MARITIME TONES DOWN
PLEA FOR EASEMENT
Changes Language Because of
Hostility in Senate.

Washington, July Ex-senator Mar
tine abandoned his resolution appeal
ing to the British government on be-
half Of Sir Roger Easement to-day In
the face of the evident hostility Of a
majority of the Senator'S. He substi-
tuted a milder form of words, which
will be taken up on Monday.
For the United States to make Off
cial representations would do more
harm than good" said Senator Stone,
chairman Of the Foreign Relations
Committee, when the matter came up.
"The State Department already, on the
request Of Easements sister, has had
Ambassador Page transmit a personal
appeal for clemency to the British gov
eminent. Ambassador Page has ad-
vised the department that official rep
reservations would not be received in
a kindly way. If Great Britain is dis
posed TO extend clemency to Easement
it will do it on its own motion rather
than have it said that clemency was
shown at the request of a foreign gov
eminent To pass this resolution
would be an international blunder."
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, agree
ing with Senator Stone, said he be-
lieved Great Britain would commute
Easements sentence TO life imprison-
ment and pardon him after the war
Mrs. Agnes Newman, sister of Sil
Roger, sat in the Senate gallery dur
ing the discussion.
Senator Williams asked what the
United States would have thought II
the British Parliament had adopted a
resolution of intercession in the case
Of Mrs. Suratt when she was executed
for completely in the murder Of Abra.
ham Lincoln.
Senator Vsrdman, in sympathy with
the resolution, urged Senator MARITIME
to eliminate from the preamble criti-
cism of the British courts, and Senator
Phelan suggested a substitute merely
expressing sympathy of the Senate and
Urging clemency.
Senator MARITIME finally offered hi.
new resolution, which would reques,
the President to advise the American
Ambassador to Great Britain ito use
his kindly Offices unofficially to ask FOL
