This number falls considerably under
the record established last year when

Mr.. Mady accounts for the slump by
the fact that more cars were turned in

during the year before. Only those
machines that were in possession of

OIL POOL LEFT
FOR FUTURE IN
MEXICAN DEAL
Chief Agreement De-

Is Taxable Basis.

Mexico City, May 4-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-Commenting on the
conclusion of his. discussions with the
American oil men, Secretary of the
Treasury de la Huerta reiterated
Thursday the statement that results
satisfactory to both parties had been
reached. Like the Americans. the
Mexican minister intimated that the
plan for a pool to exploit all of Mex
ico's oil resources had been left to
the future. +,
f"Plans for further exploration and
exploitation in the republic will be de-
termined later, after the different
points Of view which already have
been studied by both the Mexican gov
eminent and the petroleum companies
are further considered" he said. THE
differences between the government
and the oil companies. which have ex-
classes of petroleum upon which the
taxation is based in addition to the de-
cree of May "a. 1921. have been salts
.factorily arranged. On May % next,
the petroleum companies will make
their payments according to the cir
cular issued on April II, which will
apply in toto. AS a result, also of
the conferences, the agreement reached
September 3 last will remain in force.
The tax on crude oil and it's deriva-
tions will be fixed later, taking as its
base the price of the combustible oil
known as bunker in the New York
market. and once this price is fixed,
the price of other crude oils will be
established automatically.
"A minimum tax would be fixed in
order that the government may be
safe from any excessive slump in mar
ket quotations which might unbalance
the receipts from petroleum fixing a
minimum price for this fuel equal to
two pesos. or 80 cents, per BARREL"

1t is exceedingly difficult, however,
to obtain authoritative news here of
the military activities, as Tientsin is

of the Manchurian leader, an example
of which was Wednesdays report that

Donald, who Investigated the pris-
on under appointment by Governor
, Dixon, It was brought out that
in a conversation with Macdonald
at Deer Lodge, C0nIey had made
the statement that he knew Mac
Donald had been "Sent over to
get me-"
THAT was the only time" said Mac
Donald, that anything serious came
up between u.s."
The witness was asked about his
trips from Deer Lodge to Missoula
and Gregson Springs and said he had
made numerous trips from Deer Lodge
to Missoula, principally while on ms
way to or from his home at kallspell.
One special trip to Missoula was made,
he said, to consult John Byrne regard
ing the brick deals. Asked as to what
conversation he had with Byrne, he
said he believed it had been covered IN
his original report.
GenteeI Way to Say Liar"
swell. did you publish all Of this
conversation with Byrne! asked
harm can be done by suppressing lam
guage than by publishing all of it."
Macdonald was unable to recall how
much of the conversation or in what
manner it had been covered in his re-
port.
Colonel Nolan procured the portion
of the report covering the converse
tons with Conley and Byrne relating
to the brick deals and told the witness
he had indicated in his report that
both were lies.
"Oh. no; I did not say that" ex-
81 Macdonald
"Well it reads, 1T seems impossible
that either can be correct" said
Colonel Nolan, quoting from the re-
port.
Whose Horses We're Used
The witness was then questioned as
to Conley having claimed a complete
blacksmith outfit as replacement for
tools owned by him and used BY the
state and this led up to a question
as to whether Macdonald had found
that any of Conley's horses were being
used by the state.
The witness replied that such was
the case.
Were any being used on the high
ways"
II don't know of any used on the
highways"
Were no horses used on the MIN
rod job"
Yes. but ! supposed they were
state horses. If any of Conley's
horses were used I do not know it."
Did you make inquiry TO find out?'
Il did not investigate any highway
matters"
Upon being questioned regarding a
financial statement of the operations
of the A. c. NJ. ranch, which had been
placed upon a blackboard in the court
DON some time ago, particularly as to
the failure of the state to include in
the statement the amount of produce
from the ranch which was used by
the state, the witness said he did not
prepare the statement, but that it was
as taken from the prison books.
Admits. Again, Ranch Profits
Attorney General Rankin interrupted
with the question:
Were you conscious of any bias to-
ward Mr.. Conley:"
II was not" replied the witness.
We'll, did you try to get any infor-
nation other than from the records ?"
inquired Colonel Nolan.
"Yes, ] wrote to Mr.. Ford (former
attorney general) twice and talked
with Mr.. Stewart, secretary of state"
well. what was it you told the
court as TO any profit on the A. C. NJ.
ranch?' asked Colonel Nolan.
II don't know what l told the court.
if anything, but l do know the ranch
showed a profit"
Macdonald explained that the pur-
