San Francisco, Jan. 3.-With W.
.Bourke Cochran occupying the spot
light as chief counsel for the defense,
the second trial resulting from the
preparedness parade dynamltlng mere
began in superior court today.
@@Thos. ]. Mooney, alleged leader or
the four men, and one woman, ac-
.c11sed of having plotted to place the
bomb which exploded in the midst OF
sparaders on July last, killed ten per-
sons and injured so, was on trial for
his life
The presence of Cochran has drawn
the attention of the country to the
trial in much the same way tnat
Clarence Darrow's activity in the de-
tense of the Mcnamara brothers Ore"
the country's attention to that trial
five years ago.
Following the conviction in Septem-
be of Warren K. Billings, first OF the
five alleged conspirators tried.
Cochran for Defense.
Cochran, noted New York lawyer,
volunteered his services to the de-
tense. He will serve without COM
Ipensation, according to officers OF
the International Workers Defensive
League, which is conducting the de-
tense.
Indicted with Mooney as a Code
fendant is his wife, Rena Mooney, a
music teacher and strike organizer.
Thomas Mooney, leader OF the de-
5fendants. was active in spreading
strike propaganda and had planned
to cause a general strike of United
RAILWAYS platform men here short
time before the fatal preparedness
day parade.
E:n What is Alleged.
It was alleged by the prosecution
that the bomb had been set to ex-
yplode at a time when non-unlon en-
ployes of the street railway lines
would pass the point where the bomD
had been placed at Steuart and Mar
kets streets, but that delay in the
start of the parade upset the plans
of the dynamiters.
The defense declares all the DE-
PENDANTS are innocent and are VIC
tins of circumstantial evidence.
Mooney surrendered to the police
after reading newspaper statements
that he was implicated in the crime.
He was stopping at summer resort
at that time.
The case has been featured by sew
eral alleged confessions which were
later refuted. A number OF photo-
graphs taken on the day of the pre-
Daredness parade are held by both
sides as evidence.
The trial opened in Superior Judge
Frank P. DUNES chambers. Dis
trict Attorney Charles M. Fickert ana
a CORPS of deputies represent the
prosecution while Cochran and Max
well McNutt represent the defense.

is not expected that many more will

some who will arrive later.
Secretary Nils Madison of the Be-

day, returning last evening. He was
seen by representative of the Pio-

view said:

Everything is quiet at Gemmell

Extensive Land Owner Will Take the
Matter Directly to the State
Legislature.
PROJECTS TO DRAIN SMALL
TRACTS; SPECULATORS BUSY
Intends to Take Movement Up With
Every Interested Taxpayer That
Can Be Reached.

Duluth, Jan. 3.-Further light on
the alleged fallacy of building drain
age bitches under some of the pres
ent legislation and methods in Ait
kin, Beltrami and St. Louis counties
was offered when L. M. Depue, an ex-
tensive land owner of Northern Min
nesota announced his intention of
taking the matter directly to the
present legislature for remedial leg
islatiOn.
The announcement follows close on
the heels of the expose by G. G.
Hartley of Duluth of the alleged
squandering of public moneys on
bitches in Aitkin county, made in a
letter to C. C. Andrews, secretary of
the state forestry board.
my interests take me constantly
through sections of Aitkin, Beltrami
and St. Louis counties where swamps
are being drained by the state" said
Mr.. Depue at the Mckay hotel last
night, land while am always a
supporter of any legitimate improve
ment project, the present methods of
building bitches represents plain,
everyday squandering of the peoples
money.
"The best example is shown in the
projects to improve some of the many
scattered small tracts of state land
which are entirely, or almost entirely,
surrounded by unimproved specu-
lators' property. The state has many
4O-acre tracts scattered about the
northern part of it.

county, and almost in the center of it
is a 40-acre tract owned by the state.
My land entirely surrounds it. Sup
pose the state should drain that tract,
who would benefit the most, the state,
with it's paltry 40 acres, or myself
with my hundreds of acres through
which the ditch must pass? OF
course that particular tract has not
been proposed for drainage but sim
liar projects are being carried out in
the other counties.
system in it's true light. AS he says,
building peat roads on the sides OF
the bitches lessons fire protection
without providing justifiable high
ways. l shall take this matter up
with every interested taxpayer and
land owner of the state that 1 can
reach, in the hope that the united
action of these may bring about some
remedial laws.
almost all of the good lands have
been sold already" he declared, land
it certainly is wasteful for the state
to spends thousands of dollars ex-
travagantly improving lands that
probably will never bring a good
price,
