RECENT RAINS BREAK
 UP PICTURE SCHEDULES

The recent rains have worked more or less havoc with the schedules of the moving picture shows even as great havoc has been worked in the schedules of the railroads themselves. Pictures due to be shown in Phoenix the last run of last week and the first run of this in many cases have been delayed and probably will have to be cancelled on account of the de- regular service will be continued to- day.
 Manager, Leecraft of the Lion thought he was caught in the mael- strom, but by the use of his headpiece worked himself out of the fix in the best sort of shape. When he found he was shy. having heard that Bob of the great Arizona fair, he got hold of the film and has been run ming it.
 The film is more valuable than many others and of greater interest to Phoenicians on account of the splendid pictures of the fat stock show and other parts of the interest ing events that occurred there than any thing It shows the sort of at fractions that are obtained for the State Fair and the size of the crowds that attend. as well as giving splendid views of the excellent pure blooded stock for which the Sal River Valley is rapidly becoming famous.
 A large number of people availet themselves of the opportunity of see ing the stirring scenes of the grea gathering. The pictures will be showr again tonight.

Parliament Is Stirred


 LONDON. February 23.-The British parliament and press have been stirred by the recent killing of Will liam s. Benton. British subject by order of the Mexican constitu- tionalists under General Villa, at JuareZ, and today the question of the protection of the British interests and subjects residing in Mexico was made the subject of earnest considera- tion in both the house of commons and the newspapers.
 Sir Edward Gray, secretary of state for the foreign affairs. outlined the attitude of the British government. and the nature of the communication which the British ambassador at Washington had had with the govern ment of the United States. It is said that Sir Cecil Spring Rice had told Secretary of State Bryan that public opinion of Europe is likely to be seriously affected by the action of General Villa, which announcement was greeted with cheers. The foreign secretary assured the house that the government is taking all possible steps to ascertain the facts of the Benton case, and secure full protection for it's nationals in Mexico, but pointed out that the government is powerless egions. The newspapers, while await ing the result of the inquiry insti- tuted by the United States, vir- tually united in condemning the ac- ton of Villa. which some of them have regarded as murder
 Francis Dyke Acland. parliamentary under secretary for foreign affairs made a statement in which he said: The justification of Mexico is the object we earnestly desire to see ac- complished. but it is impossible to af- feet by British intervention. We dc not intend to make any attempt of thai character which would be both futile and impolitic''
 That the British government is con- cerned over the reported disappearance of other Europeans in Mexico is evi. denced by the fact that Sir Edward ha. | communicated with the ambassador a Washington respecting steps that i might be possible to take to ascertain the whereabouts of these people.
