HIS SUPPORT

New York, Feb. 21.-Felix Diaz,
who helped to bring about the down
fall Of Madero, but later had to flee
from Mexico for his life. arrived here
today from Havana. He declared that
he had no intention OF allying him
self with Carranza and Villa, and de-
clined to discuss what plans, if any,
he had for regaining the power he
once had in Mexico. Friends who
accompanied him in exile said he left
Havana because he feared the hostil-
ity of the Huertaistas, who had al
ready made one attempt to kill him
since he fled from Vera Cruz,

eral Diaz u don't know how long ]

to washington, and / have not arrang-
ed to meet any emissary from the
revolutionists or any other Mexicans,
except my own personal friends"
There was delegation to meet him
when he stepped off the steamer Nor
70 Castle. A Is year old boy, son Of
a. Miranda, relative Of Mrs. Diaz,
took him ia charge and A. soon as the

Miranda's apartments at 571 West

where he will make his home during
his stay in New York.

Captain Hector Arostegui Like their

Villa has cited the following Ameri
can and European precedents:
General jackson in 1918 hanged
two British subjects, Arbuthnot and
Abrister, for having given alien sym
patty to hostile Indians in Florida.
General Butler hanged Mumford at
New Orleans in 1852 for merely haul
ing down an American flag from over
the custom house; two years later Ken
nedy was hanged by the United States
military authorities at New York be-
cause Of his completely in a plot to
set fire to that city.
What was justifiable under martial
law in the United States then. is Ger
tainly justifiable under martial law
in Mexico now. The fact that Benton
was British subject has no bear
ing on the legal aspects OF the case,
as under international law the alien
is as amenable to martial law as is a
citizen
The British ambassador has trans
mitted to his government without com
ment the information IRON Secretary
Bryan that Benton was executed by
decree. of a court martial, and as far
as can be learned the embassy here
will take no further action in the case
pending the receipt Of instructions
from the foreign office or some com
munication from the state department
calling for an answer.

such men had been detained. The

a spy last night, had merely been re.

be released In day or two. The ac-

The most significant feature of the

Denies Accusation
Among the villistas in the audience

Meanwhile, Mrs J. NJ. Patterson,

With the A. S. NJ. at the top of the

for the whole period, shooting two
goals only one of which counted, how
ever, the second after staying in a

Seeders managed to tie the count after
this, Fry shooting one in the draperles
shortly before the gong.
The game rapidly grew faster begin

with the score a tie 2 and 2.
The Greeks We're forced to use the
triple rushers at the start of this

much Of a handicap to overcome.
With Williams and Evans holding the

The University of Pittsbtlrg expects
to adopt the one year residence rule to
govern all athletic teams, at the Jan

The rule is the most drastic eligible
ity requirement that colleges demand
and is lived up to only by such col
leges as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cor
nell and Pennsylvania, and teams in
the western conference, all Missouri
valley conference and Ohio conference
Under the rule no student is eligible
for varsity athletic competition until
he has been in residence in the uni
versity for one year.
The University of iPttsburg, which
is now 125 years old, has a student
enrolment Of three thousand, and
ranks as one of the biggest colleges IN

Pittsburg has made a remarkable

of this rule is expected to bring this
