Sir Roger Easement before the out
break of the European war was in the
British consulor service. having held

In November. 1914. it was reported
that Sir Roger. who was the leader OF
the separatist faction in Ireland. had
gone TO Berlin and conferred with the
German imperial authorities, his IN
tentior, :: was said. being to open ne
gotiations between the German gov
ernment and the anti-English party in
Ireland.
Assurances were said to have been
given to Sir Roger that should the
German troorg land in Ireland all ma
tive institutions would be respected
by them. Sir Rogers followers in Ire
land were, according to the report. to
give every aid to the Germans.
The report of his activities In Ger
many created a sensation in England.
and in February, 1915, Sir Edward Grey
announced in the house of commons
that Sir Rogers pension. as a former
member of the consular corps, had been
suspended. pending an investigation OF
charges of disloyalty against him.
Sir Roger was created a knight In
1911. He is fifty-two years old.
1t was Sir Roger who. in 1912, while
consul general at Rio de Janeiro. made
a report on the torturing and killing OF
natives of Brazil by employees of the

MERGER BILL
RECEIVES A SETBACK
House District Committee Acts on
Railway and Power Com
pany Measure.

The proposed merger of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
with the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany received a setback in the District
committee of the House today when the
Fairchild bill was defeated by vote OF
s to Z. The Fairchild measure permits
the merger and outlines the conditions
under which 1t would be accomplished.
The seven members who voted to per-
init the merger were Chairman Johnson
and Representatives Lloyd, Ragsdale,
wheeler, Darrow, Oakley and Gould.
The noes were Representatives Lobeck,
Burke. Vinson, Dooling. Bailey, Hill
lizard, Cary and Mapes.
The committee also reported out the
bill to prevent the desecration of the
flag within the District of Columbia.
This measure contains prohibitions
against the use of the stars and stripes
for advertising purposes.
The Miller bill, raising the maximum
speed limits for automobiles, was taken
up and considered, but was left in an
unfinished state, as the committee had
to adjourn to attend the session of the
House. Representative Vinson of Geor-
gia offered an amendment permitting
the District Commissioners to set the
speed limits and certain zones OF trafhc
within which certain speeds should be en-
forced. The bill will probably be con-
sidered at the next meeting.

ties.
The subcommittee figures may be

proposed new $500, 900 addition to the

are to be kept at the Washington

by adequate storage facilities to cost
$4,000.
There are minor additions and improve
ments to the yard figured at $1,000 The
appropriations for extending the WASH
ington yard will be greater than the pres
ent act by about S15O,000.
Change for Marine Officers.
There will be a change proposed in the
law governing the number of officers in
the Marine Corps. Present drafts of this
legislation provide that the officers of the
corps shall number per cent of the en-
listed strength. Published accounts of
this proposed legislation have stated that
the number of naval officers shall be 4
per cent Of the enlisted strength of the
navy. This was said today by members
Of the committee to be totally inaccurate.
Present conditions Of legislation in the
House make it appear that the full naval
appropriations bill will not be taken up
for about a month.

Think He Is Insane.
The news of the capture of Sir Roger
was received with satisfaction, mingled
with regret at the termination of
what previous to his alleged activities
with the Germans had been a brilliant
career, useful both to humanity and
his own country. That he should have
engaged in such a madcap enterprise
as the British official communication
gives as the reason for his seizure fs
considered as lending color to the
view held by his old friends here thar
he is mentally unbalanced.
Little had been heard of Sir Roger
in this country for many months Last
October a returned Irish prisoner re-
ported that Sir Roger had visited the
prison camp at Limburg and vainly
tried to induce Irish prisoners to Join
an Irish brigade he was said to be
raising in Germany to fight against
England. 1t was reported a short time
ago that Sir Roger had applied for
citizenship in Bavaria. Later came a
report from a neutral source that he had
been arrested in Germany on an un-
specified charge.
