By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, September 18.— Thomas J. Mooney began a new fight for freedom today, convinced it will end in failure. “I do not believe anything will eome of this hearing,” said the con- victed 1916 Preparedness day bomber, whose noted case will be reviewed by a referee appointed by the Cali- fornia Supreme Court. He had just lost the first court ekirmish, in which his attorneys had sought to have the referee, A. E. | Walsh, rule on the admissibility of testimony. The Supreme Court ruled all ques- tioned testimony should remain in the record, to be ruled upon later by the court itself. The referee’s hearing, expected to | last three or four weeks, is on a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in which the Mooney attorneys con- tend. he was convicted on perjured testimony. “I have a feeling that whatever relief I may obtain eventually will come from the United States Su- preme Court. That's my only chance,” &aid Mooney. PLAN SESSION HERE Electrochemical Society to Meet on October 10, 11 and 12.

THE EVENING RODSEVELTBAS NEW FORESTPLAN {Fletcher Prepares Bill to | Advance Credit for Con- servation, By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt is expected to | recommend to the next Congress a six- | point forest conservation program. | The Executive, in a letter to Senator Held in Death Fletcher, Democrat, of Florida, written | | some time ago, but just made public | | today by the Senator, said the subject was “near to my heart,” and added. “What I have in mind is a rounding out of existing legislation, supple- | mented by new provisions, and alto- Ml | gether something which will supply | an organic basis, so far as we can | now foresee it, for the next 10 or 15 | years.” | “It will be necessary,” the President wrote, “to provide for such things as public acquisition of forest lands, & | strengthening of the provisions for | making existing national forests and those to be acquired fully productive, | and in doing so to afford the oppor- | tunity for the relief of unemployment | and stabilization of local communi- ties; an authorization of the shelter belt (from the Canadian to Mexican borders to help guard against droughts); a well co-ordinated pro- gram of forest research, and, finally, comprehensive provision in a variety of fields for stimulating and insuring both State and private activities.” Senator Fletcher has prepared a bill to provide a working basis for the J.

Constitution day lost all of its in- terest yesterday for Alfred Joseph Shipley, 32, 1108 Fourth street south- west, when he was struck and knocked down by a flag pole in front of 709 Ninth street. Police reported the flag- pole and flag which were in a side- walk socket fell in some unknown manner as Shipley was passing. The injured man stated he would receive treatment by his family physician, CRAIG WOOD (right)—Tommy Armour —Helen Hicks— Gene Sarazen —Bill Mehlhorn—Denny Shute —Willie Macfarlane! Their names sound a roll call of tense moments that have made golf- ing history, when prime “condi- tion” and healthy nerves were at a premium. All are outspoken in their preference for Camels. “Camels are so smooth and mild they never affect my wind,” says Craig Wood, pictured at the right as he paused to smoke a Camel. Willie Macfarlane adds: **Camels are mild. They don’t get my wind.” Miss Helen Hicks brings up the feminine viewpoint. “There’s a delicacy of flavor in Camels that appeals to women. Camels never interfere with one’s wind.” And Denny Shute says: “I switched to Camels years ago. I smoke them constantly, without upsetting my nerves or disturbing my wind.” You'll Like Their Mildness Too! Such experiences with Camels can be matched right among your own friends. You'll like Camels too. Camels are made from costlier to- baccos. They never tire your taste, SARAZEN. “It's a very important point to me as a steady smoker that Camelsaremilder,” reportsGene.“They never get my wind orupsetmynerves.” STAR, WASHINGTON, legislation. The President and Gov. W. I Myers of the Farm Credit Ad- ministration have yet to pass on it, although several other administration agencies have indorsed it. The bill would create a forest credit bank with an initial capital of $10,- 000,000, furnished by the Farm Credit Administration, and authority to issue $200,000,000 of Federal - guaranteed bonds. The bank would furnish credit to individuals or corporations: “To ald in the liquidation or re- financing of indebtedness incurred for forestry purposes. “To provide for the improvement, protection, management and operation of forest lands, the utilization of forest products and other forestry purposes, “To provide for the purchase qf for- est lands and of other properties to be used in connection with the con- struction of forest railroads and high- ways. “To provide for the construction and acquisition of transportation facil- ities to connect forest lands with rail- roads, highways and waterways.” 30-Year Limit on Loans. Loans would be made for terms up to 30 years, with the principal not exceeding 50 per cent of the property's appraised value. “Adequate” security must be pro- vided. Interest would be at a rate not less than 2 per cent a year in excess of the interest provided for in the last series of bonds issued by the bank. Loans would not be made in any State where adequate protection against fire and other hazards was lacking. The bank would be author- ized to set aside $5,000,000 to insure against such hazards. 167,379 Houses Built in Britain.
