MOONEY AGAIN.
STARTS FIGHT
FOR FREEDOM
Petition Based on Court
Decision of Scots
boro Case

A petition upon behalf of Tom
Mooney for writ of habeas cor
pus was filed today in the District
Court of the United States for TIE
Northern District of California.
Southern Division at San Fran
cisco. The counsel filing the pc
tition are Frank P. Walsh, New
York City, John F. Finerty, Wash
ingtor, D. c., and George T. Da-
Wis, San Francisco, Calf.
The petition is largely based
upon the language of the Supreme
Court of the United S ates in its
recent decision in the Scottsboro
case. The Court says on page 81
of the decision:
'The fact that the right involved
is of such character that it car
not be denied without violating
those Fundamental principles of
liberty and justice which lie at tho
tase Of all our civil and political
Institutions is obviously one of
those compelling considerations
which must prevail in determirirQ
whether it is embraced within the
| Que process clause of the -Four
tenth Amendment"
Based On this language the pc
tition proceeds to allege that the
State Of California has, since the
Mooney conviction, admitted that
his conviction was obtained by thu
use of perjuTed tes' imony and wa
unjustified. The petition furthe,
brings forth the proof of the per
jury and brings forth the state
mems of ten of the eleven surviv
ing jurors to the effect that i
these jurors, who convicted Moo
ney, would have known the evi
dence which the district attorne
suppressed, they would never hay
voted for conviction.
The petition consists of tw
separately bound documents. tn
first is entitled Petition for
Writ of Habeas Corpus on Beha
of Thomas ]. Mooney" and col
tains a statement in narratiN
form of the allegations of fact VI
on which the writ is based. Tn
document is no pages in lengt
The second document is entitle
"Lst of Exhibits Referred to
the Petition Of Thomas ]. Moont
for a Writ of Habeas Corpus
This document, which is appro1
mately 500 pages long, contain
50 different exhibits, including t
four famous "alibi" pictures, sho'
ing Tom Mooney and Mrs. Moon

J. A. HELLENTHAL FOR NATIONAL
 COMMITTEEMAN.

The recommendation of J. A. Hellenthal for National Committeeman for Alaska, succeeding James J. Connors, resigned made to National Chairman Farley by the Territorial Committee is one that will meet with enthusiastic acclaim by the rank and file of Democrats as well as the leaders of the party the Territory The approval expressed by MT Connors Gov. Troy and MT. Grigsby will be echoed by Democrats in all sections of Alaska. Prompt ratification of the Committed s choice by the National Committee is greatly to be desired since Territorial campaign is already being launched and election day is less than six weeks distant
 MT Hellenthal is not office seeker In his long and distinguished career in the Territory he has been content to the party a private in the ranks, giving advice when it sought. He is progressive minded citizen He is thoroughly grounded in the fundamentals of his party. He has a deep knowledge of its principles, understandf and endorses it's philosophy. He knows politics as~well as he knows people. He has proved his executive ability many occasions. He has demonstrated many many times his capacity for leadership. He is qualified in every way to succeed MT Connors whose services to the party during his tenure as Ma tional Committeeman, outstanding.
 MT. Connors's retirement is a matter of deep regret to those who have worked with him during his tenure He was probably the best organizer the party had in Alaska. In the parlance of the street, he was a bear for work" Vigorous, clear thinking. aggressive he paid the close attention to political campaigns that he gave to his private business It is not surprising that he was successful in both The party suffers a very real loss in his resignation There is however, a lot of fine consolation in the fact that MT. Helentha has been selected by the Territorial Com mittee to step into his shoes. AS Gov. Troy has said: "The Committee could not have done better. '

Recurrent droughts in breeding areas have cut down the supply of birds. Everything has combined to menace the stock
 In Alaska the conditions are altogether different Hunting here is of a food proposition than sporting. This is frontier country and the corner market is nonexistent to large proportion of the population. It depends upon local game animals and birds for it's fresh meat supply all pioneers have done without molestation since the earliest days of the Nation. That makes for conserva- tion if market hunting is barred as it is here, since those who depend upon game for their food will be the last to wantonly destroy it. We have had no droughts Breeding areas are untouched by the hand of civilization and remain in their primitive state. Birds instead of decreasing an nually, increasing. The southward flight does not into contact with the east of the Rockies where the decline of the flocks has been noted. It is strictly Pacific Coast flight. None of the conditions call for restricted hunting sea- son. Some day maybe the conservatonists will take them into account when they fix the regula- tions
 This year it was not done With the remainder of the country we can hunt 30 days The period during which the open can be declared is from September to December Is. It does not have to be consecutive 30 days, but can be split SO long the aggregate between the dates fixed does not exceed 30 Thus three-day open period might be put into effect in Southeast Alaska, beginning September 1 and run for ten weeks This is a distinct improvement the old system under which the season must on consecutiev days
 The Chamber of Commerce has asked that the Alaska Game Commission which administers and controls the game animals and birds of Alaska, be empowered to fix the It is equipped with local knowledge needed to make an intelligent se- lection It is charged with enforcement of the regu- lations. It is the logical agency to decide what regulations are necessary and can be enforced. The recommendation of the Chamber ought to be approved

CARING FOR ITS PIONEERS.

Both Gov. Troy and Attorney General Trultt did well in placing emphasis on the care which the Territory has bestowed its pioneers since IL was first organized 21 years ago. The new Home now being erected at Sitka for them is but one phase of the Territorial program. Allowances or pensions, are paid monthly to hundreds of men ana women by the Territory For this purpose hundreds of thousands of dollars have been appropriated By this means many who came to Alaska when devel- opment was first launched are kept from want ana suffering This entire system is now under legal attack A case pending before the Feoerai District Court in this Division if it is successful will wipe it all out. It is not for any newspaper to say whether the laws under fire are or are not constitutional The court is charged with that re- sponsiblity and, of course. will rule fairly and impartially. It would be great pity, however, II the system is destroyed. It has functioned satls- factory and with little cost for administrative overhead All of the money has gone to those TOT whom it was set aside by the several Legislatures Of course some other method could be devised but
 it could not hope to function more effectively if as well as the present ore does

PENALIZING FRONTIERSMEN.

The precedent set by the Hoover Administration in including Alaska in the curtailment of the migratory bird season is being followed religiousy by the Roosevelt Administration. If the rest of the country must be restricted to 60 or 30 days hunting Alaska must be included Theoretically of course this policy is sound. Practically in view of local conditions, it is nonessential
 In continental United States today, the hunting of wild fowl is purely and simply a sporting proposition. Each year sees it expanding Better roads and automobiles and confined hunting areas means more hunters and fewer birds.

NRA HEAD TO

Johnson Starts Farewell
Tour as EvangeI of Re-

By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, July 11.-General
Hugh S Johnson expects tomorrow
to begin his farewell tour as evangel
of recovery.
His trip will last a month and
extend to the Pacific coast. Then
Johnson will return to Washington
ready to give the recovery toga to
an administration board and to for
get the headache that the New Deal
brought him. He will come back,
ready to return to private life.
The general has recommended to
Mr.. Roosevelt that he be relieved of
administering the national recov-
cry administration and that his du-
ties be transferred to a nonpartisan
board Of experts.
The President will return to
Washington next month about the
time the general does and then will
make up his mind. The only thing
worrying Johnson is the probability
that he will be made member of
the proposed NRA board.
I'll stay just as long as the Presi-
dent thinks he needs me-" he
sighed, but I have definitely rec
commended that this is not a one
man job when NRA passes from the
organization to the administrative
era"

Fred Wiecking Is Named
as Successor to MintOn
in Public Service Post
By-Drink Rule Author Will
Also Retain Job as
LutZ Aid.

Appointment of Fred A. Wiecking,
assistant encouragement, author
of the much discussed blythe drink
memorandum, as public counsellor
before the public service commits
sion, was announced today by Gov
ernor Paul V. McNutt.
Mr.. Wiecking succeeds Sherman
Minton, who resigned to press his
campaign as Democratic candidate
for United States senator. He will
retain his duties as assistant attor-
ney-general, but will be paid as
public service commission counsellor.
This means that he will receive
$4,000 a year, which was Mr. Min
tons salary, instead of the $4,000
he has been receiving. The ar
rangement represents a saving of
$4,000 a year for the state as we'll
as an increase of $1,000 a year for.
Mr. Wiecking.
There was some speculation as
to whether the arrangement had
been worked out so that if Mr..
Minton is defeated in the fall by
Senator Arthur R. Robinson, he
can return to the public service
commission. Governor McNutt de-
MED that he had considered such
possibility.

TESLA INVENTS
NEW DEATH RAY
Invisible Bolt Capable of
AnnihiIating Huge Army,
Says Wizard.
By United Press

By IHtcd Press
NEW YORK, July II. - Nicola
Tesla. pioneer electrical wizard, to-
day announced the invention of a
super death ray-a man-made. in
visible lightning streak of 100000
volts, capable of destroying an
army without a trace.
The tall, austere inventor, who
lives in a world of scientific marvels
incomprehensible to the average
mortal, described the terrible power
of his new death beam. He said
it could:
Cause an army of 100000 men
to drop dead in its tracks.
Bring down a fleet of 10000 air
planes at a distance of $50 miles.
Surround an entire country with
an impenetrable. invisible Chinese
wall" making it safe forever
against enemy attack.
Arm battleshipS with new
weapon of defense against hostile
airplanes and enable them to sweep
the seas.
Yet the death beam could not
be utilized in attack, except in a
limited way by battleships, Mr..
Tesla added. because of the neceS-
Sity of huge generating stations.
