ATTORNEY COLLAPSES
Sir Roger Easements Lawyer Ex-
hausted Making Impassioned Plea.

London, June 2S.-Today's session
of the trial was brought to a sudden
and dramatic close while summing up
for the defense Mr.. Sullivan collapsed
as he was in the midst of an impas-
stoned appeal and the court adjourned
until tomorrow morning. At that time
the defense will continue with its plea.
The defense closed it's case without
offering any more witnesses and Alex
ander Sullivan, chief counsel for Case
ment, began his address to the jury.
Sullivan commended that Easements
activities in Germany were merely a
continuation of his efforts to organize
Nationalist volunteers in the interest
of home rule. He denied Easement
had any intention of using his Irish
brigade to fight England
Not one of these recruits ever fired
a shot for him." said Sullivan. Not
one ever saw service for Germany"
Sullivan became SO exhausted in the
midst of his address that he was I'M
able to continue.

IT'SWISHY-
Uncle Joe Severely Raps Will

Feeding Soothing Syrup to
Bandits Avails Nothing.

Washington, June 2S.-President
Wilson's handling of the Mexican
problem is a "dilly-d daily, wishy-washy,
hog-wallow policy" Uncle Joe Cannon
today declared in the house. If he
were president, he said. he would
establish a military government in
Mexico City and support it by force
until a Mexican could be found who
could maintain peace and order.

apparently under great nervous strain
and trembling as though he had the

debt of gratitude I owe to many an
Irish friend and sympathizer who

Still Holds Cause Dear.
1.-The attorney general of England
thought it consistent with the tradi-
lions of which he is the public repre-
sentative to make a thinly yelled al

forward no evidence in this case from

and 1, gentlemen as laymen, would
have supposed that he would scrupu-

HOUSE WILL NOT GO
The Mayor Declines to Attend Gas
Hearing at Independence.

Although several Kansas mayors
have indicated they will attend hear
ing at independence tomorrow,
through which Attorney General S. M.
Brewster may seek to dissolve the
Kansas Natural Gas company receiv-
ership, Mayor ]. E. House will not be
with them. The mayors headed by
Mayor c. w. Green of Kansas City,
Kan, will go to Independence co
urge a sale of the gas company's
property to some party who will prom
Use to furnish as much gas as Is de-
manded next winter.
Mayor House this morning received
a telegram from Mayor Green an
nouncing the purpose of the indie
pendence hearing and urging him to
attend. The mayor in characteristic
style explained why he would decline
to attend the meeting.
1.-THE presence of the mayor of To-
peka at that conference would have
no more effect than the presence of
the mayor of Kansas City, Kan {,
Mayor House declared. THE res
ence of the mayor of Kansas City,
Kan, will have no effect. The mayor
of Topeka declines to make any
grandstanding trips at the expense of
the taxpayers. When an official de-
cides to grandstand,' he should do so
at his own expense"

of course. there is little danger of
anything like an uprising on the part
of the MeXicans who are congregated
in such relatively small numbers in
the cities in this section of the coun-
try and throughout the southwest.
But the action of the chief of police
OF Wichita in deciding to eonfiscate
all guns and knives carried by Mexi-
cans in his jurisdiction has the ear
marks of being a precautionary meas
ure of the right sort and one that
might we'll be followed by the authori-
ties in other cities. The carrying of
such weapons is contrary to state law
and city ordinances. not only as far as
Mexicans are concerned but in respect
to all other people in the state. And.
as a matter of fact. why confine the
confiscation of concealed weapons
merely to those in the possession of
the Mexicans? This is as good a time
as any for a general cleanup in this
particular.

NO POLICY CHANCE
q. s. Will Insist on Former De-
mands to Mexico.
Carranza May Insist American
Troops We're Responsible.

Washington. June 2S.-There was
nothing to indicate today that the
Washington governments position had
undergone any change. Officials still
expect President Wilson to go to con-
gress tomorrow if Carranza failed to
act or replied unfavorably. Anything
short of immediate release of the
American troopers will be unsatis-
factory. No suggestions or proposal
of negotiations in this regard will be
accepted.
Mr.. Rodgers's statement that Car
rama Officials appeared to be conduct
ing an inquiry into the Carrizal clash
is interpreted here as indicating
rather that the reply would support
previous assertions that American
troops were responsible than that a
change of attitude is necessary.
Cover Army Emergency.
Washington, June 28.-The sum OF
$27, $4,000 was appropriated today By
the house in an urgent deficiency bill
to cover army and navy expenditure
in connection with the American ex.

pretty cheek and another and then her
confused little head was or Brad's
shoulder and he was explaining very
gravely.
-'Il tell you exactly what 1 know:
then there will be no misurderstand-
ing. This morning we had word that
certain check we had honored was
worthless-that is, the person who
made it out had ordered payment
stopped l am telling you very SIM
ply so you will follow. When people
order payment to be stopped it is be-
cause the check has bee n lost or stol-
en- and may get into the hands of per-
sons to whom it does not belong. Well,
L asked Jones. the cashier, about it
and he told me that he had honored
the check because you had presented
it He also told me that when you
came into the bank you asked him not
to let me know that you called and to
say nothing about the check. The
amount was not large and as far as
the amount goes it doesn't signify, but
1t puts Jones in a. bad light to have
accepted the check without absolutely
knowing that the person who present
ed the check was honest. I'd patch it
up If 1 understood you better. But
something is wrong somewhere or YOU
would have told me about it. 1t isn't
too late. Molly, for heavens sake,
tell me who is this Jane Daw and how
did you get into possession Of checks
de out to hero
Molly sat up very straight and ex-
planned infinitely about the story she
had written, the check and the loss
or the purse. And then" she con-
tnued, after I had telegraphed and
asked the editor to stop payment
found the purse after all. l was so
glad had been so happy and ex-
cited that l didn't know what 1 was
doing and that's probably why 1
dropped the purse into the tea caddy
and never found it till We were max
ing afternoon tea. The very next day,
hurried down to the bank and got
that nice Mr. Jones to give me the
morey, and of course 1 told him not
to tell you, because 1 didn't want you
to know I had been writing l
thought 1 would write some day and
tell the editor not to bother to do any
thing about the check as I had found
it. oh, dear, I think banking is very
hard to understand. If 1 ever get to
be really truly writer and have many
checks come for my stories, 1 do hope
you'1l take care of the business side of
things"
well, rather" was Brad's reply,
''and when you get an answer from
the magazine there will probably be a
new check. Let me have that before
you start to do any more banking on
your own account, and maybe then l
can straighten things out But here
after, remember, I'm the banker of
this family. But I'm as proud as

Threat of 'ePen" for Life Causes Man
to Find Glasses.

Two old men are in the big pen in
the city jail and until today they quar-
relied constantly. One of them was
picked up for an unmentionable crime
in the city park. The other, c. A. Ma
gill, was arrested on the charge of IN
sanity but he was released today.
Yesterday there were just the two men
in the Jail and the one called the
jailer, Frank PARCELS, and complained
that his spectacles had been stolen.
Magill denied that he had stolen them.
He made his story stick temporarily
Later PARCELS went into the cell
again. "Magill,'' he said, unless you
produce those glasses in five minutes
I'm going to send you to the peni-
tertiary for life
Magill walked over to a bunk and
pulled the spectacles out from between
a blanket and the mattress.
