DURHAM, N. H., July 25 ;P)-Guy
Stevens, OF New York, director Of
the Association of Producers of Pc.
troleum in Mexico, tonight pictured
Mexico as a land ruled by the lsov-
ereign will OF one man, or at most,
a "small group OF Individuals" bent
on confiscating hundreds of millions
of dollars worth oil American prop
erty.
Mr.. Stevens discussed the problem
Of understanding the Mexican sit
uation," in an address before the
conference on American rela.
tions of the United States "has been
flooded with pro-Nexican government
propaganda" of which ''inaccuracy
or deliberate distortion is the out
standing characteristic"
Asserting that the government Of
Mexico is not q government by tha
people, but by persons who maneuver
themselves into control of the army,
and citing instances to show that
the Mexican courts are but the tools
OF the government, Mr.. Stevens
warned Americans not to try to un-
derstand Mexico in terms of the
United States"
Quoting former Secretary of State
Hughes to the effect that the Mex
lean government is seeking to con-
fiscate the properties Of Americans
on a great scale, Mr.. Stevens said,
"the very enormity of the thing
makes it ncomprehenSible to one
whose natural tendency is to judge
governmental acts by American
standards"
eff we are going to acquiesce in
the confiscation of American owned
properties by the Mexican govern,
nent," he declared, "let us consent
o it as a matter Of generosity and
grace. Let us not permit the Mexi-
an government to do it and believe
t has succeeded in fooling us about
the facts"

SENATORS URGE
EXTRA SESSION
OF CONGRESS
Republican and Democrat
Join in Request Upon
President.

WASHINGTON July IS tP-Two
senators, Smoot of Utah, a republi-
can, and Harrison of Mississippi, a
democrat, returned to the capital to-
day and Immediately issued state
ments urging President Coolidge to
call congress into extra session.
Both declared this necessary to get
an early start on tax legislation, but
differed over the extent of the pros
pective reduction should CO. While
Smoot, who is chairman of the SEN
ate finance committee, suggested a
cut of $3OOOOO,0OO, Harrison came
out for half billion, contending
that Smoot now proposed wnat the
democrats had attempted to effect at
the last session.
The Mississipian' also made pass
ing reference at the approaching
presidential campaign. Although re-
fusing to discuss the prospective dem
cratic nominee, he predicted that if
AL Smith "is nominated the south
will be for him." He also said the
New York governor has both friends
and strong opposition" in the south.
AS to the work of the next con-
gress, Harrison named flood control
legislation as the outstanding task,
but said start could be made ON
taxes while flood reports were being
completed by the war department.
Smoot also favored early considera-
ton of the flood problem.
Representative Garrett of Tennes-
see, the house democratic leader, is
sued a statement declaring congress
should enact a tax bill along the
lines of a measure sponsored last
winter by Representative Garner of
Texas, ranking minority member Of
the ways and means committee. This
bill proposed an estimated cut OF
$335 900, 900.
Also reviewing the prospective pro-
gram, Senator Edwards, democrat, Of
New Jersey, favored passage of leg
islation to adjust alien property
claims.
Harrison mapped out legislative
program including the following in
the order, he said, they should be en-
acted: Flood control, tax reduction,
farm relief, Muscle Shoals, Boulder
canyon dam, and tariff revision if

Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh paid

which he flew on Saturday and
Sunday he had perfect weather for
his return flight from Portland, Me.
When the famous flier tried to
reach Portland from Boston last
Saturday the fog made it impossi-
ole for him to locate a safe landing
place, so he turned inland and came

was regarded as unofficial and he
received no public welcome.
He flew back to Main yesterday

Today he drove back to Old Orchard
and easily took Off from the beach.

j. S. REGULATION
IN OIL INDUSTRY
IS ADVOCATED

RAPID CITY, S. D., July 25 H)-
Government regulation OF the Pc
troleum industry to conserve what
was described as the nations rapidly
diminishing oil supply, was urged
upon President Coolidge today by
Ralph Arnold, oil prospector and
geologist of Los Angeles.
Arnold, who has brought in three
new fields in Montana recently, salo
he was convinced of the accuracy
of the federal oil conservation boards
belief that the country's Oh supply
would, under present processes be
eytricated within seven years.
He told the president that the gov
ernment should take every step nec-
essary to protect our country from
future foes," through the conserva-
ton of oil.
"Our future safety" he added, "de-
pends upon our air forces. They
can't be operated without oil. A
nation whose Oil supply is exhausted
will be at the mercy of any ag-
gressor. If transportation fails, great
cities, would starve to DEATH"
The prospector declared that nc
ordinarily was opposed to govern
ment regulation of any kind but that
! in the case of petroleum, he was
convinced it was needed because the
oil industry will not regulate itself
He suggested that the government
limit the number OF borings and jolr
/ with the states in framing regula-
! tions, which would guard against
waste of gas which comes to the
surface with oil.
! Another way to conserve oil
I Arnold added, was to prohibit its use
by railroad, furnaces and all Other
devices which could use coal as
well.
! eff cur coal fields we're as close
to exhaustion as our Oil is" he said
/ "there would be a panic. We shoult
derive not too much encouragement

Governor Says if Highway

SEE COMPROMISE
Prospects Of Fourth Spe-
cial Session for Highway
Bill Looming.

PHOENIX, July IS (P)-The third
snecial session of the eighth state
legislature will get down to active
business tomorrow morning. after
having spent a full day in official
mourning out of respect to the late
Representative Charles II. Studley,
,Jr, of Pinal, and Rev. Seaborn
Crutchfield, whose death occurred
recently. 4
Members of the legislature, now
ever, were busy today formulating
LEGISLATION to provide payment OF
creditors OF the state highway de-
Dartment. and discussing an an
1ouncenlent made by Governor Hunt
indicating that fourth special ses.,
sion might he held Immediately upon
conclusion of the present once.
Both houses promptly came to or
der at 10 a. IN. and after the formal
routine and prayer heard the read
ing Of the governors message and
the special session proclamation. Mo-
tions to recess for the day as an Of.
ficial memorial to the late dignitar-
les Of the lower house were unani-
nously passed in both the senate
and house of representatives.
Governor Hunt at noon issued "a
statement regarding possible highway
LEGISLATION at this time in which he
said it was not possible to enact nigh
way legislation under the terms OF
the thilsa special session call, but
.if highway debts are paid, I shall
not be ayerse to calling another spe-
II 10 11inI1-
way matters"
That prospects Of a compromise
on the highway session were not al
together remote, and the governors
statement indicates that he may have
discussed the subject of highway
legislation with majority leaders.
A caucus of majority members was
being held tonight and it was url-
derstood that definite action to be
followed in the case of a highway
creditors bill would be formulated
at the meeting. Majority members
today we're of the opinion that it
would not be necessary to prepare
and vote on a separate measure for
each bill, such as Representative
Lynch, Greenlee, administration man,
proposes to do.
Neither President Mulford Winsor
of the senate nor Speaker Crawford
Of the house would hazard an opin-
ion on the governors statement rela-
tive to a possible fourth special ses-
sion, to follow Immediately upon adj.

Altimeter Showed Height
of $4,000 Feet Before the
Fire Broke Out.
AERIALBLOWOUT
Flier Regains Conscious
ness, Straightens Out His
Plane, Lands Safely.

WASHINGTON, July 25 R-Seek-
! ing to shatter the airplane altitude
record, Lieut.. Carleton C. Champion,
Jr., of the navy, had spectacular
battle for life high above Washing
ton today as he brought his plane
down with disintegrated and flam-
ing engine.
Champion, who nolds the altitude
record for seaplanes, reported to the
navy that his altimeter showed 47,000
feet, but preliminary reading of the
machines damaged barograph at the
bureau of standards led officials there
to say that the highest mark they
had found indicated an altitude Of
$4,000 feet. 1t was emphasized, how
ever, that this reading was by no
means final and that a definite an
nouncement must be withheld for 36
hours.
The recognized worlds record for
airplane altitude is held by a French
aviator, Callizo, who climbed to 40,-
23O feet last August.
Taking off from the Anacostia
naval station near here in the early
morning, Champion had climbed with
his plane for 40 minutes when two Of
the cylinder heads of his wasp air
cooled motor blew out. Apparently
one of the flying pieces knocked the
oxygen tube from Champions mouth,
as he said that he became uncon-
scious. What happened to the plane
then he is unable to say, but when
he regained consciousness he was
lying on his back with the oxygen
tube just above him. He placed it in
his mouth and then got his plane
under control
Meantime, the engine caught on
lire, but violent sideslip followed by
dive was successful in blowing the
fire out. At that time the altimeter
indicated height of $4,000 feet. The
engine continued to disintegrate and
caught on fire three additional times
before the plane, a Wright Apache,
finally was brought down on a corn
field near the Anacostia station.
