Washington, Feb. 26.-A final at
tempt to force Francisco Villa to sur
render the body of William S. Benton,
British ranchman, slain by his orders,
Is being made. On its success or fail
ure, it is said, hinged tho policy Of
the Wilson administration.
The refusal of Villa to turn the
body over to Mrs. Benton 80 that an
autopsy could be held has greatly
aroused Great Britain, according to
reports here.
Secretary of State Bryan was at
his desk good part of the night
There was no doubt that he was wor-
ried over the immediate developments,
but he positively declined to comment
In any manner on Villas defiant atti-
tude. After perusing the message
from Consul Letcher at chihuahua,
saying that Villa would let Mrs. Ben
ton look st her dead husbands face,
but would immediately RENTER the
body, Bryan sent new instructions to
the border. These are said to be a
renewed demand that Villa turn Ben
toms dead body over at once.
