DELAY IN TRIAL
D|SAPPO|NTS
DEFENDANT
Proceedings Will Be Upset If
Case Is Brought Before
Supreme Tribunal

SAN FRANCISCO, April 27
O.N.SD.-Thomas j. Mooney will
have his day in court.
At least that was the prospect
today-barring action before the
State Supreme Court by John
O'Gara or some other enterpris'
ing citizen and taxpayer
Superior Judge Louis H. Ward,
in setting the resumption of
MONEYS trial for murder for
May %, said he would allow
Mooney to leave his San quentin
prison cell and come to court here
and testify in his own behalf un-
less the prosecution can show
some good reason why he should
not do so.
State Plans No Change
Apparently the State will not
attempt to prevent Mooney from
testifying, although seeing no ne
cessity for it. Deputy District At
torney William w. Murphy said:
eve plan no changes in our
case. We made a thorough study
of the statutes before coming to
our decision. We will come back
into court as we were yeSter-
day."
Murphy told Judge Ward
yesterday, before the court con
tinued the case because of demon
strations, that he would rest the
peoples case without evidence or
testimony.
It was learned. however, that
he proposed to ask the judge to
advise the jury to bring in a
verdict of not guilty.
In the meantime, Mooney, in
San Quentin, took issue with the
delay in his case. He said:
ut is just another move to
keep me from obtaining justice
probably inspired by the
same interests that put me here
in the first place."
IncenSed at O'Gara
He was particularly ired at
O'Gara, a former deputy district
attorney. He said:
''I'd like to show who is be-
hind him."
O'Gara has stated that he will
take every legal action possible
to keep the trial from continuing
taking the stand that there IS
nothing new to be adjudicated--
that the present hearing is a
waste of time and money.
He has theatened to file a
petition for a writ of mandate
with the State supreme court to
prevent Judge Ward from hold
ing the trial.
And the judge. in effect, has
told him to go ahead by declar-
Ing from the bench:
ut would be a relief to me
If any citizen would take the
problems of this novel case to
the high court"
Frank P. Walsh, of New York,
head of MONEYS battery of at
torneys, and John F.. Finnerty,
Of Washington, D. c., were en-
route to their offices, but had
left statements of regret over the
riotouS demonstrations that
caused Judge Ward to continue
the case.

Cod Kidnapped,
Harvard Men
Suspected

BOSTON, April 81 G.N.S).
The sacred cod, symbol of the
Bay State since 1795, or there
abouts, remained missing from
the portals of the capitol today,
while legislators and police cast
suspicious eyes across the
Charles River at Harvard.
Rumors were circulated that
the cod would be returned to-
day by mail to Gov. Joseph B.
Ely, Mayor James M. Curl<y, or
some other public official.
The "kidnaping of the cod"
took place last night. 1t was
stolen from it's place of honor
in the chamber of the house
of representatives, where for 80
years it had hung suspended on
two wires, directly opposite the
speakers stand. An anonymous
telephone call led to the dis
covery by guards.

stake.
The Cabarrus Trust Company,
one of the guardians of the child,
is seeking to have the court set
aside a $5OO,OOO settlement made
by Reynolds when divorced by
his first wife, Anne Cannon,
daughter of the wealthy towel
manufacturer.
Before the guardians can enter
suit for any part of young Rey-
nolds' share of the $1O0,O00,O00
tobacco fortune, estimated at $780,
100000, the original settlement,
made with the understanding
that all claims to the estate
would be waived, must be swept
aside.
Mrs. Joseph Cannon, grand
mother and co-guardian of the
child, is opposing the trust COM
pany's effort to force her to join
in the petition.
The grandmother, in her an
swer to the trust company suit,
asserted it was to the best in
terest of the child to accept q
settlement offered by the Rey-
nolds family which would give
Anne an additional $1,500,000.

In a speech last night before the

criticism where such action seems de-

needs under the recovery program.
Citing achievements of the argricul-

is conservatively estimated" that the
farmers of the country this year will
receive "at least two billion dollars in
excess of their five-billion dollar income
of 1882"

as very wise, indeed the action of

said there was never reason why rec

noted particularly the absence of loafers
on the streets in MOscow-declared the
Soviet Union offers large field for re-
ciprocal trade-''just the kind of trade
we ought to have.
Like many another observer of inter-
national relations. Senator McAdoo
pointed out that the interests of Russia
and the United States "do not collide
anywhere"
He was accompanied by Mrs. Nc
Adoo.
II wanted to go along with my hus-
band to Moscow said the daughter OF
Woodrow Wilson, but our daughter is
in school in Paris and I wanted to
spend all the time I could with her"

that because the Government runs

As long as the Japanese army was
involved in military operations In Man

Now that these operations have been
successfully completed, and there is not

Russians that section Of Siberia.
Troops Near Siberia.
Japanese troops have been concen-
treting lately in the vicinity of Sibel ia
in larger numbers than the fighting
OF brigands' would justify.

to discuss with the Soviet ruler the
possibility Of extending diplomatic
recognition which will be followed by a

Toxic, like the rest of the world
fully expected that the President would
eventually recognize Russia. But. since
that did not happen during the first
weeks Of his administration, it was be-
lieved that on account Of the serious
problems which Mr. Roosevelt Is facing
now. he would delay such an action
until some time next year,
BY this time however, the japanese
war Office would have done all that is
necessary to secure the maritime prov
inces
The sudden action Of the President
caught the japanese unawares and AM
bassador Debuchi paid with his Job
for the failure of informing Toxic OF
what the Washington administration
has been planning
Not that the japanese government
believes for a moment that the United
States would participate in any way
in the eventual defense Of the Russian
possessions in Siberia. But. if the dip
lomatic relations between the two coun-
tries are renewed, the Russians will be
able to trade in the United States and
possibly purchase the necessary ma
terials for defense.
