Jenkins, the American consular agent imprisoned at Puebla, and blunt ly charges Carranza with attempting to becloud the issue. ^ In the sharpest language yet ad dressed to the Carranza goveammeht, and probably more pointed than one government usually addressed to an other in a formal diplomatic commun ication,' the United Stales says It re gards Mexico’s plan of judicial rea sons for not releasing Jenkins as ‘ mere excuses,” and gives notice that it will not be drawn away from the main Tacts and iatfr^ digcqpyinp ^ _ NEW K.

THOMPSOWr- 20-td County Auditor. 5 “irrelevant and unimpoftant matters.” The attitude of the Carranza gov ernment in the matter, the note says, has been to “assume a wilful indif ference to the feelings of the Amer ican people” and the conclusion drawn by the government is that Mexico has sought to divert the attention of the American people and the Mexican people as well - from the fact that Puebla, second largest city in Mexico, is overrun by bandits while the civil authorities are negligent. No ultimatum was srved, and no time was given In which this gAvern- ment expects Jenkins to be released and neither was there any statement in the note as to what the course of the American government would be if the renewed request for his release is denied. After a conference with Secretary Lansing late today, Chairman Por ter indicated that he was in thor ough accord with the government’s present policy in dealing with the Mexican situation. J Chairman Porter was with Secre tary Lansing fqr half an hour dis cussing the Mexican situation in gen eral and later appeared hopeful of a solution of the trouble. "The danger to the United States of this condition of continual unrest and feeling of hos'tility toward us in Mexico,” Mr. Porter said, "lies in the fact that it provides a fertile field for Anti-American propaganda and even for a base for attac^ upor tti'e^R- ed States by any foreign country that effected a combination with Mexico. By this, the spirit, if not the letter, of the Monroe doctrine would be- vio lated. “Property rights have been violated and the Mexican courts have declared constitutional the confiscatory pro visions of the Mexican fundamental law against which we hfave taken a strong stand.

Out of the 33 associations reporting many were incomplete, as many as 40 nhnrnh In, some of ihejiistricts fall- ing to report. Leaders of the cam paign last night predicted that the $7,000,000 mark would be passed be fore next Sunday when the drive of ficially ends. Enthusiasm is still running high and churches that had already raised their quotas were at work all day yes terday and this- will continue until ev ery member from the large ciy to the remotest hamlet is reached. The Rev. Thomas J. Watts, publicity director, said last night he was confident that when final reports were available for the work Sunday they would show Jhat at least $6,000,000 had been raised on that one day alone. No relaxation will be manifested during the remaining days of tire drive and every indication is that the state will exceed its quota by a million and a half dollars. “Keep the good work going, no slackening of pace,” is the advice given* to teams and canv^tssers here last night. Only five associations have failed to make any reports and they are expect ed to send in their statements today. Of the 33 already accounted for much more money will be reported as the work Is progressing in all church com munities. Yesterday the First church, at Chester, raised its Sunday amount of $67,000 to $80,000 and will still work on. The Citadel Square church at Charleston reported $158,000 and the First at Gaffney $85,000. Lawton- Central at Greenville reported that it would reach the $100,000 mark. In Columbia teams of canvassers were at work all day, but no money was counted last night, 'f'he canvass ing will continue all the week despite the fact that^ Columbia churches, like most others, have already oversub scribed. Leaders announced last night that a mistake had been made in the quota of the Second Baptist church of Columbia and insead of $35,000 the amount should have been $25,000.

Guard Against it by Building Up the Bjood, Mexican court’s decision in this mat ter. If we permit the property rights of our nationals in Mexico to be thus violated where can we stop. Suppose Brazil and Argentina and Germany and other nations adopt such a con fiscatory law. Our interests abroad would be wiped out. “For three years or more I have been firmly convinced that either amicable or forceful intervention in Mexico by the United States is Inevit able. I have heard nothing here that leads me to change my mind. “And I wish to say that I am con vinced that the ‘state department means business, this time. I also be lieve that when the state department’s firm stand is put before congress we shall give it our strongest support.” • • SPECIAL NOTICES.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Nov. 29.— Tru man H. Newberry, United States sena tor from Michigan, was indicted by a grand jury today for corruption, fraud and cons/liracy in donnectlon with the election by which he obtained his seat in the senate, defeating Henry Ford, his Democratic opponent. With Newberry, 133 other persons were Indicted by the grand jury on the same charge. The,names of alt hut twelve most prominent were with held from publication by Judge Clar ence W. Sessions, presiding, until war rants could be served on them. Among those named were W. A. Hopkins of St. Clair, Mich., assisant secretary of the United States senate; John S. Newberry, brother of the senator, De troit, and Paul H. King of Detroit, King was manager of the Newberry campaign committee. The others named were Allen K. Templeton of Detroit, president of the Newberry campaign committee; Fred erick Smith, Deroit, manager of the Newberry estate; Charles A. Floyd, Detroit; Mart P. McKee, Detroit; Judd Yelland, Escanaba, Mich.; Milton Oakman, Detroit, formerly county clerk of Wayne county, and Harry O. Turner, Detroit. Judge Sessions indi cated that the evidence before the grand jury disclosed the fraudulent expenditure of between $500,000 and $1,000,000 in connection with the elec tion, Government officials asserted that the testimony presented to the grand jury had revealed a political scandal that in many respects was without parallel in American annals. It was alleged that voters were bribed, election boards corrupted, ed itors subsided and moving picture theatres bought up in the endeavor to defeat Henry Ford first In the pri maries of both parties and later, when he had won the Democratic nomina tion in the election itself. The government’s legal experts, headed by Frank C. Daily, special as sistant to the attorney general; Mr. Dalesouter of Grand Rapids a for mer assistant district attorney and Oliver Pagan, indictment expert for the departtneht of justice, took both state and federal laws as the basis for the indictments. The federal corrupt practices act of 1910 limits the ex penditures of senatorial candidates to $10,000, and requires that four state ments be filed with the secretary of the senatei one preceding and follow ing first the primary and then the election. The Newberry affidavit cited in the second indictment was filed In compliance with this act. [ommibXni _ yam known M Bat. Safest; AIw*y* I SOUnMtUKBISEVEnWEK Tie Quinine The!
