e V"hat would you name triplet ba-)
bies, two boys and a girl?
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Toney, parents‘
of the triplets born December 2, are |
unable to decide upon a narne for |
their new offsprings and would like‘
for the people of Atlanta to suggest’
what they think would be suitable
names for the little trio. l
“A number of names have been
suggested to us by relatives and'
friends, but they usually have been
too much alike to suit me,” said Mrs. I
Toney. “I do not care te have them
given names that are so much alike’
that when I am calling them they
will be unable to tell which one 1
wish to see.
“And we do not want just com
mon names. We would like on(-s!
that are a little unusual and yet at
tractive and suitable for the triplets,”
said Mrs. Toney. “Some one in At
lanta may be able to suggest just the
'names that we want.” |
So the people of Atlanta who have
had experience in naming triplets or
who feel that they have a number of
attractive names for these wonderful!
‘babies ‘should send-their suggestion |

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The Mex
ican soldier who shot and killed the
American, James Wallace, near Tam
pico, a forthight ‘ago, has been ar
rested by the Mexican authorities,
according to information received at
the state department this afternocon.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
Staff Correspendent of the |. N. 8.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The re
lease of Uoansviar Agent Jenkins by
the Mexican authorities is Shrouded
in mystery. and the state department
today began a thorough investiga
tion of the manner in which the
American consular official was lib
erated from the Puebla jail.
Jenkins has reported to the state
department .that he was released at
midnight Degember 4, but that he
was not advised regarding the rea
sons for this release,
The " state department issued the
following: \
“American Consular Agent Jenkins
at Puebla has reported that he was
released from the penitentiary at mid
night December 4, but that he was
not advised regarding the reason for
his release. It is evident from Mr.
Jenkins' reports that he had no
knowledge of bail being furnished.
The department is investigating the
fact regarding the furnishing of the
bail and at whose instance it was
turnished.”
A report from Mexico City said the
money had been put up by Salter
Hansen, a Danish-American banker
newly arrived in Mexico, and an im
pression got abroad that perhars
there had heen a change of attitude
on the part of the United States govs
errniment.
FALSE, SAYS LANSING.
“It is "absolutely false,” Secretary
of State Lansing announced, “The
state department never for a moment
thought of changing the policy of
Jenking in refusing bail.”
| It is not believed in official circles
‘lhul Jenkins underwent a change of
heart in this respect; in fact, letters
‘an(i reports from the consular agen
'have made it plain he would not
consider such a thing, as it was 2
'matter of principle with him, and
that if he furnish2l bond the whole
}r)mvg would eome up again some
| time, “and I might as well have it
out now.”
| There is a rumor here that, Hansen
| might havs been acting in the case
on behalf of the Mexican minister of
finance, Luls Cabrera, a smooth dip
lomat, and that Jenkins' release in
| this fashion was merely one way out
qu a tight place—in fact, a method of
