ed this morning the matter of enforc. ing constitutional prohibition was en- tirely question that concerned state and municipal authorities and that the federal government proposed to leave 1t strictly to such authorities for enforcement. The government will seek only to create a moral senti- ment to aid the enforcement of the law.
 It the state and municipal authori- ties, according to MT. Kramer, should fall down on the job and prove to be inefficient then the federal authorities will be compeled to take action to cope with the situation.

NEWARK, N. J., Nov. 24.-R)-- James Sapiensen, manufacturer of Irvington, last night shot and killed his wife who was lying beside him in bed. He has given himself up to the local police, confessing the deed which he declares was done while he was sound asleep The police are inclined to credit his statement and will probably drop the case.
 It is a strange story that Sapien- sen told the police. He said that he has been receiving threatening letters for sometime past. He was dreaming of these, and in his dream he saw men creeping thru the win dow of the bedroom in which he and his wife were sleeping. Still asleep he drew a revolver from underneath his pillow and fired. The shot awak- ened him and he found that he had shot and instantly killed his wife. He immediately called the police and surrendered himself Sapienson is heartbroken over the affair.

MEX. LEADER COOKING UP
 TROUBLE FOR GOVERNMENT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 |-R-The Mexican cabi- net met in executive session last Friday to consider the sharp note received from the American government demanding the release of Wm. Jenkins, American consular agent at Puebla, from arrest and confine- ment at that place and also warning Mexico against further molestation of the American representative. What action was taken by the Mexican ministry has not been made known, nor has there been any answer received here by the state department from Mexico.
 Advices received here from official sources at El Paso say that President Carranza is deliberately planning his policy in an en- deavor to force a break in relations with the United States. The state depart ment will probably with hold action a few days in the Jenkins matter to give Mexico every opportunity
 to comply with the Ameri- can request or at least to make some reply to the de-
 partment's note.

 SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 24.-(P)-- Governor Hart who arrived here this morning predicts that the mines of this state will be in operation before the end of this week. He meets with representatives of the operators here tonight to discuss the resumption of operations.
