consul at Galveston, Tex. to El Paso was regarded as a move calculated tc relieve the American government to some extent of this task in the sec. ton around Juarez. The British en- bassy explained that Consul Percival was sent to Fl Paso primarily to con- suit British subjects about the death of Benton and lend announcement to refugees in the protection of their friends and property in northern Mex ico. The embassy disciains any in- tention of interfering with the Amer ican investigation of the Benton cpl sode, declaring any facts gathered will be of a supplementary character Sir Cecil Spring-Rice has been keep ing in close touch with Secretary Bryan about the details cf Bentoa's execution and twice today inquiries for information about missing Eng lishmen were directed to the state department.

HIGH SCHOOL WALLS
 PROVE DANGEROUS
CITY SHOULD MAKE INSPECTION AND TAKE STEPS FOR RE-
 MOVAL OF THE RUINS.
One Wall is Near Sidewalk, and a Collapse at Any Time Might Take Place if Nothing is Done.

The weather beaten walls of the old High School building are con sidered dangerous by parties who have watched their crumbling and and scaling in the changeable weath. CT of the winter, and the matter has been investigated sufficiently to prove that steps should be taken by the city council in the matter of a public condemnation of the property under the public safety clause of the city authority
 One architect, who was asked to look the situation over with care, has reported that under the conditions that prevail the entire collapse of the building would not he a surprise.
 One of the walls, the south one, stands very close to city sidewalk, where pedstrains are passing at aH times. and there is said to be so much danger in the situation there that immediate steps should be taken to cut off that sidewalk from travel until such time as the city may prop erly condemn the property and have the remedy applied.
 The school board, it seems, is not in a position to proceed in the mat ter because of the matter of collect ing the insurance being tied up in the courts With the adjustment of the insurance in the courts, there is no definite idea when the board can be ready to proceed on it's own auth oritV

SUFFERING FROM COLD HE BAT. TIES ELEMENTS TO ATTEND
 WASHINGTON PROGRAM.
VIEWS BIG MILITARY PARADE
From Glass-EncIosed Stand After Crossing the Icy Potomac in a Yacht-cod Did Not Stop Biq Gel ebration and Parade.

Washington, Feb. 23-President Wilson crossed the ice-jammed Poto- mac today in the naval yacht sylph and from glass-enclosed stand re. viewed a civic and military parade in Alexandria, Va, which marched through frigid snow storm in homer Of the first president of the United States.
 With the exception of brief exercis. es ia the senate the national capitol turned to Alexandria in the environ ment where George Washington had lived for it's official celebration of the birthday. Vice President Marshal laid a wreath on the tomb of Wash ington at Mount Vernon and return ing to Alexandria, joined the presi- dent, members of the cabinet and Gov. Stuart of Virginia in watching the parade.
 Besides the fraterenal organizations of the city, the fire companies of modern and ancient equipment ano floats showing scenes of colonial days the army and navy took prominent part in the pageant Boy Scouts trudged through the snow with ths same fortltude as the soldiers while the blizzard ragged Little girls in covered float showed a school room in Washington's time. On a black board was drawing of the white house which amused the presidential party very much. Here and there in the parade was black faced min. strel. a wagon load of equal SUI frage" advocates, and some children in grotesque Indian garb.
 Weather conditions interferred with the plans for the pageant and it was delayed i1 starting by the fal ure of the president to arrive on time, the ice in the river making a landing difflceult
 It seemed somewhat hazardous trip for the president to make, in view of his susceptibility to colds. but he was in excellent health todd, The president left the white house in one of the big government iimou. sines and practically stepped from it to the gangway of the Sylph. He sat in the yatch's cozy cabin while the little boat steered it's way through the river for seven miles to Alexan- dria. Ice was damned thickly all around the wharf and the boat had to swing about several times and grind the ice jam away before it could get alongside, The president had to climb over the upper deck of the vessel to gangway but was almost instantly in another limousine. Several troops of United States cav airy escorted him to the reviewing stand, while 21-gun salute was fired by the nearby ships.
 The return journey was made in the same way, though the Sylph ex- perienced less difficulty with the ics,. On reaching the navy yard several inches of snow had faiieen, but the white house motors easily plowed through the heavy drifts and brought the president back home in quick time. The whole trip took less than four hours.
