called on to act previously, the gov
Motives of Anarchisn.

Inc case, as presented to the Cali
1orn1a courts, was that Of murder,
without further evidence of motive
than the impossible tenets of anar-
chlsts, whose sympathies for the Ger
man cause in the war are well known.
Ihelr wild pacifst theories fitted into
the widespread activities of the
ha1ser's agents in this country.
A number of persons Of pro-
nounced anarchistic tendencies were
arrested shortly after the explosion,
and of these Warren K. Billings was
convicted and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment and Thomas J. Mooney
FOUND guilty and sentenced to be
hanged. So long as avenues of ap-
peal to the courts remained open to
Mooney, and he was availing himself
Thereon, L deemed it improper for
executive authority to interfere"
The statement reviews the case
fully and quotes the two messages
from President Wilson, in which the
action now taken by the governor was
suggested. The communication, saws
the governor, reduces the case to the
status of that of Warren K. Billings.
Washington, Nov. 29.-The COM
mutation Of the sentence of Thomas
j. Mooney to life imprisonment was
a disappointment to labor leaders
here, who had hoped for a new trial.
upon which they expected the con-
Victed labor man would be ACQUITTED.
Commenting upon the action of
Governor Stephens last night Louis
F. Post, assistant secretary of labor.
said
1T seems to me that the govern
ments action does not really help the
matter Whether Mooney was guilty
or not guilty, manifestly he did not
have fair trial He was tried and
convicted upon evidence that" was
confessedly perjured. There were
other indictments involved in the
same episode. upon which Mooney
was brought to trial. He could have
been tried on one Of the other indict-
was tried upon the one particular in
dictment and convicted upon the
same set of facts, without perjured
testimony, and was acquitted. Com
mutation Of MONEYS sentence to life
imprisonment is Only a compromise
and there is no justification for that.
Either Mooney should pay the full
penalty or he should be set free
Frank Morrison, secretary Of the
American Federation Of Labor, said

be taken for a new trial"

HORRIBLY WOUNDED
Private Jacob Berasconi May Lose
One Leg and the Other Is Para
Iyzed-Spine Hurt, Too.

Private Jacob Berasconi, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Berasconi Of S3 Cleve-
land street, who was reported as seri-
ously wounded a few weeks ago, is
now in this country and is in a
United States hospital near New
York. His mother has been to see
him. When she arrived she was
made well aware of the fact that he
was severely wounded. His condition
at that time was serious and the doc
tors in charge stated that one and
probably two operations would be
necessary. He was struck by bullet
or piece of shrapnel which tore open
his whole hip and thigh. The flesh
was torn away to the calf of his leg.
Amputation of the leg may be nee
essary. His spne is also affected and
his other leg is useless.
Despite these horrible wounds one
is made to feel cheerful by the very
attitude which the soldier himself
bears From the way Private Beras-
conf takes his wounds it is easily un-
derstood how the great morale of the
American army has been upheld.
Speaking to his mother, the young
soldier said: Cheer up, mother.
It's not so bad. This (meaning the
war) had to be done. If we didn't go
over there and lick the Huns they
would have come over here. saw

dren in France. I'm glad l was able

UNITED STATES REVENUES

The internal revenue collections for the fiscal year ending June 30 last totaled $3,672 100000. The collections for the preceding year were $8OO,OOO,- 900. This years collections exceed by nearly s2OO,OOO,OO0 the estimates made when the war revenue measures were passed by Congress last year.
 Four thousand persons were em- ployed in the work and the total cost of the collection was only $12,000, 900. The patriotism reused by the war con tributed largely to the success of the work, and the taxpayers assisted and cooperated with the Government.
 A determined effort will be made to bring to book tax payers in every part Of the country. The Treasury already has evidence against large number who have sought to evade taxes, and by checking up contracts and with other data the Government expects finally to discover and punish many tax evaders, as well as recover large amounts of revenue illegally with held.

PREMIER LLOYD GEORGE HITSTHE BOCHES
 HARD

LONDON, July 23.-In the debate on the treatment of alien enemies, Premier Lloyd George in his address to the House of Commons this morn ing, said in part: "In time of war we must give the benefit of the doubt to our own country. The risks are far too great for enemy aliens not to be searched out ruthlessly, even to the point of infiicting hardships.
 "The only limit to be placed upon it is that we should not enter into competition with the Germans. That would be degrading our flag. But at the same time do not let us commit the folly of over-trustfulness to the extent of endangering the country We love so we'll"

kERENSKY FAILED
 TO IMPRESS PARIS

The Matin of July 10. says: "The visit of NJ. Kerensky to Paris SO far has not proved very striking sue cess. IL is generally felt here that the Russian ex-dictator can now only be looked on as back number, and French opinion is inclined to the view that not much can be expected from a man who failed so utterly to take ad- vantage of the splendid opportunity offered him a few months ago, when he had all Russia at his call.
 The result is that, as Le Temps re- marks, although Kerensky is here, neither Paris nor the nation is show. ing itself to be very much excited at his presence.
 Kenersky made the mistake, as Le Journal points out, of regarding every thing in this country that is not rev olu:icnary or Socialistic as non-exis. tent. "Since he came to Paris he has consistently referred to the middle class with a scorn which can scarcely be described. He has made a prac. t:ce Of declining to meet ordinary Re publicans, and even Socialist Radi- calls. He declines to confer with any. body except pure-blooded Internat icna,ists. Yet he is supposed to have come here to plead for the help oi France and her allies in reconstitutine Russia as a nation
