Sir Roger Easement.

The British government was said to
be in possession of abundant evidence
that Sir Roger Easement, who was
taken prisoner while trying to land
arms on the Irish coast, was working
directly with the German under-secre-
tary for foreign affairs, Zimmerman.
His trial on a charge of treason just
ended and he will soon be called upon
to face a firing squad in the Tower of
London.
Sir Rogers active career as a thorn
in the side of the British government
began just at the outset of the Euro
pean war in the riots and disorders
over the home rule bill in the summer
of 1914.
Until 1914, however, he was not an
open revolutionist In fact, he had
for years held a royal commission in
the British consular service and was
knighted in 1 gil for faithful service.
He was a companion of the late
Sir Henry NJ. Stanley in several of his
African exploring expeditions, notably
in the search of Emin Pasha. In
1912, as British consul general at Rio
Janiero, he caused great sensation

Colonel Roosevelt said he and Mr..
Hughes had spent between two and
three hours in talking over the is
sues of the campaign, which is another
way of saying the vital issues affect
ing the national interests and national
honor today. Mr.. Hughes, the colo
mel said, stated he much desired his
aid in the campaign, to which Mr..
Roosevelt replied that he certainly
would have it. Thereupon it was
agreed that the colonel would make
same number that he made in his
own behalf during the pre-convention.
The dinner was given in suite SO2
of the Aston. No one attended but
Mr.. Hughes and the colonel. The ia
BILE was set in the center of small
parlor with American beauty roses
as the sole decoration. It was a most
informal affair, Mr.. Hughes. wearing
a gray sack suit and the colonel a
simple cutaway. The dinner was plain
and substantial Bottled water and
coffee were the only beverages served
and two boxes of cigars remained I'M
touched.
The colonel arrived at 1870, escorted
by the new national chairman, Will
lam R. Wilcox, and from then onward
until ten minutes past ten the two
DISTINGUISHED leaders remained in con-
ference.
Colonel Roosevelt returned to Oy-

Taft to Forget Past.
New York, June 29.-Ex-President
William H. Taft said that he was will

Roosevelt to aid in the election of
Mr. Hughes. Asked if he would be
willing to speak from the same plat
form as Colonel Roosevelt, he said:
IT am for Hughes. 1 would not let
my personal feelings interfere. If
such speaking arrangements were
made I would act as a private in the
ranks and obey orders"

brink of open revolt and needed only
German encouragement to be aflame.
He received pledges of help and of
