Renew Negotiations
For Compromise on
Treaty Ratification

Washington, Dec. l.-Negotia-
tions for compromise ratification
of the peace treaty were renewed
Monday. with the resassembling of
congress, but the general feeling of
senator's on both sides was that it
might be some weeks before the
movement reached the stage of foi-
NAL action
In the short, session Monday,
neither the treaty nor the peace
resolution was mentioned, but there
was much private talk which devel-
oped some disposition to compro-
mise on both sides. Democratic
senator's who approached republi-
cans on the subject were told to
put their proposals into concrete
form. They promised to do SO with
in day or two.
Senator Hitchcock, the democrat
ic leader. predicted that compromise
efforts would succeed and that with
in few weeks it would be possible
to bring in the treaty and ratify it
quickly. He expects to see Presi-
dent Wilson soon and is expected
to ascertain just what reservations
the president would accept rather
than see the treaty die.

Grand Rapids. Mich, Dec. H.
| Unexpected progress was made by
federal officers in preparing the way

including U. S. Senator Truman H.
Newberry, who were indicted by
federal grand jury here late Satur-
day, on charges of corruption, fraud

number of those indicted and first
arraignments were held before Fed
eral Judge c. w. Sessions, half a
dozen of the defendants appearing in

Something of a sensation was
caused when two of those cited in
the true bills, but whose names did
not appear. in the list announced
Saturday, came before Judge Ses-
sions and pleaded guilty to counts
contained in the indictments. These
were William E. Rice, Grand

American Governments Note
Demands Immediate Release
Of Jenkins, U. S. Consular
Agent at PuebIa.
WILFUL Indifference \
Is LAID TO CARRANZA
State Department Means
Business This Time, Porter
Says, in Commenting on
Matter of Message.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The govern
ment's note to Mexico, made public
today at the hour of its delivery in
Mexico City. renews the request for
the immediate release of William O.
Jenkins. thes american consular
agent. imprisoned at Puebla, and
bluntly charges Carranza with at
tempting to becloud the issue.
In the sharpest language yet ad-
dressed to the Carranza government
and probably more pointed than one
government usually addresses to all
other III formal diplomatic COM
munication the United States says
1t regards Mexico's plea of judicial
reasons for not releasing jenkins as
"inere excuses" and gives notice
that it will not be drawn away
from the main facts and into a-dis-
cussion Of "irrevelant and unim-
portant matters
Wilful Indifference.
The attitude of the Carranza gov
eminent in the matter, the note says,
has been to assume wilful indif-
ference 10 the feelings of the Amer
ican people and the conclusion
drawn. by the government is that
Mexico has sought to divert the at
tention of the American people and
the Mexican people as we'll from the
fact that Puebla, second largest city
in Mexico. is overrun by bandits
while the civil authorities are negf-
gen"
The u1timatuln was served and no
time given in which this govern
ment expects jenkins to be released
and neither was there any state
ment in the note as to what the
course of the American government
would pursue if the renewed re-
quest for his release is denied.
Means Business.
After a conference with Secretary
Lansing, late today Chairman Porter
of the house foreign affairs commit
tee expressed the opinion that "the
State department means business
this time" Chairman Porter indi-
Gated that he was in accord with
the governments present policy in
dealing with the Mexican situation.
Chairman Porter was with Sec
retary Lansing for half an hour
discussing the Mexican situation in
general. and later appeared hopeful
of a solution of the trouble.
The danger to the United States
of this condition of continual unrest
and feeling of hostility towards us
in Mexico" Mr.. Porter said, lies in
the fact that it provides a fertile
field for anti-American propaganda
and even base for attack upon the
United States by any foreign coun-
try that effected combination with
Mexico. By this the spirit, if not
the letter of the Monroe doctrine
would be violated"

AIRMAN KILLED
JUMPING FROM
STRICKEN PLANE
Parachute Fails to Open in
Time and Lieut.. Graves In
stantly Killed in Lemburg.

Lemberg, Dec. 1.-Lieutenant Ed
mund P. Graves of Boston, Mass,
a member of the Kosciusko aerial
squadron of the Polish army, was
killed when his airplane crashed on
the roof of the palace of Count
Potocki, which is occupied by the
personnel of the American Red
Cross.
Gasoline escaping from the ma
chine ignited and started fire
which nearly consumed the building.
Lieutenant Graves, vino was a
Harvard graduate of 1913, was the
first number of the Kosciusko
squadron, which Is made up of
American volunteers, to lose his life.
The accident was witnessed by
thousands of spectators, who had
crowded into Lemberg for a cele-
bration in honor of the freeing of
Lemberg from the Ukl ainians
year ago.
After the Kosciusko squadron
had flown over the city Lieutenant
Graves flew down the central street
several hundred feet above the
crowd performing what is known as
the double loop" During the ma
neuver the right wing of the machine
broke. Graves coolly threw off his
safety belt and jumped with par
achute. The height was insufficient
for the parachute to open and
Graves struck the ground and was
instantly killed.. while his machine
crashed on the roof of the Potocki
palace.
Graves volunteered for service
with the British royal air forces be-
fore the United States entered the
war. He was an "acrobatic' teacher
in the instructors school at Toronto,
and afterwards seryed overseaS
