Baron Goto announced to represent
atives that he would follow the policy
of the outgoing minister.
The succession of Baron Goto to the
foreign portfolio may prevent DISCO
luton of the cabinet. There is no
reason to suppose that the slightest
change in the general international
policies of the government will re-
suit. His succession, it is expected,
will insure the continuance of the
r,on-party administration.
He has been an able supporter OF
the friedliest cooperation with China
and an opponent of interference in
China's domestic affairs. He is not
an advocate of Intervention in Rus

BERLIN TO HAVE
NEW COAL SYSTEM

Amsterdam, April 7-Dissatisfac-
ton with the system of coal distri-
button which was employed in Berlin
during the past winter has led to
the adoption of an entirely new sys-
tenn which goes into effect during
May. The chief feature of the new
scheme is establishment of customer
lists" which means that retailer is
bound to supply those customers who
register with him with the amount
of coal to which their tickets legally
entitle them. The plan is intended
to operate over full year so that
consumers can utilize their allotted
fuel supply as they see fit.
There will be two coal tickets, one
for coal for cooking purposes and the
other for heating coal. The cooking
coal ticket is graded into three kinds
according to the number of persons
in the household. A family of one or
two persons will receive 1900
pounds; three to- six, 1900; seven to
ten 5000.
Coal for heating purposes is allot-
ted according to the number of rooms
in a house One room is allowed
500 pounds; two rooms 1000 pounds,
and so on up to 5000 pounds. Per-
sons who used ntore than six tons for
heating purposes last winter will be
allowed just half the amount they
consumed then.

COUNSEL. ASKS
new TRIAL FOR
THOMAS MOONEY

San Francisco, April 27-RemovaI
of the death sentence on Thomas J.
Mooney "a complete setting aside of
all proceedings against him and a new
trial will be moved in court next
Thursday on the ground of malfeas-
ance in office on the part of the dis
trict attorney and his assistants, it
was announced here today by Max
we'll McNutt, attorney for the con-
demned man.
Mooney was convicted of murder
in connection with the Preparedness
day bomb explosion here on July 22
1916. McNutt said his notice to
quash the entire proceedings against
Mooney would be filed in the Superior
Court later today when Mooney ap-
peared to be re-sentenced to death
by Judge Franklin A. Griffin. It
was expected that McNutts action
would postpone the re-sentencing of
Mooney and open a new legal fight.
Accompanying the notice which is
intended to support the charges of
fraud and 1nalfeasance by the prose-
cution, McNutt said, will be affidavits
by Mooney, William H. Smith, acting
inspector of the police department
of Oakland; and Frank E. Rigall OF
GRANVILLE, Ill, who alleged that at
tempts had been made to induce him
to testify falsely against Mooney.
Frank c. Oxman of oregon, material
witness against Mooney, was acquitted
of attempted subornation of perjury
in connection with Rigalrs charges.
An affidavit from Inspector Smith,
according to McNutt, will corroborate
an affidavit by Mooney that Mrs. Mel

saw Mooney and Warren K. Billings,

The German demand, as outlined,

health; that those who are sick shall
remain in Russia under the care of
neutral physicians and that the Ger
mans on their Side will release only
those Russian prisoners that are sick

A statement expressing the opinion
that "any counter revolutionary more
ment in Russia must inevitably rely
on the German military power to
maintain itself" was issued here to-
day by the Finish information bureau,
which claims to represent the Fin
land Reds associated with the Rus
sian soviet government.
THE great mass of the Russian
people stands solidly behind the Rus
sian soviets," the statement adds, all
the forces of reaction in Russia are
scheming and praying for German
