SAN FRANCISCO, July 30 (/).—The testimony of John MacDonald, Balti- more walter, that he perjured himself at the Mooney-Billlhgs preparedness parade bombing trials, was before the California Supreme Court as the seven fustices prepared to delve further into e matter today. MacDonald _testified yesterday his identification of Thomas J. Mooney and Warren K. Billings as the two men he saw place a bomb at Steuart and Market streets July 22, 1916, was false. He gave a troubled Conscience as his Teason for appearing before the justices to testify he had been “coached” to Mooney and Billings as the Both are serving life terms | Frequent charges have been made for years that the two men were “rail- Toaded” to prison because of their ac- tivities on behalf of organized labor. A street railway strike was in progress at the time of the bombing. The# justices are considering Billings’ application for a recommendation for pardon. Mooney. meanwhile, has ap-| plied to Gov. C. C. Young for pardon. * MacDonald was questioned four hours and insisted he was telling the truth and branded his testimony in the Mconey-Billings cases_as “a bunch of Ji-s” which former.

Di Leo, former attorney of | the Department of Justice and now operating a golf driving course at Sid- | well’s Field, in the 3900 block of Wis- | consin avenue, was sued yesterday in| the District Supreme Court for a dis- golution of Partnership by William A.| Gallagher(_assistant United States at- torney, and John H.

ROOSEVELT NAMED T01SLAND OFFIGE | President Gives Him Recess Appointment to Post in Philippines. In the face of opposition from pro- ponents of Philippine independence, President _ Hoover yesterday gave Nicholas Roosevelt of New York. a Tecess appolitment as Vice Governor of the Philippine Islands. The New York man, who is a second cousin _of Gov. Theodore Roosevelt of Porto Rico, now is an editorial writer on the New York Times. He has writ- ten a book upon the Philippine prob- lems and has made & lengthy study of Far East conditions. After his nomination was sent to the Senate, leaders in the Philippine move- | ment attacked his views and urged his rejection, Pedro Guevara, the Resident Commissioner in Washington; the President of the Philippine Senate and | the Speaker of the Philippine House, who was a member of the commission which appeared before Congress at the | last session to urge independence, sub- mitted their opposition. The Senage then declined to act upon the nomination until hearings had been held at the next session of Congress. “I have tendered Mr. Roosevelt an interim_aj intment as Vice ‘Governor of the Philippines,” the President said. “Mr. Roosevelt has been so staunch in his support of the interests of the Philippine people and so sympathetic | with them, so enthusiastic cver their progress, that 1 am sure that the mis- understanding which has arisen in the Philippines as to his attitude will be | quickly cleared up.” FILIPINOS PROTEST.
