Shubert Theatre last night, Mr.. Victor
Herbert, composer OF the music. said;

an Irish opera which would be worthy

WILSON TO PROBE
MOONEY CASE
Sentence of Man for Throwing
Bomb Brings Protest
HAS INTERNATIONAL BEARING
American Labor viii Send Delegations
To Russia-Financed BY Public
Subscription - Commits
sion To Make Probe.

Washington.-Pre Wilson will
direct new and searching inquiry into
all developments surrounding the ar
rest, conviction and death sentence oil
w. j. Mooney, alleged San Francisco
bomb-thrower.
This investigation follows an inter-
national protest OF labor organizations
that Mooney has been "railroaded."
President Wilson is also Informed
that Western labor unrest may be laid
finally to the Mooney case. The in
quiry will take two courses:
The Department of Justice will make
a complete report on the case to the
President.
The new Western Labor Investigat-
ing Commission named by the Presi'
dent recently and headed by Secretary
of Labor Wilson will go to the bottom
of the Mooney case.
Foremost radical leaders in the coun'
try and many OF the leading labor au-
thorities have advised the President
that MONEYS plight is being used ex-
tenslvely by enemy countries In stir
ring up labor and Socialist antagonism
to the United States, particularly in
Russia, but also in France and Eng
land.
Mooney Is big figure in Russia, hav-
ing been one of the leaders of the Rus
sian freedom movement there. His fol-
lowing in other countries is such as to
make his case one of international i'm
portance, the President has been told.
While the President is working on
this problem labor is preparing to send
a delegation of union men to Russia
to dissipate distrust there in Americas
war purposes. President Wilson will
not name these delegations because Of
the difficulties involved in picking Is
men for the work, but will sanction the
commission, to be financed by popular
subscription.
