two years later Kennedy Was hung by
the United gtates military authorities at
Now York because of his complicity in a
riot to set fire to that city,
"What was Justifiable under martial
law in the United States then Is certainly
Justifiable nder martial law In Mexico
now. Tho fact that Benton was a British
subject has no- bearing on tho legal
aspects of tho case, as under Interna
tional 'law the nllen Is as amenable to
martial law ;aa la a, cltlsoiu'i
The British ambassador has transmitted
to .his government without comment tho
Information from Secretary Bryan that
Benton was executed by decrco of a
court-martial, and as far as con bo
learned tho embassy here will tako no
further action In the case pending tho
receipt of Instructions from the foreign
office or some communication from tho
State department calling for an answer.
BfUTISIt PRESS MAKES COMMENT
Standard and Olobo Hint at Interna-
tlonnl Action.
IjONDON. Fob. 2L-Tho British govern
ment up to noon today had not taken
any action In regard to the execution nt
Juarex of William S. Benton, the Scot
tish ranchman, beyond Instructing Sir
Cocll Spring-nice, British ambassador at
Washington, to obtain from Secretary
Bryan all possible Information on tho
affair.
Although tho tragedy has created a sen
sation throughout tho British Isles, It
has not aroused any disposition on tho
part of responsible members of the Brit
ish government to change their policy in
regard to Mexico.
The members of the British government
consider that tho recognition of the con
stitutionalists as belligerents would bo
a mistake.
Tho Evening Standard sayst
"The execution of Benton emphasises
the fact that some kind of international
compulsion will soon bo necessary to stop
Mexico from wallowing In this sty of
corruption and cruelty."
The qtobe, after asking what is going
to happen In cos investigation proves
tho guilt of Villa, says:
"Tho United States has not only the
responsibility involved In Its assertion
of the Monroe doctrine, but the respon
sibility of having supplied Villa and the
rebels with arms, thereby promoting the
lawlessness! which has had such serious
results for British lives and interests.
President Wilson has gone too far to
shrink from going farther."

MEXICO CITY, Feb. a.-Tho story of

HAWKEYE MOOSERS
PROGRESS BACKWARD
, .(Continued fronj Page One.)
Oenco the bull moosers havo themselves
been furnishing as to their motives and
plans. They havo an arrangement io
that hero at tho state capital, at least,
they havo a well recognised organ of
publicity through which thoy seek to
reach tho people. They havo been well
supplied with funds from some sourco
and aro able to get abundant newspaper
space, which they uso without stint
Thslr first conference, tho ono In Jan
uary, was addressed by two or throo
stato leaders and by two men from New
York City, two from Illinois, ono from
uoioraoo and some other outsiders. It
did not escape attontlon that each and
every ono of thoso except ono of tho
state leaders dealt almost entirely with
tho alleged defection of Senator Cum
mins from progresslvelsm, and they all
with ono accord berated him, ridiculed
him, colled in question his sincerity and
moro than ono Indulged In gross misrep
resentations of him. Tho ono who didn't
attack him is an avowed candidate for
tho hull moose nomination for tho sonate.
February Conference Secret.
Then came tho February "conference."
which was not general, but was secret
and not publlo and onlySroch Informa
tion got out as was given to tho bull
moose organ hero by authority. It was
in fact a meeting of an eastern commit
tee of tho party. One O. IC. Davis came
direct from New York City to handle the
meeting. Ho as "secretary of tho na
tional progressive committee" and Wal
ter Brown, advertised as a "national or
ganiser," were most conspicuous.
But the first announcement which came
from tho conference, by authority, and
was heralded as a decision, was this;
'The candidate to be brought out by
the progressives against Senator Cum
mins was discussed yesterday to some
extent, but the choice of tho man wilt bo
left entirely to the Iowa committee."
Then there was another day of confer
ences, so they announced, though they
were held In a law office and In secret,
and they nnnounced through their chosen
avenue of publicity as follows:
"Tho conference over the selection of
candidates for tho chief places on tho
progressive ticket, It was rumored, failed
of definite results. National leaders were
concerned, according to tho report, in se
curing if possible a strong former pro
gressive republican to enter the race for
the progressive nomination for senator.
With such a man nominated tho hop of
beating Senator Cummins would bo much
moro conorete than lt now appears that
It will be."
Then the conferees packed their grips
and went back to New York City to re
port It was following this Just a few
days that the slump oocurred In tho Sec
ond district, since which nothing has
been heard.
War Fight Cummins Onlrt
But accepting the record as they them
selves wero making It, or at least V
they wero announcing it some pointed
queitlo'ns wero being asked as to what
It all meant A friend of Senator Cum
mins analyses it this way:
"Why such concern tor a candidate

against tho democrntlo nominee, whoever
ho may bo? Why not to oppose the two
or three other minor party candidates?
Is it to bo inferred that the bull moose

alone. Is In fact for his democraila op
ponent who probably alono will havo tho
remotest chance of election If Cummlas
should foil?
"Then why should these "Wall street
emissaries be so very desirous of a can
didate 'against Cummins' who Is a for
mer progressive republican? Why not one
who Is a former progressive democrat?
That would look as If the sole nurnose
is to take votes away from Cummins
and to avoid, It possible, taking them

It Is a fact oa olose observers havo con
cluded, that tho flpld for proselytln? is
better among tho 'progressive democrats'
Just now than among tho 'progressive

doal closer to Cummins than tho former
will stick to the kind of a man the dem
ocratic machine will pick to opposa Cum
mins." Tho fact seems to be that by their
own profession, tho organizers of tho bull

at least have In mind that all they want

Ames scored her only field basket In

yesterday which was Nebraska's, 15 to 9.
Every Nebraska man had a part In the
scoring oxcept that Rutherford did not
scoro today.
Nebraska simply had It on Ames both
In tho agresslve and defensive phases of
the game. The Cornhuskers played a
high grade of basket ball, but It was not
so high buy tho Cyclones could have
done a lot more scoring If they could
have mustered the speed displayed

Nebraska outdrlbbled and out passed
