Des Moines, Ia.-With the release of
. hundred carloads of eastern coal, the
ccal situation in Iowa today was con-
sidered much improved. Schools and
asfew industries classed as non-essen-
tial are the only ones feeling the pinch
OF fuel shortage. The majority of
these are closed. If the delivery of un-
filled orders for eastern coal Is made,
the state fuel board sees no immediate
danger of a fuel famine in Iowa.

 ''The last paragraph of the note which I am answering, and which insists on demanding the immediate release of Jenkins. is based-is founded-on the belief of the American government that the charge of false testimony against Jenkins is unfounded. Nevertheless, the belief of the American government in the in nocence of Jenkins is not suffi- cient according to Mexican laws to esta blish such innocence and avoid legal consequences: and the Mexican government cannot ac- this point of view as a sound base to remove a foreign citizen from the jurisdiction of Mexican tribun- als.
