MEXICO FREES JENKINS FROM PUEBLA PRISON.

Washington, Dec. s.—William 0. Jenkins, the American consular agent imprisoned at Puebla, Mexico, was released Thursday night. The American embassy in Mexico City reported his release in an official dispatch received by the state department this afternoon and almost at the same time the news dispatches were received from Mexico City which said a check for SSOO had been deposited with the ■civil authorities This difference in the two reports semeed to raise some doubt as to whether Jenkins was released unconditionally on the diplomatic representations of .the United States government or whether he had been released on bail, as the Mexican authorities had'contended he could. The state department, however, took the view that Jenkins had been released on its diplomatic representations.

WASHINGTON NEWS IN BRIEF.

Washington, D. Dec. 5. President Wilson demonstrated to the satisfaction of the senate today that he is mentally competent and alert, though physically infirm, and Senator Fall, of New Mexico, pronounced the chief executive capable of performing the" functions of his office and familiar with the Mexican crisis. —o — The administration is not yielding to demands from the country for a revision of its policy toward the coal strike that many believe is necessary to bring the strife to an end. Governors are appealing for the government to reopen negotiations that will yield to a settlement of the disastrous controversy. The cabinet discussed the situation today, but was still . disposed to fight it out rather than yield any ground to the strikers. —o — President Wilson told Senator Hitchcock today that he' had no immediate intention of resurrecting the peace treaty. The responsibility for the present position of the treaty, the president said, rested on shoulders other than his and he added, “Let it rest there for a while.” —o — Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, director of military aeronautics, related to the aviation subcommittee of the house committee on military affairs some of the reports he had heard of the activity of the Mexican government in developing aviation. He said that he understood that planes had been purchased in France, Germany and Belgium, although he had no definite information. - Tha Hartford Fire Insurance Co., for the l|rst time in history, is offering" to write insurance on growing wheat, rye, corn, oats, and barley against loss from freezing, winter kill, frost, flood, drought, insect or disease at a reasonable for for landlord, tenant or owner.

SPEED RECORD IS NOW BEING MADE

Mrs. Frank Sanders Expresses Her Amazement Over Truotna’s Rapid Work.

Evansville, Ind., Dec. 8. — ‘Trutona is restoring my health and is doing it in record time, too, and I’m glad to recommend it to the women of this city,” was the tribute paid the perfect tonic on March 22, by Mrs. Frank Sanders, well known local resident of 1128 West Illinois street. “My system generally was in bad condition,” she continued. “I was troubled with nervousness and I was continually being bothered with constipation. It seemed that I had the headache constantly. The back of my head and neck ached terribly. My appetite wasn’t very good and I didn’t sleep well at night. “I finally came to the conclusion that if Trutona was doing so much good for other women, it surely would do the same for me. And it has. Why, I haven’t felt so good in a long time as I feel today and I’ve taken only one bottle of Trutona. I have been relieved of the headaches, my nerves are in much better condition and it’s easier for me to sleep at night now. My appetite is improved, also. Yes, I'm glad to recommend ■ Trutona to Evansville women who want to be relieved of their troubles.” Constipation perhaps causes more suffering- and more often leads to serious sickness than any trouble mankind has to contend with. Trutona is a mild and gentle laxative and may be taken without the least fear of harmful results. Trutona is now being introduced and explained in Rensselaer at the Larsh & Hopkins drug store.

NEW AUTO LICENSES ARE OLIVE GREEN AND BUFF.

The 1920 automobile license plates show olive green numbers on a buff background. They are made of heavier steel than thel9l9 plates which were generally complained of as being too light and inclined to warp. The plates are made at the state prison. As usual they will not be mailed until after Christmas because of the heavy pre-Christmas mails. The state department expects that more than 15,000 applications will be on hand by that time. Truck plates will bear the word “truck” stamped perpendicularly on the left end. The department had collected more than $1,558,000 in license fees this year. i _7 Next year Jasper county, under the new taxing law, and all Other counties of the state, will receive less refunds than usual inasmuch as all receipts from auto licenses go to the state highway commission. In past years each county received a part of the auto license fund for .use in maintaining highways m each county.

FRANKLIN A CAR OF “FIRSTS.” The Franklin car originally had many features which are coming into popular use. The pioneer Franklin company built the first four cylinder automnhile---4n— America, the first six'cylinder car in this country and one of the first air cooled engines—the first to be used commercially. Franklin was the first to adopt scientific lightweight which has now become all the rage. The first Franklin motor, built seventeen years ago, had valve-in-head construction which has become popular recently. It was the first to replace the- jerky spftrt cutout of early days with ’throttle control. It was the first to use the float feed carburetor, first to adopt full elliptic springs and was tlje first car built without radius rods and torque tubes. It was the first to adopt automatic lubrication, automatic spark advance and several other innovations. In fact, the Franklin is a car of - ,

TROUNCING ADMINISTERED LOCALS FRIDAY NIGHT

The Rensselaer high school basket ball team went to Valparaiso Friday for their opening game of the season and received a terrible "trpuncing, the fihal score reading 48 to 10 in favor of Valparaiso. The onesided defeat of the locals was not entirely unexpected, as they have had but little practice and were in no shape for such a stiff opponent so early in the season. The local basket ball card for this season is perhaps the stiffest schedule that any Rensselaer team has ever been called upon to face, and last night’s humiliating defeat should so rankle the local players that a repetition of it will not again occur. It would seem that the local management made a grave error in scheduling such a strong team as Valparaiso for the opening game, especially on a foreign floor. Valparaiso is expected to cut quite a swath in Indiana basket ball circles this -winter, and will be a strong contender for the district championship in March. Larsh and Grooks worked at the forward positions for Rensselaer last night, Gollins was 4s at center and Lambert and Tilton patrolled the Rensselaer basket.

BUSH FAVORS AMENDING LAW

LIEUT. GOVERNOR MAKES A STIRRING ADDRESS TO TAX PAYERS. Lieutenant Governor Edgar D. Bush, of Washington county, addressed a large audience in the east court room in this city Friday evening. i Mr. Bush is making a strenuous campaign for the republican nomination for governor of Indiana. He is opposed to the present republican state administration and is making his campaign as an independent and is making a vigorous attack on the centralization of power in the executive. The meeting was called to order by Attorney D. D. Dean, who was an employe in the senate during the seventy-first general assembly, and the body over which Mr. Bush presided. Mr. Dean introduced as a curtain raiser to the Bush show Clarence Fate, of Crown Point, who made an address in which he most heartily endorsed the candidacy of Mr. Bush and assured those present that Lake county republicans were back of the southern Indiana farmer to a man. There was a number of the Lake county politicians present and all were very outspoken for the nomination of the lieutenant governor. Mr. Bush was then introduced and he made a very forceful, clear, clean cut statement of his position as a candidate for the republican nomination for governor. He opposes the centralization of power and is very much against the appointment of the attorney general and the state superintendent of public instruction by the chief executive of the state. He based his argument on the fundamental prin-

.ciples of our government, both state and national, and said that the foundation of our liberty is based upon the principle laid down by our forefathers in the keeping separate and distinct the three departments of government—the legislative, the executive and the judicial. • ■ - He criticized very severely the tendency of the national’ and state executive in their attempt to usurp and exercise powbrs delegated by •the constitution to other departments of the government. Mr. Bush handled the tax law with a maled fist. He said that the law should be amended and if there is a special session of the Indiana legislature pledged his word that he would insist that this be done then. Mr. Bush is opposed to those provisions of the law which allow the executive to usurp powers delegated by the constitution to other departments of the government. He would amend the law so that it would not interfere with local self government and that the tax payers arid riot a board-appointed by the governor should decide wpat money should be expended on local improvements. He would take from the state tax, board its power , s to change local tax levies. He would not allow the power to remove local taxing officers to lie with the state board. He favors amending the tax law, but not repealing it, as he said there is much of value in the law. Mr. Bush put much emphasis on the point that he was a farmer; that he lived eight mites m the country and that every dollar he possessed was invested in his farm, its improvements and equipment. He paid the farmers a very high compliment and urged that they organize to thmwee their behalf. He took a rap at the school book trust and criticized the frequent changes in school texts. The law does not permit a change in less than five years and we believe that the lieutenant governor is not well liosted on the Indiana school book He favored the old McGuffy readers in preference to those used today. Possibly it would be well for the politicians to let the educators of the state take care of these matters. The school book trust may be a great evil, but Indiana has a good school book law, in that it makes the book companies furnish the books at a low cost, that there is uniformity in the state and that toe texts cannot be frequently changed. A number of prominent democrats were present and enjoyed the speech and so expressed themselves to the republican candidate. One prominent democrat told Mr. Bush that it was the best republican speech The had ever heard. »■ In the main, Mr. Bush made an excellent impression upon his audience Here. That he will be a strong candidate for the nomination there can be no doubt. If nominated he can depend upon Jasper county to give him and the entire republican ticket a 'record majority as there are a great many democrats who are openly stating that they Win never vote the democratic ticket Wn- .
