Mexico Leaves Envoy's Case
With Civil Authorities.
rpAIL HELD OPPORTUNITY
Xjcnthy Argument Sent to T7. S.
Officials in Attempt to Justify
Imprisonment of Agent.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 27. Mexice
has replied with an. argumentative
diplomatic refusal to the American
government's demand for the imme
diate release of William O. Jenkins,
the consular agent -Imprisoned at
Puebla.
The official note was delivered to
day but not made public. There is no
reason to doubt that It agrees with
the copy given out last night by the
Mexican consul-general at El Paso.
2it comment vu forthcoming to in
dicate how the state department re
gards the answer to what was con
sidered one of the sharpest, warnings
yet sent to Mexico, and neither was
there any Indication-of what the gov
ernment's next step would be.
The Mexican reply, which, according
to its text, was prepared at the di
rection of President Carranza, argues
In the main that the Mexican govern
ment cannot order the release of a
prisoner while his case is under ad
judication in the civil courts of one
of its states, and contends that the
American government's demand
for the consular agent's release had
no foundation or precedent in inter
national law.
New Angles Revealed.
Some new angles of the Mexican
viewpoint on the Jenkins case,
hitherto unpublished in the United
States, are revealed. The tendency
of the Mexican argument is to sepa
rate the Jenkins case into two phases:
First, the situation in which the con
sular agent was kidnaped by bandits
and held for ransom, and last, his
subsequent arrest and imprisonment
by the civil authorities of Puebla on
a charge of having "connived" with
the bandits. The note at hand deals
with the latter phase exclusively.
It points out that Jenkins was first
held under what Is known to the
Mexican penal code as "preventative
imprisonment. This provision covers
a situation in which a person is sus
pected of complicity in a criminal act.
He subsequently was held under a
provision covering "formal" Imprison
ment, which under the Mexican penal
code applies when a magistrate be
lieves there is suf ficent evidence to
establish that a crime has been com
mitted. The allegation against
Jenkins is that he signed conflicting
statements regarding his kidnaping
and therefore was "guilty of falsify
ing judicial declaration."
Jenkins Asked to Pay Ball.
The note says Jenkins has oppor
tunity to be released on bail in the
sum of 1000 pesos, the equivalent to
in American money, if reckoned
in coin rather than Mexican bank
notes, and that Jenkins has refused
to avail himself of it. although he has
Is been requested to do so.
I Recalling that Mexican consuls in
the United States have been impris
oned and that Mexico has never asked
the United States to waive local law
in their cases, the note remarks that
"the Mexican government cannot con
cede to American citizens more rights
than Mexicans enjoy in the United
States."
The Mexican note opens with the
observation that the foundation for
the American government's demand
probably "can only be thepower of
the country that makes It," and as the
conclusion of a lengthy legal argu
ment expresses Its hope that the state
department will withhold Its judg
ment on the Jenkins case until the
civil courts in Puebla have passed
on it.
Text of ote Reeelved.
In the note to Mexico the state de
partment not only - demanded the im
mediate release of Jenkins, bu
. warned Carranza that further moles
tation of the consular agent would
bring relations between the two coun
tries to a precarious point.
As the sequel to one kidnaping close
after another, Jenkins' arrest and im
prisonment by local -Carranza author
ities "Incensed" this government, as
Secretary Lansing's note expresed it.
Whether the government will re
gard the Jenkins case as a climax to
the long list of unsettled questions
with Mexico is not being indicated in
any official way. Technically, a con
sular agent has no diplomatic status
and immunities, and, unlike a diplo
matic agent, is not beyond local laws.
Diplomatists are of the opinion that
pending Its further action the eov-
I ernment here will have to determine
1 y whether the civil prosecution of Jen
S kins is a civil prosecution in good
receiving a speedy and fair trial, with
all preservation of his rights, or
whether he is being "molested" by
the Carranza government while legaJ
Warning Given That Persecution of !
Consular Agent "Will Have Se- j
. r iou a Effect on Relations.
EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 27. Surprise
and exasperation were expressed by
the government, of the United States
in its note to the Mexican govern
ment demanding the release from
prison of William O. Jenkins, Amer
ican consular agent at Puebla, Mex
ico, it became known tonight, follow
ing the publication of the text of the
American note by Andres G. Garcia,
consul-general at El Paso.
Following is the re-translation of
the Spanish version of the note sent
to Mexico by the state department of
the United States:
"American Embassy, Mexico City,
Nov. 20. 1919. To Hllarion Me
dina, sub-secretary of foreign af
fairs, Mexico City Sir: Referring to
previous communications in the case
of the consular agent of the United
States at Puebla, Mexico, William
O. Jenkins, I have the honor of
Informing you that I have re
ceived telegraphic instruction to
notify the secretary of foreign af
fairs of Mexico that in connection
with the losses and injuries already
suffered by Mr. Jenkins as the re
suit of his being kidnaped occa
sioned by the inability of the Mexi
can government to give due protec
tion and his first arrest by Mexican
authorities, the government of the
United States of America is surprised
and exasperated to learn that Mr.
Jenkins again has been arrested.
"His new arrest seems to my gov
ernment, according to the evidence
before it, entirely unjustified and an
arbitrary exercise of public authority.
"The government orders me to add
that the persistent persecution and
subsequent harassing of Mr. Jen
kins cannot but have a very serious
effect on the relations between the
two countries, ..for which the Mexi
can government will be solely responsible.
"Therefore, I am ordered to de
mand the immediate liberation of Mr.
Jenkins.
"Accept, sir, etc.
"GEORGE L. SUMMERLIX,
"Charge d'Affaxres."
The text of the American note, as
well as the reply made by the Mexi
can government, was received from
Mexico City by the consulate-general
here; with instructions to give both
documents publicity.

-To begin with, I should like you
to emphasize in America that they
have not a Just idea of what the
president of a constitutional republic
really is, such as the president oi
the French republic, iioss oi tne
French state has not the power and
liberty of the president of the United
States. He cannot say or do what he
likes. He Is obliged to submit all his
desires to responsible ministers, for
their approbation.
"Now you ask me if I have any in
tention of going to America. At
present, no. I shall not go to Amer
ica as president. If President Wilson
had not been ill I should, perhaps,
.have gone there. Besides, Mr. Wil
son himself, when we discussed the
subject, did not think It was a favor
able occasion for a visit to his coun
try. It would be better, I think, to

pleased to visit America.

"When I am no longer president I
shall certainly do so, but as a tour
ist, for I do not intend to be a can

however.
"What are my plans? Well, natu

activity. I shall offer myself again
either for the chamber or the senate.
I should prefer to be one of the rep

But I must wait for a vacancy, and
really you will agree with me on thi
point, I cannot murder one of my
honorable colleagues in order to take
his place.
My programme? Every parliamen

comprise a plan for the reconstruc

Portland faces a coal shortage, with
not a vestige of hope for relief, other
than strict conservation of fuel by
residents of the city, according to a
report made by Deputy City Attorney
Mackay, in charge of the fuel situa
tion in the city, to Mayor Baker,
For some weeks pact Portland has
received coal from the mines in Utah,
Wyoming and Washington. Notice
has been received that no more coal
shipments can be made to Portland
from Utah and Wyoming, which
leaves the source of the future coal
supply for this city confined to but
one state.
None of the coal mines In Washing
ton are operating to full capacity, and
some not at all, and the coal brought
out' of these mines must be used in
supplying the entire northwest.
Up to the present, according to Mr.
Mackay, all requests made by firms
or Individuals to F. N. Finch, local.
federal fuel administrator, for coal
have been filled.
"Domestic consumers should burn
wood or briquets," said Mr. Mackay
yesterday, "or anything but coal.
Many industries are not equipped to
burn oil, many cannot operate to full
capacity on wood, and many cannot
use wood at all. These industries
must be taken care of. If not, it
means the closing down of plants and
putting men out of employment. I
have before me now applications
from two important industries which.
unless given coal at once, will be com
pelled to shut down.
This is a matter of grave impor
tance to the people of Portland. All
should help. Not only domestic con
sumers and apartment houses, but
ndustrles should burn fuel other than
coal whenever possible."
Customs of Country Require Cap
.ture or Purchase of Bride.
Priest Without Authority.
PARIS, Wednesday, Nov. 26.: (By
the Associated Press.) Because he
had neither captured nor purchased
his bride, according to the traditional
custom of Mongolia, a young French
diplomat assigned to a post in. the
far east, had his marriage with an
American actress annulled by the
French courts yesterday.
The diplomat met the American girl
in Shanghai, and after a short court
ship they eloped to Mongolia, where
they were married before a Belgian
Roman Catholic missionary. The
American girl, according to. her hus
band's story, in a few days deserted
him. The court held the marriage
was not valid, as French law requires
Frenchmen marrying abroad to have
the ceremony performed before a
French diplomatic officer, or "accord
ing to the usages of the country In
which the marriage Is performed."
In Mongolia there are only two
modes of marriage consecrated by
tradition capture and purchase. The
cost of a wife varies from five camels
for a young girl to 30 or 40 camels
for an old widow.

PARIS, Nov. 27. Coal in France Is

tomed to seeing the black "gem"' in
jewelry instead of valuable stones.
Already some Parisiennes are wear

small pieces of. coal replace rich

UNIVERSITY OK WASHINGTON".
Seattle, Nov. 27. (Special.) Eleven
fighting athletes of the northland
earned a decisive victory from Cali
fornia on Denny field today and 7 to 0
tells the numerical result. Fortune,
backed by stellar football, brought
the lone touchdown when the third
quarter was 13 minutes old, and 18,000
spectators were changed at that In
stant to . like number of cheering
maniacs.
Buel Blake punted from midfield to
the shadow of the southern goal posts.
California fumbled. Smith of Washi
ngton recovered and then, from the
16-yard line the attack began. Butler
gained five yards and Fullback Thei
sen with four straight bucks shat
tered the Bearl line for the marker.
Ted Faulk kicked goal:
Previous to that event, during the
entire first half, and for the remain
der of the battle, neither team was
able to score. California's efforts to
pierce the crack Washington line
were without avail, and a likfate
overtook their stock of tricks, al
though Eels, Gimble and Murray of
the invading team unraveled several
substantial gains on passes and
squirming runs.
Panting Duel Begrlms.
The game developed largely into a
punting duel, with Blake of the north
holding the edge in yardage.
The game was played on a field
surfaced with oozy mud. While the
turf was hard the thaw had brought
wfcter to the top and one minute ifter
play was called the men of the oppos
ing teams resembled 22 mammoth
eels.
Fight and determination of both
sides brought about a fast game,
despite a wet, soggy ball and slippery
mud. Ray Eckmann, diminutive half
back, -who bore the burden of the de
posed captain, Ervan Dailey, is to
night -the football hero of Seattle.
With few exceptions he presented his
alma mater with yardage each time
t.e received the ball. His 33-yard
dash after intercepting a delayed
pass, and a wriggling run for 22
yards through the California right
tackle sector, were the spectacles of
the fray.
Eckmann shares his laurels with
Ted Faulk, Bill Grimm, Butler and
Acting Captain George Smith. Faulk.

Marion McLain, graduate manajer
of the University of Oregon, re
ceived a telegram yesterday just be-
fore the Multnomah-Oregon game :
from the committee of the Tourna- j
ment of Roses at Pasadena stating j
that Oregon would be given earnest I
consideration by the committee when
making its selection of a team to
represent the west against one of
the best eastern elevens in the big
New Year's gridiron classic at Pasa
dena. The committee further ad
vised that its selection would depend
chiefly on the outcome of the Uni
versity of California-University of
Washington battle at Seattle- yester
day. Several prominent football experts,
including Sam Pol an, well-known on
the Pacific coast as a football referee,
construed the telegram to mean that
Oregon would be selected unless
California should defeat Washington.
The defeat of California by Wash
ington, if this view is correct, has
eliminated the Bears from further i
consideration, although it was a well-
known fact that a native son eleven
was wanted by the Pasadena com
mittee. This win by Washington ties
Oregon with Washington in the per
centage column in the Pacific Coast
conference, giving each two wins and
one loss.
The win of the lemon-yellow team
over Washington in the opinion of
leading football followers of the
coast and considering the telegram
received by Graduate Manager Marion j
McLain of Oregon, leaves only one
alternative for the committee of
roses at Pasadena, and that is the
selection of the Oregon varsity to
uphold the honors of the west against
the east New Year's day.
Comparative scores of Oregon and
Washington are as follows:

Festivals are not made In a single

endure for a single day in a single
year and are thereafter forgotten.
These are the tinsel, but, as the home
spun philosophers asseverate. Thanks
giving is not one of them, praise be.
For example, when' Portland took a
day off from business, from dawn to
dark yesterday,' the observance of
Thanksgiving in the year 1919 was
structured upon hundreds of happy
holidays of the past, ever since some
folk who were known as the Pilgrims
rendered gratitude to providence that
they had survived in a Bt range land,
a bleak, inhospitable, savage wilder
ness far from the towns and downs
of Kng::ind.
