SECRET SERVICE ON WATCH
Mexican Consul General in New York
Accused of RadicaIism-May
Demand His Recall.

aShingtOn.-DicslOSur of large
orders for arms and ammunition
placed by Mexico in Europe have been
followed by revelations tending to
show that the reds underground
line" from soviet Russia to the United
States runs by way of Mexico.
1t became known that the immigra-
ton service and the department of
justice both are concerned at the in
flux of Russian radicals and other
aliens of red tendencies over the Mex
lean border.
letter written on October % by
Ramon P. De Negri, Mexican consul
general in New York, to F1avia Bor-
Quez, a Mexican senator, indorsing
the principle of naturalization"
has been called to the attention Of
the state department by at least two
senators as showing De Negri's asso-
citation with radical Socialists" in the
United States.
In the opinion Of officials here the
publication of De Negris letter may
lead to an embarrassing situation. It
is known that the senators who called
the attention of Secretary Lansing to
it recommended cancellation of the
consul generals exaquator.
Investigators have reported that
radicals seemed to have been first at
tracted to Mexico by certain so-called
ultra modern" provisions of the new
constitution. De Negri, in his letter,
writes that 'only Russia by national
izing lands has gone further than we
have"
Secretary Lansing explained that
diplomatic inquiry had been made at
Brussels respecting the placing of mu-
nitions orders by Mexico in Belgium.
The government is now satisfied that
no shipments are to be, made. The
extensive orders placed by Mexico in
Spain, Secretary Lansing refused to
discuss.
The international arms convention,
in violation of which the recent ship
ments have been made, is as yet an
unpublished document. It is under
stood here that it was signed in Paris
on September Il and provides that
no nation which intends to become a
member of the league may permit
shipments of arms while the world is
passing through the transition period
from war to peace.

GOES INTO JENKINS CASE
United States Government Makes
Strong Representations to Mexico
Regarding Arrest of Consul.

shington.-ConVineed of the in
nocence of William o. Jenkins, Amer
lean consular agent at PuebIa, Mexico,
of the charge that he connived with
Federico Cordova, the rebel, who kid
mapped him, the State Department has
made strong representations to the
Mexican government against Jenkins's
arrest It was said officially that in
formation already at hand justified
the presumption that jenkins was in
nocent
State Department officials regard
the charges that Jenkins conniEed with
his abductors as highly improbable in
view Of the rumor current in the City
of Mexico that the eighteen poems,
upon whose testimony the arrest was
predicated by the state authorities Of
Puebla, had been threatened with
death unless they testified against Jen-
kins. The poems were said to have
been held incommunicado by the police
authorities after their arrest.

was Iynched in Forest Park here early
the other morning.
The negro's three companions, who
had been taken with him from the
Macon Jail and brought to MobeTly by
the mob, escaped from the lynchers.
Two of them later were captured by
the Randolph County officers and are
now in Jail at a point unknown One
negro still is at large. Posses are
securing the country for him and his
capture is momentarily expected
The four negroes were arrested by
Moberly police after Thompson had
reported that while on his way home
he had been held up and beaten into
insensibility by four blacks He gave
the police a description Of his assail-
ants and a short time later Harry Cas-
sy, a Moberly negro, proprietor OF 4
rooming house, told the police four
men answering the description given
by Thompson were at his home
When arrested all Of the negroes

/ ". ". MEN RESIST kPOSSE
Washington Raneher, Aiding Ex-sot-
diers in Search for SIayers, Shot
Down From Ambush.

Centralia, Wash.-A posse OF log
gers and former soldiers left here
recently for Hannaford Valley, eigh-
teen miles northeast of Centra1ia, to
renew the search for a number OF I.
". w, who are believed to have par
ticipated in the shooting Of members
Of the American Legion during the
Armistice Day parade
Little was made public regarding a
reported clash between two posses
and alleged /. W. W. near the cabin.
Reports said one member, believed to
be John Haney, a rancher, of Tknino,
Wash, fell during the shooting. Later
it was stated Haney was dead and
his body lying near a cabin with the
radicals inside repelling all attempts
OF the former soldiers to reach it.
Bert Bland, believed by the author
tiles here to be the man who shot and
killed Warren Grimm, commander Of
the local American Legion Post, on
Armistiee Day, and man named Han
sen. also suspected Of completely in
the shooting, are reported to be among
the radicals hidden in the Hanna
ford Valley.
~ Hansen was named in an alleged
confession OF l. Roberts, an L w w,
as being among the group Of radicals
that fired on the Centralia paraders-
The posse Of forty men secured the
country in the neighboThood Of the re-
cent fight, and special detail Of men
has been charged with the recovery
Of Haney's body.
Members Of the DOSSe said IL was
probable the recovery of Haney's body
would be attended by further blood
shed because of the fact that he fell
within one hundred yards of Hunters
cabin, wherein the l. w W. were be
heved to be still lurking. The place
is surrounded by dense woods. Every
outlet from the place is being guarded
Capt Lloyd Dysart, local comman-
der of the posse in the district, was di-

GOVERNMENT MAY
FORCE COAL PEACE
Garfield Calls Joint Meeting of
Scale Committees of Min
ers and Operators.
DRASTIC ACTION NECESSARY
Lack Of Progress Toward Settlement
by Conference Causes Administra-
ton to Act-Situation Critical.

Washington.-The government has
stepped to the front to force miners
and operators to negotiate a new wage
agreement and resume work in the
bituminous fields before the country
is in the grip of a coal famine.
Clothed with all of his war time
powers as fuel administrator and act
ing by direct authority of the Presi-
dents Cabinet, DR.. Harry A. Garfield
called joint meeting of scale COM
mittees to give formal notice that
the time had come to resume mining
operations on a normal scale.
The Moment Is Critical.
Meanwhile, word was passed that
the strike situation had reached that
point where action was regarded as
absolutely imperative
There was no evidence presented to
the Cabinet that the scale committees,
TO negotiate new wage agreement,
had made any Roadway. Reports from
the central competitive fields. embrac-
ing the states of Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania,
strongholds of the United Mine Work
ers of America, showed all mines shut
down and not enough coal coming
from non-union plants to meet the nor
NAL demand by several plillion tons
Drastic Action Is Needed.
Other reports from widely separated
sections brought the same story of
rapidly vanishing coal supply, with in
dications that hundreds of industrial
plants would be forced to close short
~ unless coal production was put
back to normal. In the view of many
officials, the situation was critical
enough to demand drastic action.
Steps taken by Kansas to operate
the mines under government author
ity, and fear by both sides that other
states would do likewise, were urged
as a strong reason for quick settle
ment of all wage disputes.
The operators scale committee sent
word to the miners it was not ready
10 meet them in joint session. Com
menting on a statement issued by
their executive committee denying
that the conference sis being held up
because of differences and indecisions
on the part Of the operators" spokes-
men for the operators declared their
policy has been under consideration
in their secret sessions.
