OIL MEN MEETING THIS AFTERNOON Discussing Situation in Mexico Regarding Laws New York, Dec. 30 P—A meecting of the Association of Producers of Petroleum in Mexico has been called for this afternoon to take action on the refusal of President Calles of Merxico to grant an extension of time on the new oil regulations, which go into effect January 1. A telegram from Mr. Calles an- nouncing the Mexican government decision was received this morning at the headquarters of the associa- tlon, and was turned over to experts for translation. ‘While President Calles’ action did not come entirely as a surprise, it was plainly evident that oil men were disappointed that their plea for 2 delay had been rejected. Officials of the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport company discussed the situation at a special meeting this morning, but would make no com- ment. Conferences also took place among the officials of other large Mexican producers, but it was indi- cated that all public statements would be made through the associa- tion, Daily conferences have been held by members of the assoclation dur- ing the past two weeks, in an endea- vor to decide on action to be taken by the American ol ‘nterests. The plea for an extension of time to bring about amendments to the law guarantoeing property rights ac- quired before 1017 resulted the meetings. The American oil interests had re- fused to comply with the new law on the contention that {t amounts to conflscation, rather than a confirma- tion of their rights, and that it is merely & new attempt to put into force the constitution of 1917, which declared all subsoll petroleum de- posits ‘‘vested in the nation.” Members of the assoclation c]aimi to control 85 per cent of the petro- teum industry in Mexico and the capital invoived is estimated at from a half to three-quarters of a billion dollars. BLAMES NEW YORK Prohibition Director Thinks City Ttself Is Responsible For Christ- mas Liquor Deaths. York, Dec. 30 (P—The city | of New Yorlk, with a police force and authorities empowered to punish vio- lators of health and nuisance laws, should be held responsible for the 40 deaths due to alcohol poisoning since Christmas, Chester P. district federal prohibition director, said today. “The speakeasies of New York, he sald, “are not only violating the prohibition law, but also numerous health and nuisance laws. They are subject to closing under city as well as federal statutes, and they most certainly should be closed by the community. “The action of the community should be through their own magis- | trates as the federal courts are not equipped to handle a large influx of cases. The federal government cannot be charged with the responsibility of policing ecommunities which have and do maintain police forces for that purpose.” DESCRIBES REAL SHEIK Profescor Hittt of Princeton Also Explains Just How to Pronounce the Word.

Delegations of business men peared in support of requests that the line, which now is operated by the Moore and McCormack company ; of New York, be reallocated. New England industry will be sub- stantially helped if a Boston operat- ing company is chosen, Mrs, Edith N. Rogers and Robert Luce, mem- sers of the house from Massachu- setis, told the board. Boston speak- ers asserted that the South Ameri- can market was a most promising one for New gland, which used the row products from there and returned finished good in trade. W.

The advance took place in the face of an increase in the call money rate from 5% to 6 per cent which followed the calling of about $40,000,000 in loans.
