aside the recommendation of six supreme court judges in the Billings pardon plea and set Tom Mooney free, declared Senator Thomas Schall, blind senator from Minnesota, today. “Mooney and Billings are innocent of this mass murder,” said Senator Schall. “Judge Griffin, who sentenced Mooney, the living jurymen, Justice Langdon, and practically every one who knows the inside of the scandalous trial, says so. “That six Judges have allowed prejudice to blind their eyes does not exculpate the Governor of California from blame if these two innocent men longer remain in prison. Because some men can refuse to see the glaring irregularities of that trial, can fail to see that

the chief witnesses were perjurers, can close their minds to an almost perfect alibi for each of the men, these things only make the duty more imperative upon clear-headed honest men to keep up the fight. “The Governor of California can not afford to allow the stain of this awful travesty cf justice to besmirch his fair state.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HOPE OF EARLY WORLD COURT ACTI9NSLIGHT Supporters of Adherence Feel Special Session Will Be Needed. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Forelen Editor WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Despite the fact, that the world court today

reposed in the lap of the senate where President Hoover placed it Tuesday night asking for approval, only the most persistent optimist hopes for action at the short session. Even the President, it is observed, did not press for an early vote, contenting himself with a request that it be taken up after emergency relief measures and appropriation bills are out of the way. And those senators are few and far between who believe that can be done much before March 3 when the present session of congress automatically stands adjourned. Friends of the world court, therefore, are pinning their hopes on a special session, at least of the senate, celled for the specific purpose of voting the United States into the court. Even if it were possible to get the

project out on the floor for immediate debate, there are some twenty irreconcilable foes ready to talk against it until the short session dies. Meantime if the senate ever was in doubt as to the country’s state of mind with regard to court entry, it is receiving daily enlightenment on the subject. Messages are coming in from every section of the country most of them urging prompt ratification. “Under existing conditions,” said General James G. Harbord, “the President’s message shows a high degree of courage. It is well for the United States and the remainder of the world that our decision be made without further delay.” “I am delighted by the President’s submission of the protocols to the senate and hope for early action on

them,** was the commont of John W. Davis, former ambassador to Great Britain. “Public opinion Is all In favor of prompt adherence. There is no use in talking about abandoning force, that is to say war, in the settlement of international disputes, unless we are willing to put something in its place.” President James R. Angell of Yale, commented, saying that “In view of the attitude of some of the senators,” the President has shown great courage. “I am greatly gratified,” he said. Colonel Edward M. House said the President, by his action, “has heartened all lovers of international peace,” while William Allen White, Kansas editor, congratulated the chief executive for taking the “next logical step” in the direction of i

world peace “which is to Join the world court.” Senator Royal 8 Copeland, of New York, told the writer that he “had hoped that the President would call a special session of the senate Immediately after adjournment on March 4 so that the matter could be debated without the intervention of other business ” 200,000 MtCE ON FARM 3,000 a Day Are Dispatched to Scientific Institutions.
