MOONEY DENIED NEW TRIAL
Frank oxman, Charged With Perjury
in Same Connection, viii
Be Tried Soon.

San ancisco-Thomas ]. Mooney,
under sentence Of death for murder
growing out of bomb explosion here
last year, which killed 10 persons, was
denied a new trial by the state SUI
preme court. The denial was based
on the consent of State Attorney-Gen-
eral U. S. Webb for reversal of judg-
ment and not on the record in the
case.
In its decision the court held that it
had no power under the constitution
to consider matters outside the rec
ord in the case and that authorities
declare such application should be
made to the executive rather than the
judicial arm of the state government /"
The attorney-general's consent to a
new trial for Mooney followed the ex-
pose of Frank c. Oxman's alleged at
tempt to suborn perjury in the case.
Webb at that time declared Mooney
was entitled to new trial lin the
interest of justice"
Oman, who was a material witness
against Mooney, will be brought to
trial soon.

Washington--A series of important
conferences are going here and in
London and Paris to find a method OF
combating the latest development OF
the German submarine warfare at
tacks in force"
Secretary of the Navy Daniels said
long dispatches had been received
from Admiral Sims, commander OF
the fleet in Europe of discussions
of policy with the allied naval com
manders.
The attacks in force, recently re-
sorted to by the Germans are in real

ly have the allied nations, especially
America, combatted the submarine

forced to change their tactics from
waylaying and attacking individual
ships to actions by fleets Of U-boatss
More important, they have been COM
PEELED to accept a situation where the
sacrifice Of one or two submarines
has been made in order to sink one
or two merchantmen.
The reason for the acceptance Of
these conditions are practically as
follows:
/. Practically 100 per cent of the
American merchant vessels have been
heavily armed with guns manned by
expert naval gunners.
2. Increase in the number OF arm
ed British vessels and increased eff.
cnecy of the crews.
8. Introduction Of an alright sys-
tenn of conveying vessels through the
war zone to British and French ports.
4. A trebling of the number of the

According to the very best informa-
ton obtainable from all sources not
a single vessel Of any kind has been
sunk when it was conveyed by the
American warships.

RI0TING IN BUEN1S AIRES
GERMAN STORES LOOTED AND
HOUSES WRECKED.
Police Wound Seven Rioters and Place
Teutonlc Legations Under
Heavy Guard.

Buenos Aires.-The rioting which
began here in an anti-German demon
stration, following the handing of pass
ports to the German minister, Count
Luxburg, continued throughout the
night. Every German business house
and restaurant in the downtown dis
trict was wrecked. The German club
and several other buildings were dam
aged seriously by fire. The police
wounded seven rioters seriously when
they fired into the crowd. Three of
the injured are expected to die.
At first the crowds were so unman-
ageable that the police closed all the
streets leading to the German lega-
ton and consulate. The archives in
these buildings we're taken to storage
vaults for safe keeping. Firemen,
armed with rifles, prevented the mob
from destroying the offices Of the Ger
man Transatlantic Co., which supplies
the city light. Heavy forces of pro
vincial troops are guarding the rail-
way over which the German minister
will arrive from the Andes.
The cabinet approved the action of
President Irigoyen in presenting pass
ports to Count Luxburg. 1t is said to
have considered similar action in the
case of Baron Lowan, the Swedish
minister, but no action will be taken
pending the receipt of further details
from Washington or Stockholm.

EMBARGO ONCOAL EXPORTS
LATIN AMERICA BEING coNslD-
Erred ON LIST.
United States and England Plan Ac.
ton to Prevent Food Shipments
From Reaching Germany.

Washington.-If it becomes neces-
sary to prevent food shipments from
reaching Germany from South Amer
lea through the European countries,
the United States and Great Britain
are preparing to supply the strictest
embargo on coal exports to the Latin
American republics. Operations OF a
coal embargo and bunkering restric-
tions, it is declared, would stop i'm
mediately all food shipments from
South America.
Some of the Latin-American coun-
tries, although they have broken off
relations with Germany, are said to
have made no efforts to check their
food exports to the European neu-
trails.
Another phase of the situation is
developed by reports that much of the
German money spent for propaganda
purposesSin North and South America
is furnished by German-owned pub
lie utilities concerns in South Amer
lean cities. More than half billion
dollars of German money Is said to
be invested in such public utilities.
This produces an annual profit Of
about $5O,OOO,OO0.
BY cutting off coal to these con-
Germs, 1t is declared, the South Amer
lean governments would be forced to
take over the enterprises for opera,

Observation-Disclosures count in the
Indictment against anti-neutral Swe-
den has been filed in the court Of
world opinion by the American state
department. It is backed by evidence
showing collision between Swedish
and German diplomatic officers to
transmit military news from Mexico
10 Berlin through the medium and I'M
der the cover of the Swedish diplo-
matte code.
II is confidently expected here that
the Carranza government of Mexico,
now looking to the United States for
a substantial loan to tide it over its
financial difficulties, will take meas
ures such as those taken and under
consideration by Argentina, which will
Enthusiastically record its resentment OF
the Swedish-German violation of its
hospitality and diplomatic privilege.
The state departments disclosure,
made public, consists of the text of
the translation Of letter written in
March, 1916, by Admiral Won Eek
hardt, the German minister to Mexico,
TO Herr Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the
then German chancellor. The letter
recommended that the crown order
of the second class be bestowed by
Emperor William on Folks Cronholm,
the Swedish charge d'affaires in Mex
leo City, for having aided in the
transmission of military news to the
German government.
"Able to Get Data"
HE is the only diplomat through
whom information from hostile camp
can be obtained wrote the German
minister to the imperial chancellor in
giving his reasons why Germany
should show its gratitude of Herr
Cronholm's services.

fidential letter which Minister Won
Eckhardt wrote to the chancellor d.

ment. The German minister in Mex

war, in order not to excite the enc
any's suspicion" it would be well to
tell no one Of the comforting Of the
decoration, except the Swedish recipi-
ent Of the honor and the Swedish gov
eminent.
This reference was interpreted here
as indicating that the Swedish govern
ment was in on the deal by which the
result Of spy work in behalf of Ger
many was to be made known to the
herman authorities in Berlin through
he Swedish foreign office at Stock
Rolm. There is no apparent fear in
Minister Eckhardts letter that the
Swedish government would object to
the kaiser decorating its charge in
Mexico for unneutral services to Ger
many.
