MOONEY FIFTEEN

Calls Sentence Reproach
for California.

By United Press
SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Cal,
July 28.-Tom Mooney began today
the sixteenth year of his life term
in San Quentin still determined to
fight for pardon on his conviction
OF murder in the San Francisco
bomb outrage.
Working as usual over a hot
kitchen stove, Mooney found time to
issue statement on the fifteenth
anniversary Of his incarceration.
II wonder how many more such
anniversaries the world will charge
against the state of California" the
former labor leaders statement said.
Let it be remembered that my
fifteen years of unjust imprisonment
signify fifteen years of reproach for
California.
Great impetus has been added to
my efforts to secure a pardon by the
report of the Wickersham commits
sion to the President of the United
States. The straightforward as
Sertion that the law which compels
my prolonged Imprisonment is
shocking to ones sense of justice
has brought forth thousands of
similar pronouncements from lead
ers of public thought and opinion in
this country"

STIMSON SEES
RECOVERY NEAR
FOR GERMANY
Urges Change in Outlook of
Nations Officials and
People.

LONDON, July 2S.-Necessity for
a complete change of national psy-
chology in Germany if the Reich IS
to recover from its economic ills
was emphasized today by Secretary
of State Henry L. Stimson, upon his
return from Berlin.
Expressing the belief that re-
covery will be certain if there is a
change Of front by the government
and a change Of heart by the peo-'
pie, StimSon pointed out that any
nation which has fallen into the
habit Of excessive complaining nat
urally finds it difficult to reverse its
methods and processes of thinking.
Stimson feels, however, that the
Germans themselves are beginning
to understand that there must be
some bright spot in the present
situation, and that although the
crisis is not over, conditions are
considerably bettered already.
Referring to the question of
pocket battleships," the building of
which has been a thorn in the side
of France, Stimson argued that
Germany has q good case, since she
is the only diafrmed nation in Eu-
rope.
Stimson anticipates no immediate
resumption Of the seven-power con-
ference. He revealed that whenever
he discussed disarmament in Eu-
rope 1T was to discover that the

sorship in getting his stories to the
newspapers he is serving.
"Often his dispatch may be
stopped at the cable or radio Of
flee, or it may be deleted in part
with or without his knowledge.
Later he may be invited to leave
the country on the grounds that he
has sent untruthful and damaging
dispatches"
How American press services are
being expanded to collect world
news not only for newspapers of
this country, but for papers in other
nations was explained by the
speaker. The United Press serves
more than 1000 papers in this
country and publications in more
than forty other nations.
The fact that foreign news
agencies often are subsidized by
governments and are regarded as
the semi official spokesman of the
governments was cited as the chief
reason for the growth of American
services in furnishing the truth to
papers abroad.

IS SPEAKER AT
ROTARY SESSION
J. H. Furray Credits News
With Extending Horizon
of Man.

Wide differences lii news tastes
are found throughout the world, but
events frequently change them radi-
cally, and these changes may affect
the reading appetites Of entire con-
tinents, ]. H. Furay, general man
ager of the United Press foreign
service, told the Rotary Club today
at the Claypool.
Furay is a former Indianapolis
newspaper man.
1.-The fight of Colonel Lindbergh,
for example, made marked differ
ence in interest in aviation news in
general, not only in this country
but in all countries Of the world"
he said.
1.-THE sudden meteoric appearance
Of Luis Angel Firpo in the Ameri-
can prize ring seven or eight years
ago not only affected the interest
in this country in boxing, but COM.
pletely revolutionized news tastes in
South America, creating an intense
interest in boxing affairs, where
literally none existed before"
World Getting Bigger
Although admitting the truth Of
the often-heard statement that "the
world is getting smaller" Furay as
serted that, paradoxically, the world
also Is getting bigger.
News, described as the most per-
ishable commodity, is given the
credit for raising the horizon and
the viewpoint Of the ordinary, I'M
travelled man in the street so that
the world for him has grown ire
mendously, Furay said.
News is so perishable," he said,
that while 1t may be almost price
less to its posseSsor at given in
slant, 1t is stale and fiat and worth
less five minutes later"
Describes Foreign Service
Describing the obstacles that con-
front foreign correspondents of
American newspapers in obtaining
the truth in foreign news, Furay
secuted the f1ction-fostered idea
that the job of foreign correSpon-
dent is one romantic episode after
another.
"The foreign correspondents I have
met" he declared, generally are
serious-minded young men who
have to work just as hard as their
colleagues in this country"
The job of the press association
in obtaining the truth in foreign
news and presenting it to the news
papers Of the world is complicated,
Furay commended.
He pointed out that the CORE
spondent must guard against bias,
inaccuracy, bad Judgment and CEN

European nations themselves have
problems which they must solve be-
fore they are in satisfactory mood

Seymour Postmaster Says
He Gave No Money to
Politicians.

Two witnesses, a public relations
counsel" and former public service
commissioner, were called today be-
fore Samuel o. Dowden, federal
court master in chancery, in the
attempt by attorneys for the
commission to show stained hands
in the rate-raising efforts of the
Southern Indiana Telephone and
Telegraph Company.
The company sought telephone
rate increases in thirty towns of
southern Indiana, and now Is seek
ing to enjoin the public service
commission from interfering.
DR.. Haskell Lett, veterinarian,
and postmaster Of Seymour, Ind,
who served as the public relations
counsel for the company since June,
1923, first was called. He was to get
$500 a month salary, he said, but
only received in that time, till Oc-
tober, 1880, $1,000.
His general duties were to pro
mote good will between the Arm

Called Personal Loan
He denied emphatically that any
money paid him by L. G. GrifhttS,
then president of the company,
reached the hands of any of his
principals in the case, Bert Fuller,
Bert Morgan, Calvin Macintosh, or
any member Of the commission.
He claimed that 1000 which he
paid to Fuller and Morgan Jointly
was in payment for personal loan.
However, the loan was paid from
funds he received from Grifitts.
Lett also denied telling Grihitts
TO meet somebody" at the Lincoln
hotel, as Grifitts testified Monday.
Macintosh took the stand to deny
that he called Griff1tts at the Co.
lunbia Club during a rate case
When E. S. WEIGH, his general man
ager, was present. Both Grif1tts
and WEIGH testified that he called
TO make an appointment.
He declared that Grifhtts called
Tor the same reason and he refused,
as he was too busy. He also said
he never had known Lett and never
had seen him until the hearing.
Fund Diversion Charged
John F. Kent of Chicago, vice
president of the concern, claimed
from the witness stand that he did
not know Lett was on the pay roll
till November, 1880, when Grifatts
was asked to resign.
When the resignation was asked.
Kent told Griffitts that the special
account which he had opened was
merely a subterfuge to avoid the
requirement Of having two sigma
lures from the Chicago Office on
checks. and that he had diverted
funds to his own use.
