SIR ROGER CASEMENT FAMOUS IRISH REBEL ARRAIGNED III LOHDON

LONDON, May 15. Charged with . high treason, "both within and without the realm of England," Sir Roger Casement, who wn captured while trying to land arm and ammunition on Irish soil from a German auxiliary, and a companion Daniel Julian Bailey, were arraigned here today in police court. Bailey, who escaped at the time of Sir Roger's capture, was captured on Sunday in Wandsworth. He had been living in disguise for more than three weeks, while Scotland Yard scoured the British Isles for'him.

la Fimeui Prisoner. - Sir Roger, who' is one of the most famous prisoners arraigned since the outbreak of the war, was described as having no occupation and no fixed place of abode. Bailey waB described as a soldier. The charge against the defendants was that they "did on divers occasions" between November, 1914, and April 21, 1916, unlawfully, maliciously and traitorously commit high treason within and without the realm of' England, in contemfpt of our sovereign lord king and. his laws, to the evil example of others and in like case contrary to the due allegiance of the said defendants." Prisoner Enjoy Trial. The prisoners, especially Sir Roger, seemed to be in excellent health and spirits. They were escorted to the court from London Tower under military guard. The trip was made secretly in order to prevent any untoward demonstration in the streets. There were accommodations for only about sixty spectators in the court, but despite the limited space a great crowd clamored fpr admission and the police on duty outside the court had a difficult time in restraining them. Since his arrest Sir Rogers has devoted considerable time preparing data to be used in his own defense. He attempted to secure Sir, Edward Carson, the leader of the Ulster Unionists, to defend him, it was reported, but failed., -If this report was'; true,, the circumstances presented' a strange anomaly for Sir Edward Carson is at the head of an Irish faction which is bitterly opposed to home rule for Ireland. (JUTLAND COLLIDES WITH STREET CAR AND HAISLEY'S AUTO Lee (Jutland "gets the watch" for furnishing thrillers for the Sunday afternoon loafers at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon, a machine which he was driving waB struck at the corner of .Eighth and A streets by a street car and by another automobile driven by Chester Haisley, all at the same time and it never even stopped him. Outland was driving west on A street and his view was obstructed by a tight board fence built around the Washington theatre which is being repaired. Outland kept going and escaped without serious injury.The only damage to Halsley's car was a bent fender. MOTHERS ARE HONORED. Mother's day will be observed at the Fairview Methodist church next Sunday. This was announced today by Rev. J. E. Chamness.

INEXPERIENCED DRIVERS HAVE NARROW ESCAPES

Mistakes made by two men learning iow to drive automobiles resulted in accidents in Richmond yesterday. Marcus Sostmeyer. 607 South Sixth street, while driving his new car up ihe Reid hospital hill attempted to shift into low gear but, instead, applied the reverse with the result that his car backed down a thirty foot embankment into ;swampy gTound just to the north of the old tobacco factory building. The progress of the machine was checked when it came into violent contact with a tree. Some women who were in the car jumped from it

Fonts' Hound Dog Studies to Fulfill Master's Wishes

Any doubting Thomas who questions the ability of the mushroom hound of Charles Fouts to deliver the goods should have interviewed Mr. Fouts today. He was in the city with a mushroom so large that a beer glass would not hold it. and he pointed to it as the latest discovery of his hound in the mushroom zone south of the city. "A good many people thought I was a liar wh4B I said my hound could spot mushrooms, but here's the proof," said Mr. Fouts, as he pulled a mush

"DIMMER" LAW GHOST TO STALK BEFORE COUNCIL

Remember the "dimmer" ordinance? Its ghost will walk again tonight at council meeting. The committee on ordinances will submit a report to the effect that the ordinance is a perfectly good one and that it should now be taken down off the shelf and "reasonably enforced" by the police department, The ordinance committee after studying over a large collection of dimmer ordinances secured from all parts of the country has reached" the conclusion that it is not necessary to specify just how lamps shall be dim med. Chief Goodwin does not believe it will be necessary to make arrests to enforce the dimming of auto lights, except in extreme cases. By. the process of having officers stop motorists who have neglected to dim their Jights and notifying them to observe the ordinance, the chief believes that the desired results can be obtained as motorists are really anxious to comply with the provisions of the measure. A favorable report will be submitted on the ordinance which gives the city the authority to assess benefited property owners a part of the cost of making macadam streets to which a bituminous binder is to be applied. OFFICIALS INSPECT BINDER IN COLUMBUS Building Inspector Hodgin and John McMinn, of the board of public works, inspected street binders at Columbus, O., yesterday, and both of them enthusiastically endorsed the glutrin binder. Glutrin is a waxey fluid made of wood pulp, and it makes the street to which it is applied as hard and durable as granite. It can be purchased for 13 cents a gallon. Three gallons of water ia mixed with each gallon of glutrin, and one gallon of this mixture treats one square yard of street surface. It is applied from the tank of an ordinary sprinkling wagon. The Ohio highway commission seven years ago improved a highway with eighteen kinds of paving materials. Glutrin, in this experiment, has worn as well as certain sections of brick paving. just before it darted down the steep embankment. No one was injured. It was necessary to use a block and tackle to get the car back on the road. Mrs. Horace Iredell, 26 North Nineteenth street, was painfully but not seriously hurt, when her husband, driving a recently purchased car, lost control of the machine on Main street, near the entrance to Glen Miller park, causing it to crash into a tree. The impact threw Mrs. Iredell from the seat to the street. Iredell was not injured. The car was damaged considerably. room weighing almost a pound from sack. "That hound is of the ordinary, good-for-nothing variety, but he's got sense enough to know what any human wants to do. He just follows me around and gets an idea of what I want, and then he gets busy helping me. The first time he was with me gathering mushrooms, he studied my work, and it didn t take him long , to spot a mushroom. Since that time he has become an expert mushroom hound."

GET NEW DRIVER

THIS MAN LOSES CONTROL OF THINGS Better get in some kindling and see that there is some coal In the cellar. Weatherman W. E. Moore saiI today that a cold spell was due here tonight. Tomorrow It will be real cold. It i3 not known how long it will last. Thlswill be a decided reaction from the weather of yecterday which was the 'warmest of. this year.

School was dismissed this noon in time for all Richmond children might see the parade. ALL ELKS NOTICE, HERE'S CANDIDATE FOR YOUR CHAPTER Little William Krueeer wants to join the Elks' club when he gets big so that he can play pool; at least that is what he told his teacher Friday when asked what he wanted to do when he got big. WOMEN MUST LOOK TO THEIR LAURELS; THE WORM TURNS '"The worm will turn." Yes, 'tis true, and this year the silk worm has evidently turned its efforts from the fair to the sterner sex, judging from the number, of silk shirts seen on the Richmond streets yesterday. Silk shirts of heavy tube silk, striped and designed in the newest yellow, orchid, ' green knd- porcalairif?blue shades seem to be the vogue here, and most of them are worn with soft cellars. - v, ' COST OF WALKING GOES RIGHT UP DUE TO FIGHTING Prices of shoes have advanced 25 per cent in three months and will keep on going up Richmond shoe merchants said today. The war isn't the only reason , but it is the principal one. ine demand for leather Is greater than the supply because of the decrease in the number of cattle here and the lack of imported leather from aoroan. 1 ne cost of tanning materials has increased. DID THIS CHAP KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING Forty species of birds mentioned in Shakespeare's plays isn't the only proof that the dramatist liked nature. A seed man in Pittsburg counted the varieties of flowers named in Shakespeare's works and this spring put out a Shakespeare's catalogue. This man combined literature and" business. How many species of animals did the dramatist mention? We pass the buck to the next man. Y6u might read his plays before you atend the Shakespeare celebration to be given by clubs of Richmond on the Earlham campus Saturday, May 20. DON'T HANG YOURSELF ROPE TOO VALUABLE TO THE JUNKMAN Old rope, used in making strong paper, is in greater demand than for years. An appeal from the government has been posted in the post offfce asking citizens to save old rope along with old paper and rags. Junk dealers will gladly buy rope now. A large part of the old rope used by American paper makers came from Europe before the war started. Paper bags made from old rope are stronger than cotton bags, it is said. COMPANY ENJOYED BY ALL IN MISERY SAYS OLD ADAGE In spite of the miserable life a Richmond dog had to lead during the past year, Township Assessor Boyd reported today that canines became more popular in this township than ever before. An increase of over 100 dogs was reported by the assessors. The owners have also ' been more prompt in paying dog taxes, he said. There are 1,100 dogs in this township as reported by the deputy assessors. Last year there were only 1,000, the assessor said. COFFEE ROUTS BEER NORTH PLAINFIELD, N.

TRIBUTES TO DR.

Paying tribute to Dr. David W. Dennis, with whom he had been associated In educational work for a number of year, President Robert L. Kelly, of . Earlham college, said: "It Is not possible for me to put down in black and white my estimate of Prof. Dennis. He belonged to a small group of God's choicest personalities. '"Some 'men sharpen your intellect, a smaller, number reinforce your- life purposes, and a few draw out your deepest affection.

I loved him how much t can not tell you. "Every deed he ever performed, every word he ever spoke, every thought one caught behind the words waa worthy. I never detected anything unworthy, whatever the provocation. I do not think there waa anything insincere In his life. In him there was no guile."

S. Edgar Nicholson, editor of the American Friend, said: "David W. Dennis was a man who was farseeing enough to have lived ahead of his ago. Religiously, educationally and scientifically he made a distinct contribution to the world. He was a loyal member of the Society of Friends, who, by his devotion, amid difficulties, has made the denomination his debtor. He has left a place which it will take more than one man to fill."

BRITISH SOLON PREDICTS WAR'S END IfJ NOVEMBER

"It is my opinion that the European war will end not later than November of this year. In the event the war is not ended by that time I am convinced' that it will continue at least two years longer."

"I do not believe that the war will end with a complete defeat of the forces of the Central Empires by the Allied forces, but I believe conditions will be such, before the end of this year that the Central Empires will offer terms of peace which will be acceptable to the Allies," Mr. Alden said. Mr. Alden is one of the intimate friends of Lord Bryce, former British ambassador to the United States and author of the "American Commonwealth." Represents Friends Unit. "I am now representing Lord Bryce in the United States in behalf of his movement to study and remove the causes of war," Mr. Alden said.
