DCBVI". May 5, via London, May 6.
Justice is being dealt out to the Sinn
Feiners on the pure facts proved by in
contestable testimony regarding their
active . participation in the recent re
bellion. Suspicion is not enough for a
courtmartia! to condemn any man. and
vengeance for the killing of soldiers
or the destruction of property does not
enter the minds of the military Judges.
There is no "dragooning to death'
of the rebels.
The Associated Press today obtained
first-hand information! of the entire
system of charge, evidence, trial and
sentence in the cases of the men cap
tured during the fighting or who sur
rendered after the collapse of the ris
ing. As soon as a rebel falls into the
hands of the authorities his identity
is established and the evidence is re
corded of the circumstance in which he
is taken. The reports of officers and
.soldiers concerned in the capture are
written down. The prisoner is placed
in confinement. Then a preliminary
itwiuiry is held, and lawyers draw up
the charge.
Field Courtmartlal Sita. .
The next process is the formation of
a field general courtmartial. of which
three are sitting to dispose of cases
rapidly. Each court is composed of
three superior army officers. Only one
of the nine 3udges participated in the
suppression of the rebellion, so it can
not be alleged that the officers act
ing as judges will bring prejudice to
bear arising from their personal feel
ings.
Before the prisoner is brought before
the court the charge against him is
read in full in order that the accused
man may prepare to defend himself
when facing the judges. He has no
legal defender, but should he desire to
call wltneses the court immeUiately
calls them to testify in complete free
dom. 1
The court sita in a barrack-room, un
surrounded by the wigs, gowns or cere
monlal of the usual civil courts.
The first proceeding is the reading o
the charge. Then comes testimony for
the prosecution, after which the pris
oner pleads in defense if he wishes, or
admits his guilt.
Final Judgment Speedv.
The judges then consider the fact
and deliver judgment. Should sentenc
on a rebel be the supreme penalty of
death, as has been the case in several
instances, the prisoner is asked whether
there are any relatives or friends he
would like to see. If so, they imme
diately are brought to hie place of con
finement. Ho also is permitted to hay(
the services of a clergyman,1 who re
mains with him until just before the
(sentence Is carried out.
Meanwhile the Judgment is laid be
fore Sir John Maxwell, the commander-in-chief
of Ireland, for confirmation.
General Maxwell is humane, but he has
a strong will combinad with a judicial
mind and strict sense of duty to his
country. He never has failed to peruse
the evidence himself before putting the
final seal on a 6entence, but then he
decides quickly. He is inclined to len
iency where the facts permit him to
exercise it. as i3 shown in several in
stances since the trials of the rebels
began.
The confirmed judgment is promul
gated by an army officer and the fol
lowing morning the condemned -pris
oner is shot. The execution is carried
out in the same way as in the field.
me prisoner Is Blindfolded and placed
in front of a firing squad, whose first
volley is always ratal.

SIR ROGER CASEMENT.
Sir Roger Casement, Irish agitator and leader of the Separatist party,
who was captured from a German auxiliary which attempted to land arms in
Ireland and which was sunk, has had a remarkable career. He had risen
from the ranks 1n the British diplomatic service. He had been Consul at
various time at Lorenzo Marques, In the Congo Free State; at Para. Peru, and
had been Consul-General at Rio Janeiro. He was created knight In 1911.
He accomplished wonderful work in suppressing atrocities in the Congo Free
State and in the Putomayo district in Peru. At the risk of his life he ef
fectually ended the brutal practice of scflurging the natives employed In the
rubber trade, and for this received the commendation of the civilized world.
Soon after the war he returned to Ireland and declared himself in opposition
to the war and was next heard from as having been received by the German
Foreign Office. The British government put a price on his head and Sir
Roger accused the British Ambassador to Norway with having conspired
with his valet to seize him and send h im to England.

HOOD RIVER. Dr.. May 6. (Special.)
At no time in the history of Hood
River, perhaps, have weather conditions j
so affected the moods of residents of
the apple valley as today. With , a
etronfr west wind driving thin sheets
of rain early this morning, the pros
pects for a celebration of official Blos
som day tomorrow seemed far removed.
As the day advanced, however, the skies
cleared of the dense cloud banks, and
with the appearance of sunshine the
spirits of Hood River citizens bright
ened, and it now looks as if the showers
of last night and this morning will
make the tour of valley roads more
pleasant, as the dust has been settled.
If the rains are of longer duration
the apple crop may be affected. Grow
ers, however, are of the opinion that
no damage has been done so far.
The rains that have prevailed be
tween here and Portland may make a

Scores of visitors have already ar
rived to see the blossoms. If the
weather is suitable the valley roads
will be lined tomorrow with automo
biles.
CHARLES E. HARDIN DEAD

TACOMA, Wash.. May 6. (Special.)
J. A. Young, upon his return from
San Bernardino, Cal., admitted to
police officials here today that he
swindled P. I. Fransioli, of this city.
out of $2500 and that he took even
larger sums from other Pacific Coast
grain dealers. one Portland firm
loslne 5600 throuerh his game, it is
said. Young defended himself by
saying that he only preyed on the
wealthy and never took a cent from a
person who needed it.
Young confided that he had "been
Mayor and postmaster of a Utah town
and when he met with business
reverses he started out on his career
of getting easy money. His boy and
girl had become accustomed to luxuries,
he xaid. and he could not bear to cut
them off from the things they loved
and an education. They are attending
hich school at present In fcan Diego.
The prisoner s modus operanai ac
cording to ills alleged confession to
officers, borne out by nis own state
ment. is that he procured C. O. D,
shipment on grain or hay from a pros
perous and well-known farmer or
rancher and tnen wouia go to xne
destination of the shipment and repre
sent himself as owner, showing i
fnrsred bill of lading, according to the
police. He would gain a standing
through familiar use of the rancher's
name and would be paid an advance or
total on the shipment, tnen in tne
vards. or rolling toward its destination
and would depart before protest came
from the owner. A shipment from
Yakima of several cars or nay last
October to Tacoma resulted in tn
$2500 advance from Mr. Fransioli.
