EASEMENTS PLAN SYSTEMATIC
REBELLION IN IRELAND
London, May 16.-Part of the
carefully laid plans by which Sir
Roger Easement and his confeder-
ates plotted to set up an independent
republic in Ireland revealed Mon
day when Sir Roger was brought
from the Tower of London for a pre-
liminary hearing on Bow street pO-
lice court.
The German auxiliary that &C
companied Easement and his COM
rades aboard the submarine U-19 to
the Irish coast carried arms and mu-
nitions sufficient to equip a large
force Of rebels, Atty Gen. Smith de-
clared. When the auxiliary was sunk
by a British patrol boat she carried
to the bottom a million rounds of
ammunition, 10000 rifles, ten ma
chine guns and many bombs. These
were to have been distributed to
rebel bands counted upon to rise and
join Sir Roger in a victorious march
on Dublin.
\ In the prisoners dock with Case
ment today was Daniel Bailey, for
merly an Irish soldier, who was cap
tured by the Germans. Bailey was
induced by Easement in a visit to his
prison camp to join in his expedition !
to Ireland and with Easement went
ashore from the U-19 in a coIapsible !
boat. Bailey was arrested on the |
charge Of high treason April 21, but |
his arrest was kept secret.
At the conclusion of a formal &C
cusation against Easement, who |
nervOusly throughout most |
of the session, Atty Gen. Smith ex-
hibited a flag of the Irish republic, "
which he said Easement carried
ashore with him when he landed and

HEAD OF CHI. WATERS ASSN
EXPLAINS HIS SIDE OF 1T

Benz Parker, president of the Chi
cago Walters assn, read the
letter Of Sam Scarlet, L w. w. or
ganizer, in which Scarlet criticized
the walters assn for settling the
Messenger lunchroOms strike, and
had this to say:
I'VE secured full union working
conditions and wages for walters
and cooks, along with the improve
ment in wages and working cOndi-
lions which the dishwashers and
scrubwOmen demanded.
"Our agreement with Messenger
reduced the working hours in his Is
lunchrooms from "a to 60 hours a
week and secured at the same time
a wage raise averaging about 81 a
week.
1--WE would have secured this
agreement two years ago if it had
not been thatthe same workers who
are bowling now we're the ones who
at that time went into the Messenger
and acted as strike
breakers. We have no union for por-
tiers, scrUbwOmen, etc"

union is now beginning a campaign
for organizing the restaurant and hO-
tel workers who are not cooks or

A Closed Incident.

Senior Luis Cabrera, Carranzas minister OF
finance, and chairman of the Mexican contingent
Of the Joint International Commission, yesterday
fatty denied that he had issued a statement &C
cusing the government of the United States of
permitting arms and munitions to be shipped
across the border to the bandit Villa.
The statement was issued through a Mexican
news bureau supposed to be closely connected with
the Mexican Embassy and was marked official
Nevertheless, Cabrera says:
"The statement purporting to be from me was
not issued by me given out with my knowledge
or consent. All statements issued or which l may
issue, will appear signed by me-"
Ambassador Arredondo also has publicly an,
nounced that Cabrera did not make the accusa-
tions contained in the statement and has so in
formed the State Department. The Ambassador
also has denied the authenticity of an article ap-
pearing in The Outlook containing what purports
to be statements from Carranza and several other
Mexican officials expressing strong anti-American
sentiments.
George F. Edmunds, newspaper man en-
ployed by the Mexican news bureau through
which the statement supposed to have been made
by Cabrera was issued and who made public the
socaled Cabrera statement asserts that the state
ment was dictated to him in Atlantic City by Ca
brera, who authorized him to publish it.
Edmunds has been a newspaper man in this city
for a number of years and has established a repu-
tation for accuracy The Outlook is magazine
that has been published for a number of years and
has established reputation for accuracy How
ever, the so-called Cabrera statement has been
disavowed and the alleged Carranza statement has
been denied The incident may be considered
closed automatically, and the peace negotiations
at Atlantic City will continue

ARMY AND NAVY NEWS
Best Service Column in City.

On his own application, Capt William
r. Rush, who was in command of the
battleship Florida at the capture Of Vera
Cruz In 1914, and who was in charge OF
the operations ashore during the fighting
with the Mexican troops, has been placed
on the retired list of the navy. medal
of honor some time ago was awarded
Capt. Rush for his distinguished conduct
at Vera Cruz.
Capt. Rush was a native OF Pennsyl-
yania and entered the Naval Academy
from louisiana in 1872. He was a lieu
tenant on the flagship Brooklyn, repre-
senting the United States navy, at Spit
head, England. during the Queens jubi-
lee in 1897.
During the war with Spain Capt. Rush
was on the Brooklyn under Capt Fran
els A. Cook. He received commendatory
mention in dispatches.
Capt. Rush had a sea service OF TWEEN
ty-four years to his credit. Recently he
served as commandant OF the navy yard
at Boston.
A quartermaster sergeant OF the Quar-
termaster Corps can accept a commits
sion in the Officers Reserve Corps and
also hold his position as an enlisted man
in the army, according to a decision is
sued by the War Department. The de-
partment also has announced that time
served under this commission while on
active duty will count toward retirement
as an enlisted man.
II the War Department follows the
practice of lS9S-lS99 Of furloughing en-
listed men for the purpose Of serving
under commissions in temporary forces,
then enlisted men granted furloughs
when required for active duty or service
under commissions as officers in the Of
fcers' Reserve Corps would, upon compile
ton OF such duty. revert to their status
as enlisted men unless their enlistment
had expired in the meantime.
Should they be discharged for the pur-
pose Of entering upon active duty or
service under their commissions in the
reserve corps, then re-enlistment would
be required in order to restore them to
the status Of enlisted men.
II has been decided to leave to the
Comptroller of the Treasury the question
whether after relief from active duty
as commissioned officer OF the reserve
corps an enlisted man could re-enter the
army as an enlisted man and draw con-
tinuous service pay for the enlistment
period in which he was serving at the
time Of being ordered to active service
as an officer.

From certain evidences that have already come
to hand, labor seems to understand that the enact
ment OF the so-called "eight-hour day" law was
rank injury and injustice to its cause and inter
ests. And every friend of labor should share
labor's righteous resentment OF it.
The act, as labor knows, does not establish an
elght-hour day, but raises the pay of the already
highest-paid minority of labor at the expense Of
the majority. 1t does not, of course limit the work
day to eight hours, otherwise it would provide
for the punishment of any man working more than
eight hours. The great mass of workers clearly
understands have already indicated
that what the law provides is this 20 to % per
labor and 20 per cent of all railroad labor and
that the highest paid of all railroad labor leav-
ing the 90 per cent of all labor and 80 per cent
of all railroad labor to look for their interests
anyway they can. AS matter of fact, the lead
erS" who drove the government to its knees in
the enactment of this law-of doubtful validity
were. not thinking Of the welfare of the cause of
labor at the time but solely of their pledge to
per cent of labor to force through this deal by
any means possible.
That is rightly deemed, by nine-tenths of the
intelligent citizens of America as an unspeakable
injustice to the of labor and especially to
the other 80 per cent of railroad employees. Some
of these might desire and deserve more wages
and the railroads might wish ever so much to
give it to them. But how? If this budgeon-
made law stands, the railroads say it will mean
an additional annual expense of $5o,oooo 900. Even
if, by the governments leave, the roads are en-
abled to distribute this burden among all the con-
sumers of the country by raise in freight rates.
and therefore living cost, it wouldn't seem to help
the case of the 80 per cent. Neither the govern
ment the people would wish to continue the
process of raising freight rates to meet recurring
wage advances. And railroads have lust one
source Of fincome-transportaton But they may
not fix the price of that. Railroads can pay out
money only they take it in. The disparity in
rates and costs Of late years has helped to shove
one-sixth Of the railroads over into receivership
So IT is, indeed bright prospect that confronts
that other 80 per cent of railroad workers, isn't it2

American Consul Frost at Queenstown, Eng
land yesterday transmitted to the State Depart
ment the following official statement:
"Furness freghter Rowanmore, Baltimore
for Liverpool mixed cargo, attacked by Ger
man submarine 8:45 a. m, October 26 I4o miles
west southeast of Cape Clear After fifty
minute attempt to escape, Rowanmore's steer
ing gear gave away. Master stopped and sig
nailed he was abandoning ship and submarine
continued shelling her. Shelled boats after
latter were clear. No casualties. Submarine
shelled Rowanmore and at 1880 torpedoed
her. Vessel did not sink until 2:4o. Crew
landed Bantry 10 a. m, October 27. Seven
Americans, of whom FIVE are Filipinos. Other
two intelligent Americans, George Murphy,
74o Jefferson avenue Brooklyn, and Albert
Sessler, AZ Sharon street, Boston"
Consul Frost also transmitted the following
THE British transport Marina of Glas-
gov, was sunk by gun FIRE without warning at
3 p. m, October 28 100 miles west of Cape
Clear Thirty-four of the crew of Io4 were
rescued. Two boats missing. The
was said to be composed of British and Ameri-
cans. The survivors were landed at Crook
haven"
In these reports, Consul Frost seems to have
paved the way for reopening of the submarine
controversy between the United States and Ger
many
And the most startling feature of his state
ments is the declaration that the submarine shelled
the in small boats leaving the Rowanmore.
If this declaration is borne out by proof the case
of the Rowanmore undoubtedly will develop into
a matter of serious consequence. However, Con-
-. l. - L
first information of the disasters and subsequent
information may dispel the more serious aspects
of the
The sinking OF the Marina probably will be
ignored by this government Mr.. Frost states that
the vessel was in the transport service Therefore
she may be classed as a ship of war
The most startling feature of the sinking of the
two ships is in the evidence that the ruthless
fare of the Teuton submarines again is in full
swing.
Even though the cases Of the Rowanmore and
Marina disposed OF upon fuller and more &C
curate evidence that the U-boat commander COM
piled with the rules laid down by this govern
ment, the menace to the friendly relations between
the United States and Germany will not be re-
moved.
This menace forcby brought to the at
tenton of the American people just short time
ago when a German submarine was in operation
near coast 1t then became apparent that as
long German U-boats are engaged in sinking
merchant ships their commanders risk violating
those pledges of the German government upon
which its friendly relations with our government
are based. The truth of this fact is strikingly
emphasized in the cases of the Rowanmore and
Marina.
