BASE BRUTALITY, IS
 OPINION OF FORD
Editor of Irish Paper Comments
 on Shooting Of Rebels

New York, May 1.-The speedy &C., tion of the English authorities in try ing and executing four of the leaders of the Irish republic yesterday was a surprise to Irishmen in this country, who after the collapse of the move ment hoped some way might be found to save the lives of the leaders.
 The fact that the three other sign CTS of the proclamation of the new re pubHc' were given only three years was taken to mean that the several hundred lrishmen who took part in the revolution may escape with even lighter sentences
 Following meeting of leading SUD- porters of the Irish parliamentary par ty Tn New York last night a cablegram m was sent to John E. Redmond, M. P, which reads:
 Irish in America, contrasting exc cution of Dublin leaders with treat ment in Ulster and South Africa. are revolted by this sign of reverson to savage repression"
 It was signed by Capt Stephen Me- Farland, president of New York muni- cipal council of the United Irish league.
 The Irish papers here say the revolt is still in progress in the country dis trlcts of Ireland. They praise valor and fighting spirit of the rebel forces and say the attempt to win Irish free dom has been more successful than England admits The papers print flaring front page articles telling of victories of the revolting troops.
 Says Robert E. Ford, editor of the Irish World:
 ''The shooting of Pearse and his as- sOciates will serve only to make the war between Ireland and England more bitter. To shoot them down was a piece of base brutality and will no doubt cause reprisals by the people of Ireland. Pearse, like Washington, represented a people throwing off the yoke of England. Washington would have been shot like Pearse had he fallen into the hands of the English" "
 Jeremiah A. O'Leary, a prominent Irish leader of his cOuntrymen in this city, said the men who signed the dec- laration of the republic knew they were signing their own death war rant.

DEV0Y NAMED IN
 PLOT INDICTMENT
Alleged to Have Been Connected With German Agents in U. s.

New York, May 1.-The federal dictment yesterday against Captain Franz von Papen, former German military attache of the embassy, who was von Papen's aid during the for mer's stay in this country; Captain Hans Tauscher, the Krupp agent in this country; Alfred A. F'ritzen, and Constantine COvani, all of whom were indicted recently for having plotted the dynamiting of the Welland Canal in the first weeks of the European war
 The superseding indictment re- turned yesterday names John Devoy, editor of the Gaelic American, who last week wrote an editorial in which he made scurrilous references to the President, as the man who tele- graphed to a Buffalo lawyer that Horst von der Goltz, German plotter, who has become a government wit ness, was "all right" and that he Devoy,) would be responsible for von der Goltz's identification at Buffalo telegraph office. Devoy asked John T. Ryan, the man to whom the IC1CS olll "dS SSIll u uO c1l1 yoe Se'i1 for him." meaning vone der Goltz, who was at that time a trusted lieu tenant of Captain von Papen's.
 The new indictment names as CO., conspirators, but not as defendants, von der Goltz, Frederick Busse, and Carl Tuchendler. All these men are understood to have given valuable in formation to the government.
 in, indictment in which the name of Devoy is men toned and in which the text of the telegram that Devoy sent to Ryan is given states that on September l6, 1914, won Igel "did cause and pro- cure one John Devoy at and within the Southern District of New York to send to one John T. Ryan, at Buffalo, N. Ya, a telegram of the tenor following, to wit:
 New York, Sept. 16, 1914. John T. Ryan, 163 Mutual Life
 Building, Buffalo, N. Y:
 Party who called is all right. I gave your address. Do all you can for him. Identify him at telegraph cffice. I will be responsible. Imper- feet introduction due to my brothers death and hurry
 "JOHN DEVOY."
 MT. Ryan is the man who paid to von der Goltz $400, which it is al legged, was money originally fur rished by Captain von Papen. Won Papen paid the money to a bank in New York, which in turn transmitted it to a bank in Buffalo, where it is alleged, it was paid to von der Goltz.
 The superseding indictmenet also m entioned the Kaiser and charges that the plot was matched to injure Great Britain and to help him.

Ministers in Salt Lake City Help in
 Recruiting.

Salt Lake City, Utah, May 1.-The pastors of a number of orthodox churches throughout Utah are CO., operating with the United States Ma rine Corps recruiting officers in this city in procuring recruits for the military naval branch of Uncle Sam $ fighting forces.
 The clergymen are of the opinion that the Marine Corps is a prime fac tor for peace in controlling situations which, if badly handled. might easily lead to war. and point to the Corps recent operations in Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua, in proof of this contention.
 "The men of the Marine Corps have done more to avert war in the last decade than all the peace societies in America" said one of the clergymen when asked about his recruiting ac- tiVitieS.

CONGRESS PACKED,
 IS P|NCH0T'S CRY
Alleges Unfair Methods at Session
 of COnSerVatiOnaliStS

Washington, May 1.-The national conservation congress at it's final ses- SionS today still was excited over yeS- terday' action, by which it voted 116 to 39 to recommend legislation which would allow the government to grant water power sites to private interests The program today was devoted main- ly to reports on fish and game conser- vation and discussion of health and education as factors in a prepared ness campaign.
 The minority of delegates, led by Clifford Pinchot, charged openly that the conservation meeting was packed by representatives of water power in- terests who desired passage of the Shield bill by a means of securing private control of stream sites now held by the government. This charge was denied vehemently by speakers in behalf of the Shields measure, who explained that they wanted only hon. est development of water power for the sake of national prosperity.
 The congress also adopted without opposition resolution advocating use of water power in production of nj trates for commercial purposes dur ing peace times and available to the government in any emergency.
 Miss Susanna Cocroft of Chicago, a health advocate, in an address today urged creation of federal board of health subjects. This should be di- rected particularly at moth CTS, she suggested.
 Other speakers included Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, pure food expert; Miss Cora w. Stewart of Frankfort, Ky, who discussed prevention of illiteracy;" Prof. Edward Orton of Columbus, O., who advocated military engineering courses in land grant colleges and un- iversities, and pr. P. P. Claxton United States commissioner of educa- ton.

New York, May 4.-The opposition of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, leader of the National Woman Suffrage asso- citation, to the formation of a "Woman's Party was announced to- day in a statement issued by the headquarters of the association.
 ''The minute we make suffrage a party issue" said pr. Shaw, I've lose our friends in the party that is to be disciplined, and we cannot afford to do that. It takes a tWO-thirds ma jority in congress to pass any federal amendment, and no party in power has controlled that much power since 1869. Consequently it is up. to us to maintain a strictly partisan attitude'

 He had worried over the killing of : L. Fred Purick in the bathroom of lis home last January and the death last summer of William Blatch, the husband of Mrs. Harriot Stanton Rlatch, both deaths having been at tributed to alleged defective appara- tus of his company.
 Choosing a time when no one was i'll the power room of the plant, Wheeler entered and placed one hand upon each of the two main switches, thus forming a connection through which the full current passed. The 2,300 volts killed him instantly.
