BRITISH SHIP
WASFROzEN Up
IN WHITE SEA
CAPTAIN AND CREW LOST.
ONLY THREE SURVIVORS
LEFT-THE CAPTAIN CON-
MlTTED SUICIDE.

HALIFAX, N. S., May 1.-The
story of the fate of the captain and
crew of the British steamship Suffolk,
caught in the ice in the White sea
while on her way to Archangel short
ly before Christmas, was related here
today by sailors of the New Found
land steamer Bell Adventure just in
from Archangel
The crew of the Bell Adventure met
and talked with the three survivors,
only one of whom, Russian Finn,
was physically able to recount his ad-
ventures. The other two were not ex-
pected to recover.
The Suffolk, supposedly having a
cargo of war supplies, was caught in
the ice of the White sea. Heavy
weather followed, the Russian Finn
said, and finally not only food but fuel
was exhausted. The suffering caused
many of the men to lose their minds
and while in this state they sue
cumbed. The ships captain, crazed
by the suffering of his men, whom he
was unable to aid, and himself ex-
hausted and worn, committed suicide.
When only ten survivors remained
they decided to try to reach land on
foot. Taking the scanty provisions
remaining they set forth on an eighty
mile trip across the ice. A heavy bliz-
zard set in and the party soon be-
come scattered and lost Only three
were able to stick together and after
days of wandering they were found by
the crew of "A British ship and taken
to land.
The Suffolk, a ship of 1854 tons,
was last reported in maritime records
a leaving Townsville. Australia, No
vember Is last for Bowen, Australia.

REVOLT COLLAPSES.
SATURDAY LAST
DAY TO REGISTER
BOOKS FOR STATE PRIMARY AND
ELECTION TO CLOSE AT
END OF THE WEEK.

If you want to vote in the democrat
ic primaries in August and in the gen.
eral state election in October, and
your name is not on the registration
books, then you have until o'clock
next Saturday afternoon in which to
qualify and be prepared to do your
part toward naming a governor, all
statehouse officers, congressman,
representative in the Legislature, etc.
The law of the state provides that
voters are eligible to qualify six
months before the day of the primary,
and under this law the books this year
would close on May Z. As that date
falls on Sunday Attorney General
Walker was called upon to decide
whether the brooks close on Saturday
the 9th or Monday the Sth, and in
decision rendered by him, he decided
that Saturday is the last day to
qualify.
While of course a large majority of
the Glynn county voters registered in
time to participate in the county pri-
mary, still there were many who failed
to do so, and who have not yet reg
istered, therefore unless they pay up
their taxes before Saturday they will
not have the privilege of voting in all
of the elections this year.

APRIL VITAL STATISTICS
BEAT ALL PAST RECORDS

Vital statistics in the city of Bruins
wick for the month of April beat all
past records since record keeping was
started here. 1t has always been the
case that there wer more deaths re-
ported than births, principally because
few people ever took the trouble to
report the births, while the undertak-
ers usually made the reports!
The deaths for April were only eight
while the births reported were Is, al
most doubling the deaths. The high
run was of special interest as it came
with the first month that births ex-
ceeded the deaths.
1t is of further special interest to
note that there was not single nat
ural death of a white person in the
city during the month, which is re-
markable. M. A. Baker, whose sad
death was the result of an automobile
accident, is the only death reported
for the month by white people.

Waits for Washinuton.

Ell PASO, Texas, May Progress
in the negotiations regarding the dis
position of the American expedition
ary force in Mexico today awaited di-
rection from the Washington govern
ment. In some quarters it was the
opinion that the conference has
reached the stage where the question
of withdrawal might be the primary
subject of discussion. 1t was said,
however, that the administration was
not likely to consider an immediate
retirement of Gen. Pershings col
umns, but rather would await con
vincing demonstration from the
Carranza government of its ability to
deal with the Villa bandits before,
starting a northward movement of
the 10000 or more United States
troops now on Mexican soil.
The reply Of administration off
clals to the report on the first con
ference between Gems. Scott and Fun
ston of the United States and Gems.
Obregon and Trevino for Mexico was
expected early today. After com
plete digestion of its contents by the
American representatives the second
conference is to be arranged
1t was pointed out by some we'll
informed persons that the present
negotiations might be merely the
preliminary to- a diplomatic discus
sion between Washington and Mex
leo City. Whether this could be the
case, it was indicated, would depend
altogether upon the attitude of Mexi-
can conferees.
II Gen. Obregon consented to the
proposals Of the United States, il is
said, settlement would be near at
hand. In the event of refusal from
him to consider cooperative cam
paign against the scattered bands
the whole matter would revert to
Washington. A diplomatic discus
sion then would ensue in which the
American government would deliver
its reply to the recent note to Gen.
Carranza suggesting the necessity Of
withdrawal.

Follow Their Leaders.

DUBLIN, Sunday evening, April 80
(via London, May D.-Rebels of the
rank and file followed the example of
their leaders this morning and con-
fessed 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 450 of them
who had fought since Monday in this
central area marched out from their
strongholds under the white flag and
gave themselves up. A few irrecon-
cilables continued sniping from lairs
difficult to locate on roofs or among
rafters of buildings nearby.
Soon afterward a rebel lieutenant,
wearing a heather green uniform and
carrying white flag, came in with
guard of ten men from the adjoining
county of Meath to learn the truth
about rumors of a general surrender.
The party marched off to the castle
and learned from J. H. Pearce, who
was named provisional president of
the Irish republic, that the movement
had collapsed and was advised to re-
sist no longer. The lieutenant and
his escort then started out to parley
with the rebels in the country dis
tricts 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.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press visited the entire area of the
disturbances today. The desolation
and destruction showed how severe
was the fighting. Any effort to de-
scribe the ruined center of the dis
turbance can give only general idea
of the havoc which, however, looks
more extensive. than it actually is,
owing to the amount of debris.
This morning the streets were full
of curious persons. who were glad to
have the opportunity to be about after
the long detention in their homes,
during which they were deprived of
food until the authorities made provi-
sion for them. The supplies thus
brought in were ample.

WASHINGTON. May definite
final proposals have not yet. been
reached in the border conferences
between Generals Scott, Funston and
Obregon, it was authoritatively stated
today at the war department A long
code dispatch from Gen. Scott ar
rived early today. Secretary Baker
expected to send supplementary ad-
vices to Gen. Scott, to reach him if
possible before his second confer
ence with Gen. Obregon.
While it was officially admitted that
Gen. Obregon had Suggested" with
drawal from Mexico of the United
States expedition, officials said these
overtures had not been in the form
of demand and that no peremptory
or unalterable position had been taken
by either side.
General Scott, it was explained, had
made counter suggestions to Gen.
Obregon, proposing cooperative mill
tary measures.
That the conferences have not
iNdNhCd q uCduioCh was dioO Sldlcu
on official authority No measures
have been taken on behalf of the
United States, it was asserted, which
preclude an amicable settlement
Officials said the negotiations up to
date had been satisfactory, Presi-
dent Wilson, they said, has no inten-
tion of granting the request at pres
ent that troops be withdrawn and is
hopeful that an agreement will be
reached for cooperation between
American and Mexican troops.
Secretary Baker took dispatch re-
ceived this morning from Gems. Scott
and Funston to the White House and
conferred with President Wilson. Of
ficials said the message asked for an
explanation of some of the points
made by Secretary Baker in previous
instructions. Afterwards, Secretary
Baker conferred briefly with Coun-
sellor Polk of the state department
and then prepared and forwarded ad-
ditional instructions to Gen. Scott
amplifying those sent last night.
