DEMANDS ARE SENT
TO MEXICAN RULER
Sharp Note Insists on Release
of Consular Agent
Jenkins.
MORE CHARGES ARE ADDED
Excelsior Asserts That American
Aided Rebel Forces and
Collusion Existed.
MORE CHARGES ARE ADDED
TBy Associated Press.1

WASHINGTON. Nov 23.-The answer
or the Mexican government to the
sharp note demanding the immediate
release OF William Q. jenkins. Amer
lean consular agent at Puebla, prob
ably will be delivered TO the State De-
partment tomorrow.
a long dispatch bearing on the Jen-
kins case. it was learned tonight, has
been received at the Mexican embassy
and was being dccodcd today for pre-
sentstion to the government
While authoritative Information as
TO the attitude OF the Mexican gov
ernment was lacking, all Indications
here pointed TO n technical refusal to
ordcr the release of Jenkins. Since
ms arrest, it was learned. additional
charges against the American official
nave been formulated, based upon al
legged evidence that he actively assisted
persons in rebclling against the Car
rama government. Payment OF large
sum of money to the rebels which was
used by them 10 purchase munitions
and acting in collusion with rebel lead
crs arc said 10 be specific counts" in
the new indictments.
Mexican Paper Gives Hint.
What was regarded as him; of
MeNico's position i'll the Jenkins case
was noted in an article published by
the Mexican newspaper Excelsior, a
copy OF which reached Washington to-
day. The paper stated specifically that
jenkins second arrest was based upon
charges that he actively assisted the
rebels.
The certain sum Of money" which
Jenkins is accused of delivering to the
rebels consisted OF the 100000 pesos
he was compelled TO pay as ransom TO
, Federico CordoYa,1-thc- rebel whnse
forces kidnapped him. The collusion
charge is based upon the fact that Jen-
kins agreed TO pay the rebel leader the
ransom in order to save his life and
gain his liberty.
Given Secret Trial.
Contrary to custom in Mexican
courts the proceedings in the Jenkins
case on the occasion of his second ar
rest were marked with the utmost Sc
crecy. Jenkins was summoned to court.
where he was placed under arrest. His
plea for bail was refused by Judge
Gonzales Franco on account of the
gravity of the offense.' In every par
ticular tho proceedings were secret and
court attaches were warned that they
would be dismissed and otherwise pun
ishcd if any facts relating to the case
reached the public.
Officials here regard the nature of
the new charges against Jenkins as an
effort on the part of the Mexican gov
ernment to take the case out of the
hands of the Puebia State authorities
as both charges are of crimes against
the Federal government.

IDAHO LANDS

Newspapers throughout the state
are constantly recording sales of
improved lands in Idaho at prices
which bring the sellers profit for
the years of labor which they have
put in developing these acreages.
These transactions indicate two
prominent facts: That homeseek-
ers are turning in increasing num-
bers to the advantages offered in
Idaho, and that Idaho lands are
looked upon as gilt-edge invest
ments.
Developed lands form an al
most certain source of return on
money invested where knowledge
of business and careful attention
contribute their share toward the
result. Placing undeveloped areas
in the list of wealth producers al
so forms field where ultimate re-
turn will come for the labor in
volved.
Some speak of the coming per-
iod as an era of a possible boom
in real estate and the real estate
values. That is not true unless
the people allow themselves to be
carried away by land speculation
and then the movement might
eventually react to a period of
depression involving readjust-
ment to normal conditions. So
long as the movement, as it is.
now, continues to be a natural
one, based upon concrete evidence
of land values as to productive
ness and returns from crops, Idaho
will benefit.

THE WILD AND WOOLLY

But here is the police court grist

Waiter waylaid by two girls who

Ex-pugilist held without bail for
murder of another pugilist in a

Streetcar motorman arrested
for attacking helpless drunken
man on street car at night.
Private, who was gassed, wound
ed and shelishocked in battle
overseas, stabbed as result of old
feud.
Young man shot in back by
policeman. Young man charged
with robbery.A Three companions
arrested.
Marine fireman held without
bail for robbery.
Sixteen-year-old boy in Tombs,
charged with beating old man to
death.
Congressman'S private secretary
in serious condition in hospital.
He gave two men a lift in his
automobile and was later slugged,
dumped out on the street and the
machine stolen.
Minor items of petit larceny,

MEXICO STRIVING ID
 ADJUST AFFAIRS WITH J. $. SAYS CABRERA
fRenuhIIcan A. P. Leased Wlrel

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 24.-The high est Mexican government officials are making a close study of the principal points at issue between the Mexican and American governments with the view of reaching arrangements satis- factory to the United States without impairment of Mexican national in terests and Mexican sovereignty ac cording to declarations made Saturday by Luis Cabrera, secretary of the treas ury. and one of the leading members of the cabinet
 These points are petroleum legisla- ton, indemnifications, frontier vigil ance and guarantees for the safety of foreigners and foreign interests in Mexico. Within three or four days, ac- cording to Senor Cabrera, government officials will begin giving out to the Mexican press statements regarding the government standpoint on the questions at issue and the means which Mexico can rightfully adopt to meet foreign governmental representations. The declarations of the secretary are somewhat of an indirect reply to critics of the administration. Senor Cabrera stated that Mexico's obligations could be paid in full with S500,000,000. He stated the total debts could be given roughly as follows:
 Damage resulting from the Madero and Constitutionalist revolutions, S6,- 100000 pesos; indemnifications to for eign interests for the use of railway and other public utilities, 100000 900 pesos; the remainder of 1000, 900, 900 pesos. or half a billion dollars, is divid- ed between the redemption of paper money, interest unpaid on the foreign debt and the amount due banks

Diekman Orders witbdrawal

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-With- drawal of the American punitive ex- petition from Mexico was ordered by Major General Diekman. commander of the southern department, it was indicated today by Secretary Baker There has been belief in official circles at the war department through out all of the day that the withdrawal was imminent, but Secretary Baker said tonight he was without official information as to the return across the border.
 The orders received by General Diekman from the department itis known. were so explicit that instrdc- tions from Washington were not need ed to order the withdrawal The bor- der commander was to organize a force capable of being moved swiftly to the scene of the detention of Lieutenanfs Davis and Peterson, the two army ayi- ators held for ransom by bandits; to capture or destroy the band and tc clean upp thoroughly the section in which this and other isolated groups of bandits have been operating. It was presumed by officials that General. Dickman either considered these in- structions to have been carried out Or that the expedition was unable to pick up further hot trails.'
 The decision to withdraw the expe- dition, it was said officially, was who'll ly military one and was entirely out side of diplomatic questions raised through filing of a protest at the state department by Mexican Ambassador RonillaS
