State Militia Ordered Out For Active Service
MORE IRISH REBELS PAY
PENALTY OF DEATH, DUBLIN
DUBLIN, May 9.—Another four
men were shot today by orders of the
court martial which found them
guilty of treasonable conspiracy
against the government and the aid
ing and abetting of the King’s ene
mies.
These men are Cornelius Colbert,
Edmund Kent,- Michael Mullen ana
J. J. Huston. All of the mon sen
tenced and shot to death today were
well to do, Kent who is a barrister,
once held a prominent colonial po
sition.
Nineteen others who have already
been sentenced to be shot had thoir
sentences commuted to varying pri
son terms.
| Otherwise Dublin as well as the
rest of Ireland is quiet. Many ot
those who were taken prisoner in
Meath and Louth are awaiting trial
by the court martial. It is possible
that they may receive civil trials al
though this would not be likely un
less civil law is restored.
LONDON, May 9.—Field Marshal
French reports that the total British
casualties in Ireland due to the up
rising number five hundred ana
twenty, most of those being
wounded.
LONDON, May 9.—The trial it
Sir Roger Casement is set for to
morrow. A number of counts from
treasonable conspiracy to murder j
are against the well known former I
British consul, and although he will 1
receive a civil trial It is almost cer-!
tain that he will be convicted. Pa
pers here have a very vindictive spi
rit towards Casement who is blamed
for all the trouble that broke out
in Ireland.

GENERAL FEELING MEXICAN
AFFAIRS GROWING SERIOUS
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 9.—
The Mexican crisis is acuto. Presi
dent Wilson today has ordered the
Texas, Arizona and New Mexico mi
litia to report to General Funstoi
tor active service. Two rogiment;
of regular infantry are also reported
to have been ortlered to the border.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 9.—
Secretary of War Bakor declares
| that the Big Bend outbreak by Mex
ican bandits emphasizes the danger
is possible from similar outbreaks.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 9.—
Arrendondo the Mexican ambassador
, today had a long conferonce with
Secretary Lansing wherein he again
renewed his request for the with
drawal of the American troops under
Pershing from Mexico. He charges
that the Big Bend and other raids
were organized in Texan soil and do
liberately fomented for the sake 01
securing war with Mexico.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 9.—
There is a general feeling through
out the country which is clearly re
flected In official circles that Mexican
SENATE WILL NOT ACCEPT
ARMY BILL OF CONFERENCE
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 9.—
The senate refused to accept the
emasculated army hill that came
from the conference committee
which finally eliminated many of the
more militarist features of the
Chamberlain bill. , After a short de
bate marked by strong preparation
1st speeches wherein no one would
admit that the modified Army Bill
suited them, it was sent back to the
conferees.
The senate also will not accept
the nitrate plant bill of the House.
This bill Includes an appropriation
for the. government establishment
and manufacture of a, plant for pro
ducing nitrates from the atmospheric
nitrogen and by means of a hydro
electric plant to be established at
some favorable location.
Although this was modified in con
ference and Is a favorite of the
House, the Senate refused to budge
and sent the moasure also back to
the conferees.
With the Clarke amendment eli
minated and making the act practi
cally meaningless and worthless for
the purpose obviously intended, the
Senate accepted tho Phllllplne bill
of the House.
This bill goes not further than ap
proving of Phllllplne Independence
when the nation is ready to be inde
pendent. Clarke endeavored to cor
rect the obvious purposeless wording
of the bill by setting a time limit to
tho American occupation but this
was voted down by a considerable
majority in the House itself.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 9.—
It was the Intention of the Amer
ican Ambassador at Berlin to ob
tain leave of absence for a shon
vacation after the settlemont of the
sumbarine controversy. It is nov*
admitted that while the sinking ot
the Cymric will not affect the rela
tions of the two countries, the mat
ter will need expert investigation
which Gerard can give, and he will
not leave Berlin until that is
finished.
It is admitted that the position
of Gerard in Berlin during the nego
tiations just concluded has been
most trying and difficult, chiefly on
account of an anti-American feeling
which the Germans who deemeo
themselves wronged by the United
States, made no effort to conceal.
I PORT SAID, May 9.—German
| aeroplanes from the Turkish forces
in Palestine aeroplaned this city last
j night. The raid did little damage
and the hostile aviators weiro soon
driven off.
It is announced that the Senai Pe
ninsula is completely free of hostile
tribeniren and Turkish forces al
though they are still a strong force
' in Palestine.
The situation is satisfactory.
FINALLY SETTLE.
PITTSBURGH, May 8.—Pour
thousand Westinghouse company em
ployees have resumed work under
I agreement. A final settlement is to
[be made this evening.
affairs have suddenly grown serious.
Tho raid upon Texan territory is al
most certain to be followed by active
intevention although no intimation
has so far been given of tho govern
ment's intention in this regard.
Tho raid is held to show that Car
ranza's control of tho situation is a
myth, and demands stronger steps
be taken to prevent a recurrence.
THIRD KRAUSE TRIAL
BEFORE DISTRICT COURT
JUNEAU, Mat 8.-—The third count
in the aeries of indictments return
ed against Krause, the man accused
of the murder of Christie, began
today. After trials for kidnapping
and impersomating an officer,
Krause is today being tried for using
mails with intent to defraud.
The real case against Krause which
the government is anxious to press is
that of the murder of Christie the
Treadwell foreman. llut as the
body of the man be is accused of
lulling has not been found, and in
fact it is not known whether he is
alive or dead, there seems but a
poor chance of getting him for
murder, although at leact one of the
Juneau papers has been trying to
work up. a strong sentiment againsr
the defendant.
RAILROADERS PLAN A
STRIKE CONVENTION
CHICAGO, May 9.—A special joint
convention of railroad men may be
called in order to formulate effective
plans for a struggle with the rail
roads in the event of their being
refused the eight hour day as is sale
to have been determined upon.
The men will meet somo time dur
ing the present month as matters
may reach a climax at any time.
There is a marked suspiciousness
growing of any effort to compromise
the demands of the railroaders.
DRYS PLAN NEW AND
STRIOTER PROHIBITION LAW
SPOKANT, May 9.—The prohibi
tionist plan a new and stricter dry
law in the state. They say that the
operation of prohibition has been
shown to all to be so satisfactory
that there will be little or no oppo
sition to making tho law absolutely
prohibitive in every sense of the
word. The advocates of a stricter law
point to the expressions of approval
from many who formerly openly de
cided to throw in their lot with the
wets, but who since have admitted
their mistake.

RUSSIANS SAY GERMANS ARE
LEAVING DVISNK LINES
PETROORAD, May 9.—The fight
ing on the eastern theater of war
has been proceeding with little
violence except at the Dvinek ana
Tarnopol sectors where continuous
fighting regardless of weathor condi
tions but with very indefinite results
have been proceeding for a month or
more.
Interest is heightened in the
Dvlnsk fighting by the report from
the field headquarters that the Ger- 1
mans were reported by Russian air- \
men to have begun evacuating the
villages at the back of tbe Dvinsk
front. This Is taken to indicate
that the German troops under von
Hlndenbeirg are expecting a more In
tense move upon the part of th6
Russians and are seeking a better
position for a defensive.
VIENNA, May 9.—The Russians
are gathering to the north of Gali
cia with the evident intention of pre
paring for any Austrian or German
offensive that may soon with better I
weather conditions begin.
The more cordial relations between
the. Central Powers and Rumania is
making Russia suspicious of the
latter country, and they are massing
no men any more close to the Buko
wlna border although just north ot
It on their own soil they have a big
torco encamped.
Weather conditions on the east
are now Improving; the snows have
?as8od away but some sections still
luffer from floods.
