PRISONERS SENT TO ENGLAND Country Districts in Region . of Outbreak Are Quiet. LEADERS ARE GIVEN UP Terms of TTnconditional Surrender Accepted by Irish Repub- licans Arms Being Turned ; Over at City of Cork. LONDON. May 1. All the rebels in Tublln have surrendered and those In the country districts are doing like wise, according to an official state ment issued this evening. The statement says: "All the rebels in Dublin have sur rendered and the city is reported quite safe. The rebels in the country dis tricts are surrendering to the mobile columns.

"Wlcklow, Arklow, Dunlavin, Bag Jnalstown and New Koss and the coun ties of Cork. Clare. Limerick and Kerry arc generally quiet. The whole of Ul ster Is quiet." DUBLIN, via London. May 1. A re turn to normal conditions is being ac complished gradually in Dublin, and it now is possible to give the first com plete account of the happenings of the last week. Censorship Is Ended. Hitherto, news of the Dublin uprising has reached the outside world in frag mentary form, owing to the "interrup tion of telegraphic communication, the censorship and the frequent conflict of statements, but the collapse of the re belllon has removed these conditions in great part and the story of the uprising from the time It began, last Monday, may now be given In proper sequence, in the light of information obtained from authoritative sources. When the irreconcilable opponents ef British rule in Ireland proclaimed the republic, their move was looked on generally as a mere display of fa natlclsm. It was soon found, however. that it was no mere demonstration but an outbreak which had behind it fair organization and sufficient force to strangle the life of the capital and compel the authorities to send for mill tary assistance from England. Authorities Mot In Dread. At no time, however, did the military er civil authorities consider the re bellion a menace to the government, nor did they have any fears as to their ability to cope with it quickly as soon as its extent became apparent. v hat occurred was as follows: Monday The first move was a dash by members of the Sinn Fein into the general postoffk-e. Many of these men were In the uniform of the Irish vol unteers. a body formed at the time men of Ulster organized against granting home rule 4o Ireland, the object being to resist any attempt by Ulster to op t-oso the .home-rule law. The party worked quietly, compelling all the of ficials to quit their posts while they cut telegraphic communications with the rest of Ireland and with Kngland. The rebels posted sentinels and pre vented any soldiers or policemen from entering the building. Soon afterward firing opened in the neighboring streets, for the rebels im mediately shot down any man in khaki. Rebels Spring Surprise. The authorities, unprepared at first to deal with the uprising, ordered the police and soldiers to retire at once to tiielr quarters, none of them being armed. In the meantime he rebels es tablished themselves at the City Hall, Liberty Hall and St. Stephen's Green and also occupied many houses in Sack ville street and the side streets lead ing to It. Their sentries patrolled blocks in the center of the city and sharpshooters took up positions on the roofs and at the windows of houses. An attempt was made to seize Dublin Castle, but the guard of Royal Irish constabulary and soldiers prevented the rebels from get ting beyond the gate, at which they killed the policeman on duty. The authorities were powerless, with the forces at their disposal, to dislodge or attempt to combat the rebels, who. however, made a great mistake, which eventually cost them dear.

MOST OF PAPERS SILENT German Leaders Are Warned Not to Expect Congress to Take View Different From That of President in Dispute. BERLIN, via London. May 1. Future German-American relations probably can be looked forward to with less ap prehension. The Associated Press is permitted, to make this statement, although dls patches bearing on the nature of the German reply to the American note re- pecting submarine warfare have been topped by the censorship. The deliberations at General Head quarters have been concluded and Am bassador Gerard will leave tonight for Berlin, arriving here Tuesday after noon. The German reply Is expected with little delay, but it Is considered un desirable that preliminary indications of the nature of the note should De published abroad. Decision Hnll With' Hilton. Discussions over the answer to the American note continued touuday at general headquarters without a con elusion being reached, according to au- vicea to the Lokal Anzeiger. The newspapers for the most part still refrain from comment. Theodor Wolff, in the Tagesblatt; Georg Bern hard, in the Vossische Zeltung; Count von Raventlow. In the Tages Zoitung, and the Taglische Rundschau, however, give some consideration to the subject. Herr Bernhard considers the situ ation still grave and voices a warning against too great optimism. He de dares that the final decision "depends solely" on President Wilson. "There would be no greater mis take." he says, "than the expectation that the American Congress might reach a different decision than the President. The time for exercising fluence on the American people and their representatives is past. 1JV is not doubted now that Congress stands be hind President Wilson; the German leaders who have the task of framing the German answer must remember this. Final Settlement Is Hone. 'We could understand any decision. no matter what it is, under the self- understandable condition that it pre serves Germany s dignity. 'But there must be no halfway meas ures, says Herr Barnhard, "and the decision must create a final and en during status." He argues that if it irt impossible to attain with, certainly status that- w;ill endure.

JUDGE TUTHILL YIELDS POINT Jurist Admits He Acted With out Authority in Case. REHEARING TO BE SOON Horace- Line, "The Mountain La bored and Brought Forth Mouse," Quoted by Judge Who Had Called Shakespeare Faker. CHICAGO, May I. tSpecial.) The victory of the Lord Francis Bacon over William Shakespeare la the Circuit Court was short lived. Judge Plchard S. Tuthlll. who delivered a stunning blow to "Bill Shakespeare" 10 days !, announced today that h would set aside his world-famous decree. In which he transferred the Bard of Avon's literary laurels to the brow of Bacon in order that Chief Justice Fred erick A. Smith may hear the case and draw his own conclusions on the freat- est literary controversy the world has ever known. The meeting- of judges in Chief Jus tice femith'a chambers, called to ad Just a matter "affecting the dignity and standing of the court. was no; more than rive minutes long. Jaashze Tuthlll Aswlosrlsea. Half of the 20 Judges or the Circuit Court announced the call, but only five were present during the actual "meet ing." namely: Chief Justice Smith and Judges Jesse A. Baldwin. Thomas Tay lor. Jr.. Oscar M. Torrlson and Richard S. Tuthill. The latter opened the dis cussion by addressing Chief Justice ? nil tli thus: "I want to say. Judge, that if I have been discourteous to you in any way It is my desire to apologise; if I have taken a case to hear that you think you ought to hear I will set aside my decree and you may hear It." I will hear It." replied Judge Smith. That ended the meeting and Judgca Tuthill. Baldwin. Torrlson and Taylor left the room. ,a Judge Tuthill passed through the courtroom into the corridor he quoted from "Ara Poetica" of the Latin poet. Horace, following it with a transla tion, as follows: " 'Parturient montea nascitur rldiculus mus 'the mountains abored and brought forth a ridiculous mouse. If Judge Tuthill bad been sjuoting Shakespeare or Bacon, according to his view of the controversy, he probably would have said. "Much ado about nothing.'" As Judge Baldwin was about to re enter his own chambers he offered the following statement for publication: "Judge Tuthill. 1 understand, has hard feelings toward me for having stirred up the matter. I want to say that there was nothing personal in the part 1 took In this affair. Callnnlosi Is Charged. "1 am head of the Chancery division, and a law Judge called my attention to the fact that there was an appear ance of collusion between the parties in this case. The evidence of collu sion is In the files themselves. They speak for themselves. I merely con- sldered It my duty to bring the matter up on the basis of this evidence." It was announced that Judge Smith will take the matter up within a week and that a hearing will be given soon, probably next Friday. Judge Smith re fused to be interviewed, but Judge Baldwin said that the hearing would be along legal lines and that the ques tion as to whether Shakespeare or Bacon wrote "Shakespeare" would not be passed upon. Judge Baldwin said also that, if Chief Justice Smith should see fit to throw the rase out of court, he would have full power to do so. Case lllagra a Cte 1st rMaja. The suit was filed by attorneys re pesenting Colonel William N. Selig. motion picture magnate, against Colo nel George Fabyan to restrain the 1 ter from publishing a bok which tct forth the code theory that Lord Bacon wrote the plnya and sonnets attributed to William Shakespeare, revealing his Identity only to those who are able to decipher the code In the text of the plays and sonneta. Colonel Selig represented. to tha court that the publication of thin book wouKl Injure the presentation of the works of Shakespeare In motion pictures during the celebration of the Shakespeare ter. centenary. Judge Tuthill granted a temporary injunction, but announced that he wtsa likely to reverse hla ordr. InJsiartloBi rt Aarlde. He informed both parties that Ive aa a student of the subject and had some pieconcelved Ideas on It. He set aside his temporary Injunction April 21. in cluding In his decree an expression rtr his conviction that Bacon wrote "Shakespeare" and that Shakespeare was an ignorant "literary faker."
