'BOMBERS' TO KEEP
UP LIBERTY FIGHT
California Court Holds Bill
ingS and Mooney Had Fair
and Impartial Trial.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.-Their
latest efforts to end a 13-year-old SEN
tence for the Preparedness day bomb
ings here in 1916 frowned upon by the
California Supreme Court Thomas ].
Mooney and Warren K. Billings said
today they would continue their fight
for liberty.
The California Supreme Court yester-
day presented to Gov. c. c. Young an
adverse recommendation on Billings
application for pardon, holding he
had fair and impartial trial. Gov.
Young has indicated his action on
MONEYS application for pardon would
be guided by the courts recommended
ton in Billings case.
Maintain Innocence.
Ten we're killed and forty injured in
the bombings for which Mooney and
Billings we're sent to prison. Since
their conviction they have steadfastly
maintained they were victims of per-
Jured testimony.
In his petition for a pardon Billings
attacked the testimony of John Nc
Donald, a waiter, who, he said, since
the trial had made an AFFIDAVIT repudi-
ating his testimony.
He said the testimony of Frank c..
OXman, Durkee, Greg, cattleman was
false, as it had been proved he was
asleep at Woodland at the time of the
fatal explosion. Billings said he was
considering two future lines of action,
one habeas corpus proceedings, leading
perhaps to the United States Supreme
Court.
Associated With PIOtters.
The courts decision pointed out
Billings and Mooney were associated
with a San Francisco group engaged
in plotting against law and order. Bill
lngs' past, the court held, made it IAN
almost irresistible conclusion that If
Billings did not prepare and plant
the deadly time bomb of the Prepared
ness day disaster, he and his associates
and co-defendant Mooney knew and
have always known, who did prepare
and plant the bomb and the deadly
purpose for which 1t was prepared and
planted"
The decision was to /, Associate
Justice Langdon dissenting Il am not
so free from doubt of petitioners guilt
as to withhold recommendation for
executive clemency," he said.
Gov. Young said his action on
MONEYS pardon plea would be guided
by the recommendation in Billings case.
Mooney, who works in the San Quen-
tin tailor shop, once refused a parole,
saving It's acceptance would be an ad-
mission Of guilt Billings is confined
al Folsom, prison for those with orevi-
Gus convictions.

bags, carrying entrants in the national

difficulties shortly after take-off.
He was flying at an altitude of $50
feet some 10 miles northwest of Hous-

COOPER, irish LEADER,
EXPIRES AT AGE OF as
Veteran Soldier Was Conspicuous
as Dublin'S Representative
in Dali Eireann.
BY the Associated Press.

DUBLIN, July 5.-Maj. Bryan Ricco
Cooper, widely known Irish Statesman
and soldier, died here today at the age
of As.
Maj. Cooper was conspicuous for his
activities as a member of the Dali, rep
resenting Dublin County.
He was elected a Conservative MEM
Der Of the British Parliament in 1910.
In 1919 he succeeded Baron Decies as
Irish press censor. He attracted atten-
ton three years ago when he publicly
threatened 70 grow beard # his wife
/ mad her hair bobhed.
, Maj. Cooper saw wide service as a
soldier. He began as a second lieuten-
ant in the Royal Field Artillery, but re-
signed in 1903 and thereafter served
as an officer in various territorial regi-
mentS until the World War
His principal activities in that con-
fiict were service with the 10th Irish
Division in Gallipoli and Macedonia,
and later serving on the staff of the
Salonika army and of the war office.
His political career varied from serv-
ing as high sheriff of Sligo to the sec
retaryship of the Irish Unionist Al
| lance and election to the Dali Eireann
and the British Parliament in 1927. He
was president of the Dublin Rotary
Club.

HIGHER POLICE PAY
|. STATUS IS PUZZLE
Failure to Complete ReSoIu-
ton on Funds Makes Early
Payments Problem.

In the closing hours of the session
Just ended Congress, it developed today,
did not succeed in putting the finishing
touches on joint resolution intended
to make the current appropriation for
the Police and Fire Departments avail
able to pay the increased salary for
policemen and f1remen recently author
lied by separate law.
The bill authorizing the salary in
creases was signed by President Hoover
several days ago and is law, but the
fact that the subsequent resolution
relating to the availability of funds was
not completed gave rise today to Specu-
lation as to whether 1t will be possible
to pay the increase during the recess Of
Congress.
Has to Bear Signatures.
The joint resolution passed the Senate
in the final hour Of the session Thurs
day night and had previously passed the
House. Before a measure goes to the
President for his signature, however, 1t
has to be signed by the presiding officers
of the House and Senate.
After the Senate passed the resolu-
ton Thursday night it was dispatched
back to the House to be signed by the
presiding officer there, but, so far as
could be learned today, 1t did not get
through these last stages in time to be
signed by the presiding officers at both
| ends Of the Capitol. If it had reached
the President, he would have had 10
| days in which to sign 1t, but 1t did not
leave the Capitol.
Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent
of police, and Maj. Daniel j. Donovan
auditor and budget officer, were I'M
aware of the status of the salary in
creaSes because of the lack of sigma
lures on the resolution authorizing the
additional appropriations necessary to
put them into effect. Both informally
expressed the opinion, however, that
some plan probably could be devised
to grant the increases until Congress
reconvenes in December and the appro-
priation authorized either in a def
cheney bill or by special legislation.
Intention Is Clear.
Since the new salary law is on the
statute books, and both the Senate and
House passed the resolution authorizing
the appropriation to put it into effect,
1t was pointed out there Is no doubt
that Congress clearly intended for the
police and firemen to have the in
creased salaries effective July /. Hence,
it is believed at the District Building
that plan can be worked out to pay
the new wage scale.
Maj. Donovan declared he wanted to
make thorough study of the situation,
however, before expressing a definite
opinion. He has been confined to his
bed on account of illness for the last
10 days and was unable to keep in
close touch with the legislative develop
