PARDON DENIED MAN CONVICTED,
 BOMB OUTRAGE
Governor James Rolph, IT,, of California, Makes
 Decision
NO CLEMENCY TO BE
 GRANTED TOM MOONEY
Arguments Pres ented by Mayor W al k CT, and
 Others, of No Avail

SACRAMENTO, Cal, April 22.- Gov. James Rolph, Jr., has refus- Cd to pardon Tom Mooney.
 Gov. Rolph said he had heard Mayor James J. Walker and oth- CTS with an open mind but the facts presented to him and to Judge Matt Sullivan, the Cover nor's legal advisor, gave no grounds for clemency.
 With the background of bitter ness, militant controversy and powerful hatreds that have churn- ed through four guberantorial ad- ministrations, the Money Billings case came to a climax with the announcement made by Gov. Rolph, Jr.
 The decision was on freeing Tom Mooney of the charge of having taken part in the dynamic ing of the San Francisco Prepar- edness parade of July 22, 1916. And by touch of fate the de- cision was made by the man who rode at the head of that dem onstration, Gov Rolph, Jr.
 Mayor Rolph was Mayor of San Francisco at the time of the bomb ing which caused 10 deaths and maimed for life many of the 40 injured. He personally guaranteed s4.0o0 of the $l7000 offered for the arrest of the dynamiters.
 Plea Made By Walker
 Now Rolph is Governor of Cal ifornia, and it was to him that James J. Walker, Mayor of New York. Frank P. Walsh, chief of counsel for Mooney, and Aaron Sapiro addressed the newest plea for Moneys pardon.
 In submitting this application counsel said that this probably would be the last effort to free the man whom they regarded as sthe American Dreyfus."
 The attention of the nation was focused upon this latest eff for to free Mooney because of the intercession of Mayor Walker. The Fastener appeared in his pri- vate, professional capacity and pleaded for exoneration of his client as fighting a miscarriage ot justice that was of vital interest to justice loving people every where.
 Say Parole Not Wanted
 Counsel emphasized that Moon ey did not want a parole as ac- ceptance of it would carry an ln1- plication of acknowledgement of his guilt. Warren K. Billings, who is also serving life sentence as an accomplice in the dy1lamiting out rage. let it be known, however, that he would accept parole under certain conditions.
 This attitude of Billings eni- phasized the fact that at the Mooney nearing the latters de- fense for the first time took the position that the cases differed and that the proceedings were independent of any attempt to free Billings.
 This turn came despite the fact that as late as January, 1851, MOO rev wrote an open letter to Bh- 1inos in which he pledged that the Mooney Molders defense com noittee would continue in efforts for both alike and added;

HIT
IN HOUSE HEARING
Methods Used by Police Are
Condemned by Repre-
sentative Holiday.

Vigorous condemnation of the use of
the third degree in police work was
made by Representative Holiday Of Illi-
nois during recent hearings on the 1888
District budget before the House sub
committee on appropriations, tran
script of which was released yesterday
by Chairman Cannon.
Mr.. Holaday said he believed Brig,
Gen. Pelham D. GlaSsford, superintend-
ent of police. is attempting to break
up alleged third-degree practices in the
department. and expressed a hope that
he would continue his effort along that
line
Sees Law Breaking Encouraged.
Il am firmly convinced that in the
long run said Mr.. Holiday, there is
not anything that Goes mere to break
down the enforcement of the law than
the use of the so-called third degree.
Il know of one city in the West where
I think that has contributed very mate
rally to the unfortunate condition they
have. That was permitted. and got to
the place where the police went in and
by brutality secured confessions and
they were signed by the accused. and it
finally got to the place where the aver
age jury would not believe any of the
police force and it put a blot on the
whole force and put the prosecuting at
torney up against a proposition where
he had to prosecute his case without
permitting policemen on the stand, be-
cause the whole force was in such bad
repute the juries would not believe
them. I think that is a result every
place"
BlantOn Condemns Probe.
Representative Blanton of Texas took
advantage of the occasion to condemn
the police for their investigation of a
murder at the Chinese Educational Mis-
sion some years ago, which resulted in
conviction on a murder charge of Ziang
Sun Wan, who later won his freedom.
Did my colleague ever read the rec
ord on the third degree used on the
Chinese here?" asked Mr.. Blanton.
That was the start of breaking it up.
That was the most outrageous thing I
ever heard of. They kept going after
him for three days and nights. That
Chinese was first convicted and SEN
fenced to be hanged, but finally was
acquitted"
THE court in commenting on the
confession obtained" Mr. Holiday in
terposed, condemned the police, and
yet, as far as 1 know, no charges we're
made against those policemen at all
Yet the court in a direct finding found
they had used Strong-arm methods and
had committed perjury, and yet no
charge was filed against them. Now. a
thing like that occurring, you develop a
public opinion and you soon arrive at
the place where the average jury will

CALL TO ARMS
Big Four Of Party Sound
Plea for Unity in
Campaign.

By United Press
Inc Democratic party has mar
ehaled its forces for the 1882 presi-
dental campaign in nationwide
victory dinners; its leaders have
added new attacks on Republican
incapacity for leadership" but not
one self-announced candidate for
the presidential nomination was
added to the list.
Political developments during the
last few days had led some poll
ticians to believe that the candidacy
either of Alfred E. Smith, 1928
standard bearer, or Franklin d.
Roosevelt, who nominated Smith as
the happy warrior" would be an
nounced.
In New York, Governor Roose-
welt sounded the call to arms"
Thursday night with a plea for the
return of states rights, asking for
campaign free from prejudice and
deploring the present tendency ito
blame all our present troubles on
the President"
Adds Deeper Thrust
Roosevelt said the President
perhaps is the victim of theory
which holds that control of the
Republican party reins entities the
holders to use that historic party
for the purposes of personal gain"
Then he added a deeper thrust,
saying:
He and his associates perhaps
have shown incapacity to contribute
leadership in the solving of a
national crisis.
John w. Davis, standard bearer in
1924, told of the efforts made to
pledge $1,500,0OO needed for the
campaign.
In Boston, Alfred E. Smith gave
no hint as to whether he would
seek the nomination again. His adj
dress largely was reiteration and
elaboration Of points stressed in his
jackson day speech in Washing
ton, with a vigorous plea for a
clean-cut party platform.
He urged an honest, open dec
lsration" as to what the Democratic
party was going to do regarding
this prohibition law" and praised
the Raskob plan for submitting to
the people an amendment whereby
dissatisfied states could handle their
own liquor problems.
