Fog Prevented Engineer From
Observing Signals; Sugges
tions Are Made
John p, Dohoney, investigator of
accidents for the Public Service Com
mission, has tiled a report with the
Commission covering the rear-end col
lision on the line of tho Pennsylvania
railroad near Conemaugh, on January
29, when the Cincinnati, Indiana &
Chicago Express ran into the rear end
rif a cabin cur drawn by an extra
Freight engine, and killed three em
ployos. The report says that by rea
son of a heavy fog the engineer of
Hie Express truin failed to propcrlj
observe the automatic signals.
The report says that while it is tho
.duty of u fireman to verify signals
*'hon called out by the engineer, the
fireman on the express train failed to
perform this service in a manner to
contribute to the safety of the move
ment. and adds:
"It may be staled, however, in
connection with this phase ol' the
matter that it seems impossible
for a fireman to effectively ob
serve signals anil to attend to Ills
other duties at the same time, and
some other method of verification
ought to be adopted by which the
warning of a signal may not eas
ily lie overlooked."'
Tho Express was traveling at the
fate of about 37 miles an hour when
tho accident occurred, and on this
point the report says:
"Under conditions such as the
existence of a heavy fog, extra
precaution ought to lie employed
in the operation of trains, and un
til a more effective method along
the line of safety shall be em
ployed the s|>ced of trains during
tile existence of unfavorable con
ditions ought to he reduced to
such a degree as to practically
preclude a recurrence of such ac
cidents as that with which this
report deals."
Pay Car Escapes
a Serious Wreck
Olio little stick of dynamite came
Dearly putting tin- middle division pay
car, clerks and crew, completely out
nf business Wednesday afternoon dur-1
lug the trip over the Bedford division
of the Pennsylvania railroad.
It was Charles Lingal'ellcr, the spe
cial duty engineer, who discovered the
dangerous stick of explosive. The pay
car had stopped at State Line to hand
over somo cash to employes at that
place. Engineer Lingafclter turned to I
nee what his fireman was doing, and
liotieed a. peculiar looking object on
the top of the coal about to be thrown
Into the fire.
Calling to liis fireman to stop, En
gineer Lingafclter found the black
Stick was dynamite. It is the opinion
that tho dynamite was carelessly
thrown on a coal pile at the mines.

Telegram Mude Public
Itoberto V. Pesqulera, constitution
alist agent here, made public the fol
lowing telegram from Constitutionalist
headquarters ut Juarez:
"Benton entered Villa's apartment
very unexpectedly demanding protec
tion for his interests and bitterly in
sulting Villa and the Constitutional
army. General Villa told him that he
considered him an enemy to the Con
stitutionalist cause and that in order
that he might not continue to work
against it, he, Villa, was going to pay
him tho value of his property (Ben
ton's) in the State of Chihuahua.
"Benton became very exasperated at
this, and drew his revolver, Intending
to kill the general, but the latter im
mediately knocked him down, dis
armed him and sent him to jail. Ben
ton was afterward tried by a special
military tribunal, sentenced to death
and duly executed, all in accordance
with the laws and usages of war."
Brynn lias Little News
Announcement that Benton met
death in Juarez after a court martial
ordered by Villa was made to-day by
Secretary Bryan, who said he had no
further details. His information crime
In a dispatch from Consul Edwards at
Juarez who said he had read the
court martial proceedings which were
forwarded by mail to Washington.
Secretary Bryan communicated
Consul Edwards' latest message to Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambas
sador and instructed Consul Edwards
to demand adequate protection and a
fair hearing for Gustav Bauch, an
American citizen for whose safety in
Juarez grave apprehension has been
felt. Friends of Bauch In El Paso

By Associated Press
El Paso, Texas, Feb. 21.—El Paso,
after a day and night of excitement
over news of the execution of William
C. Benton and the indignation meet
ing which ensued, awakened to-day to
anxiety and conjecture as to the fate
of Gustav Bauch, an American, ac
cused by the rebels at Juarez as being
a spy, and of two Englishmen, who
disappeared in Juarez last Wednesday.
Bauch disappeared from his cell

Great Britain Looking
to United States to
Protect Her Subjects
By Associated Press
London, Feb. 21.' —Tho British gov
ernment up to noon to-day had not
taken any action in regard to the exe
cution nt Juarez of William S. Ben
ton, tho Scottish ranchman, beyond
instructing Sir Cecil Spring-Lake, Brit
ish ambassador at AV'ashington, to ob
tain from Secretary Bryan all possible
information on the affair.
Although the tragedy has croated a
sensation throughout the British Isles,
it lias not aroused any disposition on
the part of responsible members of
tho British government to change
their policy in regard to Mexico.
There is no concealment of the fact,
however, that murder of British sub
jects in Mexico, unless followed by
punishment of the murderers and the
payment, of Indemnities) arc likely to
arouse public opinion here to the point}
where it will demand that the British
government take a more aggressive
attitude.
This fact had been Impressed upon
the State Department at Washington
by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice before any
British lives had been lost in Mexico,
looking to tlio United States
In its ofiicial attitude Great Britain
is looking to the United States gov
ernment to protect British subjects
and has no doubt -that the United
States will do its best.
The State Department at "Washing
ton has already Informed the British
government that where there are no
British consuls In Mexico the consuls
of the United States will look after
British Interests.
The British government has no
communication with the Mexican Con
stitutionalists through diplomatic or
consular channels.
The members of the British govern
ment consider that the recognition of
the Constitutionalists as belligerents
would be a mistake.
Newspaper Comment
The Evening Standard says: "The
execution of Benton emphasises the
fact that some kind of international
compulsion will soon be necessary to
stop Mexico from wallowing in this sty
of corruption and cruelty."
The Globe, after asking what is go
ing to happen in case Investigation
proves the guilt of Villa, says:
"The United States has not only the
responsibility involved in its assertion
of the Monroe Doctrine, but the re
sponsibility of having supplied Villa
and the rebels with arms, thereby pro
moting the lawlessness which has bad
such grievous results for British lives
and interests. President Wilson has
gone too far to shrink from going
farther."
Shooting Is Discussed
Widely in Mexico City
By Associated Press
Mexico City, Feb. 21.—The story of
the execution of William S. Benton
by the rebel Villa, is displayed to-day
under large type headlines in all the
Spanish and English newspapers.
El Imparclal labels it "the new as
sassination, which has horrified oven
the dupes captained by the execrable
bandit." It declares that Villa killed
Benton in cold blood, afterward ir
derlng a fictitious court martial in
order to cover his act of murder.
The leaders of the British colony
here are contemplating calling a mass
meeting of British residents to make
representations on the subject and to
demand from their government more
adequate protection for their country
men residing in rebel territory.
Uhe affair Is widely discussed in the
federal capital and has caused expres
sions of indignation on all sides.

JUSTICES REFUSE

Commissions Sent Back From

by the Recorders
MEN DECLINE TO QUALIFY
Monday Will Be a Holiday on the
Hill and Capitol Gets Ready
to Observe
Offices aro going
2 begging in almost
t0 offlcc °' l ' lo
turning commis
sions of men elected justices of the
peace. Boroughs and townships are
entitled to a certain number of Jus
tices and It happens that in some of
the rural and sparsely settled districts
there is not enough business to occupy
the attention of one justice to say
nothing of two and one magistrate is
virtually the rule. At the primary
election the names of men aro inserted
for the justiceships and as the can
didates seldom go to the trouble to
withdraw their names on the Novem
ber ballot and they are elected. In
due course of time their names are
sent to the Capitol and commissions
are sent them.
Thus far scores of commissions have
been sent back to the State House by
recorders who state that the men
elected declined to lift their commis
sions and as they are not taken out
within the required period the office
becomes vacant automatically.
Lycoming county has returned 32
commissions because of failure of Jus
tices to apply for them and Allegheny
28. Clinton county sent back 18,
Washington 16, Westmoreland 14,
Delaware and Erie 13 each; Schuylkill
nrwi Clarion 12 each, Mercer 11, Perrv
and Warren 10, Franklin and Mont
gomery 7, Lebanon, Lawrence and
Mercer 6. Others returned smaller
numbers and many counties arc not
heard from.
In some cases application is made
for appointment of men to fill the va
cancies but as a rule they remain un
filled because of lack of anyone who
wants them.
Draft Schedule.—Drafting of the
schedule for the furnishing of sup
plies to the departments of the State
government and the legislature during
the session of 1910 has been started
by the board of public grounds and
buildings, and it is expected that be
cause of the growth of business that
the number of Items will exceed the
schedule of 1913, which contained
over 7,100. The schedule includes
everything needed about the capitol
from paper and pencils to drafting
instruments, dusting brushes and nuts
for the squirrels which live in Capitol
park. The bids for the furnishing of
the supplies will be opened in May
and the contracts awarded for the
year beginning in June.
Abandoned Farms.— Steps are being
taken by officials of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture to secure the lo
cation and acreage of abandoned
'arms in Pennsylvania so that steps
can be taken to utilize them. It is 1
the belief of State officials that the
farms actually abandoned and suffered
to grow up in brush is smaller than
supposed and that in many farm dis
trlcts farms have boon allowed to run
down because of lack of means to
reach markets. Complete data re
garding farms is to be compiled and
made public. ] n addition the depart
ment will soon issue a study of the
soils of Pennsylvania, giving detailed
information regarding constituents in
various counties and ways and means
to bring about improvement.
New Uniforms.—As soon as the
smaller sizes aro received from the
War department the issuance of the
olive drab woolen service uniform to
organizations of the National Guard
will be commenced by the adjutant
general. A large portion of the uni
forms needed are now at the arsenal
and General Stewart is awaiting the
remainder. Tho idea is to have all of
the organizations equipped with this
uniform when the regular army offi
cers inspect the organized militia In
April.

LIGHTS WHS ON
MM ST. COMING
Have Long Been Urged and Recent
Robberies Have Increased De
mand on Commissioners
Plans aro under consideration by
the Ewatara township commissioners
that eventually may lead to the laying
of sidewalks and lighting with elec
tricity of a part of Mohn street. This
street starts at Front street, Steelton,
and runs through the thickest part of
the borough's foreign colony.
I The Harrisburg Light and Power
'Company plans to relocate all of its
poles along this street so that there
will be room for a five-foot sidewalk
along the road. Engineers of the
township have already established
grades along the street for pavements
and a number of residents will lay
sidewalks as soon as the woather per
mits.
Just how soon the lighting may
come is still a matter of conjecture,
according to some of the comission
ers. Lights in this section have been
strongly urged for some time.
Lately there have been many rob
beries, raids of henhouses and small
holdups in this district. Many people
believe that if lights were placed
along the street much of this crime
would be stopped. A great part of
tho district in the township is not
policed.
Pillar Just Refuses to
Be Moved From Spot
Years ago the bricklayers knew
HOW to build brick walls—that, at
least, is tho opinion of the workmen
who are dismantling the old open
hearth furnaces at tho Pennsylvania
Steel Company's plant here to make
room for improvements.
Bright and nearly yesterday a gang
of foreigners armed with picks at
tacked one of tho pillars that sup
ported an old furnace. The foreign
ers swung their picks hard, but not a
brick moved. The foreman in charge
urged more force back of the blows,
but not a brick oven budged. Then
he cussed —gently, of course, as all
foremen do —and the blows were re
doubled; but no use.
An engineer happened along and
suggested dynamite. The workmen
were called off unci a heavy charge
of the explosive was placed beneath
the pillar. It exploded with a shock
that shook the town. A shower of dirt
and debris followed tho explosion—
but the pillar still stood. Tn despera
tion the engineer in Charged called for
a shifting engine and a long woven
wire cable. One end of this cable,
an inch thick, was placed around the
pillar and the other end was attached
to the engine. The engine pulled the
I cable taut, then jerked it—no budge
—and Jerked again.
Swish! Zip! and the cable tore.
Another stouter one was secured, fas
tened to pillar and engine. When
work stopped last evening the engine
was still puffing and snorting—but the
.pillar still stood.
