SAN QUENTIN, PRISON. Cal,
Sept. 17.-Tom Mooney dressed
himself in his going out" clothes
today for his second trip from San
Quentin Prison since his impriSon-
ment Is years ago He may never
return to the prison.
He will be away at least two
weeks, perhaps four by order Of
the State Supreme Court. The court
ordered his removal 10 San Fran
cisco for hearings on his application
for writ of habeaS corpus.
Each afternoon. after the hear
ings close for the day, Mooney will
be taken to the county prison down
town. aefew blocks from the street
intersection where in 1916 a bomb
burst during a patriotic demonstrs-
ton and 10 persons suffered fatal
injuries.
Mooney and Warren X Billings
were convicted on charges Of murder
in the bombings. Mooney was sem
fenced TO death. but the sentence
was committed to life Imprisonment.
Then began a struggle supported
by unioniSts and liberals all over the
world. to free him. Spurning a
parole. Mooney sought a pardon
from five successive Governors.
Appeals made to state courts also
were ineffective until. on instruc-
lions of the United States Supreme
Court this year. the Mooney defense
attorneys asked for a writ of habeas
corpus Turned down in two lower
courts. Mooney finally won his plea
in the Supreme Court which ordered
hearings to determine whether his
charges Of having been convicted on
perjured evidence we're true.
Unwilling to take up its own time
with the prolonged arguments the
hearing will require. the court
turned it over to A E. Shaw, San
Francisco attorney. who will report
his findings to the court.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-THE
nation paused today to honor its
148-year- Constitution.
For some, it was an occasion for
vigorous attacks on legislation Spon-
sored by President Roosevelt.
For others, it was a time to praise

to study and pay tribute to the
historic document.
The capital led the celebration
with plans for a torchlight parade
a pageant and fireworks. Special
concerts by the Army and Navy
bands and speeches by churchmen
and civic leaders will complete the
program.
Attacks on conStitutionality of
various New Deal measures began
last night with a speech by Jouett
Shouse, president of the American
Liberty League, replying to Presi-
dent RooSevelt's breathing spell"
letter to Roy w Howard, publisher
of the Scripps-Howard newspapers.
The Administration view will be
presented at $50 p. m. Indianapolis

Daniel C. Roper is scheduled to dis
cuss the Constitution at the George

mortal at Alexandria, Va.
Soldiers, sailors, marines, coast
guardsmen, war veterans and mem
bers of patriotic societies will par
ticipate in a night parade on Con-
Stitution-aV.
A movement has been started to
make Sept. II national holiday 1t

Hero to INDIANAPOLIS

Len KOenecke. killed in a mid
air battle with the crew of a pri-
vate airplane early today. was one
of indianapolis baseball heroes and
thousands of HooSierS followed his
big league career with avid interest.
The indianapolis team purchased
Koenecke in 1923, but it was not
until the seasons of 1880 and 1881
that he achieved the form which
won him the cheers of local baseball
followers.
Showing constant improvement,
KoeneCke found the range of Ameri-
can Association pitchers and won
fame as one of the leagues top
notch fence In 1881 he
batted 354 and the late John Nc
Graw secuted him in person.
A hat pulled low over his eyes,
Nh. McGraW sat in the grandstand
at the old Washington Baseball
park and watched keenly as Koen-
ecke went through mis- PAGES. He
purchased the indianapolis player
for sum reported to be $4,000.
Koenecke, however. failed to
make the grade with the New York
Giants and the Giants traded him
TO Buffalo. where he regained his
batting form and placed high
among the International Leagues
300 hitters.
Brooklyn purchased him and last
year h made good as a regular
outhelder. batting 800. He led the
leagues outflelderS in fielding with
Z percentage of 1894. Casey Stengel
manager Of the Brooklyn team, had
high hopes for him this year, but
after a good early start Koenecke' S
batting average dropped.
He was reported to have injured
his arm and New York newspaper
men were told that he was COM
planning of pains in his throwing
wing It was surmised by baseball
men that his arm injury had been
worrying him and that his batting
was affected by his mental condi-
ton.
Ironically. Koenecke was placed
on the inactive list yesterday TO
make room for another InGianap-
oils star. Johnny Cooney. who 5
scheduled to join the Dodgers today
in st. Louis.

TORONTO. Ontario. Sept. II
I never saw Koenecke before in my
life.
He came to the Detroit Airport
last night and asked TO be flown
to Buffalo. He appeared to have
been drinking. but was okay when
We took off.
When I told him to leave the front
OF the ship and 60 back with Davis.
he did
A few minutes later I noticed him
engaged in a terrific struggle with
Davis. Davis is a small man and
was being badly beaten. Koenecke
had bitten Davis in several places
and was choking him.
They must have struggled in the
back of the plane for about so
minutes.
AS watched the fight I decided
something had to be done. because
n Davis was overcome I knew
KOCneCke would come after me. I
had plenty on my hands, however,
trying to keep the ship in the air,
and every time I left the controls
I had to rush back to straighten out
the plane.
As Davis and KoeneCke rolled
near my scat I reached for the eX-
tlngu,Sher and let him have 1t sew
eral times.
guess I hit him quite a few
times. Oh. I don't know low many.
I lust let him have it,
I can't believe that he is dead
but something had to be done. It
was either KoeneCke or 1t meant
the crashing of the ship and per-
haps all Of us would have been
killed.
What else could I have done?
