NEGOTIATIONS SATISFACTORY.

Washington, D. G., May !. AFTER an
exchange of messages between Gen.
Scott and the war department on his
conference Saturday with Gen. Obre-
gon, Mexican minister Of war, officials
said today the negotiations up to date
have been satisfactory" While Gen.
Obregon has urged that the American
troops be withdrawn, President Wilson
they said, has no intention of granting
the request at present and Is hopeful
that an agreement will be reached for
cooperation between American and
Mexican troops In the pursuit Of Villa,
and other bandits.
Final proposals have not yet been
reported in the border conferences, 1t
was authoritatively stated at the war
department. A long code dispatch from
Gen. Scott arrived early today. Secre.
tary Baker of the war department ex.
pected to send supplementary advices
to Gen. Scott, to reach him II possible
before his second conference with Gen.
Obregon. W..
While 1t was officially admitted that
Gen. Obregon had suggested" with.
drawal from Mexico of the U. s. expe.
dition, officials said these overtures
had not been in the form of a demand
and that no peremptory or unalterable
position had been taken by either side.
Gen. Scott, 1T was explained, had made
counter suggestions to Gen. Obregon
proposing cooperative military meas
ures.

GERMAN ATTACK AT
VERDUN REPULSED
Paris Claims That Many of
Foes Fell in Assaults
on Dead Man Hill

Dublin, Sunday evening April 30 (via
London, May 1.)-Rebels of the rank
and file followed the example of their
leaders this morning and confessed the
cause Of the Irish republic was lost by
laying down their arms at the foot OF
the Parnell monument in Sackville
street and surrendering to British
troops. About $50 Of them who had
fought since Monday in this central
area marched out from their strong.
holds under the white flag and gave
themselves up. A few irreconcilables
continued sniping from lairs, difficult
to locate, on roofs or among rafters Of
buildings nearby.
Soon afterward q rebel lieutenant
came in with guard of ten men from
the adjoining county Of Meath to learn
the truth about rlmors of general
surrender. The party learned from J.
H. Pearce, who was named provisional
president of the Irish republic, that the
movement had collapsed. The lieuten.
ant and his escort then started out to
parley with the rebels in the country
districts in an effort to induce them
to lay down their arms.
James Connolly, one of the leaders
of the uprising, Is said by government
officials to be prisoner, wounded, in
the castle.

WAR SUMMARY.


The Germans have renewed their
aggressive in force northwest of Ver-
dun, delivering massed attack on the
positions recently captured by the
French, north of Dead Man hifl~-a
counter attacking also a trench they
had lost north Of Cumieres. In both
cases the assailants we're repulsed,
Paris declares, their masses being
moved down in large numbers in the
Dead Man hill assault.
Indications that further German ef-
forts are impending are furnished by
announcement that hill 80, west of the
Meuse, and positions In the Vaux sec
tor, northeast of Verdun, are being in
cessantly bombarded.
Unohicial advices from Constantine
ople say that the Turks estimate at
10000 men the losses of the British
during March and April in Meso-
potamia, where Gen. Townshend last
week was forced to surrender his be-
leaguered army of some 10000 men at
Kut- -El-Amara on the Tigris.

Washington, D. c., May 1.-Addi
tional instructions sent to Gen. Scott
and Gen. Funston today by Secretary
Baker after conference with President
Wilson and with Secretary Lansing
are understood to make plain that
whatever is agreed upon at the con
ference with Gen. Obregon, Gen. Car
ranza's minister of war, must not be
based on any immediate recall Of Gen
Pershing's forces.
Gen. Scott probably will point out
to the Carranza war minister that the
de facto government is threatened by
factional enemies within it's own Dor.
ders who would welcome an oppor
tunity to rise against it. If the Unit,
ed States were compelled to. go into
Mexico In considerable force to make
certain the security Of its own border
against bandit raids, that opportunity
might be prevented.
While no demands have been pre-.
sented by either side, 1t is understood,
however, that Gen. Obregon laid such
stress upon the withdrawal of the
American forces that Gen. Scott felt
unable to proceed until he had ad'
vised the administration officials.

MONKEYS MAY
SAVE CHILDREN

Thoroughly alarmed by the spread
of infantile paralysis among the
children of New York city and the
peril Of its attacking children Of
other communities (others have
already been affected the federal
authorities offeren to the city the
aid Of the federal health service.
DR.. Haven Emerson, city health
commissioner, asked the acting sur
geon-general to obtain, if possible,
the release for shipment to the
United States Of 100 monkeys in the
Philippines. In its efforts to solve
the all important problem Of how
infantile paralysis is carried" the
department Of health and CO.
operating research agencies are Sc
riously embarrassed by a shortage
Of monkeys. The monkey is the
only animal upon which tests to
Identify the mediums Of communi-
cation Of the disease can be made.
The Rockefeller institute, however,
which was established by John D.
Rockefeller to fight infantile paraly-
sis after his young grandson died Of
the disease, has 100 monkeys col
lected in the PHILIPPINES ready for
shipment. Because Of disease among
animals on the islands there has
been an embargo upon their expor-
tation. This is why the monkeys
have not come to New York. If
the efforts of the public health SER
vice are successful in having the
embargo raised, so far as the mon
keys are concerned, although the
animals will not arrive for some
weeks, DR.. Emerson believe that the
scientists Of the Federal govern
ment, of the Rockefeller institute
and other research bodies will be
able to make headway in solving
the problem of who and what are
the most dangerous carriers" of in
fantile paralysis.

INFANT SCOURGE
In TENNESSEE

Inquiries at the state board OF
health yesterday in reference to the
infantile paralysis situation in Ten
nessee brought the information that
only II cases had been officially re-
ported to the board of June. OF
these seven were reported from
Crockett county and four in Lauder
dale county. These cases were re-
ported the latter part Of June.
The report from Crockett county
indicated that five Of these cases
were at Alamo, or near there, two
being reported from widely differ
ent sections in the county. The
four cases reported from Lauder
dale county were said to be at and
near Ripley.
An unofficial report from Dyer
county,, received Wednesday, was to
the effect that several cases of the
disease had been diagnosed at or
near Yorkville, in that county. A
few scattering cases have been re-
ported from Gibson county, two at
Trenton.
Speaking Of this matter today
Dr.. Il. II. Shoulders OF the state
board Of health said that he had no
doubt that scattering cases of the
disease were to be found in other
West Tennessee counties, as well as
in other parts Of the state, as dur
ing the summer months infantile
paralysis might be looked for in
sporadic form not only in Tennes-
see but in all states. DR.. Should
ers said the medical profession
knows little or nothing about the
disease, but that it had been known
in this state for forty years. He
said that no cases had been report
ed to the department from Nash
vile and that he did not look for
any. epidemic of the disease any
where in Tennessee. He said that
the department knew of no effec-
tive preventive measures, but sug-
gested that sanitation was helpful
in all diseases and that people
should see that their premises are
kept free from filth and their houses
free of flies.

FARMERS VISIT
WEST TENNES=
SEE STATION

Last Friday, the 14th inst, was
the date of Henderson county farm
ers' visit to the West Tennessee
Agricultural Experiment Station
near Jackson. A special train made
up at Mckenzie was scheduled to
reach Lexington at $50 in the
morning, but was a little late, and
when Lexington was reached, with
seven coaches in the train, there
were not seats enough for the ad-
ditional number Of passengers taken
on. Prof. H. A. Powers, agricul-
tural agent for Henderson county,
says the entire delegation from this
county probably numbered $50, as
he secured the names Of about $50
on cards.
Ihe jackson street cars now run
to the border Of the Experiment
station lands, hence the visitors had
no trouble in reaching the objec-
tive point Of the day.
The stations lands and crops
were never in finer condition than
now, and the visiting farmers did
not fail to see all there was Of in
terest, in addition to hearing the
practical lectures by Mr.. Roberts
and other speakers. West Tennes-
see farmers are just coming to fully
appreciate the enormous value Of
the demonstration farm.

Washington, July 14.-In the
House, Representative I. W. Sims
Of Tennessee, closed the debate in
favor Of the House substitute for
Senator Shields water power bill.
Mr.. Sims said that the record
showed that the Senate bill was re-
ferred to the committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce on
March 10 aad that the House sub
stitute was reported by the COM
mittee on March 21, which would
indicate that the House committe
had considered its substitute for the
Senate bill for only 10 days, but
that in fact the bill reported as a
substitute had been introduced at
an early day in the present session
by Mr.. Adams0n and that the bill
reported as a substitute had been
continuously considered by the en-
tire committee from December to
March 81, when it was reported as
a substitute sor the Senate bill.
Mr.. Sims said that the great
practical and fundamental differ
ence between the Senate bill and
