MEXICO CITY, Oct. 29.-Public in
timations that the abduction of Will
liam O. Jenkins, American consular
agent at Puebla, presented phases in
dicative of connivance by Jenkins and
certain of his associates with the ban
dts are refuted in q story published
by the Excelsior. The newspapers
story is the result of an investigation
by it's special representative in Puebla.
The Excelsior says the consular
agent was really kidnapped and that

a receipt for 100000 pesos, although

this amount has been paid or who
paid it.
The arrest of Jenkins who has been
released on bail, is believed to been
brought by the local courts wanting
to assure testimony to aid in clearing
up more or less haZy charges in con-
nection with what persons paid over
the ransom money.
The condition of Mr.. Jenkins who
still is in the hospital suffering from

ASK GERMANY 8
AID IN BLOCKADE
Move Against Soviet Russia in
Paris
By The Associated Press.


PARIS, oct. 30:-The text of the
note sent by Marshal Foch to Gen
eral Nudant for transmission to the
German government, inviting Ger
many to participate in the blockade
of soviet Bolshevik Russia, is SIMILAR
to that sent to the neutralNstates with
the exception of the last paragraph.
The note follows:
The president of the peace con-
ference has been requested by the
conference to inform the neutral
governments of dec;.ion taken by
the supreme council of the allied and
associated powers in regard to econ
cmic pressure which is to be eXerted
on Bolshevik Russia.
THE German government is asked
to take measures similar to those in
dicated.
The avowed hostility of the Boil
sheyists toward all governments and
their international program of revo-
luton, which they are spreading G
abroad constitute grave danger for
the national security of all powers.
Every increase of strength of the
Bolshevists would increase the dan
ger and would be contrary to the de-
sire of all peoples who are seeking
to reestablish peace and social order.
ut is in this spirit that the allied
and associated governments after stu
dying the commercial relations with
Bolshevik Russia find these relations
indeed, could only be effected through
the agency of the chiefs of the Boil
shevik government, who, disp osing at
will of products which commercial
liberty would bring them, would
thereby achieve considerable increa Sc
in their tyranical strength which they
are exercising over the Russian pop
ulation.
Under these conditions the allied
and associated governments the Swiss
Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch,
Finnish, Spanish, Mexican, Chilean,
Argentinean, Columbian and Vene-
zuelian governments to be good
enough to make an immediate agree
ment with them ip measure to pre-
vent their nationals from engaging in
any commerce with Bolshevik Russia
and to assure that this policy will be
vigorously executed.
ITO refuse clearance papers to
every ship going to Russian ports in
the hands of Bolshevists or coming
from said ports.
ITO establish measures for all mer-
chandise, resigned to be sent to Bol
shevik Russia by any other rout.
ITO refuse passports ito all persons
going to Bolshevik Russia or coming
from it, except through understand
ing with the allied and associated
governments.
1T is the disposition, with a view
to preventing banks from doing bus
ness with Bolshevik Russia to request
refusal by this government to it's own
nationals of facilities for correspon-
dence with Bolshevik Russia by post,
telegraph or wireless"
The note sent to Germany con-
tanned the final paragraph:
THE British and French Warships
in the Gulf of Finland shall continue
to change the route of ships bound for
ports of Bolshevik Russia.

IN COLLISION
Pennsylvania R. R. Tow Hits
Dredge in Fog Last Night

The large ldredge deepening the
channel in Staten Island Sound, sunk
last night a short time after it had
been struck by the tow of the Penn
sylvania railroad tug "Overbrook." p"
The collision occurred during a heavy
fog and persons on shore heard cries
for help, but it was denied at the tow
Office of the Pennsylvania railroad to-
day that anyone on the dredge or
barges in the tow had been killed or
injured.
For the past several months the
dredge has been digging IN the chan
mel and at the present time was laying
off the plant of the u. S. Lead Com
pany. The tug "Overbrooll" with a
tow of coal barges left the Pennsyl-
vania docks in South Amboy late yes
terday afternoon for New York. The
collision occurred after dark. No
one could be found who knew the ex-
act time it occurred. The dredge is
said to be the property of the Goge
han Dredging Company of New York
city.
Today the dredge lies in the chan
mel of the sound in many feet of
water, only the smoke stack being
visible. The tow office of the Penn
sylvania railroad now is carrying on
an investigation to ascertain the cause
OF the collision.
Unloading Big Ship.
The work of unloading a large

The ship being unloaded is the Chap
pell, from Cuba with ore for the u.
S. Metal Company. The vessel was
too heavily loaded to make the Metal
Company dock, and it was decided to
relieve the ship of about 1000 pounds
of the cargo so that it will ride high

With the election less than a week

every nook and corner of the county

both sides. The Republicans predict
a land slide throughout the county

WILSON TOFIX
PRICE Of COAL
Administration Has Power to
Distribute Coal

WASHINGTON, oct. 3O:-Presi-
dent Wilson's cabinet was called in
special session this morning to make
final plans for dealing with the strike
of bituminous coal miners Saturday.
The call was issued by Secretary
Lansing.
Revival of the fuel administration
to deal with conditions growing out
of the threatened coal strike Satur-
day is not necessary, DIR. Harry A.
Garfield advised the Presidents cab
met today, holding that the wartime
powers of that body were vested IN
the railroad administration, which
will have full authority to distribute
coal to essential industries.
Members of the cabinet said that
IL DR.. Garfield's suggestion was
adopted it would invite the necessity
of asking congress for money to re-
organize the fuel administration and
the railroad administration allocate
coal in accordance with the deferen-
tial list of the coal shortage two years
ago.
While revival of the fuel admins
tration had been urged by govern
ment officials to prevent boarding
and proflteering, the Department OF
Justice announced that it had power
to handle that situation under the
food control act. An executive order
restoring maximum prices IOf codL
will be issued by President Wilson
probably today. Officials would not
say what maximum had been deter
mined upon. -
Secretary Lane annonnced,sFp sFps the
| cabinet met, that the soVefnpeenf'
! would not hesitate to curtail the con-
sumption of coal in industries nifty
per cent. in@ order that the coal on
| hand and that available from uneI-
fective non-union mines might be
equitably distributed to essential in
dustries
The curtailment list used by the
war Industries board during the war
would be taken as the basis for the
industries to be supplied, Mr.. Lane
said, plants engaged in manufacture
ing munitions might be cut off alto
gether.
The current supply of coal from
: non union mines is deficient to meet
dom este demands and supply the
needs of railroads and public utilities.
| MIR. Lane said New England had
stored away a two months supply
| which will take care of all require
ments for that period.
The railroad administration today
ordered the confscation of all coal in
transit when necessary to obtain a
reserve supply to keep the roads IN
| operation.
| In taking over such coal exemp-
| tions will be made, as far as POSI-
| ble. of coal designed to certain class
! es based on the priority list estap-
| lished by the fuel administration.

firmed the statement from Youngs-
town that the national steel strike
committee had endorsed the stand of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers that all con-
tracts with mills made before the

1t is fair, necessary and desirable

A statement made by John Fitz-
patrick, chairman of the national
steel strike committee, to the effect
of the threatened bituminous coal
strike upon the steel strike and labor
in general, was issued at steel
strike headquarters here today. The
statement follows:
IF the coal strikA comes it will
add strength to the steel strike and
to the position of labor through out
the country. 1t will mean labor has
accepted the challenge of the big
group of employers who profiteered
during the war, and who are still
profiteering.
IF the miners strike a tremendous
power is added to the labor forces
struggling to loosen the grip Of ruth
less profiteers on labor and the pub
