|' the death penalty, rarely before
Asked In California In the case of a
woman; widespread Interest of labor
Mnions, public controversy involving
1 'credibility of states' witnesses, and
| charges by the defense that lmport
ant evidence had been fabricated, were
| features which marked the trial of
! Mrs. Rena Mooney for murder result
: 1 lD| from a bomb explosion here last
July.
Mrs. Mooney, a music teacher, wife
f. cf Thomas J. Mooney, was arrested a
few days after the explosion, which,
occurring at 2:05 p. m., In the course
of a Preparedness Day parade, July
it. killed ten persons and Wounded
% wore than forty men, women and
children. At about the same time the
Mooneys were arrested, Warren K. Bil
-; links Israel Weinberg and Edward
D. Nolan were taken into custody by
deteclves.
The State contended that the ex
plosion was the culmination of a con
spiracy plot of wide ramifications, with
the five bomb murder defendants as
the ringleaders.
Two Men Receive Sentences.
Billings was tried, convicted of mur
der and sentenced to life Imprison
ment. Mooney was sentnced to death
on a verdict of murder In the first
degree without recommendation for
mercy. Both sentences have been held
up pending appeals to the State Su
preme Court. The, others are now
awaltng trial. Nolan Is at liberty on
ball.
Dissatisfied with the verdict In the
ease of Thomas J. Moon’ey, union la
bor organizations, which contributed
largely to the defeilse fund through
the International Workers’ Defense
League,, caused the appointment of a
"silent Jury,” composed of labor men,
to hear evidence adduced at Mrs. Moo
ney’s trial and render an Independ
ent verdict to organized labor.
Mrs. Mooney was brought to trial
May 21 before Superior Judge Em
mett Seawell, of Santa Rosa, and a
Jury. |
Specific Charge of Murder. |
The specific charge against her was
the murder of Mrs. Myrtle Irene Van
Loo, one of ten victims of the explo- (
slon. In addition the defendant was j
charged with having been a member
of a "murderous conspiracy" to over
throw the government and bring about
a state of anarchy. Much testimony
and many exhibits Intended to sup
port this theory were ruled out by
Judge Seawell. Various letters writ
ten to and by Mooney, extracts from
an anarchist publication called the
"Blast.” edited here about the time of
the explosion by Alexander Berkman.
an associate of Emma Goldman, and
other documents, which the State con
tended showed designs of the alleged .
groun of conspirators, were admitted. ]
Alibi was the defense which the de
• fendants attorneys sought to establish
> by a score of witnesses, who declared j
Mrs. Mooney and her husband had been !
on the roof of the building In which
they made their home more than a
mile from the scene of the explosion,
throughout the afternoon. Mrs. Moo
ney and the four other defendants told |
of thslr movements in detail on the i
afternoon of the bomb murders. The |
defense sought to prove that others
rather than the defendants were the
persons who had been seen In the vi
cinity of the explosion by the State
witnesses.
Tried to Prevent the Parade. I
The State’s contention was that Moo
ney and the others sought to prevent
the parade because It was a military |
preparedness measure which might In- |
terfere with their alleged plot to |
overthrow the government and that
Billings, accompanied by three of the
Other defendants, placed a suit rase
which, the State contended, enclosed
the bomb, at the spot where the blast
occurred. One witness said he saw
Billings, accompanied by Mooney, j
place the suit case on the sidewalk, j
The defense contended thnt the bomb j
was hurled from the roof of a build- '
Ing and witnesses testified they had !
seen a black object coming through i
the air before the detonation.
Bits of what purported to have been
lpeces of an alarm clock, by which
the State contended the bomb was ex
ploded; pieces of what purported to
have been pieces of a suit case and
1 other exhibits such as bullets and
' Jagged pieces of Iron picked up on
the scene after the explosion, were ad
mitted as evidence.
Eleven days before the explosion
Mrs. Mooney obtained about twelve
pounds of nitre, a component of dyna
mite, one witness testified. A detec
tive testified that bullets extracted
from the bodies of victims and picked
tip from the sidewalk were identical
with many found in Mrs. Mooney’s
apartments.
“STANDARD” SHIPS
BUILT FOR ENGLAND
CCorresnosdesee of Associated Prru t
SUNDERLAND. ENG., uly 15 —A Ger
man submarine came somewhat mys
teriously to grief a few weeks ago
on the rocks JuBt outside the harbor
of Sunderland. According to naval
men. the accident was probably due
to failure of the machinery.
But the people of Sunderland, proud
of the progress their little port has
made In the merchant shipbuilding In
dustry. declare that the poor U-boat
died of a broken heart because It saw
•o many “etandard ships” in process
of completion along the estuary.
Standard cargo ships, singly, In
pairs, in threes, or fours, occupy ev
ery possible berth along the river. In
every conceivable sort of position.
There are grain boats, oil boats,
refrigerator boats, and general cargo
boats, but alll built to one design.
Plates from any one of them might
be taken off and riveted to any oth
er. and even the engines are of stand
ard derlgn and might be transferred
from one boat to another without
trouble.
The amount of labor now at work
on these ships Is numerically equiva
lent to something over an army corps.
Thousands of the workmen are too old
for the front, thousands of others too
young, and there are thousands of
. women as well.
All feel, however, that they are "In
the war.” and the spirit of the dis
trict Is well expressed by a great
Painted sign on the side of one of the
half-completed ships, placed there as
a welcome to the king on the occasion
of his recent visit, "We will deliver
'the ships."

FILED IT BISBEE
KELT CENSORED
No News Permitted to Go
j Out Until I. W. W. Men
Were All Deported
_ (Associated Press)
DOUGLAS, ARIZ., July 13—The cen
sorship Imposed on Associated Press
dispatches Hied here and In Bisbee
yesterday during the deportation ol
nearly 1.200 members of the Industrial
workers of the World from Bisbee,
was directed by two officers of the
Phelps-Dodge Corporation — Robert
Pea, general auditor of tne corpora
tion and H. II. Stout, superintendent
of the Cooper Queen Smelter here.
These men and not an army officer as
reported to the outside world by the
western Union office here at the time
were the ones who issued the censor
ship orders to the telegraph company.
The retort that the military had
established the censorship was due,
according to Manager Tlllotson of the
local Western Union office, to the fact
that Mr. Stout Is generally known
as “captain” and that his dress Is
similar to that of an army man, Mr.
Tillotson told The Associated Press
after the censorship had been remov
ed and an Investigation made that he
thought Mr. Stout was a captain In
the regular army and that he was
bound to obey his censorship orders.
Passes Blame to Sheriff.
Mr. Stout admitted today that he
had directed the censorship, but said
he had acted on Instructions ’from the
sheriffs office at Bisbee.’’ Pressed as
to who in the sheriff's office had
authority to censor telegrams, Mr
Stout was unable to designate from
what person he had received his In
structions. but persisted that they
came from Blstee. Sheriff Harry C.
Wheeler, who went to Columbus with
the rattle train on which the men were
deported, returned to Douglas today.
He denied he had authorized the
Imposition of a censorship In Douglas
or Bisbee yesterday.
The sheriff stated to a correspond
ent of The Associated Press that
neither he nor anyone in authority at
his temporary headquarters at Bisbee
had Issued any order putting a cen
sorship Into effect.
Mr. Rea, representing the Phelps
Dodge Corporation, which controls the
mines affected by the strike at Bis
bee, and Mr. Stout both discussed the
censorship while it was In effect, say
ing they desired no Information to
reach the outside world until the de
portations had been completely satis
factorily to them.
lesief Wire also Censored.
The copper company officials also
censored the leased wire of a broker
age company and undertook to censor
telephone calls. In their telephone
censorship they were only partly suc
cessful, for late in the day a connec
tion was obtained with Tucsson and a
brief bulletin transmitted. Although
Mr. Stout, said his orders for the
censorship came from the sheriff's
office at Bisbee, correspondents In the
latter place were under the impression
that Mr. 8tout was directing the
censorship of both towns from Dou
glas. One correspondent whose dis
patches were held up in Bisbee, reach
ed Mr. Stout over the telephone to
obtain a release of his messages but
waB Informed that the censorship
would be raised when the train carry
ing the deported men had passed
through Douglas and not before.
Every effort to learn by what auth
ority the Phelps-Dodge officials im
posed the censorship was without avail
today when Mr. Stout referred In
quirers to the sheriff.
WAR DEPARTMENT MAY INVESTI
GATE.
f Associated Prtn.)
NEW YORK, July 13— Officials of
both the \Mestern l’nlon Telegraph
Company and the Phelps-Dodge com
pany began investigation today of the
arbitrary action of Rea and Stout, in
imposing a censorship for the greater
part of yesterday on dispatches from I
Bisbee relating to the deportation of
Industrial Workers of the World.
Attention of the war department al
so has been called to the Incident. !
DRASTIC RESTRICTION
OF RAILROAD TRAFFIC
IN GERMANY IMPOSED
(Associated Press.)
ROTTERDAM, ENT1I., July 15 —Few
er trains and higher fares are the
order of the day in Germany. The
restriction of railroad traffic is very
drastic. Whereas, formerly twenty
nine trains ran in each direction daily
between Berlin and the west, now
there are only thirteen.
Between Berlin and the east previ
ously there were thirteen or fourteen
connections; now the number is lim
ited to live or six.
The increased railroad fares will be
come effective January 1, 191S, and
are In addition to the tax on reserved
sea tickets, which already amounts to j
16 per cent, for first class, 14 per
cpr.t. for second, 12 per cent, for
third, and 10 per cent, for tourth
j class tickets.
The general Increase In fares will
be 10 per cent.

Mid-Summer Gossip From
Gotham Touching Live
Topics of the Day
,# T1,e Advertiser.)
NEW YORK, July 15.—To carefully
cornu every corner of Greater New
York for the slightest sign of un
derground Information channels to
Germany, hundreds of secret service
and police sleuths were secretly
thrown out al,lover town today in the
most comprehensive spy dragnet that
was ever cast here.
Every signer of every scrap of ca
blegram or mail that can be recently
traced toward Germany will be watch
ed every hour of night and day In
the strict surveillance of the men who
are determined to find and plug the
news leak that is Imperiling Ameri
can soldiers and sailors. Before many
week are over, the authorities be
lieve that they will get from this
detective drag results that may help
more than many broadsides of gunfire
abroad.
fewer Flats for Resf,
That war conditions have cut In two
the number, cost and capacity of the
apartment houses built during the
Inst year was shown today by the.
records of this form of construction
that houses over half of all the peo
ple In this city.
New fiat quarters for only 20,000
persons have been prepared since last
July, while over 40,000 new tenants
foined the three and a half million of
these local cave dwellers during the
year before!
Lack of labor, Increased costs and
general wartime stagnation are as
signed as causes for this curtailment
by the apartment agents, who hope
to use the shortage In new flats as
a basis to boost rents from end to
end of town.
Women Working In the Trades.
Preparing themselves to fill the
places of thousands of male workers
In every industrial, commercial and
financial field, an army of women from
every class and corner of this town
have now begun to study the Jobs that
any of the older generation have nev
er believed could be filled by the gen
tler sex.
Not only have these energetic girl
Patriots filled every class for teach
ing auto driving, skilled mechanical
labor and every one of men’s most
husky tasks, but they have already
begun work by the hundreds in plants
and offices where the call to camp
has removed many men employes.
When the war drain sets In more
seriously, It now sees certain that the
women of Greater New York will do
much to keep the wheels moving
here.
Preparedness Proof.
Showing that surely S.000 organized
volunteers can be counted upon even
during a holiday week-end to help
the police defend this city, the secret
mobilization of the Home Defense
League following the Fourth of July
Is now declared here by the authori
ties to be a proof of preparedness for
any war emergency here.
Though only a few hours' notice of
this hurry call was given the men of
this home guard, who In many cases
had left town over the holiday, enough
uniformed volunteers came rushing to
the police station to handle any sit
uation. As a result of this organiza
tion that he formed months ago. the
police commissioner can now command
over 20.000 men to protect New York
ers In the most sudden emergency.
Creel’s Critics Captions.
Although the editorial writers are
pounding George Creel for whatever
he does or does not write from
Washington,- many of the men who
hold down cable desks along Park
Row are now expressing sympathy for
this talented young • censor.
If the art of padding more words
Into sticks of cable were unknown In
the local newspaper offices, their edi
torial shrieks of protest might cortie
with better grace, they point out.
Since many a bad break has been
made by every cable editor with no
comment by his colleagues, the flimsy
trimmers say that Creel's critics are
overdoing it a bit. MEAD.
MANY FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES MAY BE
KEPT IN STORAGE
(Special to The Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, July 15.—Fruits and
vegetables well may be preserved
through freezing storage In the pres
ent food emergency by concerns not
primarily engaged in commercial cold
storage operations, say specialists of
the United States Department of Ag
riculture. Many hotels, restaurants
and ice-cream factories are equipped
with facilities for refrigerated stor
age; and pie factories and other large
users of fresh fruits and vegetables
may find It advantageous to provide
Rimllar means for the preservtlon of
their raw materials or utilize the fa
cilities of the large public cold stor
age houses, with which most of.th#
large communities are provided.
The fresh products should be stored
in a temperature of 10 to 16 degrees
Fahrenheit until they are to be used.
Sweet corn on the cob. string beans,
green Lima beans, beets, asparagus,
parsnips, peas in the pod, Pudlong
spinach. raspberries. strawberries,
cranberries, blueberries, gooseberrlee.
blackberries. loganberries, currants,
plums and cherries are among the per
ishables that already have been kept
satisfactorily irt this way to some ex
tent. the specialists point out. These
produces, however, must be cooked
within a few hours after removal from
the freezing temperatures.
Undoubtedly the extension of the
practice by concerns having freezing
storage available, would help to a con
erable extent in reducing the waste
of perishables. If such practices were
adopted generally. the canning of
much food to be held for periods of
six to eight months could he obvi
ated. Tin cans, therefore, could be
released for more extensive uso in
canning foods which could be pre
served in no other way.
NO MEATS, NO MARRIAGES.
PARTS. July 15.--Meatless days have
bad the effect of suppressing marriages
as well as the consumption of beef,
ceal, mutton, pork, and fowl, on Mon
days and Tuesdays in Paris. Tuesday
formerly was a particularly lively day
in the marriage salons of the twenty
mayors’ offices in Paris. Now they are
deserted. The reason is supposed to be
that meatless wedding feasts are not
acceptable.
REVOLUTION IN DYE TRADE.
MANCHESTER. ENGLAND. July 15
--The dye trade has undergone a revo
lution during the war and brought
prosperity to more than one British
firm, owing to the necessity of invent
ing and manufacturing dyes formerly
bought entirely from Germany. Just
before the war the shares of one color
and dye stuff company, were obtainable
at nine shillings each. Now they are
selling at ninety pounds sterling.
FALSE REPORTS ARE
DENIED Blf HEAD OF
RED CROSS COUNCIL
Davidson Squelshes
Rumor of Ten Millions
Going to Italy
(
(Special tm The Alnrtlwr.)
WASHINGTON. D. C.. July 15.-.
Henry P. Davidson, chairman of the
Red Cross War Council authorises
the following statement:
Morning newspapers publish a report
that the American Red Cross Is to use
In Italy $10,000,000 out of the $100,
000,000 and more recently subscribed.
The report Is without foundation, and
It is Important that the policy of the
Red Cross In handling these funds be
clearly understood.
The Red Cross has appropriated $1,
000,000 to provide Immediate necessi
ties In France, to be spent under the
direction of the American Red Cross
commission In France, headed by Ma
jor Grayson M. P. Murphy, a member
of the war council. The Red Cross has
also appropriated $200,000 to purchase
medical supplies and Instruments,
whereby the Red Cross commission to
Russia may take care of more urgent
needs upon arrival in that country.
Other Appropriations.
The sum of $200,000 has been appro
priated to purchase materials to sup
ply most urgent needs In Roumanla.
The sum of $100,000 has been appro
priated for use In Armenia, and $6,500
has been appropriated to purchase
drugs to be sent to the Russian Red
Cress.
Aside from the foregoing, no appro
priations have been made by the war
council for work In foreign countries.
The need In all the allied* countries is
beyond computation, and use can be
found for all funds which can possi
bly be obtained either now or In the
future. That very fact imposes upon
the Red Cross an extraordinary obliga
tion, which It fully recognizes, to use
the funds committed to It only after
assuring Itself not only that any pro
posed expenditure will do good but
that It will accomplish the greatest
good relative to other needs which are
crying to be supplied.
France aad Russia.
The Red- Cross has now at work In
Fance a commission of experts, and
It has more recently sent to Russia a
similar commission. The expenses of
these commissions are borne privately
and are not a charge on Red Cross |
funds. It Is the purpose of the Red
Cross to send similar commissions to
Italy and Roumanla, and also to ap
point a commissioner to Great Britain.
No appropriations for use In any coun
try will be made until after Investiga
tion, and all except emergency appro
priations will be made by the war
council for specific purposes and in
specified amounts.
It Is also the policy of the war
council to withhold any very large
expenditures abroad until it Is made
certain that every necessary provision
leas been made to take care of our own
soldiers and sailors.
Appropriations as authorized will, as
Far as feasible, be made public Imme
liately, and frequent statements will
lummarlze the expenditures of the past,
md set forth the condition of Red Cross
li nances.

newspaper relates the sad story of
an artist there who found- it impos

this mortal coll finally by eating a

count of the tragedy is as follows:
"Tired of life at 45, the artist pro
cured a portion of a violent poison
and tried to poison himself with it.
In vain he awaited a fatal effect, and
on the following day had the re

"It was a ‘war substitute* poison.

of paper pulp, and it broke.
"The two-fold failure of his attempt
at suicide the man regarded as a sign
of fate, and a fresh Joy in life in
spired him. Proceeding to a certain
well-known restaurant, he ordered and
consumed an alleged meat stew. It
was a 'war substitute' stew, and two

Infested produce on an average 42.4
per cent, less milk than similar cows
freed from ticks. This was establish
ed by records of yields kept over con
siderable periods for tlcky herds be
fore they were dipped and for the
same herds after they were dipped.
"A herd of twenty lightly ticked
cows produced twenty-nine quarts less
milk per day, or a loss of 5,800 quarts
In 200 days’ milking, than twenty
tick-free cows of the same kind.
Twenty heavily ticked cows produced
67 quarts per day less, or a loss of
13,400 quarts In 200 days' milking,
than twenty tick-free cows of a sim
ilar breed. The monetary gain from
dipping of the lightly Infested herd
would have been 1280 a year; from
the heavily ticked herd a dipping
would have given, increased profits of
8660 a year.

“Hore is fcn actual record from a
dairy herd; A dairyman in heavily
Infested territory dipped his cattle.
One week aftdr dipping, his herd of
42 cows gave 10 gallons of milk a
day more—an increase of 16j6 per cent,
from the start. The milk sold for 35
cents a gallon, and he got 23.50 more
per day from his herd from one dip
ping. He had begun to feed the cows
Instead of the ticks.
“Those who assert that dipping di
minishes milk flow judge entirely from
the milk production for two or three
days immediately following the trip
to the vat. It is antural that for two
or three days after a milch animal
has been driven a few miles and gone
through the excitement of dipping,
her milk flow will temporarily fall
ofT slightly. The actual figures show
that for two or three days there may
be a reduction of an average of 10.6
per cent, or about 0.8 of a quart for
an eight-quart cow. In three to five
days the temporary falling off disap
pears and if the dairyman would keep
records over any long period he would
find that getting rid of ticks was in
creasing his actual milk production
from 18 to 42 per cent.
“That dipping cows to get rid of
cattle ticks must Increase milk flow
can readily be reasoned out by any
one who will approach the subject with
an open mind and not let his preju
dices fight his pocketbook. Cows can
make milk only from blood. It fol
lows that the more blood ticks suck
from them the less material the cows
will have to turn into milk. When
it is realized that the ticks on a
heavily Inflated animal consume as
much ac 200 pounds of blood a year, It
can be seen that a heavily infested
cow will lose by the tick route a

that the cow can make blood to sup
ply her milk glands only from the
feed she consumes, it can be seen
that the tick by sucking blood is
wasting a lot or good feed that ought

“It is as unreasonable to estimate
the effect of dipping on a cow’s yield
from the milk she gives for two days
after she has been dipped as it would
