SAN FRANCISCO, December Gov
James Rolph, jr., today opened hear
ing for presentation Of an application
for Tom Mooney, convicted Of bombing
the San Francisco preparedness parade
in 1915.
With Gov. Rolph on the bench of
the Supreme Court as legal advisers
were Matt I. Sullivan, former chief jus
tice of the Supreme Court, and Louis
r. Byington, former district attorney
Daniel ]. O'Brien, State director OF
penology, also sat on the bench with the
Governor and lawyers.
Police Head Excused.
Gov. Rolph, reading from q memo
randuun. announced Theodore j. Roche,
San Francisco police commissioner, had
asked to be excused from participating
at this hearing. Roche based his re-
quest on the ground Of propriety, hold
ing that the criticism Of police connec-
tion with past proceedings in the
Mooney case made 1t inadvisable, be-
cause of his relationship to the police
department, to sit as a counsellor.
For personal reasons, satisfactory 70
me. Mr. John l.. McNab will not par
ticipate," the Governor said with refer
ence to the latter's disinclination to
participate.
Frank P. Walsh, Mayor Walker Of
New York, Aaron Sapiro and Cyrus b.
King, Oakland lawyer, were introduced
as attorneys for Mooney.
Walsh Opens Argument.
As soon as the court was free of
photographers, Walsh started the OPEN
ing argument for the petitioner:
The 67-year-old New York lawyer,
who has fought for Mooney for Is
years, started the first address by
plunging into an earnest discussion Of
possible miscarriages Of justice.
He said no member Of the STAN Of
counsel for Mooney had been guilty OF
any propaganda, charges or recrimina-
tions. The speaker recalled that he
succeeded the late w. Bourke Cochran
as counsel for Mooney.
Walsh referred to the fact that the
California court had said soon after
charges of perjured testimony were
made that IL wrong had been done
it could be righted only by the Gov
ernor.
"Your excellency has granted Mooney
the first open and full hearing IN Is
years." said Walsh.
Points 10 Long Record.
He ran rapidly through the history
Of the case as presented to the Cover
nors of California from Gov. w. D..
Stephens to Gov. Rolph.
Take out Of this record the testimony
OF Frank c. Orman and John Mac
Donald and there Is not line to con-
meet Thomas j. Mooney with this
fiendish crime" the lawyer said.
Mayor Walker has received letter,
which the Call-Bulletin says Is favor
able to q pardon for Thomas Mooney,
from Charles Fickert, Los Angeles at
torney, who as district attorney Of San
Francisco, prosecuted Mooney.
Mayor Walker admitted receiving the
letter, but declined to discuss 1t before
the pardon hearing before Gov. James
Rolph, jr., today. The Call-Bulletin
says ,Fickert admitted writing the let
ter, but declined to discuss its contents.
Pickert, attorney for the State Board
Of Medical Examiners, was In San Fran
cisco today. Heretofore he had declared
his belief that Mooney bombed the 1915
preparedness parade here, for which he
is serving life sentence in San Quen-
tin Prison.

TO PUSH
EASIER CREDIT LAW
Conservative Liberalization
of Reserve Rediscount Act
Opposed by Banks.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Undaunted by disapproval from the
Federal Reserve Banks of any change
in rediscounting requirements, Senate
proponents of credit liberalization pre-.
pared today to go ahead with their
drive.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan, who Is ready with bill for
amending the reserve act to extend the
requirements, planned conferences with
colleagues to map Q course to press 1t
for action.
Meanwhile Senator Walcott, Repub-
lican, Of Connecticut consulted with
President Hoover on the rediscount
question.
The President has recommended
some relaxation of requirements, but
Walcott reported him in opposition to
any wide liberalization.
Must BE Conservative.
I'VE are all agreed" the legislator
said. that the system must stand as
Rock of Gibraltar. 1t Is now per-
fectly safe to say, also, that President
Hoover feels as we do, that any increase
in eligibility Of paper for rediscount
must be very conservative"
The Senate Subcommittee has been
framing proposals, some Of which are
designed to cement leaks through which
Federal Reserve credit has been made
available for stock speculation.
Walcott said he expected the subcom-
mittee's proposals would be completed
by next week.
In a reply to QUESTIONABLE from
the Senate Subcommittee, headed by
Senator Glass, Democrat, Of Virginia,
the IL Reserve Banks expressed them
selves with few exceptions as not in
favor Of tampering with existing re-
quirements and regulations.
The Reserve banks also gave their
opinions on restrictive credit policies
to prevent use of Federal credits in
speculation, only the Atlanta and Bos-
ton districts reporting efforts to curb
speculation by Tightening credit.
Adjourned for Week.
After hearing Senator Vandenberg's
proposals, the Glass Committee yester-
day adjourned until a week from today.
Among the exceptions to the majority
opposition to changing Reserve require
mentS are proposals from the Dallas
district for making landlords loans to
tenant farmers eligible for rediscount
and suggestions from the Chicago Fed
eral Reserve Bank for extending ma
turity dates in emergencies from 90
days to six months.
Senator Vandenberg's proposals were
worked out in conjunction with Gov.
Roy A. Young Of the Boston Federal
Reserve Bank, former governor Of the
Reserve Board. He expects reasonable
liberalization at this session."
His bill provides for extending the
rediscount privilege to unsupported
bonds such as those of cities, counties
and school districts, and provides for an
emergency rediscount ruling at the op-
ton of the reserve banks and board to
permit acceptance Of sound paper other.

WASHINGTON, June ga gen.
eral indictment of the present Sys-
tenn of prosecuting lawbreakers was
handed down today by the Wicker
sham commission in it's fourth re-
port. Prosecutors, the report said,
indirectly are allied through polit-
ical utilization with crime in some
localities.
The report revealed that out of
every 100 prosecutions in Chicago
or New York only four or five re-
suit in conviction. Cincinnati'S
percentage is II, Milwaukee's 60
and Baltimore'S higher than SO. In
that city there were 2,248 prosecu-
tons and 1911 convictions in 1923.
There is close connection" the
report said, between corrupt local
political organizations and criminal
organizations. The former exploit
and the latter organize law-breaking
and vice.

from what amounts to licensed
violations of the law.
ut has happened frequently that
the prosecuting attorney withdraws
wholly from the courts and devotes
himself to the political side and
sensational investigatory functions
of his Office, leaving the work Of
prosecution wholly to his assistants.
Between the desire for publicity
and the fear of offending those who
control local politics, the tempta-
ton is strong to fall into an in
effective perfunctory routine for
everyday cases, with spectacular
treatment of sensational cases."
The report largely absolved juries
Of blame for freeing of criminals.
Few felony prosecutions ever reach
the jury stage, it brought out. In
Chicago the percentage is 3.8, New
York At, Cincinnati lib, st. Louis
10, and Cleveland 1876. Most Of
this stoppage of prosecution, the
report said, originates in the Office
of the prosecutor. Frequently, it
added, cases are dropped on receipt
of a plea of guilty to a lesser
Offense.
