INVITES CIVIL VAR

Bismarck, S. D.. Nov. 21.-(By A.
PA petition asking the state Su-
preme Court TO overrule the order of
district Judge Nuessle which directed
the state TO return mining properties
to their owners is expected to be filed
in the Supreme Court today by counsel
for Governor Lynn j. Frazier. The
petition charges that Judge Nuessle
acted unlawfully.
The petition cites that Governor
Frazier could summarily remove Judge
Nuessle for his interference with the
military forces. The petition, too, deals
with the declaration of Judge Nuessle
that state Of civil war" if neces-
sary, is preferable to ''despotism" in
which he light he said he viewed the
seizure of te coal mines by the state.
1t is charged in the petition that
Judge Nuessle's interference, orders
and infammatory remarks tend to in
vite bloodshc dand civil war, and create
loss of respect for the duly authorized
military authority of the governor and
his subordinate officers"

\ New York, Nov. 21.-The Prince of
wales began the last full day of his
visit to New York today, with a trim
to the grave of Theodore Roosevelt. at
Oyster Bay. He placed wreath ON the
grave.
The days program called for noon
luncheon at the Piping Rock Club, and
in the afternoon the prince planned to
play host to 1000 school children aboard
the british battle cruiser Renown.
This evening he will be guest at din
ner of the Pilgrims at which Chauncey

to the Hippodrome and reception at
the Seventh Regiment Armory, arranged
by Mr.. and Mrs. Rodman Wanamaker.

England is deeply touched by the

States has accorded the Prince Of
Wales" he said. "There could be no
surer indication of the depth of the

coal over the whole year by your con
troll of freight rates"
Some members of the cabinet favor
this plan. But the railroad admins
tration has, it is said, thus far main
tanned successful opposition to it,
The railroad administration has main
tained all along that shortage of cars
has had nothing to do with this years
deficit in coal production, 10000, 900
tons when the strike began, although
the only government figures available
indicate that it has been an important
factor.
1t is doubtful whether either oper-
ators or workers wish to come to an
agreement on wages until this larger
question of regular employment is set
tied. Both sides want work distributed
over the year as n measure of economy.
The miners demanded the thirty hour
week to put pressure upon the industry
somewhere, to penalize irregular en-
ployment, and to make the taking out
of coal at the so called peak" of the
demand costly. That pressure has fall
len upon the government, and both
sides are content to have it rest there,
for neither side has much liking or
respect for the way in which the ad-
ministration has managed its interpen
tion in tho dispute.

EUROPE WAITS ON u. S.
ON PACT, SAYS GUEST
Paris Engineer Declares Delay
Holds Up Exchange Regu-
Iation of World

"All Europe awaits America to ac-
cept the peace treaty, and | am very
sorry that it was not ratified by the
Senate the other day." said II. Erich
sen, n mechanical engineer of Paris,
who is studying labor saving devices in
this country.
Mr.. Erichsen is registered at the
Bellevue Stratford Hotel and is visit
ing various tool making mills in Phila-
delphia during his five or six day stay
in the city.
Until the treaty is accepted by this
country there will be no regulation of
the exchange abroad, and things will
remain longer at n standstill. The
financial condition in Italy is probably
the worst, for she is dissatisfied with
the results of the peace conference"
he continued.
Mr.. Erichsen said there Is so much to
be done during the reconstruction pc
riod and it is Europe's aim to do it on
the speediest program possible. He said
he finds American manufacturers have
perfected remarkable labor saving de-
vices and it is these that his firm is
interested in.
Europeans look for American tool
inventions to help settle the labor un-
rest that is so evident abroad" added
Mr.. Erichsen. "It is believed that the
institution of these abroad will do away
with skilled labor. We are looking for
machinery that any person can operate
or that tan operate itself automatically.
Man power is scarce enough now, and
my firm believes that by investing in
the American made products the prob
lem will be solved TO n great extent"

MOORE MISTAKEN,
GAFFNEY ASSERTS
Mayor-eIect Misinformed as to
True Condition Of City's FL
nances, He Declares
IN CONF FERENCE TODAY

Mayor elect Moore has been misin
formed regarding the city's financial af-
fairs, according to Joseph p. Gaffney
chairman of the finance committee of
Councils, who commented today upon
Mr.. Moore's statement of yesterday.
Mr.. Gaffncy said he would try to
see Mr.. Moore today and confer with
him on various matters pertaining to
the budget. including higher tax rate,
which Mr.. Moore says Is Immediately
necessary.
Mr.. Moorcs informants have not
Informed him as to the actual facts,
said the finance committee chairman.
Mr.. Gaffney was friendly in his at
titude toward Mr.. Moore's position on
city finances. Among the statements
by Mr.. Moore yesterday was one to
the effect that certain appropriations in
the budget now only cover nine months
expenses instead Of years. and that
some of the appropriations are not high
enough TO meet departmental expenses.
Explains Shortage of Funds
Mr.. Gnffney sought to explain that
the shortage of funds in some depart
ments, as for instance that of the. di-
rector of public safety, were caused by
the payment of bonuses out of regular
funds, as had been done in the case of
policemen and firemen. Payment of
such bonuses would naturally cause the
shortage this year, Mr.. Gaffney pointed
out.
Mr.. Gaffney also said that as the
bonus plan had been decided upon as
far back as December, 1918, there
could be no just accusation that such Il
plan was adopted with view to Grip
pling the director of public safety's de-
partment next year.
The present Mayor has made the same
recommendations in his budget for
1920, and this will be ample If bonuses
do not have to be paid out of it, as
serted Mr.. Gaffney.
Asked if he favored increasing the
tax rate, Mr.. Gaffney replied:
THE tax rate will depend entirely
upon the needs of the city"
Mayors Budget Not Binding
Speaking of the Mayors budget Mr..
Gaffney said:
The Mayors budget is virtually a
series of recommendations and the new
charter provides that a budget submitted
by the Mayor is not binding on COun
Gil and may be increased or diminished. 4"
He declared that at public meetings
of the finance committee on November
10 and IA he stated that nothing would
be done regarding city affairs until Mr..
Moore had been consulted, and that his
wishes would be followed. He said
that this assertion still held true.

FIND ASSESSMENTS o. K.
Rise In Figures Of seth and 4sth
Wards Satisfactory

Property owners in the Thirty ninth
and Forty eighth wards showed no ev-
idence of dissatisfaction today with the
increased assessments for 1920 placed
upon their holdings.
There were virtually no complaints
from the two wards when the Board of
Revision of Taxes took up appeals from
that section of the city.
In the Thirty ninth ward the assess
able value has been increased $1,000. =
900, much of which arises from 696
new dwellings erected along Oregon ave
nue. and adjacent streets during the
year. The Forty eighth ward, with
about 100 new properties, has 81 800,
600 added to it's taxable value, an in
crease of approximately IS per cent
on the 2000 dwellings within its boun
daries.

TODD SEEKS TO SAVE
JOHNSON ART FOR CITY
Another Conference Will Be Held
Wednesday in an Effort to
Retain Collection Here

Another conference will be held next
Wednesday at the Office of M. Hampton
Todd, 1873 South Twelfth street, in an
effort to save the John G. Johnson art
collection for Philadelphia.
As matters stand the city still has no
fund with which to commence the pro-
posed building at Twenty second street
and the Parkway for the housing of
the collection.
The $75, 900 which Mayor Smith
thought could be used has been appro
priated for other uses by City Councils.
The Johnson art treasures are still in
storage. 1t has been proposed that the
old johnson home at $40 South Broad
street be sold so as to provide home
for the works of art, but the city S
right to dispose of the property has
been questioned. The house is said to be
worth 100000.
Mr.. Johnson s will provided that the
works Of art should go to the Metro
politan Museum of Art if Philadelphia
failed to start proper building for his
gift within six months after his death
in April, 1917. The delay in protecting
the city's right to the works of art has
raised many questions as to the proper
disposal of both the Johnson collection
and the johnson home.

MEXICO IS Warned
TO FREE JENKINS
Further MoIestation of Consular
Agent viii Seriously Affect
Relations" Note Says
FEAR FOR VICTIMS HEALTH
BY the Associated Press


Mexico City, Nov. 21.--William P.
jenkins, the American consular agent
at Pucbla, passed Thursday in the peni =
tentiary, where he held a long conference
with Matthew r. Hanna, secretary OF
the American embassy in Mexico. Mr..
Hanna has gone to Puebla to keep the
embassy advised as to the developments
of the case.
Washington, Nov. 21.-tBy A. P.)
Mexico has been warned by the
American Government that any further
molcstation of William o. jenkins, the
American consular agent at Puebla,
who recently was kidnapped by bandits,
would seriously affect the relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
for which the government of Mexico
must assume sole responsibility.
Coupled with the warning was de-
mand for the immediate release of the
consular agent, who was rearrested
Tuesday on charges in connection with
his abduction and ransom in the sum
Of S150,000 gold.
Military View OF Situation
State Department officials in dis
cussing the Mexican situation today dis
closed that three years ago the army
general staff estimated that an army of
400, 600 men and three years would be
required for complete Intervention in
Mexico by the United States.
Officials did not say what the present
estimate of the general staff was, but
it was understood to be less than that
prepared before the world war, due to
the development of new instruments of
warfare and an enormous increase in
American war materials of all kinds,
particularly motorized transports, air
planes and artillery.
Discussing the case of Consular
Agent jenkins, officials said because of
the Mexican Governments laxity in
trying to put down the revolutionary
forces it had failed to give proper pro
lection to Jenkins and that consequently
he might have ground for claim against
the Mexican Government for the ran
som money paid to his captors.
Jenkins Describes Plight
Mr.. Jenkins was first arrested early
this month on the charge of collusion
with the bandits who took him from his
home at Puebla on October 10, but he
was released after remaining in the
penitentiary two hours. He was re-
stricted to his home, however, and
Tuesday was rearrested on complaint
that he had threatened poems who had
given evidence on which the state au
thorities acted in first taking him into
custody.
In a letter to Representative Davis,
of Tennessee, under date of No
vember 4, Mr.. Jenkins gave graphic
description of his capture by and ex-
perience with the bandits, ~ho, he said,
told him that the principal object in
kidnaping him was "to demonstrate
that the present government of Mexico
was not able to give guarantees Ito
foreigners) not even in the second city
of the country"
Laredo, Tex, Nov. 21.-Advices re =
ceived here from Pueblo, Mexico,
state that the bandit, Federico Cor
dova, has offered to make startling
disclosure" in connection with the kid :
naping of w. o. Jenkins, and arrange
ments now are being made for Cor
dova's surrender.

Mrs. Elaine Johnson, of 430 South
Fortieth street, who was arrested on
charge of malicious mischief made by
Mrs. Annie Engle, wife of Detective
William Engle, was discharged from

Mrs. johnson was accused of having
entered the Engle apartment at 6022
Market street and cut curtains and rugs

trate last Tuesday and held under $500

nesses did not appear, Mrs. Johnson
was set free.
