CASE
REVIEWED BY
CALIFORNIAN
Senator Phelan Declares
Crime Result Of Ger
man Propaganda.

The direct charge that Thomas
Mooney and his associates were hir-
ed with German money to break up
the preparedness parade in San
Francisco by the use of dynamite
was made in the Senate yesterday
by Senator Phelan. of California.
"They were victims of their own
cupidity." he said. "They had been
bribed by German money as a part
Of the German propaganda to per-
petrate this crime and prevent us
from preparing for war"
Paid by German Consul.
Senator Phelan named Franz Bopp.
former German; consul in San Fran
cisco, as the chief agent of the Ger
man propa gandists on the Pacific
coast. He showed by the evidence
in the Hindu conspiracy cases now
on trial in San Francisco that Bopp
had been the read and center OF
the German activities in that sec
ton Of the country.
That was in March, 1916. And yet
the President, i'm view of the condem-
nation Of the courts. which had beei.
made very generally by ignorant and

given in order that not only Mooney
might have an opportunity to excul-
pate himself IL possible, but that the
reputation of the United States
throughout the world might be vindi-
Gated as treating with utmost fair
ness men accused of crime.
Is DANGEROUS Citizen.
THE fate of Mooney is one OF in
difference. because he is known to be
a dynamiter. but the United States is
very jealous of its laws. and no mat
ter how despicable a man may be he
cannot be condemned for a specific
crime unless he is guilty. Even in
labor circles. / am informed, there is
no sympathy for Mooney, the man
whom they regard in common with
others as a very dangerous citizen on
account OF his previous record. which
is well understood; but labor has be-
come unduly exercised about the case
because of the local conditions.
in San Francisco it is alleged by the
labor union organizations. which are
very strong, that the merchants had
organized for the purpose of destroy
ing their unions and making the town
one OF the open shop The resulting
bitterness and antagonism was very
great. so that when Mooney, who was
for sixteen years a member OF the
Molders' Union. was accused of this
crime. the labor unionists took the
ground that he was to be made a
victim because OF his labor unionism
aud was to be punished TO satisfy the
vindictive spite of another class of cit
izens. Nothing was further from the
truth"

praise.
