his counsel will present it."
Two government officials testified to
Sir Rogers record in the consular SER
vice.
Private John Cronin of the Muenster
Fusilliers, described Sir Rogers at
tempt to make enlistments from Irish
prisoners in Germany. Sergeant Alex
ander Sullivan, cross-examining the
witness for Sir Roger, partly indicated
the line of defense by eliciting replies
that Sir Roger had told prisoners they
were to fight for Ireland and would be
taken to Ireland if Germany won a
sea battle. The witness said he had
seen Roger in Cork in 1918 at a meet
ing for organizing the Irish volunteers.
Another Irish soldier, Daniel
O'Brien. gave similar testimony. Sew
eral soldiers-John Robinson, Michael
O'Connor, Michael Moore, the last
named in uniform with an empty right
sleeve and John Neel in hospital garb
gave testimony during the afternoon
The line taken in cross examination
stated that the defense will contend
that the prisoner was pursuing the ac
tivities he was engaged in before the
war of organizing nationalist volun
teers.
Taking the witness box in his own
defense, Sir Roger Easement Wednes
day denied that the Irish rebellion
was in any way inspired in Germany
Easement made formal statement
to the jury. He denied that he had re
ceived any money from Germany.
"The charge that the Irish rebellion
was inspired in Germany is untrue
he said. "lt was neither made nor di
rected by Germans ....
Sir Roger was presented as a wit
ness after the presiding justices hat
overruled motion to quash the in
dictment against him on technica
grounds.
Easement denied he asked Irish pris
oners in German prison camps to fgh'
with the Turks and Germans. He wa.
not responsible, he said for the re
duction of rations ard other pu:,tsE
ment inflicted upon Irish soldiers who
refused to Join the brigGdes he va:
organizing, declaring such allegation:
to be "abominable falschoCds.'
His denial that he had ever receive.

The Sixty-ninth New York Regi-
ment, the first to answer their coun-
try's call in the present Mexican
trouble has a famous history. 1t was
first organized in 1851 as an infantry
regiment, but was re-organized as an
artillery regiment in 1858. 1t was first
mustered into the United States ser.
vice on May 8, 1861, and took part in
actions at Blackburn's Ford and also
at the first battle of Bull Run. In Au-
gust, 1861, about eight hundred men
of this regiment joined the 69th New
York Volunteers to serve three years.
The regiment was reOrganiZed at this
date and rc-entered the service of the
government on May 26, 1862, to serve
only three months, and were again
mustered out on September 3, 1862.
On returning from this service the
major part of this regiment again en-
tered the service for three years as

ance OF the Civil War and again saw
service in the draft riots of '63, and
again in the quarantine disturbances
in 1892. On December 6, 1898, this
regiment was reduced to Il battalion Of
five companies, A. G, ID, and *, but
was again reconstructed as IA regiment
on September 4, 1895. Under the pro-
visions OF General Orders, issued on
May 3. 1898. recruiting was again in
augurated to replace men rejected by
the medical officers and the regiment
was taken into the regular army as
the 6?th infantry, New York Nolun-
teers, on May 10, 1898.
After tho ceremonies of mastering
in had been completed on this day,
: the regiment was presented with q
handsome stand of cOlors by the
; Friendly Sons of st. Patrick Of New
York City. The presentation address
was delivered by Judge Jas. Fitzgerald
of that city. The stand consisted Of
the national and state emblems and
the historic green of old Ireland.
These lads saw no active service
during the war with Spain, being en-.
camped at Huntsville, Ala. On jan
uary 2S, 1899 they left this encamp.
mcnt and arrived in New York on
January 81, 1899 where they were
: mustered out of service. ....
This regiment was the first to wire

mess to cntrain for the front and We're
able to inform the Secretary of their
preparedness within a few hours after
the receipt of the order to mobilize.

the closest and most vital interests
of the Church. The attendance at all
the sessions was large, and close at
tention was given to the important
matters discussed.
A pleasant feature of the convention
was the presence of Rt. Rev. Bishop
O'Connell, of Richmond, Va, the first
President General of the Association,
whose efforts in the early days were
such strong factor in the growth
and stability of the organization. His
genial presence and happy optimism
were a source of inspiration to this
years delegates, always glad to vel.
come him to their deliberations.
The visit of the Apostolic Delegate,
His Excellency, N1sgr. John Bonzano,
at Wednesdays session, was an occa-
sion of much pleasure to all in attend
ance. He spoke earnestly of the work
of the Association, and commended the
efforts of all who have worked so
hard to make it success, and proph-
esied great things for its future ef
forts. He was the guest of honor at
dinner that day at st. Mary's Sem
mary, where the Executive Board Of
the Association and the members of
the Seminary Department dined with
him, by invitation of the president of
the Seminary.
In response to cablegram convey.

ance at the thirteenth annual conven-

visit to the general session on Thurs
day, when he gave brief, sponta-
neous and heartfelt address and
brought the thirteenth annual meet
ing of the Catholic Educational Asso-
citation to a close. The delegates
greeted the Cardinal and thanked him
for the deep interest which he had
manifested in the convention, as we'll

The proposed exclusion of the prov
ince of Ulster has caused such a storm
of. opposition throughout Ireland and
nowhere mas It been more vfoiert- tran
in Ulster itself, that it is more than
probable it will be dropped from what
ever tentative plan Lloyd George and
the Asquith ministry may have been

Whatever may be the result of these

half of the population of Ulster itself
will rise up in protest against any
! measure of exclusion. The Belfast
Irish News, one of the most influential
Nationalist organs in Ireland, voices
the opinion of these Northern patriots
in recent issue. 1t says:
Exclusion is so utterly and finally
impossible that it may be excluded
from consideration without further
ado The NatOnalists and UniOnists
of Munster, Lcinstcr and Connaught
will not consent to it and the Nation
alists and Liberals of Ulster will not
have it from any quarter or by whom
soever it may be proposed. Even all
the Unionists of Ulster do not want 1t

Congratulations from all over the
United States are being showered up
on DR.. John B. Murphy, from high Off
cials, private citizens and persons
from all stations of life, because upon
him was conferred the highest layman
honor within the gift of the Catholic

Conferring of the degree came as a
surprise to DR.. Murphy. The ceremony
took place during program at Mercy
hospital, of which DR.. Murphy is chief
of staff, in conjunction with the open
ing of a new hospital building. The
first inkling of what was to transpire
was when Archbishop Mundelein ap
peared unannounced on the stage.

and for purpose" said the archbish
op. Ever since my arrival in Chicago
l have been impressed by the loyalty
of the Catholic laity l have been de
sirous of showing recognition of it
but for some time was in doubt as tc
the form that recognition should take
The archbishop then paid higf
tribute to Dr. Murphy for his many
discoveries in science, his untiring eff
forts in humanity's cause, his deeds O
charity, his inspiration to younger me1
and his vivid devotion to his faith ant
the church. The red and gold ribbol
of the order was then fastened abou
DR.. Murphy's neck.

Sir Roger Easement Thursday was
sentenced to death as traitor after
a jury, deliberatlng less than an hour,
had found him guilty.
Before sentence was pronounced,
Sir Roger, once brilliant Irish leader,
made an impassioned speech as he
stood in the prisoners dock
"In England alone in the goth CEN
tury, loyalty to ones country is held
to be crime" he said with dramatic
gesture. "If it is treason to fight un-
der such conditions, then l am proud
to be REBEL
The first announcement of the ver-
dict of guilty" unnerved Easement
completely, but as he spoke he re-
gained his composure.
He seemed perfectly calm as he pro-
tested against conditions in Ireland
and declared he should have been
tried by an Irish jury. He stood erect
and smiling when the lord chief jus.
tice, as Easement finished his address,
pronounced the sentence that he
should chang by the neck until dead
After Sir Roger had been sentenced

who had been held as an accomplice
was placed in the dock
