CLABAUGH HOPEFUL
 OF FINAL VICTORY
Tuscaloosa Editor Declines to Com ment on Rumor as to Reason for
 Hobson's Opposition

sam F. Clabaugh, editor of the Tuscaloosa News, whose applicancy for the position of postmaster at Tusca- loosa evolved the interesting theory that the congressman at large has no patronage, is in Birmingham.
 MT. Clabaugh states that despite the Tact that Congressman Hobson was able to prevent his confirmation by Senate he is still in the running and hopeful of the final result.
 As Is remembered, MT. Clabaugh was appointed postmaster by John W. Aber- crombie, congressman at large Con- gressman Hobson, contending that the right to make this appointment was his, raised a question which caused the holding up for final settlement of the entire case. Congressman Abercrombie took the position that as congressman at large with no district he should have the right to name the postmaster of his home town.
 In regard to the controversy, Cla- baugh had nothing to say last night He declined to comment on the inn pression which prevails in some circles that Hobson opposed him. a good pro- hibitionist, because he is a supporter of the candidacy of oscar w Under wood

BANDIT RObS MAIL
 GAR 0F SOUTHERN
Masked Man Enters Train in South Carolina and
 Escapes With Loot

Columbia. S. C March 5--A bandit to- night robbed the mail car of Southern railway train No. II from Charleston to Columbia just as the train was enter ing Columbia The robber entered as the train slowed up at the city limits and covered the mail clerk with a re- volver. The robber, who was masked then secured several sacks containing reg istered mail, and jumped of the train just before il reached the station. No arrests have been made.
 The robber did not modest the letters, going through the mail carefully, while he forced the clerk to stand with his face to the wall of the car
 C. b. Thomas. in charge of the mail car. reported the robbery when the train reached the Union station.
 The robber, Thomas said, entered the car as the train slowed up al the first street crossing inside the city limits, The clerk said he thought the man must have boarded the train when il stopped at Royster station about three miles from Columbia, and timed his movements carefully, entering the car just in time to escape before the train reached the station.
 The man was masked and the only de- scription the postal clerk could give to- night was that the robber was about . feet inches tall.
 The bandit seemed very nervous, Thomas said, but went about his work with neatness and dispatch.
 Two years ago Southern railway train No. II was robbed at the same place. the hour and the circumstances of the rob bery being exactly the same as those of tonights hodup. The robber who held up the train two years ago made good his escape. His booty was not consid- erable.

 The expedition of the American com mission to Chihuahua to examine the body of Benton has been abandoned only temporarily according to officials. The outcome of the inquiry instituted by the Mexican constitutionalists themselves, however, is awaited, and officials have given no inl1ling as to what their policy will be thereafter.
 General Carranza has addressed to American Consul Simpich at Nogales a third note to the United States govern ment setting forth that the commission which he had appointed to investigate the Benton execution would endeavor to clear up the mystery attending the dis appearance of Gustav Bauch, an Ameri- can citizen.
 Secretary Bryan said the visit of George c. Carothers, consular agent, to General Carranza did not concern the Benton case. He declined to say what the pur- pose of the mission was.

 Secretary Bryan appeared before the House committee on foreign affairs and answered questions about conditions in Mexico.

 Robert V. Pesquiera, confidential agent here of the constitutionalists, issued q statement tonight based on dispatches he had received from General Carranza, confirming the report of the appointing of a commission to ivestigate not only the death of Benton, but also the dis appearance of Bauch.
 General CarranZa and his advisers said the statement, entertain the opin- ion that Benton, having met death in Mexican territory, the initiative in as certaining the real facts in order to fix responsibility should be taken by the constitutionalist authorities since they are in de facto control of the state of Chihuahua. Luis Cabrera, formerly a member of Congress, has been selected by General Carranza as his special repre- sentative in the matter and will assist and advise the commission.
 General Carranza hopes that the public will suspend judgment in respect to the Benton case until such time as he may have opportunity to make public the report of the commission, which will con- tain every detail of the affair obtainable and in case the facts disclose any lia- bilty on the part of the list government the latter will immediately proceed to give such satisfaction and make such reparation is properly re- quired under the laws of nations.
