HOOVER'S HELP REQUESTED IN MOONEY CASE Scripps-Howard Editors Ask President to Intervene in California. (Continued from Page 1)

only the mercifu 1 Intervention of a chief executive of the United States can serve the ends of justice President Hoover wisely has sated that one of the predominant issues —if not tne outstanding problem—of our times is the efficient and impartial enforcement of law. He has created a commission on law enforcement, manning it with persons of distinction and high competence in the law, and has vested it with sweeping powers of i' investigation, criticism and recommendation. “This conference of editors and i ' ditorial executives of the twenty- > live Scripps-Howard newspapers | unanimously urges intervention now , by the President in the Mooney- I Biilinsyi case to the end that delinquent justice may be accorded these men. “We realize that in its external j legal technicalities the case of j Mooney and Billings may appear strictly a state affair. But we feel that even a casual examination of the easily available facts will convince the President that this case is i the business of every friend of jus- ! tice and American ideals of which j he is, by virtue of his official posi- | tion. the supreme symbol and pro- j sector. Justice in Peril We contend that such assertions as have been put forth by the supreme court of California, and by the state’s attorneys who obtained the conviction of Mooney and Billings. strike at the very roots of American conceptions of law and justice. “There latter are based on the premise of equal justice for all, irrespective of opinion, and upon the assumption that a man must be proved guilty of the specific charge in the indictment. If we are to convict a man of a capitla crime because he holds unpopular opinions, then we surrender the legal progress of a thousand years and revert to the justice of the inquisition and witch trials. “The case of Mooney and Billings ies a challenge not only to California justice, but also to the fair reputation of our whole country before the bar of world opinion. We, therefore, recommend that the President specifically, and at the earlies possible date, bring the case of Mooney and Billings to the attention of the lav; enforcement commission . The commission has unusual facilities for full and impartial investigation. World Watches Case We believe that a painstaking review of the case by the Wickersham commission will do more than anything else now feasible to erase tlr- long-standing stain upon our national record and to restore to both California and the nation a reputation for fairness and judicial impartiality. Asa resident of California and as the chief executive of the nation, we feel that the President has bo h a double interest and a double responsibility in seeing that justice is done, even though tardily, to these two men, from many of whose opinions we dissent, but who nevertheless are entitled to complete justice from our courts. • It is our belief that such world- ; wide attention has ben focused upon this case that only the most cress judicial stupidity could believe j that it ever can be hushed up until j justice is done. Vigorous Campaign Pledged • • Tire Scripps-Howard newspapers, j actuated solely by the twin desire to | see justice done these men and pub- j lie confidence in the courts restored, i pledge themselves to keep before j the public the details of this judi- j rial lynching until justice finally is j. done. “Scores of other influential liberal i newspapers throughout the nation; are determined equally that the j soirit of justice shall not languish,! forgotten and friendless, in Cali-1 fornia penitentiaries. We feel that the present situation lays a great responsibility and j t> great opportunity before the President upon which it is our earnest j hope that he will act.” Suits Ask 515.000 NEWCASTLE.

FREE BEER HOBBY OF CUBAN SENATOR

Host to Thousands Each Week: Brings Baseball to Havana. BY K. D. GILMORE, United Press Staff Correspondent HAVANA, Oct. 18.—Free beer and baseball are the two hobbies of Senor Julio Blanco Herrera, one of Cuba's wealthiest citizens. Needless to say Senor Herrera is regarded by his countrymen and by neatly ali American visitors to Havana as the world's greatest philanthropist. Hardly a week goes by that from 5,000 to 20,000 persons do not take advantage of his generosity and drink the cool brew in his tropical gardens free of charge. This Cuban Santa Claus, a medium-sized chap of pleasing personality, rubbed his slightly bald head and explained his interest in baseball. / “Baseball,” he said, “ is the greatest game in the world. If all nations played it, there wouldn’t be any wars. They would all be arguing over the respective merits of their teams.” And Senor Herrera really is in a position to know about baseball. He has just brought twenty National and four American League players to Havana for a series of nine games. While the expense was $500,000, Senor Herrera anticipates that the enthusiasm of Cuban fans will return his investment many times. The games will be played in Tropical stadium owned by Senor Herrera and larger than the Yankee stadium in New York. SET POSTAL SESSION State Group Will Meet at Antlers Oct. 25.

STATE REFUSES GOODRICH RATE INCREASE PLEA Board Again Reprimands Telephone Utility for Operation Method. Once again the James P. Goodrich telephone interests have been turned dow’n on a rate increase and given a reprimand in an order of the public service commission.

OE PRIEST PAYS OCDEN TRIBUTE ON MOB STAND G. 0. P. Absolved of Blame for Marion Killings by Negro Congressman. Oscar De Priest, Negro Republican congressman from Chicago, absolved the Republican party of blame in lynching of two Negroes at Marion Aug. 7, at a reception in nis honor at Phyllis Wheatly branch of the Y. W. C A. Friday. Two hundred Negro Republicans heard De Priest. “Because a weak-kneed sheriff with two deputies, and a Democratic mayor with a police force of twenty-five failed to do their duty, that is no reason to blame the Republican party for the recent happening at Marion,” De Priest declared. Sheriff Jake Campbell, against whom part of his tirade was directed, is Grant county Republican chairman. As James M. Ogden, attorneygeneral, walked into the hall, DePriest exclaimed: “I want to pay my respects personally to the man who has had the guts to do his duty—and he is a Republican, too.” Other speakers included Clyde E. Robinson, Republican county chairman; Schuyler A. Haas, district chairman; Archibald M. Hall, nominee for representative in congress; Judson L. Stark, prosecutor, candidate for re-election; Robert L. Brokenburr, deputy prosecutor, and Ward B. Hiner. 30 PUEBLO SITES FOUND Unearthing of Villages Indicates Little Climatic Change. Bu Science Service BERKELEY, Cal., Oc.t 18.—Thirty new pueblo sites have been unearthed in southeastern Arizona by Professor Carl O. Sauer of the geography department of the University o’ California. The villages all were situated on the gentle slopes at the base of the mountains where the summer floods best could be utilized for farming. There clearly has been very little change in climatic conditions during the intervening centuries, Professor Sauer reported. The complete defenselessness of the location indicates that the Chiricahua pueblos date back to a more peaceful period than do the walled towns of New Mexico. 06IE SMITH ELECTED Named New President of Indianapolis Rotary.
