bassy notified the state department

Agent William o. Jenkins, at Puebla,
Mexico, had been released from GUS

It was announced at the state de-
partment that the advices from the
embassy said Jenkins had been lib
Grated from the penitentiary,
where he had been held pend
ing trial on charges Of giving false
information regarding his abduction
by Mexican bandits in October.
The embassy's dispatch reached
the state department coincident with
the arrival at the White House Of
Senators Fall and Hitchcock, who
were instructed by the senate for
eign relations committee to discuss
with the president pending reso1u-
lions proposing that the president be
requested to sever diplomatic rele-
tions with the Carranza gove3 :lent
Text of Announcement
The announcement by the state de
partment follows:
1.-THE release Of William o. Jen-
kins, the American consular agent
at Puebla, Mexico, was reported late
this afternoon from the American
embassy at Mexico City,
While the release of jenkins serv-
ed to relieve in a measure the ten
sion here on the Mexican situation,
officials have explained the Jenkins
case was only an incident in the
Mexican situation. Senators regard
the charges of Senator Fall that the
Mexican ambassador and consuls in
the United States have spread red"
propaganda as the more serious.
Intervention in Mexico is opposed
by Jenkins, who, in a letter received
today by Representative Davis. of
Tennessee, said sit ought to be pos
sible to solve the Mexican problem
without actual intervention"
Request that Jenkins be released
was renewed by the state department
in a sharp note dispatched last Sun
day, but no reply to this commune
cation has been received.
News of Jenkins release was COM
municated to the White House by
the state department while the presi-
dent was comforting with Senators

rectly to the president and his Wis.,
itors.
The state departments advices
gave no details and first news that
the release was ordered by the judge
at Puebla was contained in Asso-
ciated Press dispatches from Mex
leo City.
President Wilson reserved judg-
ment on the Mexican situation
until he could examine evidence SUBJ
mitted by Senator Fall, of New Mex
leo, on which the senator based his
charges that the Mexican ambassa-
dor and consuIs in the United States
had distributed Red" propaganda in
the United States.
Senators Fall and Hitchcock con-
ferred with the president for nearly
an hour. They said they did not ask
his judgment on the pending resolu-
ton requesting the president to
sever diplomatic relations with Mex
ico but he promised to indicate his
views later, after a study Of Senator
Falls data.
Senator Fall said in reply to ques-
tions that he was entirely satisfied
with the presidents condition and
with his ability to handle the Mex
lean situation"

GO. P. FEARFUL
OF DEMOCRATIC
SENATE CONTROL

WASHINGTON, Dec. GA chance
that the Democratic party may regain
control of the senate at next years
election is one Of the possibilities
to be considered by the Republican
national committee when it meets
here next Wednesday.
Republicans now have a bare ma
jority of two votes so that a loss
Of one seat would give both parties
equal strength. Democratic senators
are hopeful that they will hold their
be voted on next fall, and that they
will add the seats now held by Sem
ators Spencer, of Missouri, and Hard
ing of Ohio, to the list. Republicans,
however, assert there is no chance of
losing their majority and that if any
seats are lost to the Democrats,
enough others will be gained to Off
set them.
The possibility that Senator New
berry, of Michigan, who is now I'M
der indictment for alleged election
fraud, may be ousted and his seat
taken by Henry Ford, Democrat, also
gives hope to a few of the minority
party.
Senator Spencer is the first Re-
publican to be elected to the senate
by Missouri for years and Demo-
Gratis in that state are said to be
planning a desperate effort to re-
cover the seat. Ex-Speaker Champ
Clark, Governor Gardner, Assistant
Secretary of State Long, and David
r. Francis, former ambassador 70
Russia, are mentioned among pos
sible Democratic nominees to op-
pose Senator Spencer in case he is
renominated.
Ohio now has one Democratic SEN
ator, Atlee Pomerene. 1t was said
here that Warren G.. Harding, the
present Republican senator from that
state would have good chance should
he run again, but the expectation is
that he will be a candidate for the
presidential nomination and should
he be successful he would, Of course,
be eliminated from the senatorial
race. Who would be the likely Re-
publican nominee in this event was
not known here.
Republicans cannot see any posi-
bility Of losing their control of the
senate, provided they devote suf-
ficient attention to doubtful states.
Among the states they are hopeful
of gaining senate seats in are Ore
gon, South Dakota, California, Mary
land and Colorado.
Elections will be held for the fol-
lowing Republican senate seats next
year: Brandegee, Connecticut; Cum
Minis, Iowa; Curtis, Kansas; Dflling-
ham, Vermont; Gronna, North Da-
liota; Harding, Ohio; Jones, Wash
ington; Lenroot, Wisconsin; Moses,
New Hampshire; Penrose, Pennsyl-
vania; Sherman, Illinois; Smoot,
Utah; Spencer, Missouri; Wadsworth,
New York, and Watson, Indiana.
Seats now held by the following
Democratic senators must also be
filled: Beckham, Kentucky; Cham
berlain, Oregon; Fletcher, Florida;
Gay, Louisiana; Gore, Oklahoma;
Henderson, Nevada; Johnson, South
Dakota; Kirby, Arkansas; Nugent,
Idaho; Overman North Carolina;
Phelan, California;; Smith, Arizona;
Smith, Georgia.; Smith, Maryland;

RADIO, and Underwood, Alabama.

in the case Of the state vesus Sam G.
