IRISH AGREEMENT MADE
Efforts to Find
Slayers of Madero
Are Half Hearted

Mexico City, Dee. e.--Efforts to
bring to punishment those who as
sassinated President Francisco I,
Madero and Vice President Jose
Maria Pine Saurez, In 1918, and
President Yerustiano Carransa. in
1890, are being continued In o
rather desultory way. It ID not
believed that any of the men ae-
cused will suffer execution, even
though convicted. The prevailing
opinion is that prosecution will
stop when clamor for vengeance
ends.
At present there is a resolute
group which is determined to press
the proceedings against the ac-
cused men. Some suspected men
have fled from Mexico. Some have
committed suicide, or have been
shot. when trying to escape after
having been arrested.

College Girl Will
Help Society Out

Chicago, Dec. 6.-Through the
influence of the college girl a
change for the better will be
brought about in the character of
society, in the opinion of Presi-
dent Henry Noble MacCracken, of
Vassar, who, has been addressing
alumnae meetings in Chicago. The
college girl, according to DR.. Mac
Cracken, will not be content with
perpetual frivolity.
"Too much frivolity bores the
college girl" said DR.. MacCrack-
en-. She will not tolerate the
unwholesome things in society life
And because she has been trained
to be leader she will do away
with them
DR.. MacCracken said the college
girl will substitute pleasure and
culture for frivolity and speed.
''If girls are to be happy" he
declared, "they must have some
thing more to think about than
style. +"

Delegations Pledged.

London, Dec. 6--(By Associated
Press. 1.-The agreement reached
by the British and Sim Fein dele
gates today binds both sides to
recommend it to their parliaments.
It Is formal, detailed and con-
elusive document, and its terms
prevent the necessity for further
negotiations.
Should the Dali Eireann agree
to the document--and q disagree
ment is not looked for, as it meets
satisfactorily the points raised by
the Sim Fein--ir will be embodied
In bill and submitted to the
British parliament which is ex-
pected to be called in special ses-
sion to consider it. The consent
of Ulster Is not required to make
the new Irish agreement effective.
She Is given the option of with
drawal In a montn, reverting then
to her present status within terri
tory to be decided by boundary
commission.
Ulster Can't Block.
While the agI cement has been
sent to Sir James Craig, the Ul-
ster premier, an unfavorable de-
cision from him will not prevent
the scheme from maturing.
Provisional government will be
formed in southern Ireland while
the British parliament is consider
ing the agreement.
On the question of allegiance a
form Of words was found which
satisfied both the government and
the Sim Fein. The recognition
Of Ireland as an Independent
state Is said to be clear.
X. The principle at last adopted
by the government is said to have
been that of trusting Ireland fully
and giving her full power of de-
cision without hamperihg her by
conditions.
''It also understood that an
agreement satisfactory to the
Sim Fein was reached regarding
control Of Irish ports by the navy.
The agreement was signed for
the government by Prime Minister
Lloyd-George, A. Chamberlain,
Lord Birkenhead and Winston
Spencer Churchill, and for the
Sim Fein by Arthur Griffith,
Michael Collins and Robert c.
