The public is demanding the early
execution of Sir Roger Easement,
who Is described in the newspapers
as strutting about his cell in the
Tower Of London, boasting of his
success In starting the Dublic re-
volts. Statements that Sir Rogers
life would be spared because he Is
mentally unbalanced have aroused
intense indignation.
According to one story In circu-
Iation in London. Sir Rogers iden
t!ty was not known until his captors
reached Dublin with him
Sir Roger has made partial con
fessfon Of his part in the conspir'
acy, but has steadfastly refused to
name any OF his fellow conspirators
in Ireland. He told oficers who
questioned him that the Germans
counted first on harassing England
Ly a series Of air and sea raids
against the east coast during Holy
week. While these raids were be-
ing made he was to be landed in Ire
land with q picked force that would
gather recruits and march eastward
toward Dublin.
Weather conditions spoiled the
German plans, he surmised, on
learning that the Zeppelins had
failed to strike at England last
week.

Nearly the entire live stock line
Is selling at high levels for this sea-
son OF the year. On this date last
year the opposite was true. The
last half OF April, 1915, was one OF
the most disappointing seasons that
American feeders have ever known.
The initial cost OF feeding stock
had been higher than ever before
in the history of the country. and
the war had boosted grain prices to
the limit and the result was that
thousands OF feeders. both expert
snced and amateur. went broke and
cult the deal forever. The record
for 1915. so far. has been In some
respects similar to that Of last year
and many feeders, who marketed
their stock early. have little to
show for the seasons work. Prices
that have ruled during the past
month have been eminently salts
factory. however. and the men who
fed through will feel like taking an
other whirl at the game next year.
The leading feature of the trade.
in the cattle division. Is rapid de-
cline in average quality OF current
offerings. The fact Is that killers
will not pay the premium that ex,.
ira ripe bullocks should command
and feeders have no incentive to
make them extra good. The result
is that thousands OF 90-day cattle
are coming. and the best thing
about the business is the fact that
they are making plenty OF money
for the men who have them.
