San Francisco, April 18.-Another
step in the campaign to free Thomas
I. Mooney and Warren X. Billings
from state prison, where they are
serving life sentence for bomb ex-
plosion here, was taken today when
District Attorney Brady addressed a
letter to Governor Stephens asking
that the men be pardoned. Brady's

while a phase of the Mooney case
was being heard. that he would en-

In his letter to the governor,
Brady said that it was his belief
that Mooney and Billings were con-
victed on perjured evidence and
that their continued incarceration is a
reflection on justice as it is ad-
ministered in California. He specit-

No Coupons Are Necessary
- for Trip-to-France Contest
Good Will Editor Suggests That Towns Enter but
One Candidate Thus Making it Entirely Pos
sible for Every Nominee to Win Tour
Abroad-Keen Interest Shown

A glance at the nominations al
ready made in the Omaha Good
Will election shows widespread
interest.
A number OF additional names
have been sent in. but are being
held for the necessary endorsement
of two responsible parties. This
condition must be complied with as
it is impossible for the local CON-
n1ittee to investigate all the names
being entered.
1t is suggested for towns through
out the state that they enter and
sponsor a single candidate to be
known as the candidate of their
city. In this manner it is possible
for every girl who is nominated to
secure one Of the trips to France.
No contributions should be solic-
tied during the period of nomina.
ton The voting period will follow
the nominations and it is desired
that every candidate entered shall
have an equal opportunity to be
elected. Before the voting DeginS
ballot books will be distributed to
the candidates with full instructions
regarding the solicitation of funds,
disposition OF money collected
through the efforts Of themselves
and friends. The time OF voting will
be short and meanwhile candidates
already nominated are securing the
support Of as many friends as pos
sible.

In a number of industries of
Omaha so many girls have expressed
their determination to win oDe of

Road Worries of
PhelpsCounty'Are
TakenUpinProbe
Investigating Committee Gets
to Bottom of Claim That
State Was Extrav-
agant.

Holdrege, Neb.. April lS.L(Spe-
cial Telegram. Road worries OF
Phelps county occupied full day OF
the time of the committee investi-
eating costs OF state and county high
way systems.
The committee thought for time
it had reached a county wherein il
could find relative costs of state
and county roads built under similar
conditions. 1t had been advertised
in letters that c. M. Miller, county
engineer, had built a county road as
good as the federal aid road at a
cost of 5000 mile, against $1,000 a
mile for federal aid roads.
The first thing the committee did
was to view the two roads. The
county road runs directly out Of
Holdrege for six miles, and meets
the federal road, which extends 10
miles. Both roads looked good.
County Road Was Old.
Upon investigation, however, the
committee learned that excavations
double those made for the county
roads were necessary for the fed
eral road; that where the county
was content with w" shaped drain
age bitches. the government required
square drainage ditch three feet
across; that the county road - the
road nearest the town--had been
kept in good repair for years, and
the grade gradually fixed, while the
federal road, further from town,
was rougher, hitler and more sandy.
Miller had only off-hand figures
on the cost OF the road to present
to the committee. The state depart
inent had its figures available.
Miller admitted he couldn't build
the road built by the state at the
same price he claimed he built the
county road. He asserted, however,
the federal road could be built
cheaper than the state built it.
"Mr. Miller, did you ever build
road under conditions similar to
those which faced the state on its
federal highway in this county,"
Senator B. X. Bushee asked "No,' =
replied Miller.
Johnson Sums Up Conditions.
Gentlemen, here's the whole situa.
ton in a NUTSHELL" Mr.. johnson
said. When this department and the
county board signed the contract to
build this federal aid road here there
was competitive bidding. Everyone
was invited to bid. The county could
have bid on the job if it believed it
could do the work cheaper. But it

Tariff Comes First.
The republican caucus failed TO take
action to sidetrack the tariff bill ia
favor OF immediate bonus legislation
and approved the program to begin
the tariff debate on Thursday. Chair
man McCumber is in favor OF giving
the bonus bill the right OF way ss
soon as reported by the committee
but President Harding thinks the
tariff bill should not be displaced. No
action was taken as to the form OF
the bonus bill The discussion de-
vcloped widely divergent views on
this point. No attempt was made
to place the senators on record tor
the bill as passed by the house.
Senator Lenroot, Wisconsin. spon-
sored the motion putting the repub-
licans on record for immediate bonus
legislation. 1t was approved by .
vote Of 26 to 9. Those WHO voted
against the motion were: Senator's
Calder and Wadsworth. New York;

Consideration OF the bonus Dill is
expected to be begun by the scna.e

for tomorrow has been postponed
because of the absence Of Senator
McCumber, who has been III his
home state during the past Jew days
Senator McCumber is expected back

Representatives OF veterans or
ganizations have been notified T
appear before the committee on
Thursday to express their views as
to the house bill.
1t is likely that the bonus bill
will not be reported froni tie finance
committee in less than two weeks
kor possibly month.
Some question has arisen as to the
right of the senate ic add any rev

that the bonus bill i'll the form
