REVOLUT|OMSTS SAY
". S. BENTON WAS A
MEXICAN CITIZEN
Statement Based on Report That
He Once Held Some Minor
Office Under Diaz
BY .4ssociated Press

Ell Paso, Texas, Feb. 24.-The at
tempt of the Mexican rebels to estab-
lish that w. S. Benton, the Scottish
ranchman who was executed just a
week ago day, was a Mexican c1tl-
zen is based on a report that he once
held some minor Office while President
Porfirio Diaz was in power
This statement was made to-day at
Juarez by frederick Gonzales CARA,
counselor te the commanders of the
garrison, who added:
1--WE have heard that Benton held
several small offices under President
Diaz and that he was once mayor OF a
small settlement on his own estate.
He could not have held office without
being O. Mexican citizen, and the rec
ords at Chihuahua City are being
searched to establish the facts
Relatives here of Benton say that
the deeds of his Mexican property
refer to him as a British subject and
that he was always careful there
should be no doubt on this point
In the meanwhile the request of the
State Department at Washington for
the handing over of the body OF Ben
ton has met only with silence.
Receives kilograms
General Villa has received tele-
grams not only from many cities In
the United States but from London
Paris and Berlin asking for an ex-
planation of the manner of Benton
death. All the replies sent to inquirers
have given the same story of court
martial and execution.

address a rally of ten camps of the

clared that in ehis opinion 10000
American soldiers could be placed in
Mexico to pacify disturbed localities
and would be sufficient to protect the
lives and property of Americans and
foreigners when threatened at certain
points. He said further that the a0
ministration policy in Mexico had
made American diplomacy contemp-

and that it was very evident that sem

dilatory and vaccilating tactics of the

SHOULD Be POSTED

ton to the Public Service
Commissioners

Robert Mccormick, president of the
Harrisburg Bridge Company. to-day
suggested to the Public Service Com
mission that companies operating toll
bridges be required to file their rates
with the commission, claiming that
several times his company has been
asked to make 10 per cent. discount
by persons who claimed that COM
peting bridge company was giving a
discount. He says that the published
rates do not show discount and
says that it is desirable that the rates
should be made matter of public
record. The question, which is en-
tirely new, will be considered by the
commission when 1t meets next week.
II put into effect the order would
affect hundreds of bridge companies.
The commission has arranged sew
enteen hearings In March, among
them being the contract of the city
and the Pennsylvania Railroad for the
down town improvements, and Upper
Allen township and the United Elec-
tric Company on the third Middle
town and Swatara Water Company
rates on the fourth; Camp Hill water
rates on the fifth.
