Attention Of This Country Is Now
Drawn to the Killing Of Ver.
CARA and Bauch

Washington, March 4 4.-The pro-
jected expedition of special COM
mission into Mexico to examine the
body of William S. Benton will
probably be abandoned as two de-
velopments yesterday seemed to clear
away the necessity which prompted
the appointment or the commission
These were the determination of
General carranza to undertake the
investigation Of the incident and the
announcement of Great Britain that
she did not look to the United States
to push the matter. This apparently
puts this government in the attitude
Of patient waiting. Attention here
therefore turned today to the report
ed murder of Clerente Vergara and
Gustav Bauch, Americans in Mexico.
1t is said that reports from Mexican
authorities on these cases will be
awaited before additional steps are
taken here.

POSSIBILITY OF AN
AMERICAN REVOLUTION

Washington, March 4 Startling
suggestions of the possibility of rev.
olution in the United States are
pointed out, and the adoption of a
resolution for constitutional
amendment to fix the second Mon
day in January following a national
election for the date of the inaugu-
ration. Under the present provision
of the constitution in the event the
House fails to choose president be-
fore this date, March 4, the vice
president then in office becomes
president for four years. This affords
great temptation, by mere delay,
to defeat the will OF the people, and
if it is exercised it will likely pro-
duce a revolution.
