MOONEY WITNESS
UP M PERJORY
Oxman Accused of Attempting
to Induce Kigali to Testify
Falsely Against the
Defendant.
San Francisco, Sept. 12. Frank C
Or.man was brought to trial in the
superior court here today on charges
of attempted subornation of per
jury growing out of the conviction
of Thomas J. Mooney for one of the
bomb murders in the course of a
preparedness day parade July 22, 1916.
Ten persons were killed.
Oxman was a material witness
against Mooney, whose appeal from
sentence of death is pending in the
state supreme court. He is accused
of attempting to induce F. EJ Rigall
cf Grayville, 111., to give false testi
mony against Mooney.
Oxman's prosecution was to be
conducted by deputies of State Attor
ney General U. S. Webb because at
taches of District Attorney Charles
M. Fickert's office were to be called
as witnesses. Fickert ordinarily
would prosecute the case.
It was expected that events which
led to charges of "frameup" preferred
by Mooney's counsel against the dis
trict attorney's office and subsequent
public controversy relative to Ox
man's credibility would be laid bare.
The expose of. Oxman's alleged at
tempts to subrnate perjury led to
consent for a new trial by Attorney
General Webb. The state supreme
court yesterday refused to grant a
new trial on this consent. Mooney's
appeal on the record in the case will
De acted on Dy trie state supreme
court in October.

MOVE TO OUST CHICAGO MAYOR UP TO GRAND JURY
Mayor William Hale Thompson, whom the Cook county
grand jury may seek to oust from office because of his de
fiance of Governor Lowden's order forbidding the holding of
a meeting of the People's Council for Peace and Democracy.
Park avenue a committee, under di
rection of Mrs. R. C. Hoyt, had fitted
up a pretty and homelike place from
the bare store room they found there
the day before. To a casual observer
it resembled a bridge party, with its
little tables decorated with flowers,
its rugs and easy chairs. But the
many American nags on the walls
and tables, the piles of registration
cards, the pens and ink bottles on
the tables, forbade any thought o
such levity on the part of the curious
masculine guests who appeared early.
Mere Man Envious.
"We have to vote in barber shops
and pool halls, but you have such
swell places," they murmured envi
ously. The busy committee ladies
only smiled and said they thought a
woman could lend a homelike touch
even to a nollinpr place.
The first to register at this place
was Mrs. Draper Smith. She en
rolled for settlement work and as a
factory inspector, with the latter un
derlined as her preference. The first
half-hour'.- work at this station
showed twelve cards filled out. One
woman registering early was Mrs
an Orman. 75 vears old, but she
said she could do something to help
At 2701 Leavenworth Mrs. Thor
Jorgensen and her assistants reported
sixteen cards by V:JU a. m. An un
usual feature of the registration here
...... a -vf irMifi or lirntriAn
who s trolled to help. Several high
school girls of 16 years old came
early, offering to do "typewriting and
bookkeeping out ot school nours.
Registration Notes.
The first school girl to slen up was Miss
Ethyl Webster of 10Q1 Park avenue, who
Bid ho would like to help "after school
hmirtt '
"W have found out women can do one
thinK they can climb high ladder and
put up flags without any disaster," laid
the committee at 721 Park avenue, pointing
ti the many decorations. These women also
brought their knitting bags along, but had
nn time to use them.
Every woman who came to a polling
dace was registered, even though she was
in the wioncr district. She was in the
"Harht church" anrued the registrars, even
though in the "wrong pew." Her card was
then sent to the chairman of the work in
faer own district to be filed there.
One of the first to call Miss Tobltt this
morning was a colored woman who wanted
to know if registration was compulsory.
Miss Tobltt said no, but It would be greatly
appreciated if she would. After a short
talk she promised not only to enroll, but
to. get some of her neighbors to do so also.
A few halted when it came to telling the
age, but not many. The thirty-year dead
line, which so many women fear to cross,
did not phase them and many boldly wrote
31 opposite their names. One proudly
wrote 75. Instructions to the registrars said
not to Insist on the age a woman might
imply write "over 21" If she wished.
An interesting feature of the registration
at 2701 Leavenworth, for the First dis
trict o' the Seventh ward, was the appear
ance of several young women offering to
do wireless telegraphy. They have been
reading in the papers how the army and
nr.vy is searching far and wide for radio
operators, who are as scarce as her's teeth,
and it occurred to them that this would
be the best way to help the government.
Lieutenant Thierrichens
Held Under $2,000 Bail
Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 11. Lieu
tenant Captain Max Thierrichens,
former commander of the seized
German raider, Prinz Eitel Friedrich,
was today held under $2,000 bail for

Long, charged with sending im
proper matter through the mails to
a school teacher at Saginaw, Mich.
Thierichens is in prison awaiting
trial on charges of smuggling and
violation of the Mann white slave act.

San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 12.

of death for murder growing out
of a bomb explosion here last year,

torney general, U. S. Webb, for re
versal of judgment and not on the
record in the case.

Anvil Arrives in San Diego Har

Fugitives From Military
Service.
San Diego, Cal., Sept. 12. Escorted
by the United States warship that
captured it ff the Lower California
coast last Sunday, the gasoline
schooner Anvil, with more than thir
ty alleged draft evaders and enemy
aliens on board, arrived in San Diego
harbor this morning.
The Anvil was immediately boarded
by Department of Justice agents and
other federal officials. All approaches
to the pier were closely guarded by
troops and no person other than fed
eral officers was allowed near the ves
sel. .
The examination of the suspected
men, it was said, would be started im
mediately, and until the completion
of the inquiry, it was said, no in
formation would be given out.

line schooner Anvil by an American
warship off the Lower California
coast to secure someof the men im
plicated in' the recent destruction of
the black powder magazine at the
Mare Island (Cal.) navy yard, in
which six persons were killed and
many wounded, it became knovn
shortly before noon today.
Four hours after the Anvil had
docked, only six of the thirty-five
men aboard the vessel had been ex
amined. What evidence the federal of
ficials possess 10 warrant their belief
that some of the Anvil's passengers
were implicated in the navV vard ex
plosion, they refused to state.
Under escort of the warship which
capiured it last Sunday afternoon
oft' the lower California coast, the
Anvil arrived in port early today.
Two well known Industrial Work
ers of the World members, it was said
by one of the federal officers, had
been found on the Anvil. One of
these, Charles Millery. recently
crossed the border at Tijuana. Mil
lery and the second alleged Industrial
Worker of the World, John Grit, are
said to have played a prominent part
in the recent labor troubles in Mon
tana. Although it was reported that
a New York man sought on a charge
of murder was on the vessel, the offi
cers reported that he had not been
located. None of the names 6f the
passengers on board, other than those
of the two alleged members of the

Given a fixed quantity you can solve almost any problem
in mathematics. But to solve a practical problem of truck
transportation you need something more. You need fixed
quality. Pierce - Arrow quality always has been, is now and
always will be a fixed quality. It is as reliable as the fact
that two and two make four. Pierce-Arrow performance
