SENTENCE OF DEATH
WILL Be PRONOUNCED
UPON THOMAS mooney
Alleged Dynamiter Found
Guilty by Jury In Short
Order

San Francisco, Feb. 10.-Thoas J..
Mooney will be sentenced to death by
Superior Judge Franklin Griffin next
Tuesday, following his conviction of
murder in connection with the prepared
ness parade bomb which killed ten per-
sons.
In returning its venSst after six
hours deliberation last night, the jury
declined to include recommendation
OF clcmency and Judge Griffin has. no
alternative but to send the convicted
man to the gallows.
In the midst of the excitement which
swept the city following the verdict,
District Attorney Charles M. Fickert
created new sensation today when he
announced that he has confession bv
a co-conspirator reciting the details of
~ crimes in which, he asserted, nearly
all of the defendants in the dynamitinS
cases participated.
1.-THE preparedness parade dynamit-
ing lie declared, "was merely am in
cident in a conspiracy the extent of
which would amaze San Francisco. We
are only on the threshold of our prose
cutions. The sworn confession of the
co-conspirator covers crimes ranging
from dynamiting to murder comitted
in Sonora, Alameda, Contra Costa and
San Francisco counties.
This man has never been heard of
before in these bomb eases. His con.
fession vindicates the conviction of
Mooney but we have only scratched the
surface in achieving that.
Mooney reiterated his innocence to-
day.

The jurors declared that, although
they took ten ballots to determine

DR.. Anderson to the chair and took the
floor in defense of his decision He
said he referred it to the game com
mittee for the reason that Thomas was
on the fisheries committee. He said he
tried to be fair in the matter and has
tried to be fair all the way through
He said he believed the game commit
tee was fair about the matter.
Thomas again declared the game com
mittee was stacked against the Will
lamette bill and that if it was referred
TO that committee it would come out
with an adverse report. That it was a
measure to slyly slip the knife into the
Rogue river fishing bill he thoroughly
believed because the Willamette river
fishing men supported the Rogue river
bill and did not wish their bill killed
and therefore would try to have the
southern Oregon measure slaughtered.
Belland declared the fisheries commit
tee was fair and ought to handle the
matter.
In an effort to pour oil on the rough
eningf; waters that threatened to engulf
the house beyond its depths, RepreseH-
tative Bean said the matter could be
settled without an open break between
the members of the house He thought
perhaps it should not 90 to either the
game or the fisheries committees but to
a special committee that should be ap-
pointed of men who were outside the
fishing fights. He moved that it be
sent to a special committee.

PEACE PROPAGANDA is
BURDEN TO TELEGRAPH
Hundreds Of Messages Re-

Peace at Any Price
BY carl D. Groat.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Feb. 10.-The admins
.tration, fearing that ultimately war or
. Estate of war" with Germany must
come, is anxious to keep alive the mar
tial spirit in America. 1t wishes to
guard against the sapping influences of
AN undue sense of security. On the 9th
er hand, there is no manifest moves 10
raise an army for actual war, though
there has been some progress made to-
ward naval and economic preparedness.
This epitomizes the government posi-
tion today at the close of one week of
broken relations between the United
States and Germany
1t finds much of the neutral shipping
ordinarily plying the Atlantic shivering
in home ports; Germany has slain shin
travellers in an apparently indiserlmln-
ate sea war and shipping has been de
stroyed at the rate of about thrce-quar,
ters of million tons monthly.
With terrific possibilities ahead, the
government is anxious lest peace propa
ganda-and the absence of war-shal
hull the nation into an uniustifiablC
calm.
1t has prepared itself for internal diff
ficulties and there is talk of an army OF
half million with some discussion Of
various forms of military service.
Thus, far, however, these ideas have
not crystalized into actual action.
Insofar as an actual declaration OF
war is concerned, as 1t was expressed
officially after Yesterdays Is cabinet
meeting, that viii be upon Germany.

The president himself has determined
to follow the literal wording of hi
recent speech to eongress-to ask only
for the means of protecting American
seamen s and peoples lives He W.:
keep upon Germany the burden of any
actual declaration of war.
Meantime the work of neutrals t,
stave of war between the United State,
and Germany continues; while in anoth
er 10 days Ambassador Won Bernstorf
is expected to be aiding in his HON,
land to keep the peace between the twt
nations.
The neutrals themselves appear t,
fear Germany, hence are acting eau

goes, they will make every effort t,

BRITISH BELIEVE THAT
MANY SUBMARINES
ARE DESTROYED
Three Vessels We're TOrped-
Oed and Sunk Today, Ac-
COrding to Reports

Washington, Feb. 10.-Back Of the
mathematical Lloyd's reports on ship
destruction in Germany's U-boat cam
paign probably lies dramatic story of
British counter measures, inasmuch as
the tonnage reported wrecked now
seems dwindling.
With the falling off in tonnage sunk
the past two daysmay be only tempo
rary, some authorities here see in it the
possibility that Germany's era of
'frightfulness' in the barred area is to
be shortlived.
According to British circles today,
England prepared for Germany's sub
marine drive some time in advance She
set out new patrols and took steps to
see that liners were armed
Perhaps, it was suggested, England
already has established guarded lanes
of cruisers within the barred area, and
moreover, it is believed by naval auth
orities Germany has lost many of hel
submarines-though on this point the
British admiralty never will tell any
tales.
Some of Germany's undersca craft
have undoubtedly put back to Their
base before now, having used up their
supply of torpedoes. This may account
for the apparent decrease in activity,
though there is still another possibility
that some Of Germany's s efforts are
being hidden by the British admiralty

but there seems to have been wooden

and on Thursday night about eleven
o'clock that portion of the building

its way into the main Office and the
firemen were compelled to work hard
to save the property. AS it was great
damage was done by the breaking of
], 100 panes of glass and harm to other
contents of the building.
The greatest loss, however, was in
the wooden building where the fire
originated. In it there was stored q
large amount of paper and the print
ing trade knows that paper is paper
these times, and it is estimated there
was about $4,000 worth Of stock on

The smoke and SCOT covered the
machinery in the main Office but this
was soon fixed and everything was in
running order in few hours after the
force got to work the next morning.
How the fire started is mystery.
