BASEMENT IS
 NOW ON TRIAL
IRISH KNIGHT SMILES AND MODS AT OCCURRENCES IN
 COURT ROOM.

LONDON, June 26.-The trial of Sir Roger Easement, the Irish knight, on the charge of high treason began this morning and a jury was obtained in one hour The prisoner pleaded not guilty When the prisoner enter ed the court and for some time after wards he smiled and nodded at ac- quaintances. He listened calmly while the clerk read the charge which re- cited the activities of Sir Roger in connection with the Irish rebellion and his attempts to induce Irish prisoners in Germany to desert from the British army. Speculation is rife as to whether Sir Roger will permit his lawyers to try to save his life by let ting the government show that his mind had been affected by breeding over the occupation of Ireland by Great Britain. The feeling has grown that the government would, for inter- national reasons, give him his life if he consented to admit that he was laboring under mental alteration but the friends of Easement declare he would die a hundred deaths rather than permit this. The trial promises to be one of the most absorbing interest.

CAMPBELL'S SLUGGERS
 SLAM LUCAS ALL OVER

By a score of IA to 2, or something like that, the Campbell nine yesterday wiped the floor with team of which no one is ambitious to claim the captaincy. Lucas got hit all over the territory. A new kid by the name of Hinton promises to be fine timber, or is fine timber now, and is alive every minute. Joe Campbell keeps his place as the best all around man and Slugger Reed got in some fine hits. Gus Mapthey pitched good ball, but some of the fielding was awful.
