u. S. Troops May Cross
Border to Obtain Body

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The pos
sibility of sending American troops
across the border to recover the body
of William S. Benton, the English
man executed by order of Gen. Villa,
should Villa continue in his refusal 20
surrender the body, was discussed to-
day by President Wilson and Secre-
tary Of State Bryan. It was agreed
not to take any such drastic action
until Great Britain informs this gov
ernment of her stand in the matter
Should Great Britain continue in
her demand for Renton's body, the
United States may be forced to send
troops into JuareZ to recover the
body
Secretary Of State Bryan stated
that all efforts to find Gustav Baucn,
the German-American, who was SEN
fenced to death as spy and removed
to Chihuahua by Villas orders has
been Intellectual.
Believe Bauch Dead.
State department officials now be-
lieve that Bauch has been murdered
and his body buried in JuareZ, and
that this is one reason why Villa does
not want Bentons body disinterred
as such action might result in the dis

JOkerS in Law
Come to Light

After the city street department
had worked hard i'm clearing snow
from several of the principal streets
and the street car company had
promptly scraped the snow off its
tracks onto the driveways, Mayor Rob
bins was in a very peevish mood and
unsuccessfully attempted to get into
communication with Mr. Jeffries, gen.
eral manager of the company. at In
dianapolis. to make a protest.
Il wanted to request him to have
the snow scraped off the tracks onto
the streets removed at the company's
expense" said the mayor. "Of course
/ could not order the company TO take
such action because there is no ordin-
ance which would warrant such pro-
cedure on my part.
in 1904, when John F. Robbins was
city attorney, he prepared an ordin.
ance regulating the removal Of snow
from the streets by the street car
company. but it is a complete farce
and not worth the paper it is written
upon. The first joker in the ordin.
ance is that it shall not become effec.
tive until approved by the company
and of course the company never ap
proved it, and the second joker is the
failure to provide any penalty for vic
lation of the ordinance.
There will be an ordinance thor

next three weeks or miss my guess

IN SECRET SESSION
Republican Leaders Hold a
Mysterious Gathering in
Lindemuth Office.

There was a mysterious gathering
of local Republican chieftains at the
office of Attorney A. c. Lindemuth.
very. very mysterious fact all of
the twenty-five or thirty present ap-
parently took solemn vow of secrecy,
for the most persistent inquiries of
newspaper men to ascertain the pur-
pose of the meeting proved fruitless.
What took place was confidential.
I may be able to give out a statement
in few days" said Mr.. Lindemuth.
In substance this was the reply made
by other Republican leaders ques-
toned.
There were two reports current con-
cerning this meeting. one that plan
was on foot to have a fusion Republi-
conference.-the county ticket placed in
the field The other was that plan
of not placing Republican county
ticket in the field so that the Demo
cratic ticket would receive Republican
support, was under discussion.
Denials of these reports were
promptly made by all Republicans in
terviewed
THE only thing I can say is that
the Bull Moose ticket will be badly
beaten at next falls elections" said
one man who attended the meeting
but who denied any knowledge of it
having been held.

Trains and Interurbans Take
Up Schedules After Biz
zard Which Halted Traffic
on All Lines.
FREIGHTS START OUT
Unusual Heavy Business in
Sight for Remainder of the
Week Because of the Long
Tie-up.

Passenger service was restored to
normal today, and Pennsylvania trains
were running on good schedules, and
freight service was gradually restored
during the day. c. e o. trains from
the south are about on time. --
A call for all available men was sent
out yesterday morning to other cities,
and a force Of 120 was sent here from
Columbus. The force removed the
snow from the station, and then the
men went to work in the yards, re-
moving ice and snow from switches
and opening tracks for service.
During the night the Richmond di-
vision, which probably was hardest
hit of any on the entire Pennsylvania
system, was opened north and south
to Chicago and Cincinnati, and trains
were made up and set out of Rich
mond almost on time. Today the di-
vision was in good condition. The Gin
cinnati division through Dayton was
opened during the night and trains be-
tween Columbus and Indianapolis via
Dayton were ordered to proceed over
the usual route instead of through
Bradford, where they have been rum
ming since Monday.
Passengers Cared For.
Trains are running ten OF HItecE
minutes late, due not SO much to the
snow as to the cold weather All
through passengers delayed in Rich
mond who were not sent out yester-
day, proceeded during the night to
their destinations. They were given
lodging and all meals while here at
the expense of the railroad company.
The storm caused big loss to the
divisions of the Pennsylvania running
through Richmond. The extra ex-
pense as a result of the heavy snow
and wind has not been computed.
Through freights came into Rich
mond today and were sent out again
at once for the first time in forty-eight
hours The yard men were given or
ders to make up the usual local
freights, which probably will be heav
ier the remainder of the week because
of the accumulation of freight while
no trains were in operation.
-Interurban service was resumed to
day on all lines, although yesterday
only a few cars were able to get
through.
Skdding along on snow covered
rails, a city car yesterday locked with
an automobile owned by Wilson, Pohl
meyer & Downing. when the latter
drove from an alley between Tenth
and Eleventh streets on Main stree,
in the path of the car. A dent in the
tenders was the extent of the damage

Body of Young Engineer
Will Be Shipped From
Chicago to New Paris.

Word has been received of the death
Of Rev Miller. 25, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel w. Miller, which occurred in
Chicago hospital yesterday. 1t is un-
derstood that he died from burns re-
ceived in an accident at the Great
Northern power house. where he was
employed as an electrician. Mrs. Mil
Ter has started for Chicago, and will
accompany the body home. Although
no funeral services have been ar
ranged, it is believed that the burial
will be made in the New Paris ceme-
terry.
Mr.. Miller was we'll known in New
Paris, having spent his entire life
there with the exception of few years
spent in Chicago. He was graduated
from the New Paris high school in
1907. and attended Ohio university at
Athens, where he graduated in the
electrical engineering department. He
had been employed in the engineer
ing business in the plants of the Cen
eral Electric and Great Northern Elec-
trio works.

ENGINEERS NAMES
PAINTED ON CABS

Atlanta. Ga, July 1l.--southeru
railway engineers who have made ex-
ceptionaIly good records in keeping
their locomotives in good condition
are to be honored by having their
names painted on the panels of their
cabs.
In announcing this new plan, Vice
President and General Manager f.
II. Coapman states that II has been
adopted as q mark Of Southern rail-
ways appreciation of the interest
which its engineers have taken in the
condition and appearance of their To-
com olives.
Southern railway practice is, as far
as possible, to allow each regular en-
gineer to have his individual loco
motive. The engineers feel a great
personal pride in the appearance Of
their locomotives. and many of them
have been beautifully decorated. In
which the company has operated
with the men. As a result Of the at
tractive appearance of Southern rail-
way locomotives. they have attract
ed widespread attention and much
favorable comment
Under the new Arrangement, each
engineer who has run an individual
locomotive for stated number OF
miles, rated according TO the slass
of the engine without going Into the
shop for general overhauling. will
have his name placed on the cab
panel. The arrangement was effec-
tive July i, but mileage made during
the past two. years by engineers run
ming individual LOGON olives will be
applied.
