Movement to
 lJnseat CurIey
RESOLUTION AGAINST CON-
 GRESSMAN- MAYOR.
RESOLUTION REFERRED
Declares Offices of Congressman and
 Mayor Are Incompatible and That
 One Can't Perform Duties of Both.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Whether James M. Curley, mayor of Boston and on the rolls of congress as a repre- sentative from the twelfth Massachu- sets district. shall be permitted to hold both offices, was put squareIy up CT Mann. A resolution introduced by MT. Mann set forth that ~the offices of mayor and representative in con gress are incompatible and it is inn possible for one man to perform the duties of both" and proposed that Mir Curley's seat be declared vacant
 Referred to Judiciary Committee.
 At the suggestion of Democratic Leader Underwood, Representative Mann agreed that the resolution should go to the judiciary committee without debate.
 The Curley case has been discussed for weeks about the capitol.
 CurIey's Intention.
 Mir. Curley drew his monthly sal ary as a congressman on February 4, two days after he took the oath of of flee of mayor of Boston. It was said that he indicated at the time his in tention of holding both offices until the end of the present session of congress, in order to redeem pledges made to the people of his district and to save Boston the expense of a special cleo ton to name his successor.
 Preoedents Recalled.
 It was recalled today that Repre- governor of Connecticut some years ago, and General Joseph S. Wheeler of Alabama, after being commissioned a maior-genera1 of volunteers in the Spanish war, tried unsuccessfully to hold their seats in congress

for foreign affairs, outlined the atti- tade Of the British government and the nature of the communications which the British ambassador had had with the government of the United States. He said that Sir Cecil Spring-Rice had told Secretary of State Bryan that the public opinion of Europe was likely to be seriously affected by the action of General Villa which announcement was greeted by the members with a cheer.
 The foreign secretary assured the house that the government was taking all possible steps to learn the facts Of the Benton case and to secure full pro lection fer it's nationals in Mexico, but pointed out that the government was powerless to take any measures in the disturbed regions.
 No British intervention.
 Francis Dyke Acland, parliamentary under-secretary for foreign affairs, said
 The paeification of Mexico is an ob- ject we earnestly desire to see accom- plished, but it is impossible to effect it by British intervention We do not in tend to make any attempt of that character. which would be both futile and isnpolftfc."
 Villas Action Branded as Murder.
 That the British government is con- ce1neO over t1lS IopOA lS0 uISdEpcS1& dliSS of other Europeans in Mexico is evi- denced by the fact that Sir Edward has communicated with the ambassa- dor at Washington respecting steps that it might be possible to take in order to ascertain the wherea bouts of these people.
 The newspapers. while awaiting the result of the inquiry instituted by the United States government, are prac- tioally united in condenining the action of Villa, which some Of 4Eeln regard as nothing less than murder

 Wreath on Tomb of Washington.

Washington. Feb. 23. = President wilson crossed the damned Poto- mac today In the naval yacht Syiph and from a glass-enclosed stand re- viewed civil and military parade in Alexandria, Va. which marched through a frigid snowstorm in honor of tne nrst president Of the United States.
 With the exception of brief exer- clses Tn the senate, the national capital turned to Alexandria, in the environ ment where George Washington had nved, for its official celebration of the birthday. Vice President Marshall laid a wreath on the tomb of Washington at Mount Vernon. then returned to alexandra and joined the president members or the cabinet and Governor stuart of Virginia in watching the ps- rade.

Boy Scouts trudged through the snow with the same forti- tude as the soldiers while the blizzard ragged. Little girls in a covered float showed school room in WaShin9ton's time. Here and there in the parade was black-faced minstrel. a wagon load Of "equal suffrage" advocates and some children in grotesque Indian garb.
 President Lands With Difficulty.

 IL seemed somewhat hazardous trip Tor the president to make in view of his susceptibility to colds. but he was in excellent health today and arrange mentS were such that exposure was reduced to a minimum.

Several troops of United States cavaI- i ry escorted him to the reviewing stand ! while 21-gun salute was fired by the i nearby ships.

NO TRACE OF COMPTON.
Ranchman Curtis Not Yet Found
 Consul Could Not See Bauch.

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb 2S--Tnterest in the execution of William S. Benton by General Villa last Tuesday continued with little abatement today, but all eyes were on developments at Wash ington.
 Bentun's friends assert that while Washington may for diplomatic req sons accept the official version of co1lrtmartial which, the rebels alleged, tried Benton and found him guilty of attempting Villas life. there is still no disposition among them to change their own verdict of murder"
 They are working trelessly to find a witness to the shooting whose word can be relied on. There is said to be. evidence that an American witnessed the shooting but that his association with the rebels makes it unlikely that he will speak unless unusual pressure is brought to bear on him.
 The federal junta. which has ener- ge1ic secret agents at work, is engaged also in an attempt to ascertain the de- tails for the purpose of diScrediting the constituti onalists.
 At Chihuahua it is said Villa is at tempting to find in the court records something to show that Benton had become a Mexican citizen, but his cousin, William Benton, in this city, said Benton was very careful to main tain h1S status as a British subject and that in a number of legal papers he was serupulous to have this fact set forth
 Anxiety over the fate of Gustav Bauch. the German American officially reported by Villa to have been removed to Chihuahua for review of his case, wherein he Is charged with being a spy, cropped out anew today When it was reported that Consul fletcher. who has been instructed by the state depart ment to safeguard the prisoners in- tereSts had been unable to see him Legal documents setting forth Bauch's birth by German parents in New Iberia.

 AN EXPRESS AGENT.

Corning, N. T.. Feb. 23.-Harry Ed wards, night clerk in the Wells Fargo Express company's office here, was murdered early today by a burglar, al- legged to have been David Dunn, 19 years old, a. former employe of the company. The police say Dunn has confessed.
 The prompt discovery of the crime and arrest Of the alleged murderer was due to the quick wit of Miss Carrie Niles, central telephone operator. When a call came over for the express office line and she could get no r. sponse to her requests for a number, she listened and heard sounds that led her to believe all was not well.
 Miss Niles communicated with the polica, and when an officer arrived at the express office he found Edwards dead.
 In his confession, according to the police. Dunn said he told a hard luck story to induce Edwards to let him sleep in the office, and while the clerk was taking nap he tried to get into the safe. Edwards awoke and a fight enSued.
