VILLA WILL PRODUCE
RECORDS OF trial
Cables to London Newspaper that the
British People VIII Be Given
Satisfaction.

London, Feb. 22-The Daily Mail has
received the following cablegram from
Gen. Villa in regard to the killing OF
William S. Benton at Juarez:
chihuahua, Feb. 1.-THE English sub
ject, Benton, was put to death because
he went into my room and pulled out his
revolver TO kill me- When the time comes
the trial records will be open to give full
satisfaction to the British people.
FRANCISCO VILLA,
General in Chief
Not in a generation has any event on
the other side of the Atlantic aroused
such general indignation among English
people as the killing OF Benton. Now that
the first shock of the news has passed
Englishmen are turning to the United
States government for redress and the
general feeling expressed by the editorials
I'm the morning papers is that President
Wilson should take drastic action.
The Daily Mail editorially asks:
How long does the President of the
United States propose to allow Mexico
to founder in her present morass or
anarchy?
What reason is there to think that
similar outrages will not be commit
ted in the future as long as every
Mexican bandit able to extort money
by terrorism is free and even invited
to spend It purchasing arms in the
United States? What prospects does
the President see of peace and security
being re-established in Mexico while
his policy is confined to stimulating
the various combatants TO fight II out
among themselves"

DOUBTS BENTON MADE
THREAT AGAINST VILLA
Friend of Dead Man Says He Wa.
Too Cautious to Have Acted
as Charged.

New York, Feb. 22-William S. Benton,
the British ranchman, who was executed
at Juarez after being tried by court
martial on the charge of having threat
ened the life of Francisco Villa, was far
too cautious and well-balanced to have
made any threats against Villa in his
own headquarters. This is the opinion
of William p. Petit. an American mining
engineer, now living in New York, who
had been an intimate friend Of Benton
for twenty years.
Benton" said Mr.. Petit today, was
a most likable chap, and as brave a man
as ever lived. He was no fool, however,
and / know they lie when they accuse
him of going into the headquarters of this
bandit Villa, and threatening to kill him.
IT have not the least doubt that Ben
ton went to Villa and protested against
the destruction of his property. His
orchards had been destroyed, his cattle
driven away and stolen. and his home,
perhaps. burned. His ranch contained
about 5000 acres of good land. 1t rep
resented the savings of a lifetime, and
the mans resentment naturally was
aroused when he saw II pillaged time and
time again.
villa and Benton had lived in that
same district and had known each other
years. The talk that Benton tried to
kill Villa is all rot"

MASKED BANDITS

Men Answering Description Of Great
Northern Desperadoes Effect OAR
ing Hold-up of Suburban Car.
COMMUTERS ARE PARALYZED

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 22.-Three masked
men, two of whom answered the descrip-
ton of bandits who held up Great
Northern train Friday night. killing three
passengers, held up a suburban train
with more than 10 passengers here last
night.
The train was made up of two coaches.
In the smoking car there were ninety
men and in the other car there were
thirty passengers. mostly women. Five
miles south of Seattle three men boarded
the train.
One had a yellow handkerchief with eye
holes over his face and another a red
bandanna. One Of the men pointed a
pistol at the conductor and ordered him
TO come with them. The robbers went
down the aisle demanding money.
The third robber. who had entered the
second coach. forced an eighteen-year-old
boy to pass through the car with a hat,
into which the passengers dropped money.
He collected about $50.
Without stopping the train the robbers
dropped of and ran toward the Duwam-
ish River. The scene of the hoidup was
outside of the city limits and not well
lighted.
The killing of the railroad passengers
by train robbers in whatcom County
Friday night is thought to have been a
factor In the meel1ness with which the
interurban passengers submitted.

JAN KUBELIK'S RECITAL
thrills Big AUDIENCE
Famous Violinist Gives Delightful Pro-
gram. of Wide Range, at
National Theater.
MR.. LAPIERE IS AccoMPANIST

Jan KubeIik, yiolinist. was greeted by
a large audience at the New National
Theater last night. There was not a
hackneyed number on the program. and
Kubelik played everything with delicacy.
freshness of conception and flawless pur-
ity OF tone. He gave the 'Praeludium'
of Bach. a cIear-cut etude-like compost
ton, in such simple style as to preserve
all its buoyant youthfulness and vigor
without pedantry.
Far the Ioveliest OF all was the Bach
air in c major, the clear phrasing giving
every measure thoughtful expression.
The Bach "Gavotte," a piece more fire.
quentIy played than the other two, is
most interesting for its contrapuntal in
tricacies, which Mr.. Kubelik got over
neatly and easily, and to which, at the
same time, he gave perfect artistic JUS
tice. Two of these Bach numbers were
played without accompaniment.
The concerto IN ID minor of VieuNtemps
was interesting and in parts quite beau
tiful, though the piano accompaniment
of the second movement is for the most
part characterless. Wherever the music
gave Mr.. Gabriel La Pierre, the accom-
PIANIST, an opportunity, his ensemble
greatly enhanced the value of the per-
Torrance.
In the Concerto, D Major" of Pag-
baniment. Mr.. Kubelik did his most
brilliant work in. this concerto, the
Saint-Saens' "Rondo Capriccioso," and
the Souvenir de Moscow" Of Wieniaw-
ski. Especially in the Paganini num-
Der the marvels Of his technique were
given full scope; here he sported with
the ease of a magician with soaring
harmonics, and all the marvels that
lie in flying chromatics, trills, double
stopping and infinite arpeggio work.
The Saint-Saens' "Capriccioso" opens
with a dance in Spanish character and
ends in pyrotechnical display, very fine,
but of no particular individuality. The
Souvenir de Moscow" is built in varia-
tions on the beautiful simple Russian
folk tune; one OF the lovliest melodies
in existence.
Mr.. Kubelik gave encores: the first
after the Bach group. the Ave Maria"
of Gounod: the Evening Song" OF
Schumann, after the Paganini number.
and at the end Dyorak's ''Humoresque."
Special praise should be given the &C.
companist, Mr.. Gabriel Lapierre.

CALLS COMPROMISE
in PARTY IMPOSSIBLE
Mr.. Fess Says Republicans Will Not
Let Old Guard Leaders Remain
at the Helm.
PR0GRESSIvEs SHOULD FIGHT

Old Guard Republicans who believe that
the rank and file of the party will be
satisfied TO permit them to remain 1T
the helm IL they promise certain. party
reforms and agree to a progressive leg
islative program are sadly mistaken, ac-
cordinG to Representative Fess, of Ohio.
THE insistence OF men like Senator
Penrose, William Barnes and others who
precipitated the convention rev at Chi
cago, that they be permitted TO retain
their old positions, IN the party and in
public life. is challenge 10 the rank
and file of the party that will make 4
healing of the breach impossible at pres
ent," said Mr.. Fess yesterday. Had
they the good of the party at heart, they
would withdraw and permit men In SYM
pathy with the awakened conscience Of
the public TO work for a reunited party.
These men may profess to believe that
the Chicago convention Of 1872 Is forgot
ten; that the sores that grew out of the
bitter controversy have healed; that the
rank and file Of the Republicans Of the
ration are ready to begin again under
the old leadership, but the fact Is that
the Republican voter has not forgotten.
and will not forgive as long IS these
men exercise domination in the party.
"AIl talk of compromise with these
clements is worse than folly. There is
no room for compromise. The only
thing left for the progressive element
to do is TO continue to fight these men.
tc work for absolute control Of the
party, and to advance their own candi-
dates wherever the reactionary element
seeks recognition at the polls or in the
primaries"

Benton had nothing in his own right.
He managed to marry into we'll

acquired an interest in the Rosario

a matter of dispute. Many Of the
