teing from persons who have already given some personal study to the proposition and others, being from in divduals who have heard of the pro- ductivety of this section and are in search of facts relating thereto before paying a personal visit.
 In a long personal letter to the Secretary, J. G. Binder, of Wheaton, H., who spent a fortnight in this county looking at lands in December, refers to the land question as fol- lows:
 "I am still looking for an alluvial plantation of 1000 to 5000 acres to acres for actual settlers. I have lined up on e near Pine Bluff, others in Lou isiana, but in every instance the prices in Jefferson county are higher than in Louisiana.
 q am exceedingly pleased with the Arkansas river valley plantations and my syndicate would buy one if we could get it right and locate num- Der of desirable settlers, besides would like to locate in Pine Bluff in a year or so, because I like the town and the pushing qualities of the peo ple"
 MT. Binder writes that he will pay this section anther visit soon and will be glad to look at any good prop osition which may be offered.
 Another letter comes from P. A. Wiley, stockman at Caldwell, Idaho, who desires to locate hog ranch in this vicinity Some previous cor respondence has been had with MT. Wiley who now writes as follows:
 T understand an electric line Is being built between your city and Lit tie Rock. I should be interested in tract of land, part in cultivation and part in timber, on the line. Must be good soil and produde abundantly. If you can find such tract I will ap- preciate it. Of course, the price wifi have to be right"
 Mir. Wiley wants about three hun dred acres and will close deal .: an early date if an acceptable one if of fered.
 Another inquiry written on a Mex ican postcard asks about agricultur- al and fruit lands, climate, roads and other particulars, the writer giving an Angeles address. The general run of inquiries nowadays is appar- ently serious and is not induced by merely curiosity about the country, and the number of actual settlers now coming indicates that decided movement in this direction has def initely set in.

OVER BENTON AFFAIR.
Request That Army Surgeon Be Per- mitted to View Body Has So Far
 Been Unanswer by Him.

Washington, Feb 25.-Before the Senate Committee on Foreign rela- tions today, Secretary of State Bryan practically admitted that Villa, the reber chieftain had d efied the United States and Great Britain
 He related such facts as he thought the committee should know relative to the killing of William s. Benton, the British subject and recited the dispatches that had cen received in which Villa had agreed one represen- tative of this government to examine the body when it was exhumed at the pleasure of Villa himself.
 MT. Bryan said he had demanded that an army surgeon be permitted to examine the body, but that no re- ply had been received to that re- quest
 Secretary Bryan came before the committee at its request, to discuss the Mexican situation, but the facts he submitted related almost entirely to the killing of Benton. He was asked numerous questions which he answered in general terms, but did not go into detail with regard to any of the matters brought up.
 When asked how many Americans had been killed during the revolution iV, Mo hn not know. There was barely quor- um of the committee present owing to the absence from the city. The meeting was called to attempt to be- gin some action that would stop the threatened outbreak in the Senate, which has been apparent for several days. When asked at the conclusion of the session it was stated the com mitte would take no further action until an official report had been re- ceived as to the manner of the kill ing of Benton.
 Secretary Bryan told the commit tee that the present policy Of tne administration was receiving the sup port of Europ can governments and referred to the speech of Sir Edward Gray in the House of Commons as an indication that the policy of this gov ernment was satisfactory.
 Many phases of the situation were brought up through questions, some of which were answered and some evaded One of the questions of the recognition of the belligerancy Of the revolutionists, MT. Bryan urged. that the time was not ripe for tha.. That condition might arise that would make such recognition imperative, lie admitted.
 It was at the earnest solicitation of Mir. Bryan himself that the com- mittee decided to do nothing further until report had been received on the Benton case.

 Its lie, a rotten lie, to say that I killed Herman Rosenthal," said the neat, we'll dressed little man who once ran a gambling house in the lower tenderloin and now works eight hours day for an electrical concern. "It is purely a frame-up between Becker and the gunmen. He tried to put it on me so that they will think he is working to get them free and in return, they sit tight just as he thought I would do.'
 Vallon's attorney, Bernard l.. Sand Ter, who is also acting for Rose and Shipps, saw District Attorney Whit man during the afternoon and carried promises from all three of their ser vices to any extent the prosecutor would demand Webber, the fourth of the famous Quartette, has nothing to do with the other three.
 Anybody can see," said Va1lon, that this is another of the same dir ty sort of frame-ups Becker has hand led all his life. haven't heard any thing more than I have read and haven't discussed it with anyone but MT.

 'He is afraid those four men would be sore because he got out and would "spill' all they know about him. l don't suppose they could hurt him much in a sourt of law, under the rules, but I know that they were told when they were hired who they were going to kill Rosenthal for, and Becker doesn't want them against him.
 "He wants those four men to sit tight just as he would sit tight and for that reason, tries to frame me. It won't go. I won't stand for it. I'm trying to live decent and l have nice family, and for their sake won't let this cursed thing come up again. It was bad enough to go through 1t once. They will never drag me in gain.
 Becker picked me to accuse be- cause played the smallest part in the killing of Herman Rosenthal, and because I talked less than the rest. have always been close1mouthed. This is the first interview I ever had Becker counted on my keepin listgl, Becker counted on my keeping still, and letting him get away with it. He didn't think I'd defend myself unless it comes to court, where he will never bring it.
 "I notice that he says he will spend the rest of his Tiff ehunting for the murderer of Rosenthal. He doesn't have to hunt He knows who killed Rosenthal, because Webber and Rose told him that night and he congratu- lated them.
