BASEMENT AND AID UNDER INDICTMENT True Bills Reported Against Sir
 Roger and Bailey FORMERS TRIAL JUNE 26
Decision Quickly Arrived At-Little Interest in Action in Dublin Where Easement Had No Place in Irish Politics.

Easement Had No Place in Irish
 Politics.
 London, May 25, 12:40 D. m.-The grand jury today returned true bills against Sir Roger Easement, leader of the Sim Fein revolt and Daniel J. Bailey, the former British soldier who is held as his accomplice.
 The action of the grand jury fol- lows the preliminary hearing before a police magistrate at which Easement and Bailey withheld their defense and held without bail pending the grand jury deliberations.
 Seventy-five grand jurors were supt- moned before Lord Chief Justice Reading today and from their number twenty-three were selected to decide whether or not indictments for high treason should be returned against the two prisoners. Their decision was re- ported promptly.
 After a short deliberation the jury returned true bills. The judge fixed the trial of Sir Roger for June 26.
 Six Overt Acts Alleged.
 In explaining the law to the jury the judge stated that it was necessary treason should be proved by overt acts. In the indictment against Case ment as it stood. he said. six overt acts were mentioned
 The court nominated Alexander Sullivan of Dublin, and Artemus Jones, who appeared for the defense at the preliminary hearing. as counsel for Easement. It is understood that Prof. J. H. Morgan who took part in the defense at the preliminary hear ing, also will appear, but under the statute only two attorneys are to be nominated.
 Holman Gregory and w. T. Shell were named to defend Bailey. Thomas Scanlon, member of parliament, and one of the secretaries of the Irish party, also will appear for Bailey.

Speech at Charlotte, N. c., Makes
 Deep Impression in Germany BUT BERLIN IS CAUTIOUS
Docs Not Want to Appear as Suing For End of War-Seycral Papers ASSaii Presidents NeutraIity-Stock Mar kct Affected

Berlin, May "A, via London, May 25, 7:19 a. m., (Delayed)- wireless de- spatsh from the United States giving speech at Charlotte, N C., in which he alluded to the possi bility of Ameri- can mediation in the war is given the place of honor in the morning papers, The afternoon editions return to the subject, and their comments, together with the wide interest shown by the German public, show how important this news is regarded here.
 Though definitely stated nowhere, there is little doubt that Germany is willing to consider a tender of good offices to inaugurate peace negotla- tiOns. The former attitude in the highest quarters that America had disqualified herself as a peace medi- ator on account of her shipments of munitions to the allies has now changed. If President Wilson can hold out any tangible possibilities that peace may result through his media tion Germany undoubtedly will be willing to consider such suggestions as he may offer.
 Germany Not Suing For Peace
 This receptive attitude is naturally subject to the condition that Germany is not jockeyed into a position of an nOunclng her readiness to accept President Wilson's good offices only to find the allies later rejecting the tender and asserting that Germany is suing for peace. There is equally lit tie doubt that the great masses of the nSiI f,,n,1 hn fnc inr1 al hotspurs in the newspaper offices, would willingly see America in the role of peace Intermediary, despite the persisting bitterness over the muni- tions question.
 As a matter of fact little is heard either from the general public or from the press, on the tub ject of American shipments of arms. President Wilson's declaration cannot be said, however, to have made a good in Germany as far as the so-called "armOr plate" newspapers, like the Tages Zeitung and the Tag lische Rundschau are concerned. 9th CT Chauvinist organs take occasion to assail President Wilson with bitter and uncomplimentary phrases, and even a moderate paper like the Lokal Anzeiger declares that the president should first demonstrate the impartial ity of his neutrality by making good his demand for respect for American rights against England. He would then have an excellent chance, says this paper of succeeding in his peace mission at least as far as Germany is concerned.
 Speech Affects War Babies.''
 The rumors of mediation have af- fected the Berlin stock market. War babies which have been generally weak, dropped lower still on reports that America and other neutral cOun- tries were contemplating a tender of their good offices as peace mediatOrs. At the same time "peace stocks," such as shipping and colonial securities, are in strong demand

productions, was exceedingly apt in
his role of a dude while Ray Kill

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE

Lee R. Willis died last Friday even
ing at his home near Basalt from OBJ
struction of the bowels and general
condition of debility from which he has
been suffering for several months.
Mr.. Willis was 81 years of age and
was one of the pioneers of Eagle county
having settled in the Basalt section
about 80 years ago, Laving been en-
ployed on the Ell Jebel ranch for several
years. He served as county commits
sioner of Eagle county for fifteen years
and also served his people one term in
the state legislature. His official con-
duct was such as to win him the esteem
and confidence of his constituents and
because of failing health he was obliged
to refuse further 'honors at the hands
of the voters of the county in order
that he might devote himself to his
family and his private interests.
Deceased is survived by his wife and
four children, three daughters and one
son, Mrs W. J. Shank Of Leadville,
Mrs. I. H. Mitchell Of Cardiff, Mrs. 0.

For state senator E. H. Grubb of
Carbondale, R. C. Callen of New Cas-

Smith of Glenwood and John Welsh Of

AS to the delegation to Denver,
whatever else may be said of it, it is
conceded that it will be solid for the
support of Ollie Thorson of Glenwood
for state auditor. Mr.. Thorson has
been an uncompromising Republican all
his life and his well known ability as
well as his constancy and service to
the party, his friends believe should en-
title him to place on the state ticket.
Judge John l.. Noonan of this city

Dumping the Speed Maniac.

California is trying heroic measures to curb
the recklessness of speed n1aniacs. To force mo-
florists to reduce speed when they are approach
ing railroad crossings, ridges four inches deep
and five inches apart for distance Of three hun
dred feet on each side of the crossing are placed
in the roads and streets If taken slowly the mo-
florists escape discomfort, but if they try to pass
them running fast, the jolts and bumps force
them to take notice.
In many eastern Cities motorists have
crashed through wooden guards at railroad
crossings in their mad desire to cross track be-
fore an oncoming train. The railroad compan-
les complain that the repair bills on some cross
ings are excessively high. It is cruel to wish
motorists who do not regard signals death and
injury, but it seems that the deaths of reckless
drivers have little effect on the majority of
motorists
