Further Request
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, EL C., Feb. 25.—Addi-
tional requests for an investiagtion
into Benton's death were made by
WTashington officials today. Upon re-
ceiving a telegram from Consul
ILetcher at Chihuahua that the widow
and relatives could visit the cemetery
with the American representative to
see the bod)- exhumed at Juarez,
Washington forwarded a request that
the body be turned over to the widow
on American soil. General Carranza
is expected in Juarez within a week, I
and it is reported he will make an in-
Fj vestigation of his own.
law. .Less than half of those who
registered turned out to the polls.
Bad weather was undoubtedly partly
the cause. Seven Chicago women
were nominated for aldermen. They
had no opposition. Three of them
were progressives, four socialises.
The two women candidates here for
aldermen on the democratic ticket
were defeated.

gist, - whose works on his scientific views of the origin of life have
made him famous, has reached the age of eight)-. He was born Feb.

we would be better off without it. But
I don’t think it would hurt much if

the balance, and trying to judge his
real value, I’m willing to forget some
of these things. We will always find,
