SHARP CENSURE GIVEN
MEXICO; JENKINS NOW
REPORTED RELEASED
FUEL COMMITTEES
ARE IN CONTROL
In Many Western Communities and in
Some Places Schools Have
Been Closed.

Chicago, Dec Further stringent
regulations for conservation of fuel
made necessary by the strike of btu
minous coal miners which have now
been idle a month, were in effect to-
day over practically the entire country
between Ohio and the Rocky mountains
and from Canada to the Gulf of Mex
leo.
Regional fuel committees took con-
troll of coal stocks in many states and
non essential industries continued to
close down because of the lack of fuel
while the hours for operating stores,
theatres and office buildings were cur
tailed.
In Kansas City, Mo-, and Omaha and
Reports from the large bituminous
fields of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
Pennsylvania, gave 10 assurance that
the union miners intended to accept thn
offer of an increase of IA per cent IL
wages made by the federal fuel admit
istration. Neither was there any in.
dieation that local settlements would
be effected between miners and oper-
ators.
In West Virginia, union officials as
serted that most organized mines in
district No. II, which includes the Kan
awha fields, would be indie to-day. The
operators, however claimed that the
output in the new river district wonid
be increased during the week
Governors of producing states,
who met here yesterday in response to
call issued by Governor Gardner of
Missouri, to discuss means for ending
the threatened coal famine, recon-
mended to the federal government that
fuel administrator be appointed in
each state to have full charge OF dis
tribution Of all coal available for his
state. 1t was also recommended that
all coal mined and in stock be distrib-
uted equally among the 4S states on
the basis of their needs developed dur
ing the war, regardless OF the state
where mined.
The governors left for their homes
to-day after agreeing to convene again
at ST. Louis next Sunday.
The calling off early to-day of the
strike Of railway switchmen, which be-
gan at Kansas City Saturday, Il was
stated, would greatly relieve the coal
situation in that city and in other
parts of the southwest.
Plans for operating the coal mines Of
Kansas under receivership of the
state supreme court went forward to-
day and Governor Allen announced that
actual digging by volunteers would be-
gin tomorrow. Twelve hundred Kan,
sas National Guardsmen and COO fed
eral troops were in the Pittsburg min
ing district to-day and it was an
nounced that all volunteer workers
would be protected.
In Chicago, r. w Proctor, chair
man OF the regional coal committee,
told the $50 coal dealers of the city
that they did not own pound Of coal,
az he had taken control and would dis
tribute it,

fort" on the Part of Mex
lean Government to En-
snare Jenkins in Legal
Intricacies to Divert the
Attention from Mexico's
Incapacity.

El Paso. Dec. I.-An unverifed report
was current here to-day that William
o. Jenkins, American consular agent at
Puebla, Mexico, had been liberated from
Jail Andres G. Garcia, consul general
for Mexico here, said he had heard the
report, but no verifcaton of the ru-
NOR had been received.
Washington, d. G., Dec Renewing
its request for the immediate release
of Consular Agent jenkins, imprisoned
at Puebla, the latest American note to
Mexico, made public here to-day, ar
raigns the Mexican governments con
duct in severe terms and characterizes
it as a studied attempt to ensnare the
American consular agent in the intrica-
cies of legal proceedings. No ultima
tum was served and no indication was
given of what the American govern
ment's course would be if Jenkins is
not immediately released,
The note says the only conclusion
this government can draw is that Mex
leo has made STUDIED effort" to en-
snare Jenkins in legal intrkcacies to di-
vert the attention of both the Ameri-
can government and people from the
fact that the second largest city in
Mexico is overrlm by bandits.
1T appears" says the note, "to have
been the purpose of the Mexican gov
ernment TO assume willful indf.
