This was the first information Secre-
tary Lansing had given out as to the
status of the submarine situation. He
would add nothing further except to
say that the confidential negotiations
are still in progress.
An impression spread rapidly in
Washington during the day that the
United States and Germany have
reached final agreement and that
the only remaining step is to make
public announcement of this agree
ment. There was no official basis for
this speculation.
One report was that Secretary Lam
sing is Withholding announcement of
the agreement until Berlin can be no

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

'If the Indians get their franchise,
We will have million Indian Demo-
cratic votes to kill a million negro
population votes in the next election, -
said Ren Mcintosh in an address at
the High School this morning.
Mr.. Mcintosh is the only white sur
vivor of the so-called Custer massacre
of 1876. Aside from the historical
memories which he brought back to
us, very interesting data in regard to
the American Indian was set forth.
Telling Of truthfulness among the In
dians, the speaker said:
IF God Almighty should visit the
earth looking for truth he would first
visit the home of the full-blooded In
dian. The Indian says little and
hasn't much chance to lie"
He told of the Industrial and edu-
cational progress of the Indians; how
many were engaged in various
branches of industry requiring skilled
labor. As census -taker of the Indians
Of the United States, Mr. Mcintosh
estimated that there were 100000
in this country.
An opportunity such as was pre-
sented this morning to hear such an
interesting lecture rarely comes to the
people of the High School and was
greatly enjoyed.

 SCHEME IS UPHELD
On Close Vote in Senate Lee Amend ment to Kill It Is
 Beaten.

Washington, April By a vote of 34 to 36 the Senate late yesterday after five days of debate, refused to strike from the army reorganization Dill the section authorizing the pres 1dent to organize a volunteer army analogous to the Continental army recommended by President Wilson and Secretary Garrison. This vote. which came on an amendment offer ed by Mr. Lee of Maryland to strike out the Volunteer section, cut across all party and faCtional lines, though it was noteworthy that twenty-four of the thirty-four votes hostile to the volunteer force came from the dem- ocrats.
 Only ten republicans voted to kill the volunteer section of the bill sev- enteen republicans voted to save it., while nineteen democrats did like wise. The progressive republicans were almost equally divided four voting to strike the section out, while three-including MT. Poindexter of Washington, who is a Roosevelt pro- ressive-voted to preserve it. The final vote suggested that the fear of the formation of negro volunteer regiments had it's weight with twen- ty democrats voting to kill the sec tion were from the south. Fourteen regular republicans voted for the sec ton recommended by the president and only six voted against it. .-.--

That's What Candidate Fairbanks Tells Delegates Who Will Sup

Indianapolis, Ind, April 7--The thirty Indiana delegates pledged to vote for Charles W. Fairbanks as long as his name is before the re . publican national convention called on MT. Fairbanks at his home here late yesterday, following adjournment of the state convention, and gave d renewed assurance of their allegiance.
 A declaration of purpose as adopt ed by the candidates on the state ticket and the delegates to the na- tional convention was read. The doc ument guaranteed the heartiest sup port to MT. Fairbanks.
 "This is a little trying, my friends MT. Fairbanks said, "and l am glad you have come in this informal way, for now we can talk informally. I am glad you have come as friends in a common cause, that of republi- can success. Our democratic friends, with that ability which amounts al most to genius, have involved the na- ton in troubles that the republican party and it's sane policies only can eliminate"
 He then thanked his callers for their generous expressions of friend ship and said that if the republicans of Indiana decreed that he go before the Chicago convention he would answer the call.

HEART BREAK LIFTS HER HEAVY BURDEN
Wife Of Convict Tried to Live
 Down Friends SneerS

Syracuse, N. Y, March 7.-Jane
 Louise Cameron, the young girl who
 eloped from Auburn a year ago with
 an ex-convict, died yesterday in De-
 troit of a broken heart. She gave
 her life to the man she loved, and her
 friends finally disoWned her. She
 married a man just out of jail, conf
 dent that she could make him re-
 spected and honored and all those
 who had known her well turned their
 backs on her.
 With her husband, she fled 70 the
 West, hoping to hide the brand of
 "convicts wife, Now she is dead,
 heartbroken. The body will be
 brought back to Auburn for burial.
 On April 15 last year Jane Louise
 Mccarthy, nineteen, pretty, a debu-
 tante in Auburn society, married Roy R. Cameron, a man who had done a ten-year stretch" in Auburn Prison, and who was fighting to 'cone back" with the aid of Thomas Mott Osborne. She was a light hearted, perhaps light headed girl. He was a grave, hand some man of forty, whose hair had been turned white by his prison life. Met Cameron at Prison. MT Osborne had opened in Auburn rest house" to which eX-convicts
 might go, while trying to eet work. Cameron went there when his time was up. While looking for work he
 met Miss Mccarthy.
 Perhaps it was girlish sympathy. Perhaps she really loved the man. He told her he would make good, would begin all over, if she would help him. At last she consented. Together they
 came to Syracuse and were married. Cameron had got a job here through the influence of Osborne. He remained in this city, and the young girl went happened.
 Mrs. Mccarthy tainted when her daughter announced the wedding. When she was revived she expressed her anger, and finally Mrs. Cameron went back to her husband in Syracuse. But the story of what she had done of what her husband had dcne--fol- lowed her. She became morbid, de- spairing. The ostra cism visited upon her husband was extended to her! At last MT Osborne, the only
 friend of the ex-convict, the only
 friend of the girl who had once pcs
 sessed so many, sent the Camerons to Detroit. There the man got work and his wife. still breeding over her fami1y's resentment, the friends who had sneered at her, wasted away quietly and died, as the easiest solu-
 tion to her plight --..-. --
