WILLIAM WISE SON and Diamond Merchants, EVEN AT MODERATE PRICES OUR DIAMONRS ARE GEMS OF QUALITY IN SETTINGS OF BEAUTY AND EXCLUSIVENESS. Flatbush Avenue at Fulton and Nevins Sta. JENKINS IS ILL IN A HOSPITAL Bandits Released Captive- -Contracted Rheumatism Lying on Ground in Rain. wiMexico 0. City, Oct.

Jenkins, 27-The United release States of Consular Agent at Puebla, who was held captive by Mexican bandits in the mountains south of that city, and who returned to Puebla yesterday, was effected by one lone man, Senor Mestre, the personal attorney of Mr. Jenkins, according to advices received here. At the beginning of the negotiations for the ransom of Mr. Jenkins, Federico Cordova, the leader of the bandits, stipulated that any effort on part of the Consular Agent's friends to appear in force at the bandit rendezvous would result in the death of Mr. Jenkins.

Senor Mestre, therefore, met Cordova at Hacienda Chavarra, which is situated about two hours run by automobile south of Puebla. He was then conducted to a room where he found Mr. Jenkins lying on a bed. After a short parley, the ransom money, $300,000, Mexican, was counted out and a receipt was signed by Cordova. Mr.

Jenkins was then released and, on the arm of Senor Mestre, left the house, being accompanied for some distance by Cordova's men who acted as a guard. The two men finally reached another hacienda and were conveyed to Puebla by automobile. Few details of incidents which occurred during Mr. Jenkin's week of captivity have been learned, as he is not physically able to tell much of his experiences in the mountains except that his abductors were on the move continually to guard against attacks. They treated their prisoner with every consideration possible, however, it is said.

Forced to sleep on the wet ground during a week of daily rains, Mr. Jenkins suffered a recurrence of rheumatic attacks, which rendered him almost helpless. He is now in the American hospital at Puebla, only a few investigating officials being admitted to his room. Secretary Elting Hanna, of the American Embassy here, who directed negotiations for the release of Mr. Jenkins, on the part of the United States, will not return from Puebla until Wednesday.

Upon his arrival it is expected an official report will be made. THIRD POWER'S OBJECTION MADE PORTUGAL REFUSE U.S. A BASE IN AZORES Madrid, Monday, October 27-Objections by a third Power led to the refusal of Portugal to grant the United States a naval base in the Azores, according to information received here in well-informed circles. Senhor Gardeso, Premier of Portugal, in a statement to the Associated Press Monday, denied the truth of reports that Portugal had granted the United States the right to establish a naval base in the Azores. He hinted that the United States had not asked for such a concession, but said it would have been impossible to have granted it, as it would give the United States a dominating position in the archipelago.

GERMANY'S ECONOMIC PROSPECTS BRIGHTER Berlin, Oct. 28-Germany's economic prospects are more favorable, the country being provisioned with corn, meats, vegetables and fish for a long time to come, according to. a statement made by Herr Schmidt, Minister of Economics, who reviewed the situation before the National Assembly here yesterday.

The maximum sentence under the law is five to ten years, Capt. Swinburne Hale, counsel for the two men, had announced previously that he would appeal from the verdict. Justice Weeks, in imposing sentence on the defendants, said: "Before imposing sentence I want to impress upon both of you defendants, and also upon your friends and followers, and through them upon the entire country and everyone in this country, not only aliens, who decline to accept the privileges here, but also upon the unbalanced citizens of this country, whether native-born or naturalized, that in the opinion of this country the crime of which you have been convicted is but another form of treason, and that the proper and legal punishment for treason is death, and that those who violate the statute are fortunate that the punishment is limited to imprisonment. "It is just as much treason to issue and promulgate such literature as you men have been found guilty of promulgating, as if you had actually organized an army to attack the Government of the United States, because you were only taking in this article the first step. This was not the last step you intended to take.

This article counselled the overthrow of Government by force and the use of arms. Someone, who I am satisfied was one your group, not only believed in that, but actually prepared themselves to use force by means of arms.

The visit followed the reception of the staff of the Belgian Legation by the royal party. On his return from the White House King Albert received Vice President Marshall and Mrs.

Marshall, Senator Cummins, President pro tempore of the Senate, and Speaker Gillett of the House. Members of President Wilson's Cabinet also called to pay their respects to the nation's distinguished guests. Washington, Oct. 28-King Albert of the Belgians paid homage in the House of Representatives today to the American Army, which he described as "the decisive factor in determining the victory." In an address to the Senate a few earlier, he had asserted that "nothing could better characterize the reign of universal democracy" than the friendship between his country and the United States. The addresses of His Majesty today were the longest and most important he has made in America.

They were intended as messages to the entire nation and his sincerity in expressing the thanks of Belgium to Americans for their aid was plainly evident. Salutes the Senate.

This welcome of the Senate seals that reception, SO warm and so spontaneous, I have received everywhere during my journey across this magnificent country. am deeply moved by the expressions of sympathy that the name of Belgium evokes from this noble American people.

"Nothing could better characterize the reign of universal democracy than that friendship which unites the great republic with its one hundred and ten million citizens and the realm of which I am the constitutional head, with its seven and a half million inhabitants. If there is no equality of power and riches between them, there is equality in the love of liberty and in aspiration towards social progress. On both sides of the Atlantic the same ideal inspires us. The exchange of ideas, the commercial relations, the visits to Belgium of eminent American citizens, of whom many sit in this assembly, are so many means of tightening the bonds between the two nations. "I hope with all my heart that these relations which go back as far as memory, which have been fortified during the war as well as by the admirable assistance which you rendered Belgium by feeding her people and by fraternity in arms will never cease to develop for the great good of the two peoples." Addresses the House.

The visit to the Senate of King Albert and the Duke of Brabant lasted only half an hour, and they went immediately to the House. In his address there, His Majesty said: "I am happy to be able to bear to this chamber which embodies the living spirit of the American people, the greetings of Belgium, a democratic and parliamentarian state created by the vote of the popular assembly of 1830, which proclaimed the independence of our provinces. It is a pleasure to recall that many of the provisions of our Constitution were taken from your fundamental law, so that at the outset of her career, Belgium was indebted to you. "Our 'two peoples have fought and triumphed together. The intervention of the American Army was the decisive factor in determining the victory.

I pay my respectful and sincere homage to the officers, the soldiers and fell for a great cause on the battlefields of Europe and in the defense of the seas. "The hearts of Belgians whom these heroes helped to liberate from the domination of the enemy go out in profound gratitude to the wounded. In their name I address to the wounded of the great war the assurance of our affection and sympathy, I exthose distinguished American citizens press the gratitude a of Belgium to who gave themselves with such a spirit of sacrifice to the task of lightening the sufferings of the Belgian people.

A revolver battle at midnight on fire-escapes five stories above the street; one man's miraculous escape from death in a dive to the street, and a motorcar man hunt through the darkened streets of Brownsvillethese are only a few of the features of a spectacular raid early today by detectives upon a loft building at 447 Blake which resulted in the arrest of five men charged with attempted burglary. The raid was occasioned by a tip Detective Sergeants Harry Beck and William Donnelly had received to the effect that an attempt at robbery was to be made upon the Blake ave. building. With Policemen Charles Brown and William Lewis, the detectives drove to the scene in a machine.

The car was left in the shadows on Powell and the party proceeded on foot to the building. They found five men busy prying open doors and windows of establishments in the building. The men had located themselves on the fire-escapes. Their efforts had already produced results. Panels were gone from doors leading to the premises of Ryan McGann, curtains and embroidery, third floor; Alexander Cohen, box manufacturer, on the fourth floor, and Peter Nelson, clothier, on the the fifth floor.

Unconscious of the scrutiny of the police, the men kept at their tasks. Beck and Donnelly acted with such caution, it was several minutes before their presence was discovered. Then they were half way up the fireescapes. The men, surprised, started scurrying in all directions, and the detectives opened fire. In desperation, Louis Gordon, 25 years old, who gave address 36 183 Hindale plunged five stories to the ground.

He was only slightly hurt, having landed on his feet. He suffered sprains, a fracture of the right ankle and bruises of the nose and face. He was made a prisoner. The detectives also caught a man who described himself as Joseph Goodman, 23, of 82 Sheriff Manhattan. There had been five at work on the fire-escapes when the police arrived, and the remaining three managed to get down to the street.

These men ran, iwth bullets whistling over their heads. to Blake block away. There they jumped into an automobile that had been awaiting them--intended, the police say, for the anticipated loot. The fugitives in their car started down Blake ave. The detectives in their own machine were in close pursuit.

The chase was enlivened by a fusillade of revolver shots which aroused the neighborhood. At Stone the fugitives were caught by a traffic trick on the part of the detectives. The second car had caught up with its prey and it swung around, crowding the other machine to the sidewalk. The men then surrendered and were made prisoners. They said they were Louis Katz, 21, 106 Norfolk Manhattan; Joseph Goldstein, 19, no home, and Samuel Fogelson, 35, 216 E.

118th Manhattan. The motorcar in which they tried to make their getaway was owned by Fogelson. The detectives and policemen then went to the Brownsville police station with their prisoners. Ambulance Surgeon Lindh of the St. Mary's Hospital had been summoned and he treated Gordon.

The man, it was found, was not seriously enough injured to require hospital care and he was left in the hands of the police. The entire quintet was locked up on a charge of attempted burglary. They will be arraigned in the New Jersey avenue court late today. The attempted robbery was one of a series that have been staged recently in Brownsville. Not in any case of the kind, of late, have the police succeeded so completely in rounding up the suspects.

The detectives stated later that the prisoners in their haste to escape from the rain of police bullets on the fire-escapes, left two of their tools. A jimmy and a bar cutter were found on the fire-escapes. All five men were held in $1,500 bail each Magistrate McClusky in the New Jersey ave. court for a hearing Nov. Detectives said that the records showed that Gordon had been in Sing Sing for burglary, Goodman for a shooting and Goldstein for larceny.
