June action affecting' relations between the United States and Mexico is expected to result frpm conferences which began here yesterday with representatives of the present regime in Mexico, American government officials and agents of Gen. Francisco Villa as participants. Fernando Iglesias Calderon, a prominent Mexican, arrived yesterday from Mexico City with the rank of ambassador.

All the embassy, where he is staying, would say of his visit was that he was here on a It was learned, however, from official sources that his object is to discuss the relations between the two countries with a view of removing objections of this country toward Mexico and to seeking recognition of the new regime there. Officials of the state department will study the statements of both factions before committing the nation to any policy, it was said. The state department officials will confer with Calderon unofficially. MEXICO TO TAKE CHARGE OF DESTITUTE LABORERS That the large number of Mexican laborers who have traveled from points in the interior of Chihuahua to Juarez for the purpose of crossing into the United States in search of work may not suffer during their detention in Juarez and maybe returned to their homes, provision been made by the Mexican government to care for them and their families. A telegram announcing this was received Tuesday from Gilberto Valenzuela by Luis Montes de Oca, Mexican consul general here.

In his instructions, Senor Valenzuela authorizes that food and shelter be provided for the destitute families who arrived at Juarez only to learn that they are prevented from leaving Mexico by the recent order issued against their crossing. Transportation will also be provided for their return home, and Mr. Montes de Oca is cautioned to see that all return to Indians Admit Perjuries In Jenkins Case Mexico City, June Indians, examined with regard to their previous testimony In the case of William O. Jenkins, former American consular agent at Puebla, testified today that they were stis- pended in the air, struck and threatened with death "by shooting until they agreed to testify against Jenkins. according to Puebla dispatches to El Universal this evening.

Jenkins w'as kidnaped by the bandit Federico Cordova last fall and later was charged with complicity in his own capture. The testimony is being heard before the third criminal court of Puebla. Ignacio Vasquez, former secretary of the second criminal court, declared court papers were stolen to damage the case against Jenkins and the judge was deposed when he was about to free the American. The bandit Cordova was cross-examined for four hours yesterday, but his tes- tirPiony was not disclosed. Interviewed in Mexico City last night on his arrival from Puebla, Cordova said he had kidnaped Jenkins, but that the latter was not an accomplice.

The agents of the Carranza government, Cordova asserted, had made attempts to induce him to testify that the kidnaping was the result of a scheme between himself and Jenkins, but he had declined to make such a statement. Any declarations purporting to come from him accusing Jenkins of being implicated in his capture, Cordova asserted, were pure fabrications.

the places from where they came, providing there is a shortage of labor at those places. Otherwise they w'ill be sent where they are most needed. The Mexican government is interested in solving the Mexican labor problem, according to Mr. Valenzuela, and a study of conditions is being made to effect a definite solution in the matter of immigration laborers. As a basis of this solution, free labor bureaus are to be established at all the border cities, paterned after the bureau opened at the instigation of Montes de Oca in Juarez.
