Coupled with the warning was a

Official repoijfs that Jenkins had

, reached the stfate department today
from the American embassy at Mex
ico City which Was Instructed to
transmit a note demanding his re
lease. Jenkins was first arrested early
this month on the charge of collu
sion with the bandits who took him
from his home at Puebla on October
19, but he was repeased after re
maining In the penitentiary two
hours. He was restricted to his
home however, and on Tuesday was
re-arrested on complaint that he had
threatened peons who had given evi
dence on which the state authorities
acted in first taking him into cus
tody. - So far as the department has been
advised he still is held in custody and
because f bis weakened physical
condition resulting from the hard
ships endured during the week the
bandits held him in the mountains
of Puebla state, officials feared long
Imprisonment might permanently af

home In Tennessee and If necessary,
come to Washington to present bis
claims to officials for assistance in

resentative Davis of Tennessee. Writ
ing on November 4, Jenkins gave a
graphic description of his caoture by
and experience with the bandits who.
he said, told him that, the principal
, object in kidnapping him was to
"demonstrate that the present gov
rament of Mexico was not able to
give guarantees (to foreigners) not
even in the second city of the coun
try." DRY ACT IS TO

wrote a reply acceding to th? may
or's wishes. Kreisler himself did
not -put in an appearance.
The first move against Kreisler's
appearance was made several days
