But, somehow, the girl never seemed
TO catch up with the wave of prosperity
that was always expected to come early

Yesterday afternoon she visited a mo-

535 East 14sth Street, where she saw
the filmed romance of a working GIRL
who found wealth, happiness and love
at the end of her troubles.
"It isn't so.' she said to Der brother

A few minutes later her relatives
heard a crash. The lifeless body OF the
girl was found in the cement covered
court. She had leaped SIX stories.

AMERICA SINCERE,
DERNBURG DECLARES

The Sussex was torpc-
doed contrary to assurances
given by the German govern
mcnt, and the proof ad-
duccd at least admits the
possibility that the American
claims that Germany is
responsible may be well
grounded, although the rep
resentations to America show
that it may have been due to
a mistake by the commander
rather than to bad intent.
The point to-day is that
America is convinced Of the
justice of her demands. That
nation has been seized with
an explosive sentiment only
paralleled by her feeling
prior to the Spanish War. -

Dublin. April % Cdelayed).-The
Sim Feiners had all the frills Of a
regular government. issuing passports,
printing newspaper and turning out
coinage. 1t is stated that help came
from Germany.
One Of the Feiners not mentioned in
yesterdays dispatch is J. T. Clark. an
old Fenian, who had a tobacco store
here. His place was a favorite rendez-
vous for the rebels. Il was under sus-
picion for long time. but there never
was evidence enough 70 satisfy the su-
thorities. James Connolly, one OF the
rebel leaders, issued passports 10 any
applicant and gave seven 10 friends at
the Catholic Club on Monday night.
They wanted 20 go 10 London. Appli-
cants decided soon that they were more
useful as souvenirs than as permits TO
enter the troops lines.
The republics newspaper was called
"The Latest War News" II was really
p pretentious affair, even carrying the
final bulletins OF the fighting. The re
suit Of the race meeting on Monday At
FARMHOUSE was carried. Every Nom
ber Of the republics cabinet had made
statement or given an interview,
showing that he realized the value Of
publicity.

By far the cleverest work of the Sim
Feiners was the development Of their

vantageous points.

Obregon Fears Public View.

From stray bits of information that
became known to-day IT appears that
yesterdays conference ended with the
question Of withdrawal of the United
States troops still uppermost in the
minds of the Mexican confcrrees.
They are understood 10 have tried 10
impress on the American represent
atives their claim that political condi-
tions IN Mexico are such that they
cannot he responsible for any eventu-
alities that may result from continued
occupation of Mexican soil by Ameri-
can columns. They are said also TO
have laid stress on the fact that the
position Of the Carranza government
would be extremely delicate If the ex-
peditionary movement were not ended.
In view Of the already expressed at
titude of the Americans that they were
unable 10 discuss any other question
than cooperation of the two armies in
dispensing the various bandit organi-
cations, the next step was 10 attempt
70 reach n basis on which both sides
might meet.
Washington's answer 70 the telegram
dispatched by Generals Scott and
Funston this morning is expected to
diyulge whether such a basis can be
established.
In some quarters tonight there was
a disposition 10 believe that the next
conference would deal with the ques-
tion of withdrawal, but that, so far as
the American conferrees are concerned.
the subject will be approached with re-
serve. 1t is pointed out that there has
been no disposition shown by the
American government TO consider the
mission Of General Pershing's columns
as having been ended.
In these circles it is argued that the
United States might consent TO relin-
quish the problem Of the Villa band q

ment, but that, pending successful
completion Of this task by the Car
rama forces, it would insist on a par

PRESIDENT FIRM
ON BANDIT CHASE
Believed He Will Insist on
Cooperation of Mex
leans in Pursuit.

FL Paso, Tex, April 30.-Mexican
and American conferrees over the
disposition of the American forces
in Mexico marked time to-day while
Generals Hugh i. Scott and Fred
erick Funston awaited word from
Washington as to the next step 10
be taken in the negotiations with
General Obregon.
The report of the American rep
resentatives on the first conference
went forward by wire early this
morning. On the answer of Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretaries Lansing
and Baker to its recommendations
depends the future status of the con-
ference.
In the meantime the following
facts developed.
That to date the apparent intention
Of the Washington government "a
keep General Pershings columns IN
Mcxico has not been changed.
Cooperation Idea Taken Jp.
That General Obregor in yesterday 5
conference served no sort OF notice on
Generals Scott and Funston that could
be construed as an ultimatum demand
ing immediate withdrawal.
That the desire Of the Mexican gov
eminent for withdrawal was again
stated, but that the only discussion
along this line was regarding the
advsablity of an American retirement.
That there was considerable discus
sion Of the possibility Of effective
American and Mexican cooperation in
the eradication OF scattered Villa
bandit groups.
That there is strong possibility
there will be only one more confer
ence held, that depending on the
wishes Of the Washington government.
That while the present negotiations
are proceeding shipments OF supplies
TO the American expeditions front arc
going forward uninterruptedly, among
other supplies leaving the Colum bus
base to-day being nine truckloads Of
ordnance.
