TELEGRAPHBUGS NIBLO TRAVEL TALKS [Continued from First Pace] without the expense of actual travel and yet leave the impression that would make one feel that he had actually visited these interesting places in person. The many views that are shown in the series are such that they must charm all who see them; the motion pictures are vividly lifelike and no details are missing that would add to their giving the impression that you were there in the places themselves. The full series includes Africa Egypt, France, Ireland, Italy, London, Russia, Scotland and Spain. Arthur B. Ptice has arranged a most interest ing series of talks that are delivered in a manner that make you feel at home and by which you get a much better idea of the various places than if he were trying to make it a lecture of the dry and "booky" kind. This is a most unusual series of travel talks and comes direct from a series of eastern triumphs in the prin cipal cities of the Atlantic States. The engagement is limited to one week only. A coupon from the Telegraph and 10 cents will buy a ticket of admis sion to any one performance. The regular price is 25 cents.

In bringing "Change" here the man agement Is offering to the public a play which has created a sensation and furor wherever booked. The piece has enjoyed a triumphant engagement at Mr. Wlnthrop Ames, Booth The ater, and at the Alvin Theater, Pitts burgh it was considered to be the most distinguished event of the sea son. We have all seen the change in the past few years, but it is doubtful if PRESIDENT DIES HE WANTED MARINES TContinued l'rom IHrst Page] ment was not averse to having foreign countries send legation guards to Mexico City, and that the diplomatic representatives in Mexico from prac tically all the nations had recommend ed such action. The United States has each time been advised previously of the intention of other countries to send marines to Mexico City and has offered no objections. Very recently President Wilson told callers lie saw no occasion t.o follow the action of other nations in sending marines to Mexico City. It was stated to-day that his position was unchanged. Officials here made it plain that they regarded such an announcement by General Huerta as being made for its possible effect in Mexico City, and to accentuate the provisional president's repeated assurances that foreigners are in no danger. General Villa Reported to Have Cremated Body of British Subject Washington, D. C„ Feb. 26.—The American government to-day was ex erting every influence at its disposal to obtain from General Villa the sur render of the body of William S. Ben ton. the British subject recently exe cuted at Juarez. No reply had been received to the instructions sent to Consul Letcher yesterday to lind Ben ton's grave and Secretary Bryan was surprised by news dispatches quoting Villa as saying Benton was buried in Chihuahua City, There have been per sistent reports here, too, that the body was cremated. Secretary Bryan conferred with President Wilson and said nothing new in the situation had developed. Offi cial denial came from the White House of one published report that Hear Admiral Fletcher had recom mended the landing of marines at Vera Cruz. Attention was chiefly centered on the Benton Investigation and high offi cials conceded that future develop ments of the American policy toward Mexico hinged largely on the outcome of the inquiry. Tost is Developed Another feature of the situation which loomed up as of commanding importance was the fact that the Ben ton incident promises to develop into a test of Carranza's authority and in fluence as chief of the Constitutionalist movement. Every sort of pressure, it is understood, is being brought to bear on Carranza, both by Americans and Mexicans, who have the confidence of Washington officials, with the pur pose of impressing upon him the ne cessity of a clear and eonvin'ing ex planation of all the circumstances sur rounding the death of Benton. If Carranza cannot obtain that from Villa, the power of the so-called "first chief of the Constitutionalists" will fall in the estimation of the Washing ton government. Carranza Favored Officials here have for some time been disposed to feel kindly toward Carranza and favorable Veports on his character were transmitted to I'rcsi iieut Wilson by William Bayard Hale. Should it develop, however, that Car ranza is without control over Villa, it Is more than probable that relations with Carranza will be viewed by offi HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH anyone looked at the condition the same as J. O. Francis, author of the piece. It has remained for him to give us an entirely new phase of the vast change which this generation is experiencing. The story of the con flict between the old and the new is told in a comedy vein, and still retains its philosophy. The aut.ior has writ ten many startling speeches, which furnish food for thought, but just at the time one begins to be thought ful. "Sam Thatcher" gives his opin ion as to how things should be run and immediately there is a comedy situation which is charming in con struction and refreshing in dialogue. —Advertisement cials as of less importance hereafter. Persons in a position to know the viewpoint of the President and his Cabinet officers say the disposition of the administration is to insist upon the facts of Benton episode and possession of the body for medical examination, but that there is nothing yet to indicate a critical stage. Another published report which at T tracted attention of officials was to the effect that the American embassv in Mexico City had been equipped with machine guns. The only arms there, it was said, are several rifles, im ported just before the street fighting that ended in Madero's downfall. Warning to Leave Mexico The possibility that Great Britain, Germanj, Franco and other powers may follow the lead of the United .States in warning their subjects to leave Mexico was discussed in official circles here to-day as a likely effect of the execution recently by the Con stitutionalists of William S. Benton, a British subject. Some officials pointed out that while the United States has twice warned her citizens to leave the rebellion-torn country, European na tions have taken no such precautions, making the problem of extending pro tection to foreigners who insist on re maining In dangerous territory a bur den that is giving the Washington gov ernment much concern. The United States government, it Is understood, would render anv assist ance possible to any foreigners who find it impossible to leave Mexico, affording means of transportation or consular assistance wherever desired. Deadly Drifting, Not Watchful Waiting, Is Policy, Declares Kahn Washington, D. C., Feb. 26.—Repre sentative Kahn, Republican, of Cali fornia. in an address in the House to day expressed the hope that the ad ministration's Mexican policy soon would give way to a new one which would bring about peace and tran quility in the southern republic. While opposing armed intervention, he as serted that "the present policy, unless speedily and radically changed, must I inevitably lead to armed Interven j tion." "The fact that it became necessary to Issue a proclamation removing the embargo on amis to be shipped into Mexico," Representative Kahn said, "is practically an admission of the fail ure of the policy of 'watchful wait ing.' 'Deadly drifting' is a much more accurate description of the adminis tration's policy. And since the em bargo has been removed, what ha* happened? Additional murder, addi tioral lawlessness, for which we are prooably responsible." Mr. Kahn urged that renewed efforts be made to restore peace In Mexico. He expressed the belief that If this government were to invite the co operation of Argentina, Brazil and Chile In an effort to solve the Mexi can difficulty, peace and order soon would be restored In that country. He declared that he did not want to see armed intervention in Mexico, contending that the United States had no right to do so. "We have inter vened politically already," he said, "and in my humble judgment it was a mistake to have done so." Report That Fourteen Americans Are in Jail Is Being Investigated 1 fil Pasc. Texas, Feb. 2ti.—lnvesti gation of the story told last night by A. Michaells thut Guetav Bauch and thirteen other Americans were locked up in jail in Juarez was set on foot to-day. American Consul Edwards, at Juarez, has been assured that with the execution of William S. Benton and the removal of Bauch no foreign ers remained behind the bars. Mlchaelis, who said he left his home in Brooklyn after a quarrel with his family and was arrested at Juarez because o fa fist fight over a game of cards, declined to leave Juarez when newspaper men offered him usylum on the American side.

He said nis jailers took his clothes from him and left him only rags, In which he was turned into the street. Charle Perceval. British consul at Galveston, Texas, is expected here to night to co-operate with the Ameri can investigation of the death of Benton. Diaz Not an Aspirant For Mexican Presidency By Associated Press Nnr York, Feb. 26.—General Felix Diaz, nephew of ex-President Diaz, of Mexico, and himself a recent aspirant for the presidency of his country, has no Intention of taking part In Mexican politics at present.

U.S.SEITIBOI ASSAILS MIDGE r Continued from First Page] monopolies "were the proper thing and all they need Is a little regulation." Pleading for all men who believe in the principles of the .Republican party to aid in its rejuvenation as a genuine ly Progressive party.. Senator Borah declared that "even if the Republican party was at an end ,1 could never join the third party so long as it stands, as it now stands, if I correctly understand Its leaders, on this ques tion of monopoly." "Monopoly," said Senator Borah, "Is ten thousand times worse than black slavery—it is the father of class dom ination, the inolder of chains both for the body and the soul, and cannot exist in any form with safety to the people in a Republic. Mentions Trusts "Mr. Beveridge, who has spoken to you eloquently and effectively, says that trusts and monopolies are the richest, ripest fruits of civilization. He says in print that the beef mono poly, the steel monopoly, and Stand ard Oil monopoly and all monopolies are the result of the combination of genius and energy and of great bene tit to the people." These industrial organizations, he says, (speaking par ticularly of the beef trust, the Stand ard Oil Company and the steel trust), have steadied the whole commercial world and have extended tho period of prosperity by the steadiness they have given to the commercial and fi nancial world. More than that, he says, they have actually caused, com pelled the organization of labor on modern lines. Denounces Tariff 15111 "I do not know just what he lias reference to by 'modern lines' but 1 hardly presume he refers to the fact that an investigation two years ago disclosed that the steel trust worked men twelve hours a day and Beven days In the week." 1 The charge that the courts stand in the way of destroying monopoly, he described as a "shambling, shifting, cowardly pretense raised to conceal the unwillingness to do what ought to be done " Senator Borah denounced, the Dem ocratic tariff revision, declaring that it had put the farmer on a one trade basis. Ohio Republicans estimated in num bers at between 1,600 and 2,000 gath ered here to-day to attend a dinner intended as a "get together" for Re publicans and former Progressives. They heard D.
