INTERNATIONAL LABOR MEETING
 STARTS SOON
Delegates From Practically Every Country Flocking To Washington; May Solve In- dustrial Unrest in U. s.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Whether the meetings here this week of two international labor conferences, in addition to the international gather ing provided for under the league of nations, will tend to allay the indus trial unrest manifest in the United States, was a subject of speculation in Washington tonight on the eve of the convening of the various dele gations representing the leading countries of the world.
 Tomorrow at the same hour-10 o'clock-the international federation of trade unions, and the international congress of working women will get under way. The executive commit tee of the latter body was to hold it's first session today, but the absence of several delegates resulted in post ponement of the initial meeting until tomorrow.
 Included among the delegates to the trades union federation meeting are a number of the less conserva- tive of the European labor leaders and their attitude toward the domi- nant questions in the industrial world will be watched by American labor eXp Xperts with interest, because of the possibility of this attitude being re flected in American labor circles Some of these delegates, it was learned today, were prepared to ex press dissatisfaction with labor pro visions of the peace treaty and to urge more far-reaching' demands from the governments of the peace making powers.
 The meeting tomorrow of the fed eration of trades unions will eb ir many respects only preliminary tc the meeting Wednesday under the league of nations covenant, the dele gates to both gatherings being in many cases the same.
 Announcement was made during the day that the German delegate: to the conference under the league of nations sailed last Friday and vii arrive in the United Sttaes Novem Der 3, while information was received that Austrian representatives alsC were on their way.

U. s. Consular at Puebla Re leased After Friends Raise
 5O,OOO; Washington Told
 Soldiers Did Kidnapping
U. s. To Demand
 Return of Money
State Departments Cooper ating With Mexican Auth critics in Investigating the Death of Two Aviators

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Official received from Mexico City indicated that Carranza soldiers were implicated in the Kidnapping of William O. Jen- kins, the American agent at Puebla, who was abducted October 19 and re- leased only after his friends in Pueb- la had paid to the kidnappers $150,- 900 in American gold.
 State department officials have not been officially notified of the implica- tion of Carranza military in the bold est kidnapping of an American in the history of recent years in Mexico, but it is known that they look to the Mexican government to reimburse promptly the friends of Jenkins.
 The American government, it was said today at the department, does not intend to pay any of the ransom money either directly or indirectly. Officials expressed their belief that President Carranza would be glad to repay the friends of the consular agent.
 The department had no news re- garding the release of Jenkins dur ing the day exceut a message from the American embassy in Mexico City saying that Third Secretary of Embassy Hanna reported from Pueb- la that Jenkins had sent word from within the federal lines that he was free and was returning to Puebla.
 Reports regarding Jenkins physi- cal condition and details of his kid mapping have been asked by the de partment and it was announced that information regarding the case would be made public as 500 as received It is feared that he was mistreated by his captors since it was reported unoffcially that he was going to the American hospital for treatment. The department, however, had no infor nation confirming the reports.
 Both the state department and the war department are co-ouerating with Mexican authorities in an investiga tion of the deaths of Lieuts. c. H Connolly and Fredericwk B. Water house, army aviators, whose bodies were found in Lower California. The information at the disposition of the state department, it was said today is not sufficient to warrant the off cial charge that the men were mur dered, although that has been re ported to the department.

Banker Tells of 3
 Year Fight Against
 Pan Motor Co. Head

CHICAGO, Oct. 27. - Alexander Shipley, president of the Clovis Ma tional bank of Clovis, N. M., recited the details of three-year light against S. c. Pandolfo, head of the Pan Motor company, when called as a witness for the government today in the trial fthe officials of the cor poration, who are charged with using the mails to defraud.
 He said the feud began in Clovis, N. M., when he and Pandolfo en- gagged in a public debate on the merits of the Pan Motor company as busi- ness enterprise, in the course Of which the banker denounced the plan of Pandolfo to enter the automobile manufacturing field as stock selling fraud and advised residents of the town not to invest in the shares.
 This was July 19, 1916, and the fight has been continued ever since without interruption. Later, as re- suit of the controversy, Pandolfo filed a $25,0GO islander suit against Shipley and the banker retaliated by begin ming criminal proceedings against the promoter.

New Canton Mayor
 Seeks More Police

CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 27-Exaction from all law enforcing officers of strict compliance with their duties, and above all maintenance of law and order without fear or favor" will be demanded by Acting Mayor H. A. Schrantz, of Canton, of city officials. Announcement of his policy was made in a statement tonight.
 The first official act of the success sor of Mayor Charles E, Poorman, following the latters suspension by Governor Cox for alleged inefficien- cy, was to ask the city council for $5O0O to add extra men to the local police force to maintain order in the strike areas. If extra police are pro vided, the acting mayor said, he would request company officials to keep mill guards on company prop erty.
