Irish Leaders Shot.

London, May 4.-Death at the
hands of a firing squad at dawn was
the fate of three of the leaders of the
Irish revolution in Dublin.
The first victim was Peter Pearse,
who was proclaimed president of the
Irish republic at the outset of the re-
volt. Thomas j. Stark and Thomas
MacDonough were the other two lead
ers shot.
Pearse was principal of an Irish
preparatory school and was one of
the best known men in Dublin.
Announcement Of the executions
was made today from the floor of par

Best Friend of Mexico.

Ell Paso, May An the conference
with Obregon, General Scott is report
ed to have adopted the tactics which
he successfully employed in his nego-
tiations with Villa, the Geronimo in
cident and other affairs, and which
won for him the reputation of being
the official peacemaker of the Wash
;ngton government.
He is said to have indicated to Cen
eral Obregon these things:
That the United States is the best
friend Mexico has.
That President Wilson only wishes
to see Mexico rid of Villistas, and as
soon as this is accomplished the Amer
Jean troops will be withdrawn.
That it appears that the attitude of
the United States government has not
been properly understood, since, far
from seeking intervention, that is the
very thing it wishes to avoid.
That finally, the majority of the
American people, and even the mill
tary, are in accord with President Will
sons desire to avoid intervention.
In addition to giving General Obre-
gon this information, General Scott
is reported to have assured him that
the United States government hac
