With the strike of the coal miners a reality and the walkout of railway employees near prob ability, the fuel situation in Bis bee is not at all reassuring, ac- cording to declarations made yes terday by fuel dealers.
 With regard to coal. the situa- tion is already becoming acute. There are not more than 600 tons of coal on hand in the district now for ordinary purposes-an amount which is barely suffi- cient to last until Christmas. No more shipments are available, even of coal already ordered, as the railroads have notified the dealers that all supplies of coal in transit have been taken over by the railroads for their own use. Dealers have already placed the maximum amount which may be bought at one time by the householder at one-quarter of ton

SENATE NEARLY
 ENDS SQUABBLE
Whether to Ratify Treaty or Not Almost Comes to Vote Is Blocked by Opposi-
 ton to Pact

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Whether to ratify the treaty with Germany without reservations or amendments seemed for a while this afternoon about to be decided by the senate.
 Thrown into the thick of a dra- matic parliamentary battle, request for an immediate showdown on un- qualified acceptance of the treaty got the backing of the leaders on both sides, who seemed anxious to outdo each other in pressing for. roll call. But before the stage of action was reached the move was blocked by Republican senators who objected that it might cut off any later at tempt to put reservations into the ratification.
 The senate got back to it's regular order of business, and, having voted down the last of the long list of pro- posed amendments, began work on the reservations presented by the for eign relations committee, said to have the backing of a majority of the senators. When a recess was taken until tomorrow, the first of the Is committee proposals had not yet come to a vote.
 The reservations got before the senate only after a point of order against them had been overruled by Vice President Marshall, who de- clared no technicalities of the senate would be permitted to stand in the way of the right of senate majority to frame its ratification of the treaty as it chose. The ruling. which fol lowed an hour of bitter argument. was accepted as containing a signit- cant declaration of policy with re- spect to the parliamentary tangle de- velopment around the treaty.

 ''Go after the common people-the masses,b' Pandolfo advised him. "They are the boys. We want peo- ple for our stockholders who buy their stock in lots of five to 25 shares each. We want to distribute the stock widely, and not to sell it in one lump"

 Get some man to introduce you and go about with you in any com munity you enter and give him tlvF to seven per cent commission on the stock you sell. Then capitalize hi' friends and acquaintances.

J. {. .M,> >>51 ASK MEXICO n RECOMPENSE JENKINS LAWYER FUR THE SUM PAID K|DNAPERS
 OF AMER|CANCONSULAR AGENT
Unless It Is Proved That Abduction Was the Result of Negligence Part of Mexican Government Reimburse ment Must Come From Private Sources; News
 papers in Mexico City Indignant Over
 Refusal to Pay the Ransom

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The pol icy of the United States regarding Kidnapping of Americans in Mexico and attacks upon Americans and their property in that country was set forth in an official statement that unless negligence on the part of the Mexican authorities can be shown, there will be no claim for damages made by this government The kid naping of Vim. O. Jenkins, American consular agent at Puebla, and the payment by his attorney of $1500 900 ransom for his liberty. was discussed at length by a high official of the state department in outlining the pol icy of the United States.
 Jenkins will have to effect his own reimbursement of the money paid to the Mexicans who Kidnapped him, it was said, unless he can prove that the Mexican government was negli- gent in affording him protection. The fact that he was an official of the United States government has no bearing on the matter in any way, it was stated. Americans in Mexico can expect no more, or different pro- lection than is afforded to MeXicans under the Mexican law, this official said, in definitely disposing of the suggestion that the protection sought by Americans in Mexico through dip lomatic channels to counterbalance the greater measure of protection granted to Mexicans by their courts, will not be urged by this govern ment.
 It was admitted by the state de partment official that the robbery of American mine and oil company pay masters might be" different, as the paymasters are compelled to notify the authorities in advance of their route, time of departure, and the amount of money carried. Assertion that on occasions Mexican soldiers in federal uniforms are reported as par ticipating in the robberies and that officers of the federal army at times have led their men in alleged raids on the camps, brought the reply that in such event there might be- grounds for claim against the Mex ican government under international law.
Bisbee daily review., 1919-11-07

Advices from Mexico City today indicated the newspapers of that capital are much exercised over the situation and the refusal of the gov ernment to reimburse Jenkins the money paid to the Mexican kidnap- CTS. The attorney general of the state of Puebla, in which the kidnap- ing occurred, has urged the Univer- sal not to express an opinion until the matter has been thoroughly in- vestigated by court officials, declar- ing that up to the present no legal evidence has been presented as to the Kidnapping or the payment of the ransom.
 The Excelsior, another Irominent newspaper, however, states unequiv- ocally that everything indicates that Jenkins was actually kidnapped
 This newspaper conducted an in- dependent investigation of the case. and has presented the first detailed account of the incident.
 The Excelsior in its account says that five rebels" seized Jenkins at his factory in Puebla on October 19. The consular agent was compelled to open the safe, which was rifled of it's contents, was taken outside the fac tory. where horses were waiting. and was carried off and kept a week un- til he had arranged to pay the ran some. Jenkins holds the receipt of the bandit leader. Federico Cordoba. for 800 900 pesos ransom.
 The newspaper further states that he suffered the natural discomforts attendant upon living with the ban dits and that his health broke down. He was compelled to sleep on the ground, forced to undergo long hard rides in heavy rains. He feared that his life was in danger at all times. although there were no open threats since he was in the power Of men wholly undisciplned. wle engaged in drinking bouts and fights at all times. The rebels fearing at- tempts at rescue, kept constantly on the move. Jenkins finally was al- lowed 10 write to his wife and the letters were taken to Puebla by se- cret emissaries of the rebels"

Attorney for Brewers Asserts Congress Exceeded Its Au- thority When It Passed Act;
 Says War Technically Over
Bill Passed Under
 False Pretenses''
Country Still Legally at War Until Presidents Proclama- ton Announces Demobili-
 zation, States US. Attorney

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. Elihu Root argued against the constitution ality of the prohibition enforcement act in the United States district court here today, saying that its passage was under false pretenses and beyond tbe power of congress.
 He was associated with William D. Guthrie, in the suit of Jacob Ruppert, who seeks an injunction against the local United States attorney in order that sale of 2.75 per cent beer may be resumed. Two other suits involving the constitutionality of the act were also argued and Judge Hand took all under advisement.
 ''Oo October 27, the sale of this beer was legal, said MT. Root. "On October 29 it's sale was not lawful. On October 2S (the date of enforce ment of the Volstead act by over-rid- ing of the presidents veto) congress had no constitutional authority to prohibit the manufacture and sale of the kind of beer made by the Ruppert company"
 MT. Root argued that in passing the bill congress was exceeding its con- stitutional powers, to raise and sup port armies
 "The president has told congress tnat the armies had been demobil- ized," he said.
 "He had said over and over again that the actual war had ended and that it was no longer necessary to raise and support an urmy. He sald that when the armistice was signed now the armistice has been executed. The enemy has laid down US arms. It has surrendered its navy and sunk il. disbanded it's army. given up it's munitions. There are no countries 1n the world which are so certain not to wage war during our lives as Ger many, and the terms of peace have been communicated to them and ac' cepted. These terms are not being discussed now by us. We are only discussing certain covenants among the parties on one side.
 'This bill was not signed in rela' tion to carrying on the war. There isn't man, woman or child in the United States who doesn't know it The bill was passed under false pre- lenses.
 "The prohibition amendment, pass ed during the war, provided one veal for the liquor business to adjust 1t self. Now after the rear war has passed, when no enemy threatens congress passes a law taking away from the people the year of grace that in time of greatest exigency the will of the people decreed; this i'm poses a greater duty upon the courts to scrutinize the substance of tht: legislation and determine whether i was honest and sincere"

For electricity, the com pany is using $500 gallons of fuel oil a day, and may run from 15 to Is days with the present sup plies. However, it is considered likely that, in the event of neces- sity, the company will be ordered by the government to take over the fuel oil supplies now held by the mining companies.
 The company is also building new storage facilities as rapidly as possible.
 The real danger in the railroad strike, however, is in the cutting off of food supplies, which in all quarters yesterday was looked upon as of the most vital import ance in considering the possibil- ity of a railroad tieup.
