Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for a tri1e less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
If cheap baking powder is used for a
fine cake and the cake turns out a failure
there is waste of costly materials worth
more than whole can of the cheap bak-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore, results in
an actual saving.

BASEMENT PLANS 10 CONDUCT OWN
 TRIAL IN COURT

London, May Y Y9-The trial of Sir Roger Easement for high treason in connection with the Sim Fsein dis turbances will be public It will begin in Bow street police court tomorrow when a formal charge will be made before a police magistrate. The real trial will be held later before a panel of -5le> judges of the high court of jus tice and a jury.
 It is understood that Sir Roger in tends to conduct his own defense. The Crown prosecutors have compIet- ed their case.
 London, May 9.-''The Dublin execu- tions are becoming an atrocity,'' says the Manchester Guardian in an edito- rial article supporting the appeal which John Redmond, the Irish leader, made in the House of Commons yes terday for clenency for the Irish reb- els. x
 -Four men were shot yesterday and there is mo sign that this is about to stop. We can understand that it may have been desired in the first instance that swift punishment should be seen to follow the offense and that an ex- ample shoulH be set and a stern find ing given but this purpose has long since been served"
 The Guardian appeals for public trials for the remaining offenders, asking why this had been granted to Sir Roger Easement and denied the Dublin rebels.

ENGINEERS MAY TIE UP CRAFT
 OF N. Y. HARBOR
If a Strike Isn't Settled Soon Drastic Measures May
 Be Taken.

New York. May 9.-Fred B. Dal- ReIl. president of the New York Boat Owners Association, expresses little hope that conferences with the striking members of the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association would lead to an amicab1e settlement of their differ ences The conferences are being held at the United States Barge Office and R. B. Heating and D. J. Keefe of the United States Labor Depart- ment are hopeful of an early settle ment of the strike.
 Unless the strike is settled to-day Thomas H. Delahanty, president of the Engineers association, threatens to call a general strike which would in- volve hundreds of more engineers and tie up shipping completely. This threatened strike would cost shippers and boat owners hundreds of thou sands of dollars a day, shipping men declare.
 Members of the Maritime Exchange believe the strike is being encouraged by pro-German agents. They point out that millions of dollars worth of in the harbor. This complaint has been investigated by the Federal agents, but to no purpose.
 Another conference to-day between the officials of the New York Central and the officers of the Railroad Teleg- | threatened strike of te1egraphers, sig nal men, tower men, switchmen and station agents on the Central lines. These conferences have been held ev- cry day for the last week, and the strike has been put off until G. w. ". Hanger, agent of the United States Board of Cancellation, can report to both sides his findings as to the merits of the workers complaints.
 One hundred more independent cloak and Skirt shops capftu1ated to tn International Union of Cloak, Skirt and Waist Workers to-day and work was resumed by 3, 1000 strikers. The members of the Cloak, Skirt and Suit Manufacturers Protective Association are still holding out against the de- mands of the union, however, and the strike seems no nearer settlement than on last Tuesday, when 50. .0eOs workers walked out.
 A threatened strike of 75,0OO mems garment makers was a7erted Saturday and 5000 taiIors who had been on strike resumed their places to-day.

JAP GOVERNMENT AND RUSSIA SEEK
 PEACE IN CHINA
Former Enemies Said to Plan Agreement As to Pc
 sitions in That Country.

Tokio, May 9.-ConsiderabIe interest has been caused in Tolz4o by al report that Japan and England have been asked by Yuan-Shi-kai to mediate be- tween the Central Government and the rebels in the interest of bringing about peace in China. There is no confirmation of this report here in lof1- ciaI quarters although it is believed that the Entente Allies would be glad to make some arrangements whereby hosti1ities could be brought to a close in the Far East Conversations be- tween the powers concerning China are believed to be going on constantly, but a high official of the Japanese foreign office said to the correspondent of The Associated Press a few days ago: t'Ja- pans position is very clean. The question as to the system of govern ment that may obtain in China. and the question as to what man will di- rect the government of China are no concern of ours. We have no inten- ton of interfering in the domestic questions of China.'
 However, with stvatchfaI vigiIance's the key note of Japan's attitude, it is expected that should Japanese in terests or the lives and property of Ja- panese nationals be endangered Ja- pan would be forced to take some steps towards the protection of her interests.
 The Japanese press has been filled the past week with reports of a prob able agreement concerning China be- tween Japan and Russia. One news paper even went so far as to publish what it called the text of the agree ment, but this was characterized as false by the foreign office. The undgF- lying idea of the alleged accord was that Russia was to recognize Japan's special position in China

PONTIFF SOUGHT
 TO GAIN PEACE, LONDON REPORTS

London. May s.-The correspondent at Rotterdam Of the Exchange TeIe- graph Company cabled the following to-day:
 'tOn the occasion of the Easter fes- tivaI Emperor William sent an auto graph letter to Pope Benedict, express ing the hops the Pontiff, with the King of Spain. would be able to construct a scheme with the object of bringing to- gether under the auspices of the dove and olive branch. a conference of bel Hgerents for consideration of an inn mediate armistices in the fervent hope of securing an early peace without det- riment to the legitimate aspirations of nationaHties.' ,,
 The correspondent says he obtained this information from circular just issued by the German Humanity Lea gue. The circular also says consid- erab1e significance is attached to the arrival in Rome of Envoys from the Kings of Bavaria and Saxony, who had prolonged audiences with Cardin- al Gasparri, PapaI Secretary of State

FELLOW WORKERS KlDNAP BRIDEGROOM
 AT RAILROAD DEPOT
Honeymoon Trip Rudely Inter rupted by Good Natured
 Remington Employees.

Kidnapped from his bride when he reached Bridgeport, last evening, on the first stage of his honeymoon, Frederick J. Morrissey. a toolmaker in the Remington Arms & Ammuri- ton Co.,. experienced a wild half hour in the hands of a contingent of his husky fellow workers.
 When Catherine c. McCaughey, a pretty Providence girl, married only yesterday morning to Morrissey, reached Bridgeport. her new home, last evening, with her young hus- bands she was surprised to be greet ed by a 1usty. cheer. A moment of panic followed when two of the larg- est of the delegation snatched her hus- band from her. Butrher quick wit told her it was only a wedding prank, and she suibsided at the station, con- tent to wait for the return of the boisterous,i good natured machinists who had kidnapped her bridegroom.
 Morrissey was promptly escorted to the newspaper offices, and under threats of punishment of all sorts, made to disclose the story of his nup- tials.
 He and Miss McCaughey were mar ried at the Cathedral of Sts- Peter and Paul, Providence, by Father John Murray, yesterday morning. with Rose Morrissey, sister of the bridegroom. and James McCaughey, brother of the bride, as bridesmaid and groonSman. Morrissey is employed in department K-2 of the Remington plant, as a tooImaker. He and his bride will reside at the home of Robert Reed, 270 East avenue.

remove the principal danger to an interruption of the good relations existing between the United States and Germany.
 The Governmen of the United States feels it necessary to state that it takes it for granted that the Imperial German Govern ment does not intend to imply that the maintenance of it's newly announced policy is in any way contingent upon the course or result of diplomatic negotiations between the Government of the United States and any other bel igerent government notwithstand- ing the fact that certain passages in the Imperial Governments note of the 4th instant might ap- pear to be susceptible of that construction.
 In order, however, to avoid any possible misunderstanding the Government of> the United States notifies the Imperial Gov ernment that it cannot for a mo- ment entertain, much less discuss, a. suggestion that respect by Ger man naval authorities for the rights of citizens of the United States upon the high seas should in any way or in the slightest degree be made contingent upon the conduct of any other Gov ernment affecting the rights of neutrals and non-com batants. Re sponsi bi1ity in such matters is single, not joint; absolute, not relative.
