Halts Efforts to
Railroad" Jenkins

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 5. UNITED
Press. )-Timely intercession by the
American government alone halted
efforts of the Puebla (Mexicol courts
to railroad" William o. Jenkins to
prison, according to J. J. Marshall,
manager of large American manu-
featuring company, who lived at the
jenkins home in Puebla for the last
two months.
Jenkins didn't have any more to
do with the charges made against
him than I did," Marshall declared.
"The charges against him were chang
ed so often that Jenkins himself did
not know half the time what the new
ones were.
"At the time they had Jenkins in
jail charged with 'abducting himself,
they had lawyer named Novoa i'm
prisoned for abducting Jenkins. And
they arrested the watchman at Jen-
kins' plant and charged him as an ac-
complice."
The Mexican governments appar-
ent desire to dispose of Jenkins case
quickly, Marshall asserted, was to
avoid being forced to reimburse the
consular agent for the sum he paid
as ransom. They feared such a pre-
cedent would cost them huge sums if
once established, he said
IF the United States government
hadn't stepped in when it did," he
continued, ''they would have railroad
ed him to prison in short order.
"The courts would not take any
testimony from his side of the case
and would send to Mexico City only
such testimony as would 60 against
him. Every method was used to
make the Indians and poems give the
testimony the court wanted.
One day they brought bunch Of
Indians in from jenkins ranch to tes
tify. The prosecuting attorney tolC
them he wanted them to say they saw
Jenkins at his ranch Oct. %. They
refused. The attorney ordered The
guards to take the five Of them out
side. In few minutes rife shots
were heard.
"The guards came back in tht
room and the attorney again asked
the Indians if they wanted to give
the desired testimony. But the five
were not really shot. They were lee
outside and held while the guards
fired in the air. This 10 just an in
stance of how testimony was OBJ
tanned.
The officials are just now taking
the case seriously, but the govern.
ment is doing all it can to cover w
the worst parts. AS a matter of fact
a foreigner can't walk the streets ir
Mexico City and be safe. There have
been numerous cases where the po.
lice have held up foreigners.

Required incubation Mininizes Death
From Disease-British Expeditionary
Mortality Rate Twice American
Disease Death Rate Increased by
Influenza Epidemie-Rate 20 per
1000.

Washington, Feb. 15.-"Battle death
rates in the American army during
the great war exceed the death rate
from disease" General March an
nounced today, in making public sta
tistics prepared by the general staff.
In past wars disease killed many
more men than lost their lives under
fire. The death rate for the entire
American army in this war was 90
per 1000 per year. In the expeditionary
force it was 81 per 1000 per year. The
disease death rate was II per 1000
per year in the expeditionary forces,
and 16 in the army at home.
Among the American forces, the
table showed, the battle death rate
was only half that Of the British ex-
peditionary forces. which was given
as 40 per 1000 a year.
General March said the lower death
rate from disease was undN ubtedly due
to the innoculation requirements. But
for the influenza epidemic he said. the
disease rate would have been cut in
half
