STATE MAKINGBY INTENTION
Dr. Albert Shaw Discusses Subject
at University Commencement.
DEFINITE POLICY IS NECESSARY
Schools, Soil. Dralnaae nnd Forests
Problem Should lie Worked Ont
In Nonpartisan War Along;
Linen of State Interest.
LINCOLN, Neb., June ll.-Three hun
dred and sixty degrees were conferred
upon graduates and alumni of the Uni
versity of Nebraska hero today In the
annual commencement exercises of the
Institution. Dr. Albert Shaw of New
York gave the commencement address.
Dr. Shaw's subject was "State Making
by Intention," and his theme, after re
viewing the process by which our states
were created, the need of developing statu
activity arid, responsibility JXha-convlud-Ing
pai't of the address Is:
"I have come to Nebraska to make this
sincere appeal for the Invlgqratlon of our
states. Yet there has been one constant
thought In my mind about your own com
monwealth. You are not a state of city
dwLllers. It happens that tho fine city
of Omaha Is upon your side of the Mis
souri rlveij rather than upon the other.
This capital of your state Is a charming
center for your political life, your univer
sity, and for varied Interests of transpor
tation and commerce. But It Is not a large
city, and, apart from Omaha and Lincoln,
your state is mainly ono of farms and
rural life.
"I admonish you not to let this great
agricultural siate drift Into the condition
of moro than half of tho states of the
union, whero country life has relatively
decayed, and where tho brilliant allure
ments and tho rich opportunities of town
llfo absorb tho human energy and tho
material resources that ought to make
tho farms ever more productive, and coun
try llfo more wholesome, Intelligent, and
desirable.
"But tho thing will not work out un
aided. These marvelous transformations
in the towns are tho result of definite
public policies. The future prosperity of
your stato as a whole also must bo se
cured through a foreseeing statesman
ship. Rend a commission of your best
men to study the best that has been done
here and there, In parts of this, country
and In parts of Europe, and then do not
fear to act and to lead the way for all
American states.
Lamer State School l'nnd Needed.
"I have read some of your Nebraska
educational reports; and I see working a
real Impulse towards the larger control
of local schools, for the sake of equalizing
the opportunity of children in the more
remote counties and districts. But change
the system altogether. Build up a state
unity of free service and opportunity for
all your people. Tax the whole state for
the sake of all the children, and give
every child an equal chance. If neces
sary, create a good round state debt, to
make every Inhabited township In Ne
braska a desirable place In which tn llvo.
"In many ways your state Is fortunate,
because you may develop It under new
conditions and In the light of aaw
knowledge. You need not let your soils
deteriorate. You can enter upon a state
policy that will conserve your soils, and
Insure the permanent wealth of the state,
You can provide through a right adjust
ment of taxation for forests, and drain
age, and many things of permanent
worth that In other parts of the world
energetic governments are providing and
achieving.
Nonpartisan State Action.
"Tho best result to be expected from
the election of United States 'senators by
the people Is the emancipation from
party politics pf the governments of our
states. As matters stand today, w are
more In need of expert, efficient, non
partisan state governments than of city
administrations that meet those tests.
"Let the people, in electing their United
States senators, hold as strictly as they
like to the lines of national politics and
to the parties that find their meaning In
national Issues. But our states have,
been, and still are, the unfortunate vio
tims of party lines that gave excuse for
machines which in turn have selted upon
state and county and local government
for their own partisan or personal ob
jects. The pressure of the new demands
of civilization have been compelling our
cities to rid themselves of the evils of
purty politics, and to seek for expert

FULL CONFERENCE AT NIGHT
At I'oncliiolnn of Meeting of South
AmrrlranS) Mexicans nnd Amer
icana, Latter flay Practically
One tin Point.
NIAGARA FALLS, June ll.-A full
conference of the mediating plenipoten
tiaries and American and Mexican dele
gates was held tonight. At the conclu
sion the American delegates announced
there was a substantial agreement In re
lation to . the transfer of authority tn
Mexico City.
, NIAGARA FALLS, June ll.-The madia'
tors ut 3:20 p.'m.Hodny gave out the en
tire Correspondence they have had with
General Carranzu and his represents
tlves. No comment was made. It was
learned authoritatively, howevof, that the
mudlators. Impatient at the delay over
the Carranza answer, now consider their
correspondence with him at an end and
tho Incident closed.
The complete disagreement which has
arisen between tho American delegates
and the mediator over tho kind of man
to bo chooscn for provisional president
has hrought things almost to the break
ing point. The mediators showed con
siderable, worry.
The Mexican delegates Indicated that
they would sacrifice tho point on tho
method of succession, but would not
yield the provisional executive power to
a constitutionalist. They will Insist on
a neutral person. The mediators called
the Americans for a conference late to
day for what may be a final talk,
Some of the mediators think an agree
ment may yet be reached If the Ameri
cana submit their list of names and In It
Is a man satisfactory tn the, Hucrta dele
gates, but from the description given by
the Americans of the type' of man they
desire, there are many who consider the
situation hopeless.
Three Letters (ilven Out.
The correspondence Is composed of
only three letters. The first, signed by
the three South American diplomats,
dated Washington, May 3, Is the tele
gram In which the mediators withdrew
their Invitation to General Carranza to
send a representative to . the mediation
because he refused to declare an armis
tice. Its text was published at the same
time.
The second communication, dated May
28, was that delivered tn the mediators at
Niagara Falls by Juan F. Urquldl and
signed by Rafael Zubaran, special repre
sentative In Washington of General Car
ranza. This letter stated that General
Carranza considered the conflict In
Mexico should not be the subject of
negotiations at the mediation conferences
In the absence of representatives of the
first chief of the constitutionalist army.
Tho mediators replied to this note on June
2 commenting on the foregoing portion
of Sir. Zubaran's note by asking If they
were authorized to Interpret tho sugges
tion as an expression on the part of
General Carranza as an adhesion to the
terms set forth In the telegraphic com
munication on May 3. These terms were
a declaration of Hn armistice and a readi
ness to discuss all questions internal and
International.
This letter concludes as follows:
"If this were so we would take the lib
erty of suggesting through you to the
first chief of the constitutionalist army
that he hasten the appointment of his
representative to the conferences In which
wo are now engaged."
To this no unswer has been received, and
the mediators have frequently said thoy
considered It beneath their dignity to wait
any longer 'for aeneral Carranza to da.
fine his uttitude, having given him moro
than a week.
ii ha ran Much Surprised.
WASHINGTON, June ll.-Constltutlon-allsts
here would not comment upon the
action of the medlatots at Niagara Falls,
but plainly showed It was a great sur
prise to them.
Rafael Zubaran, the constitutionalist
here, had been expecting a dispatch from
General Carranza on which to base his
reply to the mediators from hour to hour
for the last three days and had not
counted upon the mediators terminating
the correspondence without further notice.

Home Secretary Announces in House
of Commons that Government
Has Necessary Evidence.
MUST PAY FOR DAMAGE DONE
He Says Subscribers to Militant
Funds Arc Responsible for
Property Destroyed.
DEPORTATION IS IMPRACTICABLE
Critics of Government Told Situation
is Without Precedent.
CAT AND MOUSE ACT EFFECTIVE
Seeretarr nelleven that "Let Them
Dir. Policy" Wonld Only Add
InccntlTC to Those Deslr
litir Martyrdom.
LONDON, June 11. Reginald McKenna.
tho homo secrctury, announced In th
llouso of Commons today that he hoped
the government had obtained sufficient
evidence to enable It to bring suit against
subscribers to tho funds of the militant
suffragotto organization. He added fur
ther hope that the government would be
nble to make the subscribers liable for
the full extent of the damage done by
"arson squads," destroyers of mall and
picture slashers.
Tho announcement was made In re
sponse to bitter criticism of tho Inactivity
of tho government against what Lord
Robert Cecil described as "nothing less
than Bnarchy," for which. In his opinion.
the only real remedy was deportation.
Mr. McKenna pleaded that the govern
ment was faced with a phenomenon abso
lutely wtlhout precedent. The number of
women actually engaged In committing
crimes connected with the militant suf
fragotto movement Is small, he said, but
sympathizers are numerous. He admitted
the crimes were increasing In seriousness
nnd ho recognized the growing sense of
public Indignation against the militant
suffragettes, more especially In regard to
their gross rudeness to King George and
Queen Mary.
In discussing suggestions for dealing
with the militants, tho home secretary
said ho belloved the "let them die" policy
would act only as a greater Incentive tn
militancy and would In due course lead
to a reaction In publto opinion. Deporta
tion he considered Impracticable.
A to treating the militant suffragette
as lunatics, Mr. McKenna said he could
not ask Parliament to sanction an act do
fining people as lunatics who had not
been medically certlfjed as such.
The last proposition, Mr- McKenna said,
was to give women the vote, but ho
thought that could not be seriously con
sidered as a remedy for existing condl
tlone. Mr. McKenna declared the much criti
cised "uat and mouse act" has been qulto
effective. Manr of the suffragettes re
lented, ho said, had abandoned militancy,
while others had fled the country.
The homo secretary appealed to the
newspapers to cease reporting suffragette
oujrago. Publicity, he said, was what
the militants were seeking. Many of tho
women, trie secretary said, are hysterical
fanatics who wish to din to gain what
they believe to be martyrdom.
"Whatever may be the difference of
feeling regarding the hunger strikers,"
tho secretary .concluded, "there can be no
doubt as to what the feeling Is with re
gard to the wealthy women who provide
the money. If we succeed In our plan of
prosecution, It will mean the destruction
of the Women's Political and Social union
and wo shall see the last of Mrs. Pank
hurst." Three New Concerns

The Industrial committee of the Omaha
Commercial club announoes three new
