 HENEY
Former Arizona Officials Con nection With Frisco Graft Interesting = Making Good Charges Against Ruef,

PHOENIX. Nov 21.-Few cifies out side Of San Francisco are watching the prosecution of Mayor Schmitz and Abe Ruef for grating as closely as Phoenix, the people of which are deeply interested because of the prom inent part Francis J. Heney is taking
 Since being attorney general of Ali Zona, Heney has gained a national reputation as prober of grating, the success which has followed his ei. forts being marked by the landing of several culprits in the penintentiary.
 While in Arizona Heney became well known because of the sensa- uonalism that marked his official acts, though he gave no evidence at that time of becoming one of the fore most graft investigators in the couE- try.
 In Arizona Heney was considered by many to care more for the effect that h2 made on the grand stand than for any desire to seriously unearth cor ruption and bring the guilty parties to account for their acts.
 Through Heney's efforts Schmitz and Ruef have already been branded as municipal grafters on a scale that almost rivals that which has brought odium upon public officials in New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis aud otner cities during the past few yecrs.
 Not all fhe people know that Rusr and Heney are bitter personal enc mics, and all because when they first clashed Ruef forced Heney ts leave San Francisco in haste, and take a trip east
 In municipal campaign in San Francesca several months ago Hyney rem the public platform chareei Ruef with being a grafter stating that he had evidence that wouIi send Tim to the penitentiary.
 Ruef denied the charge aud c.iIed upon Heney to prove the statement he had made. Heney had to adlni, then that he did nor have the goods. but had based his charges on &hat had been told him by others. He lcr; San Francisco the next day.
 Heney'5 connection with the r-csant investigation has been largely one Of bis own request that he be permitted To assist District Attorney WiidG.n H. Langdon in sending Rues and nls gang to San Quinten.
 If Hsney succeeds in branding Ruef as municipal looter, anf gets tln behind prison bars. it Viii Ce q y.n- dicatioE of the statements le made several months ago. and which at the time he was unable to prove.
 The indictment of Ruef and SchmitZ is said 10 be but the forerunner uf the criminality that Heney has un- 1aIthed in San Francisco. Before the end is reached il is promised that he will bring to account a large num- Der Of public officials in San Fran cisco who have shared in the spoila- ton Of that city.
 The discovery that Schmitz has mis- appropriated hundreds of thousands of dollars that were sent him to dis. tribute among the needy as result of the earthquake and fire last April has stirred the whole country.
 It is possible that some of the mo- ney sent from Phoenix and other cities in Arizona with such liberality went into the pockets of Mayor SchmitZ instead of the people who were without homes or enough 10 eat
 San Francisco officials are said 10 have gathered some of their data in Phoenix and o.her Arizona cities in their effort 70 check up the amounts Schmitz received and wbat he did with the money. much of which was sent him through Wells Fargo and Io- cal banks.
