M, F. DOYLE, CASEMENT'S COUNSEL,
ANSWERS CECIL'S DEFENSE OF DOOM
No Evidence at Trial Connecting Irish Chief With Revo
lutionBritish Officials Refused to Permit Phila
delphia Attorney to Obtain Testimony
Michael Francis ''Doyle, of this cityf counsel for Sir Roger Case
merit, today said thai in the interest of justice and truth tho statement
issued yesterday by Lord Robert Cecil, representing the reasons of the
British Cabinet for refusing to grant a reprieve to Roger Casement,
should be immediately answered, especially as he wak in possession of
inc jacis.
Mr. Doyle's statement is appended.
By MICHAEL FRANCIS DOYLE
Thero was no evidence at the trial con
necting Casement In any wny with tho Irish
uprising, nnd It was not referred to by the
Lord Chief Justice, nor was It charged by
tho Attorney General. Therefore, to use
tho uprising and the unfortunnto Incidents
Ih connection therewith as a Justification
for the execution Is absolutely uncalled for.
The Indictment ngnlnst Casement was for
"giving aid and comfort to tho enemy with
out tho realm, to wit. In tho Umpire of
Germany." The eight counts In the Indict
ment referred to nct-j committed by Cano
mont In Germany. Therefore, the only per
sons who could be called for tho defense
would havo to bo brought from Germany.
On June 6 Casement wroto to tho Home
Ofnco stating that It wan his desire to re
quest mo to go to Germany for the purpose
of bringing witnesses and documents from
that country to England for tho defense.
On Juno IS Sir Emery Hlackuell, Under
Secretary of Homo Affairs, Informed mo
that tho Government would not permit this
to be dono. Therefore, Casement was un
ablo to produco n slngto witness In defense,
becnuso he waB prevented by tho Homo
Office, owing to tho exigencies of the war.
Tho statement that Irish prisoners In
Germany suffered unduo hardships because
they did not Join Casement's Irish Ilrlgado
was false, nnd no evidence of It appeared
nt tho trial. The rations of tho Irish sol
diers wero cut down, but this In pioportlon
to the rations of nil tho captlvo British boI
dlers, nnd was duo to tho food shortago In
Germany nnd not because of Cnsemcnt's
prcsonce thero.
When the Criminal Court of Appeals dis
missed tho appeal n statement of what
these GO witnesses would have testified was
furnished by the Homo Ollce, nnd in view
of that fnct his counsel confidently ex
pected a reprieve. Cusement's Intention In
landing in Ireland wns to stop tho uprising,
ns ho believed it would bo a failure because
TRANSIT ESTIMATES LEFT
WIDE MARGIN FOR INCREASE
Continued from race One
Frnnkford elevated, exclusive of real estate casements, $37,000,000 in addition
to the $0,000,000 originally appropriated for the construction of these lines.
There has, therefore, been made available the total sum of 543,000,000 for tho
construction of the Broad street subway, delivery loop and elevated branches
and of the Frankford elevated line, the estimated cost of which, including 20
per cent added to cover cost of engineering and interest and required sinking
fund payments as above, was $42,400,000. Therefore, the amount available thero
for exceeds the estimated cost by $1,200,000.
The loan bill makes available for the construction of tho Woodland avenue
elevated $4,200,000; whereas, the cost thereof was estimated at $3,200,000.
Therefore, the amount available therefore exceeds tho estimated cost by
$1,000,000.
The loan bill makes available for thcconstruction of the subway beneath the
Parkway and elevated extension to Roxborough $7,500,000, which was the esti
mated cost thereof.
The loan bill makes available for tho construction of tho Frankford-By-berry
lino $1,100,000, which wa3 the estimated cost thereof.
The loan bill makes available for real estate and real estate casements
$2,200,000 jwhercas, the estimate of the cost of real estate and real estate case
ments required for the construction of the high-speed lines was as follows:
Broad street subway $1,000,000
Frankford elevated 600,000
Woodland avenuo clovt'terl 100,000
Parkway-Uoxboro'JBh 100,000
' Total 31,800,000
Therefore the amount available for real estate and real-estate easements
required for the construction of the high-speed lines exceeds the estimated cost
thereof by $400,000.
City Councils have thus made available amounts in excess of the depart
ment's estimates as follows:
Broad streot subway elevated branches and delivery loop and
Frankford elevated $1,200,000
Woodland avenuo elevated 1,000,000
Real estate nnd real estate easements 400,000
Total $2,600,000
Under tho terms of the loan authorization, any surplus funds remaining
after tho completion of a stated line may bo applied toward the completion of
any of tho other lines.
Tho cost of the Chestnut street subway was estimated at $8,600,000 (as
published on page 10, Annual Report of Department for 1915), and the loan
bill made available $5,000,000 toward the construction of the Chestnut street
subway, if Councils should hereafter determine that the same should bo con
structed to connect tho Frankford and Darby lines. That sum was never in
tended to represent the total cost of tho Chestnut street subway, and it was
provided in order that a start might be made in the construction thereof, if
necessary, owing to inability on the part of the city to secure the uso of tho
present Market street subway for the thorough routing of Frankford and
Woodland avenue trains.
The, estimates which I have referred to herein, were made long after tho
costs of material and labor had advanced considerably above normal; there has
been a further increase in the costs of material and labor since these estimates
were made.
It has frequently been pointed out that the construction of certain smaller
sections of the high-speed Bystem, located in the central business district, will
require much more time than will be required for the construction of tho main
straight-way portions thereof.
Therefore, it is apparent that in order to have the various sections of a
line completed, at tho same time ready for operation, those small sections thereof
in the central business district which it will tako longest to construct and tho
cost of which is small ih proportion to the cost of the entire system, should be
placed under contract at the earliest date possible.
The main, and by far the most costly, portions of the system, which can
be completed more rapidly, need not be placed under contract until later, when
prices become more nearly normal, without causing delay in the beginning
of operation.
If this plan of procedure, which has been recommended in the past, be fol
lowed, I havo no doubt that the funds now available for the construction of the
recommended high-speed lines will be ample to construct them promptly and as
planned with a safe margin.
I hope that you will find this statement answers your inquiry completely and
satisfactorily. Yours very truly,
August 2, 1916.

less than six airships attacking the
cour.ttes of Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex
simultaneously for about an hour and
a half.
Except at one point the raiders did
not penetrate far Inland, but were con
tented wjth dropping a few bombs at a
time on widely distant localities, main
ly near the sea. Seeral bombs aro
reported to have fallen In the sea.
Guns got Into action n one locality,
but the raiders made good their re
treat In conjunction with this attack, one
airship was sighted making for the
coast of Kent, Many observers report a
second airship followed. A number of
bombs were dropped In this attack.
Guns came Into action, and one if not
two hits are claimed against the first
raider.
A total ot 80 bombs has been ac
counted for, inclusive of those falling
Into the sea,
The total damage was astonishingly

PRESIDENT SEEKS
PLAN TO PREVENT
BIG R. R. STRIKE
Requests Conference With
U. S. Board of Mediation
and Conciliation
BOTH SIDES ARE STUBBORN
By ROBERT J. BENDER
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. President Wil
Bon today requested a conferenco with Com
missioner Chambers, of the United States
Board of Mediation and Conciliation, pre
sumably to discuss tho threatened strike
of the Big Four brotherhoods of railway
men, threatening a nation-wide tie-up of
transportation.
Arbitration of the Impending railway
strike, whether tho four brotherhoods de
slro it or not, today was under consideration
of the members of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee.
Senator Newlands, Administration leader
on transportation matters, announced his
committee had been asked by tho National
Chamber of Commerce for a hearing at
which such forced settlement of the strike
would bo passed. It was assured the hear
ing would be granted.
Should this be the committee' action,
however, a bitter floor fight appears cer
tain, with the final result In doubt. By
hundreds of messages the men In the brother
hoods have given warning that any political
body "siding with tho railroads" will feel
the full power of their ballots next
November.
As further evidence of congressional
nervousness over the situation, Newlands
today was pushing a movement to have
started at once his special committee In
vestigation of tho whole railroad problem,
ono of tho principal features of which will
bo a "query Into wage conditions." It had
been planned to put off this Investigation
until Senators and Representatives com
pleted their fall campaigning.
From a political standpoint, the Presi
dent's position In attempting to bring about
an adjustment, of the difficulty Ih "full of
dynamite," according to his advUers.
Tho trainmen say they won't arbitrate
and the railroads say they won't yield.
Should the President by shirt-sleeve diplo
macy demand arbitration he would face re
sentment of several hundred thousand la
boring men. If he falls to bring about
arbitration or a settlement he will find
himself faced by a paralyzed transportation
system resulting In tremendous business
confusion and vast suffering.
Friends of the President are hoping and
praying that when the executive board of
the "Big Four" brotherhoods and the Gen
eral Conference Committee of the railroads
resume conferences In New York, August 8,
they may come to some satisfactory agree
ment. Administration officials, representatives of
the railroads and labor, however, are pes
simistic. When the vote of the trainmen
H counted and It Is assumed It will favor
a strike the United States Board of Media
tion and Conciliation will at once offer
its services. In the event of this board
failing to bring peace and perhaps coin
cident with the launching of Us efforts
the President may attempt personally to
prevent tha break.

ordered to the capes to bco that tho
Deutschland got a "square deal" nnd that
thero was no violation of United States
neutrality was broken today. The cruiser
North Carolina, which headed the patrol,
steamed out of Hompton Roads for New
port. Tho destroyers that had sliarea nor
patrol were sent to their regular stitlons.
Not a single mishap marred the carefully
laid plans of tho Germans to get away irom
tho United States. From Baltimore to the
opon Bea tho llttlo bundle of Gorman enter
prise bound round with Bteel met with no
untoward accident.
In tho grny mist of darkness nnd under
tho protecting heavy sea the Deutschland
mado ltB dash for the ocean, dived Into
smoothor wnter Just as she reached tho
three-mllo territorial limit with her 49
saltormen and nearly 1000 tons of precious
war supplies.
Conditions wero Ideal for tho start for
hor. Tho Allied cruisers which had awaited
tho Deutschland were unnblo to hug the
shore In tho heavy weather off Chosapoako
Bay last night. They wero nowhere to be
seen, when the twinkling lights of the under-sea
freighter winked and went out un
der tho tossing waves.

This makes four casc3 of Infantile pa
ralysis In South Camden and one In North
Camden.
Both State Commissioner of Health Sam
uel G. Dixon and Dr. A. A. Cairns, chief
medical Inspector of Philadelphia, feel op
timistic about the Philadelphia situation.
They assert there is absolutely no alarm
ing danger of Infection at the city play
grounds, and nro firm In their assertions
that the children are safer there, where
every precaution Is being taken, than they
are playing In the streets and allevs of the
'city.
The Board of Recreation Is co-operating
with 'the Health Department In working to
prevent an epidemic In this city. Accord
ingly, special nurses are being delegated
to the playgrounds of tho city to Inspect
the drinking cups, the playthings and the
grounds of the recreation places, so that all
chances of Infection may be eliminated as
muc.i as possible.
They are not at all In favor of the closing
playgrounds and do not want the people
to become unduly alarmed because of the
playground Inspections. These are only
precautionary measures.
Doctor Dixon points out that this year's
Infantile paralysis la nothing to be alarmed
about. In 1910, he says, there -were 1112
cases of the disease in Pennsylvania, while
this year's record Js but an Infinitesimal
part of that summer.
Doctor Dixon says ho does not think
there is any need at all of closing Hunting
Park. Ho says, "I firmly believe the park
Itself Is absolutely free from any source
of contagion."
