Report From Carranza On Quest

MIx1cANs MEMBERS OF
~ BOARD ALREADY NAMED

Washington, Aug. 3.-The final
word from General Carranza neces.
sary to initiate organizatin of a joint
commission to settle border disputes
is expected in a day or two, and the
belief is the commissions work will
begin within week or ten days. The
official announcement in Mexico City
today that the Mexican commission.
ers had been selected was taken to
mean that the American suggestion
to broaden the scope Of the subjects
to be considered had probably been
discussed. Neither the state depart.
ment nor any officials had been ad.
vised tonight of the naming of the
commissioners.
There was nothing to indicate that
the three commissioners named,
Messrs. CABRERA, Bonillas and PAM,
would not be entirely acceptable to
department officials. President viii.
son has score of men under consid.
Grafton for appointment as the Amer
ican representatives. 81.
High Army Officer Mentioned.
There are many indications that a
high army officer will be one of those
selected. Major General Goethals has
been mentioned. The other men un.
der consideration include members Of
the supreme court and men in close
touch with commercial and financial
conditions. The commissions power
will be only that of recommendations
Whatever plan is proposed for settle
ment of the border controversies, or
for withdrawal of troops, or for any
other purpose, is in no way binding
on either government.

BRITISH CONSUL
IS HANGED FOR
HIGH TREASON
Sir Roger Easement Dies by the
Moose in Pentonville
Jail
A NWYy1YmYHN Nv ~-~-oo
ACTIVITIES IN REBELLION
WAS CAUSE FOR SENTENCE

London, Aug. 3-Sir Roger Case
ment, former British knight and con-
sui, was hanged at 900 a. m. today,
in Pentonville jail, for high treason.
Sentence of death was carried out
for his activities in Germany and Ire
land in connection with the recent.
Irish rebellion.
Deprived Of Title. /.
Honored with knighthood- title
since taken from him by King
Georges Order-for his many years
of service for Great Britain as consul
and consul-general, Roger Easement
assumed leadership, at period of
his country's crisis, in the recent
Irish rebellion, the plans for which
were laid while Easement was in Ber-
lin, where he was reported to have
negotiated an understanding with the
German imperial authorities.
British naval supremacy brought
an abortive close to Easements plans.
The German tramp steamship on
which there was transported an arm
ed expedition from Germany nearly to
the west coast of Ireland in April
of this year was blown up by it's own
crew when the latter foresaw that
1T was inevitable that the blockading
English warships would capture it.
The crew were made prisoners. The
tramp had been conveyed from Kiel
by German submarine, from which
Easement and companion landed on
Irish soil, where they were taken
into custody before their plans ma
tured.
In May, Easement was given a pre-
liminary hearing and was committed
for trial on a charge of high treason.
Late in June the trial was begun,
Easement pleading not guilty and Ut
tering denial that he had worked in
Germany's interests and that he had
accepted German gold as a bribe.
Sentence Confirmed.
The courts verdict was guilty, and
the sentence of death by hanging was,
after appeal by his counsel, confirmed
by the court of criminal appeal, late
in July.
The London press generally approx
ed the fate legally fixed for Case
ment, but in America persistent ef-
forts were made to save the noted
prisoner from death. In Washington,
resolution was adopted in the SEN
ate which would have President VIII
son intercede with the British govern
ment, and numerous petitions receiv-
ed at the White House from many
sources asking that plea for clem-
ency be cabled. In England, the Man
chester Guardian and number of
other papers pleaded for mercy and
petitions asking for a reprieve were
circulated in London. Adherents Of
John Redmond forwarded to Premier
Asquith petition signed by six bish.
ops, twentysix members of parlia-
ment and fifty-one other persons, in
Guiding a.number of educators.

Hours of Labor Us Chief Cause
For Complaint Of 100000 i
Workmen ,

Washington, Aug, 3.-While the
strike vote of 10000 railroad en-
ployees was being counted in New
York, every agency affected by the
situation was doing all possible to
prevent break between the rail-
roads and the workmen.
VIM. H. Chambers president of the
board of .conciliation, communicated
with President Wilson, though board
officials pointed out that nothing for.
NAL could be done until the railroad
managers and representatives of the
employees resumed negotiations next
week.
A meeting was called for tomorrow
morning of the senate commerce cons
mittee to decide whether hearings
will be held on Chairman Newland's
resolution proposing an investigation
by the Interstate Commerce commits
sion of hours on railroads and urging
employers and employees to postpone
settlement of their differences until
g report can be made Hours of labor
Is one Of the chief causes of the pro-
posed strike. F.. .+-s
Urge Action On Resolution.
The Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States, which yesterday ap
pealed to President Wilson, is urging
action on the resolution. The Cham
Der is considering calling a confer
ence of representatives of CONNER
cial organizations to impress on con
gress the necessity Of taking some
immediate step. r-
The department, tqday. designated
G. w. W. Hanger, assistant commits
sioner of the board of mediation and
Cancellation, as a member of the
board. The law stipulated that there
shall be three members, but Judge
Martin Knapp, chairman, and Will
liam L. Chambers, commissioner
have served alone because an official
of the department of labor, designated
as third member, when the board
was formed, was not qualified to Off
ciate.
Judge Knapp and Mr.. Chambers
asked the president to increase the
membership because the work of the
board already has become great.
Administration officials said every
thing possible would be done to avert
strike. If all other steps fail, it
is probable President Wilson will
make personal appeal to the rail-
road managers and employees, urging
them to effect a settlement in the
interest of the public. The question
may be discussed at tomorrow's cabi.
net meeting.

OLD ANp NEW SWIMMING HOLE
That Of the Present Day Cannot oblIt.
crate 0randfather's Memories Of
His Youth.

Memory goes tracking back through
the years to the old swimming hole.
This one was on the current side" OF
a great river, and the nadir of one OF
its majestic bends. Huge elm and oak
trees grew on the bank and shaded
waters whose limpid depths held such
delights as nowhere else have been
experienced. The smooth rock bottom
of the river was ever washed clean,
while the white sand Of the bit of
beach along the shore was firm and
grateful to the foot. This ideal spot
was not easy to access, but the enter
prising youth of the village found am
pie recompense in its joys for any ex-
ertiOn, even on the hottest day, re-
quired to reach it. Those who swan
there, now grown gray, look at the
homes that have invaded their happy
land with some thoughts of sorrow.
The old swimming hole Is only n
cherished memory, remarks the Omaha
Bee. Its wonderful freedom, in all
ways appreciated by a healthy boy,
is contrasted with the modern swim
ming hole provided by great city,
mindful of the needs Of it's growing
citizens. In this case it Is huge
tank, set on the slope of one of the
fine hills in a city park, surrounded
by beautiful trees, well kept lawn,
and provided with all the ap-
purtenances needful to the complete
enjoyment of the boldest swimmer Or
most graceful or daring diver. 1t is u
wonderful pool and the shouts of glee
that come up from its surface these
hot evenings testify most forcefuliy
to the appreciation of old and young
of privilege.
The new swimming hole is typical
of the newer life into which the race
is merging its existence, the urban
rather than the rural. 1t is regular
step in the orderly progress Of mans
evolution, but it's well appointed and
equally regulated delights will never
take the place of that splendid swim
ming hole nature provided for the use
of boys, many of whom are now grand
fathers.

Interesting Instrument.

When n German aeroplane on recon-
naissance duty over the French lines
was recently brought down by the al
lies, an aerial camera of an odd type
was recovered intact. The instrument
is described with illustration, in the
Popular Mechanics magazine. 1t
proved to be splendid instrument
and has attracted much interest
among members Of the flying corps.
At the rear of the case a handle and
trigger like those of a revolver are
provided. the latter being used to OPP
crate the shutter. 1t weighs about
twelve pounds and has an additional
handle near the front end so that 1t
can be held with two hands when in
use. The lenses are in universal focus
and tests have shown that faultless
photographs can be obtained with the
instrument at heights varying from
100 to 1900 yards.
