Mexico Backing Down ix Oil
Land Controversy With
United States.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
FSRS'P fruits of the efforts of Am
bassador Dwight Morrow in Mexico
and the “good will” flight of Col
harles A. Lindbergh to the capital of
that republic are seen in the action of
the Mexican house of deputies in the
oil land controversy which has been
the main barrler to entirely friendly
relations between the two countries
Orged on by President Calles, the
tiouse passed a bill wiping out the pro
vigion requiring owners of oil lande
acquired prior to May 1, 1017, to ex
ehange thelr fee simple titles for con
eessions terminating in fifty years.
This prevision was a part of the law
earcying Into effect the constitution of
1917 nationalizing Mexican natural re
sources. The retroactive application

::el.oAllhouh news dispatches from
City attribute the action of
Oalles to the friendlier relations es
tablished by Morrow and Lindbergh,
there Is ample ground for the belles
that the Mexican President was forced
%0 take the step by the virtual state of
dankruptcy of the Mexican govern
ment,
That the American government also
fa in a concillatory mood was evi
denced by its Intention to relax the
embargo on export of war munitions
and military equipment to Mexico.
The first Instance of this relaxation
wus the permission given by the State
department for the purchase by the
Mexican government of the Ford alr
plane In which Mrs. Lindbergh flew to
Mexico City,
COLO.\'EL LINDBERGH terminated
his Mexican visit Wednesday,
when he hopped off for a tour of Cen
tral America. Escorted by seven
Mexican planes, the Spirit of St. Louis
took the alr early in the morning,
skimmed past the great volcanoes
Popocatapetl and Ixtacgibhuatl, and was
on its way te Gautemala City, the first
scheduled stop, 675 miles away, About
seven hours later he was belng most
enthusiastically welcomed by the
Guatemalans, His tour will take
him to Panama, where great doings
are planned, and thence he will fly
back by way of Honduras and Pro
greso to Havana, Cuba.
Mrs. Evaugeline Lindbergh bade her
son farewell as he left Mexico Clty,
and a few minutes later she and her
companions from Detroit started on
thelr flight back to Michigan. They
headed for Tamplco and were accom
panied by two Mexican army planes,
A'l‘ THIS writing hope for the am
phiblan moaoplane Dawn has dwin
died almost to the vanishing point, and
1L Is belleved Mrs, Frances Grayson and
her companions, Oskar Omdal, Brice
Goldsborough and Fred Koehler, have
perished. Starting from Roosevelt
Beld, New York, for Harbor Grace,
KNewfoundland, on what was intended
1o be the first leg of a flight to Oroy
von, England, the Dawan Immediately
lan into rough weather and, save for a
jrugmentary SOS ecall picked up Sun
day by the Canadian wireless station
on Sable island, has pot been heard
from. At that time the plane was
long overdue at Harbor Grace, On
Monday & cable operator on the op
posite side of Trinity bay from Har
bor Grace plcked up part of a call
which It was surmised might be from
e Dawn, and it was thought pos
sible the Grayson party might be
down in some llsolated spot not far
away. Meanwhile a number of Ameri
can destroyers, the dirigible Los An
geles and all vessels In the region
sought diligently for traces of the
missing plane, examing waters and the
coast carefully but without result. The
search, however, was continued.
H EARST'S wonderful Mexican docu
ments were still further discred
ited when Frank Y. McLaughlin, =
civil engineer of Mexico City, ap
peared voluntarily before the senate
investigatiug committee and declared
that Miguel Avila, who procured the
papers, was “a notorious purveyor of
documents.” McLaughlin, who said he
knew nothing of the papers published
in the Hearst papers purporting to
show creation of a $1,215,000 fund for
four United States senators, told the
committee that Avila had peddied
“twenty or thirty worthless docu
ments” to him, Including one purport
ing to have come from the American
embassy,
This latter, McLaughlin said, was
brought to him by Avila in Mexico
City. MecLaughlin then was vice presi
dent of the El Sol Petroleum company,
which has a contract with the Mexi
cap government, , It consisted of a sin
gle typewritten sheet of Awmerican em
basay stationery offering to disclose
¥% visit to Washington. Although
the paper was unsigned, MecLaughlin
related that Avila told him Arthur
Bliss Lane, then first secretary of the
American embassy, was outside the
building in an automobile and would
furnish the information. MeELaughlin
said he did not believe Avila's story
and told him so., That Lane had any
part In such a scheme was denled on
beha!f of the State department, al
though the department itself declined
to dignify the story with a formal
denial,

According to a report from Mrs,

York State Federation of Women's

under the auspices of the federation
have given the bluebird first place in
the race for state bird. Bob-white was
second, and although the robin and
oriole were both popular, they were
left behind in deference to Virginia
and Maryland respectively, Legisla

official state bird is planned.
