BANDIT SHOOTS THREE
Men Who Try to Block HoId.Up Of
Passenger Train erutaIIy Killed by
One Of Robbers.

Bellingham, Feb. 21.-When three
passengers on the Great Northern pas
senger train bound for Vancouver. un-
dertook to resist one of trio Of rob-
bers who entered the day coach nine
miles south of here last night, the rob-
ber drew an automatic pistol and shot
the men dead in their tracks.
Thomas B. Wadsworth, a Canadian
Pacific conductor. of Vancouver, B. c.;
r. D. Lee, Of Bremerton, Wash, and
M. C. McElhoes, travelling salesman
of Vancouver, b. c., are the victims.
It is believed the three bandits
boarded the train at Burlington. a few
miles south of the scene of the hold-up.
They were seen to leave the smoking
car and enter the vestibule between 1t
and the day coach, where they tied
white handkerchiefs about Their faces.
One of the men then entered the
day coach and walked to the rear door.
a second one stepped just inside the
coach, while the. third remained in the
ycstibule. @
/. Grappis With Him.
AS the man reached the rear door
and started. to lock It, the three pas
senRefS who were killed leaped from
their seats and grappled with him. At
that minute the robber who was at the
forward end Of the coach began shoot
ing into the ceiling Of the car and put
out the lights. The robber graphing
with the three passengers fired prob
ably ten shots. Lee was the first man
to fall. The next two shots killed
Wadsworth and McElhoes.
Lee was trying to crawl behind the
rear seat when the bandit turned his
gun on him and fired five or six shots
into his back. None of the shots fired
by the other bandit took effect.
Women Faint.
Half a dozen women tainted. The
robber who killed the passengers
turned and started back to the front
of the coach. AS he passed along sew
eral women passengers held their
purses in the aisles. He gathered UP a
handful of them and then ran. The
three bandits left the train together as
1t came to stop from a signal given
by the conductor. Posses were hurried
ly formed and special train was
hurried to the scene but on account Of
the wildness of the surrounding coun-
try and the opportunity offered for get
ting away in boat to the San Juan
islands. little hope is held out for their
speedy capture.

New York. Feb. 2l.-Felix Diaz, who
helped about the downfall OF Madero
but who later had to flee from Mexico
for his life, arrived here today from
Havana. He declared he had no In
tention of alying himself with Car
rama and Villa. and declined to dis
cuss and plans he had, If any, to re.
gain the power his family once had in
Mexico. He said he left Havana be-
cause he feared the hospitality of the
Huertaistas, who had already made one
attempt to kill him since he fed from
Vera Cruz.

to meet any emissary Of the revolu-

my own personal friends"
Diaz is a nephew Of Proiirio Diaz.
former president of Mexico, who went
into exile in Europe when Madero
gained control of the republic. Until
the younger Diaz resigned a few
months ago he was brigadier- general
in the Mexican army. On the night
OF Oct 13 he fled from Vera Cruz and
took refuge on a United States war
ship.
His next move, he said today. has
not been determined. There was no
delegation to meet him when he step
ped off the steamer Moro Castle. A
10 5-year-old boy. son of A. Miranda, a
relative of Mrs. Diaz. took him in
charge as soon as the customs officers
had passed his baggage. He and his
wife went to Mr.. Miranda's apart
ments at 517 West Thirty ninth street,
where he will make his home while in
New York.
With General Diaz were his wife and
four countrymen, who like him fled
from Vera Cruz and have cast their
fortunes with him. They are Joseph

stunt like that with my wife. Not so
that you could notice IT," He went
back to his own desk wondering If
Benson had won out as easily as he
supposed.
When Benson reached home that
evening he found the dinner awaiting
him as usual, and It was good din
ner. But his wife was getting it ready
in her winter wraps-she had on her
heavy cloak and a scarf was wound
round her head and throat. She wore
a pair of kid gloves when she sat down
at the table. The house was as cold
as the grave. Benson sat down oppo-
site his wife and tried to eat. But he
was ashamed to put on his overcoat
and it was altogether too cold to en-
joy the dinner in any other garb. So
he hurried over his favorite dishes,
then got up and began to pace the
floor. Mrs. Benson did not offer any
comment. She sat perfectly quiet and
her conduct was as chilly as the
house.
Next morning Benson was an hour
late at the Office. AS he went to his
desk after hanging up his hat and
coat Simpson got up and went to meet
him. 1t was evident that Simpson
. had been thinking over the converse
! ton of yesterday and had come for
more details.
"Well,' he began, fire going this
morning, Perk? And did it take you
an hour to persuade her to fix it,"
Benson looked not in the least en-
barrassed. you mean did fix the
fire." he retorted. II told you, didn't |,
that meant to fix that fire no more?
Well, all I've got to say is that | did
not fix it,"

"And is she going to fix it every morn
ing after this?"
Not exactly" replied Benson. I'VE

son, grinning. How on earth did
you-"
"Oh, | suppose l might as well tell
you now as any time. l had to use
diplomacy, that's all. 1t was the only
way in which we could both retain our
dignity-and had to allow as much
as that, didn't II"
THAT doesn't answer my question,
persisted Simpson. Come across
now. How did you settle it,"

Mr.. BENsoN's DIPLOMACY
BY JULIE LlNDQUlST.

Mrs. ]. Perkins Benson knew pre-
cisely what she wanted and usually
managed to get it. ]. Perkins Benson
was of like mind. So when Benson
met Benson the tug Of war was on.
Mrs. Benson was large, capable and
in perfect health. ]. Perkins was
healthy enough, but he had nothing to
boast of in the matter of size. Both
had determination to positively pain
full degree.
Benson had to leave the house rath.
er early to get to the office on time.
Only after prolonged argument had he
managed to convince Mrs. Benson Of
the many benefits to be gained by a
residence so far from town. and even
after he had finished his argument she
did not seem more than half con-
WINGED. However, Mrs. Benson found
no difficulty in remembering most of
the things her husband had said upon
that occasion She frequently took
pains to recall to his mind some Of his
promises, and between times she as
serted over and over again that she
would never, under any conditions,
agree to fix the furnace fire. You'll
just have to get up little bit earlier"
she concluded, calmly.
Benson felt that he ought not to be
expected to fix the furnace fire when
he hardly had time to catch his train,
but no amount Of argument and Ca
jolery could influence Mrs. Benson. So
Benson decided to try something else.
One cold morning he got out Of bed
at the usual time, but arrived at the
railroad station five minutes earlier
than usual This was because he had
walked gayly out Of his own front door
without having gone to the basement
at all that morning. And as he tripped
down the front steps he had called
lightly back over his shoulder: "Oh,
by the way, Myra. I forgot to fix the
furnace. If you don't want to freeze
you'll have to break your rule for
once"
When Benson arrived at the Office
he was whistling and he seemed so
excessively cheerful that Simpson, his
office neighbor, went over to inquire:
whats up, Perk? Get raiser"
Benson did dance step or two
away, away, base varlet!" he replied
blithely. Away and serve, If you will
the woman who is both your wife and
your ruler. AS for me, I bow to the
dictates of no female! l." He paused
to clap Simpson on the back heavily
II shook of the chains Of slavery this
morning, ira la, ira la. defled my
wife on my own stoop. and she has to
fix the furnace fire every morning
from now on"
Simpson seemed impressed. II wish
I had your nerve" he SAID, but 1,
