General Villa Reported
to Have Cremated Body
of British Subject

Washington, d. c., Feb. 26.-The
American government to-day was ex-
erting every influence at its disposal
to obtain from General Villa the sur
render of the body of William S. Ben
ton, the British subject recently exc
cuted at Juarez. No reply had been
received to the instructions sent to
Consul Letcher yesterday to find Ben
tons grave and Secretary Bryan was
surprised by news dispatches quoting
Villa as saying Benton was buried. in
Chihuahua City. There have been per-
sistent reports here, too, that the body
was cremated.
Secretary Bryan conferred with
President Wilson and said nothing new
in the situation had developed. Off
clal denial came from the White
House of one published report that
Rear Admiral Fletcher had recon-
mended the landing of marines at
Vera Cruz.
Attention was chiefly centered on
the Benton investigation and high Off
cials conceded that future develop
ments of the American policy toward
Mexico hinged largely on the outcome
OF the inquiry.
Test is Developed
Another feature of the situation
which loomed up as of commanding

test of Carranzas authority and in
f1uence as chief of the Constitutionalist
movement Every sort of pressure, Ii
is understood, Is being brought to bear
on Carranza, both by Americans and
Mexicans who have the confidence of
Washington officials, with the pur-
pose of impressing upon him the ne
cessity of a clear and convin ling ex-
planation of all the circumstances sur
rounding the death of Benton.
If Carranza cannot obtain that from
Villa, the power of the so-called first
chief of the Constitutionalists" will
fall in the estimation of the Washing
ton government.
CarranZa Favored
Officials here have for some time
been disposed to feel kindly toward
Carranza and favorable reports on his
character were transmitted to Presi-
dent Wilson by William Bayard Hale.
Should it develop. however, that Car
ranza is without control over Villa,
1t is more than probable that relations
with Carranza will be viewed by off,

Pleading for all men who believe in
the principles of the Republican party
to aid in its rejuvenation as genuine

declared that even If the Republican
party was at an end Il could never

people in Republic.
Mentions Trusts
Mr. Beveridge, who has spoken to
you eloquently and effectively, says
that trusts and monopolies are the
richest, ripest fruits of civilization.
He says in print that the beef mono
poly, the steel monopoly, and Stand
ard Oil monopoly and all monopolies
are the result of the combination of
genius and energy and of great bene-
fit to the people" These industrial
organizations, he says, (speaking par
ard Oil Company and the steel trust) i,
have steadied the whole commercial
world and have extended the period
of prosperity by the steadiness they
have given to the commercial ana A.
nancial world. More than that, he
says, they have actually caused, COM
PEELED the organization of labor on
modern lines.
Denounces Tarif Bill
II do not know just what he has
reference to by modern lines but
hardly presume he refers to the fact
that an investigation two years ago
disclosed that the steel trust worked
men twelve hours q day and seven
days in the week"
The charge that the courts stand in
the way of destroying monopoly, he
described as q "shambling, shifting,
cowardly pretense raised to conceal
the unwillingness to do what ought
to be done"
Senator Borah denounced. the DEM
ocratic tariff revision, declaring that
it had put the farmer on one trade
basis.

be used to any great extent.
The fact that it can usually be
obtained cheap is the chief JUST
fication for its general use. If
ground limestone costs over So. SO
a ton, laid down at or near the

should be advised to use it ex-

alfalfa, he can afford to use it on
small areas, at a somewhat high

a large number of legumes that
make good yields without appli-

HOW MUCH CAN WE AT.
FORD TO PAY FOR
GROUND LINES
TONE.

A Georgia reader says he can
not buy ground limestone for
half the cost of burned lime, but
understands that the ground
limestone is better and he wants
to know if he can afford to buy
the ground limestone and pay
more than half the cost of burn
ed lime. The experience OF re-
cent years seems to indicate that
ground limestone.is better than
burned lime for general use and
we would, therefore, rather
have two tons of ground lime
stone than one ton of burned
lime in nearly all cases, Or on
nearly all Southern soils. The
ground limestone is also more
convenient and pleasant to han
die and as indicated safer for
general application.
But we would not pay much
over half the price Of burned
lime for ground limestone. If
the ground limestone cannot be
laid down at or near the farm
for one-half the price Of burned
lime, we would, if we used lime
at all, buy burned lime, Stake it
and apply in rather small guam
titles. But ground limestone
should be laid down for less than
the usual price of burn
ed lime, and unless this can be
