,McDOnald's testimony, Mooney
would have been acquitted"
In the following summer, Gov
ernor Young stated publicly he
intended to spend his entire va
cation reading the Mooney brief
that Richardson had so kindly
bequeathed to him.
He kept his word, and studied
the evidence with great care.
Word came to me from three
sources that he intended to par
don the men.
Senator johnson Talks
Senator Hiram johnson was
one of the sources. The Senator
said to me one day:
"YOur troubles will sOGn be
over. / saw the governor yes
terday and he told me he was
going to pardon Mooney and
Billings"
John Francis Neylan, who had
been an invaluable aid to Young
in his election, told me the same
thing, so did DR.. John Haynes,
prominent Los Angeles progres
Sive.
I was convinced our fight was
won. At a Mooney mass meeting
in Los Angeles two years ago last
August, I made a speech in
which I said:
II have some good news for
you. Governor Young has done
many fine things for California,
and am assured he is going
to do a still finer thing for the
State. He is going to pardon
Mooney and Billings"
Sometime later Governor Young
who had a friend present at the
meeting, thanked me for my kind
words.
And he didn't say had gone
too far in my statement.

RAIDERS STEAL
$50 CHICKENS

LORTON, Va, Nov. 25.-In the
sixth raid staged here in less than
two weeks, chicken thieves stole
80 young hens from Mrs. E. ].
Dwire, wife of a Lorton Reforma-
tory foreman, last night.
A few nights ago ]. Kuelin's
chicken houses were invaded and
200 fowls stolen. They were the
mans principal support. Others
who have been victimized include
E. L. Thompson and E. R. PlaS-
kett, the latter losing so.
Mrs. Dwire's flock of young
birds had been painstakingly
raised for the Thanksgiving mar
ket. The thieves evidently backed
truck to the chicken house, broke
the lock, and stuffed the birds
into bags.

Comic Stamp Collection
Becomes Great Sport

A great new sport for chill
dren is sweeping the country this
fall-the collection Of colorf'1l
comic stamps cut from the comic
section which is a parC o. v.l.
big Sunday edition of The Wash.
ington Herald.
Credit for this idea must go
to the ingenious and clever comic
cartoonist, Jimmy Murphy, whose
''TootS and Casper" funnies have
been entertaining millions of per
sons daily and Sunday for years.
Recalls His BOyhOod
Murphy originated the comic
stamps when he. recalled his own
desire for collecting things as
a boy. In those days many
manufacturing mpanies in
cluded colorful Autographs of
famous people, flags and animals
in their packages. 1t was every
boys ambition to obtain collec-
tions of these pictures, and many
a skillful trader Of later life OBJ
tained his first experience in the
brisk bartering for rare and
cherished specimens. Says Muir
ply:
"Times seem to have changed
in business. Advertising men
rightly regard newspapers as
better mediums for attracting
buyers for their merchandise.
So package goods do not con-
tain pictures to collect any
more.
"The comic stamp appealed
to me as substitute, afford
ing the modern boy and girl
a change to have as much
fun as / did in making my
collections.
To Interest Parents
81 think these stamps, which
are every bit as cOIorfuI as
the pictures of my bOyhOOd,
will interest the parents, too,
because they will awaken men,
OrieS long dormant.
"The series will include many
famous characters who no long
er lend their gaiety to the
comic pages-BuSter Brown,
The Yellow Kid, Memo and
dozens of others. The young

DiscOrd Reported
There is said to be a great dea
of discord among the Is members
OF the department. They are sale
to be divided into three factions

favoring a dark horse" being
groomed by what is known IS thu

will do the same thing this yea
by overthrowing Ware.
Walter w. Dudley, present chic
of the department. is considered
a factor in the nominations fol
chief Leo Moffett is an active
candidate for that position.

The question of turning the de
partment over to the town to make
it paying department will come
up, but there appears to be little
chance it will be affirmed.

yOUNGS DEFEAT LAID TO MOONEY CASE

BALD testified frankly that he had
lied in his original testimony,
refused to recommend a pardon
for Billings.
Notwithstanding MacDonald's
complete reputation of his for
mer testimony, the Supreme
Court decided to believe his testi-
mony, given when he hoped to
receive the bulk of $4,000, the
reward the State had offered.
The court ignored the Oxman
perjury, but stood by the tramp
waiter, Macdonald.
The governor denied the par
don application of Mooney and
went down to defeat in the elec-
tion. He blamed the Mooney
case.

.RASk0B LIQUOR
SH|F .STUNS
DRY SOUTH
Leaders Surprised When Chair
man Asks Only Referen-
dunn on Dry Law

Southern Drys who have
always accused John j. Raskob
of Matching deep, dark plots
to submerge the Democratic
Party in a sea of liquor rubbed
their eyes in some astonish-
ment today over his latest
contribution to the prohibition
storm that is rocking the
country.
The much-harrassed national
chairman disclosed that he does
not favor the party taking either
the wet or the dry side" Of pro-
hibition in its platform next year
he only favors the commitment,
of Democratic members of Con-
gress to vote for re-submission of
the prohibition problem to the
people for re-determination.
BOgey Man Of Drys
Chairman Raskob has been the
bogey man of the Southern drys
ever since he was named to
manage the Smith campaign.
They have expected him to fight
for wringing wet plank.
Therefore, it was with some
surprise today that they read the
following in a letter from Chair
man Raskob to the New York
Times:
II strongly feel the party
should take neither the wet nor
the dry side of this highly con.
trOverSial question, but its plat
form should commit Democratic
members Of Congress to vote in
favor of some resolution which
will give the people themselves
opportunity to vote on the queS-
ton as to whether they wish
the Eighteenth Amendment re-
tanned, repealed or modified"
Lines Up With Legion
This position alignS Chairman
Raskob squarely with the position
taken by such influential organi-
cations as the American Legion,
the American Bar Association, the
American Federation of Labor,
and the American Medical Asso-
ciation.
The Washington times., 1931-11-25

Before the governors campaign
opened the following summer, he
asked me. to have Billings petit
ton the supreme court for a par
don recommendation. Being a
second termer, the law compelled
Billings to be recommended by
the supreme court.
When the governor asked me to
SEE that the Billings petition was
filed, he added:
"YOu know, If one is guilty,
they both are. And if one is
innocent, they both are. they
must stand or fall together"
The Governor had, by this
move, protected himself by the
supreme court.
Up to the Court
If that tribunal turned down
Billings the Governor would re-
fuse to pardon Mooney.

long hearing, in which MacDon-

The collection of comic stamps
is made simple through Jimmy
Murphy's pain to run them in the
weekly comic section. The same
medium that entertains the whole
family will provide the children
with the material for their al
buns. All that is needed is
scissors and pastepot and the
comic section of The Washington
Herald.
An Aid in Education
Educators have recognized the
value of making collections in de-
veloping the orderly habits in
children. Every adult should en-
courage the children they know
to assemble a complete collection
of these stamps. They will be
found only in the Sunday Herald.

OUTPUT 0F GOLD IS LARGER AS DEMAND
 SHOWS NEW GROWTH

Increase in gold holdings of the United States and France during the first four months of 1881 was more than twice the amount of new gold made available through out the world for monetary uses ln that period, says the Denver Mining Record.
 This movement took place de- spite the fact that gold output lis currently at the highest annual rate since the war and despite refforts by central banks to check the metal flow into vaults where already more than 50 per cent of the worlds m monetary gold is stored.
 New gold mined during April aggregated approximately 1874 ,225 fine ounces, compared with 1,642.- l88 in April, 1880, and with 1.643,- 498 in April, 1929. Four months output was thus brought to 6.758,- 000 fine ounces compared with G. 567,148 in the same period of 1880 and with 6,516,759 in 1929. With an ounce of fine gold worth $2O.67. the value of the gold mined dur ing this period is $139, 9,69O,OOO con- pared with $135, ,743,00o in 1880 and with $134,70 ,OOO in 1929

DEVICE ID STABILIZE
 SHIPS IS DEVELOPED

A speed and anti-rolling device which is calculated to render a vessel much Steadier in rough waters than is usually the case lis reported to have been invented by an English shipbuilding expert, according to report from Consul w. F. Doty at Newcastle-on- the Tyne.
 This invention has been subject
 ed to practical tests, having been
 to sea on five ships-chiefly coast ing vessels up to 1,500 tons dead
 weight. The latest trials at sea have been on the m. V. Lido" a
 small oil tanker owned by the Union Lighterage Co. of London,
 and the captain reports that on a trip from the Thames to Antwerp and back the result of fitting the
 device was found to be better steering, more speed, reduced pitching, and better running of the engines The trip was made in 12 hours instead of the usual 14 hours and the crew of the ves- sel expressed the opinion that the journey had been more comfort able than is ordinarily the case.
 The device is particularly suit able for trawlers and drifters and has aroused considerable interest
 on the part of the leading tug owners in London, according to British reports.
