tended the meeting of Southern bank
ers in Galveston, Tex. returned home
enthusiastic over results accomplished
at the meeting.
Representative bankers from eight
cotton growing states pledged them
selves to stand behind the producers
in an effort to secure a fair and uni

were pledged the support of the four

money to the farmers on cotton secur-
tiles and the federal reserve banks
representatives agreed to rediscount
this paper. Thus they hope to offer

instantly absorb.

That the committee appointed by

decided which of the prisoners, if any,
will be recommended for pardons in
the report to be made to Governor
Hays, was the statement made by
Former Governor George w. Dona-
ghey, member of the committee.
Statements that the committee
will recommend certain of the prison
ers for pardons and giving the names
of the prisoners, are merely presump-
tons, for the committee has not even
discussed what recommendations will
be made" he said.
Mr.. Donaghey said the committee
will have nothing to say concerning
the investigation or the report to be
submitted to the governor. Any in
formation about the findings of the
committee will come from the office
of the governor after he has received

Garmnn quarters here. where it
was believed an understanding
on submarine warfare satisfac-
tory to both Germany and the
United States could be evolved.
That task, however, it is realized
as a difficult one, because the
feeling among German officials
and people, according to reliable
advice> here has been that the
American government was seek
ing to deprive Germany of its
chief weapon Of offense-the sub
marine.

with all members practically
agreed that the United States can
not consider the German reply
responsive and must insist before

to Germany today and laid it be-
fore the Ca binet. 1t Probably
will be dispatched TO Berlin to-
night or tomorrow.
No arrangements have been
made as to when it will be made
public.
White House officials said to-
day that while the President had
penned the note himself he had
consulted with Secretary Bryan
over the principles and the de.
tails. He also has been in con-
stant communication with Coun-
sellor Lansing and with Attorney
General Gregory who Investigate
cd affidavits that the Lusitania
carried guns. The government
is convinced there is no gound
for that contention and the note
will so inform Germany.
Counsellor Lansing as the Pres,
ident's chief advisor on questions
of international law, sat in to-
days cabinet meeting. Previ-
ously he only attended in the abb
sence Of Secretary Bryan.
All the cabinet members re-
fused to discuss the new note as
they entered the meeting.
