Huerta Plans Visit to Hughes

De la Huerta, who has been in New
York, planned yesterday afternoon to
leave last night or this morning for
Washington for a conference with Sec
retary of State Hughes. He said that
the exact tipe of his departure was de-
pendent upon the receipt of telegraphic
instructions from Mexico City, every
step that he takes being in accordance
with the expressed wishes of President
Obregon.
Senor de la Huerta denied that the
intimation that las arisen both in the
financial district and in Washington
that approval of the debt agreement
signed by him and the international
committee of bankers was in any way
associated with the prospects of recog-
milton. He declared that the debt
agreement stood by itself, and that ac-
tion upon it would be taken independ-
emily Of the question of recognition.
In response to an inquiry as to
whether recognition might develop as
as result of his call upon the Secre-
tary of State, Senor de la Huerta said
that he did not care to discuss the
purpose of his visit prior to the event.
He will return to this city from Wash
ington before going to Mexico City,
and will at that time issue a compre-
hensive statement as to his accom-
plishments while in this country.

A policeman and two civilians were
shot last night in the course of a mys-
terious automobile chase through four
police precincts. Three men were ar
rested and a young woman who is be-
ieved to have been with them was
found on the street in a state of COL
lapse.
The excitement started when Louis
Salwsy, sitting at the window Of his
home at lou West 119th Street, saw
three men step out Of an automobile
that drew up in front of the house and
start to inspect an automobile which
belonged to him and which was parked
before the door.
Salway went out to question them
He was shot three times. The three
men then jumped into Salways auto
mobile and drove east on 111th Street
to Fifth Avenue, up Fifth Avenue to
112th Street, and through 112th Street
to Madison Avenue. On Madison Ave-
nue., between 115th and 116th streets,
they encountered Patrolman Joseph
Crawley, Of the East 1O4th Street po-
lice station. Crawley was about to
commander an automobile to chase
them when he was shot twice in the
body
BY this time patrolmen from four
police stations were coming from all
directions in taxicabs to give chase. A
police sergeant was racing along be-
hind the fugitive automobile in his car
Back to the West Side through 125th
Street the pursued and pursuers sped
The young woman was found on the
sidewalk on 125th Street, near Lenox
Avenue. She said she was Emma Knott,

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Treas
ury does not know whether Elmer
Dover is still Assistant Secretary in
charge of customs and internal reve-
nue. or not, it was disclosed to-day by
high officials. Neither, apparently,
does Mr.. Dover.
Secretary Mellon was represented
to-day as believing Mr.. Dover's resig-
nation was effective on July Is, but as
not knowing whether Mr.. Dover had
severed his official connection with the
government as Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury. However, high officials
said, some consideration has been
given TO the selection of a successor
to Mr.. Dover, although nothing definite
has been decided.
Mr. Dover said he knew nothing
about the matter and had nothing to
say. He was still on duty late to-day.

The zero hour for the authorized

morning before the carriers were con-
fronted with a new strike THREAT, this

Meanwhile there were few ;ndic.-
tlons that the companies were finding
less difficulty than heretofore in
keeping service up to normal in the
face of the opposition which has al

no failure to maintain full passenger
schedules there probably was an in
crease rather than a decrease in the
delays which have characterized trans
portation on half a dozen roads enter

The carriers alleged attempts to es-
tablish and dominate company union
are involved in the strike, and the
union leader asserts that the men are
coming to him in numerous committees
to beg for authorization to quit.
Mr.. Fenstermacher more or less
burned his bridges behind him after
making the strike threat by making
public part of a Letter which, he al
legged, was intercepted by member
of the brotherhood and found to refer
to the company's plans regarding the
reduction Of the clerks pay.
"The change in the effective date of
these new rates of pay" said the docu-

from severe stab wounds, Mrs. Lewis
Brinton, wife of one of Philadelphia's
noted physicians, is in the Bryn Mawr
hospital, where she was taken after a
murderous attack by Titsuizi Sakiuici,
Japanese, employed as cook at DR..
Brinton's summer home at Rosemont.
The cook used an ice pick and nearly
reached Mrs Brinton's jugular vein.
The attack was actuated, according to
the cooks own words, because Mrs.
Brinton had called in the Radnor
Township police to subdue him Sum
day, following reprimand over his
refusal to wear coat while at work.
To-day at o'clock Mrs. Brinton
went to the kitchen and ordered the
cook to don his coat. He rushed at
her and, grasping her by the throat,
dragged her into the living room. He
picked up an ice pick on the way.

Special Gable to The Tribune
MEXICO CITY, July 17.--All oil COM
panies in Mexico to be combined bv
the government into one huge concern
under one head directed by Americans
was the proposition made to Adolfo de
u Huerta. Finance Minister. at recent
conferences with Wall Street bankers
in New York, according to the "Ex-
celslor.' Just returns were planned
Tor tn government. according to the
newspaper, and the corporation was to
have the 1t to explore practically
the whole .epublic, including virgin
lands. The oil men are said to have
made their proposals to De la Huerta
in writing and he is expected to lay
them before President Obregon upon
his return to this city.
Agreed to Pay Government
1t was said the oil men agreed to
pay the government in export taxes, 40
per cent cash on what should be paid
in Mexican government bonds under
the law of June z, 1921, although the
agreement stipulates that this should
be changed or modified later. No
change is proposed in the present pro-
la Huerta the question of their rights
prior to and after the present consti-
tuition went into effect.
During the conferences De la Huerta
is said to have limited himself to
listening, leaving the decision of the
agreement with the Mexican govern
ment with Obregon when the Finance
Minister makes his recommendation
upon his return. BY these means, it is
said, the oil men hope to reach final
agreement regarding future develop
ments in Mexico.
Riverbea Development
Another important question covered
was the development of present Fed
eral zones, such as riverbeds and
lagoons, which Mexico reserves the
right to explore on its own account.
The proposed oil mems agreement is
closely related to the bankers arrange
ments, as in order to pay the interest
on fereign debts Mexico must rely on
oil revenues as the principal source,
plus the 10 per cent from profits of the
railroads, which, it is hoped, will re-
turn to paying basis with their re-
turn to their owners. The first pay
ments on the foreign debt, to begin
next January, will be raised from the
Mexican oil companies, according to
the law
"The Excelsior" impresses the impor-
tance of the proposed agreement, men
tioning the appearance of salt water
in the oil fields as showing tendency
to dry up, and that it is imperative
that Mexico permit the exploration of
new fields In order to enable the coun-
try to continue to derive revenues from
oil.
