MOVING PICTURE HOUSES WONT BE CLOSED AT PRESENT 2. The govern ment tightened its grip on the coal situation today'; In three directions, reaching to th railroads, the inland waterways and; to foreign shipping. The most important of the stepa an nounced to make the coal sup ply meet the minimum needs of the nation until the, operators can Increase production was the giving of authorisation to regional railroad directors to discontinue passenger trains where they can be best spared.

This announcement was made to night by Director General Hines in the following statement: Hines Makes Statement. "With a view; to further conservation of coal by the railroad administration, regional directors have been instructed to "review Ithe situation carefully and have been authorised to eliminate passenger trains which can be spared with the- least inconvenience to the passenger Public." ine raiirosa mw announced that coal for consumption on the inland waterways would henceforth be put on the" same basis as coal on railroads. The third announcement of the gov ernment's policy In conserving coal was that on and after midnight of' December 5 the supplying of coal to for eign ships in American ports would be stopped. This announcement means that the regional directors who have been exercising their discretion in permitting foreign! ships to secure bunker-age coal will ro longer be allowed to do so. 1 Coal production yesterday was 40 per- cent of normal, according to the government reports from the operating fields.

This is a slump as compared to daily productions last week, which almost reached Si) per cent of normal. Coal operators said today that they expected that Hhe first two or three days of this week would show a slump due to the breaking up of the conference between ifthe operators and the miners, and to the fact that Saturday was payday irt'many of the fields.

S. AWAITS WORD FROM MEXICO State Department Not Yet Advised of Note's Delivery, But Believes It Presented Tuesday Anticipate Prompt Action by Carranza in Acceding to "Request" -Tale Comes to Light How Carranza Effected Prompt Release of Britisher. CABRERA SAYS U. S. WOULD FREE JENKINS BY THREATS Washington, Dec 2- With much impatience the state department today awaited word from Mexico city of the release of Consular Agent Jenkins from the penitentiary at Puebla in response to this government's second, sharp note to Carranza.

The department tonight had not be advised of the note's delivery, but officials said it probably was presented during; the day and that they expected prompt action by the Carranza administration in acceding, to the "re-. quest" of the United States. The note was forwarded early Sunday, and a delayed dispatch from the Mexican capital said the Mexican foreign office announced late last night that it had not been received. Errors in cable transmission were sad to have de-- layed its presentation. Carranza Obtains Britisher's Release.

A new side light on the general Mexican kidnapping situation was given today in a report of the recent capture of Norman Rows, a British subject, by rebels at Zacatecas, who beld him for ransom, but who quickly released him at the instance of the Carranza admin istration. without payment of ransom. Great 'Britain never recognized the Carranza. regime in Mexico. The British vice-consul at Zacatecas promptly not! fled Mexican authorities and reported the kidnapping to he British consulate general at Mexico City.

Representatives were quickly made to the Mexican government and within, a few hours, the machinery including the military, was seeking to rescue Rowe. The kidnapping took place at Fres-nillo, a large mining camp at Zacatecas, and in reporting the liberation and return of Rowe to Fresnillo the vice-consul said: 'The government troops and the state authorities exercised all diligence in effecting the liberty of Rowe and as a mere matter of justice this should be stated as everything is due to the efficacy with which the authorities moved in the matter." Louis Cabrera Against Jenkins. Louis Cabrera, secretary of the treasury under Carranza, known to be bitterly anti-American, and whose brother is governor of the state of Puebla where the Jenkins kidnaping took place has taken an active part in the Mexican government prosecution of the case against Jenkins, according to advices received here today. In a statement prepared for the press of Mexico City, Cabrera said, that Jenkins might be liberated on bond but that the American government, "now prefers to set him. free by means of threats." "It is inexplicable," Cabrera was quoted as saying, "that the American government should have requested the immediate release of Jenkins even before the court decision was rendered.

The United States government is seeking to have Jenkins declared Innocent even before the investigation of the case are completed. And if the insinuations of another government in purely administrative matters cannot be accepted, how can foreign imposition be permitted to hurry a final sentnece in a case which is of the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts?" PEACE DELEGATES III Change in Plans Said to Be Due to Germans Fail-! ure to Sign. Paris, Dec. 2. The American delegation to the peace conference, which was to have sailed from Brest for the United States on December has postponed its departure for home, it was learned this A considerable part of the personnel of thei peace mission, however, will leave Paris for Brest on the evening of December 5 as previously arranged.

It is tearnea irom a high authority that the change in the plans of the delegation are due to the failure of the Germans to sign the protocol ratifying the peace treaty. It is pointed out that If the treaty is not the situation between Germany and the United States, as well as the other allied and associated powers, goes back to the status created by the armistice. Hence the United States is quite as much interested as its associates of the Allied powers, despite the fact that the senate has ratified the treaty. Whatever the date which the American delegation may decide upon for leaving: France, jt was affirmed today on excellent authority that such agreement will be made for the representation of the United States in the further negotiations that Germany jvill find all the Allied and associated powers working together to resist any effort on her part to avoid making the peace effective according to the terms of the treaty, 0 in STR.

2. Congress got Into full swing today with receipt of President Wilson's annual message and Inauguration of actual legislation in both senate and house. The message was read separately to each body with floors and galleries crowded. When it was concluded, both senate and house began on the months of work ahead. The senate- took up the Cummins railroad bill, hoping for its passage before the Christmas holidayV House leaders arranged for immediate attack on the annual appropriation bills carrying almost five billions, as submitted by the departments.

house adopted during the day conference report on the Edge bill, authorizing foreign trade financing corporations, and the measure now goes to the President for approval. No Formal Move on Treaty. In the senate no formal move toward final disposition of the German peace treaty was made and the President's message made brief reference to it, with a view to a special message later. Congress also will receive a special message on the railroads. The Cummins bill was before the senaleTnost-OfTheday Wttn- Senator Cummins explaining Its provisions and answering scores of questions.

Adoption both was predicted. An effort to broaden the federal trade commission enquiry to include inves tigation of many general activities Warns on Appropriations. Republican house leaders, in conference today, considered the legislative programme but without final decision.

Representative Mondell, majority leader, said appropriations "must be held down" as much as possible and conferences with the legislative steering committee for further discussion of a more definite programme for the supply bills will be held later. The pensions bill will be first to the house, preparation being more or less perfunctory with the total it carries- fixed by other laws.

2. A diversified legislative programme to Vrestore a peace time business status, revise the tax system, curb unrest, reduce the cost of living and rectify labor and farming conditions, was recommended by President Wilson today in his message to the -new session of Congress. The President asked for new tariff laws based on the ration's changed relation to the rest of the world, sug gested that the income and excess profits tax schedules be siinP1IfleiJ. advocated steps to improve rural conditions and promote production, and declared for a "genuine democratization of industry to protect both labor and capitate Reserves Railroad Problem. The railroad problem he reserved for a future message, and he made no statement of his intentions regarding the peace treaty or Mexico.

Many of his recommendations were the same as those submitted to the special session last pprlng and several of them are embraced in legislation already being formulated in the two houses. To meet the cost Of living the President asked extension of the war time food control bill, federal regulation of cold storage, readjustment of food transportation and establishment of a system of, federal licensing for ail corporations engaged in interstate commerce. (. He declared the causes of unrest to be superficial and temporary and made his only reference to the senate's failure to ratify the peace treaty in saying that restlessness was due largely to the nation's hesitation in determining its peace policy. The federal government, he declared, should be armed with full authority to deal in the criminal courts with those who promoted violence.

Sympathizes With Labor. In an extended discussion of labor conditions, he declared the workers had just cause for complaint in many matters, and that there should be a "full recognition of the right of those who work, in about every rank to participate in some organic way in every decision that directly affects their wel fare. He asserted that the rights of individuals to strike must be held inviolate, but added that there must be a Arm stand against "the attempt by any class to usurp a power that only government itself has a right to exercise as a protection to all." Finally, he suggested the establishment of a tribunal for peaceful decision of industrial disputes. He renewed his recommendation for a budget system of national finances, asked for special protection to promote the dyestuffs and chemical industries, and declared the administration bill providing farms for soldiers should be passed without delay. The message, about 5,000 words In length, wrj transmitted to the capitol by messenger, the President expressing regret his health would not permit his de.ivery of it in person.

Speculate on Illness. In all of the private discussions among members and in some public exnressions regarding it, there was much speculation as to what extent the President's illness had handicapped him in its actual preparation. Demo. orats declared that Mr. Wilson's vigor ous beliefs on public questions were shown by the language ot tne message to be unimnaired by his long confine ment and weakness, while In Republican cloak room gossip there was evident a disposition to speculate on how today upon Director General Hines atjre expected Had Been Suffering for Three Weeks From Ptomaine Poisoning Starring as Farm Hand, Fought With and Against!

Frick, one of the most fasinating chapters in the history of industrial America, ended without warning at 5 o'clock this morning, when only Oscar Rodgers, the Ilh-ancier's butler, was at his bedside. Awaking, Mr. Frick asked for: a drink of water and having swallowed it, lay back on his pillow. "1 think 1 will go to sleep," he murmured, i These were his last words. Failing in efforts to arouse his master, the butler summoned members of the family, who retired, not expecting a fatal termination to Mr.
