MENT AFTER DAY OF CONFER

SURFACE CAR TRAFFIC
Is SUSPENDED SUNDAY
President Of AmaIgamated Association
of Street and Electric Employees
Declines to Discuss Terms, But

factory to Strikers.

New York, Aug. S.-Settlement Of
the street car strike, which again has
resulted in a complete suspension of
surface car traffic in all the boroughs
of Greater New York, except Brooklyn,
is probable today, according to a state
ment issued by Mayor Mitchell.
The announcement came after a day
of conferences initiated by Mayor
Mitchell with the cooperation of Os-
car S. Strauss, chairman of the public
service commission. At these meet
ings, it was said, a basis of settlement
had been reached which would be sub
mitted today to the board of directors
of the New York Railways company
and to it's striking employees.
The mayor gave out a statement in
which he said:
Mayor Submits Proposal.
I'VE have submitted certain propos-
ais for a settlement of the street rail-
way strike to President Shonts of the
New York Railways company and to
the representatives of the striking en-
ployes. A basis of settlement has been
found and will be recommended by
President Shonts to his board of di-
rectors for ratification and by the rep
resentatives of the men to the en-
ployes for ratification by them.
The meeting of the board Of direc-
tors and the meeting of the employees
will be held today and upon ratiica-
ton of the proposed settlement by
both sides, the men will Immediately
return to work and service will be re-
sumed on the entire railways systems.
In the meantime and pending the SUBJ
mission of the terms of settlement to
both sides, it is deemed inadvisable to
make them public"
Looks for Agreement.
William D. Mahon, president of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Employees, confirmed the
announcement of Mayor Mitchell, but
declined TO discuss the proposed terms
of settlement.
I'VE believe" he said, Chat if the
propositions which have been agreed
to by the representatives of the com-
pany and ourselves are ratified they
will establish a very satisfactory
agreement"
Announcement that a settlement
was in prospect came soon after all the
companies operating surface cars in
Manhattan, the Bronx and Queens had
ordered to the barns the cars which
had been operated during the day. No
attempt was made to supply Sunday
service On States Island (Richmond).

BRITISH HANG IRISH KNIGHT
EXECUTE SIR ROGER EASEMENT
FOR HIGH TREASON.
Hemp Rope Instead of "Silken Cord"
Used by Hangman-Revolt Lead
err Meets Fate Calmly.

London, Aug. 4.-Roger David Case
ment, former British knight and con-
sui, has been hanged in Pentonville
Jail for high treason. He was o n
victed of conspiring to cause an armed
revolt in Ireland and with having
sought German aid to hat end.
Meets Death Calmly.
Easement met his death with calm
courage, according to eyewitnesses.
AS the party reached the shed where
the gallows was erected, the special
executioner, a hairdresser named Ell
lis, approached Easement and quickly
pinioned him. The two chaplains, the
undersheriff in London and the IN
dersheriff of Middlesex then took up
their positions in front OF the scat
fold, Easement mounted the gallows
step firmly and commended his spirit
TO God as he stepped on the trap.
No "SiIken Cord"
A moment later the lever was the
trap. . The eXecutioner sprung the
drop after he had adjusted the hemp
en- noose-not the "silken cord" which
the former knight had hoped up to a
few weeks ago would be granted as
his instrument of death.
