CLUB SEEKS TO HELP
THE UNEMPLOYED
First Ward Republican Organiza-
ton Urges That Contemplat-
ed Work be Started.

Acting in answer to the expressed
fears of both business men and work
ers who fear that the effects of Euro
pean war and business stagnation
caused by Democratic tinkering with
the tariff may cause stagnation in
building and other trades during the
coming winter, members of the First
Ward Republican Club have started a
movement toward securing employ
ment for as many men of this citv and
county as possible during the next
few months.
executive officers of the city and of
the county to start all necessary work
on county roads and other projects as
soon as possible. and to use everv eff
fort to assure that the work will be
done by residents. The project will
include the suggestion that. so far as
possible, the workers on the various
projects be hired directly by the city
and county officials to insure against
Importation of outside labor by con-
tractors while local men are out of
work. Members of the First Ward
Club voted the following resolution
through:
Whereas, 1t is generally conceded
that the unsettlement caused by the
European War added to the setback
given business by the tariff and other
mistakes of the party now in National
and State power will result in post
poning or curtailing building and 9TH
er operations during the coming win
ter and,
Whereas, Pleasantville as a city of
industrious men, should not be allow
ed to suffer through mistakes of 9TH
ers; be it
Resolved, That the organization
call on both citv and county officials
to use every effort to further any pro
ject that will tend to give employment
to those whose industry and thrift
have been the means of making Pleas
antville one of the most prosperous
cities of its size in the State. And be
it further
Resolved. That it is the sense of
the members of this club that every
effort be used-so far as present laws
will permit-to keep such control over
present or prospective public work in
this section as will allow of irving our
residents and home-owners first op-
portunity to secure employment should

THIEVES VISIT BOEHM'S
TAILORING ESTABLISHMENT.

The tailoring establishment of Her
man Boehm was entered Wednesday
night and clothing to the value of
more than two hundred dollars was
taken. The thief or thieves entered
the shop by cutting a pane, of glass
from window in the side of the shop
which is next to the entrance of the
Pleasantxille Theatre, and lowering
themselves to the floor through the
broken window.
Several suits of clothes left in Mr..
Boehm's hands for cleaning and re-
pairing were taken along with sever
al new overcoats and eleven pairs of
trousers, which were carefully picked
out of a rack full of clothes. The
suits were nearly all of one size and
this leads the police to believe that
there were not more than one or two
men connected with the robbery.
County Detective Harrigan was on
the scene early Thursday morning and
will make thorough investigation of
the case, this being the second time
this establishment has been entered
within a short period of time.

PIECE BURST in HIS HAND
While Hunting Near Plains

Mr. Frank S. Zimmerman was pain
fully, though not dangerously, wound
ed yesterday afternoon in the explos-

as stated, are not considered serious.

entered upon his new duties March LIST,
by which time it is hoped he will have
recovered from his recently inflicted

AMERICANS MUST

THREE DIFFERENT MOTIONS ARE

UP IMMEDIATELY BY UPPER
HOUSE
To Wait Developments
For Very Few Days
Murder of Benton by Villa Impresses
Senators With Fact That No One is
Safe in Southern Republic

Washington, D. c., Feb. 23.-Upon
developments of the next day or two
in the case of VIM. S. Benton, the
British ranchman executed by the con-
stitutionalist general, Villa, at Juarez
seems to rest whether the senate will
take hand in the Mexican situation.
Acting Chairman Shiyely of the foreign
relatiJl committee, after a conference
with President Wilson today said if
the senate discussed Mexico, it prob
ably would be upon some of the pend
ing resolutions which for months have
been sidetracked so the administration
might be left free to deal with the
problem.
There are three resolutions. One by
Senator Penrose proposes that United
States troops be placed in Mexico as
constabulary for the protection of
Americans. Another by Senator Fall
proposes to put the senate on record
to the effect that Americans and their
property must be protected. Still an
other by Senator Sheppard concerns
recognition of the belligerency of the
constitutionalists
If administration leaders let the
Mexican situation break out in senate
debate, it probably would be upon
either or both of the first two
Secretary Bryan today declined to
discuss, deny or affirm whether he
had demanded production of Benton
body. An examination of its wounds,
it was pointed out, probably would dis
close whether the Englishman was ex-
ecuted by a firing squad or killed by
one shot; and also whether his death
was caused by rife balls or revolver
bullets.
Meanwhile no additional details of
the killing had been received here; nor
had further report been made of the
SAFETY of Bauch, another American
held as spy at Chihuahua.
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British
ambassador, continued to await Off
cial reports, and the result Of the in
vestigation into the killing of Benton
before reporting further to his gov
