Renewing its request for the immediate release of, duct in severe terms and characterizes il as a "studied attempt to ensare the American consular agent in the intricacies of legal proceeding." No ultimatum was served and no judication was given of what the Am erican government would do in the event Mexico refuses to comply. The note says that the only con clusion which this government can draw is that Mexico has made a "studied attempt to ensare Jenkins in legal proceeding, both from the fact of his imprisonment. and that the sec ond largest city.in Mexico is overrun hy bandits." "It appears," says the note, "to have been the purpose of the Mexican ;:ov( rnment to assume a wilful indif ference to the feelings of the Ameri can people that have been aroused to j the point of indignation for the hard- j ships and exposure of Jenkins and his j .subsequent imprisonment by the Mex ican government." The government does not admit, the note says, that it is necessary to keep Jenkins in jail while his case is being investigated, "and this government fails to discern" that the intricacies of the Mexican penal law has been ;ipp!ied with impartial justice. "The Mexican government cannot argue that it cannot interfere with the judicial processes of a state unless there has been a denial of justice," the note says, "because it contends there already has been a denial of justice, and the Mexican constitution extends the power of the federal gov ernment to all cases concerning con sular agents and diplomatic cases." ,..

The drastic regulations which the regional coal committee announced will be enfeixed by the United States fuel administration mean a discon tinuence of much of the enjoyment that goes with life in the cities, for white ways will be dark and amuse ment places closed after 10:30 p. m.

The question of whether citie using only electricity for power wil be effected remained to be ruled up on today. It was pointed out that most of these plants use some fuel. Drastic restrictions on the use of coal throughout the southern region of the United States have been issu ed by the regional coal committee at Atlanta for governing consumption in the south.

Unless the 30,000 workers in North Carolina Baptist churches fail to follow up the tre mendous success of Sunday, the first day of the eighth-day Bautist dash in the Baptist 70 million campaign, it is very evident that the Old North State will raise ten million dollars, for the campaign fund, instead ot six million, asked the state. Sunday was the greatest day eve, known in Baptist history in the en tire South.
