Both Mines and Operators To
Be Subjects of Grand Jury
Investigation
SIX LEADERS APPEAR
Disclosures Indicate Operators As
Well As Miners In Conspiracy to
Violate Lever Law Evi.
dence Collected.

! Indianapolis, md, Dec 5.-Upon
the heels of it's institution of contempt
proceedings against officials of the
United Mine Workers of America, the
government has taken steps to broad
en- the scope of it's prosecutions in
connection with the strike of coal
miners, and will investigate alleged
violations of the Lever fuel control
act and the Sherman antitrust law, by
miners, operators and others.
Judge A. B. Anderson, United States
district court, ordered a special ses-
sion of the federal grand jury here
and Immediately afterward a state
ment was given out by L. Ert Slack,
United States district attorney, and
Dan w. Simms, special district at
torney, who is aiding in the injunction
proceedings, declaring that the time
has arrived to determine whether
this is a government Of law or a group
Of men,"
Six officials of the United Mine
Workers of America, who were
charged with criminal contempt for
alleged violation of the federal courts
injunction against the strike, appeared
at the federal building and furnished
bonds of $4,000 each for their ap-
.pearance in court
: 1t was stated that determination to
begin the grand jury investigation
came as a result of disclosures in the
proceedings against the miners lead
ers, which tended to show that the
coal operators, as we'll as the miners,
were in conspiracy to violate the
Lever law. Agents of the Department
of Justice two weeks ago started an
investigation of alleged violation of
the Sherman antitrust law by operat-
ors and the evidence collected by
them has been added to that secured
in previous Investigations of the mi
ners.

Declines to Comply With U. S.
Demand For Release of
Consular Agent.
MAY SEND uLT|MATuM
Washington Makes 1t Clear That No
Dangerous Crisis Exists and
Case Is Expected to Be
Settled Peacefully.

Washington, Nov. 28.-Mexico's
note refusing to comply with the state
departments recent demand for the
release of William o. Jenkins, the
American consular agent imprisoned
at Puebla on charge that he con-
nived with the bandits who kidnapped
and held him for ransom, has been re-
ceived in Washington.
Americas next step in the ex-
change of notes with Mexico probably
will be a demand that the Carranza
government to supply more complete
details of the charges against Jenkins
and permit frsthand investigation by
an American representative, it was
learned at the state department.
May Be Sent UItimatum.
The government, it is understood,
desires to have M. E. Hanna of the
American embassy in Mexico City go
to Puebla and personally review the
entire matter, making secret report
to the state department, which would
be checked up with the detailed report
the Mexicans will be asked to furnish
Meanwhile, it was suggested this
government would advise Jenkins to
take advantage of the Mexican offer to
set him free on bail.
If the Mexican report does not agre-
with Hanna's, or if the Mexicans re-
fuse to supply more details, the United
States may send fiat ultimatum to
Carranza ordering Jenkins release. In
the meantime, however, it was made
clear tnat no dangerous crisis exists
and that the entire situation is ex-
pected to be settled peacefully.
Declares Demand Unjust.
The Mexican note, which was in re-
ply to a demand by the American
state department, declared the case
was in the hands of the local authori-
ties and that the constitution forbids
the president to interfere in the affairs
of the various states.

Pay No Attention To Rumors

Washington, Dec. 5.-Reports that
resolution asking for official informa-

shortly were regarded at the White
House as anti-administration propa-

could be found who would admit con-
templating such action. The White
House is aware that rumors about
Wilson's illness are springing m
again. Attaches take the attitude
that to deny them would be to attach

FARMERS ROSE TO EMERGENCY
What They Did to Win the War and
Save World from Starvation.

Washington, Dec. 6.-1n his annual
report just issued Secretary OF Agri-
culture Houston tells in a brief way
how the farmers of America helped to
win the war and are saving the world
from starvation by marvelously in
creased production of foods.ulfs. He
says the wheat crop for 1919 is esti-
mated at million bushels over that
of 1918 and that of corn 300,000,000
bushels over the last years. In meat
production, also. the record figure OF
last year will be exceeded, and the
same is probably true of milk, eggs
and poultry. Crop yields per acre,
says Mr.. Houston, show an upward
tenaency, due largely to better meth
DDS and better machinery.
