WASHINGTON MAKES EFFORE TO CHECK $500 BAIL STORY WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. Every effort was made here today to check up on a cabled report from Mexico City saying that, according to a Puebla dispatch to a Mexico City newspaper, Jenkins was released after J. Salter Hansen had deposited de-posited a ?500 check for bail. Officials of the state department said they had no information whatever concerning Hansen or the question of ball, and that they did not know Hansen. They stood on the statement that the consular ngent had been released on demand of this government. In somo quarters, however, there was a suggestion that there may have been a contusion of names, as Secretary Lansing Lan-sing announced that a dispatch from the American embassy said Third Assistant Secretary Matthew H. Hanna had been sent to Puobla in connection with representations repre-sentations for release of Jenkins. Of fi-! fi-! cials declared, however, that even if the names had been confused, there was no information to Indicate that Hanna had put up bond ,and, in fact, they expressed j utmost assurance that he had not done so, I Reports from Jenkins since his arrest r'H p.--'j!i;t! !"-r 'rTr! h'.rn f r.iw-..j r.iw-..j l.!s -4 a.i'-t l-.frn::i."l ''- a '::'.
