CARRANZA bARES HIS Teeth At THE us; VILLA
NVT|MATES He KNOWS THAT bAUCH IS NOT ALIVE
Location of Body
Remains Mystery

Chihuahua,l Mex. March g.
General Villa today indicated his
belief that Gustav Bauch is dead,
when he said that Bauch, an
American, was liberated at Juarez
and doubtless was assassinated
by some of his enemies
Villa said Bauch had many en-
emies and added "of course !
can't be held - blame for that"
General Villa said today that the
orders delaying the Benton inves'
tigating committee, which was
halted at Juarez yesterday, were
issued by General Carranza, who
has determined to handle all dip
lomatic subjects himself.
Persons in a position to obtain
reliable information expressed the
opinion today that the body OF
William S. Benton. If it is buried
here, will have been too long IN
the ground to disclose much to the
commission which is to examine it.
, It haaSbeen hinted in official cir
cIes that the body has probably
been subjected to some chemical
action to obIiterate evidence.
If General Villa knows where
the body is buried he has not yet
told any one: Why the body was
brought so far from the border and
when and how it was buried. are
subjects upon which Villa refused
to talk. None Of the foreign con-
suIs have been able to learn the
whereabouts Of the grave. The
Pantheon de Ia Regar, where
Villa says the body was inferred,
is about two blocks from the Uni
ted States consulate and only one
block from Villas residence. 'tis
: one OF the most conspicuous spots
In the city. Two or three heaps
of gravel are the only evidence Of
freshly dug earth and one Of these
is the grave Of Abraham Gonzales,
former governor who was executed
by order of Huerta, and whose
body was recently placed in the
cemetery. An attendant at the
Grave yard said no other burials
had taken place there since Villa
returned from Juarez or at least it
there had been any burial they had
not taken place in the regular way.

their way to their destination.
In the waiting rooms were hundreds
of persons waiting for the resumption
of traffic. Lunch rooms and dining
halls were kept open all night for their
accommodation.
Trains on the New York Central
lines Jared but little better. Points up
state could not be reached by wire
early today and the whereabouts of
several incoming mail and passenger
trains could not be learned. Among
other trains reported lost was the
Twentieth Century limited. Albany and
Buffalo were out of communication and
New York Central trains between
these points were reported lost. The
storm put nearly every wireless sta
ton along the coast here about out of
commission and after six o'clock last
night communication with ships at sea
was impossible. The aerials Of the
stations were so crippled with sleet
and snow as to render them use ess,
it was reported.
Towns in Darkness.
In New Jersey where the force OF
the storm was most severe, many
towns, including Trenton, Newark, Jer-
sey City and Hoboken, were in dark
ness last night as the result Of feed
wires breaking under the weight OF wet
snow
The storm held up liners in the outer
harbor all night. Two barges sank off
Governors island. Both had been torn
from their moorings by the gale.

Supreme Rebel Chief Halts
Expedition Sent Out to

REFUGEES IN WILD
STATE OF ANXIETY
Believe That Decomposition
Will Prevent Success
Of Medical Test

FL Paso, Texas, March 2.-The per-
emptory halting of the Benton investi-
eating commission as it was about to
take a train; the sudden appearance
in this city of Marion Letcher, Ameri-
can consul at Chihuhua today and Cen
eral Villas admission of his opinion
that Gustave Bauch, an American,
was murdered by his enemies" has
thrown the refugee colony here into a
high state of excitement and anxiety.
Letcher came upon a special train
and at once went into conference with
Zach l.. Cobb, collector Of customs and
closely identified with Secretary Bryan
iii Texas politics and with Geo. G.
CarOthers, special agent Of the state
department.
kilograms to Washington were dis
patched but their contents were not
made known here Members Of the in
vestigating commission did not know
whether they were to proceed to Chi
huanua or not
They have only slight hope that
such mission would be productive
OF evidence as to the manner OF Ben
tons death for belief is general that
If the body is not in an advanced stage
of decomposition it has been mutilated
by quick lime or some other chemical.
Letcher's train was held at Juarez,
ready for his own use for the return
trip and to take the Benton commis-
sion IL 1t il Determined that this part
OF the program shall be carried out.
L r +
MI. Letcher who will act as adviser
to the commission expected to return
to Chihuahua on the special train, but
the exact time of his return, he learned
on his arrival, would depend upon con-
tingencies that might arise after con-
ference with the commissioners. 1t
was the plan on arriving at Chihuahua
to 20 at once to the cemetery where
Villa says Benton's body is buried. At
ter the body is examined by the two
United States army surgeons in the
presence of the American and British
representative, the commission with
out making it's findings known will re-
turn to Ell Paso to formulate its report.
II am simply acting as an escort to
the commission to give them every
facility for making the examination,
said Consul Letcher.
Have you seen the grave where
Benton's body is supposed to be
buried?" he was asked.
mo, | have only Villas word that
it is buried in the Pantheon de La Reg
la. The grave has not been pointed
out to me-
One Witness Testifies.
The testimony of one witness al
ready has been taken at Chihuahua by
the British vice consul. 1t will be
presented to the commission. The
witness said he accompanied Benton
from Ell Paso on the street car to
Juarez the day the British subject was
executed. The gist of the testimony
was that Benton made no threats
against Villas life but on the contrary,
was sick that day and announced he
merely was going to ask Villa for in
formation regarding his ranch, the use
of which he had been deprived Of by
the rebels. #@
