YOUNG COMPOSER
IS GRANDSON OF
LOCAL RESIDENTS

El Centrans will be interested in
news Of a young Fresno composer,
James H. Morrison, son OF Mrs.
Edna Morrison of this city, and
grandson of Mr.. and Mrs. j. T.
holland, also residents of this city.
At a concert given recently In
the Fresno high school a number
of the compositions written by Nor
rlson were presented by a group of
Los Angeles musicians and received
great praise from critics who pre-
dicted that he would go far.
Songs, violin numbers, works for
the piano, and an ambitious trio
in four movements for piano, vio-
lin, and cello comprised the pro-
pram, surely variety Of musical
expression that would do credit to
many a more noted composer than
the young Fresnan" stated one critic.
Another declared Mr.. Morrison is
blessed with natural gift Of melo-
dy and his scoring in many places
displayed a capacity for descriptive
and impressionistic writing. Two of
the songs, Dream and Tribute
have been published by Schirmer
and are numbers worthy Of any
ones repertory."
Many Ell Centrans will be inter
eSted in Morrison's career as he
attended high school in this city.
Prof. Elmer Todd of the Academy
of Music was among those. interest

Claim Jumping
Story Is False

Roaring gang machine guns and
desert claim jumpers make a conf
bination queer enough for the imag-
ination of the widest western fic-
ton writer, but II. L. Lewis OF El
Centro was in dead earnest when
he told deputy sheriffs of it last
night.
Lewis was so much in earnest
that Jack Carter. Harold Gillett and
Fred Elliott bundled themselves and
their side-arm artillery into an au-
tomobile. in spite of the fact 1t was
after working hours and sent the
car roaring into the desert east OF
Holtville and near the Highline ca
nal. where Lewis said his desert land
claim was.
Lewis said he had claim on the
desert, neighbored by couple OF
hard characters who had fortified
their own claim with machine guns,
warning Lewis to stay off. Lewis in
turn had procured himself a
Thompson machine gun, he said,
and was all ready for the war.
But when officers neared the place
Lewis described they found no road
leading TO it, and no evidences Of
any kind of armament. A careful
search of the greasewood and sand

Walker Hoping
To Aid Mooney
Continued From Page II


James R. Cromwell, stepson o.
E. T. Stitesbury. senior partner Of
j. P. Morgan g. Co.
Exact plans for the hearing will
be decided at a conference Wednes-
day between the governor. Mayor
Walker and the attorneys.
Important things to be decided
then include whether the hearing
is to be open to the public, where
it will be held and whether one ses-
sion will be held at San quentin so
that Mooney may appear per-
sonally.
Mooney may not be taken to a
hearing outside the prison under a
precedent established when the
state supreme court moved TO Fol-
som penitentiary in 1890 to hear
personally from Warren K. Billings,
convicted of having been MONEYS
accomplice in the bombing which
caused 10 deaths and injured 40.
After that hearing the state su-
preme court refused to recommend
a pardon for Billings and Governor
c. c. Young, who was considering
a pardon petition for Mooney, held
that the cases were identical and
refused a pardon for Mooney.
Billings Stepped
The hearing prompted by Mayor
Walker will concern only Mooney,
Billings having withdrawn since his
case is complicated by the fact that
he is a two time" loser and under
state law two time losers may be
pardoned only upon recommended
ton of the supreme court.
Moneys relatives and friends
have profeSsed to have no knowl-
edge of the new angle" promised
by the New York mayor, but they
expressed great hope that the mayor
might finally bring freedom to the
man who has been imprisoned for
IS years.
Most cheered was Moneys
85-year-old mother, Mrs. Mary
(Mother) Mooney, who has fought
increasingly for her son since he
first was arrested and charged with
the crime. E
God bless Mayor Walker for
coming to my sons aid" she said
tearfully this morning. Il hope I
won't be disappointed. 1t would be
the greatest gift a person ever got
if only I could have my son home
on Christmas"
Although various other incentives
have been rumored, Mayor Walker
has insisted that it was a pleading
letter from MONEYS mother that
led him to undertake the mission Of
freeing Mooney.
He denied that there is any po-
litical significance in his journey to
the coast or that it has anything TO
do with the present investigation Of
his administration in New York
The Mooney and Billings cases
have been consistently in the lime
light here since July %, 1916, when
a suitcase of dynamite was ex-
ploded among spectators watching
the Preparedness day parade.
Mooney and Billings, both known
agitators. were arrested and Mooney
was convicted Of first degree mur-
DIR and sentenced to be hanged,
while Billings was convicted Of sec
ond degree murder and ordered to
Folsom for a life term as two
timer.
Governor Stephens commuted
Moneys sentence to life imprison-
ment in 1918 after such a course
was recommended by President
Wilson.
Mooney and Billings and their
adherents have claimed they we're
convicted on framed evidence.

and friends, but Mrs. Hill contested
this when she opposed the petition
of the public administrator for let
ters of administration in the estate.
BY law the entire estate may be
assigned to the widow If 1t does not
exceed $500. This was found to be
the case after a hearing in probate
court.
