 to Have Had Aid

Los Angeles, Nov 12- (U.P) = Upton Sinclair harbors no Ill will against President Roosevelt for de. serting him in his unsuccessful campaign for governor, the epic leader said to-day in a copyright ed interview appearing in the H. frustrated Daily News.

 He left the republican reaction aries high and dry. That was more important than endorsing me for governor of California.
 Sinclair predicted that California poverty will increase within the next three months, whereupon:
 "Those people educated by this campaign will rise, and through initiative, referendum and recall end poverty in California"
 Sinclair, who is now working on a book to be entitled. T Governor of California, and How I Got Lick ed" said he couldn't stop the epic movement, which he fostered. if he desired.
 "The production-for-use idea has taken hold, and 1t will event. ually be successful" he prophe- sled.

FORMER SENATOR I. E. M'CRATH

Local Attorney Said to Be Slated for Position on
 Liquor Board

Governor Wilbur L. Cross will appoint democrat to the state liquor control commission next July when the term of former Lieutenant-Governor M. Spencer, republican expires and the apointee is to be ex-Senator Thomas F. MeGrath of this city, according to reliable reports. The appointment however, hinges on the makeup Of the new liquor control act certain to be passed by the 1895 session of the legislature and whether or not, under the new orded of things, the commission is left in existence or wiped out.
 Reports are to the effect. how ever, that while the liquor law will be liberated, the governor will in- sist on maintaining the present central control commission rather than have the handling of licenses go back to the old order, to be dis posed by the county commissioners.

THOS J. MOONEY
 WILL GO BEFORE
 SUPREME COURT
Famous Prisoner Will Get Last Chance to Prove
 His Innocence

Washington, Nov 12-(U.P3- Thomas J. Mooney to-day was promised consid eration of the su- preme court in his fight for free dom from San Quentin Peniten- tiary where he has ben imprisoned since 1916 after being found guil- ty on charges of murder in connec- tion with the preparedness day massacre.
 The court acted on a plea of at- torneys representing the labor leader to be allowed to file peti- tion for writ of habeas corpus.
 The court, while not granting this plea outright, directed the warden of San Quentin through his legal representative to show cause with 40 days why Moon ey's lawyers should not be al- lowed to file the writ.
 The effect of the order is to bring the Mooney case before the court at least in it's technical phases for the first time since 1918.
 The action restores an element of hope to the case which has been in the public mind since its incep- ton. The last hope to be defeated wa S when Upton Sinclair failed in his attempt to be elected governor of California. Sinclair had prom ised to pardon Mooney.
 Permission to file the habeas corpus petition was asked October 22 by Frank P. Walsh, noted labor attorney of New York City, John H. Finnery, Washington. and George T. Davis, San Francisco.

Police And Firemen Are Much Excited
City Boards Will Meet Wednesday and There Are More Rumors About Changes to Be Made
 Than There Are Offices Affected

If all the speculation in police and fire department circlese were laid end to end these days, it would reach from here to some where, for at present there's no more interesting and sustained subject of conversation and won der than the meeting -4of-the -po- lice and fire boards Wednesday afternoon. It'll be the first meeting of the two boards since election, and gossip has it that the long deferred action on vacancies in high posts in both departments may be taken at the sessions.
 The fire department has been without a chief since the death of the late Henry H. Heitman, and has only one deputy chief, Thomas G. Lynch, who is acting head of the department. Appointment of a chief and deputies would make necessary advancement all along the line. In the police department same; the post of deputy superin- tendent. occupied by the late Ed ward J. Mullings. is open. and ap- pOlntmenL' 10 that position Will mean promotions of at least sev- eral other members of the depart ment.
 Fire Chief Comes First
 Though the police vacancy has existed longer, the dope" has it that the first post filled by either board is that of chief of the fire department. The board. according to this line of reasoning, will at least name a chief for the fire de- partment even if it ignores the other vacant ranking spots in the department.
 First choice in the pre-appoint- ment gossip for fire department chief is Deputy Thomas G. Lynch,
