The evidence offered by the govern ment ss was strong. and the defense was unable to refute it. Among the Germans convicted was a former consul general stationed in this city. Two other German consular officials pleaded guilty at the opening of the trial last November, stating that the less said about the affair. the better it would be for Germany.

 SACRAMENTO. Cal. April 24-- Governor Stephens announced today that he would pay absolutely no at tention to the apparently organized sending of telegrams to him or threats of strikes designed to influ. ence him in connection with the Mooney case. Hundreds of telegrams are being received daily by the gov ernor. some of them pleading for the exercise of executive clemency and many others threatening in their tone.
 Thomas Mooney is sentenced to hang for implication in the prepared. ness day bomb murders in San Fran cisco more than a year ago. Much of the evidence upon which he was convicted was given by man named Oxman, whose testimony has since been discredited, and although OK man was himself acquitted on a charge of perjury, he has not been used as witness in any of the other cases against other defendants alleged to have been in the plot with Mooney.
 Acting upon the recommendations of a special commission which inves- tigated the case, President Wilson recently wired Governor Stephens asking that he exercise clemency and give Mooney another chance to defend himself. Up to the present the governor has not made any state ment regarding his titude. Only a few days more are to pass before the time set for the execution, and labor organizations throughout the United States are endeavoring to se- cure a pardon for the condemned man. Governor Stephens has not definitely announced what action he will take. but did state today that the strike threats and other efforts to coerce him would be totally ig- nored.

(Assocfated Press)

lASSOCl6t6O fre68D
 LONDON, April 24.-British sail ors and marines who yesterday took part in the raid made by the British light naval forces on the German submarine bases at Ostend and Zee brugge believe that they completely blocked the mouth of the Bruges ship canal and possibly the chan nels between Ostend and Zeebrugge. The latter was used as passage for submarines entering the North sea.
 It is claimed that every German gun on the mole at Zeebrugge was destroyed, all sheds on the mole were demolished by the British fire, and large stores of munitions and other supplies were blown up. A British cruiser steamed through heavy German fire to the mole, where the landing party was run ashore.
 The cruiser was badly damaged by the fire. but was able to make its base under its own steam. The Germans thought the raiding party was composed of Americans, accord ing to the statements of prisoners captured.
 CHANNEL BLOCKED
 LONDON. April -Oficial-The admiralty announced tonight that an aerial observation shows the passage to be clear by twenty yards in the Zeebrugge mole at the inner end and a sunken ship filled with concrete blockes the greater part of the chan nel in the harbor at Ostend.
 DOCKS BLOWN UP
 DOVER, April 24.-The crew of one British submarine which was used to destroy the piers at Zee brugge yesterday was rescued by a destroyer which went to the rescue of the sailors under a heavy Ger man fire. The rescued sailors say that the submarine was filled with high explosives, time fuse lighted, and the craft aimed straight toward the docks. The crew was taken off by a destroyer after this had been done. The submarine struck its ob- jective center blow and the re- sulting explosion blew the piers into millions of pieces.
