Not alone Is tho state department absolutely In the dark as to the facts in the case, but Jenkins himself, it is aald, does not know how or why he was turned loose. A report from Mexico City stated that the money had been put up by Salter Hansen, a Danish-American banker newly arrived In Mexico, and an impres sion got abroad that perhaps there had been a change of attitude on the part of the United States government. "It is absolutely false," Secretary of State Robert Lansing announced today. "The state department never for a mo ment thought of changing the policy of Jenkins in refusing bail." Jenkins has reported to the state de partment that he was released at mid night December 4, but that he was not advised regarding the reasons for this release.

By William PbJlip Simms Washington, Dec. 6. -(I. N. S.) President Woodrow Wilson's "come back," as the dramatic sickroom coup at the White House has come to be called here, will go a long way to calm the industrial and social unrest raging and on the Increase through out the country during the past few months. This Is the belief of the thinking men of all parties here, expressed in a single paragraph. The president by his action in grant ing an immediate Interview to. the sen. atorial committee appointed to wait on him and hear his opinion of certain top ics, has, at a blow. It is believed, killed all rumors and reports as to his condi tion. Statesmen here generally praise Sen ator Fall for his quick admission of bis utter confidence In the ability of his old political enemy to handle, not only the Mexican crisis, but any other situation which might be brought to his attention. The senator's pronouncement that the president though physically weak, as the result of his long illness, was sur prisingly and perfectly alert mentally, was the finishing stroke in the restora tion of public confidence in the domestic situation, and even his sharpest critics are forced to credit him with that Woman Criticises School Officials in Walkout of Pupils Contending that if the petition of pu pils of the Vernon school, asking for the retention of Mrs. H.

Ackerson, representing the committee, said : "We want to get this bout for Portland. Our present offer is only a starter and if Kearns shows any Inclination to accept the offer we may be able to go stronger.

Dempsey referred the matter to Kearns, saying: "That's up to Jack. I don't care where I fight Just' so I fight That's the main thing with me.
