In vember, 1914, it w reported Sir Roger. who was the leader the separatist faction in TIreiand. had | gone to Berlin and conferred with the German imperial authorities. Assurances were said to have been given to Sir Roger that should the German troops land in Ireland 1 native institutions would be respect- ed by them. Sir Roger’s followers Treland were, according to the re- port, to give every aid to the Ger- mans. The report of his activities in Germany created a sensation in Eng- land and in February, 1915, Sir Ed- ward Grey announced in the House of Commons that Sir Roger’s pension as a former member of the consular corps had been suspended pending an investigation of charges of dislovalty nst him. Sir Roger was created a knight in 1911. He is 52 years old.

As a result of his report a British royal commission headed by him investigated the ation and brought about reforms in the treatment of men emploved in the industry. ROOSEVELT DEFIES ROOT ANDTHEG. 0.

I, April Roosevelt will not support E for president on the ticket,” said one of the callers vesterday, “and Mr. Root's nomination would only result in a third party ticket probably headed by Roosevelt.” The pilgrim who brought this news was Judge Albert D. Nortoni of St. Louis, Bull Moose nominee for gov- ernor of Missouri. He was one of the republicans who broke away from the party to follow Col. Roosevelt in 1912. Judge Nortoni was one of the few men privileged to see Col. Rocsevelt vesterday, owing to the latter's cold and the rest which his physfeians have ordered. He told the colonel that at least two-thirds of the dele- gates to the republican national con- vention from Missouri would be for him, and that he is the only man the republicans can nominate who will have any chance of carrying Missouri against President Wilson. After his conference with Roosevelt, Judge Nortoni was asked if the progressives throughout the middle west would support Senatc Root if he were nominated. 5 re- ply was unqualified—that they would not.

New York, April —When Cou Von Bernstorff, the German Ambas sador, demanded of Secretary of State Lansing the return of all documents and papers taken from the raided “ad- | vertising office” of Wolf Von Igel, at 60 Wall street, the one document that he wanted about all others was the copy of a German code boolk which it became known yesterday, was taken away by Department of Justice agents. Many documents seized of the more important of the were in cipher and the code book made the deciphering of these documents an easy matter That these papers are of the utmost importance becomes more evident day, and there is no Federal of- 1 who has seen the documents but understands exactly why the German Ambassador is so anxious to get this data out of American and back into German hands. There is good ground for more than a mere surmise that some of the more important documents which are un- derstood in many instances to have been reports to the Am! dor, were in cipher. It is said all these reports have been uncoded and copies placed in the hands of proper government of- ficials, “If these documents are ever madc public the people will he astounded at the revelations,” an official said yes- who STOL SQUAWS COMING.

ROGERS’ TRIAL MAY BE ENDED TODA Woman Who Poisoned Her Children and Who Claims She Was Insane On Trial For Her Life, Néw York, April 25.—Presentation of evidence at the trial of Mrs. Ida Sniffen Rogers for the murder of one of her two children whom she pois- oned probably will end today. If this is accomplished the case will be in the hands of the jury tomorrow. Owing to the fact that Mrs. Rogers has never denied having administered poison to her son John, and to her daughter Lorida, and that her attor- neys have based her defense on the | plea of temporary insanity, the pros- ecution presented its evidence yester- day in one day and the defense began puiting on witnesses to show that Mrs Rogers was at times irrational. Her attorneys have engaged Dr. Graeme M. Hammond, an alienist, as a witness. One of the points remaining to be established is whether as the defense contends, Mrs Rogers took poison herself after giving it to the children. The state denies that she did so. 12 MEET, DAUGHTERS OF Reception by President And Mrs. Wil- son to Be Held Tomorrow.
