MEXICAN DEPUTIES
0. K. OIL MEASURE
Unanimous Vote on Senate
Amendments for Regulation
of Industry.
By tho Associated Press.


MEXICO CITY, December 22.-The
Chamber of Deputies last night ap-
proved the Senate's amendments to
the governments petroleum bill by a
vote or 161 to 0. The bill, which deals
with the regulation of exploration for
petroleum and gas and the operation
OF pipe lines. now only requires the
approval of President Gales to become
effective.
The amendments consist of minor
technlcalitieS and leave the original
purposes of the measure unchanged.
The petroleum bill. as introduced in
the Mexican Parliament. holds that
the Mexican nation has direct in
alienable dominion over all oil, gas,
petroleum and mineral deposits. and
that the federal chief executive alone
can authorize exploration and exploit
tation. The law is not to be retro
active. Concessions under previous
laws are affirmed. but may be
amended in conformity with the new
measure. Holders of previous con-
cessions and rights must demand
confirmation within a year, or other
wise their rights will be considered
forfeited.
The law provides that concessions
may be annulled on the ground of
failure to fulfill the details of the new
measure. Violations not calling for
forfeiture are punishable by fines of
from 500 to 5000. Everything con
nected with the oil industry falls
within the Jurisdiction OF the Presi-
dent Mexican individuals and cor
porations may obtain concessions, but
foreigners can do SO only if they COM
ply with the provisions of article u
of the constitution. Concessions are
not transferable, wholly or in part. TO
foreign governments or sovereiSns.

NEW YORK, December 22.-The
suggestion Of Arturo Bodanzy, Viennese
conductor of the Metropolitan Opera
Co. that jazz may yet find place as
a dance form in grand opera, has STIR
red the creators CT jazz.
They insist that, at least for the
present. jazz wants no place in the
Metropolitan. They even declare that
such place would be fatal to jazz.
''The best way to ruin Jazz is to
dress 1t up in an opera cape and put
1t in the diamond horseshoe Of the
Metropolitan" says Ted Lewis, ex-
ponent of true jazz. The other jazz
lists agree heartily with Mr.. Lewis.
They think jazz justifies itself, is
characteristic of America and a highly
developed musical form as it stands.
Opera Is high-brow music" said
Lewis, and classcists should confine
themselves to their medium"
Twelve years ago Irving Berlin de-
termlned to write a ragume opera. but
since that time he has changed his
mind. Il don't believe now that any
man ever Will consciously write a jazz
opera, he says. II do believe, how
ever, That some day a great composi-
tlon Will be written in jazz tempo.

T WAS to meet Packard at the corner

street at half-past f1ve The streets
are crowded at such time; no where
else in the world have seen such con-
gestion. Paris, London, San Francisco
are deserted villages as compared with
these crowded thcroughfares of New
York when Offices and business houses
pour out their quotas at closing time.
! am always fascinated yet almost
overwhelmed by such crowd-un-
counted thousands of them there are
Of all classes of society, Of all nations,
Of every belief and unbelief known to
man. What do they all do to keep
themselves alive? Where are they all
going now and in the years to come?
They seem like group of ants whose
nest has been disturbed and who are
struggling to get under cover.
The hopelessness of it all depresses
me as the minutes pass, and stand
there waiting while the interminable
procession moves on. How can any
one ever hope to pull himself out of
this engulfing commonplace and rise
above such crowd? 1t seems as i'm
possible as to stem Niagara.
And yet Jacob Riis did it. Friend

what it would mean to be penniless

himself one of the first Americans

as the well-known hens teeth.
Up stepped husky looking fellow
who had been waiting around for some
time. He introduced himself to Man
ager Curlcy as one kid Toby" or
some such fighting cognomen, stated
that he had done considerable big-time
scrapping in the Middle West, and in
quired if Burns would like sparring
partner.
Further, be advised Burns manager
that he would strive to make it pleas
ant for his protege and would not re-
sort to rough tactics unless Burns
forced him into it. What he really
desired, he made it appear, was for
Burns TO give him a workout. He got
one.
The two SPARED for space, and
then the rough stranger made the
mistake of fetching one up from the
floor and depositing it on the handy
side of Burns head. He scanned sur
prised when Burns didn't fall. q,

After that things happened with
startling rapidlty. Burns Drought
over a right which sent Kid Toby to
the canvas. He lifted Kid Toby up
and knocked him down again.
Burns decided to take it easy for u
time, believing that his ambitious
sparring partner had enough for the
nonce. But he reckoned without Kid
Toby. Burns caught another punch
which nearly sent him out the second
story window. That settled it.
When Kid Toby came out of his
dream several minutes later he closely
resembled some hapless human who
might have stopped TO pick a daisy on
the right hind side of Il mule.
Kid Toby gamely promised to re-
turn for another session Saturday aft
