GOV, STEPHENS California Executive Commutes Death Sentence to Life Imprisonment. SACRAMENTO, Nov. 28.

The sentence of Thomas Mooney, sentenced to be hanged on December 13 for the deaths of ten persons killed by a bomb explosion. In San Francisco during a preparedness parade 1010, "was commuted by Governor D' Stephens' tonight to imprisonment for Ufa. Court vnctlon--ip save Mooney rom the gallows 'was exhausted1 by: the prisoner, the Supreme Court of the' United- States having recently decided it could not review the case. Threats of a national strike In case the governor did not interfere had been made In various parts of the country and some time ago 'It- was reported that President Wilson had written the governor to see-that Mooney suffered no injustice. The trial Judge had also requested li new trial for Governor Stephens' statement announc ing the commutation, said that In i-onsld- ring the case he had hiid before him "the urgent appeal of the President of the United.

States that I. grant commutation." "Originally, in January of tills year, I received a letter from the President asking me If It would not be possible to postpone the of Mooney until lie could be tried upon one of the other Indictments against lflm. Inasmuch as an appeal already bad been taken to the Supreme Court of California, which appeal Itself acted as a stay of the execution, there was at thut time no occasion for action on my part. I take it that the President was uot correctly informed as to the status of the cuse." In explaining why he bail not felt called on. to uct "previously, the Governor said.

"The case as presented to the California courts was that of murder, without further evidence of motive than the impossible tenets of anarcuists, whose, symputnies ror the German- cause In the war are well known. Their wild pacifist theories fitted into the widespread activities of the Kui- jer'-s agents in this country. "A number of persons of pronounced anarchistic' tendencies were arrested shortly after the exptosion and or these warren Hillings was convicted and sentenced to life Imprisonment and Thuuns J. Mooney found iruiltv and son once to be ha need. "Ho long as nvenucs oi appeal to cue courts-remained onou to Mooney.

and he was availing himself thereof, I deemed It Improper for executive authority to. interfere." Red Flag of Bolsheviki Is Unfurled in San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO, Nov'. 28.
