GANTT Newport, Pa., Feb. 23.—People re turning from church and the com munity In general were greatly shock ed yesterday at noon to hear of the suddoti death of William H. Gantt, senior member of the firm of William 11. Gantt & Son. jewelers. Mr. Gantt. as was his custom, had gone to ser vice at the Presbyterian Church, and remained for a congregational meet ing, which was held immediately after the service. Without any warn ing lie suddenly expired, due to an affection of the heart with which he had been troubled for some time. Mr. Gantt was born in Newport, sixty-one years ago and had led a very active life.

Americans Learn Benton Was Knocked Down and Later Shot by Villa By Associated Press El Paso, Texas, Feb. 23. —The fate of the missiong Englishmen, Laurence and Curtis, and the Americans, Bauch and Harry Compton, In Mexico, was still in doubt to-day nor was there any promise that the body of W. S. Ben ton would be produced by the Juarez authorities. No word was received from the troop train which General Villa at Chihuahua said would be bringing fifteen rejected American re cruits to Juarez and among whom he suggested that the missing foreigners might be found. Americans at last obtained a ver sion of the killing of Benton which they believed to be true. It was that Villa knocked Benton down and then had two of his men take the Scotch man into the backyard where the rebel general presently followed and fired the fatal shot or shots himself. The verdict of the supreme mili tary court of the State of Chicuahua which will decide whether Gustav Bauch, an American charged with be ing a Federal spy, is guilty of the charge and shall be executed or whether he is Innocent and will be al lowed his liberty, will be rendered this week, said Frederlco Gonzales Garza, legal advisor to Colonel Fidelavila to day. He said that Bauch was still alive and in the penitentiary at Chi huahua awaiting final decision of the court which is considering his case. May Have Been Executed Many Americans believe that Bauch was executed in Juarez some time last week and never taken to Chihuahua. Consul Edwards said that as far as he could learn Bauch was in Chihuahua but he had received nothing official re garding him. Marion Letcher, of Chihuahua, who had been Instructed by the Depart ment of State to look up Bauch the day before Villa left for Chihuahua called on Bauch at his prison in the Juarez theater. They talked for about half an hour. Villa asked him agout the charges against him and iiauch maintained that they were absolutely baseless and that he was Innocent of such charges as being a Federal spy. An American was in the party and at the conclusion of the interview sa'd he heard Villa remark to Bauch: "I am going to kill all of you red flag gers and I know you are one of them." Daniels Says Wilson followed Washington By Associated Press Chicago. Feb, 23. —Secretary of the Navy Daniels in his address at the Washington's birthday celebra tion at the Union league Club here to-day declared that President Wilson had needed the admonitions of Wash ington, and in that spirit had received the approval of the people of the United States. "We hav% witnessed in the last year exhibitions of the true American spirit in a way that would do the heart of George Washington good if he were alive, said Mr. Daniels. "In the spirit : of Washington, President Wilson enter ed upon his duties a year ago. As the ! leader he summoned the members of the party to labor with him in redeem ing its pledges. But he did not stop there. He called on men of every party for counsel and co-operation." Government Troop Train Is Blown Up by Rebels Vera Cruz, Mex., Feb. 23.—A gov ernment troop train carrying a com pany of infantry from Mexico City , destined for Jalapa was blown up on | Saturday afternoon by rebels. The wreck occurred near the Lima station j of the Interoceanic railway, 140 miles from Vera Cruz. I The explosion was terrifio and the entire train was demolished. All on board, including 55 officers and men and the English engineer, were killed. A passenger train which was follow ing in the wake of the troop train was fired on by the rebels, but es caped by backing rapidly. , k DEIfELOPMEMIf , LEW SEMITE TO ICT [Continued from First Pa«e] that the Mexican situation would not be generally debated in the Senate, at least until all the facts in the Benton case had been gathered, and then If It came up, the subject would be intro duced in connection with pending resolutions asking that the United States take certain steps to protect foreigners in Mexico. May Be Referred The resolutions, Senator Shively said, "had never been referred to any committee, but that at the next execu tive session they would probably be referred to the foreign relations com mittee for consideration. One resolution by Senator Penrose, Republican, pending since last Au gust, would direct the President to "take such steps as are necessary to place a sufficient numbor of United States troops In Mexico as a constabu lary at such points as in his opinion, they may be needed to properly police and protect citizens of the United States and their property." "It is hereby declared," the Pen rose resolution stipulates, "that such employment of troops is not made with any Intent that such policing and protection shall be construed as an act of hostility or unfriendliness toward the Mexican nation." The Penrose resolution proposes an emergency appropriation of $25,000,- 000 to be expended under the direc tion of the President for its purposes. Intervention Is Not to Be Attempted in Mexico by England London, .Feb. 23.—"The pacification of Mexico is an object we honestly desire to see accomplished, but it is impossible to effect it by British inter vention. We do not intend to make any attempt of that character which would oe both futile an . impolitic." This is the attitude of the British Foreign Office as outlined to-day in the House of Commons by Francis Dyke-Acland, parliamentary under secretary for foreign affairs, "after full consideration of the series of victimi zations of British subjects In Mexico culminating In the removal of William S. Benton by Villa at Juarez." Mr. Acland informed the House that the British government had been in frequent communication with the gov ernments of tne United States and Mexico respecting the protection of British lives and property in Mexico. "The continued fighting in Mexico," he added, "if of very great prejudice to British and other commercial in terests and is a matter of great con cern." Will Produce Papers Mr. Acland promised to lay the pa pers on the subject of Mexico before the House of Commons as soon as pos sible, but he added significantly: "The most interesting papers at the British Foreign Office, however, are communications made at various times, with the government of the United States concerning its policy and its views regarding Mexico. Some of these are of a confidential character and I cannot include them in a blue book without asking the consent of the United Statea government." Newspapers Comment The killing of William S. Benton, the Scotish ranchman, by the rebel Villa at Juarez, occupied the most prominent place in all the newspapers of the British Isles to-day. The Man chester guardian, one of thj leading Liberal papers, says: "It is impossible not to suspect that the execution of Benton was uu bet ter than murder. The facts are pretty clear but it is difficult to draw any lesson from them except that the Mexican leaders still conduct their warfare with the barbarity of the difficulties even though General Hu erta were driven from power." The Pall Mall Gazette, an Opposition orfran, under the heading: "It's mur der most foul" says the slaying of Benton is-an event which touches the honor of the British name to the quick. The Globe says: "The result of the middle ages and that President Wil son would be far from the end of his inquiry conducted by the United States government will be awaited with re strained emotion, but it will have to be conclusive in its justification of the act inquired into if it is to satisfy not only British but we are glad to think American opinion as well." Referring to President Wilson's re fusal to recognize General Huerta as provisional president of Mexico, the Globe asks: "If it be proved that Villa has un justifiably done to death a peaceful British resident, how can the princi ples which condemn Huerta be recon ciled with the approbation and support of his adversary? As the American government has undertaken to protect British subjects in Mexico its obliga tion to act promptly and effectively in the present case is clear." When the British Foreign Secretary related how Sir Cecil Spring-Rice had told Secretary of State Bryan that the public opinion of Europe was likely to be seriously affected by Villa's atti tude, an encouraging cheer rolled through the House. Bryan Promises Inquiry Sir Edward Grey added that Mr. Bryan while declining responsibility for Villa's doings, had promised full inquiry. He said details would be forthcoming and expressed deep re gret at the occurrence. Sir Edward Grey continued: "Before this Incident occurred, the United States government had at our request, impressed upon the leaders of the Constitutional party in Mexico the necessity of respecting the lives of foreigners. I should like to add that the fact that we are communicating with the government of the United States does not of course imply that it has any responsibility f'.r what has taken place. Communication has been made because the United States alone can in these circumstances exercise any influence to discover the truth and get justice done. Juarez is close to the United States frontier and we have no means of exercising influence in those regions under existing circum stances. I am still in communication with the British ambassador at Wash ington and with the United States gov ernment as to what further steps can be taken." Inquires About Others Sir John Rose asked whether Sir Edward Grey had any information concerning other Europeans who are said to have disappeared in Mexico. ! Sir Edward replied: "No, but I have already telegraphed to Sir Cecil Spring-Rice suggesting for his consideration what steps it would be possible to take in this very dis turbed region to ascertain the where abouts of these people." In the course of his explanation Sir Edward Grey read a telegram Sir Cecil Spring-Rice had received from Mrs. Benton at El Paso which was as fol lows: "I beg to advise Tour Excellency that my husband, Benton, a British subject, yesterday went to Juarez and after a heated discussion with Villa was thrown into jail. A friend visited Villa on his behalf. Villa said 'I have not got him In prison. I saw him this morning,' and declined any further talk on the subject."
