Mrs. Mooney Bought
Nitre, Says Witness
In Dynamite Case
Stevedore Identifies Defendant
as Purchaser of Ingredient
Of Explosive

San Francisco. June 19.-Mrs. Rena
Mooney, on trial for murder in connec-
tlon with bomb explosion July %.
which killed ten persons, was identified
to-day by Samuel Samuels, a stevedore,
as the woman to whom he sold about
eleven pounds of ntre eleven days
PRIOR TO the explosion.
In his opening statement to the jury
. Assistant District Attorney Louis Fer
Iari lad asserted that the state would
offer evidence intended to show direct
connection between the nitre, which
he said was one Of the bases of dyna-
mite, three books on dynamite alleged

apartment. and the explosion.
STmuels testified:
This woman Indicating Mrs.
Mooney arrived in jitney bus on the
pier where the steamer was unloading
, nitre. She asked me for little nitre
she said she wanted il TO experiment

opened her handbag and took out a
small sack. ] hurried back TO the yes

She handed me 20 cents and said Go

San Francisco, June l9.-Inir'een
men sit in one Of the courtrooms o'
the Hall Of Justice in San Francisco
daily and watch the face OF woman
She is a very quiet woman, serene
woman withal, with scarcely an intima'
tion on her face that she is fighting 10Y
bcr life. But nobody in the courtroom
has any doubt about IT, The Judge
knows It. The thirteen men know IT,
and perhaps watch the quiet woman all
the more keenly because OF their reali-
zation Of it. The District Attorney
knows it. For it is he who represents
the forces that want TO have forfeited
this woman's life, and he hopes that
her fight will be losing one.
To the people of San Francisco the
woman is Mrs. Rena Mooney. To the
District Attorney-or, rather, to the
Assistant District Attorney, in this in
stance. Louis Ferrari-the woman is
another Lady Macbeth. For so he
termed her "The Lady Macbeth of the
conspiracy"-in his opening statement
of the trial of Mrs. Rena Mooney for
the death Of Mrs. Irene Van Loo, one
of ten persons who were killed by an
explosion during preparedness parade
in San Francisco, July %, 1916.
To the thirteen men, as they sit
through the long hours of the day In
their thirteen chairs in the Hall OF
Justice. Mrs. Mooney appears as
woman Of less than middle height,
dressed with quiet good taste, evi-
IDENTIFY woman who has gained a GER
tain amount of strength from her bat
tie with life. She is not pretty, as men
view beauty. But her eyes are deeply
set and sombre, ard her mouth seems
at once capable of tenderness and Of
strength. 1t is firmly set: only at the
corners is a slight suggestion of weari-
ness. where the lips droop and tiny
shadows appear.
Pictured as very Evil
To believe the words of the As
sistant District Attorney, the thirteen
men who watch Mrs. Mooney will have
to recognize that behind the brooding
eyes is a deliberate purpose to destroy
the existing fabric of society; that the
mouth which curved pityingly at the
sight of crippled girl on the witness
stand can be malignant as well. For
the Assistant District Attorney says
that Rena Mooney belonged TO group
of persons who devoted all their ener-
gies, had given their lives, to uproot-
ing society as it exists to-day; men and
women who would stop at nothing TO
effect their destructive purpose, who
would scheme and cheat, and indeed
had found murder no bar, If only it
would bring them nearer TO their goal.

spiracy to foster and encourage an

meaning, which | understand to be sim

 he would oppose the bill; otherwise, he
 would support it. MT Walton advocat- ing the bill admitted that territory
 could not escape it's share of the in
 debtedness of the old district Another
 objection to the bill was the power it
 gave the state board of education to i create a district against, perhaps, the wish of majority of the people re- siding in it.
 The house adjourned to 9:30 this morning.
 The only thing of interest in the sen
 ate was something that did not appear
 on the minutes. It was a letter received
 by Senator Mahoney from a constituent

 he had secured a clerkship for Mrs. Mahoney and had made W. P Mahoney.

FARRELL URGES BUSINESS MEN
 TO COOPERATE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

PITTSBURG, Jan. 26.-James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel corporation. in speech at the banquet of the National Foreign Trade council held here tonight in connection with the fourth annual convention, urged the establishment o1 CO., operative system of selling in foreign trade by the business men of Amer ica, but advised them against entering into any agreement which might re- suit in the perpetuation of com
 mercial war or tie fostering of hatred
 engendered by the present struggle in
 Europe. He said:
 Tt is q 1ebat2ble question whether
 the United States can become mem
 bel Of an international league of peace
 for the prevention Of future wars, but
 it is not at all doubtful that We can
 render any invaluable service with the
 establishment of lasting accord among
 the peoples of the earth by setting
 our face against anything that look.
 to the perpetuation of commercial wal
 in peace.
 Tt is difficult to realize the colossal scale on which Europe will have t. borrow to make good the destruction
 of war. At least $5,000,000 900 wortt, of property will have to be replaced, l and the demand of the work of re construction will be too vast to be met by private enterprise.
 "Co-operation on the broadest and
 most generous scale and in -he mos, l sympathetic spirit must be the rule, if economic recovery is to be quick 1 anc thorough. We shall greatly fla l cilitate international competition fo. l the general welfare of the world by establishing a competitive system of selling in foreign trade, among our
 selves. We shall greatly lessen the | probability of perpetuating in the do- main of commerce the bitterness and l hatred engendered by the war if We | refuse to be Crawn into any conven- | tion, agreement or understanding that would make us parties to a boycott 1 of the commerce of any of the nations now arraycd against each other Tu meet any attempted discrimination 1 against the exports of the Uniteo 1 states, We shall be free to choose our l own weapons and to invoke the ain l of our own government. But the ! American people will recognize the l fact that the poverty of Europe can 1 nOt contribute to their welfare any more than the misfortune to their i commercial and industrial rivals cal | promote the prosperity of their for i eien trade

 MT Curley, for Hunt, answered the argument, claiming that substantial evidence of compliance with tke law regarding ballot marking must be es tablished. The court asked If not for Dunlap though his name does not appear on the ballot, for whom shat these be counted?" MT.
