MEXICAN GOVERNMENT PROBABLY
WILL AGAIN REFUSE TORELEASE
CONSULAR Agent SAYS Medina
Acting Foreign Minister for Southern Republic in Interview
With United Press Declares His Country Has Not Changed
Its Attitude-Adits Relations Delicate but Asserts Not
So Critical as to Cause Break for Present.

Mexico City, Dec. 3.-The Mexican
government has not changed its atti-
tude in the Jenkins case.
This declaration was made today by
Hilario Medina, acting foreign minis
ter in an exclusive interview with the
United Press.
"Mexico's position is the same today
as stated in it's recent note to the
United States" said Medina. we
outlined the facts then, and they are
unchanged. 1t Is true relations are
delicate, but they are not SO critical
as to cause a break. / do not think
they are beyond the possibility of an
amicable settlement"
MUST RESERVE OPINION.
Medina said he must reserve opinion
regarding the latest American note
(Which reiterated that William o.
Jenkins. American consular agent,
must be released from the Puebla
jaiD. He could not indicate Mexico's
reply, he said. because 1t would only
follow the carefullest deliberation-but
he expressed the belief that the Amer
ican government was misinformed re-
garding the circumstances of the Jen-
kins' case and misunderstood Mexico's
position.
The minister said he wished to
make plain that the Mexican govern
ment IL not accusing Consular Agent
Jenkins. but that the case was one
instituted in the local courts at Puebla
and that the decision rested with them.

CONGRESS WILL
GET BUSY SOON
ON new LAWS
Steps Already Taken to Make
Effective Certain of Presi-
dents Recommendations in
Reconstruction Message.

Washington, Dec. 'S.-Steps were be-
ing taken today to make effective some
of the recommended President Will
son included in his reconstruction
message" to congress.
Much of the necessary legislation is
already pending having been introduc-
et. last session, and caught in the jam
created by the treaty.
Here is the reconstruction program
the president recommended as it
stands today:
The house has passed the Good bill
creating budget bureau under presi-
Dental direction and an independent
auditing system. A resolution elm
mating the seven appropriating COM
mittees of the house and substituting
ONT committee will be considered as
sc on as the senate passes the budget
bill, Representative Good, Iowa, chair
man of the budget committee, said to-
day.
Senator Mccormick, Illinois, has pre-
pared a much different measure for
Introduction in the senate, delegating
budget making to the treasury depart
ment.
LABOR
Senator Sterling, South Dakota, Re-
publican, said today he will soon re-
Introduce his bill for compulsory in
vestigation and mediation Of industrial
disputes. 1t provides federal inves-
tigation board, empowered to step in
after the board of mediation and con-
ciliation has failed. The bill pro-
h bits strikes or lockouts pending the
result of the federal investigation.
UNREST
Action will be sought on the Ster-
ling bill empowering criminal courts to
deal with anarchists, bolshevists and
reds generally, Senator Sterling an
nounced. -
Senator Poindexter has a similar bin
aimed at industrial organization. Sew
eral "Americanization" bills are be-
fore the senate labor committee.
HIGH COST OF LIVING
Bills to regulate cold storage, pack
ers interstate distribution of food, and
extending the Lever food control act
are pending before agricultural COM
mittees of both houses. There is much
opposition to all these measures. A
special senate committee headed by
Townsend, Michigan, appointed last
session to map out suitable legislation
has never reported.
TAXES AND TARIFF
Simplification of income profits tax
cs will be necessary Representative
agreed today. He and members of the
ways and means committee as well as
members of the senate finance commit
tee are opposed to any general taxa
ton or tariff revision now
A hard fight apparently Is coming
on the recommendation for special tar
ifs on dyes and chemicals.
Repeal of the luxury taxes, much
talked of last session, appears unlike

us to go to war; Shields s

Senator Falls special Mexico investi-
eating committee is ready to report
at any time on the advisability of
armed intervention by the United
States, committee members said to-
day.
Fall, just back from the border, had
g long conference with Secretary Ian
sing. Fall said later his committee
can make partial report at any time
for the information of congress, should
it be needed, although much investi-
eating remains to be done.
Meanwhile Mexico had not replied to
I.ansing's second note, requesting re-
lease of William o. jenkins, American
consular agent imprisoned at Puebla.
Another refusal to free Jenkins would
not surprise the state department, it
vas learned. Such refusal, 1t is ex-
pocted, would make the situation suf-
ficiently serious to be called to the
attention of President Wilson and the
cabinet.

UNCONDITIONAL PAROLE TODAY
Action Taken After Repeated Refusal to Issue Complete Par
dor-Devered Into Custody of Brother, HF. A|en Twin
Fais-Served Five Years, One Month Sentence for En-
bezzIement of $4,000.

o. V. Allen. former state treasurer
who confessed the embezzlement of
sums from the state treasury totaling
$4,000 during his term of office and
was sentenced Oct. %, 1914, to serve
fl ON five to 10 years in the state PEN
ito ntiary, was released on parole today
by the state pardon board. The action
of the board was unanimous.
Allen has repeatedly implored state
pardon boards to grant him an abso-
lutte pardon. The present board re-
fused to give him unconditional free
dom, and today released him to the
custody of his brother, H. f. Allen of
Twin Falls. under the usual parole
requirement that he make regular re-
ports as to his conduct and his where
abouts.
CREDIT FOR BEHAVIOR
Although Allen has been In the peni-
tentiary since Oct. %. 1914, and has
actually served but five years and a
little more than month, his excep-
tional record under the state laws
eutitle him TO credit for having sery-
ed years and months.
The prison authorities reported to
the pardon board at its meeting this
morning when Aliens case was up for
consideration, that there was not a
single mark against Aliens record as
q prisoner.
His full maximum sentence of 10
years would have expired Jan. II, 1921,
counting time out for good behavior.

CL0TURE ON THE
CUMMINS BILL
May Be ASKED
Author of Measure, However,
Suggests Waiting Few Days
but Will Circulate Petition if
Debate Lengthy.

Washington. Dec. 3.-Suggestions
were made today to Senator Cummins,
in charge of the railroad bill that he
ask for cloture on that measure. Cum
Minis asked that no move be made for
a few days. The expectation was, how
ever, that should extended debate ap-
pear likely, the cloture petition would
ne circulated and an attempt made to
repeal the action taken during the last
hours of the extra session when the
peace treaty was up
This move is aimed at what is be-
lieved to be a plan of several senator's
to talk indefinitely on the railroad bill
because Of the anti-strike provision 1t
contains.
Republican leaders are trying to get
tho bill through by Christmas. as the
president is expected to return the
roads January 1.
Some senators gained the impression
from President Wilson's message that
he will defer the date of return OF the
roads. He said he would address con-
gress later on this question.

.SECY. TREASURY
!. SAYS DEFICIT
WILL Be LARGE
In Annual Report to Congress
Carter Glass Says Books
Will Show $1,000, 600, 900
Deficit Next June.
BY RALPH +. COUCH


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Dec. 3.-A deficit of
more than $4,000, 100000 will show on
the books of the government on June
80, 1920, the close Of the current fiscal
year, Secretary of the Treasury Glass
estimated in his annual report to con-
gress today.
A deficit of $1,000, ,oOO, 900 looms for
the next fiscal year, Glass also esti-
mated.
All the figures given by Glass are
estimated or forecasts of conditions
which according to knowledge now at
hand will prevail six months and a
wear and a half hence. Congress, how
ever, will use them in revamping tax
laws as suggested in President Will
sons message and in pairing appro-
priations.
Starting with a balance of $1002.-
732,042 in the treasury at the close of
business June 80, 1919, Glass figures
are summarized as follows:
Current fiscal year-Expenditures
s11, 1856. .627,219: next fiscal year, $3,9I3,-
1895; receipts for current fiscal
year, $731S SO06634: next fiscal year,
$500, 35O,0O0 deficit close for current
fiscal year. $3.50, SSS.543; next fiscal
year, $1,5o9,S26,52S.
TABLES CERTAIN ITEMS.
Glass tabled as incomplete all items
of expenditure since congress may ap-
propriate additional millions. The de-
fcits as estimated, therefore may be
increased at a time when many citi-
zens complain of taxes as unJustly
L Ourdensome.
Receipts estimated by Glass are on
the basis of the war tax law under
4 which taxes will be collected for the
/. remainder Of the current fiscal year.
Unless congress makes swift changes.
\ These laws Glass showed in the re-
port enabled this government to meet
more than 4S per cent of its war ex-
penditures out of current receipts.

cor was expected to present to Secre-
tsry Lansing today the evidence sup
Piled by the Mexican government to
support the charge of perjury against
jenkins. This evidence was forward
ed to Boniilas by Hilario Medina, act
ing minister of foreign affairs OF Mex
ico according to reports from Mexico
City.
Information reached Washington to-
day of the kidnapping of Norman Rowe,
British subject, by rebels at Zacate-
cas-, who held him for ransom. The
British vice consul at Zacatecas immc-
diately protested and reported the ABB
duction to the British consul general
at Mexico City. The government at
once effected Rowe's release.
1t is held by many here that British
subjects are accorded far better treat
ment by the Mexican government than
Americans. due principally to the fact
that Great Britain has not recognized
