Wants Wilson s
Notes In Mooney
Case Published
(By Associated Press.l

Sacramento. Calf, July 27.-Dis-
trict Attorney Charles NJ. Fickert OF
San Francisco, according to a Sac
ramento paper, today sent a letter to
Gov. William D. Stephens request
ing him to make public the COM
munications he had received from
President Wilson regarding the
Thomas J. Mooney case. In this let
ter and an affidavit accompanying
1t, Fickert makes charges regarding
the mediation commission sent here
by the President to investigate,
among other things. the Mooney
trial.
/ The affidavit said Felix Frankfurt
er, secretary Of the commission, de-
clared the investigation then under
way was due solely to the fact that
the President of the United States
had been misled in relation to the
Mooney case by persons connected
with the Bolshevik government in
Russia.
Fickert further swore that Frank
furter said if the commission made
any report favorable to Mooney, it
would be done solely to satisfy the
demands Of the radicals in the Uni
, ted States and Russia.
mooney was convicted Oh HuEueE
as a result Of the preparedness day
bomb explosion in San Francisco on
July %, 1916. in which ten per
sons were killed and 40 others
wounded. MONEYS attorneys re-
Gently exhausted their legal efforts
to obtain a new trial and Mooney

SEANEN'S STRIKE

SHIPPING BOARD
Public Informed Of Both
Sides of Controversy by
Chairman Hurley
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, July 27.--In the face
= OF a threatened strike of seamen on
the Great Lakes, which would tie up
the transportation Of iron ore. coal
and wheat essential to the war pro-
gram; the shipping board last night
issued a statement informing the
public Of every step in the controv-
ersy and declaring the board does

ing out the disastrous effects which
q strike would have upon the coun-
try and It's consequent effect on the
prosecution Of the war.
Chairman Hurley signed the state
ment because the strike resolutions
was so worded as to make the board
a party to the strike.
In the issuing of this statement %
Mr.. Hurley said, "the shipping board
has gone fully into the grievances
mentioned in the joint strike reso-
luton because Of the grave menace
to the national safety involved in
a strike on the Great Lakes. A

BRITISH HONOR
HERBERT HOOVER
Premier Speaks At Dinner
Where American Is
Honor Guest

London, July 27.-The government
gave q dinner Thursday even
ing in honor OF Herbert c. Hoover,
the American food administrator;
Victor Boret, French minister Of
provisions, and DR.. Silvio Crespi.
Italian food minister.
J. r. Clypes, the British food con-
troller, who presided, said that oW-
ing to assistance from the United
States, bacon and ham hereafter
would be sold without coupons.
Premier Lloyd George paid a
glowing tribute to Mr.. Hoover. He
said that through him America had
achieved a great triumph in secur-
ing q large number OF people in
Europe from want and starvation.
There was now no fear whatever, he
declared, that the allies would be
starved out. g
Germany, continued the premier,
had made the greatest gamble in
her history: she hadspitted her whole
destiny upon the success OF the
submarine campaign, and it had
failed. It was not altogether a
question of food. 1t was a question
Of tonnage. America was sending
hundreds OF thousands of men
monthly. 1t was a great and valiant
army WnlCu Already Eau appeared III
great numbers on the battlefield and
had added fresh laurels to those
browning the brow Of the American
republic. More were coming and
next year It would be a gigantic
amy and it was question Of bring
ing supplies for that army.
This would absorb more tonnage
than carrying the men themselves.
America was building ships at a.
great rate and her program was a
great success. Great Britain also
was building as fast as she could,
but in addition to building she had
to keep her gigantic fleet repaired
and most Of the repairs to American
ships must be done in Great Britain.
Consequently there was q limit to
the number Of ships which could be
turned out.
While the number of ships was
increasing enormously, the premier
continued, the demand on shipping
was greater and the essential need
of economy in food and every other
commodity must be kept firmly in
mind.

.JezCS Ask Wilson
To ImterCede
fRv ARsocIated Press

London, July 27.-The Jews Of Ru-
mania have cabled a request to the
American Zionist organization to pc
tition President Wilson to bring his
influence to bear against the enact
ment by the Rumanian parliament Of
contemplated laws which, they say,
will result in depriving them Of the
few remaining rights still left to
them.
The proposed laws provide that
naturalization shall be denied to any
person, both Of whose parents have
not been born in Rumania. This,
they assert, would prevent at least
two thirds of the Jews Of Rumania
from receiving naturalization papers.
These laws are to be enacted in ac-
cordance with the terms Of the Ger
man Peace treaty.

our allies. No strike should be call
ed which might be based upon a mis-
understanding Of what has happen
ed, or which is capable Of a differ
ent solution"
The Reasons Given.
The first reason given for. striking
was to compel the Lake Carriers
association to Cooperate with the
government in training seamen.
1.-THE board has not decided to use
the Great Lakes for training and
recruiting marines, as it has used
the coast, but has left the field
largely to the navy" the board de-
clared in reply. However, patrio-
tically conceived this part of the
resolution may be- it cannot con-
stitute a ground for strike"
Refusal of the Lake Carriers as
ISOLATION to SEND representatives to
here last May, because such attend
ance would beg recognition that or
ganized labos represented their en-
ployes, which they denied, was made
the second ground for striking.
1.-THE shipping board regrets the
attitude, Of the Lake Carriers as
ISOLATION in this respect" Mr.. Hur-
ley's statement said, "but in view OF
the national labor policy pronulgat-
ed by the Presidents proclamation
Of April 81 1918, (Which provided
that the war should not be used to
force change in labor relations) it
did not feel that it would be iusti-
fed in forcing the lake carriers to
meet with Representatives of the
unions"
Much OF the bitterness between
the seamen and their employers has
arisen over the welfare plan dis
charge book'' adopted by the asso-
citation. as a means Of keeping a
record Of each mans service. and
objected to by the unions because Of
the alleged use of the books to black
list men active in organized labor.
The shipping board ordered the
adjustment Of the books and the
substitution of certificates. and, it's
statement today said the Lake Car
riers' association has taken steps
to comply with the orders, and the
decisions have met all the reason
able objections Of the unions.
Demands for increased pay were
made IN the strike resolution, which
nevertheless suggested that they
be arbitrated.

Jones based his support for the
Indians with the following:

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Pessimlstic Crop Reports From Nebraska
Bring Sharp Advance in Corn.

Chicago. Aug. 12.--Pessimistc crop re-
ports from Nebraska and Missouri, to-
gether with complaints of excessive heat In
the southwest had much to do today with
bringing about sharp advances In the price
of corn. The market closed strong, &c to
shc net higher. with September s1.62b to
$1.6s%, and October sl63M to s1.63A.
Oats gained Nc to %@%c. The finish in
provisions ranged from l6c decline to rise
of cent.
Except Just at the outset and during an
other brief interval an hour later. the corn
market showed decided upward ten
oency throughout the day. Tho temporary
setbacks were ascribed to reports Of scat
tered showers, but opinion became general
that the moisture thus supplied was in
adequate. Then q leading expert went on
record with a statement that owing to ir-
reparabe injury by heat and drouth the
government estimate yield for Nebraska
and Missouri would prove 100, 100000 bush
els too large. Crop damage reports were
also at hand from southern Illinois and
from Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas.
Large receipts depressed oats. but later
the strength Of corn gave prices an upward
swing.
In provisions, tho fact that hogs had
touched S20.l5, the topmost point on record
was a strengthening factor. Demand for
pork however, was lacking.
