Creel Offers Assistance
George Creel chairman of the com-
' mittee on public information announ-
ed that the committee's machinery in
Paris would exercise nothing whatever
aproaching a censorship on the dis-
patches telling of the progress of the
conference All the committee’s facil-
ities Mr Creel said are to be devoted
to helping the Amerieau correspond-
ents get the news back home

val crew of more than 1000 officers

though no official announcement has
been made that the president will go

tends to visit any other European
countries his- plans have not been
jnade known ‘
English May Be Spoken At Conference
Paris — The question of conducting

In English is being discussed with
some prospect that tbls Innovation

language as French has long be'en
recognized as the medium of diplom-
acy For practical reasons It is said the
sse of the English language would be
store convenient to a large number of
the delegates than French for during
lhe sessions of the Interallied confer-
tnce all but two of the delegates
poke English whereas a considerbble
lumber did not sp'eak French and were
enable to understand the proceedings
When French was used
The prhlted record of the dally pro-
ceedings will be in both French and
English for the convenienc'e of all
and in addltlbn several of the govern-
ments probably will have their own
publications dealing with the develop-
ments '

Sacramento Cal — The sentence ol

hanged December 13 in connection
with the deaths of ten persons front
a bomb explosion In San Francisco- In

D Stephens to life imprisonment
The governor’s statement r'evlews
the case fully and quotes in their entirety-
the two messages from Presi-
dent’ Wilson in which the action now
taken by the governor was suggested
The commutation says the governor
reduces the case to the status of that
of Warren K Billings
"I refuse to recognize this case as
in any fashion representing a clash
between capital and labor” the gov-
ernor says and he characterizes
absurd the propaganda that would
make Mooney as a martyr to the cause
of labor
In support of this ' statement ' he
quotes a letter from Alexander Berk-
man outlining the plan afterward
adopted for the Mooney campaign Me
denies that Mooney is a true friend of
labor and characterizes his previous
record as such that It does not enlist
faith In him among law-abiding citi-
zens but says In conclusion that this
particular case has been decided upon
Its merits
