(Associnted pressl

Mooney, one of those alleged to have been implicated in the dynamite bomb plot here on preparedness day. when John Mcdonald, a waiter, testified that he saw Mooney leaving the suit case which is supposed to have contained the bomb, on the sidewalk. Mooney. he said. was with Warren Billings. who has already been convicted as being implicated in the plot. They left the suit case on the sidewalk just a few moments before it eX- ploded, according to his testimony.
 COCHRAN DEFENDING.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25.-Thos. J. Mooney, one of the five alleged bomb plotters charged with the mur, der of ten persons and the injury of forty others in bomb explosion here on July % last. during a pre- paredness parade, is on trial in the superior court of Judge Franklin A. Griffin here. He is defended by an array of counsel, headed by w. Bourke Cochran, former congress- man and New York attorney, who defended Lieutenant Charles Becker, of the New York police department. on a charge of murder.
 Moneys defense will be financed by the International Workers league, as was that of Warren K Billings, one of the alleged five plotters al ready convicted and sentenced to life Imprisonment. It was after read ing the transcript in Billings trial that Cochran wound up his New York affairs to defend Mooney free of charge.
 Both the prosecution and defense, 1t was said would rely upon photo graph, showing Mooney on the roof of a building many blocks away from the scene of the explosion. The hands of a street clock in the picture point to one minute past o'clock in the afternoon. just a few min utes before the bomb exploded.
 The other defendants who will stand trial later on are: Mrs. Rena Mooney, wife of Thomas J. Mooney; Edward J. Nolan, a machinist. and Israel Weinberg jitney bus driver.

AUTOMOBILES
 ROUGH SHOD

No longer are buggies and wagons the only wheeled vehicles which can
 be equipped with "snowshoes" or runners to transform them into sleds for use on snow or ice roads. This equipment consists of specially de. signed and "spike-armored tread" to be fastened over the regula ton pneu- runner to be fastened to the hub of the wheel At the front and rear end of this runner Is mounted a small wheel resembling a gear. These are so placed that their spikes or cogs engage with those on the spe cial tire tread just as the cogs of two spur gear wheels engage each other. In this way these two small auxili- ary wheels keep the cogs or spikes of the car wheel from filling up and becoming smooth as the shod foot of a horse becomes filled up with a "snowball." This insures that the car wheels shall have good trac- tion at all times, and also prevents danger of the wheels slipping from side to side. The purpose of the inventor seems to be to give the same sure footedness" to the car on slippery winter roads which Is to be had by use of tire chains, and still to give the greater smoothness of riding to the passengers 10 be had with sleds as compared to wheeled pecially when the roads are more or less rough and "choppy."-Farming Business.
