Mooney Bomb-Throwing Case Being Investigated by Wilson Shown in Oct. 15 Gaumount Reels A few days ago the American newspapers carried a story t hat President Wilson had taken up the famous Mooney case and ordered a thorough inquiry into this laborman's conviction for the alleged Preparedness Day bomb crime, in San Francisco, on July 2, 1916. All the principals in this noted case, which has now become of international interest, are show-n in the current issue of the Mutual Weekly No. 146. which is published October 15. Mooney's conviction has been called "a most shameful perversion of justice" and has created interest from San Francisco to Siberia, because of Mooney being one of the leaders of the Russian freedom movement. His following in other countries is such as to make him of international importance and the President was told that his alleged "railroading" has a great bearing on the Russian situation today. As usual, news of a war nature is also shown in this number of the weekly. Camp Kearney, a Western cantonment, where 40,000 "Liberty Boys" will rehearse for the world's drama, is shown as being one of the first of the 16 cantonments to be completed. Fair young missionaries of the NewYork Bible Society are seen at Camp Mills, distributing bibles to every soldier who will accept one, as the boys of squadron "A" are saying their last good-bye to their friends in NewYork. War news, however, does not monopolize the entire number, as many other topics of news interest are shown, such as ew styles in early fall coats for women; our new ambassador to Japan; the man who invented the free energy generator and who clairns his invention will revolutionize all power systems and is more powerful than any imagination can conceive. This invention has created so much interest that Congress is now investigating it. Those who are on the inside of the secret tests which are now being conducted, say that '« invention will undoubtedly win the war for the United States. Little Rock, Ark. — The lease on the Palace Theater, owned by Epstein Amusement Company of San Antonio. Tex., has been purchased by E. L>. Brewer, manager.
