of a presentment read by Raymond
F. Almira?l, foreman of the grand

Weeks, over District Attorney
'wann'? protest.
The presentment stated that the
??eneral inquiry was "inspired by
reasonable grounds of belief that
I ublic offc'als have been guilty of
willful and corrupt misconduct in
office," and thr.t the investigatio?-.
was made in compliance with the
f Crinr'nal Procedure '"in the

A slender figure in the uniform of |
a colonel of the Welsh Guards stood !
at the reviewing post before a glit-1
tering staff yesterday and took the
a ute of a thousand lads only a few
years younger than himself as the
gray ranks of the cadets swung past
over the West Point garade ground. ;

Prince of Wales brought his hand ?

for fully ten minutes and held it out j

MacArthur, commandant of the post.
What he said then he amplified later !
in speaking to the cadets in Mess, j
Hall.
"I nm an officer of the Brigade of

know something of discipline and drill.
So I watched your parade with a very
careful eye, and I congratalate you

Women Pelt Prince With Flowers
The prince's day, which was to be
'tiled for the most part with military
ceremony, began with a shower of
flowers. When his barge took him
uhore from the Renuwn at the C-j
lumbia Yacht Club a number of women
j added their voices to the cheer that
I rose as he sprang ashore and pelted
him with blossoms. Tie heir to the
i British crown blushed and said some?
thing laughingly to the British Am?
bassador, Viscount Grey, whoso arm
he held. Then he ducked through the
shower toward his car.
The wintry air yesterday caused the
prince to appear in the long blue-gny
overcoat w.rn only by officers of the
Geards. He was booted and spurred
and carried a light malacca cane.
The fleet of automobiles that carried
the prince and his party shot south
and east to the Grand Central Station,
I where a special train waited to carry
j them to the Military Acndcmy. As the
prince entered the station, preceded

Gayety of FolIi-?s
Enjoyed by Prince
The Prince of Wales saw the Zieg- i
feld ''Follies" last night. According
to others in the audience, who watched
him as much as they watched the show,
he had the time of his life.
The royal visitor arrived soon after
9. while Bert Williams w i in the
midst of his travesty, "He Never
Misses." There was a bustle in the
rear of the ha'l as the royal party en?
tered. Then the lights went up and
the orchestra played "God Save the
King" while the audience and perform?
ers steed at. "Attention!"
The prince, in evening dress and
decorated with medals, walked briskly
down the aisle to his box at the right
of the orchestra stalls. When he had
gone half way he stopped and bowed,
while the audience cheered Tlfe prince
blushed and his hand rose hesitantly,
as if h? did not ijuite know whether to
acknowledge the compliment with a
salute.
Ju.;t as he was about to take 'ni.-i
seat the orchestra struck up "The Star
Spangled banner." and every one rose
once more to "Attention!"
Laughs Often at Jokes
The prince sat in the left corner of.
the box, with Rear Admiral Sir Lionel
Halsey at his right. He held his hand
to his face fer a few minutes after the
performance was resumed and then re?
laxed, laughing repeatedly at the-jokes.
Tnree-qi.arters of an hour later Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt and Lady Ward
entered the royal box, .taking seats in
the front row. Brigadier General Cor?
nelius Vanderbilt and Viscount Grey,
the British Ambassador, sat in the row
behind.
I ddie Cantor, next on the bill, so
amused the prince that the latter
di ubled forward in hi- seat, laughing.
The prince showed that he was not im?
pervious to local American humor by
laughing appreciatively wl en Cantor
came to the footlights near his box and
said:
"It'll be too bad if the Prince of
Wales goes home without getting one
look at The Bronx."
He also seemed to see the point when
the comedian remarked that prohibition
is as popuia- wi'h the American peonle
as Governor Smith is with William
Randolph Hearst.
Others in the Box
In the box behind the prince were the
fol owing: Captain Potter, military aid
to the prince; Mrs. John MicGee, Mr.
and Mrs. Nelson Doubled \y and Mrs.
i Joseph Lydig. In the lower box on the
opposite hide or the house, were Miss

Kahn, Miss Maude Kahn and three
Englishmen.
In the second box on the right was

U.S. Will Turn
The Imperator
Over to Britain
Shipping Boar?! Officials
indicate Ex-German Liner
Will Be Surrendered to
'Cuuard Line at Once
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.?Settlement I
of the controversy over disposition of
the German liner Imperator was indi- !
cated to-night by Shipping Board offi?
ciai.-, who intimated the ship would be ;
tendered immediately to Great Britain.
Action with regard to the seven j
other German steamers in the same i
status had not been determined, it was I
said. It will depend, it was indicated,
cm liria! disposition of the tankers
under the German flag, but American
owned, now held in the Firth of Forth
by direction of the Supreme Council.
The Imperator and the seven other
ships were- allocated to the United -
St tes after the armistice and were
used to transport American troops from
overseas. Great Britain had expected j
to obtain them when they had com?
pleted this service and the Cunard
Line had arranged to place the Im- :
pei'ator in the New York-Southampton :
passenger service.
When the War Department had lin
ished with the ships it turned them j
over to the Shipping Board, which re- ?
fused to surrender them to the British
Ministry of Shipping at New York. :
While officials made no explanation,
the general understanding was that !
this action resulted from the decision ,
of the Allied Naval Armistice Commis?
sion ordering the American-owned tank
steamers of German registry to be de?
livered at the Firth of Forth for allo?
cation to Great Britain, France, Italy
and Be gium.
Recently the Supreme Council at
Paiis directed that the tankers be held
in British wate, s tinder the guardian?
ship of Great Britain until a decision
as to their tmul disposition had been
reached.
Shipping Board officials would not
give ilieir reasons for offering the Im?
perator to Great Britain at this time.
This ship and the Leviathan are the
largest afloat, and it was announced
some time ago that plans were being
made for her operation in the trans?
at.antic freight and passenger service.
Aviators Rescued at Sea

in a roi'gh sea twenty miles north of
Cape May. The. rescue wao effected
after ihe airmen had drifted in the
water for half an n\pur, by members of
? Coast Guard 130.
The seaplane was of the HS-2 type,
| and was flying from Rockaway Point
to Hampton R ads. It was piloted by
Ensigns L. S. Noble and R. W. Thomp?
son. The plane sank shortly after the
aviators had been rescued. Another

Mexico Told

Kidnaping Laid to Lack

Nt'w York Tribvne
Yva.'.hinatt.n liwrau
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. -The
American government in a note to
the Me ican government to-day de?
clare'! that further molestation of
William O. Jenkins, American Con
su'ar Agent at Puebla, would "seri?
ously affect the relations between
the United States and Mexico," and
hat Mexico must assume full re?
sponsibility for such an act.
The note, which was dispatched by
:;he State Department following the
receipt of confirmation of the second
arrest of Mr. Jenkins by authorities
at Puebla, said that the Unit* I
States government is "surprise! and
incense:!" to learn of the second im?
prisonment of the consular asjent,
particularly in view of the suffering
and losses sustained by him in con?
nection with his kidnaping through
"lack of protection by the Me ica.-.i
1 authorities" and in connection with
hisvfir?t arrest by Mexican officials.
The State Department ma:le pub
! lie only prints of the note, which for
the first time placed the responsibil
i itv for the kidnapine of Mr. Jenkins
on the lack of protection by the Mex?
ican authorities.
Immediate Release Demanded
The complete statement issued by
the department follows:
"The Department of State to-day
sent a i i,:,.- to the Mexican Foreign
Office, through the American Embas?
sy at Mexico City, calling for the im?
mediate release of Wihi-m O lenk
ins, the American Consular Agent at
Puebla.
"The note, which ?s based on the
rearrest of Consular Agent Jenkins
at Puebla, points out thai the United
States government \s 'surprised and
incensed' to learn of the reimprison
mont of Mr.,Jenkins, particularly in
view of the suffering and losses al?
ready sustained by him in connection
with his kidnaping through lack of
protection by the Mexican author ties
and in connection w th his lirsl ar?
rest by Mexican oflicia a.
"The note expresse:', ihejvie%v, bused
on the information in the possession
of the Department ol State, that his
rearrest is absolutely arbitrary and
unwarranted an-! warns the Mexican
governmen that further molestation
of the consular agent will serioui ly
affect the relations between the
United States and Mexico, for which
the government of Mexico must as?
sume sole responsibility."
Reimbursement Demand Forecast
The stand taken by the State Depart
ment that the kidnaping eccurred be?
cause of lack of protection by the M ex
ican authorities is taken to mean the
United States government will demand
.hat the Carranza treasury reimburse
Mr. Jenkins for the full amount of the
ransom paid to the bandits.
Secretary Lansing said last week the
State Department could not make such
a demand un.ess it was shown that
proper protection had not been afforded
the American envoy by the Mexican
government.
The State Department is imw in po
session of a fui! report from Mr. Jen?
kins on his kidnaping, payment of
$150.000 ransom and his answer to the
chaiges of collusion wi?h his kidnapers
made by ruebla state authorities, and
is considering the advisability of mak?
ing the report public.
Collusion Charged by Peons
Mr. Jenkins was first arrested on No?
vember lb charged with collusion with
Federico Cordova, who kidnaped him.
He was confined in the penitentiary
lor two hours, alter which he was re
.eased, but confined to the limits of
his heme, by order of the local courts.
Representation.- were mad.- by this
government through the American
Embassy at Mexico City and assurance
was given by the Mexican Foreign Of
! fice that Mr. Jenkins would not be
j further molested.
Later his rearrest was ordered by
I the Pueb a authorities on the testi
i mony of a number of peons, a loged to
; have further sub tantiated the charge
; of collusion. This arrest was deferred
j for a few days, when according to un
; official advices reach?Vig here, he was
arrested for threatening the ?eons who
1 testified against him. fm
In certain quarters hereJ?? persecu
i tion of Mr. Jenkins is beneved to be
! the result of the strong anti-American
j sentiment entertained by Lula Cabrera,
; formerly Ambassador to Washington,
