II had been during the previous two
weeks that Ranger had come Up TO
the 10000 barrels Of daily output. thus
reaching the mark set by Burkburnett
quoted said that Wichita Falls dis
trict promises TO increase its output
in the next few months. as deep tests
are being made IN every part Of the

The south Texas production is Civ

Continuing. the Reporter said there
had been a falling off in Burkburnett
section production during the previ-
GUS two weeks. but as there were
more than ESQ wells in the field which
should become producers in the next
six weeks, a big increase IN produc-
ton can be looked for.

JENKINS REMAINS IN MEX
ICAN PRISON.

Washington, Dec. with
much impotence the State Depar1-
ment today awaited word from
Mexico City of the release of Con
sular Agent jenkins from the
penitentiary at Puebla. in re-
spouse to this governments see
ond sharp note to Carranza.
The department tonight had
not been advised Of the note s de-
livery, but officials said it prob
ably was presented during the
day, and that they expected
prompt action by the Carranza
administration in ecceding to the
request of the United States.
The note was forwarded early
Sunday and a delayed dispatch
from the Mexican capital said tn,
Mexican foreign office announced
late last night that it had not
been received. Errors in cable
transmission were said to have de.
layed it's presentation.
A new sidelight on the general
Mexican kidnapping situation was
given today in report Of the
recent capture of Norman Rowe,
"a British subject. by rebels at
Zacatecas, who held him for ran
som. but who quickly released him
at the instance of the Carranza
administration.
The British vice-consul at
Zacatecas, promptly notified the
Mexican authorities and reported
the kidnapping to the British cor
sul general at Mexico City. Rep
reservations were made quickly to
the Mexican government, and
within a few hours the machin-
erv including the military, was
seeking to rescue Rowe.
The KIDNAPPING took place at
Fresnillo, a large mining camp
near Zacatecas, and in reporting
the liberation and return Of Rowe
to Fresnillo the vice consul said:
"The government troops and
the state authorities exercised all
DILIGENCE in effecting the liberty
of Rowe. and as a mere matter Of
justice this should be stated. as
everything is due to the efficacy

anti-American, and whose broth
er is governor of the state Of

naping took place, has taken an
active part in the Mexican gov
ernment's prosecution against the
case of Jenkins. according to adj
vices received here today. In q
statement prepared for the press
Of Mexico City, Cabrera said that
jenkins might be liberated on
bond, but that the American gov
eminent "now prefers to set him
free by means of threats. !"
cit is inexplicable," Cabrera
was quoted as saying, "that the
American government should
have requested the immediate re-
lease Of Jenkins, even before the
court decision was rendered. The
United States government is seek
ing to have jenkins declared in
nocent even before the investiga-
tons of the case are completed.

with being a participant in the di.
