Supreme Court Of Mexico Has
 Taken Charge ofJenki1s Case
Administration Officials Growing Impatient at De- lay of Carranza In Reply ing to Recent U S. Note Demanding Release of Consular Agent
By Associated Prss

Washingtpn December 2,7 The Mexican surr snie eourt las ssnmeo Jurisdiction over the case Of American Consular Agent William O. Jenkins, the state department was advised today by the American em- bassy al Mexico City
 The message gave no details other than that the transfer of the case from the Puebla state courts had been made on motion of Jenkins personal counsel and officials indicated that developments thus far haI not pesa such as to cause any change in the American governments att titude at outlined in the recent sharp note to Mexico renewing the request for Jen- kins Ieease.
 No reply to that note has been received and aGministralion.offic make no ef- fort :o conceal their impatience. George SummerIin, the American charge at Mex ico City, ca5led the state department yesterday that the reply from Carranza was expected during the day, but so far as the department knew tonight It mad not yot been delivered.
 In refusing the original request of the United States that Jenkins be released, fhe Mexican government said the con- sular agents case was in the hands Of the state courts of Puebla, which had char ged him with giving false evidence in connection with his kidnapping by oan- dts in October and his subsequent re- lease or payment of s150.0oo ransom, and that t!se executive department was power less to act.
 In it's reply the United States took the position that under the new Mexican con stitutiosi the federal supreme court alone had jurisdiction over foreign diplomatic and consular representatives in Mexico. This a,so was the position of Jenkins counsel in arguing the motion that his case be transferred to the supreme court. Jenkins was released from the Puehia nenitantiary last Thursday on 1000 pesos

 COURT JUSTICES
Application for Writ of Err TOT on Appeal From Fede- ral Judge To Be Made
 By Counsel
By Associated prss.

New York, December 9.--Application will be made to Supreme Court Justice Irandeis in Washington tomorrow for q writ of error to bring the cases of Alexander Berkman and Emma Gold man, anarchists. fighting deportation. before the highest judicial tribunal. This announcement was made tonight by Harry Weinherger, their counsel. The petition will be on appeal from the action of Federal Judge Mayer in dismissing writs of habeas corpus.
 If the writ is granted, Weinbergef said, he will apply to the full bench Of the supreme court to release Berx : man and Miss Goldman on bail pend ing argument and final decision. Judge Mayer declined to grant them bail and they are held at Ellis Island awaiting deportation.
 United States District Attorney Calf fey announced today that the govern ment proposed to send radicals held for deportation back to their native lands within two weeks. This will not in clude Berkman and Miss Goldman if Justice Brandeis grants writ of error and 1t may be months before they learn their fate.

Daniels did not himself recom- mend any building programme, with holding this for later presentation.

HINES COMPLETES REPORT

Director General Hines has completed his report to President Wilson on his recent conferences with Chairman Cum mins and Esch of the Senate and House committees respectively. There was no intimation of the information containeu in the report,
 Tn hs attack upon the bill Senator La Toilette opposed immediate return of the railroads to private ownership as inn pra cticabIe, urged five-year extension of government control and charged that 1.-the pending measure was virtually for the benefit of the railroads. The meas lure. he said, would not improve condi- lions that have surrounded railroad op- erations in the past. If the roads arc to be turned back, he contended, it would be better to do it without any legislation than under the provisions of the Cummins 1 bill.
 1 Senator Dial denounced especially the
 l bill,s provisions for a guaranteed return
 1 to the railroad of 51e per cent on tnefr
 | fair value and added that parts of the
 | bill were dreams and illusions as wei
 as impracticable.

 day bv Senator Meyers, Montana elimi-

The board further asserted mat the war having demonstrated that possess sion of fleet powerful enough to pro- .tect it's seaborne commerce is vital to any nation in time of hostilities. the maintenance of such navy by the United States would be "a great pre- yentiye of war, for no nation would lightly provoke hostilities when her own commerce would thereby be inn periled."
 The necessary future strength of the American navy, therefore, must depend. the board said. upon the naval strength of the powers in a position to chal- lenge any legitimate commercial ex- pansion upon the high seas.
 HEAVIER ARMAMENT NEEDED Declaring the greatest naval lesson of the war was the immense advantage of uniformity in speed and armament of first line ships, the board asserted if already was evident that first lins ships of the American navy must have heavier armament than the 12-inch guns of the first dreadnaughts These ships. the board said. were rapidly as- suming the same relationship to the navy's superdreadnaught that the older battleships bear to the first dreadnaughts themselves. with the time approaching when they can no longer be considered as effective first line
