rounds House With Plants
and Shrubbery Producing
Beautiful Scenic Effect.
BY STAFF WRITER.

The automobile has brought about
many new conditions and among the
most noticeable is the decoration Of
the lawns of the beautiful homes OF
the rural districts. A few years ago
there were very few people in the
country who cared much for the deco.
ration of their home grounds, but
there were a few who took prida In
keeping their lawns artistically deco
rated with Towering plants, shrubs,
hedges and ornamental trees.
AS autoists who passed these beauti.
full places, they became Interested and
planned for the decoration OF their
own home grounds until today most
of the country homes show the effect
of skillful planning.
There are many homes in Eastern
Indiana which deserve mention as
places OF beauty, bu, Of all Of these,
there is one which is generally talked
of by those who have seen the place
as one suitable to be considered a
! sample of the highest type. In many

grounds are superior to the house. but

New Year 5 Day.

New Years resolutions have become jokes,
because they made and broken with impu-
nifty. Deep sentiment. however, attaches to the
making Of these resolves at the beginning of the
year. The closing hours Of year always are
frought with serious thoughts, and from the ret
respective and introspection about the days that
have slipped away comes the decision to change
wicked ways, abandon evil habits, and to reform.
The main drawback to this kind of conversion
is that it takes place in hurry the will is STAN
peded into q decision before the intellect really
has grasped fully the step that is imminent.
Hence, the New Years resolution is on the verge
OF being broken as soon as it is made and usually
only few days, often only few hours, pass be-

EASEMENT GUILTY.:
SENTENCED TO DIE
The Jury COnViCtS PrisOna Of
High Treason.

London, June 30.-Sir Roder Case
ment was found guilty OF high treason
The ending of the historic tria
came when the jury, which had beer
out less than an hour, brought in its
verdict against the prisoner.
Half an hour after the verdict had
been rendered with shaking voice by
the foreman of the jury, Niscouni
Reading, lord chief justice Of En5lanl
with the black cloth by tradition call
ed cap spread over his head, and
his two assistants in scarlet gowns
likewise black-capped, pronounced the
sentence of death.
Execution will be by hanging. An
appeal by Easement was later an
nounced by Marshal Francis Doyle, Of
Philadelphia, of counsel for the con
victed man.
After Easement had been sentenced
Daniel ]. Bailey, the private soldier
who had been held as his accomp.ice
was placed in the dock. The court
directed the jury to return a verdict
Of not guilty and Bailey was discharg
ed. 1t was announced that the crown
had withdrawn the charge against him
Bailey is believed to have furnisaed
useful information to the prosecution
Easement received his sentence with
the utmost composure, smiling at his
friends in the court room. He then
made slater Ct, which occupied
half hour. 1t Vas a plea for the Tighi
to be tried by Irishmen and for Iiish

Easement said he wished his state

ence than the one before him. and par
ticularly the people of America from
whom had come many messages oil
sympathy to him and whose own strus
gle for liberty, he said, always ha
been an inspiration to Irishmen.
Easements auditors, among whom
were Viscount Bryce and many othe
prominent men and women, listened in
deepest silence. some moved to tears

MEXICAN LOOTINC.
New Charges Pile Up Against
Carranza Regime.

Washington, June -30.-Represent
lions to General Carranza protesting
against the seizure of American prop
erty by local authorities in many parts
of Mexico have been made at Mexico
City by Special Agent Rodgers.
Official reports to the state depart
ment have said that thousands OF dol
lars worth of gold and silver bullion,
horses, cattle, automobiles and other
movable merchandise belonging to
Americans had been taken.
Officials said their information indi-
Gated the Mexican local authorities
had made the seizures on their own
initiative and without sanction of the
central government at Mexico City.
Rodgers was instructed by the state
department to call the confiscations
officially to the attention of the first
chief, with a request that he issue
whatever instructions are necessary to
relieve the situation.
Most of the property seized had
been left behind by American refu-
gees.
Release by General Carranza's order
of the American prisoners taken at
Carrizal has averted the probability
Of immediate retaliatory steps. 1t is
possible that it has also helped to
pave the way toward an attempt at
a peaceful settlement of the whole
border situation. High officials made
it very clear, however, that the vital
noint at iSSue-the future attitude of
Mexican forces toward American
troops in northern Mexico, engaged in
guarding the border and pursuing BAN
dts who raided American territory
remains to be settled.
