 ON APARTMENTS IGNORED
Plenty Of Petroleum Is In Storage, Which Will Prevent Any Delay In Deliveries-Embargo On Arms To Be Rigidly Enforced-Lines Are
 Being Frightened At All Ports In Mexico

was believed that the revolutionary forces still maintained control of that port.
 One report given credence in oil circles stated that revolutionary forces, operating from Tuxpam, had advanced north to Potrero and had taken possession of the oil fields of the Auila company's subsidiary of the Royal Dutch company That company's wells and pipes, like those of the Pan American company, were immediately shut down, it was un- derstood.
 Oil men explained that the rebels ordered the wells and pipe closed down as they came into possession of them in order to shut off further shipments pending an understanding that the taxes would be paid to them and not to the Oregon government.
 The treasury, in addition to tele- graphing explicit directions to bor- der points, also notified all port au- thorities to hold up exports of arms or other munitions destined for the Mexican rebel forces. The actoin was preliminary to the drafting of regulations to carry out formally the terms of the embargo proclamation issued yesterday by President Cool idge.
 The action looking to an effective tightening of the lines along the border and at American ports was still another move on the part of the Washington administration in it's progressively developing policy of extending aid to the Obregon gov ernment of Mexico by selling it war equipment and at the same time pre-

NEW YORK. Jan. S.-Instructions were dispatched today to representa- tives of American oil companies in Mexico directing the method to be followed Gn paying the Mexican oil production taxes on Thursday.
 While the Association of Producers of Petroleum in Mexico, which for warded the instructions, declined to disclose their nature. because of "the ticklish situation in Mexico" it was understood that all payments would be made to the Obregon government and that no notice would be taken at this time of the decree of Adolfo de la Huerta, revolutionary leader, that the taxes be paid to him.
 Officials of the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport company expressed no concern over the shut ting down, by direction of the Mexi- can rebels. of the company's wells and pipe lines in two fields near Tux pam. comprising about 25 per cent of the corporations Mexican produc- tion of 100000 barrels daily. Plenty oil On Hand.
 It was pointed out that no fear need be felt as to the revolutionary forces damaging the property and that plenty of petroleum is availa ble in storage to prevent possible delay to deliveries.
 While suspension of the Vera Cruz cable cut off communication from that point. oil circles continued to re- ceive messages from Tampico, which is the big oil export station in Mex ico.
 Conflicting reports as to which side had possession of Tuxpam. another important oil port, were received in news dispatches, but in oil circles 1t

 Mir. Cox insisted that new day will not dawn with isolated endeavors here and there, and then asked | America is doing her share whether circle of nations" and whether her attitude is such that history will record her laggard .steeped in a sin full selfishness." Whatever is done, he declared, must be done through gov ernmental agencies.

 Reported

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.--A total in- crease in pensions of approximately sixty million dollars is provided in the Bursume general pensions bill in the amended form in which the Sen ate committee on pensions today voted unanimously to report the measure.

In the latter group veterans of 62 years old would receive the minimum of 68 years $3O, of 72 years $40. and of 75 years $50.
 An amendment adopted would in- crease the allowance for dependent children of deceased veterans of tho Civil and Spanish wars and soldiers of the regular establishment to the amount now authorized for depen- dent children of World war veterans.
