Washington, May "A man too poor to buy Liberty bond today of fered the treasury his most prized possession, a gold dollar given to him by Abraham Lincoln in 1860 in Mat toon, H., to be auctioned off and the receipts turned in for bonds. Writing to Secretary McAdoo, he said:
 Uncle Abe jokingly put his hand on my shoulder and said:

 'He burst into a big laugh and said: George, I am going to give you a present for your honesty
 ''He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a gold dollar and gave it to me. I have been offered $2.500 for that dollar, and I prize it very highly, but I will send it to you and will let it go at any price to set a Liberty bond to help the boys in France"

LOCAL UNION
 LABOR PASSES MOONEY RESOLVE

At its last regular meeting Bridge port Central Labor union, complying with request, appointed a committee to draft suitable resolutions in the interest of Thomas J. Mooney, under sentence of death for murder, as the outcome. of a bomb explosion during a preparedness parade in the west. The committee appointed performed it's work and the following resolutions resulted:
 Whereas Thomas J. Mooney is at the present time under sentence Of death in San Francisco, being con victed upon evidence which has since been proven to be largely perjured, as proven by the confessions of sev eral of the star witnesses against him in the trial; and,
 Whereas, The Supreme Court of California has declared that it canz not go outside the evidence submit ted at the trial in setting aside the verdict in spite of the fact that all most incontrovertible evidence has been discovered since that time that there was a grave miscarriage of JOo|ASO cA0 lu0 COAfASIAO41 Wao SOSuI SO upon manufactured and perjured evil dence; and,
 Whereas, If this unspeakable trav- esty of justice be allowed to be con sumated and Mooney hanged, it will be blot, not only on the state cf California, but upon the fair name of our country, as well, and will shake the confidence of the people that jus tice is rendered with fair and inn partial hand in the courts of the country; therefore, be it Resolved, By the Central Labor Onion of Bridgeport, that we appeal in the name of the organized labor movement of this city to the President of the United States, Woodrow Will son, and to Gov. Stephens of Califor- mia, to use their utmost endeavors to have this unhoIy and unjust verdict set aside and justice meeted out in harmony with the spirit and traditions l of this Great Republic; and be it further,
 Resolved, That a copy of these res o1utions be sent to the President of the United States, to the governor of California and to the press of the 1 city.

HOME RULE BILL ACTION PUT OFF
 ANOTHER WEEK

London, May 2 - Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequar and government spokesman, declared in the House of Commons on Wednesday that he could not say when an Irish Home rule bill would be introduced.
 This, according to some lobby cor respondents of the morning news papers, covers the fact that the in troduction of the bill has been de- ferred and hope of it's presentation next week has been abandoned.
 The Daily News says the govern ment has met with serious difficulties in its Irish policies and cannot find a successor for Baron Willborn, who had had been appointed to draft a bill.
 It is in no way impossible, says the Daily News, that both conscription and home rule will be abandoned tenn porarily in the near future.
 It is reported in political circles that clements of the Unionist party have stiffened lately against any form of home rule, and a letter just written by Sir Edward Carson to the secre- tary of the southern Unionist commit tee in Ireland suggested that the ru- mors are well founded. Sir Edward says, in part:
 "In the present condition of Ireland it seems to me little short of insanity for any government to reopen the question of home rule this, in deed, is statesmanship manufactured out of panic and founded on broken l pledges in breach of trust. If we have to go down, let us do so with l the flag flying and not in alliance with those whose object is to gain a van i tage ground for enforcing further separatiDn pOlicies"

each of the two preceding war loans she has exceeded
her quota. In the Red Cross campaign and the Y. NJ.
