EXPECT REPLY

Carranza Will Probably Say That

Closed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The state
department expected to receive today
the Mexican reply to the last Ameri-
can note calling for release trom
Puebla penitentiary of Consular
Agent VIM o. jenkins.
Officials believe the trend of the
reply will be that since jenkins had
been released on bail, there is no
further cause for friction between
the two governments. The United
States does not agree with this view.
they say.
Secretary Lansing is expected to
make public strong condemnation
of Carranza's methods If this govern
ment's investigation confirms reports
that Mexico arranged for jenkins
bail so as TO make 1t appear that
Carranza won in his contention that
the consular agent could only be
freed on payment of bail. But under
these circumstances the Jenkins
issue is not expected to be pushed
further.
The last American note was with
held from publication In the Mexican
press by order of Carranza, accord
ing to advices here, apparently be-
cause of Lansing's strong censure of
the government in connection with
the Jenkins case.

HAMMONTON, N. j.. Dec 8. -
Charles S. White, 20, wealthy florist
was in jail at Mays Landing today
formally charged with the murder OF
Billy Dansey, three year old perfect
baby" who disappeared October s, and
whose skeleton was found in swamp
three miles from his home two weeks
ago With White was his house
keeper, Mrs Edith l.. Jones, 40,
charged with being an accessory after
the fact.
They were arrested by county detec-
tives late yesterday. The arrests were
made quietly.
The officers today refused to re
veal what evidence led to the sen
sational arrests. They intimated
however. that other arrests would
follow and predicted "sensationa!
disclosures"
The Whites are neighbors Of The
Danseys and Charley White, four
year old son of the man under arrest,
was an inseparable companion Of
Billy. 1t was from Whites dahlia
field that Billy disappeared.
The arrests were made quietly.
White and Mrs. Jones were arrafgned
here and then hurried TO Mays Land
ing, thirteen miles away, without any
OF the citizens being aware Of the
newest development in the Dansoy
mystery. 1t was feared the prisoners
might be the victims of mob VIC
lence The jail at Mays Landing
was heavily guarded today.
While the nation wide search for
supposed kidnappers of Billy Dansey
was at it's height, the generally ac-
cepted theory was that the boy had
been mistaken for Charley White.
The White boys grandfather, Ed
ward H. White, is wealthy and also
made many political enemies, princi-
pally among the Italian inhabitants
while holding various city offices.
Both the White boys father and
grandfather led several posses in
search of Billy.
Developments believed to have had
some connection with the arrests in
cluded the newest theory that the
skeleton in the swamp was carried
there several days after Billys
death.
Neither of the Dansey boys par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Hercules Dansey,
had been made aware of the arrests
early today.

HAMMONTON, Dec. 9.-Little

pearance and death OF the little boy

neighbors are under arrest.

Several days before Billy dfsap-

been shot. A bullet wound was found
in his leg. The theory has been ad-

shooting at the dog, might have hit
the baby with fatal results.

that White was the last person who
said he saw Billy Dansey alive, de-
clared that he is confident the officers
have solved the mystery OF the baby's
death. He refused, however, to tell
the details OF their case, but added
that the details will be sensational.

optimism regarding the outcome Of

the strike call was threatened
That the men will start back to
the mines this week ana normal pro-
|duction of coal will be reached next
week, was the confident expectation
|m many of the miners leaders.
Although only few or the highest
officials were acquainted with the
terms Of the presidents proposal,
hhey took the position that what's
good enough for Lewis and Green IS
good enough for Us"
Contents of the proposal were care
fully guarded and will be kept secret
lat least until the meeting which
"opens at two p. m. today.
However, the best Information OBJ
tainable here regarding the proposal
was that it provides:
For the miners returning to
work at once at an increase in
wages Of IA percent; for appoint
ment of commission to investi-
gate the entire coal industry and
report within a specified time re-
garding wages, hours and condi-
tions of work OF miners. The
commission. 1t was reported, Will
also go into the operators side,
Investigating reports of huge
profits and will have power to
recommend readjustments in
prices.
The proposal is understood to be
IN the form OF an appeal from Presi-
dent Wilson to the miners, asking
them to return to work on the basis
outlined, TO save the nation from in
dustrial ruin.
