PICTURES FOR THE DOGS.
A clnematosraph Show Only interest
ed the Animals In Spots.

A moving picture show was recent
~ given in London to determine what
effect cinematograph picture had on
the intelligence of animals. \ series
Of motion pictures was reeled of in
a darkened room before an audience
OF prize dogs First some pictures of
4 dog show We're run through. The
dogs walked up and had look at il
and turned away, obviously bored and
uninterestcd. Evidently the subject
was too familiar.
They woke up, however. when an
elephant came splashing into a pool
of water and appeared TO be walking
into the room. A massive bulldog
made a dash for the screen. With his
head up and ears pricked. he got
ready to attack. and the whole audi
ence barked and bayed IN blood cur
ding discord. Pictures of birds also
irritated them, but when other ami
mails were shown they quickly recog-
nised that they We're not looking Mt
the real thing and in few seconds
quieted down completely.
The general result of the expert
ment seemed 10 be that dogs do not
understand still pictures. but that they
appreciate motion. though II very
largely depends upon the nature OF
the thing moving.-Pcarson's Weekly.

WAIT FOR DETAILS
Of BENTON
EXECUTION
Government win Not Act Before
Receiving Full Report
VILLA CLAIMS JUSTIFICATION
Leader Of constItutionaIlsts Asserts
that Executed British Subject
Threatened with a Pistol

Washington, Feb. 23.-President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan confer
red briefly late yesterday in Washing
ton on various phases of the Mexican
situation. No announcements were
made after the conference but it is
understood that complete report
on the execution at Jnarez OF William
S. Benton, the British subject, is
awaited before the view OF this gov
eminent toward the incident is made
known.
Sir. Cecil Spring-Rice the British
embasador, is said to have expressed
TO the British foreign office his pleas
IRE ut the promptness with which the
American government. has acted in
seeking to ferret cut the truth about
tho killing OF a British subject. Full
details OF the execu ion are not yet
in the hands OF state department Off
clals but they are rapidly being gat-
hered. 1t is generally admitted that
the case hinges largely on whether
tiers armed That he was high-tem-
pered and had previous difficulties
with the constitutionalists is known
but upon the single question whether
he had revolver when he accosted
Villa depends judgment of the whole
affair. Bentons friends deny he car
ried weapons.
Upon the truth or falsi.y of Villas
statement that Benton tried to kill
him viii depend the view which both
Great Britain and the United States
will take of the affair The prevail
ent belief in official circles is that in
the absence of any satisfactory evil
denco to the contrary 1t will be diff
cult for this government at least to
reject Villas version. To do so wi. h
out satisfactory proofs to the con
trary, It is pointed out by some of
lcials would be unnecessarily 70 pro
voko unfriendly relations with the
constituencies chief who controls a
vast territory where in are many fore
igners about whose protection the
United States is solicitous
In the meantime the constitutional
ist agency in Washington is active In
issuing to the press kilograms from
Gen. villa stating his defense for the
killing. They are alcng the same
lines as previous messages and Villa
asserts in one OF them that he still
has Benton's pis.ol Other kilograms
to the agency say Bentons record in
Chiohuahua was that Of a quarrel
some man and the charge is made
that he was guilty OF having mis-
treated poems on his ranch to the ex-
tent of taking their lives"
Nc surprise was manifested official
ly in Washington at the landing OF
squad Of German bluejackets for the
protection OF the German legation at
Mexico City. This is in line with
the recent action of the British gov
eminent, and is said to be in pursu-
ance to an understanding with the
American government on this point
