FIRST DEGREE MOONEY MURDER
 VERDICT HOLDS
Associated prn.s,

Associated pr.ssS
 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Mar. 1.- The decision of the state supreme court announced today affirms the conviction of Thongs Mooney for the preparedness day murders in this city in August, 1916, and the granted a retrial. There is nothing in the evidence presented to it which would justify it in ordering the verdict set aside and the defendant granted a retrial. Three is nothing unexpected in the verdict, and the ruling has been forecast for several weeks.
 The attorneys for the defense are not discouraged and will file a mo- tion for rehearing in the supreme court within twenty days. Maxwell McNutt is confident that he will be able to secure another hearing for his client and set him free.
 This case has attracted nation wide interest, which was greatly in tensified by the recent recommen- dation of an investigating commit. tee representing President Wilson that the President use his influence with Governor Stevens, of this state, to have him ask a new trial for Mooney.
 Any relief must come to Mooney from the governor if the supreme court refuses the request for a re- hearing. In this connection, the fed eral committee made the following recommendation to President Wilson: Your commission, therefore, recom- mends in case the supreme court of California should find 1t neces- sary (conined as it is by jurisdic- tional limitations) to sustain the con- viction of Mooney on the record of the trial. that the President use his good offices to invoke action by the governor of California and the CO., operation of its prosecuting officers to the end that a new trial may be had for Mooney whereby guilt or in nocence may be put to the test of questionable justice. This result can easily be accomplished by postpon- ing the execution of the sentence of Mooney to await the outcome of a new trial, based upon prosecution under one of the untried indictments against him."

FIND DYNAMITE
 IN TRASH CANS
 AT INCINERATOR
Associated Pressl

SAN DIEGO, Cal. Mar. 1.-Two sticks of dynamite were found in a trash barrel at the Maryland hotel here this afternoon. The barrel was being sent to the incinerator located in the basement of a structure that houses many army and navy officers.
 Had the barrel gone into the in cinerator without being examined, it is probable that the building would have been seriously damaged and possibly many of the inmates killed or wounded. Orders have been is- sued to examine all garbage cans coming to the incinerator to guard against similar plots.
 It is believed that the I. w. w. agitators who have been attempting to create reign of terror in this state are responsible for the pres ence of the dynamite. The army intelligence service is conducting an investigation to locate the guilty parties.

NEW AUTHORITY TO COMMANDER
 LUMBER NOW UP
Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, D. c. Mar. l. Owing to the difficulty which has been experienced heretofore in se- .eH-ikg lumber for army navy and shipbuilding needs, it is now pro- posed to give IT lesident Wilson con- plete authority to commander all classes of lumber and fix the rate of remuneration at such a figure as will give the producers a legitimate profit.
 The senate military committee to- day favorably reported bill em- towering the President to comman- deer all timber needed by the army and navy and the shipping board. Chamberlain introduced this bill be- fore his recent illness.
 The shipping board reported re- gently that it had been held back by the attitude of certain lumber interests in holding their stock for unreasonable prices. The army avia- tion service has also been retarded by inability to get spruce timber. The proposed measure, which will undoubtedly be passed by the senate without much debate, will prevent a recurrence of this situation.

 BERLIN. Mar. 1.-Official-Th war office issued bulletin tonight stat ing that the Austro- Hungarian forces have crossed the Ukraine border and are advancing against the Red Guards. which hold several towns in the territory of the new south Rus sian republic. The same bulletin states that the German forces con tinue to advance and have reached the Dneiper river.
 The Dneiper forms the eastern boundary of the province of Kiev, and the city of Kiev is located on it's western bank. This city, which is the capital of the Ukraine, is held by the Bolsheviki forces. This point is about 250 miles east of Lutsk, where the southern wing of the German armies advanced from at the opening of the new offensive.
 NEGOTIATIONS BREAK
 LONDON, Mar. 1.-An official dis patch received tonight from Petr6- grad states that message has been received by the Bolsheviki govern ment from Brest Litovsk ordering a train under a heavy military guard to be sent to meet the Russian dele gates at Toroshaeto. The Petrograd government belives that this signi- ies that the peace negotiations that were resumed after the renewed Grman offensive have been definite ly broken off and that the delegates are hurrying home.
 AS these delegates were under in- structions from the Bolsheviki lead CTS to sign the former German terms, it is the general opinion that the Germans have made new demands which were more grasping than the former ones and which the Rus sians would not accept.
 Dispatches received from Petro- grad this morning indicate that the Germans have overcome the tempo- rary resistance of the Russians and have resumed their advance to the northeast and east.
