LANSING REFUSES
 TO DISCUSS NOTE
Official Text Has Not Reached the State Department at Wash ington-Senator Fall Says the Jenkins Case Has Fizzled.

Washington, Dec. 17.-The reply of the Mexican government to the second American note renewing the request for the release of Consular Agent Jenkins had not reached the state de- partment tonight, and officials said they had not been advised that it had been handed to George Summerlin, the American charge at the Mexican capitol.
 Secretary Lansing, who refused to read the text as given out in Mexico City last night and transmitted in an Associated Press dispatch, said he would have no comment to make be- fore the official text had been re- ceived.
 Before leaving for the border where he is to resume the investigation into Mexican affairs now being conducted by the Senate committee of which he is chairman, Senator Fall, Republican, New Mexico, issued a statement de- claring the American government had started negotiations in the Jenkins case with an ultimatum and had ended up with a final abandonment of it's position.
 He added that in view of the recent events he had no reason to think that anything further would be done by the government "in the Jenkins case or any other case other than to back wash our hands in invisible water, roll our eyes upward and proclaim peace on earth; good will to bandits"

FIGHT ON TREATY
 TO BE RE-OPENED
Most Senators Are Anxious for Some Kind of Peace Settle ment Quickly-Most Activity Among Democrats.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Expressions that seemed to point toward re- opening of the peace treaty fight with in few weeks were voiced on the Senate floor today when the subject bobbed up in the midst of considera- tion of the railroad bill.
 The symposium of views that went into the record during the brief debate included opinions from virtually all factions of the divided Senate mem- bership, but they all struck note of conciliation. Differing widely in their suggestions for solution, they stood together on the general proposition that politics ought to be forgotten, and that the Senate acting independ- ently of executive opinion, ought to do something promptly to end sus- pense and establish state of peace.
 The discussion affected the trend of negotiations which have been in progress privately among senators for an agreement that would get the question finally out of the way. There was increased activity in that direc- tion during the day and some of the leaders predicted some formal action early in the new year.
 
 Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, a leader in the irreconciliable Republi- can group of treaty opponents, and a member of the foreign relations con- mittee, brought the subject to the floor by another attempt to get before the Senate his two resolutions to es- tablish state of peace. The effort was blocked but he obtained unani- nous consent to send the measure to the committee, where he expects to renew his request for action.
 A plea made by Senator Knox for some form of settlement, was second ed by Senator Smith, of Georgia, a reservation Democrat, who declared the time had come to stop academic discussion of who held up the treaty and get together in give-and-take effort for compromise. Action also was urged by Senator Nelson of Min nesota, one of the mild reservation Republicans, and by Senator Myers of Montana, a Democrat who voted last session for some reservations and also for unreserved ratification.
 In the compromise negotiations dis cussed in private conferences the prin- cipal activity seemed to be among the Democrats, the Republican reserva- tionists indicating that they awaited some concrete proposal from the other side of the aisle. The Demo- cratic managers were hopeful that such an agreement soon would be re- ported, but they predicted it would not take tangible form until after the holidays.

SENATE IS SEEKING FACTS ABOUT COAL
Committee Calls Attornye Gen. eral to Describe Settlement Basis-Federal Grand Jury is at Work.

Washington, Dec IT, Attorney General Palmer will appear before the Senate committee Investigating the coal situation Friday or Saturday, Chairman Frelinghuysen announced tonight after brief session of the committee.
 The attorney general, it was indi- cated, will be asked to explain the basis of the agreement which finally ended the strike of bituminous coal miners and caused the resignation of former Fuel Administrator Garfield. MT. Palmer, it was said tonight at the department of justice, would leave Chicago late tonight for Washington, having cancelled his speaking engage ments in Little Rock and Oklahoma City.
 J. w. Dawson, an expert on coal production and costs, who was the only witness heard today by the Sen ate committee, expressed the belief that the present wages paid miners were sufficient, and that "any in- creases granted them must eventually come from the public's pocket"
 Coal operators are not making big profits this year," MT. Dawson said, land in my opinion they cannot en- tirely absorb the IA per cent increase which the government has already al- lowed"
 Senator Frelinghuysen asked the witness to suggest method of avoid ing nationwide strikes such as that just ended.
 President Wilson and Attorney General Palmer took the best method when they started out to make the miners union obey the Lever law and call off the strike," Dawson replied.
 "But later they reversed that posi- tion," Senator Frelinghuysen inter jected.
 Unfortunately yes," Dawson res- bonded.
 Indianapolis, Dec. 17.-The federal grand jury, summoned by United States District Judge A. B. Anderson 1 to investigate alleged violations of the Lever act and antitrust laws by oper- ators and miners, and charges of con- spiracy by both, in connection with the strike of bituminous coal miners, was impaneled this morning. Judge Anderson's charge to the judge was lengthy and, in concluding. he said:
 "Let your investigation in all these matters be thorough and searching, and let your conclusions be full an- swer to question that has been up- permost in the minds of the citizens for the past few weeks" All the new magazines at Guthrie's; phone 101.
