O|L AGREEMENT . LEGALLY FRAMED
Legal Representatives of Mexican Government and
 Oil Men Shape Pact

NEW YORK, June 20.-Legal repre- sentatives of the Mexican government and of American oil interests with holdings in Mexico, this afternoon put into legal form part of an agreement reached at the first conference of the oil men with Finance Minister de la Huerta this morning. The attorneys will report to the full conference to- morrow morning
 While no statement was given out on the accomplishments of 1he confer ence this afternoon, Minister de la Huerta said it had been decided that the taxes on oils exported from Mexi- co would remain practically the same, with d few exceptions, and that the final agreement would contain provis- ions insuring equal rights to all con cessionaires in Mexico, whether they are represented in the present confer ences or not. He said the agreement also will include provisions for devel- | opment of present holdings, transpor-
 tation of the oil products, and also for ! future concessions.
 i None of the attorneys at this after 1 noon's conference would make any ] statement except that one of their i chief problems was to frame detailed l provisions for the development of con ! sessions in Mexico. Many of the pres ! ent American holdings are far inland,
 as will be most future concessions, it
 was said.
 Minister de la Huerts said he could
 not predict when the conference would end.
 Asked whether he had been invited f to Washington to discuss the matter | of recognition for Mexico, Minister de ! la Huerta said she would Appreciate 1 1t if that question were not pressed ,''
 adding that his department was not ! officially concerned with that matter

CINCINNATI, June 20. .- (By The Associated Press.

2,250,000 Alien Women In U. s. Are Affected By Bill
 Opening Up Citizen Rights

WASHINGTON, June 2O-To meet conditions which it's friends claimed have been emphasized by the women's suffrage amendment, the house today, by a vote of 2O6 to g, passed a bill which would open to alien married women substantially all naturalization and citizenship rights enjoyed by alien men. The bill would also permit Amer ican women who marry foreigners to retain their citizenship unless they re- nounce. their allegiance as do Ameri- can men who marry aliens or unless they marry aliens ineligible to United States citizenship.
 While the bill produced protracted debate and it's consideration consumed the entire day. the proceedings consis- ted principally of efforts by members to place themselves on record in speeches declaring their insistence up- on complete equality of women and men in all such matters The princi- pies embodied in the bill were en- dorsed, in the last national platform of both the Republican and Democra tic parties.

CHARGE DELAY IN ACTION ON
 BILL INTENDED
 TO KILL BONUS
Is Made Special Order of Business Immediately
 After Tariff Veto
MOVE TO UPSET PLANS
Charges Ely Thick and Fast in Bonus Squabble Lasting
 Over Five Hours

WASHINGTON, June 2O-The sol dier's bonus bill was made today. by a vote of 52 to 8, the special order of business of the senate immediately after the final vote on the tariff bill unless it is disposed of before that time.
 Adoption of motion to this effect came after an all day fight at the out set of which an effort to get the bon us before the senate failed. Several senators gave formal notice that they would continue to press for action on the bonus ahead of the tariff.
 A move to upset the program Of the Republican majority calling for action first on the tariff. was launched bv Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massachu- setts. who made formal motion that the tariff bill be displaced by the bon us measure. Senator Watson. Repub- lican. Indiana, moved to lay this mo- tion on the table. and his motion pre- vailed, 51 to 9. Eight Democrats sun norted the Watson motion. and two Republicans voted against it.
 With the announcement of the re- suit of this vote, the bonus row began in earnest. and waged for five hours. Tn the midst of it, Senator Watson of- fered motion that the bonus be made special order of business immediate W after the final vote on the tariff and that thereafter it be held contin- uously before the senate unless two birds of the senate voted to displace it.
 Senator Underwood of Alabama. the DaTNOHFnffn of the bonus. made point of order agains the two thirds vote provision. pointing cut that this was in the nat .ure of an amendment in the senate rules The noint of order was sus- tained and that provision was with. drawn.
 A question then arose as to wheth- ar the motion, if adopted in the mod flied form. would preclude a motion to take up the bonus before the tariff bill was disposed of, and after long discussion. the motion was further modified at the suggestion of Senator Norris. Republican, Nebraska. so that 9 motion to proceed to the considera- tion Of the bonus would be in order at any time.
 Charges flew thick and fast during the debate They included assertions that the delay in acting on the bonus was for the purpose Of killing it; that those who made millions out of the war were behind an organized and ex- tensive propaganda to defeat the measure. and that the Republican ma jority were planning to use the bonus as club over the heads of opponents of the tariff measure to shorten de-
