GREAT WELCOME IS GIVEN HENEY rAFT PROBER GREETED BY /?■•■ BUSINESS MEN y BPEAKER TELLB OF FIGHT WITH BAN FRANCIBCO FOE 3 Noted' Attorney Guest of Honor of City Club— ls Confident of Fa - i vorable Outcome -of 1 : Great Battle Over a thousand representative cltl sens of Los Angeles greeted Francis J. Heney, assistant prosecuting attor ney of San Francisco, at the weekly dinner of the City club of Los Angeles ln the Hotel Westminster at noon yes terday. Never was a public speaker given a more rousing ovation or a more enthu siastic welcome than was r.ccorded to the San Francisco graft prober dur ing the course of his two. hours' ora tory yesterday. , Cheer after cheer, min gled with repeated bursts of hand - clapping and cries of "You are right!" "Three cheers for Heney!" "Stay with UP.' "Hit 'em again!" punctuated his heated and eloquent recital of munici pal corruptions, and he was cheered to the echo at every dramatic rest fol lowing a dozen or more climaxes In his speech. - The large dining room of the West minster was packed long before the hour set for Mr. Heney's speech, and hundreds who found they could not get Ino - the banquet went away for . dinner, returning to hear the speech. By 1 o'clock the dining room was so filled I that entrance was Impossible. Crowds of business men, Invited guests and members of the club arriving late were ; forced .to stand between me tables. . j. • When " Mr. Heney entered the room there was a demonstration such as few men ever are accorded. Men stood upon chairs waving their napkins and handkerchiefs. From the thousand or more of throats went up a yell of enthusiastic welcome that could be heard 'to the topmost story of the big hotel. Standing even on tables, shouting and ' clapping their hands, I Mr. Heney was cheered for i many minutes, and almost borne on the shoulders of the crowd by the door to the head of the center table, where Vice President T. E. Gibbon presided, Judge W. J. Hunsaker, president of the club, being unavoidably absent. Receives Ovation | Mr. Heney bowed repeatedly, but it was Impossible to check the ovation. The cheering and handclapplng con tinued and when Mr. Heney was al lowed to sit down the routine busi ness of the club was quickly disposed of. Mr. Gibbon announced that Prose cutor Heney would address the club on "Municipal Government," prefacing his remarks with several compliments to the noted attorney. Mr. Heney then arose and opened his address . with a Joke about his name. "It had aft 'O' to it," he said, "but the 'O' fell off on the trip across the ocean. There are stilt a few O'Heneys left, however. I see ln reading 'Ivanhoe' there |Is | even ' one St. O'Heney." This produced considerable laughter, but Mr. Heney was not long In dispos ing of his Jocular Introductory remarks and soon got down to business. Speaker Loudly Cheered- - ,' .The occasion was one rarely paral leled ln Los Angeles. At times decorum was cast to the winds, and throughout the course of Mr. Heney's subsequent remarks the big assemblage cheered until every voice was hoarse. At times during one of the famed prosecutor's dramatic low-toned periods preceding a terribly bitter climax ■of accusa tions, the silence was intense, but when one - -after ' another , he hurled names, facts and figures from his mouth with a fearless and defiant elo quence such as can compare only with that of Roosevelt, the cheering was re newed, and lt seemed that the walls of .the building must almost tumble from the explosions of applause. • "Gentlemen," said Mr. Heney after the first demonstration following his joke had ceased, "if I don't talk. loud enough for those ln the back of the room to hear me, Just call 'louder,' for . I can always put on a lot more steam. "I want to say that this gathering ls the most encouraging sight I have seen since I began prosecuting grafters In the United States. I will tell you why. Municipal government cannot be successful, and I mean by that not only successful In keeping its streets and sewers clean but in a great sense In aiding and maintaining civic moral ity, until every citizen has a full sense of -personal responsibility and feels that it Is his government. Praises City Club "I have ' traveled from one side of the country to the other and have ad dressed clubs ln many parts of ' the . country, but Judging from the attend ance here today 'Los Angeles has tho greatest city club In the United Staes. This . means that Los" Angeles has ln the community a greater sense of re sponsibility for conduct in municipal ;'government than any other city in the ' country. *,y"lf I. attempted to tell you a tenth • t>\ what ' I know of municipal govern :;/ ment 'It would be necessary to • keep • you - here - a month of Sundays and twenty-four hours a day—that is, If I told - you' what I ; know of the corrupt side of municipal government." ..'.Mr. Heney then paused, smiling, and after a thoughtful silence added: "If GREAT SUCCESS CURING CANCERS Any -^ Lump in Woman's ISv Breast -Is Cancer lifi;^>--!T..: .--—-"•,- S ..-■ V j 'a3XM___XM_K___l__. _,_ , ■..'i -'.*>: , ... a -■-„...- v .-CAny tumor, lump or sore on the lip, I face: or body six months Is cancer.

", I would-tell yon about, the other aid* It would not take so lone." " _, 'M Continuing, he . said: • * "Under the teachings (of President Roosevelt the people have awakened to the fact that if they want a high standard of moral ity in' state ' and national government they . must . establish s and maintain. a high standard ln the cities first. •■: "Corrupt . - . municipal government means corrupe national and state gov ernment. :• It therefore • behooves us to study our government and to under take to find some remedy for those evils. Stamp Out Gambling "One popular move now on in cities Is to attempt to stamp out gambling. Another is to close saloons or have them licensed at a high rate. "These are good In their way, but those are evils by which the individual Injures himself alone or those Imme diately about him. | There ls a greater evil which fosters gambling, prostitu tion and liquor traffic. It Is found ln the attempt by public service corpora tions to exploit the people. "Street railways and all public ser vice corporations have an interest In controlling the government, and to do lt they must enter Into unholy alliances with gamblers, the vile wretches who live upon women's shame and the liquor dealers who control the low dives. , "In many cities the lowest dives are owned and controlled by the wholesale liquor dealers and not by the men who conduct them. For that reason we must take the government out of the hands of such men as Abe Ruef, for such men often have managed to get control of mayors and police com missioners. Herrin, Parker and Ruef "Boss Tweed once said: 'The people can vote for whom they please If they let me do the nominating." Boss Her rin learned that lesson by heart. So have Walter Parker and Abe Ruef, and the latter undertook to nominate the candidates of all three parties the last time ho was out of Jail. . "In the las| election ln which Ruef participated he made a fight to nom inate the Judges. In that fight Abe Ruef, with the consent of W. F. Her rin, nominated crooks. He went into the Democratic convention and nom inated the same crooks. He went Into the labor union convention—and let me tell you right here that while the labor unions are blamed for some things, the labor unions are the result of the public service corporations. Popular Government Inefficient "A popular government like ours ls the most Inefficient on earth. Does that strike you as strange? A mon archy is far more efficient when you have a good, benevolent monarch—but you are never sure of him. But that is offset by the fact that our govern ment is the best and freest government on earth for equal opportunities for all men. ■;: ;y "The railroads want exclusive oppor tunities. Others have thrived on ex clusive opportunities. We want to con serve them for our children, and we can do lt If we have spirit enough to fight for them. We'll- have a hard fight because selfishness inspires these men. • , ' •- » ; "During the campaign that gave San Francisco Its corrupt administration I n.ade a speech In which I predicted that if the people elected that ticket they'd send me to prosecute Abe Ruef and put him ln the penitentiary. • I didn't know then that a committee of prominent men back of the Republican fusion party had entered into a written agreement with Herrin that Herrin could control just the same if the ticket was elected. ' "I did know that Abe Ruef had a verbal agreement with Herrin that Herrin should control If the union labor ticket should be elected. "Ruef had an agreement of the same kind with • almost . every other - labor leader, Including P. H. McCarthy, one of the greatest crooks of them. I men tion McCarthy so that there will be no occasion for any one to say that I am working for the union labor party. I want to declare myself now as being opposed to all forms of class govern ment. •'.'•,."' Class Government Condemned "We haven't room for class govern ment In this country. We don't want any distinctively labor union govern ment and we don't want any distinc tively business men's party. The con stitution of the' United States begins with a preamble which says that all men shall be free and equal, whether It Is the man who carries mortar and bricks to the top of the building or the president of one of our railways. But there seems to be a disposition to forget that the man who carries mortar is free and equal and has certain rights for himself and his children.-;■■•".'.». i-. --"The deal with Ruef had been com pleted three weeks before the earth quake,- at a time when nine-tenths of the people would have voted against the granting of the franchise. "Patrick Calhoun, knowing that the deal would be defeated If left to a vote of the people, paid Ruef $400,000 in order to land the franchise. "Was Calhoun compelled to pay Ruef and the supervisors? : . . "Yes. It was this way: "After Mr. Huntington had disposed of the system the new owners watered the stock and then sold it to Calhoun for $39,000,000. It did not take Calhoun long to water the stock up to $92,000,000, but he found it difficult to pay the de sired Interest on this amount of stock with C-cerjt fares.. y.V:^. With Both Sides '• "So, you see, he had tb buy Ruef in order to make good. ' . "Why should the banks be clamoring for Calhoun not to be prosecuted, you ask. "I will cite an Incident which will throw some light on this. "One bank floated those bonds when Calhoun watered them up to $92,000,000. "And man after man who patronized that bank was taken Into a back room and told.that some bonds were to be floated and that he was to be let ln on the ground floor. "Those patrons still are standing on the ground floor, and they find lt pretty hard. ..'.}-•> "These men asked to subscribe said: 'What kind of a game ls this? You must have known that the real value of the property was only $18,000,000 or $20,000,000. You must have known how the value was supposed to grow.' "Thus they thought It was necessary to] bribe the supervisors to get the cheapest 'transportation •to get more profits from'the people. "Many purchases had been made In advance expecting a deal to go through when the fire came. I "Then Abe and Pat got together and watched the people's talk. i> m " 'The public will stand for it now,' said Abe. , r • "Of course ■ the • people would stand for' It rather than walk »or ride. on a mule through all the debris since the fire. ,-.•■■ •.'.■. *i. ..

LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 3, 1908. Wouldn't that committee have rushed to the supervisors and hanged them to the nearest lamp pout? ■-*- y % 'Now, anybody knows that. If that's true,>. why was the money paid Be cause Pat wanted to carry out the deal made before the earthquake. And 'If he had * not made: it" he never would have paid the $200,000 to Abe Ruef. He made the bargain and he settled the matter by splitting the $400,000 and pay ing half. And this fighting hero per mitted himself to be held up! If that's the sort of stuff you make heroes of, God forbid that I should entertain any hero worship. -•,/.•.:. "They have to do It. The gas com pany wanted an 85-ecnt rate for gas. Paid Large Sum "The valuation of the gas plant did not exceed $10,000,000 at the time. It was bonded at $30,000,000 and had to pay interest on that amount. And of course you have to make considerable profit per thousand feet of gas to pay dividends on $30,000,000 bonds when tho property ls worth only $10,000,000. . "Consequently they paid Abe $20,000 and got an 85-cent rate Instead of 75 cents, and they made $600,000 the first year. They paid $20,000 to make In terest on their watered stock. "Well, didn't Innocent purchasers hold the bonds, and haven't they been Induced by banks to subscribe for them? Certainly. So when we inter fere with Ruef we Interfere with gas rates, we strike at the $600,000 profits, we take away the Interest on the bonds. ■ "So with the telephone company peo ple. They got Into the deal Innocently. They had to make some more money, and If they couldn't get lt any other way they had to get it by bribing the supervisors. "They broke lt off by selling bonds to the people and leaving them to hold the stock. So the people who hold the bonds set up a howl. And they have a right to howl. '. v.,> Will Howl More "They will howl some more when our supervisors assume their rights and re fuse to pay interest on $10,000,000 wa tered capital of the gas company. "When I went to Oregon a Southern Pacific official attended a prayer meet ing and made a speech. "He said that Heney was all wrong, that the lumber industry was the most Important one In the northwest, and that big companies could not operate if they could not get big tracts of land. If they could not acquire them honest ly, he said, they would have to acquire them anyway. So he said that Heney ought to get out. " 'The Oregon homesteader should have the right to exchange his lands for any.land any place ln the United States,' was the claim of the railroads In the Oregon land cases. They also said that it would not be right to keep the homesteader out ln those lonely lands by himself, and that he could trade those lands to the railroads. Wanted Lands "They wanted the lands, and they would plead that If they could get htm out of those lonely places they could have the lands for their own usage. "After I had been before the grand jury and questioned as to what I knew In regard to Ruef, Senator. Perkins hade a statement giving Abe a certifi cate of character. "Perkins said that he had known Ruef for a long time, and that there could be no truth ln the rumors of Abe's alleged efforts to bring 1000 Chi nese disorderly women Into San Fran cisco. "It is true that Perkins had known Ruef and his actions for some time. "Think of a man, a United States senator, who will shield the character of such a man as Ruef from the public when It is of vital importance that the people should know the facts. "We must demand a higher standard of our public servants. We have a right to demand honesty in public serv ants, and what we have a right to ex pect from them we have a right to expect from our newspapers.

"Had we forced them to resign Schmltz could have appointed their successors. He had done the same thing before, when he had placed an ex-convict from Minnesota ln office. "No man among them would accept a bribe unless lt was Gallagher, and then only if lt came from Ruef.

He made every appointment of his own choice. "After the. election of Taylor we had nothing more to do with that. We turned to our prosecution. "Since the prosecutions have reached the acute stage, the fight in San Fran cisco to prevent anyone having over $20,000 from being punished, and to send every poor devil with only $100 over the road, this committee of bank ers and business men Is so stron that Abe Ruef, with his ex-convicts from the Tenderloin, is not a drop in the bucket in the effect against that prose cution. Ashamed of Citizenship "If you go to the court house where any of these trials is going on and see the crowd of thugs there, showing sym pathy with the bribegivers, you would be ashamed of your American citizen ship.

"Another woman was brought from Los Angeles. It was all-Important that the continuity of the testimony be broken and that could be accom plished only by removing Lonergan. "It was a dastardly scheme. It in volved getting Lonergan Into a road house and carry out a program that would result in his being arrested for criminal assault. "The plan provided next for the kid naping of l.uef. "Think of it! They wanted Ruef to submit to 'being kidnaped without his own knowledge or consent. "But Ruef is cowardly and he asked himself.

Boodlers Desperate "That, gentlemen," sid Mr. Heney, "only serves t - show how desperate the San Francisco boodlers have become and to what fiendish methods they will resort to get rid of those who are after them. Nat only would they kill Gal lagher, the principal witness, but they would murder all who threaten them, and the Innocent with them.

A few hours later the sheriff and his prisoner left for Arizona, where the cashier will be tried on a charge of embezzlement. McDowell left Phoenix ln July last and after his departure It was discov ered he was short about $2500 In his accounts. He was located ln .
