Mexican Paper
Deals With the
Jenkins Episode

LAREDO, Tex, Dec. S.-Forty
Mexicans of Santa Maria and San
Bernabe, held as witnesses in con-
nection with the abduction of William
0. Jenkins, American consular agent
at Puebla, Mexico, will be released at
once "as there is no proof against
them Of wrong doing" according to
the Mexico City newspaper Excelsior.
The newspaper, copy of which
reached here today, prints Puebla
dispatch under date of last Friday
giving this information. The contem
plated action, the newspaper says,
caused Jenkins to say in an indig-
nant tone that he would have the gull
ty persons punished if it took all his
capital, including those who had
threatened the natives to make them
testify against him."
Jenkins, the newspaper account
adds, was notified at midnight Thurs
day that he was free 'by order of the
judge" and was released without any
further explanation. Excelsior de-
clares it is rumored the Judge will be
removed and succeeded by Judge Guz-
man of Cholula.
A dispatch from Atlixco, Puebla,
published in Mexico City, reports the
surrender of many rebel officers to
Gen. Pablo Gonzales, Carranza army
commander. Those who have sur
include Juan Ubera, one of
the men accused Of having abducted
Jenkins. 1t is claimed the entire state
of Puebla is now pacified.

Trips to Planets
A Possibility

CHICAGO, H., Dec. Strips to
the planets are possibility, Prof.
George de bothezat, Russian aeronau-
teal engineer, told the Western So
