EASEMENT TRIAL
COMES TO HALT
DRAMATICALLY
Irish Patriots Attorney
Collapses While Making
Appeal.

London, June 2S.-A day filled with
sensational incidents was brought to
a sudden and dramatic close, when
Sergeant Sullivan Sir Rogers leading
attorney collapsed in the midst Of an
impassioned summing up.
Mr.. Sullivan was painting a picture
Of what he declared Ireland suffered
and declared the prisoner had commit
ted no treason when he attempted to
raise an Irish bridge to protect the
people of Ireland against unlawful
tyranny"
Earlier in the day the justice had
overruled to the motion Of the defense
to quash the indictment on the ground
that the statute under which it was
drawn did not provide for the trial Of
man who had committed treason
outside the realm.
1t was announced that no witnesses
would be introduced in his behalf,
mainly because such witnesses must
be secured in Germany, and this was
not permitted With the failure of
this move, Sir Roger himself made a
statement to the jury.
This statement, which was not
given under oath, permitted of no
DISCRIMINATION, and was flat de-
NAL that he had worked in Germany's
interests, or that he accepted Ger
man gold as a bride.
81 have never sold myself to any
man or any government, and | have
never allowed any government to use
me" he declared.

NECESSITY FOR
settled TARIFF
POLICY Shown
Trustees Do Not Favor ANY
Of the Several Tracts
Inspected.

Washington. June 29.--The neces-
sity for a settled American tariff
policy was emphasized Wednesday In
an address before the National Gas
Engine association at Chicago by DR..
Frank R. Rutter, assistant chief of
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, department Of commerce.
If the country is to hold its own in
the bitter competition for trade that
will follow the war, the government
must be given the opportunity to
make favorable commercial treaties
with foreign countries. cit should be
borne in mind" said DR.. Rutter, chat
concessions can not be obtained in the
tariffs of other countries if we are
not willing to make concessions our
serves"
"a fixed commercial policy is par
ticularly necessary at the present
time" said the speaker. 'With rumors
of trade agreements that will give
preferential rates Of duty between the
allies, and with rumors of customs
union to cover Germany and Austria
Hungary, we must be in a position to
know definitely the effect of our in
dustries of any proposed foreign ac-
ton. Can we not, if we know the
situation we'll enough to make proper
representations, obtain rates of duty
that will at least put our products on
an equality with those of other coun-
tries Ca privilege which we do not now
enjoy in France) and possibly in a
position of even greater advantage ?"
Commission Good Plan.
The proposed tariff commission was
referred to as step in the right di-
rection, as it would serve the excellent
purpose of taking the tariff out of
politics. The commission is also au-
thorized to study commercial condi-
tions and to advise regarding COM
mercial policies and commercial trea-
ties, and in this way will be of the
greatest possible assistance in estab-
fishing settled tariff policy.
The speaker pointed out number
of instances where the manufactures
of gasoline engines in this country
were at disadvantage in certain
foreign markets because certain tariff
rates amounted to discrimination. In
Russia, for instance, low rate of duty
on tractors is interpreted to apply
only to steam tractors, and much
higher rate is applied to gasoline trac-
tors. It would be most advantageous
if an agreement could be reached
whereby the low rate of duty could be
applied to the gasoline tractors. In
Austria there are different rates Of
duty for traction engines and for auto
mobile engines, the higher rate of
course being applied to the latter.
The customs authorities have ruled
that when a gasoline tractor is equip
ped with a light engine which might
be used to drive an automobile the
high rate Of duty should be applied to
it. This is a decided disadvantage to
American manufacturers, for it handi-
caps our light tractor motors in COM
petition with the heavy engines made
in Europe.
] In spite Of the fact that the war has
! interferred with the foreign trade in
gasoline engines, there Las k5sa cos

j. s. DEMANDS
APOLOGY FROM
FRANZ JOSEF

Washington, June 2S.-The Ameri-
can rejoinder to Austria regarding
the Austrian submarine attack on the
American steamer Petrolite, made
public today by the state department
describes the act as deliberate in
suit to the flag of the United States
and an invasion of the rights OF
American citizens" and requires
prompt apology, punishment of the
submarine commander and the pay
ment of an indemnity.
The vigorous language of the COM
munication. sent week ago today
makes it clear that the United States
government believes the facts in the
case entirely different from what the
Austrian commander reported them
to be, and that immediate amends
are expected.
