* mational banks, e e AT PRUPER TIME| Sir Edward Gray Explains Goverment’s Posntlon. AWAITS AMER[CAN ACTION If United States Falls to Take Further Steps in Benton Killing Great Britaln WIIl, He Says, Proceed to Securs Reparation in Her Own Way. London, March 4—If the United States desires by force to obtain reparation from Mexico for the mur- der of British and American subjects. Great Britain will gladly await the result. [ If the United States does not-take such action Great Britain will de—] mand reparation at such_ time as it best can be done. These, in effect, were the state- ments of Sir Edward Grey, British foreign secretary, in the house of commons. In reply to a question as to the investigation into the death at Juarez of William $S. Benton, the British ranchman, Sir Edward said: “I must ask leave of the house to make a somewhat more extended statement than can be properly com- pressed within the limits of an an- swer to a question. “All the efforts that have been made hitherto have failed to secure an Investigation into the facts ‘re- specting the death of Willlam S. Ben- ton. “The persistent difficulties put in the way of such an investigation create the strongest presumption of & degire and an intention to conceal the truth on the part of those in Mex- ico who are responsible for what has happened. United States Not Responsible. “Communications with the govern- ment of the United States are still proceeding, but I would repeat what I said last week—that these commu- nications do not imply that the gov- ernment of the United States has any responsibility for what has taken place—by which I mean, of course, the death of Benton. “While, therefore, we shall welcome any actlon that the United States is prepared to take to secure justice we have no title to demand as a right that the United States should itself Tesort to the use of force. “I would, therefore, sum up the sit- uation by saying that if the United States thinks it proper to take further steps either on behalf of its own citi- zens or of a British subject we will gladly wait the result. “But if for reasons of its own the United States does not think it desir- able to take such steps, we must, of course, reserve to ourselves the right to secure reparation whenever it is in our power to do so. “The violent-death of a British sub- Jject and the refusal of those in Mex- ico to allow the circumstances to be investigated make it incumbent upon us to do what we can on our own be- half.” GAS COMPLAINTS JUSTIFIED Mine Manager Contends It Is Imprac- tocable to Ventllate Artificially. Houghton, Mich., March 4.—James MacNaughton, general manager of the Calumet and Hecla Mining com- pany, admitted before the congres- slonal striké inquiry that complaints of smoke and gas in some of the cop- per mines were justified. The gas came from blasting and the smoke from these explosions and miners’ lamps. “If a man becomes affected he is expected to go to the shaft rm- fresh air,” he said. Mr. MacNaughton contended it was impracticable to ventilate the mines artificially, because of the large num- ber of openings, but the natural ven- tilation was good except at the end of drifts. DEBATING OVER SUFFRAGE Advocates and Opponents Argue Be- fore House Committee, Washington, March 4—Woman suf- fragists and anti-suffragists engaged in another discussion before the house judiciary committee over the proposed constitutional amendment to enfranchise their ‘sex. “Why can’t you amend the Consti- tution so that in various states, on pe- tition of a certain number of voters, the people may have the ballott?” demanded Mrs. Antoinette Funk, who, with Mrs, Medill McCormick, was in oharge of the suffrage speakers.
