Washington, Feb. 24.-The mys.
terry surrounding the dismissal oi
Robert Lansing as secretary OF state
seemed near solution yesterday wher
it was learned that a letter first flee
at the White House and later sent tc
the State department declares posi-
lively that he threatened Mexico
with war unless that country com,
Piled with our demands This was
in direct opposition to the Mexican
policies laid down by President Vii
son.
The letter states that the threat
was contained in a verbal note de.
livered by A. c. Kirk. confidential
assistant to the secretary of state
who informed the Mexican ambassa,
dor that decision had been reached
The writer, J. NJ. Ostrey, formerly
confidential stenographer to Secrc-
tary Lansing and now superintend-
ent of schools at Dodge, Neb., re-
lates that he transcribed the steno-
graphic notes apparently taken at the
time Americas decision was an
nounced to Mexico.
Threat Made in 1919.
This remarkable incident is TN
derstood to have occurred in De
cenber, 1910, shortly after w. 0.
Jenkins, United States consular
agent, was kidnapped at Puebla, Mex
ico, and the issue thus created had
become most serious one between
the United States and the Carranza
government. At the same time Amer
lean oil interests were making strenu-
Gus bjection to their treatment by
Carranza.
By a somewhat curious coinci-
dence. everybody connected with the
delivery of this verbal note or who
had immediate knowledge of it, has
either been compelled to resign or
has been sent as far away from
Washington as it was possible to go.
Mr. Lansing himself was forced to
resign February IS, 1920. Mr.. Ostrey
says he was Immediately removed as
Mr.. Lansing's confidential secretary
and forbidden access to the files OF
the State department and later was
compelled TO leave the department
altogether. Mr.. Kirk was made sec
rotary to the embassy at Toxic and
sent 10 Japan.
Protested at Treatment.
Curiously enough, Mr. Ostrey's let

Tumulty, to whim it was addressed,
with the Lansing note, which he ap-

Lincoln, Feb. 24.-(Speciai)--
More than S2,500,000 was Topped off
Governor McKelvie's requested budg
ct by the finance committee of the
state legislature, which introduced
appropriation Bills into the lover
house today totaliug S2l .2S477+45
This is an increase OF $95,85992 for
the same activities for the last two
years, for the erection OF buildings,
payment OF salaries and maintenance
of state institutions.
, Gambling on promises that prices
OF materials would be reduced in hhe
next period Of two years, the COM
mittec cut general maintenance OF
state institutions IS per cent through
out the budget.
The governors budget called Tor
approximately S26.000,000. The cut
was made, however, on only Sl4,-
066.70l 81, the difference between this
and the governors budget depending
on $935000 salaries now being fixed
by the legislature.
Some Requests Ignored.
Requests for funds by the child
welfare commission were ignored by
the finance committee, as well as the
supreme court appropriation, except
ior salaries up 10 September.
Appropriations sought for the un.-
vcrsity memoria. gymnasium, hog
cholera and coal and gas field de
velopment were ignored by the COM
mittee.
But an appropriation OF ,$S0O,0OO
for a state rclormatory Tor men,
asked by the governor Ill his
message, was allowed.
A new nurses home at the Uni
vcrsity hospital IN Omaha, to cost
100000, was also allowed.
Salary Increases.
Numerous salary increases are
found in the bills offered by the
committee. which are not included
in salary bills now before the legis-
lature.
An effort to equalze Salaries OF
lesser officials under code secretaries
with salaries OF lesser officials un-
der constitutional officers, is given
as tho reason for these increases.
An appropriation for $4,000 for a
new linotype machine, and $1,000 for
a new Job press at the Nebraska
School for the Deaf in Omaha is in
cluded in the bills. and $25,0O0 for
new kitchen equipment and $50,000
