Washington, Dec, 1.—The govern
ment’s note to Mexico, made public
here today at the hour of its delivery
in Mexico City, renews the request
for the immediate release of William
. •
O. 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

“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. I have a copy of the

The lodge has just closed a very
successful year. Since the end ot the
war there has been a decided increase
*
both in membership and interest and
a great deal of good has been accom
plished.
VRGJLNG THEIR -PLAN:!,
Jacobs & Company of this city
are now enlarging their present
building by the addition of 13,000
feet of Hoor space, which added to
the 18.000 feet of their present
building will give over 30,000
square feet of Moor space and will
be one of the most modern plants
of its kind in the entire South.
New equipment for the enlarged
plant has been purchased and when
fully installed will give this firm
a plant second to none in America
covering commercial art, commer
cial photography, photoengraving,
elect retyping, niekeltyping and
color printing.
figures give the denomination more
than the amount asked by over > $300,-
000 and reports are (Still coming In.
Thirty-three association had report
ed last night, leaving five yet to send
in figures and It is confidently be
lieved that when these five are re
ceived over $6,000,0(10 will have been
reached.
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. This
latter quota the church will reach
before the end of the we^t.
Below are the amounts so far re?
ported by the 33 associations^ bring

Mexican court’s decision in this mat

“For three years or more I have

Grand Jury Finds Bill Against United
States Senator who Defeated Ford.
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.
