Mail Carrier Saw Burglars
Who Ransacked Post Home
Special to the Evening Star.

SUMMIT, Dec 1s.-The police have
been unable to secure any clue to the
two men who yesterday morning en-
tered the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles II. Post, at Whittredge place
and Dogwood drive. and stripped it of
everything of value, and then escaped
after bidding the time of day with
one of the men employed about the
house.
1t developed last night that a post
man, John Baldwin, saw them, or
men he thinks to have been them
while he was collecting mail In Ho-
fart avenue. He said it was about
$40 o'clock, and the two men were
heading for Springfield avenue, car
rying three suit cases.
Mr.. and Mrs Post returned from
New York yesterday and are busy
today preparing an inventory of their
loss. Mr.. Post said that the list of
stolen articles would probably not be
completed for a day or two. With a
representative of New York insur-
ance company, In which the Post
valuables were insured, Mr.. Post Is
busy checking the missing articles
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Post were much
affected when they returned from
to find all of their yaluables gone for
the second time in one year.
Last night the Post home was
guarded by ex-Policeman John j.
Cannon, who year ago in February
had an experience in the vicinity OF
the Post home with gentleman
burglar, who kidnapped Gannon's fell
low officer. former Policeman william
George, and tied him up In a saw
mill and compelled Cannon to run
at the point of gun.
Chief of Police George w Brown
was engaged in searching for traces
Of the burglars all day yesterday, but
returned home last night without
finding a trace of them. The police
are trying to figure out Just how It
happened that the burglars should
visit the Post home each time when
the family is away, and especially
yesterday morning. when John Hall,
the negro chauffeur. who lives in the
garage near the Post home, was also
awav from the place.
That the burglars were aware OF
the absence of the Post family and
the chauffeur was clearly indicated
from the leisurely manner in which
they ransacked the house. Because
of the large quantity and bulk OF
many OF the silver pieces taken II is
the belief of the police that more than
one trip was made from the house
to a waiting auto or other vehicle
nearby the burglars.
Mr.. Post was much disheartened
over the robbery last night, and some
of his friends said today that yester-
days robbery might be the cause OF
the removal OF the Post family from
this city.

British Railways Collect
Large Sums for Excess Baggage

The travelling public paid the Brit
ish railway companies $42,O00,0OO for
excess baggage in 1913, and this not
withstanding the fact that the Eng
lishmen boasts that he travles light
compared with the average Ameri-
can. The only way that this great
amount can be explained is that the
Englishman invariably sends his lug
gage In advance and thus pays for
what ordinarily the companies would
carry for nothing.
Here, as elsewhere, every passenger
is allowed a fixed amount OF bag
gage. The rate on excess, like that
In America is fairly heavy, and this,
together with the big revenue de-
rived from CARRYING baggage In ad-
vance, which has to pay q certain
rate. helps to make up the millions
that are added to the companies

KILLING OF BENTON.
Scotchman Alleged to Have Been
Shot by Villas Order.

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. GA new
version of how William S. Benton
met his death at Juarez, essentially
differing from the official account
given out by Gen. Villa, and believed
by Bentons friends and countrymen
to be authentic, has reached here.
According TO this new Version,
Benton went to Villas office in .Jp-
arez and abruptly entered the dat
ter's quarters withoat"a formal I'M!
vitation. Villa at once recognized
Benton as an old enemy dating back
TO times prior to the Instruction,
and slipping behind his visitor, bar
red the door. Benton, they say, did
rot reach for his hip pocket or make
any menacing motion, and neither
did he use abusive language, or
give uttcrance to threats, but began
to complain strongly about repeated
robbefiez on his ranch, and wanted
% know when he would be allowed
% return 70 It without further mo-
lcstation
Then, according to this version,
villa, pretending to walk TO the doorsi
slipped behind Benton and felt his
rip pocket, in which ne found re
volver Holding Benton, he immedl-
atcly called in his guards and placed
him under arrest, charging him with
attempted murder Benton was then
locked in another room, and later ne
was asked for personal interview
In this talk, it is said, Villa claims
that Benton confessed to him frank
" that lie had intended to 90 hlm'
harm. ard Villa then admitted that
he ordered Benton shot at once.
