 Administration.

 The president does not believe any compromise measure such as has been suggested, to give to the chief execu- tive discretionary authority to regulate tolls will be necessary.

 The question came up in the con- sideration of the District of Columbia. appropriation bill to provide automo- piles for the district commissioners.
 Senator Williams suggested that this was good place to start a much needed reform. It was public scan daI, he said, the extent to which the government had gone into the purchase or automobiles for cabinet officers and department heads who, as far as gov ernment business was concerned had no use for them except to come to their work and go home again.

Fl Paso Tex, March 12-Information that evidence thus far gathered by the Carranza commission indicates Major Rudolfo Fierro as the slayer Of Will liam S. Benton, a British subject. as stunned importance tonight with the ar rival of American passengers from Chihuahua with reports, not confirmed that FYerro had been arrested, charged with the murder of two Mexican rail road men.
 Murdered in Gold Blood
 That the railroad men were murder ed is known, and it is said that the staying was done in cold blood. That Fierro really has been arrested in con nection with the case is only a report, but the information is regarded as probably correct by those who have been conversant with the fact that the Carranza commission started work with information that Benton was kill cd by Fierro.
 Execution of Rauch.
 It is said also that the commission has gathered convincng evidence that Colonel Fidel Avila, in command of the garrison at Juarez, ordered the ex- ecution of Gustave Ba.uch, German American who was tried as a spy, but in whose case no verdict was rendered. Rebel officers at Juarez and at Chihua- hua repeatedly have denied that he was killed.
 Accused of Being Extremely Cruel
 In the case of F'ierro, who is accused by residents of being extremely cruel, those familiar with the situation say they have looked for some charge un- connected with the Benton case to be brought against him as a cloak on which he could be held or for his dis appearance or apparently accidental death While investigators, it is said, have been convinced for the last two weeks that it was he, and not General Villa. who killed Benton, it is reported they did not expect he would live to face that particular charge. He was in Villas office when Benton was killed, and is said to be a distant relative of khe rebel chief.
 Killing of Railroad Men.
 The Mexican railroad men are said to have been killed in resort at Chi huahua. They were members of un- ion, and agents of the organization made the complaint to General Villa.
