ASK WILSON HELP
|. IN MOONEY CASE
President Urged to Use His Good
Office TO Get New Trial if Con-
victiOn is Sustained.

Washington, jan 26.-Recommen-
dalton that President Wilson use his
good offices to induce California au-
thOrities to bring about new trial
for Thomas j. Mooney in case the Cal
ifornia supreme court sustains his
conviction for completely in the San
Francisco bomb outrages was made
today by the presidents mediation
commission.
In a report to the president, the
commission which has conducted an
exhaustive examination of the trials of
Mooney, Warren X. Billings. Mrs.
Rena Mooney and Israel Weinberg,
declared this could be done by post
poning the execution of the death SEN
tence imposed on Mooney awaiting the
outcome of new trial based upon
prosecution under one OF the untried
indictments against him.
A history of the four cases is given
in the report and the conclusion
reached that Mooney case soon re-
solved itself into a new aspect of an
old industrial feud instead of a SUBJ
ject demanding calm search for the
truth.
THE evidence submitted on the four
trials taken together. aimed at the es-
Enlistment of single issue: Their
joint participation in the crime. While
each record in itself presents evidence
which would justify an appellate court
in sustaining the verdict OF jury the
evidence of the four cases in their en-
tirety must shake confidence in the
justice of the convictions

Europe VietU Is
Not Altered bu
TeutOnic Talk

London, Jan. 26.-The view enter
tanned by a majority of the morning
newspapers of London respecting the
speeches of Chancellor Won Hertling
and Foreign Minister Czernin is that
Germany regards herself as the con-
queror, that she is determined upon
aggression and is prepared to listen
to no peace terms except her own, and
that, therefore, the war must 60 on.
1t is admitted that the tone of the
Austro- Hungarian foreign minister is
more conciliatory than that of the
German chancellor, but this it attrib-
uted largely to the pressure Of inter-
nal conditions in Austria Hungary.
Count Czernin's respectful references
to President Wilson's address are re-
ceived coolly for the most part be-
cause of his declared fidelity to the
alliance with Germany
The Daily News urges the most ia
vorable Interpretation of Chancellor
Won Hertling's utterances. 1t says
that although superficial examination
of the speech may not encourage the
idea of change in tone, closer study
will justify that idea
1.-THE speech as whole offers no
basis for peace, but in no sense shuts
the door,"
The Morning Post thinks Chancellor
Won Hertling's evident anxiety to pla-
cate America is very remarkable and
cannot reconcile his protested agree
ment with President Wilson's general
principles, while differing as to de-
tails, but assumes that the speech was
constructed as so many have inter-
preted it, with equal reason to oppo-
site senses.
Paris, Jan. 6.-Chancellor Won
Hertling's speech is considered in Of
fetal circles as confirming the sup
position that General Won Ludendorf,
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and
the pan-Germans- are debating the
German governments policy.
The intention appears clearly on
the part of the Germans to seek to
treat separately with each of its an
tagOniStS.
