TOM MOONEY,
BOYS SAY

BELLAIRE, Ohio, Nov. 18
G.N.S)-The stories that were
told by two eastern Ohio noun
taineers and which were sub
stantiated by two others, and
which tended to clear Thomas J.
Mooney, "life-termer" in Cal
ifornia prison, of any connection
with the Preparedness Day bomb
ing outrage In San Francisco,
July %, 1915, have received an
unusual corrobOration.
Louis Smith, ex-conyict, pur-
ported former German spy, and
soldier Of fortune" has been
named as the real perpetrator Of
the bombing which caused the
death. Of 10 persons and which
resulted In the injury Of two
score more.
Sister Gives Affidavit b
Mrs. Dora E. Monroe, sister Of
Smith, and wife of George Mon
roe, q mountaineer, who claims
he has several notcheS in his gun,
declared in an affidavit, which is
in possession Of international
News Service, that her brother,
Louis, had confessed to her that
he was the one who threw the
bomb into that crowd" Thomas
Mooney, Smith told his sister,
according to the affidavit, was
not even present"
A. L. Smith, Of Wheeling, w.
Va, a brother of Louis, who de-
scribed his brother as q "liar, a
jailbird and a thief" in signed
statement which is also in posses
sion Of international News
Service, substantiated Mrs. Mon
rce's story, but later repudiated
his statement.
When this writer attempted TO
interview him at his humble
home, his son, who called his
father Pap" answered the door
and threatened to shoot the
writer with a shotgun.
1t was learned authoritatively,
however, that A. l.. Smith denied
his story because he is afraid he
and his wife might be Subpoened
to appear in California. His wife
is sickly. She could not stand
the trip to California, relatives
declared.
Woman Repeats Story
The Monroe home is in the iso-
lated valley of Nine" so-called
because of two tragedies which
occurred there, each of which
claimed nine lives. One was a
mine disaster and the other a
flood. To reach the Monroe
shack, it was necessary to park
the automobile about a mile dis
tant, follow rough path and
ford two creeks through a wilder

PICKETT
DIFFERS WITH
CANNON

Inc majority OF the people do
not want moral leadership unless
moral issues are involved, nor do
they want straining of issues.
This Interpretation was placed
on the Democratic victory in the
recent Virginia gubernatorial
election by the Methodist Epis-
copal Board Of Prohibition, Tenn
perance Ind Public Morals here
yesterday.
The boards views, given in a
statement issued by Deets Pickett,
research secretary, were In con-
flict to some extent with the
general tenor Of the statement
cabled by Bishop James Cannon,
jr., from Brazil last week. Bishop
Cannon was disappointed because
the Virginia voters would not ac-
cept his issue Of "Raskobism.
I'VE need two parties, both
loyal to the Constitution" the
statement asserted. I'VE believe
we will have them in 1882"
"Raskobism" Refused
The statement, in part, follows:
In the first place, the Demo
cratic voters Of Virginia refused
flatly to believe that 'Raskobisrn'
was an issue in that State. The
Virginia coalitionists failed abso-
lutely to convince them that Ras-
kob had any remote relation to
the State election.
Their incredulity was not un-
reasonable when considered in
the light Of the fact that the
Democratic leaders in Virginia
had suffered more than anyone
else in the State because of the
utterances Of Raskob and Smith.
"All over the State one heard
from Democratic voters:
AT Asheville you said that
the fight on Smith was an emer-
gency and anyone could get into
it without sacrificing his local
democracy.
1--WE acted on that statement
in good faith and now If the
Democratic leaders in this State
treat us courteouSly and decently,
we are going to keep faith with
them, too
"The managers of the Demo-
cratic campaign sized up the sit
uation with admirable inteli-
gence. They were courteous and
conSiderate. There was no Sug-
geStion of outlawing Democrats
who voted according to their
conscience in 1923 and the Hoover
Democrats returned the courtesy
by refusing to punish the Demo
Gratis who remained regular in
that campaign.
Two Factors Considered
"The ms had to show two
things; first, that they were so
dry they couldn't be any drier.
And, second, that RaScob and
Smith were not local factors to
be considered. They succeeded in
both. Democrats in such a State
as Alabama may well get the les
son Of this. Any other policy
down there will mean a different
result.
THE ms also were helped by
the undoubted fact that no State
has been better governed than
Virginia in recent years. Good
roads now cover the State and
new consolidated SchoolhouseS
are seen on every hilltop, while
industrial interests are expand.
ing in a remarkable way
The dryS also need to face q
fact or two. One of them is that
the majority of the people de.
mand moral leadership when a
moral issue is at stake, but they
don't want it any other time, and
they don't want any Straining OF
issues, The question of right and
wrong must be absolutely clear
cut"

KODAK SALMON
 PACK FOR 1929
 TO EXCEED 1928
FISHERMEN ARE REFURNISH- ING EQUIPMENT FOR LAST
 MONTH OF WORK

KODIAK, Aug, 20, Special to the Gateway)-In spite of the fact that the west side of the island has disappointments, the Kodiak sal mon canning district as whole has slightly exceeded the early sea- son estimate as to pack at the close of the first phase with a pack of 500,000 cases. Before the entire season closes, it seems probable that another 5O,OOO cases will be added to the total.
 This information is not given out by fisheries bureaus but has been checked by reliable cannery men and is authentic.
 The Kodiak Fisheries with their plants at Kodiak and Shearwater Bay, seem to lead the list with 84,- 900 cases of which 52,000 were can ned here, speaking of August 18th.
 Next in line are P. A. F., at Alitak with 10000; A. F. A., Olga Bay, TO- GOO; San Juan at Uganik, with 40,- 900; A. P. F., Lasson Bay, 36,000; P. A. F.. zacker Bay, 31,000; Trinity Packing, Three Saints Bay, 25,000; Crosby Fisheries, 25,000; Katmai Packing, 19,OOO; Kodiak Island F & P, 31,0O0; N. W. F., Uyak, 16,0OO; No. Pac. Fisheries, 12,000; Grimes Packing, Ouzinkie, 1000; Shelikoff Packing, 5000; Paionreau Co.,, Raspberry Island, 1,200 and Hoge plant, Blue Fox Bay estimated at near 1000.
 Kodiak has done much better than last year but the plant here is capable of handling more fish than fell to their nets. On the whole, however it has been an excellent season for the so-called small fish ermen. who up and down the east and south sides of the island have averaged better than $500 per man for less than two months work and who have hopes of adding greatly to their income before the season closes. The herring possibilities are always in the offing and are being prepared for. Pinks and chums have been the main catch so far, but silvers are beginning to come in. All of the district fisher men are refurnishing their gear preparing for at least another month of hard work.

IT DEPENDS UPON SOURCE OF INFORMATION

Speaking before the Anchorage Chamber of Com meTce where the visiting Oongressmen spent sufficient tune to partake Of sumptuOus meal, listen the usual stereOtyped patudes, proftered in the hope of creating good impression, Chairman Dlckenson of the House subapprOpnatons committee said that everyone satisfied with the administration of the federal laws in Alaska.
 Considering the source MT. Dickenson received his information he was correct The information did not from the people of Alaska but from the Bureau cratic chaperones who timed the itinerary of the Con- gressonal delegation that there no time for them to establish intimate personal contact with the public
 Hardly had MT. Dickensons words died away be- fore he received memorial from 200 odd men suggest ing improvement in the administration of the fur law Had he fingered sufficient tme and had been detached from his chaperones long enough to have attuned his to an equal number of fishermen, cannerymen gas boatmen, and laborers connected with industry he would have received vigorous complaint against the mode of procedure of the bureaus, arriving at night decisions.
 But, as pointed out by the Gateway before the arr val of the Congressional party, it not intended that they should learn any than the burea,crats desired In this respect the tour all that could have been wished
 Now if Mr. Dickenson and his associates could slip back unawares, attend of the open forums where men wont to gather he might revise hls opn- ion In fact he would discover that the only sats fled with the situation those who represent the b reaus and that his information through preudlced sources.

New Ork. Oct. 9.-That the hard ware trade of the country is mark ing time to some extent is indicated by the reports from important market ccnters, Hardware Age will say tomorrow in is weekly market summary. While retailers are noting a slight recession of trade in some sections at this time, iohhers are re- porting somewhat better demand. This is largely due to the fact that stocks are being ropleuishrd for ud- vance fall and winter demand. The general opinion is that the outlook is good for the balance of the year.
 There has been little or no let down in the level Of general omploy- ment and the agricultural sections of the country are expected to be as important a factor in buying as ever, due to good prices and fair crops.
 The price situation is not greatly changed. but new adjustments are appearing regularly in the market.
 Collections arc fairly satisfactory.
