M 'ADOO RE|TERATES GOAL OWNERS MADE
 B|G PROFITS IN 1917

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Profits sev- eral times in excess of the entire capi- tai invested came back to many coal operators in 1917, William G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury, de- clared in further statement tonight relative to the coal controversy. He asserted those operators must now be on velvet" The statement follows:
 "The coal operators assert that I gave out confidential information when stated that profits of the mine own CTS in 1917 ranged from Is to 1000 per cent on capital stock before deduction of taxes.
 This was not confidential informa- ton. The treasury department may publish statistical matter of this char acter any time. In fact, information concerning this very subjpect was fur nished by me to the United States senate in response to resolution in- troduced by Senator Borah concerning profiteering, and was published July 5, 1918 (see senate document 259 Sixty-fifth congress second session.)
 Tn this report the returns of sev- eral hundred coal companies showed profits ranging from 15 to 800 per cent on their invetsed capital in 1917. The range of profits was higher on capital stock. Tn short, many operators got back their entire invested capital sev- eral times out of their profits in 1917 as shown by the reports. and must now b. oa> velvet"

FREAK DISTURBANCE
 PUZZLES SCIENTISTS
Republican A. p. Leased yyireJ

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-No scientific explanation had been made tonight of the unusual illumination. described variously as like ball of fire or flare followed shortly by a concussion and observed by residents of three states last night, but generally it was believed to have been a meteor.
 The seismograph at the University of Chicago Is expected to show some record tomorrow when the films are developed. The instrument is of the photographic type. Aside from the visibility of the flare in southern Mich igan and northern Indiana and Illinois, the concussion shook houses and broke windows in several cities and wire service was affected.
 Several professors of astronomy were inclined to the belief that the disturb ance was caused by a falling meteor, but some were reticent and one thought the affected area was too wide to be accounted for by a meteor.

J. $. NOTE ID MEXICO EXPRESSES SURPRISE
 AT JENKINS ARREST

FL PASO, Texas, Nov. 27-Surprise and exasperation were expressed by the government of the United States in it's note to the Mexican government demanding the release from prison of William O. Jenkins, American consular agent at Puebla, Mexico, it became known tonight, following the publica- tion of the text of the American note by Andres G. Garcia, consul general at El Paso.
 Following is retranslation of the Spanish version of the note sent to Mexico by the state department of the United States:
 American Embassy, Mexico City, Nov. 20, 1919. 'To Hilario Medina, Sub-Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Mexico City. "Sir: Referring to previous commu- nication in the case of the consular agent of the United States at Puebla, William O. Jenkins, I have the honor of informing you that I have received telegraphic instructions to notify the secretary of foreign affairs of Mexico that, in connection with the losses and | injuries already suffered by Mir. Jen- kins as the result of his being kid naped, occasioned by the inability of the Mexican government to give due protection, and his first arrest by Mexican authorities, the government of the United States of America is sur priced and exasperated to learn thar MT. Jenkins has again been arrested. His new arrest seems to my gov ernment according to the evidence be- fore it, entirely unjustified and an ar bitrary exercise of public authority
 "The government orders me to add that the persistent persecution and subsequent harassing of Mir. Jenkins can not but have very serious effect on the. relations between the two coun- tries, for which the Mexican govern ment will be solely responsible.
 Therefore, I am ordered to demand the immediate liberation of MT. Jen- | kins
 Accept, sir, etc,
 (Signed)
 GEORGE L. SUMMERLIN,
 Charge d'Affaires."
 The text of the American note, as well as the reply made by the Mexican government, was received from Mexico City by the consulate general here with instructions to give both docu- ments publicity.

bORAH OUTLINES SENATEPR0CRAM FUR NEXT MEET
Republican A p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Calling on congress to turn it's attention to the immediate needs of the American peo- pie, Senator Borah of Idaho, republi- can. one of the 'irreconcilables" in the fight against the league of nations, outlined in formal statement tonight a program for the coming session.
 Passage of a bill to declare peace; legislation to "bring order out of chaos in our transportation system;" laws to enforce governmental economy and check extravagance which he characterized as incredible, a check on profiteering, return of American troops from Russia and a restoration of the peace time powers of the gov ernment in distinction with the war time powers being maintained were the principal measures Senator Borah advocated.
 A declaration of peace, Senator Borah declared. was "dsirable more for psychological reasons than any. thing else" adding that "the advo- vccates of the league continue to harp upon the proposition that we techni- cally are at war in order to disturb business and keep it restless and un- settled"
 "One of the greatest and best rail- road systems in the world has been wrecked through incompetency and politics" Senator Borah's statement charged, and in his attack on govern mental expenditures he declared the people are literally being taxed into bolshevism."
 Referring to former Secretary Mo Adoos recent statement regarding profits of coal operators, Senator Borah declared the profits were per mitted under the orders of the admin istration of which Mir McAdoo was a member and that profiteering is "just as rampant now as it was during the war in certain lines of industry"
 ''The most fragrant and unconscion- able profiteering that the country has experienced" he said, '-was that which was permitted or actually ordered by the government"
 Legislation passed for carrying on the war, Senator Borah charged. is being maintained and for the purpose of repressing our own people" the great majority of whom the senator said he believed were loyal to. Ameri- can institutions.
 Declaring there were more senators now opposed to the league of nations than at any time previous, Senator Borah predicted it was possible but by no means certain" that the treaty could pass with the foreign relations committee reservations. Nothing less he predicted, would ever pass the senate.

Kansas Governor Takes Drastic
 Action ToReieyeCoa Shortage

the governor said. flor only one pur- pose, to relieve the coal famine and to protect the lives of those engaged in carrying out this effort
 The governor asserted that people of Kansas are interested in seeking a just settlement of the controversy be- tween the miners and operators, but they see no reason why the industrial life of the state should be periled while the opposing sides picker over the distribution of a human necessity"
 But once and for all," the state ment continues, it must be under stood that the powers of the state now summoned into action for the pro- tection of it's people, are above and beyond those of any association or organization, whether of capital or in- dividuals."

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 27.-The meeting of 500 general chair1nen of the four great railroad brotherhoods, which convened here last Monday to consider an offer from Director Gen. eral of Railroads Hines of time and one-half for overtime in slow freight service, provided all arbitraries and special allowances were eliminated, ended late today with the adoption of a resolution to send committee, rep resenting all four organizations, in cluding the four chiefs, to Washing ton to confer with Mir.

 A record vote was taken on this resolution, resulting in its acceptance by the engineers, firepen and conduc- tors, while the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen rejected it by a large major ity, the vote being as follows, insofar as membership represented by the gen. eral chairman present was concerned: Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers for, 33,601; against, 4,2S0 Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Engine men, for, 62455; against, 14,942.
