situation with messages passing back
and forth between the state depart
ment and Consul Edwards and his
temporary assistant. G. C. Carrothers,
consular representative at Torreon.
The only announcement by the state
department was that Benton had been
executed after military trial. A copy
of the sentence of the court, setting
forth the evidence in the case, was
promised the American consuler rep
resentatives. Mr.. Bryan said a full re-
porte of the affair was on its way by
mail from Consul Edwards, to whom
General Villa had personally explain
ed the incident.
The killing of a British subject, under
circumstances as dispatches from the
border portrayed, caused those familiar
with Great Britain's aggressive attitude
when her subjects have been wronged to
expect interesting developments. Discus
sion of the case between the ambassador
and the secretary of state developed
clarly the absence of any responsibility
on the part of the United States for the
killing of the British subject even though
it be proven to be unjustifiable. The
united states, II was StluI Hdu eAerteu
every effort to save the mans life. and
the fact that through its consular officers
the American government might have vtr-
tually recognized the de facto control
of Villa over certain portion of north
ern Mexico, it was held in no way In
creased its liability for Villas acts.
The British government, through the
embassy, was informed that the state
department is awaiting the mailed report
on the tragedy from American Consul
Edwards.
Though the consuPs report Is not like
~ to reach here for few days, details
of the incident began to filter into the
state department in brief dispatches to-
night The departure of Gen. Villa for
the south was not looked upon by officials
here as having any connection with the
death of Benton, as 1t was said that Villa
had been planning this move for several
days.

SPORTING NOTES.

Harvard is comforting a public favor
In granting the use of the Stadium to the
New England Intercollegiate A. A. a. 1t
is centrally located for the convenience
of all the colleges in the association and
the athletes just feel their oats when
performing on Harvard's track.
1t has been a positive relief the past
few days not to have to read what Pres.
Ban Johnson and Charles Webb Murphy
are going to do to each other.
Johnny Evers is real philosopher.
Why. indeed, shouldn't he just forget the
voluble Charley Murphy? The old COM
bination of Tinker and Evers and Chance
has Jared so we'll by being bounced by
Murphy that it may be considered path
to success to get ones discharge from
the Cub boss.
This headline appeared over the an
nouncement in one paper that Charley
Ham had offered another cup for the
Harvard baseball players: Cup for Har-
ward Star" 1t has impressed me that
the cup was to be wone by Saving
wood" as the phrase goes. General eff
cheney is the thing that will count In
winning that trophy.
Baseball players who will not take
pains to keep up in their college work
are not being tolerated this winter by
DIR. Frank Sexton, the Harvard Varsity
baseball coach. The battery candidates
are now working in the Soldiers Field
cage, but the coach will not allow men
who are on probation to come down for
work.
Mike Donin, one of the most consistent
batters in the big leagues, has been en-
gagged as pinch hitter for the New York
Nationals, it is announced in New York
Friday. Donlin takes the place of
Moose Mccormick, who has secured
managerial berth.

WATERPOWER POLICY
Continued from Page one)

Legally speaking, do not think
there can be any dispute that, with
respect to the question of power the
position of the federal government Is
paramount Nothing can be done
without its consent. There is no JUS
tifcation for a policy of do-nothlhg'
Therefore. the question is, what is the
wise policy to adopt that something
may be done? The interests to be con-
sIdored and the equities with respect
thereto, l view as follows;
FIRST. of course, there are the COM
munities which will benefit by the utll-
ization of the water power developed
t.y the placing CT Dams in navigaple
streams. Next is the immediate SOW
elial, over them which would direct
tbs matter and have power with re-
specf thereto, we're it not for the par
amount power above alluded to when
resides in the federal government
Finally. there is the federal govern
ment with absolute power by reason OF
its ability legally to- prevent the doing
of anything without its consent.
Therefore. the proper solution seems
TO me to be to adopt policy when
recognizes
each of those in interest. l conceive
the equitable sphere of the federal
government to be to set to II that
this great public utility wherever
awaited of should be availed of in
way that will benefit the greatest
number under the most favorable
terms possible: and in doing so, TO
recognize the justice (Not as a mat

1T is a new public dam act.
Briefly speaking. it provides that

state in which this company is incor-

the prevention of monopoly and other
misuse have provided commission or

must have provided proper regulations
TO the end that the company shall
make proper use of the utility, give
proper service, make only reasonable
