2 GERMAN AIRSHIPS PASS OVER BRITAIN Arrive During the Night, Drop- ping Bombs at Many Places as They Pass Along. LULL IN THE FIGHTING London, Aug. 3.—German airships have again flown over the eastern counties of England, dropping bombs. An official communication just issued says: : “A number of airships crossed the coast of the eastern counties shortly after midnight. Their objective has not yet been definitely ascertained, as the raid is sti'l proceeding. Some bombs were dropped at various places.” Lull in Fighting. The armies in the three great cen- ters of recent activity, the Somme region of France, Russia and Galicia, evidently have let up considerably in the viorem fighting in which they have been engaged and are indulging in a breathing spell preparatory to further attacks and counter attacks. The official communications dealing with the operations in these theaters Wednesday tell of no single impor- tant engagement, nor of any notable changes in the positions of any of the belligerents. Attacking in echelon on a three- mile line Trom the ‘Meuse river to Fleury, north of Verdun, the French have = captured several German trenches and organized points of sup- port. In the engagement Ger- mans were made prisoners and ten machine guns were captured. On Russian Front. On the Russian front Petrograd re- rts merely artillery duels and in- mnry attacks on the Stokhod and Turia river fronts and of local Rus- sian offensives on the Stripa river in Galicia, all of which were repulsed. Attacks by the Austrians against the Italians at various points, includ- ing Monte Cimone, Monte Selu gio and Castellatto, have been repu with heavy casualties, according to Rome. & b The Russians are keeping up their advance against the Turks in the Cau- ‘casus region. - Carranza Names ~ Commission to Wo{lflVith U.8 Mexico City, Aug. 3—It was offi- ' cially announced at the Mexican for- ‘eign office today that Luis Caberera, Ygnacio Bonillas and Alberto Panio, have been selected as the commission- _ ers to negotiate with the United States’ commissioners regarding the questions _at issue between exico and the United States.

POWER OF (OONGRESS Washington, Aug. 3—~The senate late today began consideration of the bill to prevent interstate commerce in the products of child labor, The measure was restored to a place on the legislative program for this ses- sion at the request of President Wil- son, after the democratic caucus once had decided to let it go over until December. Southern democrats are the only opponents of the measure, which will be kept before the senate until it is passed. Senator Robinson, in presenting the bill on behalf of the commerce com- mittee, told his southern colleagues there was a strong sentiment in favor of it in their states, He read extracts from newspapers in North and South Carolina, Alabama, Georgit, Missis- sippi and Texas favoring child labor legislafion, Power in Congress, Answering contentions that the pro- posed act would effect an unconstitu- tional transgression of the rights of the states, the Arkansas senator as- serted that under decisions of the su- preme court the power of congress to regulate commerce is complete and absolute except as limited by the con- stitution itself; that the only limita- tion is the Fifth amendment, which provides that no person shall be de- prived of life, liberty or property without due process of law; that the Fourteenth amendment of the consti- tution imposes the same limitation on the states as hatt imposed by the Fifth amendment on the federal gov- ernment and that if “the statep in the exercise of the golice power can sup- press evils of child labor, congress, through its power tu egulaté com- merce, can promote thv sume end by denying the channels of zommerce to persons and enterflrluo i the inter- est of "flla public health, morals and ty. safe Cites Other Cases. Senator Robinson asserted that con- gress could do indirectly a great many ;hmgl that it could not directly per- orm. “The lottery cases and the white slave cases decided by the supreme ‘| court,” he said, “affirm the power of congress to enact legislation in the nature of police regulations through its power to regulate commerce; that congress has as much power to sup- press recognized evils in the concri- tions surrounding the production or mlnufactpre of commodities through a regulation of commerce as it has to accomplish the same end after trans- portation has ended.” Railroad Sues to Get Money It Lost Through Own Error Hastings, Neb,, Aug. 3.—(S ecial,) —The Burlington railroad has x:m-ted suit in federal court against Dan R. Rogers of Ragan to recover $120, which represents the difference be- tween the amount paid by the defend- ant for four pluenger tickets Septem- ber 25, 1915, and their actual value. They were routed over the Atchi- son Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, when at the price for which they were sold they should have been sent over the Southern Pacific lines. The railroad company admits in its petition that a mistake was made, but it now hopes to recover the difference in the price of the two routings. he government, through Attorney Allen of Lincoln.mn started proceedings inst the St. Joseph & Grand Island Railroad Co. in federal court on the :lnr’e that the defend- ant comggn! has violated the national law prohibiting a trainman working sixteen consecutive hours without an eq}\t-hour rest period. he government brings seven dif- ferent counts against the railroad company and alleges that the viola- tions were committed on October 26, 1915, and March 1, 1916, Davis Elected Supreme Vice Chancellor of Pythian Knights Portland, Ore., Aug. 3.~Charles H. Davis, of Denver, elected supreme vice chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, received eighty-four votes. John J. Brown of Vandalia, III, present supreme vice chancellor, was elected supreme chancellor without contest, it being the custom of the supreme lodge to elevate the vice chancellor, The supreme lodge probably will decide the next convention city to- morrow, Chicago and New Haven be- ing among the cities which have in- vited the Pythians to favor them, Hottest Day of Year at - Superior; Rain Is Wanted Superior, Neb., Aug. 3—Today has been the hottest day of the year and with a hot wind blowing from the southwest.

The Get Away CASEMENT HANGED FOR HIGH TREASON (Continued from Page One.) quick lime in the prison yard, but probably no decision as to the burial will be made until after the inquest. Group of Irish Pray. An affecting incident took place outside the prison wall as the execu- tion was in progress. At the back of the prison a little distance from the jeering crowd about the gates was a group of about thirty Irish men and women, When the dull clang of the prison bell announced that the doom- ed man had paid the last penalty, this little group fell on their knees and with bowed heads remained for some moments silently Praying for the repose of the soul of their dead fellow countryman. Casement Shows No Concern. Casement showed not the slightest concern over his fate. He ate wel and chatted freely and cheerily with the warders of his condemned cell, After a heurtfl late supper he divested himself for the last time of his con- vict clothes and went to bed, He was notified that he would be allowed to wear his own civilian clothes for the execution, though he would not be permitted to wear a collar. All the members of Casement's fam- ily were Protestants, and he was brought up in that faith, but became a convert to Roman Catholicism with- in the last few weeks. On June 29 he was registered as a member of the Roman Catholic church and since that time Fathers McCarrell and Carey of Eden Grove church, near the prison, have been n;mutering to him. He received his first and only communion at 7 o’clock this mornin when he assisted at mass in his cell. One of his attendants said that his fand was most striking. According to this attendant, the last words of the condemned man, apart from his prayers, were: “I die for my coun- try” Father McCarrell said that he found Casement to be a beautiful character and that he never instructed any one in his religion who showed himself a quicker and more promis- ing learner. One More Martyr, Says News. The morning papers mostly deal in the briefest and most matter of fact way with the execution of Case- ment. The only editorial referenfie is in the Daily News, which says: “We cannot but reaffirm our contention that the government exhibited grave unwisdom in exacting the death pen- alty. No evil results could have fol- lowed a commutation of the sentence. The hanging gives the disaffected sec- tion of Ireland another martyr, embit- ters feeling throughout the island, alienates a large and important body of American opinion and enables Ger- many to play off the death of Cl:(- ment against the death of Fryatt. MANY EFFORTS AT CLEMENCY Petitions for Mercy Pour in from Many Quarters.

Petitions for mercy poured in the British govern- ment and efforts were made to ob- tain action by President Wilson. Re- peated nttem{]u. to pass a resolution throurh the United States senate re- uesting the president to urge Great ritain to extend mercy failed. This n’muon was finally ended on July 2/, when the senate committee on foreign relations ordered an adverse report on all resolutions !roposing in- tercession by the United States gov- ernment. The only action taken in thington was the passage of a res- olution by the senate asking the presi- dent to use his good offices with the British officials to obtain clemency forl Irish political offenders in gen- eral. Many prominent men, both here and in Great Britain, interested them- selves in Casement’s behalf, Incl\lding George Bernard Shaw and the Iris oet, William Butler Yeats. The opes of the condemned man’s friends were extinguished when Lord Robert | Cecil, minister of war, announced on Wednesday that the British gove:n- ment was determined not to grant a reprieve. Lord Cecil declared that Casement ‘was much more “malignant and hostile” to Great Britain than were the leaders who took an actual part in the Sinn Fein revolt and that there was no ground which could be brought forward in mitigation of his offenses. 1 Wilson May Visit St. Louis Next Month Washington, Aug. 3—President Wilson may go to St. Louis to attend the convention of the National Asso- ciation of Life Underwriters Septem- ber 19, 20 and 21.

'SOCIALISTS FAVOR FREEDOM OF SBAS Oonference at The Hague Ends After Adoption of Resolution Urging Free Trade. - ATTENDANCE I8 SMALL The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. 3.— Two men and one woman were the entire audience at the closing public session of the International Socialist conference here today. It was an- nounced at the meeting that the Nor- wegian delegates had now received romises ot safe conduct from the erman government, but they were too late and that the Spanish delegate was held up in London by other causes, . The conference adopted a resolu- tion condemning an economic war after the war and favoring free trade and freedom of the seas. The dele- gates recorded their protest against the sentence of Dr. Karl Leibnecht, the German socialist leader, and others who had suffered punishment for their anti-war convictions. Fifteen Drowned By Cloudburst at Ta_z_efla]l, Tenn, Middlesboro, Ky., Aug. 3.—Between fifteen and twenty-five persons were drowned and enormous property dam- 'T was sustained by a cloudburst on Blair's Creek, near Tazewell, Tenn., last night, according to information received here today. Telephone mes- sages say about 100 persons lived aloni the creek and of these only a few have been accounted for. City officials and citizens of Taze- well have organized rescue parties. The region is very rough and commu- nication has been practically cut off. Nine bodies have been recovered. . Bliar's creek is ten miles long and it is estimated that 150 persons lived in this neighborhood, although only 100 of them are supposed to have been directly in theIath of the cloudburst and endangered by the waters of the creek overflowing its banks.
