LUCK TO IRELAND
CO-PatriOtS Express
Sympathy for Rebels.
However, Deny They Give Aid
to Dublin Revolt.

New York, April 26.-IrishAmeri
cans of New York city appear to be
strongly behind the revolution in Ire
land. Denying that they are aiding
the uprising and disclaiming any ad-
vance knowledge of it, the United
Irish-American societys directors last
night issued this statement:
Several metropolitan newspapers
have referred to Sir Roger Easement
as a traitor and renegade. We desire
to call to the attention of the Ameri
can people that the only crime Sir
Roger Easement has committed has
been that he loves his country even
unto death if necessary He did what
Washington and the American patriots
did and now, by strange coincidence,
their foe is his foe.
Point to L. S. Origin.
1.-The United States was created by
revolution. Now that the nation is
rich and great, this is no time to as
perse the motives and conduct of mon
that are simply following our noble
example.
I'VE feel confident that the Amer
lean people, exclusive of interested
elements, do not approve of the at
tempts TO besmirch the patriotic eff
forts of Sir Roger Easement and
others to obtain the liberty of Ireland"
The United Irish American societies
includes such organizations as the A.
o. H, the Clan Ma Gael, the Gaelic
league, the Sim Feiners. the Irish Lit
erary society and others.
jeremiah O'Leary, national presi-
dent of the American Truth society,
declared that Irish patriots are for
Ireland, no matter whom she calls up
on for help in her fight for freedom.
Even the Germans" he was asked.
Hasn't Fomented Trouble.
Eyes, just as it was the French who
helped Robert Emmett" he replied
O'Leary said the American Truth
society had done nothing to foment
knew of no Irish-American activities
in that direction.
IF Irish-Americans decided to
bring about instructions in Ireland,
they know how to get to Ireland to do
it. and it is my opinion that they
would not start any such movements
here" he said.
while he was being interviewed
O'Leary received word by telephone
that the revolutionists had arrested
and were holding the lord lieutenant
of Ireland as a hostage to guarantee
the safety of Sir Roger Easement.
Don't Believe Easement Insane.
Local friends of Sir Roger Easement
refuse to believe he is insane and de-
clare that the British government has
simply made the announcement to
cover up decision not to
execute him. One prominent attorney
for big financial interests, who for
merly was deeply interested in the
Irish volunteer movement, but who is
now opposed to Irish rebellion until
the wars end, had this to say:
Il do not believe he will be exc
cuted To do so would make him a
hero and a martyr. 1t would hurt
EngIands cause in Ireland and in this
country"

MAY CALL IT OFF
Recall of Commission Govt to
Test in Denver.
Would Substitute Mayor as
Business Manager.

Denver, Colo, April 26.-Proposals
to revert to the mayoral form of gov
eminent in Denver after two years
trial of a commission form of govern,
ment will be passed upon by the vot-
tiers at a special municipal election on
May 8. The election was evoked;
through the circulation of three pc
titions, each seeking to replace the
commission form and to supplant it
with a mayoral system.
The first steps to effect the change
were taken by the Charter league,
whose petition calls for the creation
of the office of a mayor with broad
executive powers, whose duties to the
city are those of a business manager"
a saving of half a million dollars an
alton of the city government. The
league names no candidate.
Want Speor Again.
Two other petitions have since been
circulated, one proposing a return to
office of former Mayor Robert w.
Speer. and the other seeking the cleo
ent city charter all municipal cleo
tons are nonpartisan, but Mr.. Speer
is generally understood to be the
Democratic organization and Mr..
Booth to have the support of the Re
publicans.
At the special election in February,
1914, when the commission form of
government was adopted, the measure
carried by a majority of 7,S49.

OVERLOOK, Usage Co.

til Question Is Settled.
Whether or Not There Is Oil or
Gas There.

Drilling for oil will begin near
Overlook, in Usage county, some
time next week, according to a state
ment made this morning by o. P.
Boggs of Bartlesville, Okla, a repre-
sentative of the Illuminating Oil and
Gas company of BartlesviIle. This
company. Mr.. Boggs stated holds 80
oil leases in the vicinity of Overlook.
representing between 5000 and 5000
acres. Mr.. Boggs was waiting at the
National hotel this morning for a man
who owns drill which will be placed
IN the Wild Cat oil field near Over
brook. Charles e. Gault an attorney,
admitted this morning that he repre-
resented the interests of the Okla
homa company.
Biologists, Mr.. Boggs stated. are
now at Overlook endeavoring to To-
cate site for drilling. The leases
were obtained many months ago by G.
w. Nolan, Topeka man who has been
interested in the development of the
oil business near this city for years.
Later they were taken over by Mr..
Gault and Mr.. Boggs representing the
Oklahoma company. The leases have
been sent to the company's headquar-
ters at Bartlesville for recording and
short time and recorded in the office
of the register of deeds of Usage
county.
To Do Real Drilling.
Mr.. Gault this morning gave assur-
ances that the oil leases were in the
hands of experienced oil men who are
pursuing up to date methods in drill
ing and will leave no stone unturned
in their efforts to develop the project.
Drilling will continue until Mississippi
lime is found. Sometimes this is To-
Gated at a depth of 1900 feet and
again drilling must continue until a
depth of 5000 feet is reached. If oil
IS not found by the time that Missis-
sippi lime is reached the well is con-
sidered a failure.
Recently an inexperienced man

Hearers With a Small Matter

Though the car packed him away

sion, Paris still cherishes it's admira-
ton of the tall, grim Grand Duke

generalissimo of the armies of Mus
covy. And it is in Paris that they still
tell this story: One evening, when his

persons engaged in ~purveying supplies
to the soldiers should be assembled

ARE USING ROMAN WEAPONS
Soldiers of Today Employ Almost a
Duplicate of Sword Used by
Caesars Le~qionaries.

If one of Caesars legionaries who
fell in the qualification" of Gaul could
be walked from his long sleep and
placed in the trenches, he would find
one or two familiar things, v e if
he failed to recognize the landscape.
The appalling racket, the bursting
shells, the spectacle of men struck
down by invisible agencies of death
these would be new and awesome. But
the helmet would have a rather famil-
lar feeling on his brows, and if he
took part in a charge he would show
himself a most efficient man with the
trench knife"
For this new weapon is just the
old Roman broadsword revived and
brought down to date. The blade is
bit shorter than that to which the
~legionary was accustomed-15 inches
instead of Is. But the point and edge
are keen, the steel is good, the hiIt
is plain, and the Injunction to thrust
at the face" is as sound as ever. With
this accustomed weapon in his grip
and a cloak over his arm in lieu of
shield, Caius of the Tenth legion would
be a nasty warrior to meet on the
chalk knobs of Champagne.

very much. Since the county has re-

LIGHTS EFFECTS ON GERMS
Others into Creatures of a
Different Species.

If sunlight destroys bacteria, it is
their species. Such, at least, is the
obvious deduction which science is
drawing from a recent experiment of
Nine. Victor Henry, and it is one that
opens up an entirely new field to the
psychologists.
She had occasion recently to ex-
pose some germs of anthrax to the
rays from a mercury vapor lamp. AS
she expected, the treatment proved
fatal to most of the subject, but a few
of them survived.
The astonishing feature in the case
was that the survivors had undergone
a radical transformation. They we're
no longer thin and threadlike. They
had become spherical, or nearly so,
true cocci, in fact. At the same time,
they were radically different from all
known spores.
What is more, upon cultivation they
did not return to their original form,
and when injected into animals pro-
duced an entirely new disease.
NINE. henry is lOFCeu 10 Iue cOnCIu-
sion that she has developed an entire
ly new bacterial family, and reasoning
from her experience believes that she
has hit upon the means by which such
families have multiplied. 1t is her
opinion that after long exposure to
sunlight, a germ, if not destroyed, I'M
dergoes a radical change in form and
nature, thus becoming the root of an
entirely new species.
