CARRANZA TROOPS
KIDNAPPED JENKINS
Z. s. Consul Was Never Out

soldiers were implicated in the kidnap-
ping Of William o. jenkins, American
Consular Agent at Puebla, for whom
$50 1000 ransom was paid by Jenkinss
friends yesterday. according to official
information received here to-day While
It was intimated that with Jenkins's safe
return to his home the incident was
closed It is thought that the Mexican
Government will be called upon to ex-
plain certain circumstances and to give
assurances that there will be safeguards
against other incidents of the kind.
A message made public to-day at the
State Department from the American
Embassy at Mexico city said that
Jenkins notified the embassy from within
the Mexican Federal lines yesterday that
he was on his way to Puebla but gave
no further details. Attention was called
to the fact that Mt no time had 1t been
reported that Jenkins was out OF the
country controlled by Caranza, and no
attempts had been made to fasten the
kidnapping on any Of the bandit gangs
operating in the vicinity II Jenkinss
friends are reimbursed for their outlay

ment, but il was not stated to-day what
efforts would be made by the United
States to enforce the claim.

California, who has often indicated his

the investigation and the embassy at

that news of the tragedy will come from

people. He makes It impossible to en-
force the wartime prohibition act.
Therefore, in fact, the act no longer ex-
lists. Liquor sellers are bound neither
morally nor legally.
Personally I expect to see a much
more open dispensation of drinks be-
tween now and Jan. 16. 1920, than we
have had since July l. Who is going
to stop us? What is there to be afraid
of? The main trouble Is the scarcity of
good quality liquor. There Is very little
whiskey to be had. Most of II is either
in the bonded warehouses or in private
stores"
Members of the Retail Liquor Dealers
Association (Which had the veto news
before any other individual or group of
individuals In. New York had 1t, appaT-
ently) expressed the opinion that an an
nouncement of fitting of the wartime
prohibition ban might be expected very
soon. They would not reassert this
opinion. however, after the repassage of
the bill by the House.
1T seems obvious" said one of the
officials of the association. that the
President would not have vetoed the
Volstead act had he not intended TO lift
the ban. The language OF the veto
message indicates his purpose, in my
opinion. We expect the announcement
to be made this week. and probably
within a day or two. If this is done
some very interesting happenings can
be expected.
Probably 100000 gallons of whis-
key, together with vast quantity of
sin, will be taken out of bond by paying
the Government tax. This will mean
inevitably that the extortionate prices
that liquor sellers have been forced TO
ask will come down, perhaps not as
much as some people expect. but GER
tainly to an appreciable extent There
will no longer be an excuse for charging
81 for a highball and 60 or 20 cents
for a small drink OF whiskey.
Another reason why a lifting of the
ban may be expected Is the position the
banks of the country are in. 1t Is esti-
mated that they have loaned at least
$50, 000, 900 on warehouse certificates,
and unless the ban was lifted 1t is hard
to see how they would get their money
back No doubt this enters into the
Presidents calculations"
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-10-28

There was some disposition among
Senate Republicans to criticise the Pres
ident for his action. The reasons given
by Mr. Wilson for his veto did not ring
true to them. Their attitude was
summed up by Senator Penrose, who
said:
ut seems to be the old story OF play
ing cheap politics. No regard seems to
have been given to some $500, 100000
taxes which we might have secured and
which are sorely needed, and entire In
difference is exhibited for unfortunate
people who have paid taxes upon bever-
ages which they are unable TO dispose OF.
THE absence OF any serious or con-
sistent purposes In the method of treat
ing important questions involved has
caused me very largely to give up any
further consideration of the situation.
Any blame, criticism or praise that is to
be attached to the outcome will have to
be borne by the Democratic Administra-
ton. which has invariably juggled the
issue"

CENTRAL HIGH TEAM ENGAGES PAINTERS.
Light Central Squad Shows Up Well-Students Hold
 Mass Meeting

The Birmingham Southern college Partners engaged the Central High grid iron warriors in a short scrimmage on Munger field yesterday afternoon in their daily practice for about 90 minutes the Central High athletes having the ball the entire period.
 The Partners did not show the expected High school, and Central made number of short gains through the college line, which was constantly changed by Coach Charlie Brown. The line failed to show up as expected, although several of the linesmen on different occasions broke through and cut the Central backs dowr
 for long losses.

Jack Dempsey is eager to fight.
 And the public is keen to see the meteoric champion perform in defense of his title.
 But who will Dempsey fight?
 Ever since he whipped Jess Willard in July the sporting experts have been looking around the entire world for a foeman worthy of Dempsey's steel But there doesn't seem to be one man in harness today who could give Dempsey a real fight. And because of that, certain promoters in this country are hesitating over offering him the sum of money that he would demand to battle one or another of the Ameri- can warriors.
 There has been some talk about re- matching Dempsey with Jess Willard. This has come about through certain remarks dropped by Ray Archer, sec retary to the former champion. Archer made a. statement that Willard had not really trained for that fight be- cause he underestimated Dempsy. Fur thermore. that Willard would have put up a different battle if Dempsey's first punch had not hit him in the heart and semi-paralyzed him.
 'If Willard got another chance at Dempsey I think the result would he a whole lot different" declared Archer.

THE BANGS OF
 RHEUMATISM

This is typical case, and everyone who has had the slightest experience with rheu- matism will continue to suffer and grow worse until they are finally practically helpless, un- less they realize that the dis ease must be combatted at its source. Rheumatism is often a diseased condition of the blood, the disease attacks the body through the blood, hence the system can be rid of it's pains only after the blood has been cleansed of the germs of the disease.
 Lotions, liniments and oint- ments, applied to the surface may in some cases deaden the pain for the time being, but until you attack the disease at it's foundation, you are making no progress toward a cure, and you are permitting the trouble to get firmer hold on your system every day. This is one reason why rheumatism is usually permanent disease, staying with it's victims year after year. Getting rid of the disease is merely a matter of treating it intelligently. Know ing that it cannot be cured by external applications, it is folly to rely upon such treatment.
 s. s. s. is without question the most thorough blood med icine ever made, and it cleanses the blood of every impurity and disease germ. That. is why it seldom fails to give satisfac- tory results in even the severest cases of rheumatism. Being purely vegetable without a particle of mineral or chemical in it's composition, it works by eliminating and forcing out of the blood all impurities, acting as tonic to the entire system at the same time. It has been in use for more than fifty years and thousands of sufferers from rheumatism give it un- stinted praise.
 Yol are invited to write our medical department for full in- formation and advice about the treatment of your own case, for which no charge is made. Address Swift Specific Co.,, 27 Swift Laboratory, Atlanta, Ga.

Cannot Be Rubbed Away With
 Liniments

You who are afflicted with this most painful disease-who know from experience just how excruciating it's bangs are get this fact fixed firmly in your mind, and it will aid you in finding a way to a complete recovery. Rheumatism cannot be rubbed away with liniments its pains and bangs cannot be wiped out as if by magic. "A disease that is so full of tor ture and finally renders its victims so helpless, is a deep seated one; it is not on the sur face, hence it mot be reached by external, surface remedies. This is no theory, for your own experience doubt less has shown you that you can never expect to rid your self of the disease in this way. For the chances are that you, like thousands of other suffer CTS, have been misled into the hope that liniments, lotions and other applications would cure your rheumatism. But what has been your experience? The pains possibly have been lessened for the time being, but have they not promptly re- turned, often with increased severity, and are you really any nearer a cure than before :? You certainly are not, and you never will be as long as you rely upon treatment that at best is merely j makeshift.
 See what MT. J. l.. Agnew of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, says of what s. s. s. did for his rheumatism

 flcted with Rheumatism, the pains
 in my knees, legs and ankles being

 remedies without results, unth
