There is absolutely no reason why

drag me into his quarrel with the

not signed. But as he has seen fit to
assail me, l gladly accept his chat
leDge to make public my record as
county clerk of Middlesex, and will
supplement it with little of his
record as sheriff.

during that time amounted to $107,-

included over $1,000 for new fu-ni-
ture and fireproof cases In the new
county building, which are, of course,
definite asset.
when the present year Is con-
cluded, the net profit to the county
for five years will have amounted TO

furnishings as an asset. For five
years before my election the Office

Mr.. Quackenboss.
In answer to Mr.. Cannon ] wish 20
say that the piece that | had in the
paper must have hurt the little boss
very much and in which he says he
wishes me to be specific, | shall en-
deavor to do so as | have to pay for
all these answers in the newspapers.
Mr.. Cannon says l wished to place
my brother in the position Of warden
to see that the prisoners were fed.
This Is not true. Mr.. Houghton, my
deputy sheriff, and myself had talk
regarding the feeding of the prison
ers when Mr.. Rogers had charge. Mr..
Houghton signified to me that he
would gladly take care of seeing that
the prisoners got their feed for the
privilege of living in the house graf
Is as he would not have to pay for
light and heat and at the same time
he and myself would have been able
to have saved the county thousand
dollars year, which they are paying
Mr. Dunmore to attend to and which
requires not over one hour days
work Some of the prisoners do the
cooking themselves and Mr.. Dun
more sees that the other prisoners
get 1t, but as | never had the oppor-
tunity to make this offer to the
Board of Freeholders, not being In
vited to but one of their meetings
and then they had already appointed
Mr.. Dunmore to FIJI this office. had
objected to the Board of Freeholders
to Mr.. Dunmore's appointment for
the reason that when ! ran fer sheriff

seven or eight Nears ago. He now plays

The audience was large and diserimi-

On his former appearances Paderewski
drew packed houses at prices even higher

II was when he was heard the time be-

Mexico city. February 2o-The exc
cution of William Benton. British
subject, by the constitutionalists in
Juarez, has revived the fear among
government supporters that the United
States will be forced by Great Britain

become intervention.
Although since revolutionary condi-
lions assumed serious proportions three
years ago there have been killed In
various parts of the country some l5O
Americans, 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 direct authority. Benton 5
is the first case whore il appears chat
culpability may be placed definitely.
Sir Lionel Garden. the British min
lister, has Received no advices concern
ing the execution of Benton and does
not expect any, except incidentally.
since in his opinion the case does not
concern the government to which he is
accredited. Consular advices of the
putting to death of Benton were re-
ceived today at the foreign office.
where the news aroused an attitude OF
exDectancy.
That the constitutionalists had exc
cuted a foreigner did not surprise Pres
dent Huerta, who always has insisted
that General Francisco Villa belonged
to the irresponsible type of leader, and
sooner or later was certain to bring
about serious complications with some
foreign power.
Gossip has been current here for sew
eral days that certain of the European
powers again were planning to urge
the United States to assume a more
active policy in restoring peace in
Mexico, and many persons today eX-
pressed the belief that the Benton In
cident might be used as an oppor-
