Densmore Report Denounces San Francisco Bomb

the bomb outrage in San Francisco, three
years ago, were supported in report
of John B. Densmore. special agent for
the department of labor, submitted to
the house, today, in response to resolu-
ton demanding more information on the
case
Mr.. Densmore, now director of the
federal employment service, conducted
secret investigation Of the case at the
request Of Secretary Wilson. With the
aid Of several immigration inspectors, he
gathered his evidence, working without

ties.
Dictagraf Got Evidence.
Most Of it was obtained by use of a
mechanical recorder placed in the office
of District Attorney Fickert, prosecutor
of the case. From this evidence, Mr..
Densmore drew the conclusion that
Mooney did not receive full justice In
his trial and that he was the victim Of
corporate interests in San Francisco
who desired to discredit the labor un-
ions. and maintain the "open shop"
The prosecution was conducted with
out real investigation of the crime. Mr..
Densmore declared, and with deliberate
intent to ''fram' the labor leader.

WILSON COURSE
As D|CTATOR|A[
Raps President for Ex-
Guiding Republicans
at Peace Table.

Washington, July 23-President Will
son is denounced as pursuing partisan
policy in the making of peace and thus
endangering the ratification of the treaty
and the league of nations. in one of the
letter former President Taft wrote to
Republican Chairman Hays, advocating
interpretative annoSations to the treaty.
He is also taken to task on the accusa-
ton of trying to dictate the policies of
the entire world and monopoliZe the
credit personally. President Taft wrote !:
The situation which confronts US now
in reference to the ratification of the
treaty is one created by very serious
mistakes of policy committed by Mr..
Wilson. The partisan character of his
administration during the war. together
with his appeal to his countrymen to
elect a democratic congress in November.
1918. created q condition of personal and
political antagonism toward him among
republican leaders which was shared by
a majority of the American people. This
was shown in the results of the election.
Tried to Domineer World.
Notwithstanding this, Mr.. Wilson
persisted in continuing the same partisan
exclusion of republicans in dealing with
the highly important matter of setting
the results of the war. He selected a
commission in which the republicans had
no representation and in which there
were no prominent Americans OF any
real experience and leadership of public
opinion With such commission. his
unusual course in going abroad himself,
as president, greatly emphasized the
personal element in the framing of the
treaty and intensified the general ten
dency to oppose anything that he might
bring home because Of his apparent wish
to dictate the policy of the world and
to monopolize the credit for it.
League Defects Wilson's.
II feel that some of the defects of
the league of nations are due to him.

adoption of the plan of the league to

The prisoners, as far as the records
showed, were held because of absence

General Pershing sent three days ago

the A. l.. r.
Four Officers Convicted.
General Pershing's cablegram, sent in
response to an inquiry of the war de-
partment after its attention had been
called to alleged mistreatment of the
prisoners, disclosed the conviction
against four officers at prison No. : and
its adjoining stockade. Two of the Of
ficers it was said, were imprisoned af-
ter being found guilty by courtmartial.
Conviction of four other officers was
disclosed by reports of Brigadier Cen

Lieut.. r. II. Smith. the well known

Is months sentence at Governors ISL

G. Oxman, a principal witness had been
proven a perjurer, Mr.. Densmore SAID,
Fickert agreed to a new trial but later
vigorously opposed it, his attitude being
completely reversed.
"Since the Oxman exposure" Mr.
Densmore said, "the district attorneys
case has melted steadily away until there
is little left but an unsavory record Of
manipulation and perjury. Further rev
elations have impeached the credibility
of practically all the principal witnesses
for the prosecution.
Acquittals Cited as Weakness.
"And if any additional confirmation
was needed for the weakness of the case,
the acquittal of Mrs. Mooney on July
81, 1917 and of Isareal Weinberg in the
following October, would seem - sup
ply it. ;,
that there is nothing about the case to
produce feeling of confidence that the
dignity and majesty Of the law have been
upheld.
There is nowhere anything resemb-
work Of incongruous make shift and of
ten of desperate expedlency.'
Rips Case to Pieces.
Mr.. Densmore's objections to the trial
as enumerated in his report include the
following:
The apparent failure Of the district
attorneys office to conduct a real in
vestigation at the scene of the crime; the
easy adaptability of some Of the star
witnesses; the irregular method pursued
by the prosecution in identifying various
defendants; the sorry type Of men and

"Yes"
Mr.. Mitchell said there was strong
anti-American spirit in the Carranza ad-
ministration.
Discussing the mistreatment Of Ameri-
cans in Mexico the witness said the riff
raff' in the Mexican army was largely
responsible for depredations in Mexico,
particularly in the Tampico district.
Americans are not treated with the
same consideration as other foreigners,
the witness Said, AIDING tnaC Henry L.
Fletcher. the American ambassador, was
openly insulted on the streets of Mexico
City while en- route to attend the inaugu-
ration of President Carranza while the
German ambassador was cheered.
Mr.. Mitchell disagreed with the state
ment before the committee by Ambas-
sador Fletcher yesterday, that one rea
son why Americans were greater suffer
ers at the hands of Mexicans was that
they outnumbered the citizens Of other
foreign countries. He said there were
more Spanish and French than Ameri-
cans in Mexico. Germans, he said, gen
orally are well treated.

Washington, IuIy 23.-President

The statement follows:
"The president authorized the an
nouncement that the statement car
ried in several Of the papers, this
morning, that he originated or formu-
lated the provisions with regard to
Shantung in the treaty OF peace with
Germany is altogether false. He ex-
erted all the influence he was at

innate action of Japan with regard
to Shantung will put the whole mat.
