that he. was guilty of the crime ot | falsifying judicial declaration and this has caused his Imprisonment I NeVerth eless, this imprisonment does not of itself signify that MT. Jenkins Is guilty, because such a fact can only be established by a, definite judgment. Your ENcellepcy knows that the criminal proceeding in Mexico in- wolves three classes of Imprisonment preventive, when it is suspected that a person has criminal complicity in an act; formal, when against the accused there is sufficient evidence in the Judgment of the Magistrate to suppose that the accused is guilty ot the crime, and ordinary imprison- ment, which involves a definite sen tence as the penalty provided for the crime and the guilt of the accused duly proved.
 The two first classes of imprison- ment are not legal penalties, but re- strictions to the liberty of the ac- cused, pending investigation. The judgment may also declare the inno- cence of the accused.
 MT. Jenkins has undergone a pre- ventive detention, first, and then a formal Imprisonment of seventy-two hours. It is because of this that he was re-arrested, and this is a fact that seems to be considered by the Government of the United States as persecution or a series of injuries that are inflicted unjustly on the Consul.
 h the course of the trial, at any time, the accused may ask and obtain his liberty on bail. The Mexican law is very liberal about this, since all that is necessary is a request and the production of the sum fixed by the judge. MT. Jenkins refusal to exercise this right, notwithstanding that he was asked to do SO several times, and the fact that the judge has fixed for him as bond the sum of 1000 pesos (s5O0), cannot permit him strictly to call himself the vic-, tim of injuries which he has brought upon himself
 MT. Jenkins, finding himself, then involved in a trial that is being con- ducted according to law. under the jurisdiction of a judge whose proceed ings are open, and arec onstnatly un- der the. vigilance of public opinion which is ihterested in learning the truth of the affair, the Mexican gov ernment finds itself under the neees- sfty of not being able to accede to the

MeXiCO'S Refusal Says Demand Has
 No Legal Principle
Jenkins Under Jurisdiction of Puebla City Cour-ust
 Be Definite Judgment In Case

The text of Mexico's reply to the U. s, note demanding release of Con- sulsr Agent Jenkins is as follows:
 Mexico, Nov. 26, 1919. MT George L. Summerlin, Acting g
 Charge d'Anaires for the United
 States of America:
 I am instructed by the President Of the Republic to answer herewith your note of Nov. 20, which you ad- dressed to the Mexican Government on instructions from the State De- partment of the United States.
 You will no doubt realize the fact that no legal foundation principle or even of reason, is involved in the de- mand for the immediate liberation of MT. Jenkins, who, as you know, is at present under the jurisdiction of a judge of the City of Puebla
 The Mexican Government cannot see what the foundation for such a demand might be. It believes that it can be only the power of the country that makes 1t, although the United States has expressed the de- sire on various occasions that right and justice should be the basis of the diplomacy, and respect for weak countries the basis of it's internation- al relations on the continent.
 The terms of a note which I am an swertng are attributed by my Gov ernment to an imperfect understand ing of our penal laws. The imprison ment Is neither unjust nor arbitrary. as your note states, since MT. Jenkins himself has signed contradictory statements regarding the kidnapping of which he was a victim. The fudge has had ample foundation to suppose
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-11-28
demand for liberation contained in

demand for liberation contained in the note to which I am replying, and 1t has strong reasons, founded on the rights of peoples and considerations of constitutional character.
 The Contention of Mexico. As to the first rights, the govern ment believes no other goverrss h ent can make diplomatic claims for one of it's subjects abroad, save in the case where justice is denied, or where the sentence is notoriously excessive, which is also in intrnational law a denial of justice, and that the prac- tice which has been invaria bly, ob- served has been that of waiting for the tribunals having eognizance of a case involving a foreigner to pro- nounce judgment that, as have said, if 1t were notoriously unjust, would be the only basis for claim.
 As to the constitutional viewpoint, our political constitution establishes as fundamental principle the sepa- rations of the executive power from that of the judicial, and by virtue Of this the Executive does not have the power to interfere in the business of the latter
 
 ious states is guaranteed in our Con stitution, and by the virtue of the fed- erative structure of the Mexican Re- public the Federal power cannot in- tervene in affairs which, like that of MT Jenkins, belong properly and ex- clusivly to the authorities of the State of Puebla" For this reason the Ex- ecutive could not order thes Judge having Jurisdiction of the case to free MT Jenkins, because the latter func- tionary could with reason refuse to obey such an order. The Executive would thus be lacking in the first duty of all Governments duty that he has always tried to observe-that of respecting the laws of the coun- try and causing them to be respected.
 Therefore, such line of conduct, in the opinion of the Mexican govern- ment,% cannot unfavorably affect the relations of friendship which fortu- nately exist between it and the United States-especfa1ly since the matter Is so simple a one-in which by simple request MT. Jenkins could be at liberty, for never should there be cause for friction in the fact that the laws of each are applied equally to citizens and foreigners
 Neither in the United States nor in Mexico can a citizen on trial be. freed by an executive order, and 1t would be strange If an American citizen in Mexico should have more rights than he would have in his own country.
 The Government of Mexico likewise cannot concede to American citizens more rights than Mexicans enjoy in the United States. The American Government seems to labor under the conviction of the absolute innocence of MT. Jenkins. in spite of the fact that the case is in progress of fnves- dgaton. The Government, without tying to claim that Mr Jenkins is guilty, confines itself to submitting the foregoing considerations to the nope that the Department of State will postpone it's judgment until the courts have handed down their de- '1s1ons, with the assurance that in the oosoms of Mexican Judges there does f lot lie the desire to 1njure of prose- | ute MT. Jenkins, but rather that they

ANGELES SON

 FATHERS WORK

New York, Nov. 2s-AIberto An geles, the 22 year old son of General Felipe Angeles, who was executed by a Carranza firing squad at Chihuahua City last Tuesday, hopes to take up the work in which his father died that of establishing in Mexico "a democracy that will respect it's inter national obligations and it's own con stituton,' he said in a statement made public here today.
 As newly created head of the An. geles family, the youth said he must first look to the financial welfare of his mother, sister and younger brother. Once he has accomplished this, he said, he would go to Mexico to take up the fight.
 My fathers death will soIidify the cause for which he fought he said. "I can state my conviction that my fathers friends will not remain in- active"

Early History

This county has played very
important part in the history of
Colorado. In January, 1859, the
first important discovery Of placer
gold in Colorado was made by
George A. Jackson, in the sands
of Chicago creek, near the pre-
sent site of Idaho Springs. Green
Russell and others had found
traces of gold. few months be-
fore, in the sands of the Platte
river, but their discoveries were
of little importance, as the deposits
there were far from their source
and were very small In one week

Tin part) about Clear Creek county,

jackson and his associates wash
ed out 81 800 of gold dust from
the bar where his first discovery
was made. The news of the find
spread rapidly and experienced
miners at once began their search
for the veins from which this
float gold originated. The result
was the discoveries made by John
Gregory and Green Russell in
Gilpin county. From these dis
coveries dates the beginning of
mining in Colorado. In 1860,
the first discovery of silver in
Colorado was made by party of
prospectors near the present site
of Georgetown in Clear Greek
county. Other discoveries of both
gold and silver soon followed and
the population of this district
grew rapidly. The county was
organized iu 1861, soon after
Colorado territory had been form
ed. 1t was named for the stream,
along the course of which most of
the early prospecting was done.
The Georgetown district develop
ed rapidly, being principally a
silver producing area. In the
vicinity of Idaho Springs the
principal value in the compound
ores found in the fissure veins
was gold The total mineral out
put of the county to date has been
in excess of $1O0,0O0,OO0, most of
which has been gold and silver.
