BILLINGS CASE
NOT CONFIDENT:
Since Former Witnesses Turned
Turtle New Aspect is GiVen;;
to Reopen Entire Matter.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. "a. -
james F. Brennan, who prosecuted
Billings on the charge of being impli-
Gated in the bomb outrage of 1916,
makes the public statement that 'I've
always said that there were certain
imprOba bilities about the testimony
of the witnesses in the bomb cases,
and I said I would rather have the
jury pass upon the evidence than my
self'
Brennan was assistant district at
torney at the time. He now says that
''the affidavit Of John Mcdonald
Confessed perjurer) puts the bomb
cases in an entirely different light.
If the witnesses in these cases
have proven themselves unreliable
enough that they are now willing to
make affidavits that their testimony
was false, it is unsafe to try to uphold
any conviction based on that sort of
evidence. That is natural conclu-
sion.
Il was of the opinion that the evil
dence in the Billings case did not JUS
tify the death penalty. It didn't war
rant taking mans life. And I
would not attempt to justify a hang
ing verdict.
"Policeman Draper Hand, who re-
Gently charged the bomb cases to be a
frameup, had full supervision of the
witnesses. He made written reports
of their testimony. These were filed
with the police department.. They
ought to be available. now that an
investigation is under way. If any
witnesses were framed in the bomb
: trial they were framed long before
they came to the district district at
torney's office. I hope that any in
quiry that is begun at this time will
embrace all the phases of the case,
so that if Mooney and. Billings are
shown to have been sent to Jail by
perjury they will be released"

At a gathering of the directors of
the coal association held in Cincinnati
last June the sessions were given rup
almost entirely to a, discussion of an
"education" campaign that. had been
launched by the publicity committee.
Chairman Peabody explained to his
associates the desirabil:ty of stimulat-
ing demand for coal as the alternative
Of substantial reduction of prices.
Large industrial concerns. he said,
were holding back orders in the ex-
pectation of getting better terms. Un-
less some plan was devised that would
put the public in buying mood It
would be necessary to close mines or
lower prices, most embarrassing sit
uation. he thought. If prices were
cut. he explained. it would be diff
cult to justify an increase later when
the demand reached its peak. 49, -

glowing terms as ''the Great molder of

!. Their combined efforts had enabled
the operators to defray the expenses
OF the campaign out Of the increased
profits of two days coal production:
The association voted increases of
salaries to all of its officers-presi-

assessed a small sum to promote. an
"educational campaign" He knew Is
or 20 editors who would be amenab!e
to reason. and he presumed that other
operators could apply pressure where
it would do good.
Chairman Peabody said he had dis
cussed the subject with my dear
friend, Melville E. Stone, Of the AS
sociated Press" and he had agreed to
send out number of articles to the
members Of his association, telling
about the famine" that faced the ma
ton. In fact, Mr.. Stone had already
sounded out the, public and the result
was gratifying and instantaneous.
Mr.. Brewster, member of the
committee, told what happened in st..
Louis. There the editors had taken
seriously the Associated Press reports
anC wrote editorials beseeching their
readers to buy COAL declaring that
prices would, be much higher before
they were lower.
And" Mr. Brewster naively con-
tinued, ''we were able to close five
contracts that had ..een. hanging fire.
These men had been holding out for
lower prices and we had almost given
up hope of closing their contracts. But

RATES TOO ] HIGH
Pennsylvania Railroad Publicity
Agent Says They Are More
Than Traffic viii Bear,

NEW YORK. Feb. 24.-"Freight
rates are too high, higher than the
traffic will BEAR" said Ivy Lee, pub
icity agent for the Pennsylvania rail-
road, in an address in this city. The
speaker was at one time connected
with the Rockefeller interests in a
public-opinion- -molding capacity.
The statement regarding freight
rates is interesting in view of recent
claims made by the railroads that
higher rates were their only protection
from bankruptcy, and if the interstate
commerce commission did not grant
increases the companies would be
wrecked.
Mr.. Lee also stated that if present
RAILROAD conditions are. not remedied
the railroads will be forced in govern
ment ownership.
