made that immediate effect be given
the resolution. Secretary George l.,
Mccarthy of the association said: Dis
eased cows to which we object come
from dirty and filthy farms. It natuf-
ally follows that the dairy herds from
which most of them come, are dis

palling if it was generally known. The
farmers who are responsible for this

Heney Says Mon Of Wealth Have
Combined to Prevent Punishment "a
Those Who Are Most euiIty-lm-
munity offered to Those Who Havs
Confessed Calhoun in LimeIisht. 9

San Francisco, May 31-!A statement.
was issued at a late hour last night
in which Assistant District Attorney
Francis j. Heney, head Of the graft
prosecution, outlines the policy Of the
men who have made possible the in-
dictment of nearly score Of San
Francisco's wealthy capitalists. and
denounces as malicious falsehoods the
charges which have been made that
the prosecutors are Influenced by po-
litical motives. He openly charges that
some Of the most powerful financial in-s
terests in the country have been
brought into the battle on the side OF
alleged bribe givers.
Heney declares the greatest crisis ia
the graft exposure is now at hand, and
that the greatest crisis In the history
OF San Francisco goes side by side with
it. He charges that President Patrick
Calhoun, OF the United Railroads, has
sought the aid of the wealthiest bank
ers and merchants Of the city, to free
him from the clutches Of prosecution
and prevent his having to pay the PEN
atty for his alleged crimes. A meet
| ing was held q short time ago, he says.
at which Calhoun called together g
number Of the heads Of the Largest
San Francisco banks and sought their
, aid thru a thinly, yelled request for
backing in carrying on the car strike.
Powerful influences which he set at
work to injure the prosecution, HeneyI
says, have been hampering the prose-
cutors to q certain extent, as they have
raised a sentiment OF doubt as to the
real motives behind the investigation.
1 He calls upon the citizens Of San
francisco to give their fullest assist
ance to the work that is still to be
done.
! Admitting that sixteen who have
confessed as bribe takers on the board
Of supervisors have been promised im-
munity from prosecution. Heney de-
lclares this step is essential to carrying
out the work at hand. He states that
every effott to gain legal proof Of cor-1
ruption and the bribery deals failed
until the confessions were secured from
the supervisors and that to. secure
these promise Of immunity was given.
In answer to the cry which lhe said
had been raised by capitalists that the
supervisors shall be punished, he
points out that while the prosecutors
were laboring for months to obtain
proof concerning briberies, none Of the
alleged bribe givers came forward to
their assistance. but as soon as they
became involved they raised the cry,
