In Effort to Secure Mall After It

(Auoclated Prist rvspttch.)
Mexico City, Feb. 1».—As a result
®f a controversy between the courts
of Puebla as to Jurisdiction the case
of W. O. Jenkins, United States con
sular agent in that city, is again be-
fore the supreme court; Following
the arrest of Mr. Jenkins last Novem-
ber on various charges, including aid
Ing rebel forces in that district, it was

federal court in Puebla had authority
to try the case.
pushed by Julio Mitchell, state prose
Judicial investigation, however, was
cutor of Puebla. in the criminal court,
the prosecutor in the meantime stat-
ing that Jenkins was guilty of cHmes
charged against him. It was recently
announced that Jenkins' authorisa-
tion to act provisionally as consular
agent had been revoked and that he
probably would be expelled from the
country, if convicted in court.
Press reports regarding the Jenkins
Investigation In Puebla and also
Prosecutor Mitchell's statements have
always mentioned the Puebla criminal
court as the tribunal investigating the
case, despite the fact that the supreme
court's ruling determined the Juris-
diction of the federal court Docu
mentary claims from the Puebla
criminal and district courts were re-
ceived yesterday by the supreftie
court and it appears that the con-
troversy between the tribunal in
Puebla is not considered settled.
Throughout the proceedings Jenkins
has been attempting to secure trial
before the federa lcourt.
Washington, Feb. 19.—An exten
slve review of the charges brought
against William O. Jenkins by au-
thorities of the State of . Puebla,
Mexico, Is contained in a statement by
Julio Mitchell, attorney general of the
state, published in Mexico City, copies
of which have reached the state de-
partment. While ali the previously
reported accusations of conspiracy
with the bandits who kidnaped the
consular agent, inciting rebellion in
Mexico, furnishing funds to the rebels
and others, are reviewed, some phases
of the case as presented by Mr.
Mitchell are new. ;> , , • ,
Among other thing*, the Puebla
official asserted that Jenkins was in
the United States a month before he
was kidnaped, where he "belonged to
a group of Interventionists who reside
in the metropolis." Mexico needed to
vindicate itself, Mitchell asserted,
*»nd it now has been vindicated" by
means of the investigations in Puebla
which will show, he added, that thero
was no such kidnaping, but every-
thing was a plot planned in the
United States by "wicked persons."
"In the event that Justice la meted
out to Jenkins, as it must necessarily
be," the statement said, "the sentence
must be a heavy one since we have an
accumulation of grave crimes, * *
• • all of which will entail a longer
imprisonment."
Most of the statement Is devoted to
the Incident of two letters from Jen-
kins to his wife, which were seised in
the postofflce at the time of the kid-
naping. Mitchell said that when It
finally was determined to send the
letters to* the foreign affairs depart-
ment under his own seal and that of
the American ambassy, O. Woodward,
who calls himself a representative of
the American embassy, sought to
secure them in such a way aa "may
be interpreted as bribery."
One letter, presumably from the
bandits and warning that efforts at
pursuit by the American authorities
would endanger Jenkins' life, Mitchell
said, finally was given to Woodward
on agreement to surrender It on de-
mand. When the demand was made
the embassy compiled, he said, ad-
ding. <
"But great was our surprise when
we observed that the letter was not
the same as that et which record had
been taken In the initial proceedings."
The original letter, Mitchell assert-
ed. had been established by experts,
be In Jenkins' handwriting.

examinations are fre^ and If anything

Sure Way To Get
Rid Of Dandruff
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This
destroys it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely
destroy every single sign and traco
of it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch-
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft and look and feel a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all yoit will need.
This simple remedy has never been
