San Francisco. Nov. -9.
The death sentence of Thomas J
Mooney, convicted 'of murder In connec
tion with the bomb explosion which
Wllud ten people here July 22. 1D1C.
during a preparedness day parade, hav
ing been commuted to life Imprisonment
by Governor Stephens last night, no
ifurther legal steps can bo invoked In
Jtooney'a behalf, attorneys said today.
Mooney. who is an Iron molder by
trade, will be removed from the death
cell Which he has occupied In Kan Quen-1
tin Penitentiary since July 17 of this!
year and given emplomnt with other
prisoners.
Governor Stephens had the cose under
consideration since last March, when
the California Supreme Court affirmed
Mooney's conviction, and an application
for a pardon was made.
President Appealed
t !iin . which ie,l htm to
commute Mooney's sentence the Gov
ernor said he had made a careful re
view" of tho case and found no reason
why Mooney should escape punishment.
"The Governor declared there were "cer
tain features In connection with the
case which convinced him that the sen
tence, of death should not be executed."
" .Another reason for the commutation, lie
said, was President Wllson'i "earnest
request" for clemency. The Governor
siald he deellned to be Influenced by the
' theory that, If maximum punishment is
not Justified, pardon should follow.
' "It has been no uncommon thing." the
j statement read, "for executives In grant
ing clemency to entertain doubt hufll
clcnt to save men from the gallows, but
not that degree of 'reasonable doubt'
tjiat the law resolves completely In favor
of a defendant."
Jilany strikes had been planned for
December D by labor organizations as a
protest against Mooney's execution.
'Which was set for December 13. Whether
these proposed strikes now will be car
ried out, labor leaders hero were un
ijMo to say today.
Mooney Makes Trotent
f'rom his cell Mooney Issued a state
ment protesting against commutation of

today. There were no manifestations on
the part of the Peruvians nnd a crowd of
liss than 100 persons welcomed him.
It is reported that anti-Peruvian de
mands continue in Santiago and Val

details of the antl-I'eruvlan outbreak
there ar,d show that during the trouble
British and French establishments were

lending ground to the belief that Ger

DROP WAR BOARD,
IS WILSON'S PLAN
Baruch Is Advised to Ter
minate Business of Or
ganization See him in m'Adoo post
Washington, Nov, 29.
President Wilson has Indicated to
tasmard M. Baruch, chairman of the
war Industries bonrd, a dcslro that the
work of the t organization bo termi
nated at the earliest possible date and
present machinery of the board for
the supervision and reglilntlon of va
rious elements of tho Industrial Ufa
of the nation he dismantled and the
working force disbanded
This action strengthens the belief
here that Mr. Baruch has been offered
tho post of Secretary of the Treasury
to succeed Mr. McAdoo nnd that he
will accept It.
Speculation Is rife relative to tho
probablo successor of Mr. McAdoo as
director general of railroads nnd many
names are being suggested. There Is
considerable discussion over tho pos
sibility that V. W. Atterbury. former
vice president of tho Pennsylvania,
might be chosen, on tho basis of tho
record lie made In France ns the head
of the construction and operating
forces of the military railways of the
American expeditionary forces.
Thero are Indications that tho bulk
of the Important work of the war In
dustries hoard w(ll be brought to a
closo on January or very soon there
after. It Is expected that Mr. McAdoo
will retire from public life hhortly
after the first of tho year.
Tho President's action with respect
to the dissolution of the war Industries
board was taken after a preliminary
program had been started by various
branches of the war Industries board
for a gradual lifting of all restrictions
on Industries. It was propose'd to re
tain a measure of control over the
distribution of raw materials during
the first stages of Industrial readjust
ment from a war to a peace basis,
with the possibility that some sort of
similar organization as tne war Indus-tr'e-
hoard mleht be proposed as n

Tho Information that tho President
desires Mr. Baruch to bring tho work
of the war Industries bonrd to an early
conclusion was obtained from authori
tative sources, but If confirmation wcro
requlrod It would bo found In the
ourso taken by the bonrd In several
Instances within tho Inst few days.
The explanation given of the
'hanged policy of tho bonrd relative to
tho termination of Its -work Is that
tho President has asked Mr. Baruch
i handle In a very large menstiro the
reat problems of reconstruction, tin
impered by his present duties, which
deal chiefly with necessities of war.
Tho changed policy with respect to
Government regulation of vnrlous In
dustries has been Indicated very
clearly by the action In connection
with steel. On Novemhor 13, follow
ing a conference with tho steel men
here, nn official announcement by the
war Industries board stated that Fed
crnl regulation doubtless would con
tinue for an Indefinite period. On
Tuesday of this week the deflnlto In
formation was given that the Federal
control over tho allocation of steel
would end on December 1 nnd, It was
Indicated, all Government supervfalon
of tho trddo would cease on January 1,
Newspaper publishers who conferred
with ofllrlals of the board last week
we're given to understand by Mr.
Uarucli that the regulations providing
.'or curtailment of rending matter In
