WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. Reply of
the Mexican government to the second
American note renewing the request
for the release of Consular Agent
Jenkins had not reached the state de
partment tonight and official said
they had not been advised that it had
been handed to George Summerlin,
the American charge at Mexico City.
Secretary Lansing refused to read
the text as given out in Mexico City
last night and transmitted in an As
sociated Press dispatch, and said he
would not comment' before the offi
cial text had been received.
Before leaving for the border, where
he is to resume the investigation into
Mexican affairs by the senate com
mittee, of which he is chairman, Sen
ator Fall, republican, New Mexico,
issued a statement declaring the
American government had started ne
gotiations in tne Jenkins case with
an ultimatum and had ended up with
a final abandonment of its position.
He added that he had no reason
to think that anything further would
be done by the government "in the
Jenkins case or any other case other
than to back, wash our hands in in
visible water, roll our eyes upward
and proclaim "peace on earth, good
will to bandits.'"
Senator Fall referred to a number
of acts which he said were charged
to Carranza and declared that tha
Mexican president knew the United
States was thoroughly familiar with
them.
"Carranza knows fiirthAr'" Ti cai
"that we have submitted to very
possible indignity, outrage and insult
and that he has capitalized his po
sition in offering such outrage and
insult in maintaining himself not only
in lwexico, out through Latin-Amer
ica, as the one man who dares to in
suit tne united states itself and to
otter personal insults with impunity
lo me presiaent and other depart
ments of the government of th.
United States."

Members of the Aero club of Ore

has reappeared in San Francisco with
the announcement that ho ...n
attempt an airplane flight around the
world. Until several weeks ago, and
following the general demobilization
Gorden resided at 1165 East Pine

"I have never heard of Gorden. and
L-uuaeiiuenny Know nothing whatever

must have comfortable places where
they can stay. The need is not so
much Just now for hotels in the cities
as in the various mountain and lake
resorts, nor would it be necessary to
build such hotels on any highly ex
pensive basis. Comfortable buildings
with a good view as a background,
possibly the chalet plan of the Gla
cier national park, would work out
as a beginning. The wonderful re
sults of good hotels in the mountain
scenic resorts have been demon
strated many times by the Canadian
Pacific. Outside of Mount Rainier, I
don't believe there is what may be
called a first-class hotel, ample for
'4IB tourist. accommodations, in
either Oregon or AVashington."
Mr. McMurray, who is chairman of
a Chamber of Commerce committee
at Portland, will take up the work of
launching the mountain resort hotel
plan at the initial meeting at Port
land tomorrow.

use of these pleasant, harmless and eco

any drugpist or the makers, the Marmola

a decidedly economical price considering
