 TO PROVE AL|b|
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-Before a crowded court room today Mrs. Rena Mooney whose trial on a murder charge grew out of the preparedness parade bomb explosion here last July, told the jury a detailed story of her movements on the day of the blast in an effort to establish an alibi. That she was in her apartment or on the roof of the building in which she lived before and after the explosion occurred and that she had not visited the scene of the explosion at any time during the day, were two of the out standing statements made by Mrs. Mooney.
 She detailed her movements from the time she said she took breakfast early in the morning until she said she saw the parade end late in the afternoon Her testimony corroborated essentially the testimony of her sister Mrs. Belle Hammerberg and her cons in Mrs. Martha Timberlake. who said recently they were with Mrs. Mooney fIom l D. m. until late in the after noon. The explosion occurred more than mile from Mrs. Moneys apart ment at 2.06 D. m.
 Mrs Mooney said that after making some purchases she arrived back in .leT aDOuI noon.
 Tn the apartment at that time were my husband and two men who were engaged in draping a flag in front of the building" said Mrs Mooney
 Thomas J. Mooney. husband of the defendant. is under sentence of death for the one of the bomb murders.
 We stayed in the apartment for about forty five minutes" said Mrs, Mooney. Then we went on the roof. i The parade was in sight when we reached the roof. although it was sev- eral blocks away.
 The state contended that at the time Mrs. Mooney said she went to the roof she was with other defendants in the bomb cases and was preparing to so with them to scene of the explosion, where it is alleged that Warren K. Billings, under sentence of life inn prisonment for one of the bomb mur- ders, .deposited a suitcase containing the bomb
 Mrs. Mooney testified that six peo- pie were on the roof when she arrived. She identified them as persons who have already testified in support of her alibi.
 She also identified herself in pie lures taken of the group on the roof at :5S p. m.. 2:01 and 2:04 ?. m. At the opening of the trial today, Superior Judge Emmet Seawell dis
 missed Juror John T. Welby, whose | place was filled automatically by the l thirteenth juror in the case, William 1 s. Dean. Welby separated himself l from the other jurors last Saturday | while they were examining various | street scenes connected with the fomt

SENATE FUSES OVER SELECTION
 OF MIR. HOOVER
TRepublican A. p. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, July 16.-A wrangle over President Wilson's appointment of Herbert c. Hoover as food admins trator occupied virtually all of today's debate in the senate on the food con- trol bill, but meantime considerable progress on compromise amendments was made by the leaders in bipartisan conferences.
 For more than two hours Senator Reed criticized MT. Hoover declaring his residence abroad had kept him out of touch with American ideals. Sen ator Phelan replied, defending the food administrator as a patriotic and ef- ficient official.
 The democratic and republican lead CTS agreed in their conferences upon changes in the bill expected to com mand general support, including an amendment creating a board of food administration instead of one man control, provided in the house measure. 1 Most of the leaders also agreed upon limiting the control legislation to food, feeds and fuels, the fuels to include gasoline and kerosene, but consider able senate following plans to insist upon retention of government control over steel and iron and their products. Another conference will be held to-
 morrow by the leaders with a meeting l of the senate democratic steering com
 mittee planned later for final negotia- tion toward a complete compromise.

BISBEE. July 16.-While there con- tinues to be some unrest in the Warren district as to the published rumers about the possible return of the l. w. w. members and their sympathiZerS who are now at Columbus, N. M, the Warren district is settling down to nor nal and absolute quiet prevails.
 More men reported for work this morning at every shaft in the camp. The employment offices are besieged by many who are applying for work here and the company officials state that full forces will be realized in a comparatively short time. A feature of the new men who are being put to work, according to the employment of- fices of the local companies, is the fact that all appear to be native born or naturalized Americans. The Mexican forces of the companies, which do most of the surface labor, are also being enlarged A large number arrived here
 from Douglas and were immediately put to work.
 Frank HOman, a member Of the
 painters union, and who was held chiefly responsible for the strike last fall when one of the Bisbee restaurants
 was picketed for many months and who is accused of having been active in the furtherance of the recent strike left Bisbee tonight. Homan was arrest ed last Friday night charged with | threatening to kill several local busi- ness men. He was to have been trieo this afternoon. The justice of the peace I continued the case indefinitely ant Homan left for other parts of the state Homan declared today he had advlset against the I. w. w. strike.

 PLANS FUR TIME
TRenublican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The gov ernment's merchant ship building pro- gram was halted today when Major General Goethals manager of the ship ping boards fleet corporation. post poned his plan to requsition all steel merchant ships under construction and to let contracts for building two gov ernment-owned ship yards for produce ing fabricated steel ships.
 At General GOethars office it was said the postponement was due to a request by Chairman Denman of the shipbuildng board for a short delay to give the board time to go over the program. This was denied at the ship ping board, although the statement was made that General Goethals had been asked to supply additional informa- ton concerning his plans.
 Todays development was regarded as bringing to a direct issue the ques- tion of who is to have supreme au thority in carrying out the building program-Chairman Denman or Gen eral GOethals. Authority to spend $75000o 900 for acquiring a great mer chant fleet, given to President Wilson by congress. has been divided in an eX- ecutive order between the shipping board and it's corporation, the board being authorized to acquire vessels by purchase and the corporation to take charge of building.
 In announcing his program last Fri day, General Goethals. apparently as stunned that as manager of the corpor- ation he would be given a free hand, but MT Denman in @ statement to- night assumes responsibility for the shipping board, whose members are l ctOal-bnIIarc nf ba poration.

Guards are sta toned at every road entering this city and investigate every suspicious char acter on the highway. Reports that they resemble soldiers is false. It is possible that they wear khaki civilian clothes but otherwise resemble in no

LITTLE DANGER IF

 BELT RACE RIOTS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

FLAT RIVER, Mo, July 16.-Danger of renewal of race rioting in the lead belt of southeastern Missouri di- unfinished today as a result of the firm attitude of the national guard officers and the action of Sheriff Adams in swearing in twelve deputies.
 About half the mines in the East River section resumed operations to- day, but worked short handed as a result Of the exodus of the foreign born laborers. In other towns of the lead belt nearly all the mines were running. The warning of mob to the foreign residents of Bonne Terre that they must get out of town by ten o'clock this morning did not produce the expected result The foreigners did not leave and they armed to de- fend their homes. They were advised by officers of the St Joseph Lead company. which operates the mines at Ronne Terre to stay and defend their rights.
 detachment of guardSmen was sent to Bonne Terre tonight to prevent a repition of the scenes of Sunday night, when a mob invaded the foreign colony.
 The mob leaders of the lead belt have come to realization that the guards men here will tolerate no further out DreakS. The troops are well armed, have plenty of ammunition and have orders to preserve the peace at all costs.
 Nothing in the way of a settlement of the differences between the native miners and the companies as to the employment of foreign labor has been accomplished. It is being made plain to the men that the companies will not discuss a settlement until all danger of mob law has disappeared Knowl- edge of this fact is having a soberine (Continued on Page TWnl

General Visits Camp

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP, SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, July 16.- (By the Associated Press. )-The American general arrived last night and today began supervising the initial work of his troops who now are nearly all here. At noon today the general commanding the French troops who will train with the American troops and give them the benefit of their long and varied experience, also reached the camp.
 The scene was impressive, the more so because of it's staging in a quaint little village which turned out to the last child to stare in wonder at the newcomers, whom they hailed as SaviOurs.
 The army is fast getting down to real work and the countryside is swarming over with squads bound to or from training places or with supply columns. To the best of their ability the people of the entire neighborhood welcomed the newcomers with great enthusiasm and the Americans only have language difficulties in fraternizing with their hosts. The troops almost without eX- ception have been biIleted about the country side and are fast getting ac- customed to the French ways of living. Beautiful weather has assisted ma tcrially in the speedy encampment of the troops.
