SUPREME COURT
Early Decision Is Expected-In
Arguments Elihu Root At
tacks CoHsfitutionaEty of the
2 Measure.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Validity of
Colstead act for its enforcement were
put squarely before the supreme
court today in closing arguments by
Elihu Root attacking the measures
which were defended by Solicitor Cen
eral King and Assistant Attorney Gen
Frierson. No intimation was given OF
when an opinion might be rendered,
but early determination is considered
probable.
Replying to government arguments
relative to congress- intent in passing
the wartime prohibition act, Mr.. Root
quoted statement made in the senate
by Senator Sheppard, of Texas, prohi-
bition leader to the effect that the act
was designed to remain in effect only
during hostilities and pending mobili-
zation.
The court cannot close it's eyes to
the facts made known to all the world
by the highest evidence in this mat
ter said Mr.. Root, land not deter
mine whether by those facts congress
has the constitutional right to over
ride the rights of the states given
by the tenth amendment"
BY permitting the liquor interests

eighteenth constitutional amendment
came, t'very near being a contract"
This year of grace he added, was
allowed to congress and the. states
even when the war was flagrant and
the demands for the highest rxer-
else OF power was at its height"
But when this war is over, this Vol
stead act takes away this time of
grace" said Mr.. Root adding that even
during this specified period the LIQUOR
interests, .'have been heckled and
harried by statutes for the real motive
OF advancing prohibition for a few
months before the constitutional
amendment was to take effect"
God grant he concluded, that the
constitution may remain effective for
the imposition of limits on that Off
cial power which if not limited by the
courts of the country will destroy lib
erty as effectively as German autoc-
racy has done.s
The fact remains" Assistant At
torney General Frierson said, follow

in state of war and the solemn duty
rests on congress to keep the coun-

FULL TEXT OF NOTE

Further MOlestatiOn of Ameri-
can Agency at Puebla Would
Seriously Affect Relations,
Mexico Is Warned.

Washington. Nov. 21.-State depart
ment officials tonight awaited reply
to the note of warning to the Mexi-
can government. that further molesta-
ton of American Consular Agent Jen-
kins, of Puebla, who has been arrest
ed twice in connection with his recent
abduction by bandits, would seriously
affect the relations between the Unit
ed States and Mexico.
While the text of the American
governments communication has not
been made public a summary pub
lished by the state department indi-
Gated it was one of the sharpest ever
sent the Carranza government. 1t is
said the United States was both sur
prised and incensed', to learn of the
reimprisonment of Jenkins and de-
manded his immediate release.
So far as made known, no report re-
garding Jenkins had reached the de-
partment today from the embassy at
Mexico City but officials believed if
he had not been released, he soon
would be as a result of the state de-
partment's demand.
State department officials in dis
cussing the Mexican situation today
disclosed that three years ago the army

-sJ,o00 men and three years would be
required for complete Intervention in
Mexico by the United States
Officials did not say what the pres
ent estimate of the general staff was.
but it was understood to be less than
that proposed before the world war,

Jenkins. American consular agent at
Puebla who was rearrested last Tues

DEADLOCK MAY
BE BROKEN BY
WILSON'S PLAN
of Labor Joins Wage
Scale Conference and Suggests
Increase i'm Pay Said to Ap-
prOximate 81 Per Cent.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Secertary of
Labor Wilson stepped to the front
again tonight in an effort to bring the
miners and operators together after
a proposal by each side had been re-
jected and the slate wiped clean.
Wilson is said to have formally pre-
sented a definite proposal for settle
ment of wage disputes which would
send the bituminous miners back to
work. but its nature was undisclosed.
1t was generally believed, however,
that he suggested a wage increase OF
about so per cent.
Both sides united IN asking Secre-
tary Wilson to join the joint sub
scale committees after the miners had
definitely rejected 90 per cent wage
advance, and the operators had finally
refused to agree to counter proposal
from the workers of 40 per cent in
crease, a seven-hour day, and six days
week, with a half holiday on Satur-
days.
Secretary Wilson said progress had
been made and he would meet the
noon.
Knoxville. Nov. 21-Miners still out
in District No. 10. Kentucky and
thousand. We're again ordered to re-
turn to work by union officials In let
tiers sent out tonight, on instructions
from the district executive board.
Columbus, Ohio Nov. 21.-Recog-
nizing the necessity for some decisive
action which will place the coal mines
in full action, Governor Cox today
telegraphed Governor Harding, Of
Iowa, that if the federal government
does not intervene and operate tie
mines in case of the failure of the
miners and operators to reach an
agreement in the Washington con-
ference. states will have to take charge
of the mines.
Governor Cox's telegram was in re.
sponse to Governor Harding's tele-
gram to the governors of coal pro-
ducing states suggesting state gov
ernments in the coal producing states
take control of the situation at once.
Governor Cox let it be known he
believes ne federal government
should intervene first but if the fed
eral government does not take charge
of the mines and operate them, then
the states must act.
Indianapolis, Ind. Nov. 21.-Any at
tempt on the part of governors OF
states affected by the strike of btu
minous coal miners to seize the mines
might complicate the negotiations now
under way between the miners and
operators at Washington, and for that
reason Governor James F. Goodrich.
OF Indiana, does not favor such a move
at this time.
The Indiana executive made this re-
reply to telegram from Governor
Harding, of Iowa, who suggested the
governors of coal producing states
unite to seize the mines Governor
Goodrich suggested it would be better
to await the outcome of the confer
ence in Washington before taking any
drastic step.
Charleston, w. Va, Nov Glow
ernor Cornwell today replied to the
suggestion of Governor Harding, of
Iowa, that coal producing states take
over and operate the mines closed by
the strike with the assertion that suc,s
a proposal probably would be well
coined by radical leaders who planned
the steel and coal strikes and expected
a general strike TO put them across"
