Henry F. NOutsey'S application for freedom came after sixteen years spent in jail and prison cells during which time hundreds of persons of every political faith have labored to secure his liberty. Prominent among those active in his behalf for many years was Mrs. J. F. Cantrill, widow of Judge J. E. Cantrill who occupied the bench in the Franklin Circuit Court during the stirring times fol- lowing the murder of Governor Will liam GOebel in the winter of 1900.
 Under the administration of Gov ernor William o. Bradley. Youtsey was employed in the office of the State Auditor and it was known that he was to be secretary to Governor W. $. Taylor in the event the latter defeat ed GOebel in the gubernatoriaI defeat in 1899. Taylor was given the cer- titicate of election but a contest was filed and Frankfort became the rem. dezVOus for numerous mOuntaineers, adherents of Taylor.

is A HOPEFUL INDICATION
In Some Quarters Believed 1t
May Mean Personal Mes
sage to Pres. Wilson.

Washington, April 28.-Secretary
Lansing has had no further advices
from Berlin regarding the submarine
issue and the situation remains UNI
changed.
Announcement in press dispatches
from Berlin that Ambassador Gerard
would confer with Emperor William
at the army headquarters was regard
ed by officials as being significant.
Official information on the subject
was lacking but the opinion was Free
ly expressed that it was not at all I'M
likely that the emperor might have in
mind supplementing Germany's reply
to the American note demanding the
immediate abandonment of present
methods Of submarine warfare, with
a personal communication of some
kind to President Wilson.
Ambassador Gerard in visiting the
emperor is not acting under instruc-
tons received from Washington.
Consequently officials assumed that
the emperor invited Mr.. Gerard to
confer with him. In both official and
diplomatic quarters the injection of
the emperor's personality into the
situation was regarded as being a
hopeful indication.
President Wilson expects to receive
the German reply within the next
few days. Up to the present, in spite
of messages from Berlin, he is entire
ly without definite information of the
of the German government.

The revolt which broke out in
Dublin Monday has spread to other
parts of Ireland, chiefly west and
south. The real extent of the rebel
lion is kept secret. There seems to
be no doubt that the rising in Ireland
had been carefully planned for Easter
Sunday when the plotters probably
counted on many officials and men,
bers of the military taking a holiday.
The German naval sally against the
English coast towns and the Zeppe-
lin raid apparently were part OF the
general scheme. John Redmond and
Edward Carron, the Irish leaders, are
loyal to the government.

There is a reason when the state OF
Nebraska defeats her most distin-
guished son as delegate to his party
convention. If there are any great
men in America, Mr.. Bryan, with all
his vagaries, is one of them. But as
a public man he committed political
suicide when he turned his back on
the president in national crisis. In
seeking to get into convention made
up of President Wilson'S friends, ne
could only be looked upon as a trou-
ble-breeder. The Nebraska Demo-
Gratis wanted harmony.

GENERAL
OFFENSIVE
Indicated On The Western
Front By The
Allies.
RUSSIANS MAKE SPEED
BedfOrdshire Regiment Makes
aSuccessful Raid--Germans
Enter Trenches.
RUSSIANS MAKE SPEED

London, April 2S.-Great activity
at various points along the British
front is reported in the latest official
communication. The Bedfordshire
regiment carried out a successful raid
near Carney. There has been artil-
lery activity at La Boisselle, Hebu-
tern, Monchy-Au-Bois, Neuville-St.
Vast, Armentieres and Frelinghein.
AT Frelinghein the Germans entered
the British trenches but were driven
out. Similar attacks on the British
trenches on Hill 60 and at St. Eloi
were repulsed.
The Germans to the northeast of
Verdun on the front of Haudremont
and the Thiaumont farm and between
Douaumont and Vaud, essayed at
lacks, following violent lombard
ments, but the French curtain fires
held them to their trenches.
Artillery engagements have fea-
tured the fighting on the other parts
| OF the line in France and Belgium,
although the French aircraft have car
ried out bombing operations against
numerous German positions.
RUSSIANS MAKE GAINS.
The German guns are keeping up
their heavy bombardment of the Rus
sian position at the Ikskull bridge
head. Farther south the Teutons
launched an infantry attack near
Baranovichi but were repulsed by the
Russians. Still further south the
Russians have captured the village of
ChrOmiakoua.
With the return of good weather,
heavy artillery actions and infantry
attacks at various points are again in
progress along the AuStro-Italian line
but no important changes in positions
have taken place.
In Asia Minor, to the south of
Bitlis, the Russians have dislodged
the Turks from all their positions in
the mountains, says the Petrograd
communication.
The British submarine E-22 was
sunk by German naval forces on
April %. The announcement was
made by the German admiralty and
its truth is admitted by the British
official press bureau. Berlin also de-
clareS that on the same day a British
cruiser Of the Arethusa class was tor
pedoed by a German submarine.
London announces that the Nor
wegian bark Carmanian was sunk bv
gundre from German submarine off
the coast of Ireland on Tuesday. The
crew took to the boats, one of which
capsized, the other, with the captain
ana nine men, reaching the coast.
a German Zeppelin last night IT
tackled the port and railway depots Of
Margate, on the English east coast,
Berlin announces. London last night
reported Zeppeiins off the east coast
but indicated the probability that they
turned back without attempting to
penetrate inland on the misty night.
Two Russian hydro-eroplanes are
reported from Athens to have raided
Constantinople.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET
Trading Was the Largest of Any Re
 cent Week-e Session.

New York, April 22.-Heavy and persistent selling pressure was again highly effective during today's two hour session, the recess of the pre- ceding day merely accentuating the extent of the liquidating movement. Trading was far the largest of any recent week end, approximating 60O,- 900 shares, more than half of which represented the output of the final hour, when the list was almost with
 out semblance of support.
 The German and Mexican crises, for as such they are regarded by the if
 nancial community, were again the factors around which the feverish market centered. Special stocks, that description applying more directly to dustrials and oils, were steadily H- quidated, with few exceptions record
 ing lowest prices of the year. In gen.
 eral these issues are thirty to fifty
 points under last years best quota tionS
 Among the weakest issues were General Motors, which fell 20 to 40, Mexican Petroleum, 10 to 89; U. s. Industrial Alcohol, $ to 137; Crucible Steel, 1-2 to 75; Baldwin Locomotive
 6 IA to S4; Stakeholder to 121 Is;
 American Smelling to SS 1-2; Texas
 company, to 1S0; American Car, 5 1-2 to 55, and various others of that class to 5 points.
 U. s. Steel, which outstripped all other stocks in volume of offerings,
 manifested some steadiness at first
 but fell back to 50 as the selling
 movement gathered greater momen- tum. Rails were immune for a time,
 but the same cause was operative in that quarter later, the eastern lines, coa1ers, grangers and transcontinen- 1 tals losing from one to two points. General news of the day was more l variable than usual, ranging from the usual optimistic reviews of mercantile | conditions and enlarged bank clear
 ings to labor troubles and further con- 1 f1icting movements in foreign ex-
 change. Marks of the German remit | tance moved further in favor of Der | lin, checks to that center being quoted
 at 76 1-2 against the recent rate of | 75 3-4. Lires also were better, with
 no change in the London and Paris 1 rates.
 1 There were signs of liquidation in 1 bonds, some issues receding material | ly (par value) amounted to $2,63O, 900 1 U. $. coupon and registered 3s and l coupon fi4s declined 1-4 and Panama
 3s registered 1-2 per cent. on cal 1 during the week.
