New York, Dec. 5.-Drastic cuts in public service on all railroads in the eastern region which number approxi- mately 150 and extend from seaboard to St. Louis and Chicago were ordered today by Regional Director Hardin to save fuel and permit expeditions transportation of coal to places ill the west facing acute shortages.
 The reduction in service, which be- comes effective at 12.01 a. m, next Wednesday, will be as sharp as that which was made in the fuel famine of war days, but railroad officials said they would be unable to tell just how many trains would be dropped until federal managers had cut their sehed- ules in accordance with detailed in- structionS sent them by MT. Hardin.
 It is not expected that the revised timetables will be made public until next Monday.
 MT. Hardin has specified, however. that for the first time in it's history the famous Twentieth Century Limit i ed between New York and Chicago must be suspended, that no special trains are to be operated, and that second sections of regular trains must ] be discontinued except in cases of coach travel between cities of dense

JENKINS IS OPPOSED TO iYTERvENTIoN IN MEXICO

s Washington. Dec. 5.LInterVentiop in Mexico is opposed by William Q. Jenkins, the American consular agent whose release from Jail has given the latest turn to the Mexican problem. In letter received today by Repre- sentative Davis of Tennessee, Jen- kins said, It ought to be possible to solve the Mexican problem without actual intervention"
 Writing from the state penitentiary at Puebla, on November 26. he said he had refused to give bond "as it seemed to meet these people square ly and have it out once for all, as otherwise they would trouble me for months and months"
 The. letter said the general feeling there was that Mexico will make one of her usual insulting replies" to the American note requesting Jenkins re- lease, and that the American embassy at Mexico City then had a rep1esen- tative at Puebla taking evidence that the court has refused to take"
 T would not like to see intervention at all,' Jenkins wrote, "as I think that it ought to be possible to solve the Mexican problem without actual intervention. although the attitude of ! the present government is hard to un- derstand at times.
 Mexico had the greatest chance on earth to get on her feet and stay there during the big war, by taking stand in favor of the allies, but it is well known that the government was violently pro-German, and from the continued persecution that they are showing in my case, it would seem | that they are still taking advantage of all the opportunities to insult the United States government
 There are so many irregularities in the case that they have presented | against me that it seems impossible for me not to get some sort of satis- faction even in the courts as they are
 here and I am now asking that it be taken out of the hands of the loca'
 judge, who is mere tool of tho gov
 crnor, and put in tho hands of fed
 eral judge, who is the only competent
 judge for such cases according to the
 Mexican constitution. but they are de. laying action greatly to cause me 4.

 MT. Caminetti at the same time made public a telegram he sent today to Harry Weinberger, counsel for the an- archists, in which he denied that the immigration bureau had ruled that it would permit the family of a deported alien to accompany him.
 'In answer to your questions" said the telegram, the bureau stated that if you had a client ordered deported to Russia who had a family, sugges- ton of permitting family to accompany him would be considered if presented, but bureau did not decide the question in advance and does not say it will permit family to accompany deported alien.

The damage in Broken glass alone was estimated by Fire Chief Kenlon at s75,000.
 r The explosion occurred as hundreds of theater- -soers were On their way to evening performances and the police reserves had to be summoned to con- trol the frightened crowds. Electric power was cut off from all buildings within a radius of several blocks, ex- tinguishing all lights.
 The blasts, which continued for nearly an hour, caused great confu- sion in the district and many persons believed that an earthquake had oc- cured. In several places wide cracks appeared in the pavement.
 Shortly following the first explosion the six day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden was halted when the fire department ordered the lights ex- tinguished as 8 precautionary meas ure. The thousands of spectators filed quietly from the building.

 by the government and the resulting investigation by General Pablo Con zalez who was sent to Puebia by the Mexican government to investigate the facts in the case. The investi- gations by Gen. Gonzalez, who was at Puebla on December 3, had then practically substantiated the position taken by this government on behalf of Jenkins.
 Two peons from Santa Lucia ad- mitted to Gen. Gonzalez that they had made declarations against Jenkins under threat of execution. Other wit nesses testified they had been com pelled to make false statements against Jenkins under duress. One witness was threatened with a pistol. another suspended by a rope, and still another beaten until he made his declaration against Jenkins.
