DECLINES TO FURNISH INIOIi-

WILL Deal With ENGLAND
VIII Only Give out Information al
Request Of some Official ol
England.

NOGALES. Sonora Mexico, Feb.
2S.-General Carranza today declined
te furnish TO the state department az
Washington information regarding
the killing at Juarez Of the British
subject. william 5. Benton, at the
came time he gave assurances TO Sec
retary Bryan that he would inNesu-
gate the disappearance near JuareI OF
Gustav BauCh, an American.
This strongly defined stand came al
ter three days OF negotiations between
the American secretary of state ana
tho constitutioralist commander in
chief through Frederick slmpich,
American consul at Nogales, ana
lsidro Fahela, acting secretory Ci
foreign relations in Carrauzas pro-
vslonal cabinet.
Until late today General C7rHn"o
had renamed silent regarding his
stand cu Secretary Bryan's request
made three days ago for intmuHl)h
Of Benton's death.
Another mcssag2 arrived today
from Secretary Bryan today IN Which
he requested Immediate information
about the disappearance Of Bau'h'
Carranza's replies We're made to both
queries at the same time
The revolutionary leaders stand
was that the death of Benton, Brit
on. should be taken up through the
diplomatic channels of his country,
The fact that England has recognized
the Huerta central government was
not mentioned In the reply but oc-
casloned much speculation among
those familiar with the situation. Car
rama in his reference to the Ben
ton case pointedly remarked that
Secretary Bryan's original message
had been tho first mention OF the
matter brought TO his attention as
head of the revolution.
In the written message to the sec
retary, which was addressed to Con-
sui Slmpich, Carranza did not say
that any investigation Of the Benton
case was being made on his part
However, simultaneously with the
two notes 10 Washington, Secretary
l'abela issued an official announce
ment saying that che Benton case
was being investigated for the salts
faction of the constitutionalist party
1t was understood that Secretary
Rryan's first message merely asked
for information regarding the Ben
ton death requested by the British
foreign office, On the delivery or
this telegram Carranza entered on a
long conference with his advisers.
All correspondence on the Mexican
side of the matter was given to the
Associated Press with the statement
of Senior Fabela that the Benton case
was being investigated for the in
formation of General Carranza or
perhaps In case England should re-
quire the date.
This, it was pointed out, would put

Railroad President States
Business Is On Decline

Washington, D. C.-Testimony of
the Eastern railroads in support of
their application for an increase in
freight rates virtually was concluded
before the interstate commerce COM
mission by Samuel Rea, president of
the Pennsylvania system.
Mr.. Rea said that present rates did
not yield fair return on the capital
invested; that the returns had been
decreasing continuously and that un-
less the downward trend were arrested
it would undermine the railroads re-
sources and cripple their power to
serve the public satisfactorily. He
insisted that unless the roads were
permitted to increase their net in
comes serious retrenchments in. ex pen
ditures for labor, Improvements and
extension would have to be made.
Mr.. Rea said that only recently the
Pennsylvania and some other lines he'd
been obliged to curtail their operating
expenses by laying off employees and
reducing the number of trains oper-
ated, because of the falling off of
freight tonnage and passenger traffic,
which had induced a heavy decline in
revenues.

ter are entered as regular students in
the short course, but are taking moth
ing but the work in mineralogy and
assaying at present. They want to be
of service when samples of rock are
brought to their cabin on some'glacier-
capped slope in the vast northern ter
ritory.
'Mother and sister find the work in
mineralogy very interesting" said
Mr.. Phillips recently. "They can't
seem to get enough of it. The work
they have had so far is largely in
making tests of the rocks to determine
what kind of minerals it contains"
Soon after the course is completed,
the Phillips family plans to leave for
Alaska to hunt for gold.

Demands $1,000 DAMAGES

Lafayette, Ind.-As result of a
hazing in the girls dormitory of Pur-
due university last January, Mabel
Rogers, of Shoals, Ind, has filed suit
against seven senior girls, demanding
$1,000. The plaintiff, who is first
year girl, alleges that up to the time
she was hazed she was a healthy girl
with normal eyes, but now her sight is
impaired and her health destroyed.
Miss Rogers in her complaint al
leges that on certain day in January,
while she was preparing her lessons,
seven girls dragged. her from her
room, tore off her clothing, painted
her chest, back and neck with red ink,
poured mucilage on her back and stuck
her with pins in an effort to compel
her to kneel to her assailants. She
further AYERS that she was ducked in a
tub of water.
She declares she was forced to go
to hospital for treatment following
the hazing, and that she had been I'M
able to do her work in the university.
