 AGAINST JENKINS
Governor of Puebla Says American Consul Was in Company of
 Federico COrloya.

Mexico City, Dec. 30.-Reiteration of the charge that w. o.

Jenkins says he was being held by the outlaw was contained in a telegram from the governor of Puebla given out by the Interior de- partment today. s
 Government witnesses, it is said, have 'proved'' that Friendly rela- tions' existed between MT. Jenkins and his alleged captor while they were in the villages of Santa Maria and San Bernabe. MT. Jenkins it is declared. was not blindfolded and was aware of the loeation of his place where he was hidden, in spite of Mir Jenkins claims to the contrary.

PREPARE METHOD FOR
 COAL INVESTIGATION
Presidents Commission Then Adj0urns-Public Hear
 ing January 12.

Washington, Dec. 31.-After pre- pairing the way for beginning it's in- vestigation into the soft coal indus try the presidents commission today adjourned it's session.. Rem brandt Peale, representing the operators and CTS, left for their homes 10 spend the holidays. btst Herrr sT4s sAssssars es.. representing the public. remained kto guide the preliminary work
 The staff of assistants already had
 begun assembling statistical data for
 use in the inquiry but public hearings will not begin until January 12.
 Tentatively the commission has de-
 cided not to assemble its facts by the
 process of calling coal miners and
 coal operators in person to testify at
 hearings. and it also has decided not
 to visit the principal coal mining cen ters. Instead it will send out formal inquiries to representative coal min ing concerns in all the districts of the country asking for cost sheets covering operations in 1919. These will be analysed with the assistance of the federal trade commission and other governmental bodies and min- ing engineers. When this data has all been assembled the representatives of the miners and of the operators in each field will be called in to present their arguments in open hearings. The central competitive district will be the first field to be dealt with but the other fields over the country will be dealt with in like manner so that the commissions decision will be made in the light of a national rather than a 1 sectional study of the facts.
 Commissioners Peale and White 1 will return after New Years to con- l tinue their handling of the details 1 with MT. Robinson.

GOV. COOLIDGE NOT
 IN THE 1920 RACE
Massachusetts Chief Executive De- cltnes Nomina tions Naming Him
 for Vice President.

Boston. Dec. 31.-Letters in which candidate for the republican nomina- tion for vice president at the March primary elections in South Dakota were made public at the state house today.
 The first letter was sent to Secretary of State Burkhart of South Dakota on December 10, after Governor Coolidge had been notified that the republican state convention in South Dakota had proposed his name for vice president. It said in part:
 Tt was entirely unsuspected by me that my name should have been pre- sented to your governor. It is not, however, my desire to appear as a candidate for the office of vice presi- dent of the United States. I shall not therefore make the declaration which your laws require from a candidate. This in no way detracts from my deep appreciation of the honor that has been given me or from my pleasure at having such an expression of confi- dence from the people of South Da- kota."
 The second letter, written yesterday to Secretary Burkhart in confirmation of a telegram to the same effect, said ::
 "As heretofore explained, I am deeply appreciative of4the very great honor that my fellow Americans have extended to me in your state by their action but I do not wish to have my name appear on your ballot as a can- didate for this office''
