CLAIM JENKINS IS
NOT EXEMPT FROM
MEX. JURISDICTION

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3-The Mexican
embassy made public tonight dispatch
from Hilario Medina. suh-sccrctary Of
foreign affairs. rcitCratinE that Ameri-
can Consular Agent Jenkins. under ar
rest Mt Pucbla, was not exempt from
Jurisdiction of Mexican courts because
of his official position.
The message from Medina follows:
For your information and publiCa
ton, I quote statement issued to the
press: L deem 1t convenient to make
public that Mr.. Jenkins, consular agent
of the United States in the city of
Pucbla, Mexico, Is not exempt from tn"
jurisdiction Of Mexican courts, as tn"
fact of being n consular agent does not
confer immunity upon him. AS gen
cral rule, the consulS do not ENJOY any
more immunities than those provided i'll
the treaties or those granted them by
the laws Of the country in which they
perform their duties. The treaty or
nmity and commerce concluded with the
united States on February 2, 1SiS. con-
tains no provision in This regard. but
declares in force the provisions of tho
treaty Of amity and commerce conclud-
ed with that power in April, 1881, which
not having been induced by either of
the parties. must be regarded rs still in
force This latter treaty in its articles
q. 20 and % which provide tn" "stab-
llshment Of consular agents do not stir-
uIatc any immunity in their favor. In
article 81 II is agreed that
rs soon hereafter as circumstances VIII
permit, to form n consular convention.
which shall declare specifically tn" pow
crs and immUritlcS of the ConSuls and
vice consuls &C IN" respective parties.
This consular convention has not
been carried out. and therefore. there is
no special agreement by which the con-
sular agents Of The Uuit"d States may
enjoy immunity In Mexico. The law "f
November 26. 1859. promulgated by
President JUarcz. regulating tn" sjtuH-
ton Of foreign Consuls in Mexico. now
In force in its articles 81 and - reads
tcxtually as follows:

WELCOME HOME
FOR MATAWAN
VIII Be Held During Week Of
Oct. 13--WOrk Started
Bu speoiaI correspondent.

By Special Correspondent.
MATAWAN, Sept. 17:-Matawan's
Welcome Home to the boys of this
borough and township who fought In
the great world wal will be held
during the week of October 10. The
exact day was not decided upon at
the joint meeting of the Borough
Council and the Home Defense
League last night, but from all indi-
cations at the present time the affair
may be held on Wednesday, the 18th.
Although nothing definite was ac-
complished last night several com
mittees were appointed to obtain
data concerning the celebration. The
Midway Hose Company, which Is to
hold a fair during the week, has
agreed TO serve the dinner, and COM
mittees were appointed to obtain
tents and bands for the affair. As
yet no arrangements were made for
q parade as it vas not known wheth-
er or not the boys desired to march.
1t was suggested that IL they did not
care to parade they might desire to
sit in a ~grandstand and have the
t~ownspeople do the marching, which
has proved so successful In other
communities.
1t was agreed to hold another
meeting of the council and home de-
Tense members next Monday night at
which time the committees Will re-
port and a poll of the ex~-service men
will be obtained as to their desire
for a parade.
