POWDER EXPERTS ARE WITNESSES
 IN MOONEY TR|AL
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.-Two powder experts. Arthur H. Crane and James C. Costello were the states chief witnesses today in the murder trial of Mrs Rena Mooney. which grew out of bomb explosion which killed ten per sons here last July.
 The composition of bombs. the eff fleets of explosions and methods of de- tonating explosives were explained by the powder experts.
 An alarm clock, which the state con- tends had device on it's back for exploding bombs was submitted for Identification by Assistant District At torney Ferrari. who said he would con- meet the alarm clock with the defend ants in the bomb cases. Costello who said he had viewed the scene of the explosion at Steuart and Market streets fifty minutes after it oc- cured, expressed a positive opinion that the bomb exploded on the side walk. It is the states contention that the bomb contained in a suitcase was left on the sidewalk. The defense con- tends the bomb was thrown from roof of a building
 What made you arrive at the opin- ion that the explosion occurred on the sidewalk" asked Ferrari. The surrounding mass showed the detonation occurred right there" said Costello. Had the explosion occurred above the sidewalk. the effects would have shown a wider range.
 Tn answer to hypothetical question by Ferrari. Arthur H. Crane a powder expert in the employ of a powder man ufacturing concern, testified that a bomb such as Ferrari described to him. could not have contained more than four pounds of forty per cent dynamite
 Three pounds of dynamite could have accomplished just what was asked in your hypothetical question" Crane said
 Crane asserted he had never used a clock TO explode dynamite.
 Tt can be done that way. can it?" asked Ferrari.
 "Ch. yes answered Crane.
 Tn what directions do the forces eX o--t themselves when dvramite is eX- ploded while in the air?" Crane was asked.
 "The forces exert themselves in all directions said Crane. If the dyna mite is enclosed it breaks out at the Weakes- point"
 Crane, recalled to the stand later, said he believed the bomb exploded from the sidewalk He based his opin ion. he said. on the holes in the side walk and wall, the accompanying pow der marks and the condition of an awning suspended above the site of the blast.
 There were few dry eyes in the court room late today when Marie and Rich ard Van Loo. four and ten years re- spectively. exhibited their scared legs to the jury.

Total Now S14.0O0.0OO

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-NeW con tributions of more than $2,260,000. bringing total subscriptions to the S100,000, GOO Red Cross war fund to more than s14,O00,000 were announced tonight by Seward Prosser, chairman of the war finance executive committee
 America today turned to the task of raising $100,000,0 GOO for the Red Cross in an eight day campaign.
 Telegrams pouring into the office of the Red Cross war council tonight told stories of generous donations in almost every section. Campaign con- mittees of many cities wired they already had raised the sum tenta- lively allotted them, or had exceeded the amount, but were planning an active canvass until the campaign closes next Monday midnight.
 Hundreds of public meetings were held today and tonight with some of the country's foremost men among the speakers. Military or civic pa rades were arranged to aid in col lecting funds, which will be used both for American spiders and sail ors and for relief work in war strlck- en districts of Europe. A few cor porations withheld dividends until to- day and paid them with the rec concentrations that the proceeds be donated to the Red Cross. Presi- dent Wilson telegraphed mayors of 100 cities urging them to devote their efforts to helping the solicitation work in their communities.
 The campaign committee at Den yer whose apportionment was S20o,- 000, decided this was too little and set a new goal of S500,000. A mes sage from there tonight said pros poets were bright for raising the larger sum. Wichita, Kas., announc- ed forty $1,00O subscriptions were ob- tained within a few hours after the campaign opened.
 Miss Ruth Law, who made airplane flights for the liberty loan flew over West Virginia towns today dropping bombs containing Red Cross cam paign literature.

BELGIUM WILL BE RESTORED WIEN WAR

Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-In greet ing Belgium's war mission today Presi- dent Wilson expressed Americas "sol- emn determination that on the inevit- able day of victory Belgium shall be restored to the place she has so richly won among the self respecting and re- speeted nations of the earth
 The commissioners spent the first day in Washington paying official calls. Secretary Lansing accompanied them to the White House, where Baron Mon cheur head of the mission, handed to President Wilson personal letter from King Albert and expressed in short address Belgium's gratitude for Amer icas aid.
 Since the first days of the greatest tragedy which has ever befallen hu- manity,'' said the baron, Belgium has contracted an immense debt of grati tude to the generous American nation. In a magnificent outburst of sympathy for the little country which had chosen to delay a powerful and pitiless enemy rather than to tarnish its honor or for swear it's plighted word, the initiative of American citizens gave to the un- | fortunate victims of German cruelty in Belgium the most splendid evidences of i generosity.
 But the chivalrous sentiments which animate the people of the United States went further than this when President ! Wilson, giving an admirable example of disinterested power, uttered the words well fitted to make us tremble with 1 hope and to cause us to fix our eyes l confidently upon the starry banner which has become more than ever the symbol of strength placed at the serv- ice of highest and most pure principles

DIPLOMACY AND STOCKYARDS MAKE
 AN ACQUAINTANCE
Republican A. p. ceased wirel

CHICAGO, June 1S.-Diplomacy and the Chicago stock yards made the ac- quaintance of one another today One of the most enthusiastic receptions which the diplomats composing the Italian commission to the United States have received in their tour of the mid dle west was given by the heterog- eneous population of the district to which more than any other the world looks for its supply of meat in the pres ent food shortage. The distinguished visitors in their turn, repaid the con- pliment in brief speeches after a lunch con at the Saddle and Sirloin club.
 T have unfortunately chosen the dip- lomatic field as my life work" said the Marquis Luigi Borsarelli. 'I have regretted that very much. l re- gretted that especially today when was able to see and admire and appre- ciate the results that you have achieved here. If l should have another life to live, l assure you I would choose the occupation which you follow rather than my own."
 Reference to the food situation was made by Arthur Meeker, of Armour x Co, in endorsing the Lever bill now in congress. He assured the visitors that the problem of transportation settled, the United States would be able to sup ply them all the food they may need.
 Luncheon at the stock yards fol- lowed a drive over the city, during which the commission stopped at the statue of Lincoln in Lincoln Park and paid tribute to the emancipator in plac- ing a wreath on the monument. A for nal dinner tonight concluded the enter tainment of the visitors before their departure for Pittsburg.

DEBATE STARTS
 0V SECOND BILL
 FUR FOOD CONTROL
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre7

W WASHINGTON, June 1S.-ODening of debate today in both branches of congress on the second administration food bill-for governmental control of foodstuffs and other necessaries-dis- closed determined opposition particu- larly by a group of senators which threatened to prevent its enactment by July l, as urgently requested by Pres ident Wilson.
 Passage of the bill by the house late this week is confidently expected by ad- ministration leaders. But advocates as well as opponents in the senate say de- bate will be protracted there for several weeks and unless the president adopts some extraordinary steps to hasten ac- tion, for law hardly can be enacted in time to set up the food administration before harvesting begins.
 Administration supporters privately expressed fear tonight of a senate fiji buster. They are prepared if necessary, to invoke for the first time the senate S -filibuster rules.
 In an effort to allay senate opposi- tion, it was arranged today to have a conference tomorrow between senators and Herbert C. Hoover At the sug- gestion of Senator Ransdell, MT Hoover was invited to appear at d public meet ing of the agricultural committee to- morrow morning before the senate con- venes and explain the legislation. A general invitation to all senators to at tend and question MT. Hoover was eX- tended.
 Both houses made the measure their pending business with the purpose of keeping the legislation continuously under discussion until disposed of, ex- flllded NirfI1allv a1l Otb bo house held the first of a series of night sessions to expedite the debate and night sessions may be resorted to later in the senate.
 Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, chos- en to have charge of the bill in the senate, urged it as war necessity, de- claring governmental control of food as essential as men and munitions Senator Sheppard of Texas, democrat, and Senator Kenyon of Iowa, republi- can, also spoke in behalf of the bill.
 In the house Chairman Lever of the house agricultural committee empha sized the necessity of the legislation. He said the president could be trusted with the powers proposed and that they would be invoked against crooks" and not against legitimate business interest.
 Opposition in the senate was voiced by Senators Gore. chairman of the agricultural committee; Reed anG Vardaman, democrats, and Gallinger, republican.
 In the house opposition was led by Representatives Haugn of Iowa, repub- lican, and Young of Texas, democrat. Both declared the legislation unneces- sary and unwise and aimed, almost solely at the rural producers.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-A tenta the government today on steel for the great fleet of merchant ships to be built by the shipping boards emergency fleet corporation. Previous contracts, let before congress gave the president p9Ueo 'seHddns L97pueWmo3 ol I9Mod for steel at $95.
 Todays contracts went to the Dow ney Construction company of New York for ten vessels and were signed by Chairman Denman of the shipping board after he had refused to approve them when they first came to him from Major General Goethals, general man. ager of the fleet corporation, naming a price of S95.
 The price of $56 will stand, MT. Den man announced today until final fig ure is set by the president or by some agency he may designate.
 Since the government now has the power to enforce a lower price," said Chairman Denman, T could not go on approving contracts at S95. If the price of S56 is raised finally, the steel plants will be refunded; if it is lowered, the government will benefit by the reduc- tion
 The country steel pants, II was Sald today, accepted the price of S56 on con- dition that it's acceptance would not determine the final price to be paid. Steel men, it is said. estimate the cost of production at around $i5. but they have been able to sell all the plates they could produce at from S95 to $125 1 The commercial demand, however, will
 ease with the governments acquisition | ing of ship building and snip yard facli- ities
 | Talk of differences between MT. Den i man and General Goethals over the i ship building program were revived 1 here today with Mir Denman's forcing down the price of steel. General Goe- thals, it is understood, feels he cannot
 accomplish half as much as he might
