Refusal Of the United States Su
preme Court, November 18, to review
the sentence of hanging imposed upon
Thomas J. Mooney ended court action
interest The death sentence passed
upon him was for the murder of Mrs.
Myrtle Irene Van Loo, of Merced, Cal,
one Of the ten persons killed by clock
work bomb which exploded on Market
Street in San Francisco, during "Pre-
paredness Day" parade there July %,
1916. Four others were indicted with
him on ten counts of murder, but his
case was singled out as an issue by
labor organizations of several coun-
tries.
Four Of the Ave persons indicted were
tried for murder. Mooney was SEN
fenced to be hanged May II, 1917.
Warren K. Billings, shoe clerk, now
is serving his sentence of life imprison-
ment; Mrs. Rena Herman Mooney,
MONEYS wife, and Israel Weinberg,
an automobile bus driver, were ac-
quilted on one charge and now are at
liberty on bail on other charges of
murder, while Edward D. Nolan, a ma
chinist, still is awaiting trail.
Moneys alleged activity in a San
Francisco street car strike, character
trial Workers of the World affiliations
drew suspicion toward him and his wife.
They we're arrested five days after the
explosion, at Guerneville, Cal. They
said they had read in newspapers that
they we're wanted and they had tele-
graphed the police they would sur
render themselves. Four of the ten
counts of murder against Mrs. Mooney,
Billings, Weinberg and Nolan were dis
missed, the state admitting inability to
proceed on them.
MONEYS trial opened January 8,
1917, and ended with his conviction
February 10.
Frank c. Oxman, a cattleman, Of
Durkee, Ore, the states chief witness,
testified in the Mooney trial that he
saw the Moneys, Billings and Vein
berg drive to the spot where the ex-
plosion occurred, and saw Billings de-
post suitcase supposed to contain the
bomb. Subsequently Moneys attor-
neys charged that Oxman testified
falsely against Mooney and that he
sought to induce F. E. Rigall, of Gray
vile, H., to do likewise. Rigall came
w Cdu L TIduClSCC anu LSSClleQ at OX-
mans trial for attempted subornation
of perjury that Oxman induced him to
come here and offered to divide with
him a portion Of large reward offered
for MONEYS conviction. Oxman was
acquitted.
Mooney appealed to the California
Supreme Court for a new trial and he
was supported by Consent" filed by
the State Attorney General U. S. Webb.
Charles NJ. Fickert, district attorney,
of San Francisco, who prosecuted the
bomb murder cases, opposed the "con-
sent" as irregular and vicious" and it
was dismissed. Moneys appeal was
denied March 1, 1918. the Supreme
Court stipulating it could not consider
evidence outside the record.
Mooney appealed to Governor Steph-
ems for pardon, and meantime Moon
ey's attorneys applied to the trial court |
for writ Of "coram nobis," an action
seldom resorted to, whereby suitors un-
der the common law could seek reversal |
Of judgment obtained by fraud. At

Felix M. Warburg. chairman of the
JOINT Distribution Committee of ins

ferers, which is to start a $4,000 OOC
campaign in New York week after next
has received SO many queries as to the
need and purpose Of the effort that he
undertook yesterday to make the re.
plies public. The more important in.
terrogations and his replies follow:
Q.-Why should there be a drive for
Jewish war sufferers when the war is
ended?
A-The Jewish civilian population
throughout the war zones has been de-
prived of the opportunity to be self
supporting. The end of the war has
not altered their state, but has ac-
centuated their misery. In many coun-
tries the Jews will not receive even
the bread to be distributed by govern
ment authorities unless it is done by
and through their own people.
This Fund for Civilians
Odd not the United War Work
campaign take care of the needs?
A.-The United War Work campaign
was for our soldiers only. This cam
paign is entirely for the Jewish civil
ian populations in Europe and in
Palestine.
Q.-Has not the Joint Distribution
Committee ample funds in its treasury
now?
A.-The money in the treasury of
the Joint Distribution Committee is
being expended at the rate of about
$l,ooo,o0O a month, and with the end
ing of hostilities a much larger sim

They were Captain Benjamin B

Of the Royal Air Forces; Alan A.

of about $500 feet above the new fly

fog was dense and there was heavy
rain, and there would not have been
much to see, so we came back quickly

lntimates He Will Step Out
Soon as Programme Is
ON Peace Basis
Sets No Date for Move

Has Found Satisfactory
Man," He Says

Charles NJ. Schwab, director general
OF the Emergency Fleet Corporation
announced last night that he is plan
hing to step down from his public office
ana return to private life. No date has
been set by Mr.. Schwab for the move
and lie made it plain that he has no
intention of having a successor ap-
pointed as long as there seems to be
any need of his services.
Mr.. Schwab said plans ALREADY are
well under way to change the shin
oullulng programme from war emer-
gency basis to strictly economic one
ne lntimated that he probably would
resign formally when he felt that those
plans were entirely completed ard 81 ftar
he had had an opportunity to See them er
being worked out
Mr Schwab was placed at the head
OF the Emergency Fleet Corporation
IN Aprl! last. To accept the most ba
was obliged to set aside PRACTICABLE al
ms personal affairs. His statement
follows: ''"seiiiehU
i am working now to put the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation in such a DO
s1tlon as will enable ME soon to ask
ehe Fresloent to release me, and | will
make my formal request when the
change has been made from emergency
to economic work.

must now be used monthly. The funds
on hand, even at the present rate at
whlch they are being disbursed, will
Iast only couple of months.
Q.-Has not New York City already
done its share?
Anew York City has given vir-
tually nothing to Jewish war relief in
1918. Campaigns have been conducted
IN nearly every other community
throughout the United States this year,
and approximately ss,oOO0oO has been
which, in nearly every case, have far
exceeded their 1917 contributions.
What has come from New York in 1918
has been chiefly the payment of
pledges made in the 1917 campaign.
New York City, thus, with more than
half the Jewish wealth and population
OF the country, stands near zero for
1918. 1t will be impossible to continue
raising funds elsewhere in the United
States if New York does not do it's
full duty.
Quota for New York Low
Q:-Why is Sc 100000 the amount
fixed for New York?
Alive million dollars represents q
just quota for New York City in rela
ton to ITS Jewish wealth and popula-
ton. and in relation to what has been
done by the rest Of the United States.
But S5,000,000 does rot begin to repre-
sent the need nor is it more than the
NJ. rHegre sur, 'Aat viii suffice.
Q.-Hov much OF my money will go
'o' 20 NS',e -Au~ii Tor relief :?
A.-!he administrative expenses of
the joint Distribution Committee are
the lowest of any relief organization
IN the world. Every dollar contributed
IN this campaign will go into the treas
ury of the Joint Distribution Commit
tee, not one cent being deducted for
campaign expenses, which are being
met privately

Ihe mail plane, in charge o. Max Null

Captain Lipsner was made an honorary
member of the Aerial League of Amer

honor.
Two .strkingly dissimiar aeroplanes
we're on exhibition at the flying field.
One, small machine, was the first ever
used IN the air mail service. The
other, huge affair, was the plane
which is to be the pioneer in extending
the service to Chicago and the West.
II am satisfied that the air mail SER
vice is here to stay" said Captain Lips
ner. "What we are doing is surface
scratch in comparison to what will be
accomplished in the future. We will
have machines which will carry ton

some hours was resuscitated to-day
