The io eminent of Mexico has

been arrested a second time chaiged
with connivance lit Ills own abduc-

The warning states that any f Hi-

consular agent at Puehla would "ser-

the i'nlteil States and Mexico fin
which the Unlet anient of Mexico
must assume sole responsibility.
Coupled with the warning was a

While the supieme court at Wash-

nf last week nil the constitutionali-
ty of tlie wai-tlme prohibition act
wind went out from the White House
that President Wilson would not re-
scind the Miy" net until pence for-

This is expected to set at rest the
ever recurring rumors that the "dry"
ban would bo lifted by the PrPsldont

tho Senate to act on the treaty at the
extraordinary session Is regnrdml by

The note based on the rearrest of
Mr. Jenkins points out that the Un-
ited States Goxernmont is surprisul
anil incensed to learn of tho relm-
piisonmpnt of Mr. Jenkins through
lack of protection by tho Mexican
authorities.
The I'nlteil Slates Government Is
said to lie In possession of full facts
establishing Mr. Jenkins' innocence
of the charges and will brook no
further delay of fair tieatment by
the Mexiran Government.

Should such prove tho case tho
only possibility of a "wet" Christ-
mas would bo for the Supreme Court
to declare tho war-time act unconsti-
tutional. A decision of the matter is not ex-
pected bofnic Deo. S when the court
will reconvene after recess.
There is much speculation In tho
National Capital over possible results
at home and abroad that are to fol-
low tot initiation of tho special ses-
sion of Congiess without Senate rat-
ification ot the peace treaty.
The thoughts ot the treaty's Sen-
ate friends centered on accomplish-
ing some compromise for a ratifica-
tion in the session beginning Dec. 1
and to that end stops are understood
to have been taken to ask President
Wilson to ascertain from the otlier
powers what leservatlons they
would accept.

seems willing to awnlt quietly tho
outcome of compromise efforts Uiat
