MEXICO TO CANCEL
JENKINS PAPERS
State Department Confirms
Report of Plan to With
draw Exequatur.

CITY OF MEXICO. February A.
Formalities necessary to cancel
official recognition of William O.
Jenkins, United States consular agent
at Puebla, are being carried out
by the Mexican foreign office, accord
ing to report published by Ell Demo-
crata yesterday.
Mr.. jenkins, who was kidnapped
and held for ransom by Federico
Cordoba, the bandit, last October, was
later charged by the Puebla state
authorities with having connived with
the outlaws to bring about his abduc-
tion. The case has been transferred
to the federal court. where it is now
pending.
State Department officials confirm the
report that the Mexican government has
decided to cancel the exequatur of Will
liam y. jenkins as United States consul
lar agent at Puebla on the general
ground that he is persona non grata to
the Mexican officials with whom he has
relations. jenkins was captured by
bandits last summer and released on the
payment Of heavy ransom. Subsequent
ly he was arrested by the Mexican au-
thorities on the charge that he was sup
plying the bandits with money and mu-
nitions for use against the Carranza
regime. The United States government
demanded his release from arrest and
the Mexican government ignored the de-
mand. While the question was under
discussion Jenkins was released from
Jail by the local authorities at Puebla
on bail furnished by J. Salter Hansen
of New York. Jenkins repudiated the
action of Hansen and asked to be sent
back to Jail until his governments de-
mand was complied with. In the mean
time, the authorities at Mexico CITY
decided that the charges against jenkins
should be heard in federal court in
stead of in the local court at Puebla
So far as known no date has been fixed
for the trial. Meanwhile jenkins is out
on bail.
At the State Department it was said
today that the Mexican government
was acting entirely within it's legal
rights in cancelinS the exequatur of
Jenkins. and that this government could
not question its action. 1t was made
clear, however, that jenkins interests
as an American citizen will be protected
fully without regard to his Separation
from the American consular service.

How a man could be completely aloof
from the world. actually invisible to
mortal view save to a limited group
of family and friendly attendants. and
yet the focal point of an intense lime
light of public interest, would seem
paradoxical. Such is the case, how
ever, with President Wilson at this time.
Every democratic politician of high or
low degree is straining his gaze anxious
ly at that mystery-shrouded figure said
to be glimpSed occasionally on the White
House lawns and other times visioned
as brooding great political thoughts as
he ponders before his study fire.

ers of the party wonder. and what has

For. say what you will. the politicians
will not allow themselves to be con-
vinted that President Wilson is out of
the game. In the first place. they don't
want to think it, because he is the main
stay of party organization and regu-
larity and the high bulwark against
political buccaneers who would seek to
board the old craft, cutlasses in teeth.

Viewpoints at Variance.
Once in awhile some one in a group
of democrats will venture the rash
assertion about the President, "Oh.
he is through! In jiffy the others
will fall on the prophesier in chorus.
Don't you believe it. He'll be there
with bells on at the proper time"
Let no one think that the party
leaders are going ahead with plans
for the selection of a candidate re-
gardless of the President. They do
not dare to put him in the discard.
They know that at any minute he
could sweep down their works like a
house of cards. In point of fact, they
are not going along at all to any no
ticeable degree. For the most part
they are marking time until the hour
when the White House sphinx shall
