All Ordered to Entrain. Except for a recently organized ., battalion of field artillery, every or- i ganization of states militia which j had been mobilized was under orders | to entrain. Four regiments of in- fantry, comprising the Second Bri- gade intact, with Brig. Gen. F. Leroy Sweetser and his staff and the Second Regiment; the First Battalion of Tield Artillery, the First Squadron of Cavalry, the Hospital company, the Ambulance Corps and the Signal Corps, were embraced in the projected movement. The cavalry and signal corps were added to the troops or dered under way in supplementa! instructions received early today. Not all of the men in the several units will proceed with them, how- ever. It is proposed to take along only the minimum required strength of seventy men to a company, the re- cruits added within the past week to be kept in camp for further prepar- ation. They will be sent to join their companies at various points along the border as rapidly as their develop- ment warrants. Much of the work of preparation for departure related to physical ex- amination of the men. Some of the companies, it was found, had lost their minimum strength rating because of defection due to refusal to take the new oath which would bind them to six years of service, active or reserve and to withdrawals because of vouth or re- sponsibilty for the support of families. The extent of the refusals to sub- scribe to the federal enlistment oath could not be determined today, but regimental officers said that in some companies it was considerable. No effort was made to urge the men to reconsider, nor was there any sign of reproach when their decision became known. Camp for Recruits. Orders also were issued for the maintenance of Camp Whitney after the departure of Gen. Sweetser and his men. The officers, non-commis- sioned officers, some of the enlisted men and the cooks of the Sixth Regi- ment, the Coast Artillery Corps, and First Corps Cadets, were ordered by Adjutant Gen. Col to proceed here at once to take up the camp organiza- tion under Col. Warren E. Sweetser of the Sixth Regiment, and to as- sume the dutles of instructing re- eruits who will remain. All trains were in the yards today and loading began at an early hour, with the expectation that they would move before 3 o'clock. The orders stipulated that troop trains on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad would go by way of Prov! dence, New Haven and Poughkeep- sie and those on the Boston and Al- bany through Springfield, Pittdfield and Albany. It was officially announced that the Massachusetts Military had orders to proceed to El Paso. ‘Will Leave This Afternoon. Peeskill, N. Y., June 26—The Four- teenth Infantry of Brooklyn received orders today to entrain immediately. The officers said they would be able to get away this afternoon. The orders contained no instrue- tions as to where they wer eto go, but these were expected momentarily. It was believed that the regiment would go to New York by train and there take a coast line steamer for Galveston and thence proceed to Brownsville, Tex. The nine hundred men making up the peace strength of the regiment had been given a physical examination and mustered into the federal service shortly before. The men necessary to bring the 14th up to war strength are at their Brooklyn armory, not having been brought here, according to officers of the regiment, because of a lack of equipment. Great Movement Begins Today. New York, June 26.—The move- ment of national guard troops from the department of the east toward the Mexican border will begin today in response to the appeal of Secre- tary of War Baker to Major General Leonard Wood, urging him to start the troops south as soon as they were reasonably ready. Fourteen regiments, including in- fantry, cavalry and field artillery, to- gether with signal, hospital, ambu- lance and engineering units, are un- der orders from General Wood to start before night. Early today it appeared doubtful, owing to trans- portation difficulties, if all these com- mands could get away within twenty- four hours time limit specified by General Wood- The urgent call for troops was fol- lowed by a night gf activity at the headquarters of the department of the east on Governor's Island- Gen- eral Wood and his aides were on duty virtually all night. Army quar- termasters were in communication with railroad officials arranging for transport trains. Most of the New York regiments, it was said, would start with an average strength of one thousand men. Re- cruits will be trained at the home sto.- tions and sent south later to join the commands. Major General O’Ryan, commander of the New York National Guard, declared that not a man in the guard had refused to take the new oath to serve the federal govern. men. Jersey Troops on Their Way- Sea ‘Girt, N. J.,, June 26.—It was announced at headquarters at Camp Fielder here that the first contingent of New Jersey troops would leave for Texas at 2 o’clock this afternoon. The contingent consists of troops A and G Cavalry, two batteries of field ar- tillery, a fleld hospital and an ambu- lance corps. The first regiment of infantry will not be ready to get under way be- fore tomorrow morning. Penn. Troops Ordered Off- Harrisburz, Pa, June 26.—Upon the receipt of orders from the —var department, Adjutant General Stewart today ordered the First Brigade, com- prising the First, Second and Third Regiment of Philadelphia, to prepare to leave the mobilization camp o Mount Gretna by tomorrow night. The brigade will be accompanied by one | battalion of engineers, one fleld signal corps and one field hospital corps CASEMENT ON TRIAL FOR HIGH TREASON (Continued From First Page). aggravated one ‘“‘against the sover-| eign he formerly served and the coun- try against which he struc Reviewing the public career of Sir | Roger, general said he | was “an able, cultivated man, not, as | others had been, a lifelong rebel against England and that for which it stands.” It would not be necessary to refer to Sir Roger’s pension, which | had bee: rned honestly, the attorney general continued, except for the sin- ister activities the prisoner thought compatible with the receipt of a pen- sion from this country. Tribute to Casement. The attorney general paid a trib- ute to the public service of Sir Roger and read a letter which he wrote in 1911 to Foreign Secretary Grey thank- ing him for being knighted. The letter, said the attorney general, was that of a mature man, written almost in the terms of a courtjer. ‘What had happened to corrupt the mind of Sir Roger between that time and 1914, when he became a friend of Germany and an enemy of England in her hour of need, the attorney general could not say. Sir Roger's last demand for a pension was made in October of 1914, ‘While the attorney general was reviewing Sir Roger’s career the pris- oner sat with his head on his hand. After reciting Sir Roger's efforts to organize an Irish brigade among Irish vrisoners in Germany, Sir Frederick sal the attorney I pause deliberately to say that if | there is any explanation of Sir Roger Casement’s original journey to Ger- many which can be justified or re- conciled with his professed allegiance I hope his counsel will present it.” Sir Frederick turned from the story of Sir Roger's activities in Germany to the landing of the expedition in Ireland saying: “We must now pass to that un- happy country which has been the scene of so many cruel and cynical conspiracies, but never of one more cruel and cynical than this.” The attorney general concluded his presentation of the case with these words: Must Pay the Penalty. “I hope I have outlined the without heat or feeling. Neither, in my place, would be proper. The prisoner has played a desperate game. Now he is called upon to pay the penalty.” Two government officials testified to Sir Rogers' record In tne consular service and his receipt of a pension of | 421 pounds on retirement. Casement’s Activity in Germany- Private John Cronin of the Munster Fusiliers described Sir Roger's at- tempts to make enlistments from Irish prisoners in Germany. Sergeant Alex- ander Sullivan, cross-examining the witness for Sir Roger, indicated the line of defense by eliciting replies to | the effect that Sir Roger had told | prisoners they were to flght for Ire- | land and would be taken to Ireland if | Germany won a sea battle. The wit- | ness said he had seen Sir Roger in Cork in 1913 at a meeting for organ- izing the Irish volunteers. Another Irish soldier Daniel O’Brien gave similar testimony.

BY MARRIED MAN of Rose Petals Lawrence, June 26.—With the rest here of Neison R. King, a ried man of New Bedford, and a young wom with whom he was living and who, it is charged, he vir- tually held as a prisoner, the'myster- ious disappearance of Miss Florence 1 Shawmut avenut, New has been cleared. Miss Colwell and King, who -vas also known as Roy, eloped on Dec. 20, 1915. 'The parents of the girl, Mr. and Mrs. John Colwell, searched for her, but finally gave her up as lost. They were not locatel till June 16, when the girl fled from Jewett City, Conn., where they had been liv- ing, after accusing him of cruel and abusive treatment. They were arrested on a statutory charge, but, according to the police, a more serious one will be placed against King when arraigned. The girl's family has been notified, and her father is on his way to Lawrence to assist her, and aid in the prosccu- “Sury jo uon ar- mar- Bedford, Met Him in Jitney. According to the stor ss Colwell told the police, King was the driver of a jitney bus in New Bedford, and they first became acquainted when she rode as one of his passerngers. They fell in love and decided to elope. They first went to Providence, where a marriage }icense w refused them. They continued to Jewett City and went ta work in one of the mills. When life with him became unendurable, she decided to leave, and was assisted by their landlady, a Mrs. Carpenter, who loaned her enough money to flee to New London, where she stopped with Mrs. Car- penter’s sister, Mrs. Watrous, at 218 Mantack street. King communicated with her rela- tives in New Bedford in his anxiety to find the girl and they renewed their search. He finally located her and they started for Newmarket, N. H. Inspector Lamothe of the New Bed- ford, police, wha had conducted the first search, was again put on the case. The couple cancelled their trip to Newmarket, N. H., and came to Lawrence them to 94 street, where they were arrested. They had secured a room amd were planning to enter one cf the mills. According to the police, King has already been married three times and has a wife living in New FKedford. Since coming to Lawrence, King bas not allowed the girl to leave the room in which they lived, to the palice, but supplied food from a near-by GARRANZA'S FORCE CONCENTRATES T0 ISOLATE PERSHING reen according her with restaurant.
