ABANDONED BY DEFENSE
Court Informed Two Days Ago That
No Action Was Under Con-
temptation.

LONDON. July 2S-When the court of
criminal appeal met today to hear a
possible application in behalf of Roger
Easement. who was sentenced to death
for treason in connection with the re-
cent Dublin uprising, it was found that
the defense had abandoned any con-
templated action.
1t was disclosed, however that some
body connected with the defense had
informed the kings coroner of a wish
to reopen argument of a point abandon
ed by Alexander Sullivan, Easements
counsel, in the appeal court when ques-
tioning Lord Readings Interpretation
of the law in his summing up, on the
ground that Mr.. Sullivan had no au-
thority to withdraw the point men,
toned.
Justice Darling said it could hardly
be alleged with anything approaching
plausibility that Mr.. Sullivan had not
authority to do what he did, and he
added that despite Mr.. Sullivan's ac-
tion the court had considered the point
and if 1t had thought it necessary it
would have called on the attorney gem
eral to answer it. The court came to
the same decision as did Mr.. Sullivan
that there was nothing in the point
Arthur Powell, who had been engaged
to argue the appeal in the house of
lords If the attorney generals fiat had
been obtained, said the prisoners coun-
sci never had intended to make the
application and that the court had been
so informed two days ago.

BALTIMORE, July 2s.-The growing
impression that the German submarine
freighter Deutschland was delaying

ton had been received from the Bremen
by her agents here.
The Deutschland is loaded. her cargo
has been carefully trimmed. the ma
chinery satisfactorily tested. 1t is un-
derstood. and the underwater liner is
ready to sail on short notice.

been very inaccessible for business men

Today's Re7ort Shows Slight In

Decrease in New Cases.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The epidemic
of infantile paralysis still is unchecked.
the daily report of the health department
shows. The bulletin issued today discloses
a slight increase in deaths and a small de-
crease in the number of new cases. Dur
ing the twenty -four-hour period ending

On account Of the attention this dis

expects that this meeting will develop
many new and important suggestions

In his letter to Mayor Mitchell suggest

scientific thought and investigation in
this country. There are from fifteen to
twenty men from Chicago to Boston in

At one barracks the commander said
to the soldiers:
"Here is an American newspaper

not try to find out what questions he
asks nor what you told him"
The commander and all other ohcers
then left the barracks and the SOL

The correspondent, who had been
cautioned that he was likely to find
much anti-American feeling among
the troops, put questions designed to
discover if such sentiment existed. All
the men questioned declared they knew
nothing of the existence of such
feeling One soldier summed up
their attitude as follows:
Some American ammunition is be-

question and we do not know much
about politics. We don't hate any

offered his amendment which would
not only do away with the half-and-
trict OF Columbia a municipality
vest all the property rights Of the Dis
trict in the federal government have
the federal government pay all the ex-
penses Of the District, the residents of
the District to continue to pay fair
and reasonable tax into the federal

This is the same plan which Senator
works suggested during the investi2a-
tion into the fiscal relations of the Dis
trict and the United States by a Joint
select committee of Congress ,.-1 fall
Senator Works was himself a member
Of that joint committee.
Senator Smith of Maryland pointed
out that Senator Works amendment

being new legislation on an appropria-
tion BILL He said that he would re-
serve the right 10 make the point of
order when Senator Works had com
pleted his discussion of the bill.
"Half-and-Half Plan Inadequate"
Discussing his proposed plan Senator
Works told the Senate that the half
and-half plan was today entirely in
adequate and insufficient to meet the
needs of the District. that it had been
adopted by Congress as compromise
proposition forty years ago. and that
the members of Congress who helped
enact IL into law had not expected it
would be continued SO long in effect
"One Of those congressman. former
senator. who had more to do with this
legislation perhaps than any one else,
: appeared before the Joint select com
mitfee and SO testified" said Senator
Works He referred to former Senator
blackburn of Kentucky who was a
member OF the House at the time the
organic act of 1873 was passed
Senator Works said that unfortunate
ly many people in the District have be-
lieyed that this question of caring for
the District was purely local They
should take the broader view, he said
that Washington is the capital of the
nation and that the people of the states
have just as much interest in the Dis
trict of Columbia as the residents here
He pointed out that under the Consti-
tuition Congress has exclusive jurisdic-
ton, in the District.
