the decorations.
Bailey was taken to the city

PROGRESS IS SLOW
IN MONEYS CASE
Prisoner Has No Hope of
Freedom Until Late in
Spring.

BIZ ScrippS- H otodrd Newspaper Alliance
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 25.-.Tom
Mooney and Warren K. Billings will
spend New Years day as felons,
working eight hours at their StintS.
This became certain here as the
two new official bodies called into
the case by Governor Young began
tedious set of Investigations OF
the "frameup" evidence.
The state supreme court, to which
the Billings case was referred, is
busy on the mountain of briefs,
af1davits and perjury evidence, each
of the seven justices delving sep
arately on the case. The advisory
pardon board, headed by Lieuten-
ant-Governor H. L. Carnahan, has
organized for q long set of hear
ingS.
On this board are Attorney-Gen-
eraI U. S. Webb, Chairman James
j. Johnston of the state crime COM
mission, Warden James Holohan of
San Quentin, and Warden Court
Smith of Folsom. AS these bodies
dug in for the winter, it became evil
dent that it will be March or April
before Governor Young will be able
to act on the pardon pleas.
Mooney Works as Waiter
Mooney spent Christmas at his
regular task of waiter in the San
Quentin guards mess hall. He has
had only nine days off in fourteen
years, and these nine days were
spent in the hospital. Billings has
a new job. He has been trans
ferred from his old trusty job as
gardener to a place as laundry
worker inside the Folsom prison
walls.
Both Mooney and Billings are
hopeful, but stoical. On Dec. 8
Mooney celebrated" his forty
seventh birthday. A local radio pro-
gram announcer told of this event
and over the air congratulated
Mooney upon "his calm spirit
On this occasion MONEYS aged
mother sent him a cherry message
via the air. MY boy" she said, az
hope you'll be out soon! Happy
birthday"
Papers Criticise Young
AS off1c:aldom numbered heavily
forward toward the pardon, believed
inevitable in view of recent revela-
tons of corruption, newspapers
throughout California became rest
i've and openly critical of Governor
Young for ''sidestepping" the de-
c:sion and passing the buck to
the pardon board and court.
Even the rural press has joined
the chorus demanding quick pardon
action. While here and there a
country paper refers to Mooney as
"a dangerous anarchist" not one
important paper has urged further
incarceration of the men. Even the
anti-union Los Angeles Times has
held it's peace.

Viking Father of Lost Airm1i1n
Refuses to Believe Son Is Dead
Parent Will Fly North to
Seek Carl EieISon If Pres
ent Hunt Fails.

By NEA Serrfce
TTATTON, N. D., Dec. 25.-If Carl
L l. Ben Eielson, famous Arctic
f1ier, has lost his life in the north
land-he has been missing in the
desolate North Cape district since
Nov. 9-his aged father, Ole Eiel-
son. will not do any whining about 1t.
The Viking-like old man is ready
to accept the DEGREES OF fate. He
will grieye, Of course-but he feels
that his son has had full, useful
life; and he believes that that Is
the main thing.
Eielson and a mechanic disap-
peared while making a second re-
lief trip to the fur schooner, Nanuk,
frozen in the ice off Siberia.
EieIson. a pioneer Dakotan and a
retired banker, however, is not ready
to give up hope He is confident
that his son is alive, and if he is
not found by Feb. /, the father plans
to go to the Arctic himself and ask
Joe Crosson, famous Alaskan t1ler,
to take him on a searching trip.
"Crosson was one of Ben's closest
friends" he says. eff my boy has
been killed, want to bring his body
back to Hatton and bury it beside
his mother"
The father refuses to give his son
up for lost. Three Of his sisters feel
the same way, Alma here; Hannc~
at Mayville, N. D., and Helen at
Grand Forks, N. D., all holding out
hopes that their brother landed
safely and will be found as soon as a
searching party is able to make
Roadway. But Adelaine, at We
natchee, Wash, believes her brother
a victim of the Arctic in which he
has flown successfully for the last
seven years.
There are also two brothers,
Arthur r. Eielson, who is with the
Westinghouse company in New York,
and Oliver Eielson, who is with an
American meat packing agency at
Lima, Peru.
EieIson's last letter to his family,
dated Oct. IL. and written from
Fairbanks, Alaska, reads as follows:
Dear Dad and Folks:
"There is not much to report
from here except the usual round
of flying. The consolidation of the
companies has worked out well and
business has been fair so far. We
have some peculiar errandS to make,
carrying Eskimos, herding reindeer,
carrying live foxes, mink and dogs,
gold, fur, machinery.
We carry lot of sick people to
hospitals. This morning a plane
left on a 300-n1ile trip to take a
doctor to a place where a woman
was bleeding to death. This is
certainly an interesting place to fly
"Hope everything is going good
at home. Best greetings to all. Your
son. ..-....... BEN"
