ENGLISH PRESS COMMENTS ON
PRACTICAL SURRENDER Of AUERTA

for the murder at Juarez of William
S Benton, the Scottish rancher."
The Evening Standard says: The
Washington administration has won
a diplomatic victory. President VIII
son has been persistent and patient
in his policy, but it is likely enough
he will be met now with other OBJ
stacles just as haS.l to surmount S
was General Huertas obstinacy"
The Globe takes much the same
view, saying: The elimination Of
General Huerta is triumph of sorts
for President Wilson, but it may be
assumed that his difficulties and anx-
ieties are by no means over. There
is no reason to suppose that the real
opinions of the Mexican people will
have more opportunity to assert
themselves under General Carranza
than they had under General Huerta
The United States, however, has been
warned by experience not to inquire
too closely nor to expect too much.

o my child said Mrs Innes. For
six years / have searched the whole
of the United States for Innes, hep
ing that | might find the son he SO
cruelty stole from me. Up to this
time all that | have ever heard was
lin the form of a short note from In
mes soon after he left New York, say
ing he was going to take the boy to
expect to see either of them again"
Concerning his record in New York
City, OF which Innes refused to speak,
it was learned that in June, 1908, he
was arrested on a charge of bigamy,
and in default Of $1,000 bail was sent
to the Combs. Mrs. Clarice Innes
declared yesterday that it cost her
81, 900 to get him out OF the difficulty
after he had spent a week in jail.
Until short time before that Innee
had a law office at No. 220 Broadway.
The bigamy case developed that
there was another Mrs Innes, who
came of a well-known family, before
Mrs. Clarice Innes appeared on the
scene. This wife, Mrs. Caroline
Green Innes, still lives i'll New York.
She sued Innes for abandonment and
non-support.
She alleged that four years pre-
viously she met him. He told her
he did act believe i'll marriage cere-
monies, and she agreed 10 a marriage
by contract.
