Hurried Out Of ireland.
Sir Roger Easement. leader of the
separatist faction In Ireland, who was
captured while attempting to land arms
from Germany on the Irish coast. was
convened across Ireland Saturday by a
strong armed escort who knew the pris-
oner only by two initials. He arrived In
I,ondon without incident and Immediately
was lodged in the Metropolitan prison.
THE fact that Sir Roger Easement has
been brought to England to stand trial
and ia detained in military custody leads
to the assumption that he will be tried
on the charge of high treason.
This charge has been preferred less than
half a dozen times in England in the last
hundred years. The last instance was
during the Boer war, resulting in the con-
viction Of Arthur Lynch in 1903. Mr.
I.vnch. who is now a member OF the house
~ commons was sentenced to death, but
the sentence was commuted and year
later a pardon was granted.

State and War Officials
Await Word From 0bregon
Regarding the Conference

Advices as to the time Of Gen. Obre.
CONS arrival on the border to confer
with Gems. Scott and Funston were
still awaited today at the State ana
War departments. Judging by the time
Obreeon was reported officially to have
nassed Saltillo yesterday officials esti.
mated he might reach Eagle Pass to.
NIGHT Nothing has been received SO
far to indicate where the conference
will be held.
Secretary Baker said his department
had not prepared any instructions to
tha chief of staff as to what he should
discuss with Gen. Obregon. Secretary
lansing said no State Department rep
resentative would attend the meeting
of the officers. Secretary Baker sug-
rested that the question of greater CO.
narration between the American and
Carranza forces in policing the bandit
ridden portion of Chihuahua probably
would be the main topic OF discussion.
and the danger of clashes with civil
ian or irregular Mexican troops would
be greatly lessened by an understand
ing.
steps toward preparing a reply to Gen.
Carranza's note Suggesting the recall
of American troops would be taken un-
til a report from Gen. Scott was re-
ceived The War Department had only
routine reports today from Gen. Funs-
ton. There was nothing to indicate
what progress he had made in the
thorized redisposition Of the forces In
Mexico.
Forces Are Amply Provisioned.
II was announced officially today that
the forces in Mexico and on the border
now were amply provisioned with
stocks on hand large enough to carry
them up to May Is at least. In addi'

LEADERS JUB|[ANT
AT REPUBLICAN VOTE
Results in Three States Put
Regulars in Strong Party
Position.

There was loud rejoicing today among
regular republicans at the Capitol over
the result of yesterdays primaries in
three states for the selection of dele
gates to the national convention The
regular" ticket in each state polled
victorious vote over Roosevelt and
insurgent tickets.
Massa chusetts furnished the most in
teresting case in point. In that state
Roosevelt enthusiasts had placed in
the field straightout Roosevelt ticket
1t is quite true, however, that Col
Roosevelt himself had not authorized
this action, but, on the contrary, had
deprecated it. But the Roosevelt men
would not be deferred and insisted
upon placing in nomination as dele
gates at large four men to go to Chi
cago pledged to vote for Roosevelt for
the regular republican nomination
They were Messrs. Gushing, Bird, Card
ner and Washburn.
Result Sweeping Victory.
An opposition ticket was named. con-
sisting of Gov. Mccall. Senator Lodge
Senator Weeks and former Senator
Crane. They were to attend the conven-
tion unpledged, although it was gener-
ally assumed that they would vote for
Senator Weeks. for the presidential
nomination. The outcome of the
primaries was sweeping victory for
the unpledged delegation. which means
the politicians say. that at least
Massachusetts will not be for Roose-
welt.
1t must not be understood that the
contest which was decided yesterday
was altogether a straightaway fight
between Roosevelt men and the regu-
lars. 1t was largely a clash Of fac
tions within the republican party, with
personal jealousies entered to a large
extent
In Ohio the outcome was important
in the sense Of ironing out the last
vestige of opposition to the regular
organization. This was done in the
selection of Gov. Willis as a delegate
at large. 1t might be said to have been
case of completing the record"
Rumors Of Possible Switch.
There was no opposition. of course.
to former Senator Burton's candidacy
for the presidential nomination and the
delegation is instructed for him. For
some time there have been rumors that
in case Senator Burton cannot "be put
across" the delegation. with his con-
sent, will switch to Senator Harding
and try him out"
At any rate the delegation will be
regular republican and will stand like
the rock Of Gibraltar against any at
tempted stampede for Roosevelt
In New Jersey the regulars" elected
their ticket handsomely over the Roose-
welt ticket. The delegates at large to
the republican convention will be David
Baird. Newton A. K. Bugbee. Hamilton
F. Kean and Ira A. Kip, jr. Tho demo-
cratic delegates at large will be Gov.
Fielder, Edward E. Grosscup, Senator
Hughes and Representative Scully.

10000 Anthracite Workers
Would Be Involved if
WaIkout Comes.
SEVEN WEEKS EFFORT
AT ADJUSTMENT FAILS
Subcommittee Will Make Reports
Convention May 2 Will De-
eide Final Action.


over the question of recognition of the
United Mine Workers of America, the
anthracite operators and miners today
face the possibility of a strike involv-
ing 176.O00 men. The general board
of the mine workers union meets here
today to receive the report of sub
committee which was unable to reach
an agreement with the operators sub
committee. Both subcommittee will
report tomorrow to general con-
ference of both miners and operators
that they have been unable to reach
an agreement after seven weeks of
discussion.
Unless this conference is able to
find a way to break the deadlock. it
will be left to the miners convention
at Pottsville, Pa, May to determine
whether the miners shall declare a
strike. Representatives of the miners
today expressed faint hope that further
negotiations would be productive of
results and said that not one of the
eleven demands made by the miners
had been granted by the operators.
Cause Of Deadlock.
operators to the miners demand for
full recognition of the union, a closed
shop and the compulsory collection by
the operators of all dues and assess
ments of the United Mine Workers laid
upon their members. The operators
refused this demand. known as the
"check- off," on the ground that it is
un-American and against the practice
of every other labor organization in the
country.
The other demands of the miners and
the answers given by the operators
were outlined here today as follows:
A two-year agreement. Answered
Twenty per cent increase in wages
Five per cent offered.
An eight-hour day. Granted, pro-
vided production is not scurtailed.
Operators Are Willing.
Simpler methods of settling griev-
ances Operators willing to adopt any
plan to speed the work of the concilia-
tion board.
Limit contract miners to one work
ing place. Refused
Equitable and uniform price of sup.
plies to miners. Operators willing to
consider at any time.
Mine run" basis Of pay for piece
work. Refused.
Readjustment of machine mining
scales. Operators offered minimum
rates of 81 to s2.s5 a day.
Arrangement of detail wage scales
and settlement of internal questions BY
districts. Refused.
To prohibit Individual contracts ir
mining. Refused.
The operators. in refusing to install
the CHECK off" system, assert that
| they are in accordance with the de
cision of the anthracite strike com
mission appointed in 1902. John +
White, president of the United Mine
| Workers, denies that the strike com
| mission settled this question, but says
| the commission took up that subject
J on it's own initiative and contrary tt
| an agreement under which the demands
| of the miners were submitted.
