CuaTsRANZA ANSWERS SHARPEsT
WARNING.
Says Consulting Agents Case Ii
Under Adjudication in tho
Civil Courts
DEMAND WITHOUT PRECEDENT
Next Move of State Department Is
Not Yet Determined Upon.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Mexico has
replied with an argumentative diplo-
matte refusal, to the American gov
ernments demand for the immediate
release OF William o. Jenkins the con
sular agent imprisoned at Puebla.
The official note was delivered here
today, but not made public. There is
no reason to doubt that it agrees
with the copy given out last night
by the Mexican consul general at Ell
Paso
No comment was forthcoming to in
dictate how the State Department re
CARDS the answer 10 what was consid
cred one Of the sharpcst warnings
yet sent to Mexico, and neither was
there any indication OF what the gov
ernments next step would be.
The Mexican reply, which, accord
ing to its text was prepared at tho
direction Of President Carranza, ar
cues In the main that the Mexican
government cannot order the release
of a prisoner while his case Is under
adjudication in the civil courts OF
ono OF its states, and contends that
the American Governments demand
Tor the consular agents release had
no foundation or precedent in inter.
national law.
NEW ANGLES BROUGHT OUT.
Some now angles Of the Mexican
viewpoint on the Jenkins case hith-
erto unpublished in the United Stat
es are revealed. The tendency OF the
Mexican argument is to separate the
jenkins case into two phases: first,
the situation in which the consular
agent was kidnapped by bandits and
held for ransom, and last his sub
sequcnt arrest and Imprisonment by
the civil authorities of Puebla on a
charge of having "connivcd" with the
bandits. The note at hand deals with
the latter phase exclusively

held under what is known to the Mex
lean penal code as preventative i'm

This moving picture which is sent
out by the National Cash Register
Co., of Dayton, O., tells the story
of a store which was run on an Old
fashioned plan by which the owner
was losing money. The goods were
badly arranged, the clerks indiffer-

run down because of the lack of a
proper system. There is complete
change, however, when the owner
decides to adopt system in running
his store. The goods are arranged in
a proper manner and the appear
ance of the building becomes more
attractive Indifference in the clerks
department vanishes because exact
record of the work of each person Is
kept. The store itself is improved so
that it attracts more trade and the
merchant becomes prosperous,

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets
are aHarmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive TabIets-the sub

laxative, and their effect on the liver Is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards's determination rot
totreat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
OFT these little olive-colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold of the trouble and quickly correct it.
Why cure theliver at the expense of the
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. 1t
is best not to take Calomel, but to let DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, dizziness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and

counts of Major F. j. CIendenin,

both for and against Major F. ].
Clendenin, predecessor to W. H.

According to the statement as
read by S. z. Simns of the Simms

books of this Office shows a short
age of $4,522.22, made up of vari-
Gus items, principal among which
is the sum of $4,000 in checks

the Office. The books also revealed
a discrepancy of s. 900 against Mr..
Clendenin and in favor of the
county.
Mr. Simms stated that he has
been in communication with Major
Clendenin and that satisfactory ar
engagements have been made to bal
ance accounts.

closed that the approximate sum
of $4,000 is now on deposit at the
State bank in the name of the coun-
ty superintendent of schools de-
partment. Part of this amount is

Clared that he saw no reason why
the residue should not be turned
over at once to the proper custo-
dian, in this case, the county treas

proved business methods to allow
such a large sum to accumulate
without distribution. He stated
that upon the assurance Of Miss Lou
