35 DRUGGISTS
TOFACE TRIAL

Prosecution of 35 Washington
druggists for inaccuracy in filling
prescriptions in violation of the
Federal Food and Drugs law is
being planned today by officials
Of the Department of Agriculture.
According to w. G. Campbell,
director of regulatory work in
the department, appalling mac
curacies were found in the filling
of 81 out of 100 prescriptions sub
mitted by agents to 100 represen-
tative drugStoreS.
Hearings have been given be-
fore officials of the department
and 35 cases, at least, will go to
the solicitors office.
A maximum fine of $500 or one
year in Jail is the penalty for
first offenders.
In one case, Government chem
lists, said the prescription showed
a 80 per cent shortage Of an &C.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Jan.
9 G.N.SO hitherto undis-
closed report of the Wickersham
Commission on the Money bomb
ing case today was both praised
and assailed in the town that has
been the scene of the entire
drama.
Tom Mooney, serving a life
sentence in San Quentin prison,
declared that a full investigation
of the facts as revealed by the
commission would result in his
vindication.
At Folsom prison, Warren K.
Billings, MONEYS co-defendant,
grinned when he heard that the
Commission had vigorously flayed
fragrant violations" of California
law, and said it was good news
to him to hear that there are
a few people not directly con-
nected with the defense who are
honest enough to admit the de-
plorable manner in which the
prosecution of the Mooney case
has been conducted
Charles M. Fickert, prosecutor
of Mooney and Billings, said:
'It'S old stuff-the same
hash that was presented and
completely discredited when the
supreme court ruled against a
pardon for Billings"

The margin of victory is not
great, measured in points, but
when a complete analysis is
made of the hands, including
honor tricks and distribution, the
wonder will not be that we won

we won at all.
It was and is, I think, a great
victory for the approach-forcing

the expert to convey the finest

Bristol urged immediate enact

Long split into snarling fac
tions over prohibition, the
Democrats seemed in a fair
way today to achieve at least
D semblance of harmony on
this controversial issue, which
has dogged them through 1C
weary years.
Harmony Plans Cheered
Many other issues we're dwelt
upon by Alfred E. Smith, John
w. Davis, and James M. Cox in
their speeches last night at the
jackson Day jubilee dinner. But
in a mixed audience of vets and
drys it was prohibition and the
necessity for Democrats getting
together on it that never failed
Of vociferous applause-and from
both sides.
cal" dealt with the thorny issue
in his enthusiastically luSty
fashion. He shouted:
"What about prohibition?
The United States is spending
annually S1OO,OOO,OOO in a sense
less, useless, and fruitleSs at
tempt to enforce it. Do / say
it? No. That comes from the
Wickersham Commission. And
think of the billion dollars in
revenue that we are kicking
away in taxation"
Davis Heard Also
Davis dwelt upon it from the
standpoint of local self-govern
ment, but it remained for former
Governor Cox to bring the diners
to their feet with an emo+ionoa
appeal to the South to recognize
and appreciate the viewpoint ot
the Northern vets. He recalled
the sacrifices Northern Democrat!
made in supporting the South in
the difficult reconstruction days
Southern Democrats owe Northern
Democrats some gratitude for
that, he said. and then with
great seriousness:
MAY we not, now, respect
fully ask that you call your
political eccIesiastics back to
their pulpits that truth may go

Senate May Be Asked to Take
Official Action Following
WiCkerSham Report

A tremendous demand for
immediate pardoning Of Thomas
J. Mooney and for vindication
of Warren K. Billings, con-
victed in the San Francisco
bomb outrage, rose IN the
Senate today as an aftermath
to publication of the Wicker
sham Commissions sensational
report on the case.
The Senate may be asked to
take some official action on
MONEYS pardon appeal. If so
drastic a move is not undertaken,
individual Senators at least will
urge Governor Rolph, Of Califor-
mia, to pardon Mooney and re-
store him to citizenship.
Framed" Says Report
The commissions report, sup
pressed for months because its
members felt they had no author
ity to investigate the case, was
made public through the Depart
ment of Justice on demand from
the Senate.
It revealed that three expert
investigators reported to the COM
mission that Mooney and Billings
had been literally framed" by
perjured testimony and were inno-
cent of the bombing outrage.
AS result of the report, the
conviction of Mooney and Billings
was condemned by Senators Walsh
CD of Montana, Costigan CD of
Colorado, Wagner CD of New
York, Cutting (R0 of New Mexico,
and Wheeler CD of Montana.
Wheeler's View
Their views were exemplified by
Wheeler in these words:
''This appears to be an out.
rageOuS miscarriage Of justice.
The least that can be done is
for the governor of California
to pardon Mooney Immediately.
I have always believed the great
mass of the testimony was per-
jured and this report proves
that to be true"
