DEFEAT OF HENEY SAID TO HAVE
BEEN A PERSONAL TRIUMPH.
Ias*e in the 'Frisco Election Declared
To Mave Been Whether Public Or
licc Should Ik' Under Public Control
For Public Purposes, or Under Pri
.ate Control lor Private Purposes.
(News Mid Courier.)
San Francisco, Cul. Nov. 3.?The
election yesterday brought to an end
the bitterly fought battle of Spreckel*,
Phelan, Heney and their followers,
forming the so-called graft prosecu?
tion, for the election of Francis J.
Heney as district attorney of the city
and county of San Francisco.
Heney is overwhemHngly defeated.
His opponent, Charles M. Fickert,
while a young and heretofore compar?
atively unknown attorney, is a grad- ,
uate of Stanford University, and a
man <>t the highest integrity and char?
acter. Personally he has made an in?
teresting figure. Eickel is a young .
giant. He Mauds six feet four, was
on the Stanford football team and is
an all-round athlete. The result of
the election was in part due to Fick- j
ert's clean, high character, but thih
alone could not account for the over- j
whelming defeat of the so-called graft I
prosecution. Fickert, in his declara?
tion that he did not and would not be
i
long to or be under the orders of any
man or men in the discharge of his;
oftlcial duties, was believed by the
public at large. On the other hand,
the great majority of the people of
San Francisco have come to feel, it is
alleged, that Heney was no more than*
the privately paid attorney of Ru?
dolph Spreckels, and that the office
of district attorney would be turned
over to the control of a private in?
dividual. It is well known that Heney
and his law partners have received
large sums of money from Spreckel?,
who organized a street railroad to
compete with the existing company,
whose president Patrick Calhoun, has
been the chief object of the prosecu?
tion's attack.
The issue was clean-cut: Should a
public office be under public control
for public purposes, or under private
control for private purposes? The
charge made against the prosecution
was that Heney has been doing Sprec?
kels' bidding as assistant district at?
torney, for which he recived money
from Spreckels. Strangely enough,
the question before the .voters of San
Francisco in this election was whether
or not they approved of Heney as dis?
trict attorney receiving money from
Rudolph Spreckels, a private individ?
ual, and in return therefor acting un?
der his orders. To this the people of
Sas Francls&s have given an unquali?
fied answer by overwhelmingly defeat?
ing Heney at the polls. Spreckels
singled out Patrick Calhoun as the
principal, if not the sole, object of the
most bitter fight ever known in San
Francisco.
The result of the election today may
be taken, therefore, as not only a vin?
dication of Patrick Calhoun by the
people of San Francisco, but, in fact, a
personal victory. Never, perhaps, in
any American city has such a tremen?
dous onslaught been made upon any
man and so signal a victory been won
against such tremendous odds as has
been won by Patrick Calhoun in San
Francisco.
While engaged In the reconstruction
of the street railroad, of which he is
president, after it had been nearly
wrecked by the earthquake and fire,
the terrific fight upon him was begun.
He came to San Francisco some two
years and a half ago and found that
public sentiment had been worked up
against him. A strike of the car men
was started, his social and financial
postlons were attacked and his char?
acter savagely assailed. He faced dif?
ficulties that seemed insurmountable,
and before which most men would
have surrendered, but Calhoun never
faltered nor flinched. The industrial
troubles of the railroad have been
worked out satisfactorily. It was
sought to ostracize him socially, but
Heney has said that he was 'the Idol
of the people,' and those who attacked
him have become well-nigh ostracized
in the clubs and society of San Fran?
cisco. With his properties weakened
by the earthquake and fire, entailing
heavy losses In earning! and expendi?
tures of millions for rehabilitation,
with losses suffered from the big
strike, through the panic of 1907. a
financial onslaught was made upon
him that alone would have made
weaker and less able men surrender.
He has emerged from that tight with
the United Railroads stronger finan?
cially than ever in its history, inciden?
tally lending a helping hand to the
large Stanislaus Power Company, that
was In financial need, and annexing
It to the railroad company .while
those attacking meanwhile have by
reason of it lost In financial standing
in thu community.
The election just had is the final
culmination of a series of personal
victories for Calhoun. In the over?
whelming defeat Of Heney the people
of San Francisco have risen tip to re?
cord before the world most eloquent
ly their vindication, respect and ad
miration of Patrick Calhoun.
There are but lew men who could
have accomplished what he has ac?
complished for Han Francisco within
the last two years. Fighting against
almost insurmountable odds, he hatf in
fact won the entire people 01 San
Francisco. There are perhaps few
men so well qualified to meet the at?
tacks made upon him In every possi?
ble way as Patrick Calhoun. A man
of iron will, his physical and mental
endurance seem without limit. No
tax or strain nor multiplicity of them
seems ever to wear upon him.
Accomplishments that to most
would seem Impossible were regarded
by him with absolute confidence and
achieved with apparent ease. In men?
tal ability those who worked with him
regard him as a genius. His dignity,
forbearance and self-control through?
out all have been the marvel of every?
one. His home and private] ife elicit?
ed for him the love of his friends and
the admiration of his enemies. It Is
perhaps more than anything else his
dauntless courage, physical, mental
and moral, the fact that every one
knows he is a fighter, that has made
Patrick Calhoun indeed "the idol of
the people." In spite of the attacks
upon his good name, his character
stands out strong and stand, and the
people of San Francisco by their unin?
fluenced ballots have registered their
opinion that it is Calhoun and not the
graft prosecution that has been mak?
ing the fight for justice and truth,
high principles and true Americanism,
condemning, on the other hand, the
methods of the prosecution as un?
scrupulous, high handed and un
American.

HOOKWORM I I M> INSULT.
'?The South Is Repies? uteil to Be Fill?
ed with Diri Beten."
Atlanta. Nov. 2.?Declaring that the
gift of $1.000,000 for the investigation
and cure of the hookworm <li.-ea.se is
an outrage on the South, a slander oil
this section of the country and a "dum
dum" donation, Bishop Warren A.
Candler of the Southern Methodist
Church made a sensational attack on
John D. Rockefeller.
"It is to be hoped," said Bishop
Candler, "that our people will not be
taken in by Mr. Rockefeller's vermi?
fuge fund and hOO :worm commission.
The habit of singling out the South
for all sorts of reforms, remedies and
enlightenment is not for our benefit
and the too ready acceptance Of these
things on the part of some of our peo?
ple is not to our credit. Mr. Rocke?
feller would take charge of both our
heads and our stomachs, and purge
our brains of ignorance and our bow?
els of worms
"For some reason self-appointed
philanthropists have taken it on them?
selves to discover and proclaim condi?
tions in the South calculated to create
further prejudice against the States
and people of the South as to divert
immigration and to alarm the resi?
dent population.
"A great deal of exertion has been
required in the past to establish the
falsity of the many slanderous charges
made against the South, and this sec?
tion has not yet recovered fully from
them. Recently an outcry was made
that the Southern people had become
the victim? of a deadly disease named
"pellagra", which was charged to the
use of Indian corn. The disease has
been traced to southern Europe,
where it is common, and later inform?
ation goes to show that it was import?
ed in the i rsons of Immigrants.
"But the pellagra panic having fail?
ed of the expected result, now comes
a howl about the hookworm. The
South is represented to be filled with
a wretched brood of dirt eaters. Who
that knows the South can for a mo?
ment believe this?
"It is time the Southern people be?
gan resenting this officious disposition
to take care of them which certain
parties are addicted to. Donations
may easily, as dum dum bullets,
wound where they hit and leave a
mortal poison in the hole they make
after being received. We are certain?
ly able i.o take care of and to cure
our hookworm, without Mr. Rockefel?
ler's million dollar dose of vermifuge."
The bishop, who was consecrated
in 1898, is 52 years of age, has been
a university president, editor of a re?
ligious publication and has written
books on Georgia's educational work
and other subjects. Last April he de?
clared that the purpose of Andrew
Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller In
giving $58,000,000 was "to dominate
the educational interests of this entire
country, and by the bribe of this enoi -
mous sum of money they have alreadv
partially succeeded."

by the leader:
"Tin- region is absolutely unknown

teriee. We were anxious to reach the*
buried cities in the interior, aWhaagtt
tlie principal object of the fgurg*
w as to make natural htstoap I * life*
tions.
" . 'hen we arrived off the Iftttej fish -
Ing village of Irka wi? sent our * rder
ly Barob ashore with a letter tr> kfcf
chief, who came out to us. lr.nlead
of really helping us Wmt con?-pirin*:
with the interior chief of Ha UTS to
t our party up country and bsrve us
st i anded.
"Eventually we got away fron tx W|
with an escort of fifteen ssssj and
eight camels. We were both atOM I
and wore turbans, as the people IfcOffJ
? r.-clare that Christians only treat bass
to hide their horns. On the f'U< win*:
day the chief of Haura sent a Yie^f'ii
.uer with a letter to say that he 'voul<>
not receive us at any price.
"Our whole caravan su>pp< d 3un
boxes were dumped In the ? p? R de>
?ert, and we found what shfHtr we
could under one tree. We got cue
camp in a state of defense, and to* k ir
in turns to snatch a little sleep. ? The
chief of Haura proved most nhfi iced
ly. He would not send us out tsodK
and set a guard over us. Fortunately
we had a few biscuits with nr. out
this was practically all we hud foi the
week we were stranded m the d**ert.
"We were absolutely in the p?>wer
of the Arabs, and to have atterrpeed
a show of force would have beH o fa->
tal. Every now and again the Arabs
fierd pot shots at'us for atnu^rcent.
but never hit us. although they rlruck
one tree under which we sat.
"After five anxious days had f .issed
the chief of Haura sent us a final let?
ter declining to find us an esroO and
ordering us to leave his country with?
in three hours." The three of Us were
very weak, having lived mai?l> on
jam and biscuits, and the prc*pf?t of
a flight of 85 miles to the coa^i W9M
not a pleasant one. We ha<t> of
course, to discard our baggut;e. for
our escort deserted.
"I tore out a few written pag'* of
my diary, we concealed the two ? kro
nometers about our clothes, and, with
a certain amount of ammunition, vsere-.
prepared to bolt, our intention leing,
to get away in the middle of thp n-ight,
when our guards would probath be
asleep. We regarded it as almost eer
tain that we should be attacked and
murdered before we were ahle Is
far.
"We did not get away that **lght,
and to our surprise on the loUcwirvg
morning the local pundit Came out
from the town to reopen negotii liens.
The chief now demanded all our''eon
ey. in return for which he would pro?
vide us with an escort and cami\s
"Keeping only a few dollar- we?
handed over the money, and go the
evening 27 camels arrived. Some shots
were fired at us at intervals, tut no
damage was done. Having loaded our
camels we started on our return te.
the coast.
"The journey was terribly hot, o.r.o
we were ver^y wea"k, but we bad te mak<

three hours' sleep. We were ab?
solutely done up when we eventually
