BRITISH subject MURDERED
AT JUAREz BY VILLAS MEN
Mexican Bandit Fails to Heed Warn
ing to Protect Foreigners and
Orders Execution.

Washington.-A slumbering Mexican
situation was brought quickly to a
point OF intense international interest
Friday by the fash of a message that
William S. Benton. British subject
had been killed in Juarez by order of
General Francisco Villa, the copstitu-
tionalist commander.
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice the British
ambassador, conferred with Secretary
Bryan about it; President Wilson and
his cabinet discussed it briefly, and
thorough investigation was ordered
by the state department from consular
representatives on the border.
In this case, for the first time since
the present revolution began a year
ago, the warning from the United
States government to Mexican factions
to protect all foreigners went unheed-
ed, although there is every evidence
to show that both the British embas-
sador an dthe state department were
advised too late of Benton's impend-
ing fate to interceded for him.
The news shocked OFFICIALS who had
come to believe that General Villa full
ly realized the position of the Amer
lean government in regard to the pro-
lection of foreigners in Mexico partic-
ularly in the north of that country.

MAY FORCE INTERVENTION.
Execution of British Subject Brings
Mexican Situation to Point of
Intense National Interest.

Mexico City.-The execution of vii
liam S. Benton, a British subject, by
the constitutionalists in Juarez has
revived the fear among the govern.
ment supporters that the United
States will be forced by Great Britain
to take action that easily might be.
come Intervention.
Although since revolutionary condi.
lions assumed serious proportions
three years ago there have been
killed in various parts of the country
some $50 Americans, including par.
Elephants on both sides of the revolu-
ton, there are on record the deaths
OF only four Britishers, including
Benton. The three others were killed
in districts where the chiefs of
neither faction had any direct author
ity, and Benton's is the first case
where 1t appears that culpability
may be placed definitely.

IMMENSE DAMAGE
CAUSED BY FLOOD
PROPERTY LOSS IN CALIFORNIA
WILL EXCEED s4,5oo,ooo AND
TOLL OF SEVEN LIVES.
Torrents Destroy More Than One
Hundred Homes in Los Angeles.
Railroads Are Crippled and
Many Towns Isolated.

Los Angeles..With a loss of prob
ably more than s4,5O0,000 and a toll
of seven human lives since Wednes
day, southern California began to re
cover Saturday from the effects of the
worst storm in its history Swept by
wind and rain for three day, most OF
the territory between Techanchapi
mountains and the Mexican line waA
flooded, but with the sun shining
most of the day the situation improved
considerably and, while nearly all of
the towns affected remained isolated,
progress was made toward re-estab-
fishing wire and rail communication.
According to an estimate made by
A. c. Hansen, assistant city engineer
Los Angeles was damaged to the ex-
tent of at least S1,500,000. One hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars rep
resented the damage to city streets
alone. The balance represented loss
es sustained by railroads and by cit
Zens who lost their homes, which
we're swept away by the floods with
all of their household effects.
Except in the vicinity of Pomona,
this county, where young groves sui
fered severely, orange growers report
ed comparatively little damage.
Ranches and small farms in the low
lands were inundated, but no reliable
data could be obtained as to the loss
es sustained by them.
