BRITISH SUBJECT
IS SHOT TO DEATH
Another Serious Crisis in the
Mexican Situation.
WASHINGTON IS STIRRED.
British Ambassador Sees Him About
the Former Bandit Rebel Leaders
Act and President Wilson and
Cabinet Discuss II.

Washington.-A slumbering Mexican
situation was brought quickly to a
point Of intense international interest
by the flash OF a message stating that
William l.. Benton, a British subject,
had been killed in Juarez by order Of
Gen. Francisco Villa, the constitu-
tionalist commander.
Sir Cecil Spring Rice. the British
ambassador, conferred with Secretary
Bryan about it, President Wilson and
his Cabinet discussed It briefly, and a
thorough investigation was ordered by
the State Department from consular
reports on the border.
In this case, for the first time since
the present revolution began, a year
ago, the general warning from the
United States government to Mexican
factions to protect all foreigners went
%unheeded, though there is every evil
dence to show that both the British
Ambassador and the State Department
were advised too late of Benton's i'm
pending fate to intercede specifically
for him. The news shocked officials
generally, who had come to believe
that General Villa fully realized the
position Of the American government
In regard to the protection of foreign
ers in Mexico, particularly in the north
of that country.
81 haven't sufficient facts on which
to base an opinion" said Secretary
Bryan. Until l have the department
will express no opinion"
This was the official view OF the
situation with messages passing back
and forth between the State Depart
ment and Consul Edwards, and his
temporary assistant, G.. c. Carrothers,
consular representative at Torreon.
Only a few details were announced by
the State Department-that Benton
had been executed after a military
trial. A copy of the sentence Of the
court. setting forth the evidence in
the case, was promised the American
consular representatives. Mr.. Bryan
said a full report of the affair was on
its way by mail from Consul Edwards,
TO whom General Villa had personally
explained the incident.
The killing of a British subject I'M
der circumstances such as dispatches
from the border portrayed caused a
stir in diplomatic circles. Those
familiar with the aggressive attitude
Great Britain assumes in pressing for
reparation when her subjects have
have been wronged were inclined to
foresee interesting developments i'm
pending.

J.. S. TROOPS
GET CASTILLO
Mexican Bandit Captured on
the American Side.
SIX OF HIS MEN SURRENDER
Should the American Officers Do So,
He Will Certainly Be Executed
For Setting Fire To the
Cumbre Tunnel.

Alpasa, Texas.-Maximo Castillo,
the Mexican bandit, charged with re-
sponsibility for the Cumbre tunnel dis
aster, in which ten Americans and Al
others lost their lives, was captured
3S miles south Of Hachita, N. NJ, by
American troops.
The information was conveyed to
Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, commandant at
Fort Bliss, in an official telegram from
Captain White, Ninth United States
Cavalry.
With the bandit were six OF his fol-
lowers. According to Captain Whites
brief dispatch, they surrendered with
out q fight. They will be brought
here.
Castillo, to avoid a range of noun
tains On the Mexican side, made a de-
tour which brought him into Ameri-
can territory. Captain White was on
the watch, having received informa-
ton from Walter Mccormick, Ameri-
can manager of Las Palomas ranch, on
the Mexican side, that the much-want-
ed man was in the vicinity.
Captain White telegraphed by Army
wireless to General Scott for instruc-
tons, and was ordered to arrest the
bandit should he put foot on American
soil.
Whether the prisoner shall be sur
rendered to the rebels is a legal ques-
ton which remains to be settled. II
this is done there is no doubt that he
will be executed for the Cumbre dis
aster. He is not charged with any
crime on this side.
Castillo set fire to a freight train in
the Cumbre Tunnel two weeks ago.
The cars were burning when a pas
senger train crashed into it and every
life aboard was lost. The tunnel is
still burning.
A special to the Times from Hachita,
N. NJ, says that the capture was made
by Lieutenant Rothwell, of Troop A,
and remarks that 1t was particularly
gratifying as coming on the heels Of
the theft Of Is horses belonging to the
regiment by Mexicans on Sunday. The
special continues:
Captain White will ask that
Castillo and Capt. Emilio Garcia, a
member of the band previously cap
tured, be transported Immediately to
Ell Paso, as the number of soldiers on
duty here is limited"
Previous reports of Castillo's cap
ture, made to General Villa, proved I'M
true. The latter expressed his gratifi-
cation at the capture. General Scott
was no less jubilant.

Identified by Stolen Fox.

Coatesville.-Two foxes oddly dis
appeared from his kennels near Down
ingtown and w. Warrar ~journeyed to
Parkersburg in search of them. Go
ing to a stable, accompanied by Con-
stable Umsted, Of Gainesville, he de-
clared he would not bring suit against
the men who took the foxes If the
female member of the Reynard family
should fail to recognize him. As he
entered the stall where the foxes were
the pet female fox barked and ran to
her owner, who took her in his arms
and fondled her, while others who had
tried to get near her were unable.
Three members of the Wagontown
hunt have thus found themselves in
serious trouble. Two arrests have
been made-Horace Carson and John
Worth.

ROAD WORKERS
GRAFT COSTLY
Chester Farmer Tells County
Supervisors About Skimpers
SHOULD TOLL FULL HOURS
Quite as Mean to Begin Late and Quit
Early as to Shave on Contracts
Two Kinds Of Road Hogs Are
Specifically Described.

Norristown.-"Too much money is
spent on highway improvement in
Pennsylvania" declared Thomas Nc
Donnell, a farmer and a road super.
visor Of Chester County, In addressing
township road supervisors of Mont
gomery County in annual convention
in the Court House here. Mr.. Nc
Donnell was not opposed to good roads
or their improvement, but his point was
that there Is too much graft" which
takes the form of lack Of conscientious
service on the part Of those who are
employed in the work of bodybuilding
and road repairs. He said that that
man was a CRATER who came to work
at 7.30 In the morning instead Of 7
o'clock, as he was supposed to do, and
quit at $50 instead Of G o'clock, TAX
Ing advantage of the friendship of the
man in charge. The payment of that
nan for an hour which he did not
work is graft pure and simple.
This is only one instance of
what is going on all wei the
State. That is why the speaker said
that too much money was being spent
for highway improvement. He said
a well-drained dirt road was a good
road, and, with the use of a drag"
one which can be kept in good con-
dition at little expense. He said that
in his township of Chester County
there were no stone roads, only dirt.
In answer to a question of a super
visor he declared that the AUTOMOBILE
lists are not the only road hogs" in
existence. He said he has seen
horse-driven vehicles occupied by Just
as big road hogs" as those in motor.
driven vehicles. This Quizzing super
visor seemed to have it Sin" for auto
mobiles, and Mcdonnell turned on him
with the assertion that farmers are
now using autos to a great extent
and why not? Nothing is too good for
the farmer. / would rather sell the
piano and the parlor furniture and
close up the parlor than do without
an automobile. 1t makes the country
not such a bad place in which to live
The Suburban Planting Commission
was given a Jolt in the meeting, and
the supervisors enjoyed it. In his OPP
ening address Samuel II. High, attor-
ney, Of Jenkintown, stated that It
looked like a scheme to improve .
suburbs for the benefit of Philadel-
phia.

EUROPE BEHIND
GREAT BRITAIN
Holds Toll Exemption Violates
Treaty, Says President.
OTHER REASONS FOR REPEAL
OF Such Grave Effect Upon Inter
national Relations They Can
not Be DlvuIged, is
lntimation.

Washington. President Wilson
took the newspaper correspondents a
little further into his confidence con-
corning the international aspects Of
the free tolls controversy when he de-
clared 1t to be his belief that all Eu-
rope stood with Great Britain in re-
gard to the exemption clause Of the
Panama Canal act as a violation Of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
The President was careful to ex-
plain, however, that he did not base
his opinion on any official protests
which these other nations have lodged
against the clause, for. he declared,
Great Britain was the only country to
file a protest. At the same time, he
said, information had come to him
showing clearly how the other govern
ments regarded the matter.
II also leaked out that the President
has given his callers within the last
few days a reason of greater import
ance than any heretofore disclosed by
NloltOio WILLIS w tain why iSPS"i
should be enacted. 1t appears that
this reason has to do with American
foreign relations, but the exact nature
of the matter is being kept a profound
secret.
The farther fact became known that
the Presidents friends look to Repre-
sentative Claude Kitchen, Of North
Carolina, the heir apparent to the ma
jority leadership, to head the fight for
repeal. They want to make a test Of
his strength. Representative Under
wood will probably sit through this
fight and content himself with a mega
tive vote.
Thinks Repeal VIII Pass.
President Wilson is firmly OF the
opinion, following additional confer
ences which he had during the day
with leaders in Congress, that he can
get the repeal measure through at the
present session of Congress. He told
correspondents that at the proper
time the Repeal bill would be pushed
to the front and passed. BY proper
time, he explained, he meant that it
would be taken up as soon as the lead.
ers in both houses could shape the
Legislative program so as to admit of
consideration of repeal.
Although efforts have been made by
some of the House and Senate leaders
to postpone action until the short SEES.
sion, beginning next December, in
order that a break with the President
might not occur before the Congress
sional and Senatorial elections next
fall, the President took the position
that a settlement of the question be-
fore that time was necessary from
the fact that ships will be passing
through the waterway before the short
sessions begins.

Must Tax Penalties.

Acting under authority of State tax
alton laws, the Auditor Generals De-
partment will on March l begin esti-
mating the State taxes of corporations
which have failed to file their reports
of capital stock and loans, according
90 a statement at the Department.
The estimates will be based upon
information secured by the depart
ment's officers and carry with them
a penalty of 10 per cent. All corpor-
atoms are required to file by Decem-
Der 81 statements of their business for
the year ended November 30. When
this is not done the department has
the right to estimate the value OF the
stock for taxation purposes. Several
hundred corporations are said to be
delinquent. A demurrer to the man
damus proceedings to test the anthra-
cite tax suit is to be filed within q
few days by the Attorney Generals
Department, and the case will be ar
gued in the Dauphin County Court.
Meanwhile steps 20 compute this tax
will be taken by the States fiscal au.
thorities.
