LIBERTY PLEA FOR MOONEY IS NATIONAL ISSUE Pardon Petitions Flood Office of Governor; in Jail 12 Years. BY MAX STERN SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19.—The Mooney-Billings case has become a nation-wide issue with the drive begun from New York by the American Civil Liberties Union for an immediate pardon for the pair. “Everybody who has examined the evidence in the light of perjury in the trial has agreed that these men are innocent,” says a letter to Governor C. C. Young from the union. “Interests” Blamed “But they remain in prison because powerful interests in California oppose their release.” Formal pardon petitions made by Frank P. Walsh, Mconey’s attorney, are before Young, together with evidence so exhaustive that the papers weigh fifty pounds. The California Federation of Labor, San Francisco Labor Council and 126 independent unions have passed strong resolutions demanding pardon. Judge Franklin P. Griffin, who sat at their trial, all living Mooney jurors save one, the present district attorney, captain of detectives Duncan Matheson, who handled the case, the Hearst and Scripps-Howard papers and hundreds of prominent Californiaans have made similar appeals. In Prison 12 Years Tom Mooney and Warren Billings have been twelve years in prison. In mid-afternoon of July 22, 1916, an explosion occurred in a crowd watching the preparedness parade in San Francisco, killing twenty and wounding many more. Mooney was a radical labor agitator and young Billings was his understudy. Mooney and Billings were arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to hang. The state’s chief witness was one Frank Oxman, “Honest cattleman,” who identified Mooney and Billings as men he saw planting a bomb in the side-walk crowd. Oxman, arrested later for perjury, was found to have been on a railway station at Woodland 100 miles away when the bomb went off.” ELDERLY MAN FREED FROM RHEUMATISM Bloating and stomach pains were also relieved.. Tells how. Eldeuy people whose lives are burdened by rheumatism, backache, or stomach distress, will read with interest a letter recently received from F. L. Pratt, 72 years of age, 601 Whitman St., Rockford, 111. He writes: "I was hopelessly sick for five long , years with stomach trouble and ! rheumatism. The rheumatism in my shoulder gave me intense pain, j Whenever I ate anything, gas would ! form, accompanied by severe intes- ! tinal cramps. Dizziness would at- j tack me so frequently that work > became almost impossible. I was weak and tired all the time, rolled and tossed all night, and got up more tired than when I went to bed. Recently I started taking Viuna. Already my rheumatism is gone and the dizzy spells have entirely ceased. The gas trouble is nearly gone and my stomach pains have stopped. I am eating well as I could ten years ago. It seems hard to believe, but it is true, every word of it.” Viuna act 6 promptly on gluggle’n bowels, lazy liver and weak kldnevs. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and bringt new strength and energy to the whole body.

FACES DEATH SECOND TIME # Dreyfus Rhoades Guilty as Officer’s Slayer. Hi/ 7’imes Special PRINCETON, Ind., Nov. 19.—For the second time in two years, Dreyfus Rhoades today faces death in the electric chair. A jury in Gibson circuit court here early Sunday returned a verdict of guilty against Rhoades on a charge of murdering Simon Carie, Vincennes policeman, April 1, 1926, shot do\n when he attempted to arrest Rhoades and Albert King, accused of passing unsigned bank notes. King, serving a life term in the Indiana state prison for his part in the slaying, was a witness in the trial of Rhoades. Shortly after the slaying, Rhoades entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced to die. Before removal to the state prison for execution, the Indiana supreme court granted anew trial on the ground that a death sentence had been imposed without a jury hearing. Rhoades escaped from the Knox county jail at Vincennes while awaiting the next move in his case, and was at liberty a year, having been recaptured last September in Colorado. FOR QUICK RELIEF—TAKE THIS A. H. McDaniel, Box 51, Lindside, W. Va., writes: “I tun glad to tell you that Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound is the best cough and cold remedy that can be bought.

ARE YOU A “TIPSTER’S LILY”

With refinements in his methods of swindling, the financial “shark” has refined his slang. Instead of “Suckers,” because they; suck in without much question any attractive offering placed before them, he now calls them “Lilies,” because their undefiled innocencd makes them “easy picking.” And so if you are innocently following the financial advice of a “Tipster” you may be a “Tipster’d Lily.” It has been estimated that 15,000,000 people in the United States are periodical recipients of “tipster sheets,’’ publications in various forms of market letters or financial sheets, mailed out by socalled brokers or financial advisory services for the purpose of selling to the public for dollars some “pet” security which they have purchased for cents. These “tipster sheets” appear in the guise of unbiased and reputable publications. The propaganda concerning their own “pet stocks” appears among the list of well-knoAvn and dividend paying securities discussed. One such publication goes unsolicited and without charge to a -weekly mailing list of 600,000 at a cost of $36,000 for stamps alone. The Better Business Bureau gives you a “tip” that the public, Avho purchase these stocks, pay for the cost of printing, mailing and the usual follow-up telegrams and long distance telephone calls. “Tipster sheets” depend for their success, and they have had success, on the inherent desire of the investor to make easy money and get rich quick. They do not merit public confidence. They should not be confused with reputable financial publications or financial services. The Better Business Bureau is able to separate the good from the bad.
