to Mexico City by the State Depart
ment.

night by his father, John w. jenkins,
of Ranford, Calf. in brief telegram
from Miss Annie jenkins, sister of the
consular agent.
The message read ,.
''Oscar was rescued this afternoon.
Advise relatives
Although jenkins was kidnapped Oc-
tober 10 news of his detention did not
reach his family until last Wed =,
nesday, when a telegram was received
from his sister. Later word came from
her that besides kidnapping MI Jen-
kins the bandits who held him for ran =
som had also plundered his ranch hohe'
securing $50 600. -,
II was the second time the consular
agent had been held for ransom, his
relatives having been forced to pay
S25 900 to a band of bandits hve years
ago under somewhat similar clrcum
stances.
Ransom Fund Proposed
Senator Myers. Montana, today had
the Senate defer action on his resolu-
tion calling on the President to use the
armed forces of the United States to
rescue jenkins and punish his captors.
Mr.. Myers said he desired to await
confirmation of the release of jenkins
before pressing for action.
Senator Poindexter, Republican
Washington, suggested that Congress
provide an appropriation to b'
used in ransoming Americans captured
from time to time by Mexicans.
