sion. 1t is also alleged that in May,
1915, the defendant, ]. A. Cason and
other parties entered upon the land
and began removing timber from it.
At the time the suit for possession
was hASu' :" tOhipoAu al iiiJutiNuiOh was
granted the plaintiffs restraining the
defendants from further timber opera
tions. The plaintiffs now desire this
injunction made permanent. William
T. Reynolds, of Brooklyn is here as
a representative of the Brookman es-
tate and he is legally represented by
Attorney E. C. Butts aAG Judge d. w.
Krauss. The defendants are repre-
sented by the law firm, Bennet,

EASEMENT TRIAL
ATTRACTS CROWDS
TO POLICE COURT
FIRST WITNESS AGAINST AL
LEGGED TRAITOR Is A TYPI-
CAL IRISH GIRL-PRISONER
MAY TAKE STAND.

LONDON, May 16.-For hours this
morning crowds of people stood in
line around Bow street police station
waiting for the resumption of the ar
raignment of Sir Roger Easement on
charges of high treason in connection
with the Sim Fein rebellion.
The little court room was crowded
within five minutes after the doors
were opened and many hundreds of
men and women were unable to gain
admission. Superintendent Quin, of
Scotland Yard, who is in charge of
the police arrangements. voiced the
popular feeling about the hearing
when he said:
Il have followed every notable
case that Bow street has known in
many years, but the court has never
been the scene of an examination so
full of dramatic interest as the pres
ent one. The tense state of public
feeling, due to war has, of course.
been factor, but the case in itself
has features which raise it far above
the level of any criminal hearing in
my memory"
There was some speculation TODAY
as to whether Easements LAWYERS
would place him ON the stand at this
preliminary hearing. 1t is generally
believed that this will not be done
The first witness of the day was
Mary German, typical Irish girl,
who was the first witness to identify
Easement as one of the men who
landed from the German submarine
at Tralee. She testified she saw three
men passing farm yard gate early
Good Friday morning. She was ask
ed by A. H. Bodkin, for, the prosecu-
ton, whether she could identify any
.ot the three men,. She replied: eyes,
sir and pointed to Easement The
prisoner bowed his head and scrib
bled more diligently than ever on
the pad of paper.
Among the spectators were Mi
chael Flavin, Nationalist member of
the house of commons, whose home
is at Tralee, and a number of friends
or Easement, including several women.
Easement appeared entirely at sea
and smiled cheerfully as he took his
place in the dock.

supporting delegates who have prom

rain during the night had made the
temperature more comfortable for the
veterans and visitors when the first
session of the twenty-siXth annual re-
union of the United Confederate vet
erans and other Southern patriotic
bodies was called to order today. The
Bijou theatre, where the meetings are
being held was packed to suffocation
when r. w. Massey, chairman of the
local program committee raped for
order.
The "Yip-yip-a" of the old war cry
responded to the strains of Dixie -
"Old Black Joe," "Suwanee River"
and other melodies of the South.
A group of old soldiers of the Forrest
cavalry singing old airs also attract
ed considerable attention and brought
tears to the eyes of many. When a
lively Jig was played two old women
of 70-odd years brought a cheer when
they called two old soldiers to join
them in a breakdown dance.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The net
result OF the military conferences at
Ell Paso as reported today by Major
General Scott to Secretary Baker, has
been to convince the Carranza govern
ment that the United States has no
other purpose in its operations in
northern Mexico than to stamp out
brigandage, and as consequence,
there exists substantially an unwrit-
ten understanding the Carranza fore
es shall endeavor to demonstrate their
ability to handle the situation as the
necessary first step toward with
drawal of the American punitive ex-
pedition. General Scott believes the
border situation is less critical today
so far as the American government is
concerned.
To carry out his share of the plans
General Obregon has agreed to occu-
py and police the Parral district,
securing the mountainous regions to
the west of that town in search of the
remnants of Villas followers. He also
agreed to establish strong patrol line
along the Mexican SIDE of the Big
Bend country to prevent incursions
such as that at Glenn Springs and Bo-
quillas.
For that purpose General Obregon
has ordered into those regions 10000
troops under General Trevino, said to
be the most efficient field commander
in the CarranZa army. Advices to the
war and state department indicate
out promptly.
On their side. General Scott and
General Funston assured General
Obregon that the precautions would
be taken by American commanders
not to dispose their forces so as to
embarrass the operation of the Mexi-
can troops and also that the border
patrol on the American side would
be strengthened.
AS to Villa, himself, neither Amer
lean or Mexican officials seem to
have any knowledge of his where
abouts or anything positive to show
that he is still alive. General Obregon
believes him dead. General Scott re-
ported that the statement of the Mex
lean war minister in that connection
was not made with the idea of i'm
pressing the American officers with
an argument in favor of withdrawal.
but merely an expression of an opin-
ion.
The first obstacle encountered by
the American conferees at El Paso
was the necessity of convincing Cen
eral Obregon that the expedition af.
ter Villa was not an Intervention step.
The size and composition of the
force aroused alarm among Mexican
officers and 1t was pointed out to Gen
eral Scott that it was not customary
for posses in pursuit of one man to
go with field guns and mountain ar
tillery.
