BENTON, A BRITISH SUBJECT, Is
MURDERED BY VILLAS ORDER
FOR HAVING EXPRESSED HIS
OPINION OF CHIEF
THE BODY OF BENTON
is NOT YET LOCATED
Thorough Search Fer it is Ordered ny
Secretary Bryan Villas Side of the
Story Not Yet Heard, But Evidently
a Crime

FL Paso, Tex, Feb 20.-William j.
Benton, of FL Paso, Scotchman, sub
ject of Great Britain, is dead That
was confirmed by General Pancho
Villa and was officially conveyed to
the widow here by United States Con-
sui Edwards, of Juarez Mystery sur
rounds the report of the death. William
Benton, a cousin of the dead man, con-
firmed the report.
Benton was executed Tuesday night
after a trial in Juarez by military
court, of which FREDERICK Gonzales
Cara was the head, according to
what appears to be a correct version
of the affair. The charge against Ben
ton was that he was implicated in a
plot to take Villas life Villa left FOR
the south this morning.
Benton was last seen alive in Jua-
rez Tuesday morning He was going
to Villas home and said he was 60
ing to tell Villa what he thought OF
him. from the manner in which his
ranch LOS Remedio' in western Chi
huahua had been looted by rebel SOL
diers.
Instructions had been sent by the
American state department yester-
day to Consul Edwards it was report
ed, to see that no harm shculd come
to Benton, the orders being sent at
the request of the British ambassa-
cor. Tbs: warning, it now appears,
came too late.
1t is supposed that Villas defense
will be that the man was shot be-
cause he entered Villas Office ami
started to draw 81, although the
cousin says Benton did not go to
Juarsz armed.
Benton and Villa have had acquain-
lance for many years. Benton knew
him when as an outlaw more or less,
accepted as a part Of the Mexican So
cial fabric, the then bandit crossed the
Benton ranch, west of the city of Chi
huahua The ranch of 100000 acres,
is considered one OF the best in Mex
leo, being valued at 100000 gold.
1t was with the assurance of this
acquaintance behind him that the
Scotchman went to Villa with COM
plant of the dspredations. Yester
day villa, who has consistently de-
MED that he had Benton in custody
told reporter that Benton was armed
when he made his visit.
Friends of the ranchman assert that
Benton while of fiery temper and ready
to use his fists was never known to
carry a gun. His great reason for 60
ing unarmed was his own knowledge
of his temper
All this morning talk Of a mass
meeting her grew, but took no def
mite shape Excited groups of Ameri-
cans, English, French and German
refugees who lost their property in
Mexico, or were compelled to abandon
it temporarily, asserted that the time
had come for foreigners to protest
against the treatment being dealt out
ito them

PLEASED BY PROSPERITY
SECRETARY M'ADOO SAYS "THE
PROSPERITY OF THE COUNTRY

Washington, D. c., Feb 20.-The
federal reserve bank organization
committee, back in Washington, after
a five-week trip through the country

banking system and confident of its
success.
In a supplemental statement Mr.. Nc

next year, but that if it is not, the
treasury department would stand ready

of business men.
Division of Country First.
The statement, in part, is as follows:
+ I'VE have spent practically from the
fourth OF January to the present time
in hearing the views of business men
and bankers on the problem of divid-
ing the country into not less than eight
nor more than twelve districts and of
locating in each district the main office
of federal reserve bank. OF the two
questions, the division of the country
into districts is the more important
and difficult.
In every section of the country the
committee has found practically
unanimous conviction among bankers
and business men that the curren "

WHY THEY Went AWAY
Departure OF War ships From Tam
pico Is Explained.

Washington. April 2s.-"The reason
for withdrawing naval forces under
Admiral MAYO from Tampico," said
an official statement by the navy de-
partment, was that Admiral Mayo
was informed by persons intimately in
touch with the situation at Tampico.
that it was necessary for the safety
Of all foreigners that the U. s. naval
vessels should not be near the town.
He was informed that the Mexicans
apparently considered war on, that
the federal and constftutionalists
forces were exchanging overtures to
unite their forces against Americans
and that the presence of the u S.
ships near Tampico would almost
surely cause the two forces to COM
bine.
THE British naval captain volunteer
ed to send out all Americans and
therefore Admiral Mayo decided it was
in the best interests of Americans in
Tampico that this force should not
be at Tampico.
Admiral Badger agreed entirely
with Admiral Mayo and the depart
ment endorsed the action"
