Is the time at hand when all
humanity's mental wealth is GO

off the superlative mentality of

fusing it into the detectives, the

These are the amazing posi-

TRYING
REBEL
LEADER

LONDON, May 15.-Clad
i'm u seedy, frayed suit, Sir
Roger Easement went ON
trial today in the Bow street
police court on charge of
treason.
Entering the courtroom, he
smiled at acquaintances. The
little courtroom was damned.
Daniel Bailey, a soldier, also
charged with treason, accom-
panied Easement.
Prosecutor Smith read the
charge, declaring Easement plan
ned the Irish rebellion and plot
ted to land several expeditions
in Ireland and on the British
coast.
He said that the German aux
iliary, sunk when Easement land
ed, carried 10000 rifles, a mil
lion rounds of ammunition, ma
chine guns and bombs.
AT Own Request"
An exchanged Irish prisoner
testified that Easement attempt
ed to induce Irishmen imprisoned
in Germany to desert the allies.
He said some accepted the over
lures and enlisted in the German
army.
When Smith referred to Case
ment's endeavors to wean impris-
oned Irishmen from the cause of
the allies, Easement smiled and
wrote on a pad:
They deserted at their own
request"
The prosecutor asserted that
the vast majority of Irish cap
tives treated Easements overtures
with contempt, whereupon they
were punished and their rations
reduced. He said a few unfor-
tunately were seduced, including
Daniel Bailey.
Smith read Bailey's statement
corroborating the seduction
charges. This statement said
that Bailey and Easement and
others went to Ireland in the sub
marine U-19.
Easement came to court in a
taxicab heavily guarded. Tho
crowd surged outside, demanding
admittance.
John Cronin, an exchanged
prisoner, swore that Germany had
promised to transport Irish de-
serters to America if Germany
lost.

!. s. PROTESTS TO ENGLAND
MOOSE WON'T
TAKE HUGHES

His position on Americanism and
preparedness is absolutely UNI
known. No progressive, nor any
progressive convention, nor Theo-
dore Roosevelt will endorse a
man whose position on these ex-
tremely important issues is left
to inference or guesswork.
Even should there be an elev-
enth-bour declaration by Hughes
or by some friend of Hughes to
clear up his position on these
subjects, It Is doubtful whether
it would be sufficiently convinc-
ing.
Progressive leaders like George
w. Perkins do not wish to an
tagonize the friends of Hughes,
or any of the influential men who
are to determine the doings OF
the republican convention.
They do not criticize Hughes,
or say at this time that they
would not support Hughes. 1t is
hoped, If Roosevelt is nominated,
that Roosevelt will get the
Hughes support.
AS matter of fact, however,
there is no idea in the mind of
George w. Perkins or any of his
associates that Roosevelt can or
will be set aside and Hughes sub
stituted as a second choice. II
/ Perkins had such an idea he
could not put 1t over. :
The thousand delegates who
will come to the progressive con-
Iyention, will come as Roosevelt
men first, but they will be pro-
gressive party men second, and 1t
may be predicted here that the
progressive party will be contin-
ued as a party nationally and to
certain extent locally and il
Roosevelt is not the nominee of
both parties and will not take the
nomination of the progressive
party alone-this is to be decid-
ed at the time the conventions
are held and to be determined by
the choice of the republicans
there will be a progressive party
candidate and third party ticket
in the field.

queer outcome of Seattle's fight

Mayor Hiram c. Gill has an

Brazenly defiant of the prohi-

done bar business behind the
thinnest possible cloak of secrecy.
Word came to Mayor Gill and
Prosecuting Attorney Lundin that
several of the more notorious vio-
lators had deliberately planned to
sell booze and had set aside a
certain sum to be paid~as fines
whenever they were apprehended.
One of these prescription spe-
cialists is reported to have made
