NEW REPUBLIC PROPOSED
To Take in Part of Northern Mexico
Plan Being Perfected.

Chihuahua, Feb. ga plan for the
formation in northern Mexico of new
republic is now being perfected, accord
ing to persistent rumors which were in
circulation here yesterday.
Certain rebel leaders intimate that
the delay of the Constitutionalist attack
on Torreon is due to the scheme for the
divorce of'southern Mexico. While GEN
eral Carranza, civil head of the revolu-
ton, and General Villa, the military
leader, disclaim any part in plan which
does not include the overthrow of Huer-
ia, it is believed by many here that the
proposition for an independent republic
is being seriously considered by them
and others.
Reports emanating from Mexico City
that the federal garrison at Torreon has
been strengthened to point where it
can make a formidable resistance have
added impetus to the idea of a separa-
tion of the north from the south, and
General Carranza's coming to Chihuahua
from the Pacific coast is looked on as
possibly indicating an early adoption of
the plan.
Many rebel leaders profess to believe
that Whatever the outcome OF the pres
ent revolution, the north and south will
soon be completely severed. The north,
they assert, already is politically inde-
pendent and has adopted a progressive
attitude wholly at variance to conditions
in the south, where two factions
indifferent and the adherents of the old
Diaz regime -predominate.
The territory which it is said might
be formed into separate republic EN-
braces the five states along the United
States border-Sonora, Chihuahua, Goa
hula, Neuyo Leon and Tamaulipas, with
possibly the inclusion of Sinaloa. From
virtually all of this territory the Huerta
army has been driven out, the chief re-
naming strongholds of the federals be-
ing at Tampico on the east, Monterey,
Saltillo and Torreon on the south, Quay
amas on the west, and Neuyo Laredo and
Riedras Negras on the north.

FL Paso. Texas, Feb. 23.-Consular
authorities ut Juarez and chihuahua to:
day were spurred to unusual efforts to
learn the fate of Roger Lawrence, Gus
tav. Bauch, Harry Compton and ranch
er, named Curtis, all believed to be vic
Tins Of General Villas ire. Late yester-
day American Consul Edwards at Juarez
and Letcher at Chihuahua received or
ders from Secretary of State Bryan to
proceed diligently to search for the
missing men.
In El Paso the feeling is strong that
Curtis and Lawrence met the same fate
and did their friend, William S. Benton,
who was killed Tuesday by order Of
General Villa. Curtis and Lawrence had
gone to Juarez in search of Benton,
knowing that he had planned to tell Viii
la what he thought of him. They have
not been seen since.

Worst Storm Of Season Over
Middle States This

PUBLIC SERVICE
BADLY CRIPPLED
Many Trains Stalled and
Street Car Traffic at
Standstill

Chicago, Feb. 23.--Tbe worst snow
storm of the season which started yes
terday continued early to-day over a
large part of the middle west. Through
out Missouri, Iowa, central and southern
Illinois, Kanas, Nebraska, Indiana and
Ohio heavy snow was falling, accompan-
led by high winds.
Telegraph and telephone service was
demoralized, especially south of here,
and steam railroad traffic was badly de-
layed in central Illinois and Missouri
Many trains were stalled and in several
cities street car traffic was set at a
standstilL

ARE AWAITING
FULL REPORTS
Before United States Is Committed to a
New Position in the Discussion of
Mexican Situation.

Washington, d. c., Feb. % The Mex
lean situation, especially the somewhat
tense aspect which it has assumed as the
result of the execution by General Villa
of William Benton, British subject,
continued uppermost in the public mind
to-day. Detailed reports containing
General Villas personal explanation of
the affair to American Consul Edwards
at Juarez is expected to reach here by
mail to-day. Judgment is to be reserved
by the American government until other
details sought by independent investiga-
tions are received.
Thus far the state department has
learned only Villas side of the case. The
right of the constitutionalist command
er to subject Benton to courtmartial
and execute him if he made an attempt
on Villas life is not questioned by
American officials, but the story of Ben
tons friends that he was unarmed, that
he was killed by Villa himself and that
the courtmartial was nothing but an in
quest is being carefully taken into con-
sideration.

STRANGE VARIETY
OF WINTER STORM
Sweeping Eastward From Tennessee,
Leaving Blanket of Snow and Be-
ing Followed BY Cold Snap.

Washington, d. c., Feb. pa bowling
Tennessee blizzard, rare variety of win
ter storm, is headed for the East and is
expected to be whipping the coast with
icy rains and snow tonight or to-mor-
row. The weather observers described
the storm as vigorous and driving. Snow
is falling to-day in the Ohio valley, the
middle Atlantic and southern New Eng
land states, while the south Atlantic and
Gull states are having cold rain.
A cold wave is following in the wake
OF the storm. Warnings were ordered
up along the Atlantic coast from Cape
Henry to Eastport, Me. The probabil-
ities are, however, that the storm win be
short-liyed, passing out TO sea by
Wednesday, with warmer weather there.

The Times, in an editorial, similarly
counsels the suspension of judgment
pending the American inquiry.
after that says The Times, "it will
be time to take means to secure such
satisfaction as the nature of the deed
may demand. The American government
itself would despise us were we capable,
for any consideration, of overlooking the
murder of fellow citizen, and should
the murder be confirmed it will expect
us to require the same punishment for
all responsible as the American govern
ment would have exacted had Benton
been an American citizen"
Say q. S. Is Responsible.
The Times proceeds to protest against
the view reported to be current in the
United States that according to interna-
tional law, Great Britain's complaint lies
against Huerta, not against President
Wilson.
The Times also declines to credit the
report that the Washington government
still believes in Villa and will expect
Great Britain to accept his defense of
their "so-called execution
The Daily Graphic contends that the
United States is responsible for Villas
conduct, but that if it refuses to inter-
vene to secure satisfaction President Will
son must not complain, if, in self-defense,
Great Britain and possibly other ag-
grieved powers, take their own measures
for tie protection of their large interests
in Mexico.
The Standard deprecates magnifying
the incident into grave international
question 1t has no doubt that the
United States will take proper steps, and
says that in any case the rebels in arms
cannot plead the exigencies of martial
law as an excuse for the murderous out
rage.

MAINTAINS IT'S STANDING.
The Vermont Medical College Still Is in
Glass A.

Burlington, Feb. 23.--Dean III. G. Tink-
ham of the medical department of the
University of Vermont and DIR. b. H.
Stone, director of the state laboratory
of hygiene, telegraphed from Chicago
yesterday that the Vermont Medical coll
lege is to receive the same rating, which
is in class A, as during the past year.
The message was as follows;
Chicago, ILL.,, February 81, 1914.
president Guy Potter Benton,
University of Vermont:
mo change in rating for the Univer-
sity of Vermont's College of Medicine.
DIR. Bevan, chairman of the council of
medical education. believes it to be inn
portant for the state to continue medical
education in Vermont, and that it is the
duty of the council to help the state and
the Medical college.
(Signed) "Tinkham,
"Stone."
The Vermont College of Medicine is
now given rating of A, being one of
the twenty-five leading medical colleges
in the country, as regards high stand
ards and the standing of its graduates
as shown by examinations before the
state boards of the United States.
The fact that this rating is to be
maintained upon investigation by the
highest standardizing body for medical
education in the United States is rightly
regarded by friends of the institution
as a thorough vindication of its claims
to meritorious as well as efficient service.

GIRL wIFE's AGE IN QUESTION.
Mrs. Henry Plouff's Mother Says Daugh-
ter Was 16-Girl's Husband Arrested.

Henry Plouff was arrested Saturday
night on the unusual charge of falsifying
to obtain a marriage certificate. The ar
rest was made by Officer Harry Gamble
on complaint made by Grand Juror
A. G.. Fay. The respondent waived ex-
animation when arraigned before Judge
H. w. Scott in preliminary proceedings.
Bail was fixed at $780, which the re-
spondent furnished, and the case was
entered returnable at the approaching
term OF Washington county court.
The case involves technical charge of
perjury. The state alleges that Ploutf
swore to false statement in procur-
ing a marriage license from City Clerk
James Mackay last June. His wife's
maiden name was Lillian Marcelle of
Swanton. In filling out the certificate,
to which he afterwards attested by oath,
Plouff is alleged to have declared his
wife's age to be is. Her parents writ
ten consent was therefore not necessary,
and the certificate was issued. Now
comes the respondents motherin-law, ac-
eording to the complainants, with the al
legation that her daughter had scarcely
seen 10 summers when the license was
issued and the marriage pact eonsum-

but his dreams have suddenly pas
sed away in the face of figures
which show that up to the present
time he is sixteen thousand votes
behind his competitor, Senator Ell
alison D. Smith. 49,.
South Carolina has had much with
which to contend during the past
half a century. Crushed by mill
tl7ay and canpetbag rulers at the
close of of the civil war, her woes
were followed by negro domination,
dual legislatures and every other
political incubi until her people,
under Wade Hampton and others
managed to replace the state IN
the position it held in the Ameri-
can union previous to the secession
movement.
Bleaseism was a blight of late
years and the people Of the entire
country will rejoice with those OF
the southern state that it has been
effectually uprooted.
When Blease won in his race for
Governor two years ago in spite OF
the opposition Of Senator ben1a-
