MOONEY IS DENIED
RETRIAL BY COURT
FATE NOW RESTS WITH
GOVERNOR STEPHENS.
Court Held There Was No Error in
the Trial Record: Believed That
Governor viii Stay Execution at
Request of President Wilson.

Thomas j. Moneys fate is now in
the hands of Governor Stephens of
California. The state supreme court
has denied the noted defendant new
trial on the ground of lack of reversi-
BILE error in proceedings which led to
his conviction and death sentence on n
murder charge in connection with n
preparedness parade bomb explosion
there in 1916.
Governor Stephens refused to com
ment on the courts action or TO indi-
cate what move he would make when
Moneys appeal for communication or
pardon comes before him.
Counsel for Thomas J. Mooney wiz
not petition the state supreme court
to reconsider its affirmation of the
death sentence against him for al
legged participation in n bomb eXplo-
sion in San Francisco, but will appeal
directly to the governor for pardon,
Attorney Maxwell McNutt. who di-

MONEYS original petition for re
hearing were considered by the court,
and the petition denied. A further
hearing would only involve the same
questions and as "A result we have de
cided to forego any petition for such
hearing. and will appeal directly to
the governor" McNutt said.
President Wilson recently wrote to
Governor Stephens in reference to the
Mooney case, and there is prevalent
belief that the condemned man will be
granted n pardon.

The Washington public service COM

Puget Sound Traction, Light and

Younger, who said: If the Seattle

Sharp practices at the St. Paul
StockyardS were revealed at a hearing
by the federal trade commission. 1t
was shown that the stockyards com

good profit. There used to be troughs
in the pens for feeding hogs. The
company had these taken out and
shippers must now feed their hogs
by scattering corn on the muddy floors
of the pens, thereby increasing the
corn wastage. When this wastage
got fairly started the company let a
contract for $4,000 to a man who gath

Dodge Brothers Give Government Fast Action on Big Contract for
 Special Mechanism

Detroit, January 26.-There is no doubt in the minds of Detroit residents about the governments determination to re- spond promptly and energetically to Pre- mier Lloyd Georges pleas for million men and mountain of arms" Although many industries have quietly taken over the manufacture of munitions since the war began, the new rush started only recently. Gigantic new structures are being put together with amazing speed to handle immense new contracts for the government. No shortage of materials handicaps these undertakings. Every thing comes under government priority order
 Probably the most prominent example both in magnitude and dispatch is the immense new plant which will house the Dodge Brothers munitions industry. The day after contract for millions of dol. lars worth of special recoil mechanism had been allotted to Dodge Brothers by the government, a force of hundreds of men, teams and machines was on the ground, excavating and assembling ma terials The work since then has been pushed with great rapidity, the force of workmen being enlarged as fast as labor

CONSIDERATION OF

Kissel Agent Says Man Who Is Uncomfortable Is h. c0nsiderate of the
 Machine

With the growing scarcity of expe- rienced truck drivers and mechanicians, motor truck owners have of late been giving considerable study to increasing their present truck drivers efficiency" says Paw Perkins, local Kissell dis tributor. This would so equip their drivers that they could in a measure do more and better work so as to make up for the absence of other drivers.
 Again, truck owners have noticed that unless their drivers are pleased with their jobs, they have no trouble in find ing other berths. Especially is this true in winter, when the main problem of the truck driver is to keep his truck in operation irrespective of weather condi- tions. If he has the proper protection to make him comfortable and keep him in good physical condition, 1t becomes a matter of pride that he is able to

Use Of Motor Trucks WiN
 Replace Horse and Increase
 Food Supply Of he Nation
New York Truck Salesman Predicts Unlimited Good Will Re suit From Greater Use of Trucks and Asserts That Their
 Value Mode of Transportation Has Been Proved

Tn the past the business man of America has been disposed to look upon the horse as a necessity in winter for delivery in the country, due to the weather and road conditions. That is are more reliable in every sort of weather than the horse. and with this change of opinion will come demand for trucks such as the country never knew before. By establishing regular truck trains over set routes to carry freight and to de- liver the trucks for shipment to Europe or at the cantonments, the government has taken a long step forward and ac- complished wonders in more ways than one.
 INCREASE FOOD SUPPLY
 "The faster we can replace the horse with motor driven vehicles the more rapidly we shall increase the supply of food for the human race. as it requires practically five acres of land each year to produce the food necessary for a horse and but three acres to produce sufficient for a human being. The cross country trips of trucks. being de- livered from the factories, and the long trips of trucks for the government, will act as demonstrations of reliability and economy to the business man and these demonstrations will be of character such as would never have been possible had not conditions in the railroad world arisen to make necessary just such steps, I am surely delighted with the outlook for the truck business"

of gallons. of gasoline annually. but this should not be carried to point where it becomes false economy" says L. J. Lively, Jr.. of the Elcar Motor Sales company. the local distributor of National 12 and six cylinder cars
 Tt is not real economy to neglect to have reasonable repairs and adjust ments made upon car simply to save repair shop bills. Some cars, of course, require much less attention than oth- CTS, but the motorist should bear in mind that when his valves need grinding it is economy to have them ground with out delay, for leaking valves mean so much gasoline going to waste When a carburetor is adjusted either to give too thin or too rich mixture money is wasted If the mixture is too rich too much gas is being burned; if too thin, causing irregular firing the gas being burned is not permitted to de- velop the greatest efficiency. It is estimated by experts that there is waste from leaking carburetors alone of more than 30,000 gallons day in this country Poorly adjusted carbure- tors waste 240,000 gallons

Trucks for business, whether 1t be in the city or in the country, are now a year-round vehicle, in the opinion of h. E. Wilmot, Dearborn truck salesman of New York, who was in Birmingham last week to confer with the Alabama Truck company. He stated that he has found a material change of sentiment
 arising in every section of America. This change in the opinion of Mr Will mot, lays largely to the continual driv- ing of motor trucks to their destination by road in all sorts of weather. Condi- tions forced upon the government and upon the purchasers by freight conditions have accomplished wonders for the mo- tor truck, and MT. Alvin comments the government for it's adoption of the plan of driving to the sea board all trucks for war purposes.
 ALL-YEAR USE NECESSARY
 There cannot be said enough in favor of this plan of delivering by road in winter as well as in summer" said MT. Wilmot "The very fact that trucks are making the trips from factories all over America to the seaboard in every sort of weather, and going right along at an excellent average and in better time than they could be delivered by freight, is evidence that the trucks of today are right. These demonstrations must have their effect upon the business men of America and result in immense good for the industry.

''If you have noticed pleasing ab- sence of appeals to patriotism in Rec automobile advertising, it is inten- tional,1 says General Manager Scott of the Rec Motor Car company.
 T sometimes wonder at the affrontery of business men who use so sacred a shing as our national patriotism to push the sale of their wares.
 Seems to me it is prostituting mans finest emotion to a very ordinary, if not a base purpose.
 We are just as alert to further the reputation of the Rec product as any other manufacturer can be, but We do not believe in stooping to such methods by telling the buyer that it is your pa triotic duty to buy. etc,
