AUTOMOBILE E NE WIS

1 There is a great by~product of the lbig automobile industry that the gen eraI public has not heretofore taken serious cognfzance of, but which, with facts fairly considered, Is the means of giving to hundreds an opportunity to purchase good automobile at sur. prisinsly low cost
 This opportunify is present to those who desire to own an automoblle. but who do not want to purchase a new car of certain price, possibly be- cause it is not large enough or va rioIs other reasons by investing any where from $500 to $1,200 in what is generally known as a second hand reclaimed car.s As a matter of fact, the average reclaimed car is nothing more or less than a very fine automo bile right in it's prime of life and with only 10 per cent. of it's real energy used. -.# 1 In the garages of the reputable au-. tomobiie dealers to-day expert me- ehanics are putting into first class shape by overhauling, putting on new coats of paint. new tops, fore doors, etc, some of the best automobile

j. S. TROOPS
GET CASTILLO
Mexican Bandit Captured on
the American Side.
SIX OF HIS MEN SURRENDER
Should the American Officers Do So,
He Will Certainly Be Executed
For Setting Fire To the
Cumbre Tunnel.

Alpasa, Texas.-Maximo Castillo,
the Mexican bandit, charged with re-
sponsibility for the Cumbre tunnel dis
aster, in which ten Americans and IL
others lost their lives, was captured
SO miles south of Hachita, N NJ, by
American troops.
The information was conveyed to
Gen. Hugh L. Scott, commandment at
Fort Bliss, in an official telegram from
Captain White, Ninth United States
Cavalry.
With the bandit were six of his fol-
lowers. According to Captain Whites
brief dispatch, they surrendered with
out fight, They will be brought
here.
Castillo, to avoid a range of noun
tatns on the Mexican side, made de-
tour which brought him into Ameri-
can territory. Captain White was on
the watch, having received informa-
ton from Walter Mccormick, Ameri-
can manager of Las Palomas ranch, on
the Mexican side, that the much-want-
Captain White telegraphed by Army
wireless to General Scott for instruc-
tons, and was ordered to arrest the
bandit should he put foot on American
soil
Whether the prisoner shall be sur
rendered to the rebels is a legal ques-
ton which remains TO be settled. If
this is done there is no doubt that he
Will be executed for the Cumbre dis
aster. He is not charged with any
crime on this side
Castillo set fire to a freight train in
the Cumbre Tunnel two weeks ago.
The cars were burning when a pas
senger train crashed into it and every
life aboard was lost The tunnel is
still burning.
A special to the Times from Hachita,
n NJ, says that the capture was made
by Lieutenant RothwelI of Troop A,
and remarks that it was particularly
gratifying as coming on the heels of
the theft of Is horses belonging to the
regiment by Mexicans on Sunday The
special continues:
Captain White will ask that
Castillo and Capt. Emilio Garcia, a
member of the band previously cap
tured, be transported Immediately to
FL Paso, as the number of soldiers on
duty here is limited"
Previous reports of Castillo's cap
ture, made to General Villa. proved I'M
true. The latter expressed his gratifi-
cation at the capture. General Scott
was no less jubilant

BRITISH SUBJECT
IS SHOT TO DEATH
Another Serious Crisis in the
Mexican Situation.
WASHINGTON is STIRRED.
British Ambassador Sees Him About
the Former Bandit Rebel Leaders
Act and President Wilson and
Cabinet Discuss II.

Washington.-A slumbering Mexican
situation was brought quickly to a
point of intense International interest
by the fash of message stating that
William L. Benton, British subject,
had been killed in Juarez by order of
Gen. Francisco Villa, the constitu-
tionalist commander.
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British
ambassador, conferred with Secretary
Bryan about it, President Wilson and
his Cabinet discussed it briefly, and
thorough investigation was ordered by
the State Department from consular
reports on the border.
In this case, for the first time since
the present revolution began, a year
ago, the general warning from the
United States government to Mexican
factions to protect all foreigners went
unheeded though there is every evil
dence to show that both the British
Ambassador and the State Department
were advised too late of BentOn's inn
pending fate to intercede specifically
for him. The news shocked officials
generally, who had come to believe
that General Villa fully realized the
position of the American government
IN regard to the protection of foreign
ers in Mexico particularly in the north
of that country
81 haven't sufficient facts on which
to base an opinion" said Secretary
Bryan. Until have the department
will express no opinion"
This was the official view of the
situation with messages passing back
and forth between the State Depart
ment and Consul Edwards, and his
temporary assistant, G. c. Carrothers,
consular representative at Torreon.
Only few details were announced by
the State Department that Benton
had been executed after a military
trial. A copy of the sentence of the
court, setting forth the evidence in
the case, was promised the American
consular representatives. Mr.. Bryan
said full report of the affair was on
its way ~ mail from Consul Edwards,
TO whom General Villa had personally
explained the incident.

EUROPE BEHIND
GREAT BRITAIN
Holds Toll Exemption Violates
Treaty, Says President.
OTHER REASONS FOR REPEAL
OF Such Crave Effect Upon Inter
national Relations They Can
not Be DivuIged, Is
lntmation.

Washington. President Wilson
took the newspaper correspondents a
little further into his confidence con-
corning the international aspects of
the free tolls controversy when he de-
clared 1t to be his belief that all Eu-
rope stood with Great Britain in re-
gard to the exemption clause of the
Panama Canal act as a violation Of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
The President was careful to ex
plain, however, that he did not base
his opinion on any official protests
which these other nations have lodged
against the clause. for, he declared,
Great Britain was the only country to
file protest. At the same time, he
said, information had come to him
showing clearly how the other govern
ments regarded the matter.
1t also leaked out that the President
has given his callers within the last
few days a reason Of greater import
ance than any here tofore disclosed by
visitors willing TO talk why repeal
should be enacted 1t appears that
this reason has to do with American
foreign relations, but the exact nature
of the matter is being kept profound
secret.
The further fact tecame known that
the Presidents friends look to Repre-
sentative Claude Kitchen, of North
Carolina, the heir apparent to the ma
jority leadership, to head the fight for
repeal. They want TO make test of
his strength. Representative Under
wood will probably sit through this
fight and content himself with a mega
tive vote.
Thinks Repeal viii Pass.
President Wilson is firmly OF the
opinion, following additional confer
ences which he had during the day
with leaders in Congress, that he can
get the repeal measure through at the
present session of Congress. He told
correspondents that at the proper
time the Repeal bill would be pushed
to the front and passed By proper
time, he explained, he meant that it
would be taken up as soon as the lead
ers in both houses could shape the
legislative program so as to admit of
consideration of repeal
Although efforts have been made by
some of the House and Senate leaders
to postpone action until the short SEES
sion, beginning next December, in
order that a break with the President
might not occur before the Congress
sional and Senatorial elections next
fall, the President took the position
that settlement of the question be-
fore that time was necessary from
the fact that ships will be passing
through the waterway before the short
sessions begins.

w. VA. FACES DEFICIT.
State Will Not Be Represented At
Panama Exposition.

Charleston, W. Governor Henry
d. Hatfield, in statement, declared
that the reason the $4,000 appro-
priated for a West Virginia building
at the Panama-Pacifc Exposition, at
San Francisco, is not available is be-
cause of the deficit facing the State
treasury. Should all appropriations be
paid, West Virginias treasury will
have a deficit of more than $1,000
600 in 1915. The Governor says the
Paint Creek strike cost 100000, and
that prohibition will result in a de-
crease in State revenues of more than
s612CO0 annually
