Labor Leader Did Not Receive
a Fair Trial, According to
Report Issued by Special
Government Agent.
CHARGES DELIBERATE
ATTEMPT AT "FRAMEUP"
Lays Greatest Blame on
County Attorney, Who Is
Said to Have Used Evidence
o. Perjured Witnesses.

Washington, July discharges OF
labor leaders that Thomas J. Mooney
was unujustly convicted for partici-
patton in the bomb throwing out
rage in San Francisco three years
ago, were supported in report of
| John B. Densmore, special agent of
the Department of Labor, submitted
to the house in response to a reso-
luton demanding more information
on the case.
Mr.. Densmore, now director OF
the federal employment service, con-
Quoted a secret investigation Of the
case at the request of Secretary Vii
son. With the aid of several immi-
grafton inspectors, he gathered his
evidence, working without the
knowledge of San Francisco author
tiles. Most of it was obtained by
use of dictaphone placed in the
Office of District Attorney Fickert,
prosecutor of the case.
From this evidence, Mr.. Dens-
more drew the conclusion that
Mooney did not receive full justice
in his trial and that he was the vic
tim of corporate interests in San
/ Francisco, who desired to discredit
the labor unions and maintain the
open shop"
| The prosecution was conducted
without a real investigation of the
crime, Mr.. Densmore declared, and
with deliberate intent to franc"
the labor leader.
Law Not Upheld.
"The plain TRUTH" Mr.. Densmore
said, is that there is nothing about
the case to produce a feeling OF
confidence that the dignity and
majesty of the law have been up
held. There is nowhere anything
resembling consistency, the effect
being a patchwork of incongruous
makeshift and often of expediency
! Methods employed by District
Attorney Fickert in prosecuting
Mooney were attacked by Mr.
IDcnsmore, who declared there were
excellent grounds for believing
that tie prosecutor was influenced
by local corporate interests most
bitterly opposed to union labor
After Frank c. Oxman, principal
witness, had been proven a per
jurer, Mr.. Densmore said, Fickert
agreed to new trial and later
vigorously opposed it, his attitude
being completely reversed.
Unsavory Record.
"Since the Oxman exposure" Mr.
Densmore said, "the district attor-
ney's case has melted steadily away
until there is little left but an TN
savory record of manipulation and
perjury, further revelations having
| impeached the credibility of practi.
cally all the principal witnesses fol-
the prosecution.
| And if any additional confirma.
ton were needed of the inherent
weakness of the case, the acquitta
of Mrs. Mooney on July 27, 1917
and of Israel Weinberg in the fol.
lowing October would seem to sup
ply it"

"OVERCOME WITH LIES"
CRY OF EX-KAISER.

Amerongen, July 23.-1 have
been covered with lies. ! covered
my generals, both at the front and
behind the lines, with decorations,
and they covered me with lies. If
/ had only been told the truth |
would have acted differently"
Thus runs the bitter plant of
ex-Kaiser Wilhelm III, according to
recent visitors at the castle here,
1t amounts almost to monomania,
they say, being the burden of all
conversation he carries on, no mat
ter with whom.
The ex-kaiser's periods of loquac-
ity are followed by outbreaks of re-
ligious hysteria, during which he
spends hours at one time praying
and singing psalms. His erraticism
greatly embarrasses even his most
devoted admirers.
The former emperor has abso-
lutely broken off relations with his
Oldest son, ex-Crown Prince Fried
erich William, though the latter
corresponds regularly with the ex-
empress. No word, however, passed
between the father and son. The
correspondent was assured that an
old castle in Germany has been Sc
lected and everything is in rea adi-
ness to receive the ex-kaiser but it
is doubtful if he will care to re-
turn and trust himself with his
own people, even if the Dutch per-
mitted his return.
Diplomatic circles at The Hague,
however, are by no means blind to
the possibility that the former mon
arch at some favorable opportunity
may endeavor to slip away be
fore the allied powers and Holland
have reached any agreement on the
subject of his delivery.

GERMANY WILL SIGN

1t is difficult to regard seriously
the reports that Germany may. after
all, refuse to sign the terms of peace
imposed by the Paris conference.
That the Huns viii be unwilling
to sign is known to all the world.
They are. AT heart, unwilling to
sign anything that will fall short of
making Germany the military mas

This time Germany camo. have

peace can be obtained in just ono
way, BY signing the terms laid down
by the allies.
Peace is depcratcly necessary to

PRESS AS PULPIT PROP
Presbyterian Church Gives Credit for
Gains to Newspaper Advertising.

PRESBYTERIAN Church Gives Credit for
Gains to Newspaper Advertising.
New York, Marlh 31.-Newspaper
advertising was given as one OF the
chief factors in the success OF the
Presbyterian Church drive for 40
GOO 900 for church work at home End
overseas, in a statement summarizing
the results Of the campaign, issued
here Thursday by Rev. DR.. Charles
Stelzle, publicity director of the drive.
Although complete returns are not
in, Dr.. Stelzle said, indications are
that the Presbyterian Church as a
whole has increased its benevolences
by 50 per cent. over last year, and 1t
is expected that the figure will 60 to
100 per cent. by the end of the year.
DR.. Stelzle urged continued use of
newspaper advertisements in the
membership campaign which is to fol-
low the fund drive.
'There is no agency" he asserted,
(which can be, made quite so effec-
tive as the daily newspaper in enlist
ing the interest of those who do not
go to church.
1T already has an entree into the
homes of the people; it is not looked
upon with suspicion; it appears every
day; the matter it contains is discus
sed by everyone, and wonth while adj
vertisements, paid for by the church
ard proclaiming religion, will be read
Ly many millions who would never,
in the first instance, go to church to
hear it discussed"

"LET US HAVE PEACE"

The words in the headline were ut
tered by General Grant after the
scenes at AppomattoX. 1t was at a
time when the radicals in Congress
were at their zenith, and at a time
when both sections of the country
were tired of war But the swivel
seated heroes in Washington. who
had viewed the four-years' war from
affair, were doing everything possible
to bar reconstruction and further
humiliate the south.
While the great majority in he
United States are satisfied President
Wilson and others representing the
United States are proceeding on
practical lines, people naturally
grow FESTIVE at the delay in bringing
about peace-the great dcsideratum.
Nothing could be more unfortunate
than the admission of further delay
in signing the treaty of peace says
the Richmond Timcs-Dispatch. The
whole world is crying out for an end
of war. Victorious nations. no less
than those which have been van
Quished, want formal declaration
that hostilities are ended. that block
AIDES are lifted, and that relations,
limited though they be, again may
pc established with enemy peoples,
and the powers which have been
under the most maddcning strain for
as soon as possible, to return to pre-
war conditions.
This being true, and no man can
gainsay it, the peace conference in
Paris must not. in justice to all in
terests, allow the conclusion of the
treaty to be deferred unnecessarily |
Such postponement hos been de-
manded by Italy. That nation wants
all issues settled in single docu-
ment 1t wants peace with Austria
and Turkey and Bulgaria included in
the pact which will make peace with |
Germany. The Italian demand has
been laid before the conference and
reports indicate that it has been prac-
tically acQuiesced in.
There Can be no objection to this
provided It does NOT hold up for an
other long pcrid the signing of the
treaty. Correspondents in Paris in
Sist that the granting Of Italv's uiti.
matum involves serious delays. 1t
promises now complications 1t !
means redrafting of the whole doc
ument. America. for example. is not
at war with Turkey and Bulgaria.
This fact adds to the complexities of +
the situation, it is pointed out, and
may have its embarrassments for the
American commissioners"
