CONSENT IF STATES
 ATTORNEY FAILS TO
 SECURE NEW TRIAL
rReoubIican A. p. Leased wirel

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11.-Thom- as J. Mooney, under sentence of death for murder growing out of bomb ex- plosion here last year, was denied a new trial today by the state supreme court The denial was based on the consent of State Attorney General IL. s. Webb for reversal of judgment and not on the record in the case.
 In it's decision the court held that it had no power under the constitution to consider matters outside the record in the case, and that authorities de- clare such applications should be made to the executive father than the judicial arm of the state government
 The attorney generals consent to a new trial for Mooney, who was con-
 victed last February for one of the murders in connection with an explo- sion during preparedness day parade July 22, 1916, which killed ten persons followed the expose of Frank C.. OK
 mans alleged attempt to suborn per jury in the case Webb at that tim,
 declared Mooney was entitled to a new trial 'in the interest of justice" The court declared subsequently, that Webbs mere consent" constituted
 nothing that it could act upon and in vited a motion in support of the con- sent from the defendants counsel. This motion, recently filed and ar gued, was opposed in memorandum filed by District Attorney Charles M Fickert, who declared the attorney generals stipulation of consent wa. irregular and vicious"
 Moneys appeal for reversal O. | judgment on the record of the cas,
 is not affected by today's decision, ac. cording to his counsel.
 Oxman, who was material witnes: 1 against Mooney, will be brought |, ] trial tomorrow

Premier kerenskys provisional government, depends largely, in the opinion of officials and diplomats here on the speed with which the situation develops.
 If the deposed comnander-in- chief, now reporttd frarching on Petrograd with s,5ops personally loyal to him, makes a spectacular show of strength. within the next few days, it is believed strong po- liticaI influences, now secretly wavering in allegiance to the gov ernment, may swing over, give him preponderance of authority and pave the Wa yfor a powerful dic- tatorship.
 If Premier kerensky on the other hand, is able to hold fast to the support of enough of the various political groups on whose attitude the allegiance of the army largely deRends, he may crush the revolt quickly, adopt some of the strict disciplinary rules advocated by the korniloff element and weld the democratic forces into a stronger instrument to fight Germany.
 The complete ascendency of either kerensky or korniloff would satisfy most persons here most in terested in Russia's well being. 1t is the middle situation, the con flict which would make the Rus sians kill Russians, which they fear and which, judging by today's unofficial dispatches, seems en-

 PETROGRAD, (via London), Sept. 12.-(British admiralty per wireless press )-An official announcement says:
 "The superior officers everywhere are acting in agreement with the reyo- lutionary commissaries of the govern ment and the committees at the front. General Denikine, commander of the southwestern front, and the whole of his headquarters staff have been ar rested. General Erdelli, former mili- tary governor of Petrograd, who dis obeyed army commands has also been arrested. together with several mem bers of his staff.
 "The Baltic fleet, with it's officers. has unanimously placed itself on the side of the provisional government. "Only small detachments of troops have been moved toward Petrograd by Korniloff. Through deception they have remained deluded regarding their position. The further advance of these escelons has been arrested and the bonds between them broken. In dividual units of them have sent dele gates to Petrograd with the request that they be furnished with orders to arrest those commanders who have betrayed the provisional government The government has taken meas ures to put Petrograd in a state of defense against attacks, and the hope is entertained that all bloodshed of civil war will be avoided.
 Evidence of the loyalty of the | troops and people to the provisional government is being received from all | the provinces, while all public organ iZations have announced their determ- | inatiOn to support the revolutionary government by every possible means "It is essential to the safety of the | fatherland that complete unity of ac- 1 tion be preserved.

MPTROLLER SAYS
 DEAD BANKER WAS
 EMBEzZ[ER-FORGER
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11-Comp- troller Williams issued a statement to- night asserting investigation had dis closed that the late J. B. Martindale, president of the Chemical National Bank of New York, who died in July, 1917, was an embezzler and forger to the extent of about $300,00O. The amount was taken, the comptroller an- nounced, from the account of a wealthy depositor and the bank has arranged to make good the entire sum.
 Capital and surplus of the bank
 amounting to $10,000,000, MT Williams
 said, was not impaired in the slightest
 degree by the alleged operations of
 Martindale. The statement said Mar
 tindale had been president of the bank
 since December, 1910, and prior to that
 had been for number of years it's
 vice president
 "The loss" says the statement, Twill be charged out of the banks undivided profits, which at the present time amount to over s1.500, 900 after charg- ing off the s30O,O00
 "The suspicious of the banks of- ficers were aroused while Martindale was absent from the bank, ill in a hospital, shortly before his death. The money was not stolen directly from 1 the bank, but was obtained by mani pulating the deposit account of a l wealthy depositor for whom Martindale | acted as financial advisor and trusted agent. Under President Martindale's | instructions. the statements of this l depositor's account were rendered by 1 the bank periodically to Martindale ard he then manipulated them before submitting them to the depositor. l "The method by which Martindale obtained most of the money was by withdrawing money from this depos- | itor's account either through a forged | check or by a debit slip signed by | himself as president.

Republican A.P Leased wire1

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1
 The internal situation in Russia still remains grave and chaotic and just how it will be subdied is inn possible to forecast. Apparently, however, the chasm of discord has so widened that either M. kerensky head of the provisional government, or General korniIoff, the deposed commander-in- chief of the armies, who is opposing kerensky and who demands almost dictatorial powers, will be enguIfed.
 At the present moment neither side seems willing to make conces- sions. kerensky, at the head of the government in Petrograd, is bend ing all his energy toward the sup pression of the turmoil created by korniloff and his followers which korniloff is reported to be ap- preaching Petrograd with troops in order to lay siege to the capital.
 korniloff has declared that his revolt against kerensky is ani- mated by the highest patriotism and desire to save Russia from a government dominated by the Ger man general staff.

 The fact that the submarines at tackled the merchant fleet in such force led to the conclusion that the German commander enormously thought he had to deal with troop transports or with army supply ships.
