the formal charge, in connection with
which be reviewed the knight's life
history. His eyes roved, occasionally
resting, on the presiding magistrate,
then on the spectators.
Prosecutor Bmlfh declared that Case
ment not only planned the Irish re
bellion, but also plotted to land several
expeditions In Ireland, and on the
British coast. He said that exchanged
English prisoners would testify to the
truth of this assertion.
Smith read Bailey's statement cor
roborating the charge of Caeement hav
ing seduced imprisoned Irish soldiers
in Germany, and showing that the sub
marine in which Casement, Bailey and
others went to Ireland waa the U-19.
Boat Upset la Surf.
Bailey, the attorney general said,
admitted Joining the Casement bri
gade formed among the prisoners in
order to get out of Germany.
"We went to the war office,"
Barley's statement read, "and were
sent aboard the submarine U-19. Upon
sighting Tralee, Ireland, were told that
our visit was in connection with the
Irish volunteer movement. Nearing
the -oast. Casement and myself were
transferred to a collapsible boat,
which was overturned in the aurf. We
waded ashore and reached Tralee,
where Casement went to a newspaper
office and asked If the commanding of
ficer had arrived. He was told 'no.
"I was born in Dublin and was a
member of the original expeditionary
force to France. I was captured by
the Germans In September, 1914."
The attorney general then stated
that the volunteers were told that
Casement would land his brigade and
defend Irelan,: against England in event
Germany won a sea battle. If Ger
many lost the war, the brigade mem
bers, the prosecutor said, were prom
Ued $50 or $100 each and free passago
to America.
Germans Sent Floating Arsenal.
The German auxiliary sunk off Ire
land when Caseaient landed carried 20,-
000 rifles, 1,000.000 rounds of ammuni
tion, 10 machine guns and many bombs
for. the rebels, Smith declared.
As Smith proceeded. Casement grew
fidgety. When the prosecutor said
that Casement had been knighted for
his services in behalf of the British
government Casement hung his head.
Smith outlined Casement's capture.
He reverted to the knight's activities
!n Germany and his endeavors to wean
Imprisoned Irish soldiers away from
the cause of the allies.
Casement smiled at that and wroto
on a pad cn which he was taking
notes: "They did so at their own
request."
A Tm-w Prisoners Were Seduced.
Smith asserted that the vast major
ity of the Irish captives treated (Juse
nitnt's overtures with contempt, where
upon they were punished and their ra
tions reduced.
"A few. unfortunately." he said,
"were seduced, including Daniel lia.
lcy." Police Inspector Parker, tlio first
witness, testified that Caseme.it had
not attempted to spare himsvlf when
arrested, but had insisted that .'Jailey
was innocent.
John Robinson, an Irish prisoner ex
changed from a German camp, testi
fied that Casement offered 304 Irish
men In his camp $50 each to desert.
Tlfty Irish Joined Germans.
Robinson testified that SO Irishmen
accepted Casement's overtures and en
listed in the German army.
John Cronln, an exchanged prisoner,
swore that Germany promised to trans
port these deserters to America in the
event of a German defeat.
1 It was observed that Casement's
shoes were without laces. This is a
precautionary measure to prevent him
from committing suicide. """
Daniel O'Brien, an exchanged pris
oner, testified that Father Nicholson
un American priest, aided Casement iri
attempting to seduce 2u,000 Irish pris
oners In the Llmberg camp.

letters, "Watch Out for Xour Constitu
ents." Two full pages are given over
to etchings entitled, "What the timber
companies got Act of August JO,
1912," representing a fine tract of tall
timber, and "what is offered to the
settler," allowing au array of bi
stumps.
The pamphlet gives a brief history
of the land grant, with argument for
enforcement of the original grant in
termingled, it also discusses locators,
under the subheads of "Dishonest lo
cators," "Honest locators," "S. A. D.
Puter" and "Propaganda for appli
cants." Futer Talks About Pater.
Concerning Puter, Puter says:
"Air. S. -v. D. Puier, who located less
than 10 per cent of the 16,000 appli
cations, when he learned of misrepre
sentations being made to the public
lands committee of ti.e house, im
mediately requested to be heard, and
was granted a hearing. He voluntarily
disclosed his entire connection wiln
the matter. He maintained that his
connection with the location of ap
plicants on this land is perfectly
legal and just that ne did uot mis
represent the fats to any person. His
statement before the committee will
convince anyone who reads it."
Sample Contracts Not Shown.
Puter does not, of course, set forth
a sample of contracts made with aome
of the applicants, of which he ad
mitted having made 100 or so, where
by Puter is to be deeded either one
half or one-fourth of the land of the
applicant by paying $i.2J an acre
lor it.
He lays stress upon the first suit
In land tyrant legislation having been
begun by settlers, upon the position
taken by the government regarding
the claimants during the progress of
the forfeiture case, and upon the need
of "conforming to the covenants." He
tenders his advice to congress that
the Chamberlaln-Kerris bill Is of
doubtful constitutionality.
Quotes jFrom C. W. Fulton.
In ins letter to members of con
gress Puter quotes from the address
of C. W. Fulton at tho land grant
conference held at Salem, Or., last
year, to show that Fulton entertained
doubts as to whether the value of the
lands is large enough, to provide any
money for the Oregon school fund.
There la no evidence that the Puter
literature is making any impression,
it seems a case of love's labor lost.
CHIEF NO SHIRT OF
WALLA WALLAS MAKES
CITIZENSHIP PROTEST
Washington, May 15. No Shirt,
chief of the Walla Walla tribe of In
dians, residing on the Umatilla leser
vatlon in Oregon, has written s. vigor
ous appeal in behalf of his people to
Congressman Sinnott, opposing Sanator
Dane's' bill to confer citizenship upon
the Indians.
Attached to the protest are the fin
ger prints of the councilmen of tho
Walla Wallas, supporting the position
of their chief. They are Jim Kan tne,
Willie Wa-ha-ehe, Jim Ah-sa-nee-hlgh,
Weo-you-him-took, Jim - wa - ta - nick,
Na-a-sah, Pah-cah-twie-nur, Louis
Shlppentower, Yellow Jacket, Charley
Woot, Tol-aklne and Charles Joe.
Toung- Indian Bears Messag.
The message did not come through
the mall. It was delivered in person
by Thomas K. Yallup, a young Indian
chosen for the mission by Chief No
Shirt. Congressman Sinnott. who is
not unfamiliar with Chinook, Says Tal
lup Is skodkum tum-tum, which meana
that he has a good heart.
Mr. Sinnott prepared a letter for No
Shirt, to be delivered by Tallnp, in
which he assures the chief there is no
likelihood of the Lane bill being
passed, and that If the house commit
tee should decide to give any hearings
upon it, the Walla Walla chieftain will
be notified in time to be heard.
Hames Confused in His Kind,
No Shirt's protest shows that he has
confused the names of Senator Lane
and Secretary Lane of the Interior de
partment. He was under the impres
sion that the secretary of the Interior
is back of the bill to make the Indians
citizens. Such is not the case. Sena
tor Lane says his bill was in fact
drawn by Indiana, who came her to
urge legislation in their interests.
From which it appears that Indians
like white folks, do not always agree.
No Shirt, in his protest, says that,
as an old man,-with much experience
with his people, be is fearful that the
Indians generally would not make good
use of their property if patents were
issued for their lands. The tendency,
he thinks, would be to mortgage and
barter, in a game for which they would
be 111 matched against the whlta nyaa.)
In the course of the letter he says:
"It took 1000 years to civillxe the
white man. if indeed the race tnui be
regarded as civilised at this time; and
it is not strange that the Indian, in
lees than 200 years, has failed to ab
sorb either conservative ideas or busi
ness principles. It must be remembered
that to ibe Indian neither land nor
money signifies wealth; but to the In
dian today, as to his fathers ta years
gone by, wealth is represented by
horses, saddles, bridles, blankets and
the toggery inherited from .Ma fa-'
thers."
Supplies for Oregon Projects.
Washington, May 15. A. McD.
Brooka, purchasing agent for :he rec
lamation service, has written to Sen
ator Chamberlain with reference to
complaint by a Portland . firm that it
has recently been unable to secure ,
contracts for supplies for the Oregon
projects. He asserts that no dlscrimi-!
nation has been practiced. j
The policy is to give local dealers
on all projects an opportunity to sub
mit proposals," he says. "It is sought
to protect the projects by circularising
jobbing centers at the same time, and
where local dealers were entitled by
right proposals at the right price to
award them the contracts."
To Demonstrate Wool Industry.
Washington, May 16. Special dem
onstration work in the sheep, wool and
mohair industries in the (arming sec
tions of the country, in cooperation
with the states' relation service of the
department of agriculture, is proposed
In an amendment to be offered -o the
agricultural appropriation bill in the
senate by Senator Sheppard of Texas.
He is acking an oppropriation of
$25,000 for this purpose.
Indians Claim More Land.
Washington, May 15. Senator Lane
has introduced a bill appropriating
$10,000 for an investigation biy the sec
retary of the interior concerning the
merits of the claims of Indians "n tho
Warm Springs reservation in Oregon
to adjoining land. The Indians allege
erroneous surveys of the northern and
western boundaries of the reservation
have deprived them of considerable
valuable land.
Dried Fruits for Army.
Washington, May 15. Army specifi
cations governing bids for the con
sumption of dried fruits by the army
have been amended to include th j evap
orated product. This was done at re
quest of Congressman Sinnott, who
was asked to look Into the msiter by
The Dalles Chamber of Commerce.
Cannery on Annette Island.
Washington, May 15. Secretary
Lane of the interior department has
approved a lease to P. E. Harris of
Stattie of a cannery site on Annette
island, Alaska, reserving to the Irdians
3000 feet within which to fish. The

MAY INSTITUTE THE RECALL
Dismissal of School Head Meets
Opposition.
Corvallis. V Or., May 15. Tne one
general topic of discussion in this city
is the removal of R. W. Kirk as su
perintendent of city schools, and there
is open talk of Invoking the recall
acainst members of the board of edu
cation. Mr. Kirk has been superintendent of
schools for seven years and during his
administration the attendance has
grown from 500 to nearly 1300 and h.j
has been very successful and efficient
in his management. Without givin?
any reason for the change the board at
a recent session removed him and
hired J. W. Powers of Seattle. Since
then there has been much open resent
ment expressed and the matter of a
recall of the members of the board of
education is being frely advocated.
As a means to express sentiment of
the people against the action of the
board. Democratic voters are being
urged to write the name of Superin
tendent Kirk at the primary election
for the office of county superintend
ent of schools. The Democrats have
no nominee for the office and if they
write in the name of Mr. Kirk he will
be nominated and run against the Re
publican nominee, and there is much
talk that the people will elect him, re
gardless of party, as a vindication.

ED
ARE BEFORE CHIEFS
V
TO GIVE T
Men Contend They Were Not
Hired by City to Work as
Scavengers,
The cases of the five men of fire
engine company No. 3, suspended Fri
day for refusing to assist other fire
men in cleaning up vacant property ad
jacent to fhe engine house at Sixteenth
and Washington streets, are being
heard by the fire chiefs today.
The men contend that they were not
hited to do "clean-up work," and have
atorneys to represent them. On the
other hand the fire chiefs contend that,
while the work assigned to them may
not have been in line with their regu
lar duties, it was being done by other
firemen and was part of the general
clean-up campaign in which the public
and officials took part.
The men were suspended by Captain
Haynes of the engine company when
the men refused to obey his order to
assist in removing debris from the
property. The property cleaned was
one of the most unsightly in the busi
ness district It is leased by Fisber
Thorsen & Co.. which firm expects to
begin the erection of a building on the
property within two weeks.
One of the men suspended stated
that he was not opposed to assisting
in the clean-up work but was opposed
to doing work on private property.
Fire Marshal Stevens, who had
charge of the clean-up workers of- the
fire bureau, ' explained that Fisher
Tnorsen & Co. did not refuse to clean
up the property, but wanted to delay
the work until the building operations
were begun.
"The clean-up campaign was on,"
said Stevens, "and while we were at
it we saw an opportunity to clean up
the property at Fifteenth and Wash
ington streets. Fisher Thorsen & Co.
eventually would have cleaned up their
property, but we thought we would get
the work done sooner by having the
firemen do it. The firemen generally
were very willing to cooperate, and the
trouble last Friday was the only un
pleasant thlnj? about the entire clean
up campaign."
The chiefs will this aftcrnon attempt
to determine what Is to be done with
the men suspended.
