LONDON, Nov. 2S.-A dispatch to
the Daily Mail from Amerongen, Hol
land, says the stories regarding the
former German emperor's princely sur
roundings and big dinner parties and
similar functions are not altogether
true.
The most striking feature of the
daily life of William Hohenzollern, the
correspondent continues, is the mass
Of correspondence to which he devotes
most of his mornings and. apparently
unrestricted by the Dutch government,
he is kept accurately informed of every
development in Germany and else
where, and is reported to be able to
keep in pretty close touch with the
other side of the frontier.
The correspondent says he learns on
good authority that the Netherlands
government considers the former
crown prince the only dangerous in
triguer, the former emperor's day be-
ing regarded as ended.
1t is commonly reported at Ameron-
gen, the correspondent declares, that
William Hohenzollern will not be there
long, but it is uncertain whittier he
will go.

SEE WHAT ROOSEVELT DID

ROOSEVELT, Utah, Nov. 2S.-What
was said to have been the nearest ap-
proach to the genuine, old-time wild
west celebrations occurred here upon
the occasion of the signing of the arm
istice terms by Germany. This town,
named after the former president who
is said to have taken part in Wild-West
demonstrations during his cowboy
days, turned loose" when the news ar
rived and every revolver, shotgun and
rifle in the community was used to
make noise.
The town was literally "shot-up" by
several dozens of cowboys who came in
from neighboring ranches, the riders
riding through the main street at
break neck pace, shooting their revol-
vers as they rode. No casualties re-
suited, nor was any damage done to
property. The celebration stopped only
when the participants and ammunition
were exhausted.

Presidents Messages

case assumed national importance,
Governor Stephens broke his silence as
20 the contents of the two messages
sent him by President Wilson, urging
clemencv for the condemned man.
These two messages were quoted in
the governors statment tonight. The
first, which was received on March 81,
reads as follows:
THE White House,
Washington, D. c.
March 27, 1918
"Hon. William D. Stephens,
Sacramento, Cal.
With very great respect l take
the liberty of saying to you that
II you could see your way to COM
mute the sentence of Mooney, it
would have a most heartful effect
which his execution would greatly
complicate.
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON,"
On June 8, the governor received this
additional message, the president
again urging Communication of sentence:
1.-THE White House,
Washington, D. c.,
3:15 p. m, June 4, 1918
Hon. William d. Stephens,
Sacramento, Cal.
II beg that you viii believe that
am moved only by a sense of
public duty and of consciousness
Of the many and complicated in
terests involved, when [ again
must respectfully suggest a. COM
mutation of the death sentence
imposed upon Mooney. I would
not venture again to call your at
tention to this case, did I not know
tho international significance
which attaches to it.
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON"
Governor Stephens, in explaining hi.
reasons for granting Communication
said he was guided by various factors
entertainment of doubt sufficient t.
save men from the gallows, certain
features in connection with the case
and President Wilson's earnest re
guest for communication. On thes,
points the governors statement said:
II have carefully reviewed all tn,
available evidence bearing on the case
There are certain features connected
with it which convince me that the ex
treme penalty should not be executed
Therefore, and because of the earnes
request of President Wilson for com
mRtation, and conscious of the duty
owe as governor of this state to all o
its people, L have decided to commut
Moneys sentence to life imprison

is seither guilty or innocent, and tina
necessarily if the maximum punishment
