BENTON SLAIN BY
GEN. VILLAS
BODYGUARD
Remains Then Destroyed to Hide
Crime, Is Statement Attributed
to Rebel Captain. T

Ell PASO, TEXAS. March WI
liam S. Benton, the British citizen
whose death has aroused two conti-
nents. was shot by a member of Gen
eral Francisco Villas bodyguard, ami
his body was then destroyed to hide
the crime. according to a statement
to-day attributed to Captain Jose
Alcalde, a member of the Constitu-
tionalist army in Juarez.
Ordinarily in Mexican court pro-
cedure, both civil and military, the
name of the person on trial Is signed
to the testimony given at his trial.
There Is said to be no such document
relating to the court martial Of Ben
ton, which is further proof that he
was shot down while upbraiding Villa
in Juarez.
1t is believed that the soldier who
shot Benton will be put to death in
order to placate the British Govern
ment, II he has not already been ex-
ecuted to prevent his exposure OF the
actual facts Of the case.
Belief exists here that confidential
agents have carried dispatches relat-
ing to both the death OF Benton and
the disappearance OF Gustav Bauch
from Villa to Carranza. Carranza Is
suspected of knowing the identity Of
the actual murderer in the case. and
also OF knowing the facts in the dis
appearance Of Bauch, who is Sup
posed to have been asssagsinated in

as regards the designation of Rich

"The committee has reached no

be very thankful that the new dances
have been severely criticised.
Dancing is more popular all over
the United States now than 1t ever
has been, and it is bound to have a
beneficial effect on the health of the
people, for there is no better exercise
than dancing.
"An afternoon Of dancing, in my
opinion, is better than walking for an
hour or two. In dancing there is an
incentive-the desire to do the best
one can; walking for exercise, with
no particular destination and no par
ticular hurry, is nothing but just
plain, tiresome plugging-and | do
not believe in plugging.
Sees Nothing Immodest.
81 have never been able to find
anything immodest or immoral in the
new dances, and they are getting bet
ter all the time. The dipping and the
wriggling that characterized some OF
them when they were introduced has
disappeared almost entirely It is not
considered ultra now to wriggle and
dip the more erect and graceful you
are the better dancer you are.
"The tango and all the other much
abused but really beautiful dances
are here to stay but the days of
their critics are numbered. A new
diversion or pleasure win come along,
and the disciples of criticism are al
ways searching for something new.
when another fad makes it's ap-
pearanee, the criticism of the dances,
and likewise of women's fashions, will
Cease, for the critics will not have
time to attend to them.
GAS far as women's clothes are con-
cerned, all women will tell you that
they are very comfortable; and all
non-critics will declare that they are
more beautiful and graceful than the
dress of our grandmothers
FutrelIe's Stories in Movies.
"And, after all. whose business is
1t what kind Of clothing a. woman
wears? Nobody's but the woman's,
of course. I 40 not recollect that any
women have criticised the clothing
men wear, and yet some OF them do
look rather funny. We do not think
1t is any of our business, whereas the
critics-usually men-thnk II their
solemn duty to tell us what to wear
and how 10 wear it,"
Mrs. Futrelle came to Atlanta from
Baltimore, where she spent two weeks
with her daughter, Virginia, who is
in school at Notre Dame She was
accompanied by her son, John.
Atlantans who knew and admired
the brilliant author OF the Thinking
Machine" will be glad to know that
many of his short stories and books
are to appear in moving pictures.

films OF three Of Mr. Futrele's stories,

DANIEL s LOCKER
CLUB MOVE To
Be OPPOSED
Exact Terms Of Baptist Pastors
Plan to Pledge Members
Still Kept Secret.

Stirred by the announcement that
DR.. G. W.. Daniel, pastor. and the
board of deacons of the First Baptist
! Church will present resolutions deal
ing with the locker club~situation to
| their congregation Sunday morning,
| prominent members of the church
were talking in whispers Saturday of
possible opposition to the ministers
| plan.
The opposition to the idea of hav-
| ing the church take a definite stand
on the locker club question by re-
questing members to resign their
| memberships in clubs that violate the
| law with locker feature has been
| simmering since the pastor and the
board of deacons met several DAYS
| ago and passed the resolutions.
| Those members who disapprove of
the resolution will not make any eff
| fort to prevent their presentation TO
the congregation Sunday morning. it
| is understood, but many of them
| think they will not be adopted in
| their present form and congregational
action taken without considerable OPP
| position.
Green's Statement Quoted.
The opponents of the resolutions
have expressed their attitude in the
matter by quoting the statement Fri
day by John M. Green, chairman If
the board &c deacons. who said: 1.-THE
Baptist Church is democracy and Is
not run by any one man or set Of
men,"
The exact nature of the resolutions
are kept secret, and members of the
board and DR. Daniel declare they
will not be made public until Sunday
morning. One of the members of the
board, however, said they will put the
church distinctly on record as against
locker clubs
Another member declared the res
olutions will be more in the nature Of
an appeal to the Individual menu
bers of the church to let their con-
sciences govern them in their affilia-
tion with locker clubs.
Movement May Spread.
1t was reported Saturday that if DR..
Daniels crusade is successful and he
obtains the adoption of his resolu-
tions, the action Of the lrst Baptist
Church will be followed by similar
action in every Baptist church in At
lanta; or, at least, attempts will be
made by the pastors to get their
churches to take similar action.
In this event, some of Atlantas best
known men will be concerned, as the
Baptist churches of the city number
among their memberships many of
the leaders in local civic affairs, who
also hold memberships in the high
class clubs of the city. Some of them
are officials in these clubs.
DR.. Daniels resolutions. after they
are read to the congregation Sunday
morning, will be returned to the
board of deacons, and will then be
presented to the church for congre-
gational action oGc night during the
week, probably Wednesday.

New Steps Are Pretty, and Denun-
citation Makes Them More Pop
uIar, She Declares.

The end of the wave of criticism
sweeping the country, in so far as it
affects the So called new dances"
and feminine fashions, is seen by Mrs.
Jacques Futrelle, widow of the fa-
nous writer who was lost in the III
tanic disaster and herself an author.
She is in Atlanta for weeks stay
with her mother Mrs. j. I. Peel, of
No. "a West Fourth street.
Mrs. Futrelle thinks that launching
diatribes against such dances as the
tango. the one-step, the hesitation
and Others and the holding up of
hands in righteous horror because
woman dares dress becomingly, com
fortably and as she pleases, is but
the cropping out of the instictively
human desire to be forever talking
about something She thinks criti-
cism itself has gotten to be more of
fad than any of the things criti-
cised.
Criticism Good Advertising.
"Some people, especially those who
hold positions that bring them more
or less in the public notice" Mrs. Flu
trelle said, seem neveF to be happy
unless they are condemning some
popular diversion and pleasure-usu-
ally with a sublime ignorance of their
subject
They mast forever be talking
about something, and they talk so
much they advertise the thing that
they condemn and everybody feels
that they must really try it and see II
1t is as bad as the critics say it is
and then the particular fad which
has been under fire becomes popu-
lar.
1T seems that nothing nowadays
can be firmly established unless 1t
has first been criticised and con-
demne1 by everybody who thinks it
is his duty to attend TO everybody
else's business.
"This craze for criticism and the
eagerness with which people crlti-
else everybody in sight, has brought
about an unusual and an amusing
condition of things. Criticism has be-
come the fad OF people who criticise
fads and faddists; to criticise has be-
come more popular than to do the
things that are criticised.
Made New Dances Popular.
I'VE owe the critics much, and
particular do we owe to them the
beautiful and graceful dances that
have been introduced within the past
few years. Had the tango and the
hesitation and the one-step and the
others not been greeted with such
storm Of criticism they probably
would have abode their destined hour
and went their way-and we should
