Federal Volunteer Army and Government Nitrate Plant Rocks On Which
 the Committee Split

Washington. May 4.-Conferecs on the army reorganization bill late today dis agreed on several important features of the measure and adjourned until matters in disagreement can be taken up in the House. The rocks on which the commit- tee broke were the federal volunteer army reserve and the s15,Ooo,OOo government nj trate plant amendments adopted by the Senate.
 Notwithstanding the disagreement. Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the Senate conferees, said tonight he had hopes that good bill eventually would be worked out
 "The House conferees would not yield to the Senate provisions for the voun- tary army or the government nitrate plant,'' said the senator There are a number of minor points in the bill also which are in disagreement. But the main points seemed thus far to be the only irreconcilable features
 DEADLOCK IMMINENT
 Representative Hay has promised to return the nitrate plant amendment to the House for further instructions. He flatly stated however, that the House would not accept the voluntary army and the Senate conferees would not recede. In view of the apparent impa sse the con ference adjourned not to meet again until an effort is made to get further instruc- tions from the House. We do not ex- pect to take up the disputed points in

For the office of chief justice of the supreme court there are only two can didates.

UNITED STATES ID RAT|FY AGREEMENT REACHED AT JUAREz Notification That Tentative Plan Is Acceptable Sent
 to General Scott FORMAL STATEMENT
 BY THE PRESIDENT Says Agreement Provides Basis of Co., operation Which Will Strengthen
 Relations of Two Republics.
 Final Conferencs
 

Washington, May 4.-President Will son announced tonight that the ten tative agreement between General Scott and General Obregon covering the future operations of the Ameri- can and Mexican military forces in Mexico provides "a basis of co-opera- tion which promises to prevent mis- understandings and strengthens the cordial relations of the two republics Although there was no formal an nouncement of the action, notification acceptable to the American govern ment was telegraphed to General Scott at Fl Paso late today by Secretary Ba- ker General Scott Is authorized to ex- change formal acceptances with Gen eral Obregon as soon as the latter has obtained the approval of General Car ranza and officials here are confident that will be tomorrow or Sunday.
 President Wilson issued this state ment:
 q have examined. with the Sec
 retary of War, the report made by
 Ger. Hugh I. Scott of the confer
 ence between him and General Ob-
 regon, secretary of war of the re-
 public of Mexico.
 '"The report includes a tentative
 agreement covefing the future op-.. erations of both the American and
 Mexican military forces and evil
 dences cordial cooperation be-
 tween the two governments in their
 common purpose.
 "As this agreement is being sub
 mitted to the de facto government
 of Mexico it would not be proper
 for me to permit it's publication
 until that government has had an
 opportunity to examine and con
 sider it's provisions. The full text
 of the proposed agreement will be
 given out immediately upon its ac
 ceptance by both governments. In
 general, l may say it provides
 basis of cooperation which prom jess to prevent misunderstanding
 and strengthens the cordial rela-
 tions of the two republics"
 Secretary Baker carried to the White House today General Scott's long re- ports of his meetings with General Ob- regon at which the agreement was worked out Later he informed Sec retary Lansing of the plan. lnstruc- tions to General Scott, authorizing him to hold final conference with Gen eral Obregon and close the matter up then were prepared

KEPT IN ROOMS

In order to be assured that every student has his throat tested, it was decided to keep them all in their rooms throughout the day while the physi- clans visited them all. All showing symptoms of the disease will be sep arated from the others within the next day or two. None of the students who are now suffering with the disease are in a serious condition.
 The decision to enforce a quarantine was kept secret until early this morning, when the order that no stu dent leave his hall came like a bolt from a clear sky. Diciplinarians were stationed about the campus to aid in enforcing the order. But the students soon adjusted themselves to the situa- tioon and proceeded to make the day one round of foolish pleasure.

MANY VOTERS WILL NOT EXERCISE THE RIGHT OF CASTING SECOND CHOICE VOTE Considerable Misun d e r.
 standing Still Exists Re garding New Feature In
 Alabama Balloting MANY FEEL THAT SECOND CHOICE BUT AIDS AN OPPONENT Single Shouting" Is Not Permitted-How the Sec
 ond Choice Votes Are Counted
By L. S. BETTY

Montgomery. May 4.-(Special) Although numerous attempts have been made to eluciuate the primary elec- tion law, there is still considerable misapprehension on the part of the voters of the state with reference to first and second choice votes.
 In brief, the voters may cast sec ond choice when there are more than two candidates running for the same office. but his second choice vote is entirely optional. When there are only two candidates running for the same office, he is not permitted to vote for a second choice.
 The primary election law. while voluminous. contains no provision re- quiring the second choice vote in any event, to be cast However the law does set out explicitly the manner in which the second choice may be cast, how counted and other facts with ref erence to 1t.
 To explain more fully: There are three candidates for the office of pres- ident of the public service commits sion The voter may, if he so desires, express a first and second choice, but he Is not permitted to: cast first and second choice votes for the same can didate; for, in that event, only the first choice vote would be counted.

UNIVERSITY IS PUT. UNDER QUARANTINE
 AS A PREVENTATIVE
Cases of Diptheria Cause of Action - Students Are Not Allowed to Leave
 University Halls

Tuscaloosa, May Especial. )--In the twinkling Of an eye this morning the University of Alabama barracks were transformed into giant hospital no student being allowed to leave it and none living put in town are al- lowed to cross the dead line. In the meanwhile government and city physi- clans are searching thoroughly for diphthera germs.
 Culture was taken from the throat of every student in barracks today and the quarantine will be continued until investigation of these specimens can be made.
 But if the university was a hospital camp it certainly was the most genial, fun-1oving and good natured camp of similar nature on record. The students, very few of whom have diphtheria symptoms, took their confinement in a holiday spirit, and while their amuse- ments were limited owing to the fact that they could not associate with those not residing in their particular halls, they made merry throughout the day.
 REVIVE OLD GAMES
 One eyed cat" skip the rote," mig ger-in- the hat and other anti- quated kid games were worked over time by students who in but week or two will leave their alma mater to make their way in the world. The gem eral atmosphere was more like that of commencement time than that natur- ally to be expected under existing cir cumstances.
 Doctors who ordered that the stu dents be confined until examinations have been completed, declared this aft ernoon that the situation here was not serious and that there was no cause for alarm, but that the measures taken were purely precautionary.
 There have been several cases of |diphtheria among the students for some weeks, and it was thought best to take no chances of allowing the disease to spread.
