SAY PRESIDENT KNOWS
OF MEXICAN SITUATION
Officials About Executive Refuse
To Argue Concerning Author
ship of Message.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs,
I. N. 8. Sta6 Correananaenf

There Is every reason to believe that
President Wilson Is not only in touch
with the Mexican situation, but ap-
proves of every step taken by Secre-
tary of State Robert Lansing.
Rumors to the contrary have been
in circulation here for the past sew
eral days and certain Senators and
Congressman have stated IL as their
belief that the rumors were true. And
though those about the President re-
fuse to be drawn out on the subject on
denying daily reports of this or that
concerning The Chief Executive, their
attitude is that there is absolutely
nothing going on in the Government
that President Wilson does not know.
A high official closely connected
with the President, when asked point
blank for the details connected with
the writing of the Pres dents mes
saGe to Congress yesterday, replied
that he could readily answer the
question. but under the circumstances s
would not. To answer it, he said,
would be treating too seriously the
charges which were being made for
political purposes that Pr, s dent Will
son had not written 1T himself
For precisely the same reasons, the
same official said, he must decline to
answer the charge made in some
quarters that the | Pr sident knew
nothing of the straiped relations with
Mexico and the possibility of armed
intervention In that country.
Another member 'bf the Presidents
household, while adopting the same
attitude declared that there was new
er a document th at left the VIII te
House without first having been CO e.
ly scrutinized by the President, and
that every document signed by n m
and purporting to come from him.
actually did come from him.
Secretary Tumu1ty said today that
the President has made "wonderful"
progress He refused to hazard a
guess as to how long IL would be he
fore the President got into harness
again. Like the others OF the Presi
dents encourage he did not think II

Workers have jurisdiction over the
anthracite workers, and John L..
Lewis, when in Washington a week
ago, made it clear that a strike
among the hard-coal miners would be
tactical error Of the gravest sort,
and that he would strive by all means
within his power to prevent IL.
D. spite this, Frank harrington is
quoted in dispatches from Chicago as
favoring a walkout by the anthracite
men. American Federation Of Labor
officials here believe he was mis-
quoted, but say that in any event he
does not represent the policy of the
national officials of the United Mine
Workers.

And they arrested the watchman at

IF the United States Government
hadn't stepped in when 1t did," he
continued, they would have rail-
roaded him to prison in short order
"The courts would not take any
testimony from his side Of the case,
and would send to Mexico City only
such testimony as would 20 against
him. Every method was used to
make the Indians and poems give the
testimony the court wanted.
"One day they brought a bunch of
Indians in from jenkins ranch to tes-
tify. The prosecuting attorney told
them he wanted them to say they saw
Jenkins at his ranch October 20. They
refused. The attorney ordered the
gaurds to take five of them outside.
In a few minutes rifle shots were
heard
The guards came back in the room
and the attorney again asked the In
dams II they wanted to give the de-
sired testimony. They did.
But the nve were not really shot.
They were led outside and held while

just an instance of how testimony

against Jenkins. This evidence was
FORWARDED to Bonillas by Hilario Me-
dina, acting minister Of foreign af-
fairs of Mexico. according to reports
from Mexico City.
State Department officials were not
surprised when shown the interview
with Medina, in which the foreign
minister declared Mexico's position in
the Jenkins case is the same today as
stated in the Mexican note refusing
the United States request" for his
liberation. There Is growing belief
In official Washington that Mexico
will refuse q second time to release
Jenkins
Although the State Department has
received no official word of its deliv-
cry. II IL assumed here that the last
American note has been presented to
the Mexican foreign Office, Ii having
been sent early Sunday.

today of the KIDNAPPING Of Norman
Rowe. a British subject, by rebels at
Zacatecas, who held him for ransom.
The British vice consul at Zacatecas
Immediately made representations
and reported the abduction to the
British consulate general at Mexico
City. The Carranza government at
once effected Rowe's release.

One Of the dangerous features of
the situation Is the fact that the ar
rest or falling of soft coal miners
in an effort to force them back to

miners to the point where they may
join the walkout and thus cause a
tie-up Of virtually the entire coal in

Hard Coal Men Restless.

ington for some time that the hard
coal miners in Pennsylvania were
growing restive under the attitude
taken by the Government toward the
bituminous miners end yesterda,
Frank harrington, district leader Of
the United Mine Workers In Illinois,
stated frankly that the anthracite
miners would be called out unless
there was an equitable settlement in
the near future.
! The Department Of Justice Is pre-
pared for quick action should the
sinister threat of a hard coal strike
make any progress. but 1t Is doubt
full II 1t could stay the hand IT the
miners by Injunction proceedings in
asmuch as the soft coal walkout mas

Meanwhile every possible step Is
being taken by the Fuel Adrinistra
tion and the Railroad Administration
for the conservation Of coal. Director
General Hines has issued new orders
to regional directors ordering them
to remove all passenger trains which
are not absolutely essential.
