STEPHENS WILL PROBE

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov. 27-As- surance that the case of Thomas J. Mooney. sentenced to hang. would be given careful consideration" was giv- en today by Gov Wm D. Stephens to members of a committee of the San Francisco labor council who called to ask the executive to open the way for re-trial of the case.
 This statement was made by D. C.. Murphy. president of the California State Federation of Labor, who head ed the committee. He said Governor Stephens did not indicate when he would act on Mondays petition for a pardon or what course he would take
 Mooney was sentenced to hang for murder of one of the victims of the day parade bomb explo- sion in San Francisco, July g. 1916.
 Murphy said, as spokesman for the he had emphasized his be- lief that developments since the con viction of Mooney had created a doubt in the public mind and urged that in the interest of justice the de- fendant should be given a new trial"

REUSE HEARS OF

DENVER, Colo. Nov. 27.-First knowledge that the war had ended very possibly first knowledge that there has been a war-came to Will liam HarNick. known in Pagosa Springs district as the mystery man of the mountains" on last Saturday when, after a two day search for the home of the recluse, Deputy United States Marshal William J. McClelland of this city succeeded in locating liar dick and serving upon him a summons to appear in case brought against him by the forest service for grazing horses within the forest without a permit
 Until McClelland. guided by a ranch CT known as Denver" Latham, locat- ed Hardick last Saturday, the recluse had not cOnversed with a human in five years. He was found making his home in a cave, and his reception of his visitors was anything but cordial. He refused flatly to promise the dep uty marshal that he would reply to the summons. and the action being only a civil one it is doubtful if the forest service will seek other means of haling him into court
 Some two years ago government agents. knowing that Hardick claimed ownership of a large herd of wild horses which roam the forest in the PagOsa Springs district. wrote him offering to buy the animals for war work. The letter was returned unde- livered. but forest rangers were in- stTucted to pass the offer on by word of mouth in the hope that eventually it might reach Hardick McClelland found no evidence in the few words he had with Hardick that the man ever received the offer for his horses or ever learned by any other means of the great world conflict. Hardick evidenced no interest whatever in the news of world happenings which the deputy marshal told him, and ended the interview as quickly as possible
 Hardick, according to Pagosa Springs people, is about 75 years old and has lived in his mountain fast nesses for better than 40 years. The deputy marshal says his clothing, which was old and ragged. was patch ed in places with cardboard, evidently obtained from refuse left by hunting parties. The man carried a rifle of a comparatively modern model. but refused to tell how or where he Ob- tained ammunition for it.

 SANTIAGO, Chile, Nov. 27. - The complaint Of the Peruvian minister
 f foreign affairs that the demonstra- ions against Peruvians at Iquique were countenanced by the authorities is denied by the Chilean minister of foreign affairs. This denial has re- assured commercial and social circles.
 The newspapers are of the unani- nous belief that everything can be arranged by the fulfillment of the -eaty Of Ancon, signed in 1883. in 'fficial circles the opinion prevails hat arbitration would be the best means to bring about the fulfillment of this treaty.
 Under the treaty of Ancon. Chile was to retain possession of the prov inces of Tacna and Africa. belonging Q the Peruvian department of Mo quegua, for period of ten years and then submit to popular vote whether those territories are to belong to Chile or Peru"

It was de cided at the same time, to give pass age to correspondents of individual newspapers on the army transport Orizaba which will sail from Hoboken Sunday at noon.
 She will be part of the convoy of the presidents ship, which will in- clude the superdreadnaught Pennsyl- vania and a number of other naval ships.
 Besides the presidents official party the George Washington will carry a naval crew of more than 1000 officers and men.
 The George Washington. being a faster ship. will arrive in France at about the same time as the Orizaba. It seems to be settled. although no official announcement has been made, that the president will go first d. rectly to France and later to Eng land and possibly to Italy If he in- tends to visit any of the other Euro pean countries, his plans, have not become known.
 Mir. Creers statement, regarding the presidents trip, follows:
 sIt has been arranged Shat the representatives of the press associa- tions will travel with the president and the official party.
 With the approval of the president, the secretary of war has set aside the transport Orizaba, to carry duly ac- credited newspaper correspondents to France, December l. All passengers will report to General McMann at port of embrakation, pier 3.
