SUPREME EFFORT
 TO SETTLE UP
 WHOLE PROBLEM
State Department And White House Now
 Co-ordinated.

Washington, Dec. 6 - President Wilson is expected soon to take an active hand in the Mexican tangIe and as a result of his conference with the Senators, it was believed the Senate, state department, and White Iouse had become co-ordinated in a supreme effort to obtain final settle ment of the whole Mexican problem.
 The state department was engaged today in clearing up the report that Consular Agent Jenkins had been re- leased on bail in compliance with President Carranza's request inst cad of upon the diplomatic inststence of the United tates government. j
 On the heels of the report of Jen- ktns' release, news despatches were received from Mexico City that q check for the $500 bail bond had been deposited with the civil au- thorities at PuebIa by J. Walter Han sen, a friend of the consular agent Later despatches said the bond was placed without Jenkins knowledge and that he was attempting to re- enter the prison and await uncondi- tionaI liberty.

 military forces permitted her under the treaty. Won Lersner declared that the German government had never sought to conceal the fact that the creation of detective police forces and civic guards would be necessary, and that the German government was prepared to submit proofs to General Nollet, head of the entente commission of control in Berlin, that these organizations were permissi- bIe, under the treaty.
 Germany, the German plenipoten- tiary added, was ready to discuss the question immediately with the allies. and believed that such an offer was the best proof that she was not seek ing to avoid carrying out the treaty terms. The text of Premier Clemen- ceau's note to Won Lersner concerning the excessive German armament com plained of, which was made public today, shows that Germany was charged, in addition to the formation of the Reichweher Gmperia1 defense troops), with organizing the Sicher- heitpol:zei (secusity police) and the Zeitfreiwillige Emergency volunteers) which are declared to be virtually military forces. It summons Ger many to reduce Her forces strictly to the limits of the treaty.

REFUSED
 USE OF ARHlORY
 FOR PRODUCTION

Use of the Armory by the Harry G. Congdon Post, American Legion, for an indoor circus, has been refus- ed by Major-General Lucien F. Bur- pee, head of the Connecticut State Guard.
 The Legion had expected to clean up about $1,500 from this entertain
 ment to augment it's building fund
 Members of the Legion are very in-
 dignant at the action of the authori-
 ties and believe that they are be-
 ing discriminated against because of
 the action of the officials of the ArmfStice Day parade, who refused to allow the State Guard to lead the parade. They call attention to the fact that many other orEaniza tions l have been given the use of the Arm. ory on request.
 Mator-GeneraI Burpee explained that he had been in communication with Bridgeport parties and that there was opposition to the granting of the armory, on the ground that promiscuous use of the building would 1 tend to disrupt the drill schedule of the home guard organization. It was stated that members of the organiza- ton reporting for drill on the regu- lar meeting nights and finding the building in use by some ex-service man ; OfSaLiEalOn Tor an entertain ment would be discouraged from at tending drill, and the organization
 by Major-GeneraI Burpee that cer- would be disrupted. It was also stated tain business interests of Bridgeport opposed the granting of the armory for use of entertainments. When the American Legion com mittee member asked for perm ssion to use the armory Major General Bur
 pee asked Attorney Cronin:
 What right has the American Le- zion to ask for the use of the ar
 mory?'
 We are not asking for it as right, but as privilege the American Le- gIon representative replied.
 Well, it is a privilege which I can.
 not grant" the State Guard head re. piled.

MAN
 WAS SIGNALLING
 TNTERNED 'REDS''

New York, Dec 6-E. J. Barton went up on the roof at No. 1 Broad day today and signalled one of his tugboats to report to the Battery for orders. Immediately crowd col lected about the building and the po- lice were notified that "an anarchist is signalling towards Ellis Island where Emma Goldman, Alexander Berxman and other radicals are be- ing held for deportation.' Specta- tors considered a red revolution i'm ninent, for Barton was waving a blood red flag. When confronted by a special policeman, the superintend- ent of the building and two husky janitors, Barton promised to use a blue signal flag hereafter.
 Red is too dangerous" he said.

n'IL-S0NEXPECTS
 ID PRESSURE
 SENATOR MOSES
Conference Finds President Fit-Tension Is Re
 lieved.

Washington. Dec. 6-The confer ence between Senators Fall and
 Hitchcock of the Foreign Relations
 subcommittee and President Wilson
 yesterday afternoon cleared away a
 vast amount of fog over the Presi-
 dents condition, if it did not add a
 great deal to the stock of knowledge
 q about Mexico
 On the word of the Presidents most
 persistent opponent in the Senate. it
 is definitely known that the sick man
 ill the White House is only physically
 sick and that the tales so industrious
 ly circulated around the Senate cloak
 rooms that the ship of state was sail
 ing without a captain are only male
 voIent inventions.
 The conference was interrupted by
 the tidings that Consular Agent Jen-
 kins had been released, which re moves the Mexican situation from the
 "crisis" category. Senator Fall is to
 go on with the presentation of his
 evidence that Carranza has been en-
 cOuraging the Bolshevist and L w
 W activities in the United States and
 that the Mexican Ambassador and
 various consular officers have been
 distributing their literature, but the
 edge is off the Mexican affair for the
 time being, and it is doubted if the Fall resolution that was the osten-
 sible reason for the visit to the
 White House will pass the Senate if it comes to a vote.
 The outcome of the conference is a great relief to the Presidents friends, and particularly to his med ical attendants.
 They dreaded the possible effect of It on a man just rising out of the depths of nervous prostration and feeble from ten weeks in bed, and doubted the wisdom Of permitting it even when they gave their consent. It turns out to have been the very i best thing that could have happened Not only did the President come through il without ill-effects but it nas put a stop to the recurring ru- mors that the President was a hope less wreck, and that he would never again be a force in anything as one Senator put it in a famous letter. The President made a whimsical ref erence to this letter in answering a question about his health put by Sen ator Fall, to whom he said that he meant to surprise the folks up on the
 hill by appearing before them one of l these days, which, he continued with grim humor, ought to reassure a cer- ] tain colleague of yours (1Ioses of New Hampshire), though it might Gisap- point him.

 Only in isolated instances and in small groups were miners reported to be resuming production. In the great central competitive field and in others of the larger oganized areas the min CTS generally maintained their atti- tude of remaining away from work until a larger wage increase than the IA per cent decreed by the federal fuel administration was forthcoming.
 Production of coal at the Kansas strip pits by volunteers increased, however, and plans were advanced for similar work in Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkar5as.
 The reduction in the central, north and southwestern regions is effective Monday; in the southern Tuesday and in the eastern region Wednesday.

SOUTH SUPPORTS
CHILD LABOR LAW
Tax of Ten Per Cent on the Net
Profits Bringing the Employ
erS to Time.
NEW MEASURE IS EFFECTIVE
Results of Investigation Made by Miss
Mia +. Allen, Head Of Child Ia
Dor Tax Division, Bureau
of Internal Revenue.

'~The South in general Is supporting
the new law for prohibiting child Ia
bor," says Miss Mia +. Allen, head
or the child labor tax division OF the
bureau of internal revenue. Her work
is investigation relative to the new
child labor law.
In the South many industries have
been unblushing in their aggressive OPP
position to child labor reform. But
the investigations Of the children's bu-
reau of the United States department
of labor have brought public opinion
to bear In such a way that many OF
the employers Of children have given
ND the fight entirely. They realize
that laws prohibiting the exploitation
Of little children are inevitable, &C
cording to Miss Allen, and believe that
they might as well give up now as
later.
When the last child labor law was
declared unconstitutional its adVo-
Gates Immediately started to work on
another bill which would stand the
test OF the courts. The new law
passed last year went into effect last
summer. 1t puts a tax Of 10 per cent
on the net profits Of all employers and
industries that employ children under
4 fourteen years Of age, or employ chill
dren between the ages of fourteen and
sixteen years for more than eight
hours or before six o'clock in the
morning or after seven o'clock at night
The employment Of one child contrary
to this law will cost the business II
per cent Of its net profits for the year
To enforce this law a new bureau
had to be established in the bureau
of internal revenue. Miss Aliens In
vestigations to date indicate that there
is only one small territory In which
the tax will become effective. Thi
Is I'm the South.
