NO INTERFERENCE WANTED
Chairman Stone of Foreign Relations Committee Says Britain Would Re- sent Our Appeal for Easement.

Washington, July 22.-When Sena- tor Maritime today again pressed his resolution to have President Wilson urge a stay of execution for Sir Roger Easement, Chairman Stone of the foreign relations committee told inc senate, Ambassador Page had in- formed the state department the British government would resent any such representations. Senator Stone again opposed Senator Martine's resolution.
 For the United States to make official representations would do more harm than good" said Senator Stone. The state department already, on the request of Easements sister, has had Ambassador Page transmit a personal appeal for clemency to the British government. Ambassador Page has advised the departm ent that official representations would not be received in a kindly way. If Great Britain is disposed to extend clemoncv to Easement, it will do it on it's own motion rather than have it said that clemency was shown at the request of a foreign government. To pass this resolution would be an international blunder.
 Senator Nelson of Minnesota agree Ing With Senator Stone said he be- l1eVed Great Britain would commute Easements sentence to life imprison- ment and pardon him after the war.
 Mrs. Agnes Newman, sister of Sir Roger, sat in the senate gallery during the discussion.
 Senator Maritime finally offered a new resolution which would reouest the president to advise the American ambassad dor to Great Britain to use lis kindly offices unofficially to ask for communication in the sentence of death passed upon Sir Roger Case ment."
 Senator Phelan objected to inmedi- ate consideration of both, and they went over till Monday without action.
