WILL DISCUSS
MEXICAN NOTE
Cabinet Meeting Today Will
Consider the Epistle.

Washington, June president
Wilson and his cabinet are expected
to discuss at tomorrow's meeting the
reply to be sent to Gen. Carranza's S
note demanding withdrawal of troops
from Mexico. While it has been stat
ed authoritatively that the reply will
make clear the administrations de-
termination not to withdraw the
troops until Carranza troops have
shown their ability to prevent raids,
there are other questions raised by
the note which must be considered.
Gen. Carranza's demand that the
United States declare its intention
toward Mexico 'in the interest Of all
Latin-America," has aroused consid-
cradle discussion in diplomatic circles.
Some diplomats do not hesitate to at
tribute it to the foreign diplomats at
Mexico City, working Off closer
Pan-American relationship
State department officials refused
to discuss the possibility and the re-
ply President Wilson will make to the
demands for new expression of dis
interest has not been indicated. The
demand may be ignored entirely as
other portions of the note, such as
that suggesting that American poll
tics are behind the action of the
United States.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IS
DEFEATED IN IOWA
Late Returns Indicate Amend
ment Lost by a Heavy
Vote.

Des Mones, la June 5.-When the
polls closed tonight, indications were
that an unusually heavy vote had
been cast in the primaries. There
was a belief that the governorship
might go to the republican conven'
tion, which meets in July. Candidates
for state Offices on the democratic
ticket had no opposition.
Officers of the Iowa Equal Suffrage
association claimed a victory for the
amendment by fair margin. They
said >hey expected their great
strength to develop in the rural dis
tricts. Opponents Of the cause"
were equally confident that it was in
the rural districts that the amend.
men would be defeated.
William l.. Harding of Sioux City
was, the choice of the republican vot-
ers of the state for governor, accord
ing to tonight's returns. 1t was ad-
mitted that later returns might af-
feet the total. but Harding was be-
lieyed to have sufficient lead to in
sure his nomination without recourse
to the republican state convention,
in July.
Wloman's suffrage seems to have
been overwhelmingly defeated, ac-
cording to returns.

the Russians are actively engaged
over a front from Strippa river, east

Russians everywhere are using
large numbers OF guns and men, and
according to Petrograd have achieved
successes on number of sectors.
They have captured Teuton positions
and destroyed guns and ammunition.
Shell Long Front.
Along the Bessarabian front, in the
Dnicster region along the lower Strip
pa and in the Volhynia, attacks by
the Russians have been particularly
violent. In the region of Olyk, in the
zone of the Volhynian fortress trian-
gle, the Russians have shelled front
of more than so miles in length, held
by the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand.
Around Verdun bad weather has set

Around VauX and Damloup, lombard

On the remainder of the fronts in
France, except around Ypres, the sit

FEW OPPOSE
PLAN To PAVE
CAPITAL CITY
Objections Based Chiefly on Fear
of the Cost of Improve
ment.
F. H. REGISTER AND HIS
BROTHER ARE HEARD
Every Step to Be Taken to Safe.
guard the Property
Owners.

Less than fifteen tax payers appear
ed before the city commission last
evening to oppose paving in the resi-.
dence districts. Petitions have been
filed with the city commission repre-.
senting fifty-four per cent Of the prop
erty owners and it is upon this show.
ing that the city commission is pro-
ceeding with the preliminary work,
City Engineer Atkinson has not
prepared the ordinances as yet, but it
is believed that the first steps can be
taken at the next meeting to set in
motion the much-needed improve.
ment. ~ .
Will Ascertain Cost First.
Tht property owners appearing last
evening were assured that no steps
would be taken until the tax pay
ers we're fully advised of the cost
of the Improvement Most of those
who objected did so from fear that
the improvement would exceed the
estimates of the city engineer.
Before any bids are let. however,
ample opportunity will be given for
the property owners to know the ex-
act cost. A meeting OF The business
mems committee named by the Com
mercial club has been held and e. A.
Hughes, its chairman, announced yes
terday that the business interests
will support the paving committee
headed by Il. C. Battey. Mr.. Battey
met with this committee and explain
ed the tentative plans.
Quotes Mandan Figures.
r. H. Register was spokesman last
evening before the city commission.
He quoted Mandan figures on costs
and asserted that these costs applied
to property here might make the i'm
provement confiscation of property,
but City Engineer Atkinson remarked
that Mandan must be we'll satisfied
when it decided few weeks ago to
put in thirty-six more blocks of paw
ing, taking in several residence
streets.
Mr.. REGISTER also suggested that
before anything was done that the
property owners be given an idea as
to the total cost. AS Mayor Lucas
explained, the intention is to take all
the property owners into the commits
sion's confidence and apprise them of
each and every step.
Addresses similar in vein to that
made by Mr.. Register were given by
George Register DR.. Fisher, Arthur
Van Horn and S. NJ Ferris.
The first step toward preparing for
paving was taken last evening when
an ordinance was placed on first read
ing requiring all roof drains to be dis
connected from the sanitary sewers.
These must be drained through con-
nections with the storm sewers.

John Henry, a Friend of Uncle
Abe Lincoln, Passes
Away.
MURDERED WIFE;
SERVING LIFE TERM
SERVING LIFE TERM

Friend of Abraham Lincoln, John
Henry, a negro, who as nearly as can
be ascertaned, had reached his hun
dredth anniversary, died yesterday at
the state penitentiary. The only
cause Of his death was old age.
John Henry was peaceful, hard
working negro. Before the Civil war
he was a Southern slave. During the
was he became acquainted with Abra-
ham Lincoln and Warden Talcott,
friend Of all the prisoners, used to sit
for hours and listen to the stories of
Uncle Abe, told in the quaint. broad
brogue of John Henry. .......
Moves to Grand Forks.
After the war he moved to Grand
Forks, where. he worked for one of
the early contraGtors.s .Hee.swas earn,
est and Industrious. Soon he had a
home and money in the bank.
Then something got the best of
him. The peaceful, Woodworking
John Henry murdered his wife. !,
The money in the bank went for
attorneys fees. The house was sold.
But John Henry. was committed to
the penitentiary. a.
Gle was perfectly harmless" SAYS
Warden Talcott. "He had never been
in any trouble before. And he has
been faithful ever since he was COM
mitted to the penitentiary for life.
A Carload Dav,
"Long after he was 80 years old he
unloaded his carload of coal day. "
was easy to see how pleased he was
when 4 o'clock would come and he
would have his car of coal unloaded
while the two tenderfeet assigned to
the next car by deputy would still
have half load.
"He has been failing for the last
three months. Old age got the bet
ter of him. But he was faithful to
the end"
Thus the friend Of Lincoln and an
early builder of North Dakota, the
old Southern slave, passed away.

ents.

Washington, June 5.-ln the seclu'
sion of the National Cathedral school
lawn, where he was presenting a flag
to the graduates, Justice Charles
Hughes made his opening speech. He
told the graduates that the flag meant
America first.
"This flag means more than asso'
Citations and reward" said the justice.
at is the symbol Of our national uni
ty, our national endeavors, and our
national operations. 1t tells you OF
the struggle for independence, OF
union preserved, and of liberty and
union, one and inseparable, of the
sacrifices of brave men and women to
whom the high ideals OF this nation
have been dearer than life.
''It means America first"
Under the custom of the school,
the student who stands at the head
of the class receives as a right the
flag which has flown over the school
ground all year. Miss Catherine
Hughes, daughter of the justice, was
member of the graduating class,
but she missed the coveted honor OF
winning the flag by few points:

republican national convention pour
ed into Chicago all day. and tonight
it was estimated that very few 'ere
not on the ground.
Many delegations came quietly and
sought their hotels without display,
but the few that borught brass bands
and banners, and wore badges of fav-
orite sons gave touch of color, and
something cs a holiday air to pre-con-
vention day.
The lobbies of the hotels, where
most of the delegates stopped. were
cleared for action earlier, and even
couches were removed to save places,
and tonight there was nothing on the
floors but mass Of delegates.
