Ell Paso, Tex. May IA new factor
is believed to have been injected into
the conference of American troop dis
positions by the receipt Of fresh re-
ports that Francisco Villa is dead.
Mexican Consul Garcia said Col.
Carlos Carranza had telegraphed him
from Cusihuiriachic that he had been
unable to find Villas body but that
he had established beyond dispute
that the bandit leader was dead and
he hoped to recover the body in a few
days.
Two conflicting propositions devel-
oped Immediately after the beginning
in the Mexican customs house in
Juarez Saturday of the conference.
They are understood temporarily to
have increased the gravity of the ne
gotiations. The conference lasted two
hours. The initial meeting was be-
hind closed doors in the room Fran
cisco Villa used as his council cham
ber when he dominated northern Mex
leo. The second conference will be
held today in Ell Paso.
otntTdlS IluBu L. oCOtl anu EiSu
erick Funston represented the United
States. The Mexican conferees were
Gen. Alvaro Obregon, Mexican minis
ter of war, and Gen. Jacinto Trevino,
military commander of the northeast
district of Mexico. The progress of
the negotiations was not divulged, but
from an authoritative source two
things were learned:
First, the Mexican representatives
reiterated the wish expressed in Gen.
Carranza's recent note to the Wash
ington government that the American
troops should be Withdrawn from
Mexican soil at an early date.
Second. they were informed by the
American officials that the latter were
not empowered to discuss the with
drawal of Gen Pershing's columns.
1t is understood the American rep
resentatives told the Mexican con-
ferees that If the de facto government
insisted on an American evacuation
the conference would go into a dead
lock and the whole matter would re-
vert to diplomatic discussion between
Washington and Mexico City.
The Mexicans further were in
formed that the purpose of the present
conference, so far as the United
States is concerned, is the develop
ment of a specific plan for the coop
Grafton of the American and de facto
armies, in wiping out the bandit
groups that have spilled so much
blood along. the border and have re.
peatedly taken American life in the
interior of Mexico
| 1t is understood Gen. Obregon prior
to the conference openly expressed a
disinclination to discuss any other
subject than withdrawal, and that he
carried this attitude into the initial
meeting
Afer the primary issues had been
broached, however, he is reported to
have carried out the intention he an
nounced shortly after his arrival OF
Friday of meeting Generals Scott and
Funston half way" in the negotia
| tions.

Junior Class Musical
Pleases Audience

The program given by Miss AIDA
Blakeslee and Miss Mildred Allen of
the Dakota Conservatory of Music at
Fargo was worthy of much larger
audience than assembled at the Con-
gregational Church Tuesday evening
to hear it. The Juniaor class of the
High School, under whose auspices it
was given, were out in full force, but
the superior attractions of Robin
Hood kept many others away, evil
IDENTIFY.
Miss Blakeslee opened the pro-
gram with a group of songs; Ameri-
can, German, Russian, English, Nor
wegian and Welsh. Liszt's "Lorelei"
was perhaps the most exacting num-
ber in the group, giving both singer
and accompanist large opportunity
for Interpretation. The two Grieg
numbers, "The Primrose" and "The
Swan" were charming in their haunt
ing, elusive feeling.
Miss Allen proved herself a pianist
of unusual ability and though Liszt's
Second Hungarian Rhapsodie was the
masterpiece of her evenings pro-
gram, demanding all the skill and re-
serve force at the musicians COM
mand, her other numbers were de-
interpreted and heartily ap-
plauded, particularly Chopin's "But-
terfiy."
Miss Blakeslee's Irish, Scotch and
Southern songs were given in CO.'S
tune and the old favorites were thor
cughly enjoyed as she gave them with
delightful ease and simplicity.

Eight Mile Club Has
Meeting At Trenton

Every meeting big meeting, is the
boast of the Eight Mile Farmers club.
Despite weather conditions, bad roads,
ETC., the meeting held at Trenton last
Saturday capped the climax both as
to attendance and interest shown.
Miss Retslaff of the State Agricul-
tural College gave a very interesting
and instructive talk on Home Topics.
Supt. Ruzicka of the Williston sub
station, who recently returned from a
two months work on reports at Wash
ington, also was present and gave a
timely talk on the work of the depart
ment. At prior meeting officers
were elected for the ensuing year as
follows: David King, President; Har-

everyone VOTE ON
SCHOOL BOND ISSUE
SPECIAL SCHOOL BOND ELEC-
TION FRIDAY, MARCH 31ST
ALL URGED TO VOTE

Did the trainers of our Constitution
recognize as a fact that when mat
ters Of school concern are at issue,
about the best "citizens" of the state
are the women? At any rate States
Attorney Owens gives assurance that
the women of the city are all first
class citizens for the one day Friday,
March thirty first and as citizens
should exercise their right of fran
chise, in voting upon the question of
bonds for the new school building.
It is reported that this week in
common with practically every other
week of the school year has seen sew
eral new pupils entered as students in
the city schools. On Monday seven
children enrolled-and they represent
three new families recently moved
into the city. The enrolment for the
year is at present nine hundred seven
ty four. It appears quite possible
that the thousand mark will have
been reached by the close of the school
year.
The need for the new school build
ing is based upon the fact that while
every room Of every building is now
in use, two more rooms must be pro-
vided for third grades next year, and
one more room for the Junior High
School, while the Senior High School
should have further room for develop
ment. The increase in the number of
grades will have to be continued each
year for several years evidently ac-
cording to the enrolment in several
of the lower grades. The records of
the advanced departments of the
schools show these two commendable
and instructive facts:-that a very
high per centage Of the pupils finish
ing the eighth grade in the city
schools, continue their work by enter
ing the high school; and in both
Junior High School and Senior High
School very few pupils leave school
during the school year without &C
ceptable reasons,-there is a mini
mum of vagrancy and irregular at
tendance.
While it is true that the women of
the city have the privilege of the
franchise on Friday, the duty should
not be laid on their shoulders alone.
The bond issue is an important ques-
ton, the erection of a school build
ing a worthy enterprise; the few
minutes required for the casting of
your vote will mean much for the
schools.

MODERN APARTMENTS
TO Be BUILT HERE
MRS. LaDUE HAS LET CONTRACT
FOR $4,000 STRUCTURE ON
WEST BROADWAY

Last Saturday the contract was lei
for the erection of a modern apart
ment building to be known as the
LaDue flats in this city, and which
will be probably the most modernly
equipped structure of the kind in the
state. The building will be located at
the northwest corner of Washington
and Broadway streets on the property
now occupied by the LaDue cottage
1t will be the first metal-lumber struc-
ture to be erected in the state. The
walls will be fireproof and the floors
will be steel busted, and the plaster
ing will be on steel lath. The roof
and floors are to be of the latest fire.
proof construction.
Each apartment will contain the
latest in sanitary wall-beds. The bed
rooms will contain built-in dressing
chests under the dressing tables and
in the window. The kitchenettes will
contain built-in sideboards and a COM
plete electric stove equipment. The
ice box service will be direct to each
apartment.
The laundry is located in the base
ment and contains built-in tubs and
dryers and a clothes chute from every
apartment to the laundry. There will
be a delicatessen located in the base
ment for the convenience of those who
prefer to dine out rather than to pre-
pare meals in their apartments. There
will also be front door control from
every apartment. The heating plants
and other equipment will also be the
very latest and most efficient that
architects and engineers can devise.
The structure was planned by r. B.
Stacy-Judd Of Minot and the contract
price was just $50 below his estimate
on the building, and G. J. Harding of
this city was awarded the contract at
the price of S39,950.
Such building as this is one Of The
modern conveniences of which Willis
ton has long been in need as there are
quite number Of families who would
much rather rent a modern apart
ment than be obliged to use detach-
ed house or fiat without modern con-
veniences. No doubt there are quite
a number of families here who were
accustomed to a home in an apart
ment building before coming to this
city and who will welcome the oppor-
tunity of again taking up their resi-
dence in such a convenient place as
the new LaDue Flats will be.
