ROGER EASEMENT
LOSES HIS APPEAL
Higher Court Decides Against
Baronet Ce,victed Of Trea-
son 20 soa oting Uprising.
,SS,sV yRK FOR REPRIEvE

= London, July l8.-Without hearing,
the attorneys for the crown, the court
of criminal appeals today dismissed
Sir Roger Easements appeal from
the verdict of the lower court, which
found him guilty of treason, for which
Viscount Reading, the lord chief jus
tice, sentenced him to death.
For day and half Alexander Sui
livan, Sir Rogers counsel, argued be-
tore the court, quoting many author
tiles in favor of his contention that
the offense of treason depended upon
whether the accused dwelt under the
protection Of the king and that the
crime could not be committed with
out the realm. He abandoned his
other points in regard to the lord
chief Justices definition of the Of
fense.
As soon as Mr.. Sullivan had con-
cluded his argument, the court re-
tired to consider whether the attor-
neys for the crown would be called
on to reply. 1t soon decided to the
contrary, which indicated that the
appeal had gone against Sir Roger,
who was present during ne argument
and when judgment was given.
A further appeal to the House Of
Lords is possible only if the attorney
general gives a certificate that the
decision of the court of criminal ap-
peal involves a point Of law so ex-
ceptionally important that it. is de-
sirable in the public interest that a
still higher court should deal with it.
Attorney Michael Francis Doyle of
Philadelphia, of counsel for Sir
Roger, expressed an opinion today
that it was improbable the attorney
general would certify the case for
appeal to the House of Lords. as the
appeal court did not consider it
nccessary to hear argument for the
government. Powerful influences are
working for reprieve, said the at
torney. and there were strong hopes
of one being granted.

ferred, in his private room, with Sen

The presidents visit to the capitol
was unexpected There was no one
to meet him. Seeing a senate at
tendant, the president said:
Young man, could yet get Sem
ator Kern for me?"
The clerk returned with the ma

Petrograd, July 18.-(Via London }
Russian victory over Teutonic
forces in southern Volhynia has re-
suited in their being driven across
the river Lipa and beyond that
stream, says a war Office statement
issued today. Indications are, the
statement adds, that the retreat was
effected in the greatest disorder.
Theohicial statement says:
In the Riga region there was an
artillery duel. The Germans at many
places attempted unsuccessfuly to re-
capture lost trenches.
"As the result of the latest skillful
operations of General Sarakoff's S
troops in Volhynia we gained vic
tory on July l6, which brought us
$4,000 prisoners and thirty guns, as
announced yesterday, and enabled US
to sweep the enemy completely from
the left bank of the lower Lipa, driv-
ing him to Krassoff and beyond the
river. Judging by the abundance Of
war material the enemy abandoned,
he retreated in great disorder Some
of the seventeen heavy guns captured
were yesterday already bombarding
enemy positions on the south bank of
the Lipa."

NO OFFICIAL REPORTS

El Paso, Tex, July ia party o.
mounted Mexicans exchanged fire
with Company L of the Ninth Massa
chusetts infantry near here today. Ac
cording to reports the guardsmer
were doing outpost duty when ths
Mexicans rode up on the opposite side
of the Rio Grande and opened fire
The guardsmen suffered no casualties
but reported they believed they hat
killed one Mexican.
Captain Hickey of Dorchester
Mass, commanding the company. es
timated the number of Mexicans a,
fifteen, but asserted that he was un'
able to determine whether or not they
were soldiers. Approximately forty
shots were fired on each side, it was
said.
Deny Report Received.
Both General George Bell, jr., com,
manding the El Paso military district
and Lieutenant Colonel Leon Buck
lon, acting garrison commander in
Juarez, denied that they had received
official reports of the incident and
both said that it seemed trivial.
The shooting occurred in an iso'
lated district about three miles down
the river from El Paso, known locally
as "the island" section. The Massa-
chusetts company was doing border
patrol duty in this district, one-third
of the sixty men being on patrol and
the remainder being held in reserve
in the camp about half mile to the
rear.
Captain Hickey said that through
out the day small parties of Mexicans
appeared from time to time on the
Mexican bank of the riev,r which is
about 800 yards wide at this point.
Then, he said, a mounted detachment
appeared.
Creep Through Brush.
The Mexicans rode up to the river
bank, dismounted and deployed as
skirmishers, creeping through the
underbrush which dotted the rivers
edge. One Of the Mexicans fred his
rife, the bullet crossing the river and,
according to Private Charles, Prescott
of Natick, Mass, dropping at his
feet.
Screening themselves as much as
possible by little clumps OF mesquite.
the Americans returned the FIRE, and
by the time the reserves reached the
river to reinforce them, they had
driven the Mexicans back to their
horses. Before reaching the picket
line, however, the militiamen asserted,
one of the Mexicans stumbled and
fell into clump of greasewood and
did not arise.
The exchange of fire continued less
than ten minutes and when about
fifty shots had been fired on each
side, according to the company Off
GERS, the Mexicans, riding south dis
behind hillock.
