special blank has been prepared for the
work and 1 900, 900 copies lave been printed.

give the Department Of Education full In
formation regarding the children so re-
corded. The schedule will also show

toward taking a school census, although a
State law requires that one be taken every

quoted as giving uttcrance to these
words:
Perhaps outsiders do not realize
how desperate and bold the conspira-
tors have become. Nearly all self
respecting men in the city are behind
Heney, yet he may be overwhelmed.
Those who are opposed to him are vim
dictive, desperate, and no one knows
how strong. A coterie Of men, myself
included, supplied him with what
money he needs to push the investi-
cation. People who have taken an in
terest In politics are being driven to
1t by the recent outbreak, the like of
which has not been seen since the
days Of the last vigilance committee.
Ruef's bold grab at the district attor.
ney's Office is a practical admission of
guilt. Men, women and children in all
the bay cities are holly against him.
Public feeling is wrought to such a
pitch that, should violence be done

short of death of the perpetrators.
Heney is brave man. He well knows
every time he walks into the court
