FRANK HENfY
ON THE STAND
A Witness In the Brown
KIDNAPPING Case
He Explains His Interest
In the Welfare of the Vic
tim, Older.

San Francisco, Oct. 2S.-Francis ].
Heney was called as a witness today
in the continued hearing before Supe-
rior Judge Dunno Of a motion to set
aside the indictments charging Luther
Brown of Los Angeles and K. Porter
Ashe of this city with the kidnapping
OF Fremont Older the managing editor
of the San Francisco Bulletin and Sc
cure his trial in a Los Angeles court
on charges of criminal libel preferred
by Brown. One of the grounds urged
in support of the motion to Set aside
the Indictment was that Heney was
Older's attorney and that therefore he
appeared in a dual capacity when he
examined witnesses before the grand
jury In the matter Of indicting Brown
and Ashe.
When Heney took the witness stand
Attorney Schlessinger for the defense
handed him telegram which he
CHeney) sent to the district attorney
OF Los Angeles requesting continu-
ance Of the Older hearing in order that
he himself might appear in Older's
behalf
Heney admitted sending the telegram
but denied that he was ever Older's
attorney. He said the telegram did
not accurately represent his motives in
asking for a continuance. He never
intended to appear for Older; the rea
son he wanted it to be Los Angeles for
the hearing was Ito see how Luther
Brown fixed witnesses on his own
dunghil."
Il know how he tried to fix them in
San Francisco" said Heney; Il wanted
to see the way he went about 1t on his
own dunghill." Heney said further
with great spirit that he was determin
ed to detect and punish jury f.xers
and tamperers With witnesses. even il
he had to lose every bribery prosecu-
tion to do IL. The hearing on the mo-
ton to set aside the kidnapping in
dictments was continued until We'd
nesday.

THE DAY IN CHICAGO.
The Business Satisfactorily Conducted
on a Check Basis.

Chicago Oct. 2S.-Little trouble was
caused here today by the action OF the
Clearing House Association in limiting
the amounts of money to be paid out
by the banks. Business was almost
entirely on n checking basis and it
was apparently normal in all direc-
tions. The banks adopted the rule of
not paving out currency in amounts Of
more than 800 unless the funds were
required for Day rolls. II depositors
desired money in excess OF 500. they
were asked to take cashiers checks
for the amount.
In all the savings banks the rule re-
quiring legal notice was enforced IL
the depositors wanted to Withdraw
amounts greater than 500. The rule
was elastic however and banks impos-
ed hardships upon no one. II the
money was desired for the payment
of rent. insurance policies or for nee
essary travelling expenses, it was paid
out promptly. In cases where notes
were ts be paid, the banks usually ask
ed that the notes be presented to them
for payment.
The only semblance Of run during
the day was at the Hibernian Savings
Bank. where many depositors gave no.
tice during the day OF their intention
to withdraw. These notices in the ag-
greCate however, were not of such an
amount as TO constitute a run. At
one time the Hibernian bank became
so crowded that it was found necessary
to call the police for aid in control
ling the lines of depositors who were
intent upon giving notice. but there
was no disorder. At the close of bus
mess all the banks declared them
selves satisfied with the business of
the day and greatly pleased with the
manner in which business men met the
changed conditions. Belief was ex-
pressed that the method used in hand
ling the business will continue but
short time.

ing statement was issued tonight by
the San Francisco clearing house as
sociation. through its president. Ho-
mer S. King: San Francisco has TAX
en- the same action through its clear
ing house as that taken by the banks
in the east. At a meeting of the as
sociation held today it was resulved
to issue clearing house certificates. and
put the financial business of the city
on what has come to be called the
clearing house basis. To carry this
into effect. it was decided further, that
they follow the methods in vogue in
New York, Chicago and all business
centers of the country. by making no
payments in coin except for reason
ably clearly legitimate needs of busi-
ness.
Checks received by members of the
community in the regular course Of
business should be deposited as usual
each in his own bank and they will be
redeemed through the clearing house
just as they always are except the
clearing house balances between banks
will be settled by certificates instead
OF gold. This is the first time the San

necessary to pursue such action al
though it has been taken several times
heretofore by banks in New York, Chi
cago and other important cities.
The local condition is sound and
satisfactory. We are iu the midst of
marketing one of the most valuable
crops the state has ever produced. All
up and down the coast We are in re-
ceipt of reports of unexampled pros
perity. With these conditions locally
our financial affairs are on the bes.
possible basis. Suddenly. however.
difficulties have arisen in the east and
banks there are finding 1t necessary to
combine their funds to protect the
credit of the structure. Demands are
diverted to the prosperous west which
must similarly protect its own COM
munity. 1t is hoped that these con-
ditions will not long be continued.
Meanwhile the people should aim to
handle their funds in a manner as
nearly normal as possible as this will
tend to hasten the resumption of the
usual order of things

Cautions About New Ideas.

THE ideas of a people change
slowly" says the Morgantown Post. !"
1T is nearly as easy to turn river
from It's channel as to change the
channel in which people have been
accustomed to think. The refor11er
would have an easy task If all he
need do we're to think out and pro-
claim what ought to be done. That
is the smallest part of the work.
Obeying a fundamental law Of me-
chanics, the people move along the
line of least resistance; and any eff
fort to lift them out of that groove
and set them upon a new course is
met by stubborn opposition.
Take West Virginia as case to
the point, Any other state might be
taken. but this is the nearest home.
Many reforms are needed in this
state, but they are hard to bring
about, because the people do not like
to leave the old grooves and try new
experiments. That was seen, and is
still seen, in the tax reform move
ment. Many of our statesmen, since
and including Governor Jackson, saw
the need of change. They knew that
we were in rut and ought to get
out; but the people were slow to see
it. What was good enough for their
fathers was good enough for them.
1t was easier to stay in the rut than
to leave 1t.
I'VE have in West Virginia many
men who see clearly what our state
needs" the Post continues, but
these men are too fe VITO accomplish
the reforms while the great masses
of the people are Indifferent or hos
tile, and SO wrapped in the moss of
conservatism that they are deaf to
the voices of the prophets Of prog
ress who are toiling early and late
in the missionary field for the peo-
pies good
In pointing out several OF the new
ideas that have been promulgated in
this state recently the Post has the
following to say about one which the
Telegram has advocated and that is
the state railroad commission, a
thing which this paper has contend
ed, and continues to do so. would be
Of great benefit and service to the
state. 1t is an idea that cannot be

alleged leaders Of the Democratic
party.
Can It be possible from this that
the Democrats OF clarksburg are
ashamed OF their name, or does it
mean that the few at the head of the
movement are sailing under false
colors. with the hope that the peo-
pie win not disrobe them and show
them up in their true colors?
1t is also absolute proof of Harvey
W. Harmer's party perady. He
strays away from his own party, the
one that has repeatedly honored him
and elevated him to office, and takes
up with bunch of fellows, who
have been enemies of the Republican
party ever since they arrived at the
state Of accountability, and are now
sailing under false name for a
single purpose, namely, to defeat the
Republican party and get into Office
themselves. In substantiation of
their intent aud design, It may be
said most truthfully that were the
Republican party down and out in
Clarksburg and Harrison county,
these fellows would not be found
wearing the name of peoples reform
party. They would break their
necks to stand out and proclaim
themselves Democrats. Nor, would
they longer tolerate Harmer.
These are the conditions and the
situation as they exist, and there can
be no truthful or honest denial of
them. VIII either honest Repub-
licans or honest Democrats have pa
thence with such trick? Repub-
licans see clearly what the game is
and Democrats are angry that the
name of their party and colors
should be trailed in the mire in such
a dishonest political manner. In
deed, what could be more humiliat-
ing to Democrat, one from princi-
lie and not from desire to get office
and power, than for those who have
posed as its leaders to give out the
impression that there are no Demo-
Gratis any more in Clarksburg? And
what could make them madden than
the action of those entrusted to lead
ership, in attempts to undermine and
destroy the party by failure to even
try to keep up and intact the party
organization?
Not at all strange is it that so
many Democrats say the peoples re-
form party is rotten piece of bust
ness, which every honest and self
respecting man ought to stamp with
his disapproval. -

Hypocrisy is Proved.

The peoples reform party is so
filled with hypocrisy that 1t is more
than apparent. In addition to the
miserable failures made to carry out
its pledges, among which failures is
the prominent fact that it processes
TO be against saloons and other Ii
censed business, 1t elected men who
really endorse saloons by official ac-
ton and yho wink at a number of
flagrant violations of law, this so
called party is sailing under false
colors in name.
1t is a well known fact that the
two or three men who are officially
at the cad of this so-called party
are dyed in Democracy. They have
been Democrats all their lives. They
professed last spring to belong to
another than the Democratic party,
but Just six months afterward, when
the general election came on, they
were found actively engaged in the
deliberations and defense of the
Democratic party. This is conclus-
sive of the fact that the so-called
peoples reform party is wolf in
Sleeps clothing, so to speak. This
proves the hypocrisy of that alleged
political party.
But the thinking man does not
stop at that. He comes still nearer
the present and his disgust at their
pretensions knows no bounds, when
ne examines the list of election Of
commissioners and challeng-
ers-that so-called party, assuming
itself to be party, recommended to
the city council for appointment, un-
der the claim that it had that right.
Every one of them is a Democrat,
deep-dyed in the wool, never was
other than Democrat and it is safe
to say never will be any thing else.
Indeed, some of them are right now

West Virginia oil has jumped
twenty cents in price the past thirty
days. That bears out the idea ad-
vanced shortly ago by the Telegram
that activity would be stimulated in
the oil and gas districts of Harrison
county. Certainly with oil climb
ing toward the two-dollar mark so
fast, there will be renewed develop
ment, and with gas in such great de-
mand more gas wells will be drill
ed. The truth is the outlook is that
the oil and gas fields of Harrison
county will be utilized more than
ever before. and, where the develop
ment has been for only the choice
stuff, there will be activity in COM
plete development of those fields
though the find may not be so great
in quantity as heretofore. With
this outlook there is certainly
ground for greater encouragement
in commercial circles that the pros
perity Of the county will be even
greater than 1t is now.
