to drive east and north. A few blocks
away they left the automobile and
took street car bound for the north
ern limits of the city. Before board
ing the street car they told the chauf-
feur to "beat it" and warned him not
to follow them.
Lucas and another employee Of the
shoe company went to a bank in the
afternoon and drew the money with
which to pay the factory employees.
Later they went in an automobile to

COMMONS HEARS OF MEXICO
British Government Does Not Intend
to Allow Benton Killing TO
Drop.

London-The British Government
reserves to itself the right to obtain
full reparation for the death of VIII
liam S. Benton in Mexico at the hands
Of General Villa, the rebel leader. Sir
Edward Grey made the announcement
in the House of Commons, answering
an interrogatory as to the status of
the Mexican situation and the Benton
inquiry.
England, said Sir Edward, has no
intention to send an armed force into
Mexico, and for the present is content
to leave the Benton affair in the
hands of the Washington government,
until the State Department has had
reasonable opportunity to act, but the
British Government does not intend
to allow the Benton killing to drop
Mexico, added the secretary, gives
every indication of a desire to con-
ceal the truth.

PLAN TO PENSION MOTHERS
New York Commission Says There Is
Need of State Assistance for

New York.-The New York State
Commission on Relief for Widowed
Mothers, in an announcement just
made public, says there is need for
government assistance for the wild
owed mothers with dependent chill
dren, and that it is feasible to provide
efficient, wise and administrative ma
chinery for the state to meet this
need.
The commission expects to make its
report to the legislature March Is. 1t
was said to be economically wise as
well as morally sound for the state to
grant relief in the homes OF worthy
widowed mothers rather than to force
them to the alternative Of commit
ment or of working to the consequent
loss of home life.

CREATE SCENE OF DISORDER

Intruders Under Arrest.

New York, y. Y.-SeveraI hundred
men who, under the leadership OF the
Industrial Workers of the World, have
been marching on church edifces re-
Gently, were arrested in st. Alphon-
sus' Roman Catholic church on West
Broadway after they had disregarded
warnings that if they entered the
church it, would be under peril of
arrest
A Lenten service was in progress
inathe church when the men marched
in. Women screamed when they saw
the intruders who, paying little atten-
ton to this, quickly occupied seats
well in front When the last Of the
men had entered the church the de-
tectives ordered the doors locked.
Meanwhile the reserves from near
by police stations had been called out
and patrol wagons from all over the
city were rushing to the scene. The
necessary preliminary arrangements
for this had been made at police hea&
quarters and for this reason action
was prompt.
When the police entered the church
building there was widest disorder,
due in a measure to the efforts Of the
police to separate the intruders from
the worshipers. The Rev. J. G.
Schneider and several other priests,
who tried to pacify the men by talk
ing to them, found their good inten-
tons useless.
The men were then taken from the
church, conveyed in patrol wagons to
the nearest police stations.
