f A petition to pardon" Sir Iloger Case
aeht. convicted or nign treason ami sen
tenced to be hanged In Knglana, will re
hire the enthusiastic support of prominent
'Irishmen of Philadelphia, who believe thai
?ta,!ment was actuated by high Ideals and
"tJopled a couro Which he bellevta to be
aebest for h'.s country.
fr'nfunv Irishmen f this city had an lntl-
( acnualnlanco with Sir Iloger and be-
; Hired that he had no other motive than
' Members of Irish-American 'organisations
whose views carry weight In all movements
for" the benefit of the race declare they
vmild slsn such a petition Immediately and
l.iresaed the belief that It would bo em-
'ehittcally approved by all loynl Irishmen
ijttroughout the country.
". Offlclals or several local orRntuzatioim
' h& they would take steps in the matter
within tnc next zi noura. mere is aiso
title of starting a simitar movement In all
Hr cities of the United States.
There .are some who believe that such n
petition, representing the sentiment of the
Irishmen of the United States, would carry
IV (real ei(lli mm iwnniutf fcti uiu ueain

Joseph McCJarrlty, of B412 Springfield ave-
jtie, at whose home Sir Roger Casement
loent several weeks during his visit to thin
country In the fall of 1DH, and prior to
I elf .departure for Germany, declared he
";ould support the petition movement. Ho
tala .in me convicted mans uehair:
."It would bo a good thing for the Irish
f this country to como to the support of
eneof their countrymen In this his tlnm
ef need. It Is about the only thing left
for us to do and whllo I fear It Is too late,
3o. win ieri wmi no euon naa uecn spared
n our part."
"Sir Roger was my guest In lpH, from
the middle of July up to the time of h'.
departure. He was with me the day wb
read of the declaration of war by England.
It was posted on the bulletin board of the
EvBNmo I.EDdEit at Broad and Chestnut
Itreets. This wan on ti Tuesday. Sir
Roger stayed at home all day Wednesday
Interviewing- friends, nnd ho 'had a great
tnany In Philadelphia,
"Sir Roger camo to- America to secure
the support of Irish-Americans to nrm the
IfUh' Volunteers. That he wont to Ger
many to collect funds to further tho cause
li emphatically a lie.
"Irish America has blood as well as gold
to, give to the rauso of Irish freadnm nnd
' those killed today are the flrst'of thousands
prepared; io aie ror Ireland. This was tho
seine of a telegram Sir Roger sent to Eoln

Witenced to life Imprisonment on tho oc-.
'tiston of the Bachelors' Walk affair, when
Mill children wero shot by English sol-
8lr Roger was doing hla best for Iro-
Jind and for Ireland only,", said Mr. Mc-
. Canity. "I, as well as other Phlladel.
Jhlans, have had several talks with people
who jaw Sir Roger In Berlin.
"Whatever the Germans may have done
for Ireland, such as the sending of the
ammunltlon-loaded 'Aud,' the. boat that
accompanied Sir Roger to Ireland In April,
was done solely on tho Initiative of friends
ef the Irish causo In Germany. Sir Roger
'A, cannot be held directly responsible for
Out.
, "If. a petition Is circulated, I am sure It
Would receive the enthusiastic support of
very loyal Irishman In this country. I
hope It will do some good."
Joseph McLaughlin, national president of
tMe. Ancient Order of Hibernians, with n
tnembershln of more than 300.000 In th?
United States, declared he would support
any action that may be taken In'-SIr Roger's
oehalf, A petition had not been thought
ef as yet, ho said, but If one wns circulated
declared he would not only sign It but
would urge others to do so. Whether any
jetton would be tnken by the Ancient Or
oer of Hibernians as a body Mr. McLaugh-
Et un could not say until he had conferred
E with other officers of tho order. '

PHILADELPHIA MAY GET
NEW CUSTOM HOUSE BY
"OMNIBUS" MEASURE
Congressman Moore Asserts Item
Will Figure if Such a Bill
Is Reported This
Session
RESERVE IN OLD BUILDING
WASHl.VOTOK. Juno 30. "I am con
v need that If an omnibus public buildings
bill Is reported to tho House nt this session
of Congress there positively will bo a pro-vls-on
for tho purchase of n new customs
house s'to nnd the beginning of work on
the structure carried In the measure."
That was tho statement made today by
Representative J. Hampton Moore, who in
troduced a bill several months ago for an
appropriation of $2,000,000. It Is probable
thnt the bll will not npproprlato tho full
amount nsked, but neprcsentntlvo Jlooro
will be satisfied if the present bill carries
enough for the purchnso of tho ground nec
essary nnd tho commencement of wor!:.
"The Treasury Department has virtually
said It would be useless to undertake tho
work with an appropriation of less than
$7B0,000," sa'd Mr. Moore. "Thn ntimhnsn
of the ground nnd tho building would cost
$1,000,000, according to Treasury Depart
ment estimates."
It Is considered certain thnt the Public
Buildings and Grounds Commlttco will ro
port a public buildings mensure calling for
appropriations of more than $25,000,000 at
this session of Congress.
That such a plan Is favored by a majority
of the members' of tho commltteo hns been
shown repentedly In recont .weeks. Instead
of reporting separate bills for projects that
are admittedly meritorious, the committee
has held them to Incorporate In tho one big
general bill. By that method It Is expected
the support of tho Individual members for
tho omnibus bill can be held In order that
mey may get favorable action on the
particular projects In which they aro
Interested.
When nsked whether there Is not Ies3
chance of getting tho Senate to act favor
ably on nn omnibus public buildings bill
thanthere Is In the House. Representative
Moore said:
"The Senate Is as human as the House."
There Is some doubt whether President
Wilson would sign a public buildings bill.
even though it should be passed by both
Houses of Congress. Early In" the present
session he passed the word to the leaders
that he did not want a public buildings
mensure enacted. The unusual appropria
tions for preparedness have mado many
members opposed to obligating tho country
to further expenditure

The plan to use the present Custom House
ns a Sublreasury nnd a Fedoral reserve
bank headquarters, proposed by Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Byron It. New-'
ton, meets with tho enthusiastic Indorsement
of officials and banking house authorities In
this city. Tho proposition that would re
sult in the preservation of the old structure
nnd nt the same time give to Philadelphia
a much needed nnd more commodious cus
tom house Is one back of which Phlladel
phlans solidly stand.
It wns suggested n n letter read by Con
gressman Moore to the House Committee on
Public liulldlngs nnd Grounds, In support of
tho measure for n now custom house, which
provides (1,000,000 to obtain a new site and.
start construction on a new building, the
cost not to exceed a total of $2,000,000.
The letter of Assistant Secretary Newton
lenves It possible for tho Government to
make future use of the historic structure
that has outlived Its usefulness for present
uurposes. It was the home of the Dank of
the United States.
Richard U. Austin, federal Reserve agent
In this city, today declared that the Custom
House would make an admirable building
for a' Federal Ileserve bank, and that It
Is no longer adequate for the needs of the
cuMom nfllelnK Mr. Austin sala: i
"I think the Custom House building,
would make a very good Federal bank
building, and 1 know that the custom offi
cers have not sufficient room to conduct the
business of a port the size of Philadelphia
In the old building, something snouiu do
done to give the custom officers more room
and If a new Custom House Is finally de
cided upon the present building would make
a fine bank,"
Others familiar with conditions as they
exist today were enthusiastic In their sup
port of the project advanced by the Wash
ington authorities. All agreed that i
present building s Incommodious and not
at all adapted to the present needs of the
service.
Girl, Playing; With Matches, Burned
Four-year-old Catherine Coll, 1339 South
nicks street, was seriously burned this
morning when her clothing became igplted
as a result of playing with matcne.i. The
little girl's screams attracted the attention
of her sister Mary, who wrapped the blaz
ing child In a tablecloth, extinguishing the
flames. She was taken to St. Agnes' Hos
pital.
Shaw Out for Conscription
LONDON. Jun JO.-r-Qeorge Bernard
Shaw, the famous novelist and playwright.
came out in favor of conscription today
.hii teatlfvinff in the case of a "conscien
tious objector" who was charged with ds-'
obeying oroers. or nam no .v...
advocate of compulsory service.
NBW YORK, June 30. A verdict of
not guilty wns returned todny In tho trial
of Captain Hans Tauscher, charged with
cohsplrlng to blow up tho Welland Canal
In Canada.
Tauscher, who Is ngent for tho Krupp
Interests in this country,' wns specifically
nccuscd of furnishing tho dynamite with
which pro-German sympathizers were to
blow up the canal,
Tho defense was based upon the con
tention that Tauscher, whllo favoring the
German cnuso, had asked Captain von
Papen, former military attache to tho
(ierman Kmbnssy nt Wnshlngton, to give
him work to do which would not be In
violation of tho laws of this country.
Mme. Johanna Gndskl, prima' donna and
wife of the German captain, was In court
when tho Jury announced Its verdict nnd
enthusiastically thanked every one of tho 12
men.
Testifying in his own behalf yesterday,
Tauscher Intimated that he had been duped
by Captain von Papen, whose recall was
asked by tho United States. Tauscher was
stationed hero by the German Government
as Its representative In munitions purchnso
early In the war.
