SACRAMENTO, March 12.-A de- serter from the army of unemployed who slipped through the sentries guarding the Sacramento side of the river. brought word tonight that the men are fashioning clubs from fire wood given them and will meet force tomorrow with force Pick handles were employed against them in the last battle which ended in their rout.
 The sheriffs and district attorneys of four California counties delivered the ultimatum that the army of un- employed" must disperse immediately. If willing to scatter peaceably, citi- zens committee of Sacramento is will ing to pay the fares of the 600 to TOO men remaining in the army to any point within a radius of fifty miles. They are not to be permitted to march en mass anywhere, and if not willing to disband, the authorities will be forced to take other measures.
 The army left San Francisco last week on transcontinental march to Washington. The action decided on
  of twenty to fifty men, herd them to the tracks and bundle them into the cars. Two factions of the army, it is said, could not decide on an an swer to the ultimatum before noon.
 The publicity committee of the army asserted that if the men were split up in fifties, they were sure 10 be clubbed, so they had better stick to- gether.
 We will only move on the condi- tion that all our men are released from the jails and hospitals, and that we get transportation east. We don't intend breaking any laws or to cause violence, but demand justice for our men in jail. That we must have. Our ranks are growing hourly.
 All the unions of the Pacific coast are responding readily to our appeals for help, and we are preparing for a long, hard struggle"

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Secre- tary of State Bryan promised the Japanese ambassador to procure per mission for the passage of about 150 Japanese through American territory from Fl Paso to Calexico, on the ex- treme northwest corner of the Mex ican state of Sonora.

Recently He Was Relieved of His Command ill Con stitutionalist Army and Eusibio Calsado Named as His Successor
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH ]

FL PASO. March 12-Information that evidence thus far gathered by the Carranza commission indicates that Major Rudolfo Fierro was the slayer of William s. Benton, assum- ed importance with the arrival of Americans from Chihuahua with the news unconfirmed, that Fierro had been arrested on a charge of mur- dering two Mexican railroad off cials.
 It also said the commission has gathered convincing evidence that Col Avila, commander of the garri- son at JuareZ, ordered the execution of Gustav Bauch, the German-Ameri- can, who was tried as a spy, but in whose case no verdict was rendered. Rebel officers have repeatedly denied he was killed. Fierro is notoriously cruel and local investigators have been convinced for several weeks that it was he and not Villa, who killed Benton.
 That railroad men were murdered it is known. That Fierro has really been arrested in connection with the case is only a report, but the infor- nation is regarded as probably cor rect by those conversant with the fact that the CarranZa commission started work with the information that Benton was killed by Fierro. Fierro was in Villas office when Benton was killed and he is said to be a distant relative of the rebel chief
 The railroad men are said to have been killed in resort in Chihuahua where Fierro appeared, it is said, intoxicated. They were members of a union and agents of an organization. that made complaint to Villa.
 Bauch was not executed, it is said, until two days after Villa left Juarez. Whether Villa had issued orders for his execution is unknown, but it is known that the evidence thus far gathered indicates that he ordered the execution of the Ger man. American.
 Developments connecting FierrO with the Benton case have been looked for since Monday when the sudden announcement was made that Fierro had been succeeded as general manager of the rebel railroads by Eusubio Calsado.

 Secretary Lane, a group of sena- tors and representatives and mem bers of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce stood by the president as he affixed his signature to the act, which passed both houses of congress by substantial majorities. Secretary Lane afterward had a long talk with the president about the selection of engineers for the work Although Col. Goethals had been mentioned for the work, it is unlikely that he will be through with the Panama canal in time for the present undertaking, which MT. Lane intends to set into operation at once.
 The secretary said the enactment of the railroad bill will be followed by the passage of the Alaska leasing bill which would mean the carrying out of the administration program for the development of Alaska in an incredibly short time.
 Our aim," MT. Lane said, will be not merely to construct a railroad from the sea to the interior but along a rOute that will develon the agricultural and mineral resources of the country so that we may have a railroad that will tap the large coal fields and have other freight to

Lillian May Webber alias. May Beach, a talented and educated woman who passed successively under the names of Madame Lillian May Arriola, wife of the famous Alfred Arriola, band master of San Francisco and May Davenport, of Ventura, California, and about whom there has been much mys- tery, committed suicide at the Adams Hotel yesterday afternoon, supposedly by taking strychnine. She died at the Sisters Hospital at about 7:30 o'clock, after a four hours gallant fight on the part of the physicians in attendance.
 At noon yesterday she went to the home of her friends, Mrs. F. w. Poet ker, and Mrs. Gully, at 805 South First Street, where she had promised to take luncheon. At the time she seemed jol- ly and in the best of spirits. even talk ing to a gentleman friend over the telephone after the meal. Later with her friends she went to her room in the Adams where she drank a glass of water, which is supposed to have con tained the poison. She got into her bed little later complaining that she felt indisposed, and had chill coming on In a few minutes she was in spasms. A doctor was called. she was rushed to the hospital, and after she had been pumped and bled in an eff fort to save her life, she died.
 So far as is known the dead woman l.F@ ot.z to the hospital she told Mrs Poetker and Mrs Gully that she had funds in her purse, but examination showed that there were but two dollars and fifty cents, and a bank book on a Ventura, California bank, in the name of May Beach. That was all, except her eff fleets which were taken by the coroner to be examined today.
 Whatever her true name, she has a history. She arrived in Phoenix about the first of November last soon after calling at the Y. w. c. A. headquarters. where she introduced herself as the wife of Alfred Arriola, the band master of San Francisco. At thesame time she met in the Y. w. quarters a friend of Arriola, who was acquainted with sev- eral O fthe same people the Madame claimed to know.
 Since that time she has been known in several quarters of the city in sev- eral distinct stratas of society and em- ployment, and has made many sensa- tional turns in social and bushes slife. Claiming to be the wife of the famous bandmaster she was received by sev- eral of the most influential social stars of the city. On the same grounds she entered the bushes world of the Salt River Valley. And all the time she was working as the housekeeper at $40 West Moreland Street.
 Four days ago she left the place on West MOreland Stret and went to the Adams Hotel, where she registered as Madame Arriola, and where she stayed until she was removed to the hospital In the meantime she had been enter taining extensively at the hotel and elsewhere, and had planned a dinner party for tonight to which she had in Vited host of friends.
 In all the time she has been in the city she has entertained at the Adams or some other likely conspicuous place
