 The announcement that Benton met his death after a trial by a court martial was made by Bryan today, who said he had no further details.
 Villa takes the position that a for eigner who had threatened the life of a military officer is subject to no immunity or to any of the rights ordinarily extended to non-combat- ants.
 Villa telegraphed Robert B. Pe- quiera, the constitutionalist agent here, today. citing the United States rule governing armies in the field that persons within occupied terri tory who employ violence toward the established authorities are subject to the penalty of death whether they arise singly or in numbers
 The Villa telegram continues: There is no doubt that Benton was a Huerta sympathizer and that he I had murdered Mexican citizens. He deliberately attempted an act of vio- | lence against the person and life of the commanding general, and for that reason, in accordance with the law and usages of war. he was tried by a military tribunal and executed in pursuance of that sentence. Tho entire proceeding is sustained by European and American precedents.' s He further cites the fact that Gen eral Jackson in 1918. hanged two British subjects for having giver

CHANDLER HIGH
 SCHOOL NEXT
Superintendent of County Schools Mandamused to Call Election for Location of Another High School on South Side

Chandler is determined to have it's high school, and from present indica- tions the city will be allowed to vote on the matter at an early date. Judge Phillips in mandamus proceedings brought against County Schools Super intendent Riggihs, decided yesterday that the people of the Chandler dis trict might vote on a high school if they wished and that they might have the desired school in the event they voted in favor of it.
 The matter. went to, Judge Phillips after it had been passed on by Super intendent Higgins and County Attorney Lyman. Since Chandler is already in the Mesa and Tempe high school dis tricts, the school authorities at the ad- vice of the county attorney decided that they could not erect a new district and that such a district would be against the law. The mandamus pro- ceedings were brought then at the in stance of Chandler and the judgment was returned in favor of Chandler
 The whole matter came at this time because Mesa is about to vote some $150,000 in high school bonds, and be- cause Chandler claims that they arc already paying on bonds issued by Mesa and are receiving little or no benefit therefrom because of the dis tance to the school. However. the law provides that where union high schools are erected only one shall be erected in a certain area or district, and when Chandler asked for a district of their own such fact was stated to them by the authorities.
 Chandler is located peculiarly in-so- far as high school is concerned. She has 12 sections in the Mesa school district, in the Tempe district and 4 which are in no district at all. There fore more trouble.
 The superintendent of schools did not know yesterday if Chandler would be allowed to vote her district or not If the case is appealed to the state su- preme court the judgment of the lower court may be reversed and Chandler may be prevented from erecting a school district within a school district. However, it has not been definately de- cided to take such action.

Anna Ivonovna is one of the most
striking figures in Russian history.
She was born in 1895, a niece of Peter
the Great. At fifteen she married
the Duke Of Courland who left her
a childless widow of sixteen the fol-
lowing year. For fifteen years she
lived in the dreary court of Mitau,
the capital of the duchy of which
she had been left in control She
was sought by countless suitors for
her duchy and because of her close
relationship to the emperor. She was
the political plaything of the north
of Russia.
But Anna had strength of mind
to maintain her independence. She
was a woman of great though mas
culine beauty, a head taller than
most of the men who surrounded her.
She was bitter and unhappy and ex-
erted a sort of melancholy fascina-
ton over those who were under her
influence.
When Peter the Great died she was
one of the many possible successors
to the throne of all the Russias, and
finally the mobiles decided to set aside
all the other claims and recognize
only hers. They did this because she
was the weakest candidate of all and
they hoped to keep her in subsection
to their wishes. They made her sign
an agreement when she assembled the
throne which practically tied her
hands. She couldn't put any noble
to death no matter what his offence
