JENKINS IS FREED,
EMBASSY REPORTS
STORIES CONFLICT AS TO CON
DlTioNs SURROUNDING RE-
LEASE OF YANK CONSUL

Washington, Dec. 6. = William o.
Jenkins, American consular agent, i'm
pris0ned at Puebla. Mexico, was re-
leased Thursday night.
The American embassy in Mexico
City reported his release in an official
dispatch received by the state depart
ment yesterday afternoon and almost
at the same time news dispatches were
received from Mexico City which said
check for $500 had been deposited
with the civil authorities at Puebla.
This difference in the two reports
seemed to raise some doubt as TO
whether Jenkins was released uncon-
ditionally on the diplomatic represen-
tations of the United States govern
ment or whether he had been released
on bail, as the Mexican authorities
have eontended he could.
The state department, however,
took the view that Jenkins had been
released on its diplomatic representa-
tions, and issued this statement:
'.The release Off Consular Agent |
Jenkins was brought about by urgent |
representations made by |
this government and the resulting in |
vestigation made by General Pablo
Gonzales, who was sent to Puebla by
the Mexican government to investi- |
gate the facts in the case. The inves-
cations by General Gonzales who was
1t Puebla on December 3, had then
substantiated the position
aiken by this government on behalf OF
Jenkins.
1.-TWO poems from Santa Lucia ad-
nitted to General Gonzales that they
iad made declarations against Jen-
Tins under threat of execution. Other
Witnesses testified that they had been
to make false statements
Igainst Jenkins under duress. One
witness was threatened with a pistol.
mother suspended by rope and still
mother beaten until he made his
eclaration against Jenkins
These facts are shown in the court

Germs whiskeys and wines, Federal
Judge Faris not only questioned Sc
riously the constitutionality of this
act, but went further and questioned
the constittuionality of the wartime
prohibition act itself as it now OPP
crates.
Judge Faris in his decision devoted
much space to the question of fact as
to whether the war is in fact over and
whether rehabilitation has. in fact,
occurred. I'm this connection he quot
ed the presidents veto message on
the Volstead bill, in which the presr-
dent said the objects of the wartime
prohibition measure had been "satts-
fled in the rehabilitation Of the army
and navy"
Judge Faris calls attention in his
decision TO the fact that In time OF
war the government necessarily must
take on the cloak of autocracy. but |
"when the menace ceases to threaten, |
when the war is over, the reign of |
autocracy should cease and democracy |
ought to and must beat back to its
moorings if free govern
ment under the law is to endure among
men,
AS soon as Judge Faris' decision be-
came known, thousands of persons
swarmed to saloons for whiskey, and it
was estimated that many thousands of
gallons were sold. In two instances

mittee investigating the Mexican stu

gagged in the spreading of bolshevist
