PETROLEUM LAW CAUSE South and Ccntrnl American Re publics Informed of Atti tude Toward Neighbors. REUS ROWS SCORED SECRETARY DENBY TAKES RAP AT LAWLESS. MEXICO CITY, Nov. 18. (By the Associated Press.) All South and Central American republics were be ing informed today that Mexico re sented any censorsnip of its legisla tion by the United States or other powers and that President Obregon's statement to that effect had ob tained for him a virtual vote of confidence in the chamber of deputies. This action grew out of a heated debate in the chamber last night following the disclosure of a series of communications which were said to have recently passed between Foreign Secretary Pan! and George T. Summerlin, the American charge d'affaires. In these communica cations Mr. Summerlin, speaking for the American state department, was alleged to have offered suggestions concerning the prospective petro leum law which is to be considered iby congress. The Mexican govern ment is represented as holding the opinion that thee suggestions were Intrusive. Mr. Summerlin Rebuffed. Secretary Panl explained that he told Mr. Summerlin that President Obregon and the other high Mexican officials had not seen a draft of the proposed law and were therefore in no position to discuss it, and fur thermore that the Mexican govern ment could not submit to outside in terference in matters affecting its own legislation. The statement evoked applause from the deputies and a vote of thanks was extended to Secretary Pant. Seldom has there been such an outburst of oratory and vindictive speeches' against the United States as was witnessed in the chamber last night, when communications dating back to last October were read. These letters, some of which were mere personal notes between Foreign Secretary Pani and Mr. Summerlin, were interpreted as an encroachment upon the national sov ereignity, and the lower house, unanimously approving President Obregon's attitude, voted to inform all Latin-American countries of "the Yankee attempts at imperialism." Personal Note Sent. According to the communications a8 published here, Mr. Summerlin, on October 19, last, wrote a personal note to Secretary Pani, inclosing a copy of a draft of a proposed pe troleum law and requesting a copy of the official bill as soon as it was prepared. On October 21, Secretary Pani acknowledged the note and on November 15, according to the pub lished memoranda, he received-an1 other communication from the Amer ican charge, in which the- latter said he had received instructions from the state department to inform the Mexican minister "that tfle proposed petroleum law is entirely inadequate for the protection of rights legally acquired by North Americans. ' On November 16, Secretary Pani replied that both he and President Obregon had not been .informed of the text of such a law and that Pres ident Obregon had sent no such project to congress. "President Obregon wishes to in form you that the decorum and sovereignty of the nation totally incapacitates it to accept a sugges tion that its laws, which are wholly Jegislative matters, should receive previous censure from the govern ments of other countries." Deputlen Applaud Statement. This declaration, when read in the chamber, provoked a storm of ap plause and the discussion resulted in the adoption of a resolution com mending the president for his "patri otic sentiment. Alvarez del Castillo, president of the co-operatista party, which is dominant in the lower house, de clared that a vote of thanks was due the United States "for uniting all parties in Mexico against this aggression on the part of the United States." The newspapers treat the incident as the most sensational news in sev eral months. "A grave international incident is surging," says El Democrata. "Pres ident Obregon repulses all invasions of national sovereignty," says El Universal, while Excelsior declares that Mexico will not permit previous censure of its laws by any foreign government. ' Mr. Summerlin declined to make ''any statinent on any phase of the incident. INTENT TO MEDDLE DENIED Stand Against Confiscation, Says Secretary Hughes'. WASHINGTON, - D. C, Nov. 18 (By the Associated Press.) Charges that the United States has interfered unduly in the drafting of internal legislation in Mexico, which have culminated in an outburst of anti American sentiment in' the Mexican chamber of deputies, were declared by the state department tonight to be wholly unsubstantiated by the facts. In a formal statement given by the department to the Associated Press it was aaid that the VWiws on proposed oil legislation communi cated by American Charge Summer lin to Mexican officials had been ex pressed only after the Washington government had been given to un derstand that such comment would be welcomed. "We had not the slightest inten tion of interfering in Mexican af fairs," the statement continued, "and wave not uone ho. we desired to maintain inenaiy relations with the Mexican people, and it is in the in terest of that friendship that we have hoped they would find a way of giving protection against confisca tion. Upon that fundamental question the position of this government re mains precisely what it has been." The statement, authorized by Sec retary Hughes, after his attention had been called. to dispatches of the Associated Press on the subject from Mexico, follows in part: "The officers of the department of state were most surprised to Disregard of Orderly Processes Declared Blow at Roots of Republic. WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 18. Nothing "more dangerous to the con tinued mental and spiritual health of the reoublic could well be con ceived" than the "recrudescence ofJ certain forms of secret organiza tions, apparently designed to superH sede law and enforce tneir will. Secretary Denby of the navy depart ment declared tonight at a Masonic mass meeting here. "When any community or body of men or women within a communi ty," Mr. Denby continued, "disregard the orderly processes of the law, a blow is struck at the roots of the republic. Oppression does not always take the form of enforced labor or any of the acts, security from whieh we are guaranteed in the first ten amendments to the constitution, the so-called bill of rights. Religious freedom is the most sacred posses sion of free peoples. Yet, if we are to believe the tales told with such seeming truth and so frequently, re ligious freedom itself is menaced in certain parts of this country. "It seems that organized attacks are made upon individuals because of their religious faith. It is hard enough to meet the realities of this life and to compose our earthly dif ferenees without attempting to make war in the realm of the spirit, or to cherish against our neighbor evil thoughts because he may think dif ferently from us about the world to come. TITLE TO MINES UPHELD Heir's Right to Valuable British Gold Property Confirmed. VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 18. The privy council in London has confirmed the heirs of Allan L. Smith, Philadelphia, Pa., in posses sion of the Engineer group of mines at Atlin, B. C, according, to a cablegram from the lawyer who represented them in an attack on their title by the Engineer Mining company.

The company asserted that Captain Alexander had wrongfully staked the mines. EXTRMITl F1EHT LAST CANADIAN OFFICER ON WAY FOR C. C. STANNING. - Charge of Theft of Dominion Bonds Faced" as Result of Chance Remark. A two months' fight against ex tradition has been lost by C. C. Stan ning, Canadian government em ploye, accused of the theft of 2000 in Dominion victory bonds from the office in Winnipeg. Word reached local authorities yesterday that a police officer had been dispatched from Winnipeg to Portland to take back the fugitive official. Stanning disappeared a year ago and no trace of him was found until his arrest in Portland September 18. A chance remark overheard by Po lice Inspectors Phillips and Tacka berry in the police station aa Sten ning stepped from municipal court, where he was convicted under the name of George Sheldon on a pro hibition law violation, led to his downfall. In conversation with his bondsmen he mentioned the name of Stanning. Disclosure of the serious charge in Canada followed. Government authorities lodged him in the county jail, where he car ried on a vigorous fight against ex tradition. Stanning was chief clerk in the office of the social welfare commission, and his disappearance, which was coincidental with the loss of the bonds, created a sensa tion in the Canadian city. What dis position was made of the loot was not disclosed, but several hundred dollars was foundt on him at the time of his arrest. mand fluty. The ablest officer I know." . General Harbord's determination to go back to civil life brings to a close a striking military career that began in the ranks of company A, 4th infantry, in 1889. Since then he has passed through every grade the army knows from private to major-general, and was recommend ed for . a lieutenant-generalcy in France. To carry out his concep tion of his duty to his fellow offi cer,s, he now is laying aside the cer tainty of succeeding General Persh ing as chief of staff of the army and the strong probability of receiv ing higher rank. The road to the office of chief of :staff was cleared for him by a special act of congress because of his great ability.
