SAN FRANCISCO AILS PARDON
Ex-Prisoner: to Speak on Radio; Governor Exhausted by Celebration.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9 (U. P.). —Thomas J. Mooney rested quietly today after a rousing welcome from
22 years ago. : He was blamed then for the 1916 Preparedness Day bombing that took 10 lives. handed him a pardon at Sacramento on Saturday and yesterday 50,000 persons cheered him along Market St.,.on which the bomb exploded. He was in comparative seclusion at his modest home, waiting for a physical examination tomorrow and a national radio speech tomorrow night. The examination will determine, to some extent, how actively .he can carry out his pledge to devote his energies unifying labor, and seeking the release of Warren K. Billings, also convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for the bombing.
- Governor in Bed
Although he suffered stomach ulcers in prison and received a special diet, Mr. Mooney said he expected to live 25 years longer. He is 56. He went without noticeable fatigue through the pardon hearing and its excitement which sent Governor Olson, who had not slept for 48 hours, to bed with “nervous exhaustion.” The Governor was ordered to rest for several days. He
|was reported improved.
Mr. Mooney carried on from the pardon hearing to a barbecue cele= bration Saturday afternoon, a mass meeting in his honor that night and walked up Market St. Sunday in a parade in his honor. The parade ended at the civic center where labor leaders, legisla | tors who have been interested in the Mooney case, and Mr. Mooney himself spoke. Charges Fascist Peril His speech repeated earlier attacks on the interests which he contended “railroaded” him to prison for the bombing. Reiterating statements made before and after his release, Mr. Mooney urged that the fight made for his freedom be turned into a new three-fold program for labor. He said that Billings must be freed; that warring forces of labor must unite; and that a fight must be waged against fascism which he said was already at work in the United States. Mr. Mooney’s final public appearance in a crowded day was at a dance where his appearance again was cheered.
Goon 5 Years,
Tokyo Correspondent Claims
The war in China probably will
continue for five years, Butler Uni-
versity journalism students were told today by James R. Young, Tokyo correspondent of the International News Service. : ~ “Blockhead khaki-clad individuals who believe they are sent by God, with machine guns instead of Bibles, to convert the Chinese to Japan's ‘peaceful’ policy are responsible for the chaos in the Orient,”
Mr. Young said. He addressed a meeting of the Sigma Delta Chi journalistic fraternity of Indiana University at Bloomington and tonight will speak before the Indianapolis Press Club. -He also was to be interviewed tonight over radio station WFBM.
‘Cosmetics Banned’ * War-time restrictions are remodeling every day customs in Japan, ‘Mr. Young told students at Indiana University. Permanents and cosmetics are officially banned for Japanese hotels. The famous Geisha girls operate under severe restrictions. “Staple
fibre, a manufactured
-product, takes the place of cotton |&
and wool” he said. “Copper and iron kettles can only be replaced by bamboo utensils. Scissors, shears
and other metal objects are difficult to obtain. “If you have a steel doorknob, it is not unusual to wake up in the morning to find it gone. The dust of many an ancestor has lost a protective. wire fence. The high value of any scrap iron for use in munition making has increased thievery of all available metals, even including the manhole coverings in the streets.”

AUTO UNDERWRITERS IS SUED FOR $49,558
A suit for $49,558.50 damages against the Automobile Underwriters, a branch of the State Automobile Insurance Association of Indianapolis, was on file \Circuit Court today. It was filed by Elmer R. Shephard, former councilman of Tipton, who alleged he accepted $400 and $4150 as a final release, for doctor bills, under the impression that he could obtain additional compensation if his condition warranted it. Later he discovered that his back was broken. “This good faith and the suit is unwarranted,” C. A Rochford, legal supervisor for the Automobile Underwriters, said when advised of the suit.

It was pointed out that the board merely is in recess from its last meeting and may meet without call from Mr. Martin.

This was followed in a few hours by the claim. of an anti-Martin official that Mr. Martin and - Mr. Bennett were near an agreement.

* After Accidental Shotgun Blas
John G. Walker, 20, was in a fair condition today in St. Vincent's Hospital from a shotgun wound accidentally inflicted yesterday basement of his home, R. R. 10, Box 123W. -
in the
away parts of his left ribs, Mr. Walker was alone in the home. He dragged himself up the cellar steps, across the road and into a church yard where he ‘attracted ‘attention of passersby. : 4 Mr. Walker had decided to do some target shooting and was going to the basement to get some cans when the gun :went off. . Knowing that he might bleed to death before someone came to the house, he crawled up the stairs, outside and across Semour Road to the yard of the Buck Creek Church. When a car driven by Mr. and Mrs. Julian A. Reisner, 805 Bancroft St. approached, Mr.. Walker waved his hand to attract their attention. After seeing the youth was wounded, the Reisners stopped. They called the sheriff’s office and did what they could for the youth until the ambulance arrived.

tive Canada. He will visit Canada,
frequently, it is expected, and has announced that he will continue to serve Canada in whatever capacity he can while in England. ; Mr. Bennett, who was born in
‘Canada, is wealthy, never has mar-
ried, and ‘has had. no direct heirs since the death of his sister, Mrs. W. D. Herridge, wife of the former Canadian Minister to Washington.
