WASHINGTON. Oct. 2I.-Onicial in
formation received from Mexico City
indicates that Carranza soldiers un-
questionably were implicated in the
kidnapping of William o. Jenkins. the
American consular agent at PuebIa,
who was abducted October 10 and re-
leased only after his friends in Puebla
had paid to the kidnapers sl5oo00 in
American gold.

est KIDNAPPING OF an American in recent
years in Mexico. but it Is known that
they look to the Mexican government

The American government. 1t was
said To-Day at the department. does not

expressed their belief that President
Carranza would be glad TO repay the

Jenkins Reported Free.
The department had no news regard
day, except message from the Ameri-
can. embassy in Mexico City. saying
that Third Secretary OF Emba ssy
kins had sent word from within the
Federal lines that he was free and was
returning to Puebla.
NsporlS regarding jenkins physical
condition and details OF his kidnap-
ing have been asked by the depart
ment. and 1t was announced that in
formation regarding the case would
be made public as soon az received. 1t

BLANKET TAX RAISE

If discussing the proposal blanket

already rendered their property for all
it would bring on the open market, ac-

payer who. by the records since taxes
were collectable has always complied
with the law and rendered his property
for all it was actually worth at free ana
voluntary sale.
This man said that those who had
done this would be the sufferers. be-
cause their property is already listed at
full value and if the state board adds
on another so per cent as proposed, it
will amount to little less than confis
cation. and many will not be able to
weather the financial storm.
1t is the ones who camouflaged their
returns who will be the winners, as n
so per cent increase WILL in all proba-
bility, not be too heavy, If enough. for
this class but it seems an injustice
that this man and other of his like

PEACE CONFERENCE NOT
INSISTING On RUMiNIANS
RETIRING FROM BUDAPEST

Paris, August 1.-THE peace confer
cnce, ii became known today, is chang
ing entirely its attitude toward the
Rumanian army in Budapest. The con-
ference, it is learned, is not disposed
to ask the Rumanians to leave the
capital Immediately, despite the fact
that the supreme inter-allied council
asked the Rumanians not to enter
Budapest.
While the supreme council is indig-
nant over Rumanian seizure of sup
plies i'm Hungary preparatory to ship
ping them to Rumania, many delegates
to the conference are of the opinion
that it will be necessary for the Rum
anian troops to remain in Budapest
to steady the situation, at least tenn
porarily.
The council today still was without
a direct reply from Rumanian govern
ment to the ultimatum which it sent
Rumania last week.
