I Sir John Dickinson, presiding magis
L.t at the conclusion of tho preliminary
V itnTiTig Jn Bow street pollco court this
Both Sir Hoger and his soldier confed
rate will now go trial for their lives In
h. Ulah Court of Justice. If convicted.
t-tlMr probably will bo sentenced to death.
Casement ueillh nvii uiu ijuviivkvej iiu-
oorded his rank of being hanged with a
liken cord.
The Magistrate's, decision was nnnounccd
jfter tho Crown, at a brlof so-slon today,
Jiid completed tho framework of Us enso
alnst the two accused men, Counsel for
' Casement and Bailey, during tho threo days
ef the preliminary hearing, contented
themselves chlclly with cross-examining
witnesses for tho Crown, reserving their
actual defense for the trial later.
The nature of Casement's defenso Is still
mystery. Counsel for Bailey will attempt
to show that the former Irish soldier knew
nothing of tho character of tho undertak
ing upon which he embnrked In a German
U-boat and speedily Informed British au
thorities of the plans to foment a rebellion
tfhen ho landed on tho Irish coast.
BAILEY HEVEAL3 PLANS.
.Constable Carter, cross-examined by
counsel for Bailey, said that when Bailey
was arrested ho declared ho had Important
information to give tho police. Tho purpose
of this testimony was to show that Bailey
knew nothing of CasementW-plans to lead a
rebellion until ho reached tho Irish coast.
U and was -willing- to nlcl the Government as
loan as ho had an opportunity.
Sergeant Bustwlck, of tho Irish constabu
lary, testified that Bailey, after his arrest,
informed tho officers at tho barracks of tho
plans to land an expedition from tho Ger
man auxiliary Aud.
Bustwlck Bald that Bailey, beforo giving
him news of tho expedition, asked that ho
fee guaranteed protection and freedom. In
ipector Britten, of tho constabulary, re
sponded that ho could guarantee protection,
hut not freedom.
Brltton followed Bustwlck In tho witness
lox, corroborating his story nbbut tho cir
cumstances under which Bailey confessed.
Bailey, ho said, fully described tho equip
ment of tho y.ud and tho plan of tho Ger
mans to land on April SI. Ho expressed
ths greatest surprise when tho Inspector
told him that the Aud had been sunk after
klng Intercepted by nn Admiralty sloop.
Bailey also gavo tho pollco Information
about tho plans of the Sinn Felncrs, Britten
laid. He told how tho rebel leaders planned
to seize Dublin castlo nnd hold it until the
arrival of the supplies of ammunition from
the Aud, hoping then to gather enough ro-
crults to hold Ireland against any nrmy
England would unro to send. Britten said
gis did not promise Immunity from prosecu-
ji .Uat ho did pledge himself to obtain the
Sltit possible treatment for tho prisoner.

fitho defense to Its presentation.

Office, testified to the previous good record

serving In an Irish regiment
MAPS MADE IN BERLIN.
Maps found In the possession of Sir Roger
Casement support tho contention that tho
plans for tho Irish rebellion originated in
the German "War Office, Lleutenant'Colonel
Gordon, of tho British War Office Intelligence-Department,
testified today.
Gordon said he had examined maps of
Ireland carried by Casement when ho
landed from a German submarine nnd that
none of them was printed In Great Britain.
They gave certain details ns to landscape
that showed they had been made under
the direction of tho German War OfTlco
and thus supported tho belief that the
f- .German Government played an Important
pari in tne scneme lor the rebellion.
Colonel Nicolas Bclalow, representing the
Russian War Office In Londpn, was called
to the witness box and asked to examine
rifle of Russian manufacture taken from,
the hold of the German auxiliary and
which accompanied Sir- Roger on his expe
dition to Ireland and was sunk oft tho coast.
Colonel Belalew said the rifle was of tho
type of 1905, A scabbard and bullet handed
to the witness were not of Russian make,
ha said.
Although there wnH no nromlsi nf SAnsn..
llotial developments at today's session, and
deaptte bad weather, another big crowd
surged about tho doors of tho court, many
of them merely curious to get a peup at the
famous prisoner, whose" alleged plotting In
i Germany had done so much to stir up civil
itrlfa In Ireland.
Sir RoKer showed, more anxletv than on
the two preceding days when ho took his
plaoa In the prisoner's dock, but as usual
ye was prepared to take voluminous notes,
lor ha carried a sheaf of .note paper under
ola arm.
The prisoner's hair was rumpled and his
; f face was lined, and altogether ha looked
tuuufiu jib naa naa very.jme rest aunng

Tho troop movement, said by Mexican

U. S. FORCES CARRANZA
TO LESSEN MINING TAX
Prohibitive Levy Will Be Modi
fied to Permit Resumption
of Operations
WASHINGTON, May 17. Oeneral Car
ranza, Influenced by Amcrlcnn protest, has
Indicated his willingness to modify his re
cent mining tnx decree. How far this will
go to removo tho objection of American
Interests with millions Invested Is not yet
known, although officials hero thought to
day Cnrrnnza would mako sufficient con
cessions to render It possible to operate
many of the closed mines.
The State Department has been quietly
working through Consul Itodgers, at Mexico
City, to get these concessions. The tax as
now levied Is progressive, and, mining men
claim, tends to become confiscatory on the
larger holdings.
A new Issue of Carranza paper money
hns been floated. The de facto Government
Is striving to have this accepted at 10 cents
on tho dollar, though tho present Carranza
money Is worth only 2 cents.

comers, laying aside their mufti and armed
at least with enthusiasm, started "rookie"
life In earnest today when the necond twe
weeks' Instalment of the Chevy Chase MIlU
tnry Camp for Women began. Girls, many
of them "buds" and social favorites, be
sides learning or relearnlng the rudiments
of knitting, bandaging and cooking, BtartA
tho task of breaking In some of tha Uni
forms, which, by the way, do not always
fit, and above all are letting the subptanco
of the first day's lecture sink deep Into
their minds.
The lecture was given by General Georgs
E. Barnctt, formerly stationed at tho Phila
delphia N'avy Yard, and commander of th
United States Marina Corps, who emphatic
ally said:
"Americans havo an exaggerated opinion
of their own strength because of the method
of teaching history In our schools. Another
cause Is the much abused phrase. 'Yankee
ingenuity,' which allows us to sit snugly
hnppy and content while other nations ac
cumulate vast armies and machines of
war."
Tho American method of teaching history
Is wrong, the general explained. "Wo are
toifi so often"," ho said, "that ono Yankeo
licked threo Englishmen or that 25 Yankees
whipped 300 Spaniards, and other such ex
aggerated statements.
"We get to the point thnt wo actually
think we can raise nn nrmy of 1,000,000
men within a week thnt could battle suc
cessfully ngalnst nn army of 3,000,000
trained men."
