Washington. Nov. 29-Cemmuta-

charges OF perjury in connection

Mr., Morirson's statement follows:
"Organized labor will be in full
accord with Governor Stephens
statement that:
1T is, of course, unnecessary to
argue the point that whatever
Mooney, character or his pase rec.
ord might have been, this particu-
lar case must be determined upon
its merits
"In my judgement, however, the
Communication does not in any way
settle this ctse.
ut must be recalled that the trade
union movement, in urging new
trial for Mooney, takes the position
that the charges OF perjury in con-
ne ,tion with his conviction make a
new trial imperative. This position
is identical with that Of Superior

Tor the occasion Of the meeting a
telephone had been placed on the
table of President Forrest c. Tyson
and a message received for DR.. L.
L. Dolliver relating to local politics
furnished a good deal of amusement
DR.. Spaulding, the speaker at fhe
meeting, was introduced by Prest-
dent Tyson as a former president
OF The Maine Medical Association
ana one Of the editors Of the Maine
Medical Journal. DR.. Spaulding
had been in Germany many times
and his talk was filled with stories
about the German people. Regard
ing the origin of the name Hohen-
zollern he stated that about 200 years
ago there was in Germany family
who collected from all people who
went by a tax. 1t being a zoll, and
from the fact that the family lived
on a hill originated the first part Of
tn, name, Hohen.
The peculiarities and degeneracy OF
members OF the family of the Hohenzoi-
lerns down to and including the present
time were told by the speaker. Regard
ing Kaiser William, the speaker said
that he was subject to epileptic hts'
that he is unstable in character, that he
is fond of teasing people, that he wants
to do everything that anyone else can
do. and that he loves to see blood shed.
and that when he went hunting he
would not be content to kill two or three
deer or fox but would kill so or 100 just
to see the blood. And the speaker said
that in the same way the Kaiser is
thirsty for the blood of mankind. Many
things about the physical ailments OF
the Kaiser were told by DR.. Spaulding.
The speaker showed the keystone OF
the whole war 70 be the kingdom of
Serbia and stated that 1t should be
made an independent kingdom. He also
spoke OF Alsace-Lorraine and showed
the natural boundary between France
and Germany to be the river Rhine.
Those present at the Rotarian meet
ing were so pleased with DR.. Spauld-
ing's talk concerning the Kaiser that
they urged him to sQeak about the
crown prince of Germany. Briefly the
speaker told of marks about the feat
ures of the crown prince that showed
him to be a degenerate and a man
with no will power and ability, and
stated that in his opinion there was lit
tic chance of real peace without the
suppression Of the whole house of the
Hohenzollerns.
