MOONEY CASE TANGLES STATE POLITICAL RACE Pardon Issue May Be Big Factor ir. California Fall Election. BY DENNIS MACHONEY Cnltrd Prm Staff Corrnpoodent SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.—A three-cornered battle for the. governorship of Californie one of the most bitter in the state's history, today became still further complicated by the fight to free Thomas J. Mooney and Warren K. Billings from prison. It had been the hope of Governor C. C. Young, candidate for reelection. to delay examination of John MacDonald, star witness in the Mooney-Biilings trial, until after the primary election Aug. 26, to prevent the ease from becoming a political issue. Governor Young is opposed by District Attorney Buron R. Fitts of Los Angeles and Mayor James Roiph Jr. of Ban Francisco. All are candidates for the Republican nomination, which in California is tantamount to election. Says Pardon Not Issue The Governor repeatedly has asserted that he does not believe the Mooney-Biilings pardon applications should be an issue in the campaign. What it will do. now that MacDonald in to be returned to California to tell his story, is a subject causing much speculation in political circles. Governor Young, 61. a former school teacher, had made a thorough study of the Mooney case for more than two years. Os New England ancestry, he had a keenly analytical type of mind He is a member of the progressive wing of the Republican party in California, which acknowledges Senator Hiram W. Johnson as its leader. Governor's closest adviser, according to his associates, has been Mrs. Young, who has taken a deep interest in the Mooney case. In the present campaign. Young has received the indorsement of the California units of the SerippsHoward and Hearst newspaper chains, and because those organizations also are battling for pardons for Mooney and Billings, the Governor’s position became extremely difficult. Fitts Stays Neutral Buron Fitts, a disabled war veteran. 38 years old. first achieved political prominence in American Legion circles. He was elected Lieutenant Governor in 1926. and resigned in 1928 to become district attorney of Los Angeles. Among Fitts’ chief supporters in southern California are persons known to be opposed to pardons for Mooney and Billings. Asa result, the candidate has maintained a neutral position. Fitts also is supported by former Governor Friend W. Richardson, whom C. C. Young defeated for Governor four years ago. Richard-

Va., July 14.—Harry Dickinson, filling station operator, who left here nearly two weeks ago with Miss Mary Frances McClenny, daughter of a prominent Richmond doctor, was free on SI,OOO bond today to appear in police court Friday to answer charges of “abducting" the girl. The charges were filed by Dr. D. C. McClenny, who had Dickinson arrested after the couple had been found living in a Waynesboro (Va.) rooming house. Meanwhile, the girl has given Dickinson's lawyers what is said to be a signed statement absolving the garage man of all blame and asserting she went with him willingly and knowing “that he was married nad not divorced.’’ She also said she still loved him. Dickinson's wife and child are said to be living in Russellville, Tenn. Miss McClenny is at her parents’ home in a state of collapse. son. as Governor, refused to pardon Mooney. Mayor Roiph also has maiiltained silence in regarding recent MooneyBiilings developments, in the hope that if unfavorable reaction results from Young's attitude he may benefit by it. Roiph is the Beau Brummel of the three candidates, widely known as Californa's official “greeter” to prominent visitors. He is an advocate of modification of the prohibition laws. Young and Fitts are on the side of enforcement.

FRANCE, ITALY PAVE WAY FOR NAVAL PARLEY Agree to Quit Shipbuilding Until Dec. 31, in Move to Discuss Pact. BY .STEWART BROWN, lotted Pre* Staff Correpondent PARIS. July 15.—The way was opened for enewed conversations between France and Italy regarding naval limitations when the two countries agreed to discontinue laying down new vtssels until next Dec. 31. The conversations began between Aristice Briand and Dino Grandi, foreign ministers of France and Italy respectively at Geneva during the last council meeting, but were broken off when Primier Mussolini made his bellicose speeches on his tour of the Italian provinces. With Italy's acceptance of France’s proposal to discontinue laying down vessels temporarily, political quarters here expected that conversations between M. de Beaumarchais, the French ambassador to Italy, and Count Manzoni, the Italian ambassador to France, would be instituted promptly. Those conversations, it was believed, would pave the way to another meeting between Briand and Grandi at Geneva, when some progress towards limitation of French and Italian naval armaments may be hoped for. If the two countries are willing to go far enough in their limitation discussions, there may be good prospects that the London naval treaty of 1930, to which Great Britain, the United States and Japan now are signatories, may be extended to include France and Italy, making a five-power pact including the world’s strongest naval nations. While Briand's suggestion did not go as far as Grandi's original proposal for a complete Franco-Italian naval holiday, quarters close to the French foreign office felt Briand went as far as he could in view of Mussolini's speeches. TALK MOVING OF WARD Health Board Meets to Carry Out Fire Hazard Order. Steps to carry out the order of the state fire marshal to vacate the old city hospital ward unit, condemned as a fire hazard, were to be discussed at 4 p. m. today by the health board.

HORSEPLAY GALORE ON STAGE AT LYRIC Summer Vaudeville This Week Runs to Some Very Light Entertainment Both in Words and Action. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE best way that I can describe the nature of vaudeville with us this week is that it runs mostly to horseplay. You get the idea of the nature of the horseplay just as soon as you get acquainted with Kirk and Lawrence. They have taken the hobby horse idea and have worked out a horsey act, not brilliant but it is something efferent along eccentric comedy lines of entertainment. Bill Kirk and Miss Lawrence instead of using costumes of the regulation type have placed themselves half way into the forms of horses that one sees on a merry-go-round. Their conversation as well as actions is horseplay. It is pure as well as simple. Pate Lane on being
held over a second week, is introducing his “gang.” The gang this week is composed of a number of colored boys who make hot horse play music out of such musical in-
struments as a tea kettle, banjo and the like. Lane this week is not doing enough hoofing, relying upon the “novelty” of his “gang” to put himself over. Winchester and Ross are two eccentric comics who have enough different material for several acts, but the stuff isn’t hinged together to make the grand finale.

They please at that. Mile. Rhea and Santoro have what is known as a dance revue in which two men in athletic poses and acrobatics are easily the hit of the act. The last dance number on part of one of the women, a sort of an oriental thing, splendidly done, rather reminds one of the fan dance of Wanda in “Rose-Marie” but without the fan. “On the Level,” with Victor McLaglen, comes under the head of an average picture. The chief character is a worker who becomes unknowingly the sap stool pigeon of a gang of swindlers. But virtue wins as does the hero. Now at the Lyric. Other theaters today offer: Pat Rooney at the Indiana, “Golden Dawn” at the Apollo, “Sweet Mama" at the Circle, “The Unholy Three”
at the Palace, “Caught Short” s.t the Ohio, and burlesque at the Colonial. ’FRENCH HONOR WOMAN Former Denver Society Leader Is Knighted for Stage Study. Bu United Press PARIS, July 15.—Mrs. J. J.
