THFt yERGARA INCIDENT
UNITED STATES HOLDS pIcTA-
TOR RESPONSIBLE FOR
DEATH OF CITIZEN
INVESTIGATION IS' DELAYED
AMERICAN AND BRITISH CON-
suLs HAVE NOT YET GONE
TO BENToNs GRAVE

Washington, Feb. 27.-After long
lapse in the diplomatic exchanges be.
tween washington and the City OF
Mexico, an attempt has been made to
reopen the correspondence by the sub
mission Of an appeal by the Huerta
government for the reconsideration by
the United states of the recent rails
ing Of the embargo on arms to Mexico.
The feature of the Mexican com
munication said to have been issued
at Mexico city last night is the ale
cation that a state of anarchy now
exists in so much of Mexico as is
occupied by the rebe1 forces 1t is set
out that wherever the Huerta govern
ment is in power, full protection has
been given to natives and foreigners.
Therefore, the United States is in
vited to reflect seriously ION the sad
consequences" that arming of rebels
will bring, within the opinion Of the
Huerta government.
The assumption in official circles Is
that Huerta does not, by the presen-
fation of such a remarkable note, ex-
pect to bring about Immediately a
change OF policy on the part of the
washington administration. The real
purpose is believed to add another
note to the exchanges, perfecting his
case, as it were, for the consideration
of world powers. 1t Is not expected
that the state department will return
any formal answer to this last COM
munication.
Charge Algara at sne American en-
bassy was notified today that the
Huefta government had delivered
such communication to the Ameri-
can representative and diplomatic rep
resentatives of other powers in Mex
leo City. He did not receive a copy
of it.

Secretary Bryan said just before
entering the cabinet meeting thai
Consul Letcher's dispatches also con
firmed previous information that Ben
tons body was in Chihuahua City. He
said arrangements would be made
soon for the visit of the commission
to chihuahua to view the body and in
timated that the disposition of il
would be settled after the medical
examination.
The cabinet discussed practically
nothing else but Mexican affairs, dis
patches being read from Consul Letch-
er saying General Villa would give
permission for a complete medical
examination of the body of william
s. Benton, British subject, at Chihua-
-hua,
While the Benton incident was dis
cussed in great detail, members Of the
cabinet were particularly concerned
over the hanging of vergara. The
act, they believed, had shocked the
Americana people and should not go
unpunished. Steps will be taken to
impress the Huerta government of
the feeling Of the United States in
the matter, particularly after repeat
ed assurance had been given by the
federals that yergara would not be
hanged.
So far as could be learned the cabi-
net was not inclined to condone the
killing of Benton, but in discussing
responsibility for the act, some mem
bers were inclined 20 mink Benton
at least was indiscreet in going to
the camp of a military commander,
with whom he was not on friendly
terms, and entering into argument
with him.
Final Judgment was not reached by
the cabinet as to the merits Of the
Benton case, but it was apparent that
vigorous steps to procure the body
for his widow would be continued.
Secretary Bryan announced late to-
day that a demand for the punish
ment Of those responsible FOR the
killing Of Clenente Vergara has been
sent by the United States to the

FORMER PRESIDENT SAYS THEY
TEND TO BUILD UP aJUDl-
ciAL FAMILIES

Washington, Feb 27 Former Pres
ident Taft appeared today before the
house judiciary committee in the ca
pacity of president of the Americas
Bar association, and, with several
other members Of the association, adj
vocated passage Of the Clayton bin to
authorize the supreme court to pre-
scribe forms and rules Of procedure
for federal courts on the common law
side.
"All men delight in the exercise or
patronage. said Mr.. Taft. Of course
on this matter am speaking to tha
republicans Of your committee. not the
democrats" he added with SMILE
and continued
"One Of the trousres with life ap-
pointments for judges is that the.
temptation is strong to build up 'judic-
ial families. Lawyers know that it,
is often dangerous thing to make
any charge against court clerk be
fore the Judge who appointed him
That temptation could be removed BY
congress. and the courts as they are
now constituted cou be vindicated
without resort to tfe ecaH, which I
believe is harmful
Appointments Of receivers by fed
eral judges should be made from a.
list furnished by the interstate com.
meree commission. At some later
date it probably would be advisable
to provide for the examination Of the
rules Of procedure BY commission
with view to harmonizing and ad-
ministering the two sides Of FEDERAL
court work For the present be-
lieve the authorization contained in
the bill is all that should be attempt
ed" IS
Alton B. Parker said there was an
ideal In view. as suggested By Mr..
Taft. Of complete uniformity ii pro-
cedure throughout the federal courts.
and perhaps, even the state courts at
some time.
Senator Root declared legislators
had built up under the pressure OF
individual interests, codes Of proceed
ure which prevented the courts from
administering justice His own state.
he said, was the worst sinner in that
respeet. The man Of small means be-
came discouraged or even ruined, he
said, while men Of wealth secured i'm
munity from being brought to justice.
Mr. Taft said he wished to call the
committees attention to one fact.
'sYou can safely consider this bill.
said he since It has the approval
Of the progressive party and Of Mr.
Root and myself I want the conc
mittee to get that fact; that where

El Paso, Tex, Fen. 27.-George G.
Carothers today admitted that he had
postponed his departure for Chihua-
hua, and while he was silent as to his
reasons, it is assumed that the ar
rival here of the British emissary,
Charles Arthur Perceval, to partici-
pate in the Benton investigation, and
the receipt by Carothers Of bulky
dispatch from Mexico accounts for
the delay.
