Washington, Jan. 8. A scathing
indictment of California's handling
of the Mooney-Billings case was sub
mitted to the senate in the form of a
report prepared by experts of the
Wickersham commission.
The commission refused to accept
responsibility for the report which
makes grave charges against the man
ner in which convictions were obtain
ed of the two men on charges of par
ticipating . in the bombing of a pre
paredness parade in San Francisco in
1916.
The conclusions of the Wickersham
experts were as follows:
"There never was any scientific
attempt made by the police or the
prosecution to discover the perpetrat
ors of the crime.
"The investigation was in reality
turned over to a private detective,
who used his position to cause the
arrest of the defendants.
"Witnesses were produced at the
trials with information in the hands
of the prosecution that seriously
challenged the credibility of the wit
nesses, but this information was de
liberately concealed.
"After the trials, disclosures cast
ing doubt on the justice of the, con
victions were minimized, and every
attempt made to defeat the liberation
of the defendants by a campaign of
misrepresentation and propaganda
carried on by the officials who had
prosecuted them."
The report was prepared by Zach
ariah Chaffee, Jr., Walter H. Pollack
and Carl S. Stern. When it was sub
mitted to the Wickersham commis
sion, the commissioners resolved that
such an investigation was outside
their province and refused to consider
the expert findings.

Omaha A career which had raised
a girl from the simple life of a Vol
unteers of America lassie to the
grandeur ofiegfeld's "Follies' and
the glare of Hollywood flood lights
was ended abruptly Tuesday night
when Alyce McCormick, screen act
ress, died in a Hollywood hospital of
septic poisoning.
Death came after a ten day ill
ness and was revealed to the actress'
Omaha friends in a telegram from
her father. Colonel F. A. McCormick.
now stationed at Oakland. Calif. Miss
McCormick, brought to Omaha from
Chicago by her parents, was well
known here and was once the wife
cf an Omaha man.
She began as a Volunteer of Am
erica lass at the age of four. She
was brought to Omaha in 1911 and
after numerous short lived affairs
married. Her martial happiness was
almost as short lived as her other
"romances." however.
At one time, she was adjudged the
most beautiful girl in Nebraska. She
later jointed the "Follies" company
and then went to Hollywood.
San Francisco Is it lawful in the
state of California to charge an in
terest rate of 42 per cent on loans?
This is a question which was argu
ed before the State Supreme Court
recently with Mr. U. S. Webb, Attorney-General,
supporting the negative,
and Senator Hiram W. Johnson the
affirmative.
The case grew out of an applica
tion made by a loan company for a
certificate of operation in accordance
with California's newly enacted Per
sonal Property Brokers Act which
provided for a rate of 42 per cent
a year on loans under $3 00. A test
suit was filed when the Commis
sioner of Corporations refused to
grant the certificate.
In defending his action, Mr. Webb
declared that the new law was un
constitutional because it was an
amendment to the usury law of 181 S
which sets the interest rate at 12
per eent a year, regardless of the
sum involved. This law was an in
itiative measure, he pointed out, and
no act of the Legislature can amend
or nullify an initiative measure un
less the measure itself so provides.
The' question before the court is not
so much the question of legality of
a 42 per cent interest rate as it is
the validity of the initiative, he said.
While upholding the regulatory
provisions of the new statute, which
requires license fees and a rigid state
supervision. Mr. Webb declared that
a 42 per cent interest is itself usury.
Senator Johnson replied that the
new law legalizing the 42 per cent
rate will have a salutary effect ami
that a similar law has been enacted
in 26 other states. Under the old
rate, reputable firms found it im
possible to do business, and abuses
of the law were flagrant. The new
act places all personal-property loan
brokers under the supervision of the
state, and thus provides adequate
supervision of the business, be stated.
The action has caused widespread
interest in other states where efforts
are being made to have the legal
rate of interest raised to 34 per
cent a month, or 42 per cent a year.
A decision by the State Supreme
Court is expected within two months.
THEODORE EEESE IS DEAD
POLITICAL FIGHT GROWING
Madison. Wis. The breach be

bers of the conservative republican
faction in the senate on 'the question

A statement cf 1,000 words, which
accuses Governor LaFollette of as
suming the role of a dictator in tell
ing the senate what kind of a bill it
must pass to secure his signature and
charges him with making false state
ments against the conservatives "be

censure and the bones of old political
fights, party and personal, rattled in

Culbertson is
Winner in the
Bridge Match
Even Break in Butbers on Final
Night, But With a Point Gain
for Visitors of 210.
Xew York Ely Culbertson tri
umphed Friday night. He ended his
month's contract bridge match with
Sidney Lenz in a test of rival bid
ding systems 8,9 SO points ahead,
having won seventy-seven rubbers to
seventy-three lor Lenz.
Mrs. Culbertson finished the match
as her husband's partner as she
started it. And right up to the last
rubber there was doubt whether
there would be a Cuibertson plus for
the rubbers in which she took part.
But she was the big factor in the
gain of 210 points for her husband's
side on the last night and this in
creased the lead for the eighty-eight
rubbers of the series in which she
had played to 365 points.
Lenz and his partner for the last
forty-seven rubbers of the series.
Commander Winfield Liggett, jr.,
won three of the six rubbers of the
last session, but failed to gain thru
inferian bidding. Nevertheless for
Liggett's share of the match Lenz
side was 7,860 points ahead, a fact
which gave followers of the "official"
system of bidding much cause to re
joice. The feel that had Liggett been
Lenz' partner thruout instead of Os
wald Jacoby the result might have
been different.
Mrs. Culbertson took the honors in
bidding and in play of the cards dur
ing tht last session. Doubled once
at four hearts, she made five by a
squeeze play. Once, she doubled Lenz
and he was set four non-vulnerable
fcr a loss of 600 points. Once she
tock six tricks on a bid of three no
trump, but the slarm was due to a
good drop.
Culbertson criticized her bidding
on one hand which led him into no
trump contract on which he made
five when there was a slam possible
in diamonds. He thought an open
ing bid of four diamonds by her to
show her great strength in that suit
would have been more in accordance
with system than her one diamond.

Smith, Cox and Davis Assail Record
of Republicans at Jackson Day
Dinner in Washisgton.
Washington, Jan. Democrats
from far and wide gave spirited as
sent tonight to speeches by their
leaders in past campaigns that ar
raigned the Hoover administration
and demanded its repudiation at the
polls in November.
Leading off at the Jackson day din
ner, Alfred E. Smith especially at
tacked the way the economic situ
ation has been handled. He said pri
vate relief for the unemployed is
insufficient and proposed a huge fed
eral bond issue for public works to
give jobs.
John W. Davis and James M. Cox
joined with him, winning enthus
iastic responses from the audience
to more than two thousand, in charg
ing failure after failure to the re
publicans and hailing the coming
democratic day.
Nothing was said of presi
dential candidacies. The prohi
bition question had its place,
with Smith calling the spending
of 100 million dollars annually
for enforcement "a flea bite."
The law cannot be enforced, he
said, and cited the Wickersliam
report in support of his view.
Huge Ballroom (Trowded.
From all corners of the huge May
flower hotel ballroom came applause
and cheers, but at the same time
many of his listeners heard him in
silence.
"Think of the billions we are
kicking away from us that would
come in taxation," he proceeded
"Why, rum, gin, booze and beer are
running all over the United States
untaxed, and the only man that
gcing to be safe during March, when
you have to make all those income
tax figures up, is the bootlegger.
"Now, all my life I was a great
believer in the theory that the cure
for all the ills of democracy is more
democracy, and the way to handle it
is to pass it back to the people and
let them make their disposition of
it."
Shouts of approval followed an at
tack by Davis, the 192 candidate
on the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill.
"Not one dollar has this tariff
dropped into the pockets of a single
American citizen, he said.
"Go to it," criad a man from the
back of the hall as Davis pleaded for
a "return to local self government.
cn prohibition, education and other
problems.
"I haven't eo much further to
go." se replied.
Applause for Cox.
The 1920 presidential candidate
i Cox,, called on the party to face the
prohibition issue squarely. Applause
greeted his remark, "the plain trutn
is that Uncle Sam, in becoming local
constable, has ceased to be a states
man."
Shouts of "hurrah" and applause
interrupted him when he referred to
Wilson's attempt to create a "league
to end war."
The crowd stopped him with
chcuts and handclapping when
he called upon the south to send
"back to the pulpits political
ecclesiastics so that the truth
may go to the people on the
issue of prohibition."
Ccx's voice rose to a high pitch
as he finished his prohibition ex
hortation.
The crowd stood and cheered as
Cox finished with an appeal for
militant democracy, its eyes on vie
tory."
Chocse Convention.
Claude G. Bowers, toastmaster

Supporters of Governor Roosevelt of

toward San Francisco with enough
strength to cause misgivings among
the Missouri city's supporters. Oth

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, widow of
the wartime president, sat between
Mr. Smith and John J. Raskob, party
chairman. Prominent positions also
were given Speaker Garner, Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, Harry Flood
Byrd. Jouett Shouse, Mrs. Nellie
Tayloe Ross and Frank Hague.
Score Tariff Act.
"Under the sheltering pretense
of fulfilling campaign pledges for
farm relief, Davis said, "we witness
ed the passage of a tariff bill over
well nigh universal protest, fixing
rates that beggared the imagination
of the most hide-bound protectionist.
Every economic and political storm
signal was set against this unright
eous measure and yet it was passed
and signed."
Cox went even further and blamed
the tariff act as one of the major
causes of the depression in that it
cut off the "vast economic frontier
of foreign markets."
"The privileged class, rich almost
beyond estimation, asked for increas
ed dispensations," be said. "Tariff
walls went higher. .We made , it dif
ficult for the world to trade with us,
and now American factories are be
ing built abroad."
Cox said of the farm board:
"The governmental attempt at

On this subject Davis said:
"We witness the mad adventure
of the farm board, which was given
a pretty toy to play with in the
shape of 500 million dollars of the
taxpayers' money. With this glitter
ing instrument it attempted in de
fiance of human experience, past and
present, to sweep nack the sea rnd
thwart the inexoralHe play of the law
of supply and demand. All its waste
ful effort has come to naught. But
it has succeeded in one thing. It has
convinced the American farmer that
once more he has been handed a gold
brick."
On the treasury eficit Davis
made this comment:
"Let us remember . . . that hon
est governments, like honest men,
have no right to live beyond their
means. To what desperate extreme
has the disregard of that simple rule
brought the country?"
Cox, on the same subject, said:
"Nothing bat a major operation,
a balanced budget, will give us stable
recovery in business. . . . The . def
icit was inevitable. For years every
thing has been centering in Wash
ington." Davis Follows Smith.
Davis rose to speak after Gover
nor Smith. He paid high tribute to
Andrew Jackson, describing his birth
date as the day on which democrats
rally "Antaeus-like with strength!
renewed after each overthrow."
"In that spirit," he said, "we
meet tonight, and never have
democrats assen;bl?d at a more
serious moment. Distress and
foreboding are in the hearts of
men and their brightest hopes
have turned to ashes in their

sentment everywhere against

things have come to such a
pass."
The 1924 candidate of the party
said he did not believe it unfair "to
call attention to the fact that for
years it has been constant boast of
the republican party that it had and
could dispense an unfailing panacea
against all such catastrophes. Our
republican friends have claimed an
alliance with providence which made
them sole dispensers of providential
blessings. They have no right to be
surprised or wear an injured look of
innocence if the disappointment now
in the hearts of the American people
shows in a refusal any longer to ac
cept their leadership." World-Her
