Reply to Second Sharp Demand
for Kelease of Consul Not
Yet Received llere.
WASHINGTON; Dec. 9 The Mexi
can supreme court has assumed juris
diction over the case of American
Consular Agent William O. Jenkins,
the state department was advised to
day by the American embassy at
Mexico City.
The message Rave no details other
than that the transfer of the case
from the I'nebla state courts had been
made on motion of Jenkins' counsel
and officials indicated that develop
ments thus far had not been such
as to cause any change in the gov
ernment's attitude as outlined in the
recent sharp note to Mexico renew
ing the request for Jenkins' release.
No reply to that note has been re
ceived and administration officers
make no effort to conceal thgir im
patience. Senate Committee Confers.
In refusing the original request of
the United States that Jenkins be re
leased, the Mexican government said
that Jenkins' case was in the hands of
the state courts of I'uebla. which had
charged liim with giving false evi
dence in connection with his kid
naping by bandits and his reiease on
payment of $150,000 ransom and that
ttie executive department was power
less to act.
In Its reply the United States took
the position that under the new Mex
ican constitution the federal supreme
court alone hud jurisdiction over cases
of foreign diplomatic and consular
representatives in Mexico. This also
was the position of Jenkins' counsel.
During the day the senate foreign
relations committee conferred in
formally and decided that the investi
gation of conditions in Mexico by the
committee should be continued both
In Washington and oti the border.
Kail Senda Telegrams.
The members also approved a tele
gram sent by Senator Fall, New Mex
ico, chairman, to H.c T. Oliver, an
American at Mexico City, in which the
senator said President. Wilson had
not indicated his intention not to
break off diplomatic relations with
the Carrunza government.
Senator Fall's telegram was in re
ply to a message from Oliver asking
for some word that would deny state
ments published in the Mexican capi
tul that Fall was trying to bring
about intervention in Mexico. The
telegram follows:
"You are fully authorized to repeat
atid if necessary publish in Mexico
my statement to you that, although
I have been called an intervention
ist. 1 am positively opposed to armed
intervention in Mexico except as an
absolutely last resort, and that my
desire is for some friendly solution
of pending questions between the
Mexican, people and the government
and the people of the United States.
Propaganda is DiMeuHiied. '.
"If you publish this statement I in
sist that you publish also the follow
ing evidence: Truth of above state
ment should be found in the fact that
the committee has today given pub
licity to Carranza's letters of instruc
tions to Berlanga of June 14 and Au
gust 19, 1919, showing his active in
terference in affairs here. Also of
distribution here by Bonillas, ambas
sador, and Mexican consuls of revo
lutionary literature. Also of Carranza
letters directing Miss Galindo to
abuse the United States and particu
larly President Wilson. letters be
tween Mexican officials showing ne
gotiations with Japan. Also 'blue
book, letters and expressions abus
ing President Wilson.
"This action taken to impress upon
the world that in event the Mexican
people thernselves do not bring pres
sure to bear upon their present gov
ernment to cease persecutions of
Americans and British and others and
unwarranted interference in affairs in
other countries and enormous paid
propaganda in this country, abusing
Americans in Mexico, interfering with
their peace and safety and with our
government here, that cjme country
will, in my judgment, be compelled to
intervene, possibly by force of arms,
and restore order out of the chaos
in Mexico.
"1 am exerting every effort to bring
about such a solution that neither
armed Intervention nor war may ever
be necessary. Remember that in the
president's letter to me he does not
indicate that he will not break off
relations and withdraw recognition,
but that he is gravely considering the
committee's memorandum. '
SPECIAL BILLS MULTIPLY
(Continued From First Page.)
cording to information given out here
today.
Another bill, intended to curb prof
iteers and. if possible, reduce the
present cost of living, probably will
so before the legislature at the spe
cial session through the efforts of
Judge Stephen A. Lowell of Pendleton.
Mr. Lowell, who spent today in
Salem, said the steadily increasing
prices are unwarranted and that state
legislation drafted to conform to the
federal statutes regulating the costs
of commodities is badly needed. Al
though not having determined just
what should be incorporated in this
bill, Mr. Lowell said he believed a
commission should be created similar
to that now in operation in the state
of Maine. He would give the commis
sion power to investigate all com
plaints regarding alleged profiteering
and authority to prosecute persons
responsible for overcharging the
public.
Whether the commission would be
composed of men to be selected by
the governor or be made up of three
present state officials is & matter yet
to be determined by Judge Lowell.
It was also reported here today that
Portland labor leaders will come to
the front with a request for a law
carrying an appropriation sufficient
to provide employment for persons out
of work, pending the next regular
session of the lawmakers. A bill sim
. ilar to the one now proposed was in
troduced at the last legislature, but
was defeated after a bitter fight.
Portland visitors at the capitol to
day also made it known that action
already had been taken by legisla
tors of that city to frame a bill even
more drastic than the syndicalism act
now in force in this state. This pro
posed law, it is said, would have for
its purpose the complete crushing of
radicalism and disloyalty in Oregon
and would be submitted to the con
sideration of the legislature at th
special session.
'Appropriations May Be Asked.
Thars is also a move on foot by the
officials of these departments to

deficiency funds to go before the leg:,
islature at the special session and
seek appropriations. It is alleged by
these department heads that in ob
taining appropriations at the special
legislative session they will eliminate
the need of the state paying interest
on deficiency warrants until the next
regular meeting of the lawmakers.
State officials to whom at the last
regular session of the legislature in
creases in salaries were denied are
also on the active list and a number of
them, it is said, will have bills pre
pared asking that their compensation
be advanced' to meet the steadily in
creasing cost of living. Although
many of these salary bills were intro
duced in the legislature for 1919. only
a few of them saw the light of day.
Ei tended Seion Favored.
A number of lawmakers residing In
more distant parts' of the state also
are said to desire the passage of local
legislation, which, in the predictions
of several state officials, may keep
the legislature in session for more
than a week.
Although Governor Olcott is ex
pected to make an urgent request in
his formal call for the special session
that only necessary and timely legis
lation be enacted, he is powerless to
curb the acts of the lawmakers, in the
opinion of local attorneys.
When once called in session, the
legislators are said to be supreme and
have the authority under the law to
transact whatever business they may
desire. In this, however, they are
solely responsible for their own acts
and no blame for a lengthy or ram
pant session can be attached to the
executive.

STATES IX SOUTH KAISli
$75,000,000 FOR WORK.
Every Stale in Convention Reports
Incomplete Returns and Even
Larger Sum Is Expected.
NASHVILLE. Tenn.. Dec. 9. Bap
tists of the IS states composing the
territory of the southern Baptist con
vention today rounded out their cam
paign for $75. 000,000 with which to
carry out a greatly enlarged mis
sionary educational and benevolent
programme by turning in subscrip
tions of $S1, 000.000 with the drive
incomplete in each one of the states.
Dr. L. R. Scarborough, general di
rector, expressed the opinion that in
view of the fact that in no state have
anything like all the churches been
reached as yet, that by the time the
convention meets in Washington next
May the sum will have gone to $100,
000.000. This is one of the largest sums that
has yet been raised for religious pur
poses by a single denomination.
Northern Baptists will soon launch
their campaign for $100,000,000, and
those of Canada will raise $25,000,
000 in the spring.
The allotment to the several causes
is as follows: Foreign missions'. $20.
000.000; home missions, $12,000,000;

'High Over Pyrenees.
LONDON, Dec. 8. Eagle and air
man have met in a contest for the
supremacy of the upper air and the
eagrle has been defeated. The en
counter occurred high above the Pyr
enees recently when an officer was
piloting a single-seater scout ma
chine from Paris to Madrid. The air
man was flying at a rate of 100 miles
an hour when a big eagle soared up
to meet him.
"It was as if the eagle had thrown
me a challenge," says the airman,
"but the laughter died on my lips
when I thought that perchance a
lucky dive by the bird, or maybe a
collision in mid-air would send me
crashing to the rocks bei eath.
"The eagle lumbered around me at
about 90 miles an hour and I throttled
down to the same pace while we took
stock of each other.
"The eagle started to climb and I
went after him yard by yard. Unable
to resist any longer. X opened the
throttle, put my nose down and
looped right over him. He made one
great effort to catch up and with it
his strength failed. His wings gave
a feeble beat and with every appear
ance of a shot plane he nose-dived to
earth. I followed him down a good
100 feet and saw him flatten out and
land near a village in the foothills,
completely exhausted."

PASTOR OFFERS CHURCH
Episcopalian Invites Catholics to
Use Structure for Worsliip.
TACOMA. Wash., Dec. 9. (Special.)
Rev. R. H. McGinnis. pastor of the
Episcopalian church of the Holy Com
munion, has offered his place of wor
ship to Rev. George F. Weibel, S. J.,
pastor of St. Leo's Catholic parish,
while his church is being rebuilt. St.
Leo's was entirely destroyed by fire a
few days ago. Masses were celebrat
ed in the basement of St. Leo's boys'
school, but conditions are overcrowd
ed there and it is probable that the
Episcopal church will be used as a
place for the Catholics to assist at
mass.
It has been decided to build a base
ment church at St. Leo's to serve until
the parish can afford a handsome
superstructure.

TREATY CHANGES REFUSED
Denunciation of Arrgistice at This
Time Held Warrant for Resort
to Military Measures.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. The state
department today made public the
text of the supreme council's notes
dealing with the .peace treaty which
were delivered at Paris yesterday to
Baron von- Lersner, head of the Ger
man delegation, a summary of which
was contained in press dispatches last
night from Pans
In denying the German demands for
modification of the treaty on the sur
render of Germans charged with
crimes against international warfare
and the return of prisoners in com
pensation for the absence of Ameri
can delegations on the commission
until the ratification of the treaty by
the United States, the council in its
first- note warned Germany for "the
last time that until the treaty came
into force a denunciation of the
armistice would be sufficient for the
allies to have r-eeourse to military
measures against Germany.
Claims Have No Basin.
"The suggestion," said the note,
"concerning an alleged right of Ger
many to request (in compensation for
tle absence of American delegations
on the commission until the ratifica
tion of the treaty by the United
States) a modification of the clauses
of the treaty concerning the delivery
of the guilty and the ieturn of the
prisoners of war, has no basis. Under
the terms of the final clauses ot the
treaty, that instrument must enter
Into force as soon as German and
three of tle allied and associated
powers have ratified it; it would be
in vain for Germany to endeavor to
subordinate the entry into force to a
new condition the presenoe of Amer
ican delegates on the commissions.
"The supreme council is of the
opinion that article 221 of the peace
treaty (relative to the return of pris
oners of war) is perfectly explicit and
needs no addition. ...
"The council considers only the ob
jections presented to the demand for
compensation for th destruction of
the German fleet at Scapa Flow and
to the provision of eventual measures
of military coercion formulated by the
allied note of November 1. . . .
Apprehension Held Groundless.
"Before making their, demand the
allied and associated powers examined
this question. They do not share the
apprehensions of the (ierman govern
ment as regards the economic effect
upon the German ports. They main
tain the protocol as it has been
drafted. After having received a
complete report on all floating docks,
floating cranes, tugs and dredges de
manded by the protocol, the allied and
associated powers will make known
their choice, taking into account the
general economic situation of German
ports. Then if the German govern
ment can show that any of the said
demands is of a nature seriously to
prejudice the capacity of Germany to
satisfy her legitimate requirements
for the maintenance of international
trade and navigation or other vital
interests of economic nature of the
same kind, the German government
may present claims to the principal
allied and associated powers who, on
their side, will be ready to examine
them in a spirit of equity after hear
ing the reparations commission."
Aa regards the last paragraph of
the protocol of November 1 the su
preme council is of the opinion that
the signing of the protocol and de
posit of ratifications will determine
the coming into force of the treaty
and consequently the state of peace.
Fleet Destruction Heealled.
The second note dealt with the de
struction of the German fleet at
Scapa Flow. It recalls that in an
earlier note Germany had observed
that the admiral in charge of the fleet
had in no way "the intention of vio
lating the obligations that the Ger
man government had assumed," and
that it also had recognized that in de
stroylng the fleet the admiral com
manding had acted according to a
general order.
"Under the conditions," said the
note, "the principal allied and associ
ated powers consider that the Ger
man government cannot repudiate to
day the responsibility incumbent upon
it or seek through arbitration absolu
tion for acts of war, the settlement of
which belongs to the said powers.
"Consequently the principal allied
and associated powers request the
German government, in conformity
with their note of November 1, last, to
sign without further delay the proto-

he would set up a retail store organ

to raise wages and find the effect
lost in an increasing cost of living.
"I am acting from a Christian
point of view," he said, and added
that having no wish to drive local
merchants out of business he would
give them "a reasonable time to re
adjust their prices."
