0. Jenkins, Says Press
Dispatch.
HO OFFICAL ANSWER YET
Undersecretary of Forelnn Relations
Declares There Is "No Legal Foun
dation Nor Principle of Interna,
tlonal Law" for Such Action.
Mexico City, Nov. 28. Declaring
4hcrc Is "no logol foundation nor prln-
dplo of International lnw" upon which ',
Hie United States bases' Its demand '
for the Immediate release of William
O. Jenkins, United Stntes consular
agent nt I'uchln, the Mexican govern
ment, through Illllarlo Medina, under
secretary of foreign relations, stated It
was Impossible to accede to the request
,f the American state department.
It Is asserted that the executive de
partment cannot under Mexican law
Intervene nt this moment In an nfTnlr
which Is strictly In the hands of state
courts.
It Is dcclnred the Imprisonment of
atr, Jenkins was neither unjustified
aor arbitrary and that Mr. Jenkins Is
preventing his own freedom by refus
fng to give ball, for which reason, It
fc said, "he cannot ho considered a
victim of molestation."
Washington, Nov. 27. The state de
partment's demand upon the Mexican
government was for the "Immediate
release" of Consular Agent Jenkins,
who Is still held In the penitentiary,
chnrged with complicity In his own
Stidnnplng.
The American demand, though call
ing for .Tonkins' release "Immedlate
fy," Tmd not brought a reply to Wash
ington, though sent to Mexico City
aver n week ago.
Some officials expressed hellef that
ilic Mexican government's delay In re
plying to the American note wns part
ef a deliberate plan to still further
antagonize the Unlted'States.
Secretary Lansing Issued this state
aient :
"The state department hns not re
ceived the answer of the Mexican gov
ernment. A dispatch from Mexico City
says the press there announces that
the Mcxlcnn senate at an executive
cession November 24 decided to ask
President Carranza for full Informa
tion on the Jenkins case. The Mexico
City press quotes the subsecrctary of
foreign affairs as saying that the reply
to(the American note wns expected
to be handed to the American embassy
or Mexico City November 25."
Reports are being received dally
through official channels regarding ef
forts to discredit Jenkins. Today's ad
vices tell of the refusal of the court at
Tuebla to hear witnesses who volun
teered appearance to refute the report
that Jenkins had been seen confer
ring with members of the rebel bands,
on which, it Is said, was based the
charge that he was In collusion with
them.
Additional information regarding the
pressure brought to bear on peons to
secure testimony ngalnst Jenkins Is
contained In nn article in El Universal,
a Mexico City newspaper, n copy of
which hns just reached the state de
partment. The pnper tells of the arrest by the
secret police of Jose do Jesus Largo,
Florentlno Annyan, and Julio Gomez,
peons on Jenkins' hacienda, when they
appeared for their pay checks, nnd of
the "capture" on the following day of
five more peons, nil of whom were
lodged in jail until they gave their tes
timony. The correspondent of El Universal
xeports that ho Interviewed every one
vt these peons, nnd thnt all of them
xcept Anaynn were Inter freed. They
all stated, according to the corre
spondent, that the judge, as well as
Iho police inspector nt Pucbla, excr
rlsed pressure on Ignaclo Justo, Juan
Sulnzur nnd Rosendn Evangcllsta to
make statements against Jenkins.

BAKER TO FURNISH SOLDIERS
Department Commanders to U;e Reg
ulars to Preserve Order and Pro.
vide Protection for Those De
siring to Work.
Washington, Dee. 1. The govern
ment served blunt notice on soft coal
miners and operators that Interference
with coal production would not he
tolerated.
Warning that legal prosecution
would be employed to thwart conspir
acies by either side and troops sent
wherever necessary to protect miners
willing to work came from the depart
ment of Justice after members of tho
cabinet hnd considered every phase of
the fuel situation, admittedly critical.
In view of tho abrupt breaking off of
negotiations.
It Is not the Intention of tho gov
ernment to let the mines remain Idle
with half of tho country In tho grip
of cold weather and tho coal sup
plies rapidly diminishing.
Seizure of mines where the owners
do uot show a disposition to co
operate in Increasing production hns
been decided upon, It was stated offi
cially. The administration, It was thought,
had fully expected tho miners to re
ject the 14 per cent wage Increase
offered by Fuel Administrator Gar
field. Anticipating this, plans had
been considered for augmenting the
present output of bituminous mines,
ofllclally figured at better than 40
per cent of normal.
A statement by Assistant Attorney
General Ames gave assurance to all
miners that they would bo afforded
ample protection If they returned to
work, even If troops hnd to bo called
out. This was the only definite state
ment of policy from tho government
In ofllcinl circles it was said that the
federal authorities were determined to
force resumption of operations on tho
terms laid down by the fuel adminis
trator. Secretary Baker, Mr. Ames said, al
ready has authorized department com
manders when requested by state au
thorities to use troops to preserve or
der. That policy provides protection
for those desiring to work, he said.
Discussing department of justice
plans, Mr. Ames snld :
"All United States attorneys In the
bituminous Holds have been ofllclally
advised of the result of tho negoti
ations at Washington nnd have been
given Instructions relutlve to the situ
ation. "It is, of course, obvious that the
time has come when ample protection
will bo furnished all persons desiring
to work In mines. All persons, wheth
er miners or operators, making an
agreement or arrangement with each
other to restrict the supply of conl will
bo proceeded against as tho law pro
vides, and it should bo understood that
any person who aids or abels In re
stricting the supply of coal Is likewise
guilty by tho terms of the Lever act.
"Instructions heretofore Issued by
the war department nre still In force
and, under these Instructions, depart
ment commanders will net In proper
cases when requested to do so by
the state authorities."
Operators sot out to resume pro
duction, as far as possible under tho
muddled conditions, by telegraphing
notice for posting nt mines everywhere
offering on increase of 14 per cent
for all men willing to work.
There were few expressions ns to
how this Information might be re
ceived, but representatives of the mi
ners still here said it would be no in
centive nnd thnt It would be Ignored,
especially in the central competitive
fields, embracing Ohio, Illinois, Indi
ana nnd western Pennsylvania.
