TROLLEY LINES LIKELY T0 BE SOLD| s in Hands of Trustees—Probable Terms of Agreement Knowlton to Head the Boston and Maine Trustees. Washington, Feb 28—Arthough At~ torney General McReynolds, his assist- ants and officials of the New Haven rajiroad spent four hours today dis- cussing the Beston and Maine, it was said tonight that no announcement of the details of the agreement for the separation of the two roads could be expected before next week. Depart- ment of justice officials were authority for the statement that no serious ob- stacle has arisen to cast doubt upon final solution of the Boston and Maine problem, but that developments today were such that Chairman Elliott of the New Flaven desired to have another conference Wwith his board of direc- tors. Directors to Meet Tuesday. Mr. Elliott left for New York to- night and probably will not return to Washington until after the regular meeting of New Haven directors in New York next Tuesday. The law- yers for the road and T. W, Gregory and Jesse C. Adkins, the two atiorneys of fhe department handling the New Hayen case, continued their talk after his departure, but their discussion was confined largely to technicalities. It was sald tonight that there had been little discussion during the day of the personnel of the board of trus- tees which ‘Is to take over the Boston and Maine road. Knowlton to Head Board. It is genmerally conceded here that Marcus P. Knowlton, former justice of the Massachusetts supreme court, will be made chairman of this board, and that the four other trustees to he named will be New Englanders. The principal point for argument today was the length of time the trustees shall WON'T SEND MARINES INTO MEXI€O (Continusd frem Page One) aelf shot Benton and that there was no courtmartial. According to this new version, Ben- ton went to Villa’s office in Juarez and abruptly entered the latter’s quarters, without a formal invitation. Villa at onee reccgnized Benton as an old ene- my dating back to times prior to the insurrection,- and, slipping behind his visitor, barred the door. Benton, they say, did not reach for his hip pocket, or make any menacing motion, and neither did lie use abusive language mnor give uttérance to threats, but be- Zan to complain strongly about repeat- ed robberies on his ranch, and wanted o know ‘when he would be allowed to return to it without further molesta- tion. Then, according to this version, Vil- 71‘ pretending to walk to the door, siipped behind Benton and felt his hip pocket, in which he found a revolver. Holding Benton, he immediately called in his guards and placed him under arrest, charging him with attempted murder.. Benton was then locked in another room. Later he asked for a personal interview. In this talk, it is sald, Villa ‘claims that Benton con- fessed to him frankly that he had in- tended to do him harm and Villa then admitted that he ordered Benton shot at once. Apparently there was no courtmartial or trial. None was men- tioned by Villa, and his questioners did not ask him the direct question, believ- ing it disposed of by his statement that he himself had ordered Benton's execution. This version of the shooting was obtained from Villa only after the ex- ertion upon him of persistent pressurc from various quarters to tell the truth. TEXAS GOVERNOR HOT.” Wants Consent to Send Rangers Across Mexican Border. Austin, Tex. Feb. 26.—A request to know “whom the United States go ernment now recognizes as the consti- tuted authority in Mexican states bor- dering on the Rio Grande” went for- ward late today to President Wilson from Governor O. B. Colquitt of Texas. ; The request was made for the purpose | of demanding the surrender of the “ab- | ductors and murderers” of Clemente Vergara, g Texas citizen, executed by | Mexican federals. Then, apperently answering the| ‘question himself, the governor asked consent of the United States, “in view of the condition of revolution and an- AT in" these border states,” to send rangers across the Rio Grande in pur- | #uit of lawless elements of either fac- ' tion when' they cross into Texas znd‘ commit crimes. “I insist, M!'. President, that Texal as a sovereign state is entitled to the | protection of Texas citizens' on the | border from an unbearable condition ! like that which now exists,” conduded‘ the message. Eariler in the day Governor Culquitt had put in motion an investigation of the Vergara incident through state channels. The first result was mnfor- | mation from the Webb county records | asserting positively that the island where Vergara is said to have been | seized belongs to Texas. ° BRYAN TO COLQUITT. Texas Governor Told That' Federal i is Involved, Washington, TFeb. 26. — Secretary Yryan tonight telegraphed Governor Colquitt of Texas that the sending of the state militla into Mexico to appre- hend those responsible for the hanging of Clements Vergara, an American citizen, would involve a responsibility which the federal government alone was in a position to assume. The gov- ernor had inguired whether the federal |' sovernment had any objections to the sending by the nate of a force to ar- rest the slayers of Vengara. Secretary | Bryan replied that e Washington | gsovernment was doing all that could ‘be done to secure the arrest and pun- ishment of the offend: A similar situation arose in Texas in February, 1912, and February, 1913, when border troubles caused Governor Colquitt to declare he might send Tex. as rangers into Mexico either to pre- vent firing into American territory or to protect Americans. When on Feb. 24, 1918, Governor Colquitt ordered four companies of militia to Browns- ville, the war department telegraphed serve and the interpretation that is to be placed on the Massachusetits statute under which that commonwealth has the right to acquire the Boston and Maine. The raiiroad officials were anxious to have the trustees serye for at least five years, but the department felt thal two years would be sufficient for the disposition, without loss to the New Haven, of the Boston and Maine stock. 'The Boston and Maine stock con- trolled by the New Haven is actually in the hands of the Boston railroad holding company, which in turn is con- trolled by the New Haven. Governor Walsh, who participated -in former conferenccs here, argued that the state of Massachusetts should have the right to obtain control of the holding com- yany and through it of the Boston and Haine at any time, The law at present allows the state to obtain control within tweive month: The railroad cfiicials were said tonight to have ob- jected to such a proposal. Mr. Eiliott 1s expected to put these questions be- fore his directors next week, if he is not- able to reach them before that time. " rolleys and Steamships Also Consid- ered. It became known tonight that while he conferences have been devoted a1gely to the Boston and Maine, thers bus been some discussion also by the lawyers as to how the New Haven is| te “dispose of 1its trolley lines and - leamship. properties. Apparently there 15 little doubt that the plan of appoint- g trustees will be adopted for steam p ‘companies, but it has been sug- ted - that the trolley lines may be told outright. and’ Carothers and Consul Edwards at Juarer. - Both stated tonight that they were wilhout direct information as ml the status of negotiations. The British representative, Charles Perceval, arrived here tonight from veston. Perceval, it is said, will first confer with General Hugh L.

Villa Paid High Mark of Respect to Body of Benton, Chihuahua, Feb, 26.—Supplementary conference betwzen General Villa and Marion Letcher, the American consul, was held today about the examination of the body of William S. Benton. General Villa agreed that an ex- amining commission would be received here and that it should consist of two American and two British representa- tives and a medical examiner. *“I will provide a special train for | the use of the commission and the { physician will be allowed to make the | closest sclentific diagnosis of the num ber and nature of Benton's wounds, said the rebel chief. “I think, how- ever, that it would be improper for the body to be removed from this place, to which I brought it last Fri- day on my special train in order that it might be fittingly interred in the most honored cemetery in the state of Chihuahua.” CARR;?E:;LENT. Refuses to Discuss the Execution of William Benton. Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, Feb. 26.— General Venustiano Carranza, leader of the constitutionalists, who' arrived | here today, refused to discuss the case of William Benton, the British sub- | ject, who was executed in Ciudad | Juarez by order of General Villa. ‘Why should I tell what I am going | to do?” was the query with which he blocked questions as to what action he would take in the case. General Carranza said that, accord- ing to the official report to him, Ben- ton’s death was the result of an at- tempt he had made on the life of Gen- eral Villa. It was lared that he had been tried legally and sentenced to death. The reasons for General Vil- | la’s tardy report of the case were not made known.

TRONEARDY €O Buttaior N ¥ e boau) | ~ A Simple Remedy to Correct Consti- ‘pation Before it Becomes : Chronie. - ; Very few people go through life with- out some time or other being troubled ‘with constipation. Thousands injure themselves by the use of strong ca- thartics, salts, mineral waters, pills and similar things. Théy have tem- porary value in some cases, it is true, but the good effect is soon lost, and the more one takes of them the less effective they become. 4 A physic or purgative is seldom necessary, and much better and more permanent results can be obtained by | using a scientific remedy like Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It does not hide behind a high sounding name, but what it is represented to be, a mild laxative medicine. It is so mild that thousands of mothers give it to tiny Infants, and yet it is so compounded, and contains such definite ingredients that it will have equally good effect Wwhen used by a person suffering from the worst chronic constipation. In fact, among the greatest endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are eolderly people who have suffered for years and found nothing to benefit them until they took Syrup Pepsin. It is a fact that millions of families have Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin con_ | stantly ia the house, homes like those | of Mr. H. W. Feus!arma.ker Siegfried, Pa. He says he has had wonderful results from the use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, that, in fact, he has never found a remedy so good, and he is glad t6 recommend it. The special value of this xra.nd laxative tonic is MR. H. W. FENSTERMAKER that it is suited to the needs of ev.ry member of the family. It is pleasant- tasting, mild and non-griping. Unlike barsh physics, it works gradually in a very brief time the stomach = bowel muscles are trained to Go their work naturally again, when all medi- cines can be dispensed with. You can obtain a bottle at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar. The latter size is usually bought by fam- ilies who already know its value.
