WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Consular Agent George C. Carothers. at Jua- reg, telegraphed Secretary Bryan to- night that General Villa had notified him he will not surrender the body of William Benton at this time, but would turn it over to the United States at some later date, with an additional statement concerning Ben- tons death.
 With a promise received tonight bv Secretary Bryan from General Villa that the body of William ;. Benton. a British subject, would soon be exhumed and turned over to the American officials for examination, the Washington government consid- cred that the first important step had been accomplished in its inves- tigation of the recent execution at Juarez which has focused the eyes of the world anew on the Mexican situation.
 From the character of the wounds discovered on Benton's body the phy- sicians will be able to say whether Benton was killed by pistol shot. as his friends assert, or by the firing squad, as Villa asserts. It is admit ted generally in official circles that such an examination will be of great value in either affirming or disprov- ing the important point in the gener- al explanation of the affair made by Villa.
 The developments were many in the situation that has arisen out ot the killing of Benton Secretary Bryan asked the consular agent at Nogales to confer with General Car ranza about the affair The secre.. tary talked with Acting ChairWapl Shively of the senate foreign teh-' tions committee and then with tTesi-, dent Wilson.

Departure for Washington Tonight of Arizona Cat tlemen to Appear Before House Committee In Sup port of Leasing Measure

In the wires recently received by Dwight B. Heard from Congressman Kent of California and Congressman Hayden. the import::sit news was giv- eli that d hearing before the Public Lands committee of the house on the merits of the Kent bill providing for the leasing under federal control, Of the public grazing lands of the west, will commence on March 5rd. Mr. Heard has been asked, as first Vice-president of the American Ma tiOnal Live Stock association, to ap- pear before the committee on behalf of the association and has also ar ranged with Chas. Mullen, president of the Arizona Cattle Growers as sociation, for the appearance before the committee of a number of thoroughly representative stOckmen of this state. including MT Mullen. also W. W. Cook, E. H. Crabb who has had large experience both on the public grazing lands and within the Ia tional forests, and Levi Young whose interests both in sheep and l unusually valuable testimony.
 | In correspondence which MT. Heard | has received from Washington it is evident that the administration is now looking with considerable favor on the Kent bill as public sentiment | generally seems to recognlZe that this measure. while probably not perfect
 will result in a great improvement over present conditions. Many prom inent sheep men on the western ranges, who have previously bitterly
 opposed a leasing law. now frankly approve the principles of a leasing law but insist that they want tC know the details of the adminlstra
 tion of such a law, particularly as
 to the cost involved.
 The history of the formation ol

AN EXAMINATION
 OF THE WOUNDS
It Is Said This Will Deter mine Whether He Faced Firing Squad Or Was Shot Down With Villas Pistol

WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.-Just
 what General Villa proposes to
 do about the request of the
 United States government that
 he deliver the body of Benton. a
 British subject executed by Villa
 at Juarez, was apparently open
 to question late tonight. Early
 in the evening Secretary Bryan
 had accepted a message from the constitutionalist chief to Consular
 Agent Carothers at Juarez as
 promise that the body would be
 turned over to the American authorities as soon as the matter
 could be arranged.
 This message was translated to read that the body would be de- livered but not at this time"
 Just before midnight the state
 department officials made this public announcement:
 The American consul at Chi
 huahua reports that Villa de- clines to deliver Benton's body but will permit the widow or relatives to visit the cemetery
 with American representatives. and that for their benefit he will order the exhumation of the body f which must then be re-interred in the grave from which it was removed"
 General Villa is now in Chi huahua, and it is supposed the consul there has been in personal communication with him. The consul will be asked for further
 details of the reply tomorrow.

the bank The Verde water was the checking account and the Roosevelt the savings account laid away for stressful time Experience has taugflt the valley irrigators, he said, that 40 or 45 per cent. of the water used in the valley for irrigation comes from the Verde. He believed that with a reservoir on the Verde there would still be enough water originate below the dam, as below the dam on the Salt, which, taken with the continual use of the Verde flood waters, would be almost suffi- cient for the use of the entire val ley here for the regular work, leav- ing the Roosevelt asset unimpaired.
 J. w. Walker said he believed the men of Phoenix should get behind the matter with a vim and push it to conclusion. The prosperity of Phoenix depended upon the prosper ity of the valley, and when that was increased or made more stable, the city was that much better off. He was heartily for the proposition. Roy Goodrich gave a short history of the surveys that had been made on the Verde and the probable cost of the proposed dam. He thought that it could be constructed for s500,OO0 A representative of the Paradise Valley settlers spoke in be- half of the assistance they needed and asked for share in the water. Mir Heard said that it might be after the project is completed that more than enough water is found for the use of this valley, in which case he had no doubt that some equitable means of distributing it would be arrived at which would be satisfactory to all concerned. An other delegate from Paradise valley spoke, after which Director Ormsby moved that the meeting go into ex- ecutve session.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

TRINIDAD, Feb. 24.-The United Mine Workers of America today closed their case, as far as the Trinidad ses- sion of the congressional Investigating committee Is concerned. The closing of the case came at the end of a day in which testimony relative to alleged political corruption in Las Animas and Huerfano counties was presented. Charges of political and personal mo- tives in the presentation of testimony were freely made and hotly denied. Testimony in support of the charges of the miners that the elections in the counties mentioned had been in fluenced by the operators was given by w. A. Garner, Dr. B. B. Beshear and J. U Virgil.
 The executive order of Gov. Ammons prohibiting the importation of strike breakers into the coal fields and it's subsequent withdrawal, were touched upon today.
 F. P. Costigan, examining J. R. Copeland, who Was formerly employed as immigration agent of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, sought to se- cure an admission that the withdrawal order was made to aid the immigration project in which Copeland and the Jop- lin, Mo. firm of Price X O'Nein were interested The witness denied that knowledge of any such element had in- fIuenced the governors action.
 The committee advised that the gov ernor appear in person to tell why he lifted the ban.
 The question of the alleged political activity of the large coal companies was brought up by Garner. who is a veteran of the civil war He told the committee that he had known of men employed by the coal companies work ing for certain candidates.
 There were repeated clashes of coun sel over the admissibility of this evil dence and after hearing arguments. the committee decided to bar all testimony as to the alleged interference of the coal companies in local and state cleo tions but to admit evidence regarding their alleged activity in the selection of juries and prosecuting officers
