DENSMORE CHARGE

$4,000 Bride in Fair
Will Contest.
NO PART IN MOONEY CASE
Fremont Older, Sponsor for
Allegations, Reiterates 1t
Over His Signature.

SAN Francisco. Nov. 23.--Frederick
W. Henshaw. formerly Justice of the
California Supreme Court. issued a
signed statement to-day denying charges
that he received a bride of 100000
in the famous will case of the James
Ct. Fair estate and denying any con-
nection with an alleged frame UP" In
the Mooney and other prosecutions re-
sulting from the San Francisco pre-
paredness day bomb explosion, as set
forth in a report to William b. Wilson.
Secretary OF Labor, published here over
the signature OF John 3. Densrnore,
Director Of Employment of the Labor
De pa rtment.
Judge Henshaw's statement before
witnesses follows in part
The Fair case was decided some
twenty years ago. Years after its de-
cisIon was reelected to the Supreme
bench and served eleven of the twelve
year term, resignlng under no compul-
sion or agreement with Mr.. Older or
anybody else. Ny resignation was dc
tated upon purely personal grounds.
THE charges against me tn the report
of Densmore. as special investigator OF
the Department OF Labor. are twofold:
First. that l Joined with Flckert in
Mooney frame up
this Infamous thing, because l had cor
ruptly taken a bride of $4,000 in the
! case mentioned.
Not Interested in Mooney Case.
81 was not, and am not. interested II
the Mooney case, save as any citizen ID
| interested in seeing exact justice in tht
punishment of a most wanton, viclout
| and unprovoked crime. Mr.. Flicker
from time to time consulted me, always
at his own instance. never at my own, &c
tell me his difficulties IN following uT
information which would lead to cpm
plete disclosures OF MONEYS guilt.
IL never saw any actual or prospective
witness In any OF the bomb cases
II was never in the employ OF any
Of the big corporations charged with
bounding Mooney to death, and I chal-
lenge the pointing out of one word In
all the Densmore report which even
| remotely tends TO connect me with any
| improper practice, much less with be-
| ing q participant in a frame up.
THE charges Of bribery against me
are thus summed UP in the DensTore
| report:
| The Supreme Courts final decision
las Il result of the rehearing brought
| about through the instrumentality Of
Judge Henshaw was IN favor OF th'
heirs, Henshaw having changed his vot'
to favor the petitioners. Payment o.
| $500, 900 was then made by series o
checks OF $50. 900 each. drawn by s. q
Murphy, president OF the First Nationa
Bank. in favor OF Dingee. those pay
ments covering a period OF some weeks
Dlngee AYERS that in part these sums
! were given by him direct to Judge Hen
shaw: that other instruments were con
veyed to Henshaw by Mofiitt.

Weeks War News

It was reported this week that
Won Hindenburg, head of the
German army had been killed,
but nothing definite can be
learned as 10 the truthfulness Of
the statement.
The drive that was expected
to be started by the Germans
mas not started and tie French
and British are taking advantage
OF the delay by making better
preparations to withstand if it
does come.
No attacks have been made by
the Germans during the past
week, but the French have, ON
two occasions, driven back the
Germans ana gained some
ground.
The report that our soldiers
would be held back until the
Germans had shown signs of
defeat and then rushed in to
drive them back, has been de-
MED. The War department says
our boys will be sent to the
front as fast as trained.
England says she is ready to
talk peace on honorable terms,
and desires to bring the war to
an end. We don't quite under
stand why England comes oDt
with this statement on such
short notice.
A dispatch from London says
that arrangements are being
made by the American forces
in Europe to take care Of five
million soldiers. This is far be-
yond the number of soldiers
we ever expected to send across
the Atlantic.

SENATOR vARDAMAN'S LETTER
TO the SECRETARY OF THE WAR
Earnest Appeal to Proper and High
Authority to Separate Races in Army

to the humiliating treatment by
his superior officers, approved
Ey the government, which some
Of the white soldiers have been
subjected to at Camp Pike, If the
statement made by Captain
Rowan is true. And l believe it is
true, because I know CAPTAIN
Rowan to be man of honor and
of high character. He voluntert d
to serve his country, and is will
ing to serve his country, and is
willing to give his life, if need be,
in defense Of the Stars and
Stripes, aud such treatment as
he has received will operate, [
fear, to chill the patriotic for
ever which animates his very
soul.
| beseech you. Mr.. Secretary,
to give this matter prompt at
tention. And if you find the
statement true or the condition
described by Captain Rowan to
exist, that something be done to
correct the mistake, or someone
put in command of that division
of the army who is familiar
with the disposition, traits Of
character, the habits of thought
Of the white soldiers of the
Southern States.
To one who does not live in the
SoatheHN States aGG is unfamiliar
with the difficulties Involved in
the race problem there, the
magnitude Of that problem is
wholly misunderstood and un-
derestimated. Speaking as one
who is greatly concerned in the
proper settlement of the great
international problem before US,
and desiring with all my heart,
that glorious victory may come
to our arms, l again implore you
to look this matter squareIy in
the face, take counsel Of men
who understand the peculiar sit
uation in the South and do the
thing needful in all circum-
stances.
With great respect, I have the
honor to be,
Cordially and sincerely,

Senator Vardaman' letter to
Secretary BAKER follows;
Washington, D. G.
March 31st, 1918.
To the Honorable, The Sec
ertary of War, Washington,
d. G..
My Dear Mr.. Secretary:
| have received the enclosed
telegram, which [ send you, and
suggest that you give the sub
iect matter set out in this tele-
e am YOUR EARNEST, I'M i.
MEDIATE ATTENTION.
A cursory consideration of
this question would doubtless
create the impression upon your
mind that all this trouble arises
and grows out of foolish, mex
cusable race prejudice. B ut if
you will go deeper into the
subject, think you will discover
that it touches upon certain
fundamental principles that it
will not be wise to overlook,
even at this time: Race prejudice
such as is manifested in the
instant case, is that hereditary
sense Of prudence which serves
to preserve the purity and integ
rity of the white race in Amer
lea. Without it, America would
have had a mongrel population,
instead of the virile, vigorous
white race which we have today.
realize that America is en-
gagged in desperate conflict
stupendous problems are before
us for solution. and after this
war is over, there will still be
JprOblemS quite as difficult or
solution as those which confront
us today. l realize also, the fact,
that proper discipline in the
army is very necessary for it's
efficiency, but | also recognize
the fact that the pride, and spirit
and pluck of the white soldier is
yitally essential if we should win
this war. Kill the pride of the
white soldier and you deal a
death blow to our arms.
You cannot expect Southern
white man, reared in Mississippi
or any other Southern State, to
take interest in his country's
cause which his patriotic heart
prompts, if he shall be subjected

Old illustrated Book.

One of the oldest illustrated books
is an edition of "Aesop'S Fables" pub
lished about 1871. II has initial letters
of great interest, and upward Of 100
very curious wood cuts. The copies
which have survived the centuries are
bound in thick oak boards. covered
with stamped leather. There was a
book published in Florence only five
years after the Aesop which had three
ropper-plate engravings. and one OF
the most remarkable features of the
early illustrated works Is the grace and
excellent fancy of their tail-pieces and
tyne, and the fresh look which the Ink
has.
