| Washington, Dec. 9.--The Mexican
| supreme court has assumed jurisdtc-
: ton over the case OF American Consu-
| lar Agent William O. Jenkins. the state
/ department. was advised today by tho
| American embassy at Mexico City,
The message gave no details other
/ than that the transfer of the case from
! the Puebla state courts had been made
on motion of jenkins personal coun-
| sci, and officials indicated that de-
/ velopments thus far have not been
such as to cause any change in the
American governments attitude as
| outlined during the recent sharp note
to Mexico renewing the request for
| Jenkins release
| No reply to that note has been re-
! ceived and administration official
made no effort to conceal their impa-
| tience. George Summerljn, the Amer
| lean charge at Mexico City, Cabled tho
! state department yesterday that the
reply from Carranza was expected
| during the day, but so far as the de-
| partment knew tonight it had not
| delivered.
GOntradiCtS ltScli.
| In refusing the original request Of
! the United States that Jenkins be re-
| leased, the Mexican government said
I that Jenkins case was in the hands
| Of the state courts Of Puehla which
had charged him with giving false evil
! dence in connection with his kidnop-
| ping by bandits in October and his
/ subsequent release ON payment Of
| $td0, ,000 ransom, and that the eXecu-
tive department was powerless to
| act. In its reply, the United states
f, took the position that under the new
constitution of Mexico the federal su-
preme court alone had jurisdiction over
eases Of foreign diplomats and consul
/ lar representatives in Mexico, This
/ WIS also the position OF Jenkins coun-
sci in arguing the motion that his case
| be transferred to the supreme court.

ebla penitentiary last Thursday on
4 t00o pesos bond. furnished by j.

| Cumstanccs surrounding his release
