WALKER LEAVES
MONEYS FATE
WITH GOVERNOR
All We Can Do Is Hope,
Jimmy'S Parting Words to
Convict'S Mother.
BY GEORGE Fl. BEALE
United Press stan Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. g.
Mayor Walker Of New York speeded
southwark to Santa Barbara on the
first lap of his homeward journey
today, leaving behind a white
haired convict for whom he crossed
the continent to plead a pardon.
III and worn by the strain Of a
weeks activities and the dramatic
appeal he made to Governor Rolph
Of California on behalf Of Tom
Mooney, the mayor will seek seclu-
sion for forty-eight hours before
continuing to New York.
The mother whose plea brought
Mayor Walker to San Francisco as
chief counsel Of the Mooney pardon
forces, Mrs. Mary A. Mooney, was
one of the last persons he visited
before his private car left for the
south.
ROlph Busy With Evidence
She kissed the mayor as he en-
;ered the half-ighted parlor. He
spoke encouragingly of Moneys
chances for freedom.
"All We can do now, mother, is
to hope" Mayor Walker told her
She tried hard to keep back the
tears as they parted. The mayor
hurried to his car and was gone.
In the Capitol at Sacramento, Gov
ernor Rolph busted himself with the
pleas and evidence presented at the
hearing by Mayor Walker and
Frank P. Walsh and Aaron Sapiro,
other counsel for the convicted
bomber.
The farewell Of the two leading
figures at the hearing was in
marked contrast to Walkers visit
with Mother Mooney. 1t was your
honor" and your excellency," when
Attorney Walker urged with all the
sincerity at his command that
Mooney be pardoned. But they met
late Wednesday as two old friends.
Mooney in Good Spirits
"Well, goodby, JIM" the mayor
said as he shook hands in the state
building here.
us there anything more I can do
for you, Jimmie?" asked the Gov
ernor.
you've already done more than
any one else" Mayor Walker as
sured him.
He was met at the station by
State Senator John Tasting, New
York, member of his party, and At
torney Walsh, who just had visited
Mooney in San Quentin. They re-
ported the famous convict in excel
lent spirits.

Still Believes in Guilt

81 United Press
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3-"Un-
fortunate wording" of letter he
had written in San Francisco led to
misconstruction of his meaning,
Charles M. Fickert, who as district
attorney prosecuted Thomas Moo
ney, said today.
He said he still believed Mooney
guilty of participation in the 1916
Preparedness day bombing.
Fickert, quoted as favoring Glenn
ency for Mooney. denied expressing
such a sentiment.
Il did not mean that" he de-
clared. Il always have believed
Mooney was guilty."

fering from any diarrhael disease;
protection against flies; clothing
adapted to the temperature; and in
telligent care.
"The three F's-fies, fingers and
food-are three sources of danger to
the baby. Flies carry disease germs
to the baby and to its food. Fingers
and hands that are not thoroughly
washed before preparing baby's food
are likely to be germ carriers, also.
Milk or other food that is intended for
the baby should be carefully covered
and kept in a cool place until used.
every special care should be taken
of the milk that is given to babies and
young children. All milk intended for
them should be boiled for three min
utes and then cooled to the right tenn
perature before using"

FLIES, FINGERS, FOOD ARE
ALL DANGEROUS TO BABIES
City Babies Have less Intestinal
Disorders than Country Babies

Country babies are supposed to
have many advantages that city ba-
bies lack, but when it comes to certain
seasonal diseases, such as diarrhea,
dysentary, and other intestinal dis
eases in the summer and pneumonia
in the winter, city babies seem to have
an advantage over the country babies,
as comparison of the records of the
State Department of Health for Bal
timore City with those Of the coun-
ties, will indicate. The records of the
Bureau of the Census show that the
same thing is true in other parts Of
the country.
Last year 1885 babies under year
old, died in the counties of Maryland,
and of that total BAL were due to diar-
rheal diseases, that is, one out of
every four was charged on the death
certificate to "diarrhea" or "dysen-
terry" or to one of the other diseases
of that class. In Baltimore City where
there were 981 deaths of babies under
year old, 120 were due to diarrheal
diseases-or one out of every eight.
Because of the prevalence of diar-
rheal and digestive diseases at this
time of the year, babies need special
protection against them. Outlining
some of the ways by which babies can
be safeguarded against such diseases,
DR.. J. H. M. Knox, Jr., Chief of the
State Bureau of Child Hygiene, said:
means that have proved effective in
the prevention of digestive and diar-
rhael diseases among babies are:
Regular supervision of the baby
while it is well, by the family doctor;
mothers milk; clean cows milk mod
flied according to the needs of the in
dividual child for the babies who have
to be bottle-fed; unsweetened con-
densed milk, or evaporated milk, if
cows milk is not available; cooled
boiled water to drink; careful pro
lection from contact with persons suf-

Advice to the
LoveIorn
BY Beatrice Fairfax

Too Much Difference Here
Dear Miss Fairfax:
My wife died last January.
leaving me with five children
who need a mothers care as
much as I need a good house
keeper. My older daughter,
aged 16, had a school friend
visit her the past summer.
This girl seems to be sweet and
maternal, and very capable
around the house. I was
strongly tempted to ask her to
marry me, but was held back
by the difference in our ages.
She is not quite 18, and I am
SO. Do you think a girl Of Ii
would make a good wife to q
man Of my age? j. D. 3.
She might make a very good
wife, indeed, and an excellent
stepmother, but I think it would
be cruel to take advantage OF q
girl OF her tender years and
present her with a ready-made
family Of five children and the
responsibilities of a difficult
household. She would probably
be a nervous wreck by the time
she was 20, and again you
might find yourself a widower
with even a more extended fam.
lily. Don't you think it would
be well for you to look about
and marry a woman Of more
suitable age? In the long run,
you, perhaps, would find her
more congenial than a girl in
her first youth who has not
had her playtime yet. and who
would be likely to break under
such responsibilities as your fam.
lily would entail.
