YANKEE WOMAN WINS
LADY ASToR ELECTED TO COM.
MONS IN ENGLAND.
Has Clear Majority Over Her oppo-
nents-FormerIy Was Miss
Mamie Langhorne.

Plymouth, Nov. 29.-Lady Astor.
American-born wife of Viscount Aston,
was elected to parliament from the
Sutton division of Plymouth in the bal
loting of November Is.
The result was announced after a
count of the ballots here this after
noon.
The vote stood:
Lady Aston, unionist, 14,494.
w. T. Gay, labor, 1922.
Isaac Foot, liberal, 4,139.
The ceremony attending the count
ing of the ballots began in the his
toric Plymouth guildhall at $50
O'Clock.
Lady Astor's philanthropic endeav-
ors here during the last ten years
brought her considerable support, as
well as her espousal of antiliquor leg
islation, which won her large vote
among the women. She drove about
the constituency on a speechmaking
tour every afternoon and evening.
The campaign attracted wide atten-
ton, due in large measure to Lady
Astor's American nativity, her uncon-
ventional electioneering methods ind
her barbed and witty replies to ques-
TONERS. Mrs. Lloyd George and other
prominent political personages spoke
in her behalf.
Lady Astor became a candidate aft
err the death of Viscount Astor Of
Hever hail had left her husband heir
to the title and necessitated his re-
tirement from the lower house of par
lament.
Lady Astor. who was formerly Miss
Mamie Langhorne of Virginia, is the
mother of six children, fact of which
she boosted on one occasion during her
canvass.

tied to the government of Mexico, Is
imprisoned for rendering false judi
cial testimony" in connection with the
abduction Of which he was the victim.
This is the substance of the Mexican
note.
My government is pleased to learn
that the Imprisonment of Jenkins
stands on this single and well-defned
ground, and that the reported state
ments that Mexican authorities had
caused the Imprisonment of Jenkins
because of collision with his abduct-
tors and rebellion against the state
are not seriously regarded by your
government.
Victim, Not Outlaws. Prosecuted.
In whose interest, then, is the charge
of false swearing brought against
jenkins? His abductors? He is in
equity the complainant in the case OF
his abduction, not the defendant, as
the Mexican government now makes
him out to be.
The Mexican government is prose-
cutting the victim instead of the per-
petrators of the crime. While the
outlaws who endangered his life and
took away large part of his fortune,
enjoy their freedom, the Mexican au-
thorities now deprive jenkins of his
liberty.
The Mexican government can not
expect the United States to accept in
the grave circumstances of this case
such bare, unsupported statement as
valid excuse for the Imprisonment of
an American consular officer.
In view of the considerations which
have been set forth and in view par
ticularly of the belief of my govern
ment that the charge against Jenkins
of deliberate false swearing is I'M
founded, the government of the United
States must renew it's request for the
immediate release of Consular Agent
Jenkins from further Imprisonment.
(Signed) LANSING.
Believed to Be Final Warning.
State department officials declined
to discuss the note, but in other quar-
tiers the belief was expressed that it
emphaticaIly states the views of this
government and indicates it will be
the last on the subject as Secretary
Lansing already has stated officials
here have no inclination to go into a
long diplomatic discussion of techni-
calities.
