SAY MEXICO COURTS TROUBLE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-Some of ficials expressed belief today that the Mexican governments delay in replying to the American note, sent more than a week ago, demanding release of Wm. o. Jenkins, consular agent at Puebla, was part of deli berate plan to still further antagon- ize the United States.
 This belief was based largely upon official information from Mexico City that officials there were en- deavoring to spread the report that this country was on the verge of a revolution and that by holding up the reply Mexicans could offer sub stantial aid to the ''revolutionists."
 Mexican agents in the United States. the advices said, had been sending home highly colored and widely exaggerated reports concern ing domestic conditions, the steel

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Nov 26-An- nouncement was made late today by State Auditor Jesse L. Boyce that he had restored to the use of the na- tional guard of Arizona the sum of $91, ,533.14, following advices from the office of States Attorney General Wiley E. Jones.
 E. J. K Mcbride, assistant attor- ner general, ruled that the unused appropriations by the 1915 and 1917 legislatures for armories and arsen- als continued available, as no time limit had been made for the return of unused amounts to the general fund
 The original appropriations amount ed to about $93,OO0 small amount thereof being used for repairing cer- tain buildings of the national. guard. The remaining amount, $91. .533.14, is at the disposition of Adjutant Gen. eral Walter s. Ingalls, and his gen eral staff that does not exist.

 There was no report from the em- bassy at the Mexican capital to add anything to those received hereto fore, all of which showed that Jen- kins was still held in the peniten- tiary on charges of having been i'm plicated with the bandits who took $150,000 from his after he had been kidnapped. One dispatch from Mex ico City said the Mexican senate had decided to ask President Carranza for full information on the Jenkins case. and this was taken to mean that no reply might be expected un- til the senate had given it some con sideration. The principal effect here of Mexico's failure to answer prompt ly the American demands has been to make the already strained rela- tions little more strained.

He maintained that when President Will son vetoed the Volstead war time prohibition enforcement bill October 2S, the president declared the army and navy forces demobilized. Judge Foster formerly held that 275 beer was non-intoxicating.
 Above the enthusiasm of liquor dealers, however, loomed the varn- ing of the United States district st- torney and the internal revenue col lector that a strict record was being kept of liquor selling and that should the supreme court of the United States declare the war time prohibit tion act constitutional prosecutions would be instituted.

 In the midst of a sharp cross fire of questions, Frank Harrington, pres ident of the Illinois district of United Mine Workers, asked Dr. Garfield if the miners would be regarded as outlaws" if they did not return to work.
 The government never has at tempted to compel men to work against their will, but every protec- tion will be offered miners willing to return to the mines, Dr. Garfield replied.
 Harrington replied that he did not think this would be necessary for miners in Illinois, as he did not be- lieve there were any in that state who would care to return under the new wage conditions.
