MULLENS TO BE EVICTED
FROM HOME IN THE PARK
Willie Ready to Fight Commissioners, Who Order
Vacation of Little Stone House in the Woods.
Little Anna Sadly Picks Last Violets

At breakfast this morning william John
Mullen, aged Z, gave himself over to
elaboration upon the most recent twist
OF fate in the affairs of the Mullen family.
1t cannot be said that William John was
exactly rebel. but he was thinking
things, that, IL properly touched off, could
be made into splendid rebel material. The
Park Commission, for instance had or
dered the Mullen family to vacate the
little stone house on n bend of Kitchens
lane, upper Wlssahickon, Mount Airy.
William John had been born in that house
and the whole of his seven years had
been passed in the woods and on the hills
nearby. Now they were going to put
him out, with his father and mother,
brother and four sisters. They" were
the members of the Park Commission,
who have decreed that the house shall be
torn down in order that II may not in
terfere with the construction of a park.
So William John verged dangerously on
the line of rebel philosophy.
Whats the matter with you, boy?"
asked Mother Mullen.
Are we really going to leave this
placer" he demanded.
We have to-" Mother Mullen said.
William John ruminated for a few
minutes more; then he delivered his ulti-'
matum.
TENT FOR WILLIE.
81 won't go anywhere else;" he an
nounced I'm going to take the tent that
you let me have last summer. and I'm
going to live in the woods near here. You
can come to see me when you want TO
bring me grub"
Although William John, with his
years, is ready and eager to battle with
the city of Philadelphia in defense, of his
rights. the other members of the
Mullen family are less actively rebellious
Yet they too, view with dismay the pros
pect of giving up a home which has be-
longed TO them for 13 years, and in which
four of the seven children-one, girl, is
now dead-have been born.
The Mullens have packed their household
belongings and are ready to move so soon
as they are able TO find another house.

PHILADELPHIA LAWYER LOSES
PLEA FOR SIR ROGER EASEMENT
u. S. Government Refuses to Ask
Britain for Clemency

Sir Roger Easement has won a point
and lost point in his fight for life
against the charge of high treason pre-
ferred by the English Government. Dis
patches received from London by
Michael Francis Doyle, the Philadei-
phia lawyer, indicate that Sir Roger had
won his fight for a civil trial, Sir Rager
was arrested as he landed m Ireland at
the head of German expedition before
martial law was declared in that eoun-
a civil trial.
The Irish lawyer lost a point, how
ever, when Il was learned that the
United States Government had refused
TO make a plea for elemency In his be-
half. Doyle and Mrs. Agnes Newman,
Sir Rogers sister. went to Washington,
where they saw officials OF the State De-
paFtment and the British Government
Sir Roger Is now In the Tower OF Lon
don, awaiting trial
