EXPECT MEXICO
TO ACT SOON
IN RELEASING JENKINS, consul
LAR AGENT, UPON DEMAND
OF UNITED STATES.
Note Dispatched to the Carranza Gov
ernment Was One of the Sharpest
Ever Sent to Mexico-No Report
From Jenkins Yet Received.

Washington.-Stat Department Of
fcials still awaited reply to the note
warning the Mexican Government that
further molestation of William o. Jen-
kins, American Consular Agent at Pu-
ebla, who has been arrested twice in
connection with his recent abduction
by bandits, seriously would affect the
relations between the United States
and Mexico.
While the text of the American Gov
! ernment's communication has not been
made public, the summary published by
the State Department indicated that
it was one Of the sharpest ever sent to
the Carranza Government. 1t is said
the United States was surprised and
incensed" to learn of the reimprison-
ment of jenkins and demanded his i'm
mediate release.
So far as was made known no re-
port regarding Jenkins reached the de-
partment from the Embassy at Mex
leo City, but officials believed that il
he had not been released he soon

partment's demand.
Discussing the general Mexican sit
uation State Department officers re-
vealed that before the world war the
Army General Staff estimated that
complete intervention in Mexico by the
American Government would require
100000 men, operating over period
of three years. Present estimates were
not made available, but it is known
that army officials contend that the
force necessary at this time would be
much less because of the increased
army equipment, such as motorized
transport, artillery and airplanes.
During the day the department made
public a complete report from Jenkins
on his capture and his subsequent
treatment in a hospital at Puebla
after his friends had agreed to pay
S15O,000 in gold for his ransom,
pledging their lives that the INSTALL
ments would be forthcoming. 1t was
under date of November z, and ampli-
fed the account that Jenkins wrote to
Representative E. L. Davis, Democrat,
of Tennessee, which Davis made
public.

Prisoners Eiuht Fire.

Ossinning, N. Y.-Three buildings in
the Sing Sing Prison yard were de-
stroyed by a fire believed to be of in
cendiary origin. The loss is estimated
at more than 100000. The destroyed
buildings include a storehouse, foundry
and blacksmith shop. The burned
buildings were located some distance
away from the prison itself. Most OF
the prisoners were in the yard when
the fire broke out, but there was no
disorder, many of the inmates assist
ing in fighting the flames.

OFFER MINERS INCREASE
"Hands- Off" Policy Is Continued BY
Fuel Administrator n. A.
Garfield.

gton.-Though operators and
miners of the central competitive
fields remained deadlOcked in their ne
gotiations for a new wage-scale con-
tract, prospects for an agreement thai
would settle the coal strike are COLI
sidered to be brighter than at any time
since the strike was called
The operators offered to the miners
representatives a fiat increase OF ID
cents a ton on coal mined and ~ per
cent increase for day workers. John
l.. Lewis, Acting President of the Nine
Workers of America, outWardly stamp
ed the concession as wholly made
quate, but both sides plainly took the
offer as a "breaking of the ice" and
an opening for trading.
Meanwhile the Government contin-
ued "hands-off" policy, and Fuel Adj
ministrator III. A. Garfield took no
steps openly to ration or restrict coal
consumption.
President Lewis, of the Mine Work
ers, after the close of the long SeS-
sion, said he considered that the OPP
orators proposal had contributed
nothing to the settlement of the diff
culties," but at the same time indi-
Gated that miners were preparing to
come down a degree in their demands
for six-hour day and sixty per cent
increase
Thomas J. Brewster, Chairman Of
the Operators Scale Committee, re-
fused to discuss the proceedings, but
the compromise offer made by the OPP
orators was outlined more fully by
his associates.
Proposed wage advances are the
absolute maximum to be offered, S. w.
Guthrie, member of the operators
Wage Scale Committee, representing
Western Pennsylvania, and George B.
Harrington, of Illinois, spokesman for
the operators, said. Failure on the
part of the miners to accept the propo-
sition would mean mediation by the
Government, Guthrie said.
They estimated that the price of
coal at the time it leaves the mines
would be increased from 80 to 40 cents
ton as a result of the offered ad-
vances, but declined to speculate as to
how much might be added by middle
men before the coal reached the con-
sumner.

Quaker City Police.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Discovery OF a
'Red" plot to Stay officials with explo-
sive Christmas mail packages was
announced by Superintendent of Po-
lice James Robinson. Information of
the plot, which he considers to be re-
liable, indicates it is nationwide and
directed against federal, state and city
authorities who took part in the ma
tional roundup of radicals planning
the overthrow of the Government.
Immediate steps were taken to pre-
pare federal investigators, postal au-

DECIDE ON PACT
TALK OF TRANSFERRING CON-
TRovERsY OVER TREATY TO
THE 1920 ELECTION.
White House Announcement States
President Wilson Will Have Moth
ing to Say Until He Sends His Mes
sage to Congress December list.

Washington.-Com efforts to
raitfy the peace treaty were thrown
into the back ground by developments
strengthening the possibility that the
whole controversy might be trans
ferred to the political arena for a de-
cision by the voters in 1920.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, chair
man of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee and Republican leader of the
Senate, declared in a statement that
there was mo room for further COM
promise" and urged that the reserVa-
lions of the Senate majority be car
ried into the campaign.
There was no formal expression to
determine whether a like stand would
be taken ultimately by President Will
son and the Administration Senators.
1t developed that the President S
Senate supporters had no definite as
surance as yet that he would reopen
the subject for compromise by result
hitting the treaty when the new ses-
sion of Congress begins December l.
The only expression of the Pres1-
dents intention was a White House
announcement early in the day that
he would have nothing to say until he
sent his message to Congress at the
beginning of the new session on De
cember 1. At that time, it was said,
he would go into the treaty situation.
Senator Oscar w. Underwood, of Ala
bama, prominently mentioned for the
Democratic leadership in the next ses-
sion. talked over the outlook with
Secretary Tumulty, but did not see
the President.

PLACE GOVERNMENT
AGAIN IN CONTROL
SPEED ORDERED IN CAPITAL TO
GUARANTEE SHARE IN Gu
BAN SUGAR CROP.
Wholesale Price Limit To Be Twelve
80 Cents - Hoover's Former Power
Awarded To Palmer-Soft DRINK
and Candy Restriction Planned.

WASHINGTON. - President Wilson
placed the Government again in con-
troll of the nations food supply by
transferring the authority OF Food
Administrator to Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer. Revival of the war
time functions of Administrator Her.
bert C. Hoover resulted directly from
Government efforts to avert famine
in sugar. The powers delegated TO
the head of the Department of Justice,
however, will be used also to help put
down the mounting cost of living. For
the present the Attorney General Will
not put into operation all of the ma
chinery permitted under the Executive
order signed by the President, but
should conditions arise to make 1t nee
essary the full pressure of all the
broad power vested in him will be ex-
erted to meet them.
Mr.. Palmer's staff will begin imme-
diately to build UP a sugar-distributlng
system, which will allocate all sugar
stocks in the country. 1t will provide
an equitable system of distributing
supplies and will defeat concentration
of boarding, officials said. Plans, ten
tatively decided, provide for increasing
the price of all sugar, except the Louis
lana crop, for which price of II cents
already has been fixed, to IL cents a
| pound wholesale. Through this in
crease new sources of supply are eX-
pected to be opened. With assurance
that a fair margin of profit, said to be
about $1.54 a hundred pounds, would
be allowed, sugar refiners are ready
TO enter Cuban markets and purchase
all available stocks, it was stated
Thus officials believe, the increased
price will avert a shortage which
| threatens to become a famine during
the next 60 days. Immediate action
also is contemplated in curtajling the
consumption of sugar by manufactur-
ers whose products are not regarded
as essential food.
This will apply particularly to soft
drink dealers and candy manufacture
ers. Abnormal increase Of sales OF
these articles and the consequent
heavy drain OH the sugar supplies is
traceable, official declared, to the en-
forcement of prohibition. While it has
not been determined definitely, reduc-
ton in sugar supplies to these classes
of trade probably will be 60 per cent.
Officials indicated that if the eXigen-
cfes of the situation demanded they
would reduce the allowance to soft
drinks and candy plants to 20 per cent
of their normal requirements. Ar
rangements have been completed, sub
ject to changing conditions of the SUI
gar situation, whereby beet and cane
sugar refners will enter the Cuban
markets Immediately. The department
however, will exact a signed agree
ment with firms entering that trade to
consign all of their purchases to this
country.
