States in Puebla, Mex, was confronted
by a firing squad of Carranza troops
who were about to shoot him when he
was saved by the timely arrival Of an
officer is revealed in q long report
just received by the State Depart
ment.
Details of the affair became known
today, together with the fact that
strong representations on the subject
as yet unanswered were promptly
made to General Carranza.
CIubbed Him with Revolver
The United States government not
only protested against the discount
eous treatment to an American con-
sular agent, but demanded the punish
ment of those who had threatened
him. Mr.. Jenkins, who has extensive
property interests in Mexico, first was
arrested when the Zapata troops were
in control of the city and when the
CarranZa forces subsequently entered
a sergeant and several CarTanza sol
diers claimed there had been firing
from his house. Later he was releas-
ed, only to be re-arrested, the report
said, dubbed with pistols and taken
to barracks where he was stood up to
be put to death. Just in time, Car
rama officer rode by and when Jenk-
ms protested that he was an Ameri-
can consular agent, the officer order
ed that he be taken before General
Obregon. While the latter released
Jenkins and apologized for the con-
duct of his subOrdinates, the State
Department pursued the matter with
a request for the punishment of the

Further information concerning the
shooting of General Dozal by the Ma

uary "a, came to the department to-
day.
General Doza1, who made friends
among the Americans in Vera Cruz
and by his attitude at the time that
port was occupied by the United
States, was accused of surrendering
the city of Topic without cause, of US
ing public money and Of giving arms
to the enemy. He denied all the
charges, the report said, and claimed
his only offense had been refusal to
force Mazatlan currency upon the peo-
pie of Topic Americans raised a

FORMING FIGURE FOR LIFE
Erect Carriage Not Only Adds to Ap-
Pearance, but Also to Health
Correct Way to Walk.

While you are growing you are form
ing your figure for life If you are ac-
customed to crouch down in your seat
at school, If you walk with stopped
shoulders, if you stand so that one hip
is higher than the other, If you twist
your head to one side, be certain that
this win be your appearance when
you have grown to Womanhood.
Keep your head up, your chest out,
and your abdomen in when walking.
DO not crouch on your spine when
seated When standing, make the hip
bones support the weight Of all the
upper part Of the body; that is why
they are made so broad and strong.
II your nose, chest and toes touch the
wall when you stand facing it, your
body is in good position Practice
this until you have an erect carriage
that wiz add not only to your health,
but to your appearance-Young Sol

MIGHT AROUSE LABOR'S ANGER
Oil Kings Son Afraid Statements May
Stir Up More Trouble Over
Colorado Mine Strike.

3 New York, Feb. 18.-The intimation
that Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the
United States Commission on Indus
trial Relations, distorted his testimony
is contained in a statement which
John D. Rockefeller, jr., issued today.
Mr.. Rockefeller said:
Newspapers throughout the cOun-
try today quoted Frank P. Walsh,
chairman of the United States Com
mission on Industrial Relations, as
saying in reference to my testimony
in New York:
Z asked him John D. Rockefeller,
jr.,) if they Ghe funds of the Rookie
teller Foundation) could be used to es-
tabIish q strikebreaking agency, if
the foundation deemed it to the inter
est Of American workingmen that a
strike should be broken. He stated
they could
This statement, as reported, is alb
soluteIy false. The fact is that no
alone was no such answer given, but
any such inference was unwarranted
by either the letter or the spirit of my
testimony. If such a question had
been asked, I should have answered
unqualifedly that such use of its funds
by the foundation would be in viola
ton of the law granting its charter.
''Mr. Walsh is, of course, aware that
strikebreaking is a very sensitive sub
ject with workingmen. He well knows
that if I had made such a statement
as this, it would inf1ame the minds Of
workingmen against the Rockefeller
Foundation, as well as against those
who were trying to administer its af-
fairs.
1T surely could not have been in
tended by Congress that the chairman
of this commission should distort the
testimony of witnesses, or put into
their mouths testimony which they
never gave, the inevitable of which
would be to increase the very indus
trial unrest which the commission was
appointed to allay.''
Frank P. Walsh replied that he had
not said that the testimony referred
to was given by Mr.. Rockefeller.
What he did say was that the testi-
mony was brought out in the inquiry
in New York but he did not remember
who the witness was.

Mcdonald will meet Talbot in spe-
ciaI weight contest, and Kiviat and
Ray are scheduled to meet in the one

Melvin Sheppard of the Irish-Ameri-
can Athletic Club, the great middle

RUSSIANS CHECK
RUSH OF GERMANS
Advance of Victorious Prus-
SLAMS Halted by Re-en-
fOrcd SIaV Army.
LULL IN CARPATRIAN BATTLE
Neither Side Able to Make Much
Progress Although Cars Men
Claim to Have RepuIsed
Many Assaults.

London, Feb. 20.-The German army
which drove the Russians out Of East
Prussia has occupied the Russian town
of Tauroggen on the East Prussian
frontier north of the Niemen river,
but elsewhere in this region the Ger
mans apparently have been halted by
the arrival of Russian reinforcements,
as for three days now the official re-
ports have referred to the fighting as
taking place in the AugustowO Dis
trict and in the vicinity of P1ock and
Sierpec, on the right bank of the Low
er Vistula.
In the Carpathians neither side has
been able to make much progress, al
though the Russians announce. they
have repuIsed numerous Austro-Ger-
man attacks. Military men are OF the
opinion the Austro-Germans did not
leave enough men in the Carpathians
when they sent the reinforcements
which assisted in driving the Russians
out Of Bukowina and that if they are
defeated in the mountain passes, they
may find themselves in very difficult
position.
The Russians apparently made an
orderly retreat through Bukowina, al
though severely harassed while max
ing their way through the difficult
mountain passes in deep snow.
A Vienna report received through
Rome says reinforcements have
reached the Russians and that big
battle is expected between Nadworna
and Kolomea.
Topedoed Norwegian Ship.
London, Feb. 2O.-An official state

says the Norwegian tank steamship
Belridge was struck by a torpedo
fired by a German submarine today
near Folkestone. Pieces of the tor
pedo, it is asserted, have been found
on the ship. A dispatch to Lloyd's
from Dover reports that the steamer
Bilridge is now anchored in the Downs
and that arrangements are being
made for her to proceed to Thames
haven, conveyed by tug.
