 Then the adroit schemers knew that they had bagged their game. The three boodlers were put on the rack, and they realized that all was lost and that their only chance was to become informers. They made a clean breast of the whole matter, admitting that they had taken bribes from Ruef and that the mayor was one of the most "grasping graft CTS" of the lot One supervisor after another was drawn into the net. They almost tumbled over each other in their haste to confess.
 Thus it was that Heney was able to fulfill his pledges made to the citizens who had asked him to undertake the probing of the city's affairs. Before he began the work he had remarked at a club banquet that he could obtain evidence enough to send the mayor and Ruef to prison if he could have $100.- 900 to use as he saw fit. His remark was printed in the newspapers. and he was called before a Ruef appointed grand jury. He declined 10 furnish his evidence to this jury. knowing well that it would put stop 10 all further in- yestigation and that he would be dis credited. It was then that Rudolph Spreckels. the son of the sugar king. advanced the sloo.0oo and told Heney to proceed.
 Al that time District Attorney Lang- don had not broken with the mayor and his henchmen. They had helped him to his election. and he felt under obliga- tions to them. But Langdon was a man who would stand for no official crookedness. and when Ruef tried to prevent him from running the pro- fessional blacklegs out of town he re-
 belled and was ready 10 join forces with Heney That is the way Heney
 happened to receive his appointment to the assistant district attorneys off, flee. It was precisely what he needed to launch his scheme.
 Mr. Heney is product of the Pacific coast He is native of California and
 obtained most of his education in San Francisco. Before he had reached
 manhood. however. his health gave way and he went to Arizona to recuperate.

As a public prosecutor Francis J.
 H Heney of San Francisco has A had even a wider experience than either Governor Folk of Missouri or District Attorney Jerome of New York. The land fraud cases of inc Pacific coast were second only in importance to the beef trust and Northern Securities investigations, and the way in which Heney proceeded against those guilty of theft of the public domain was a revelation to those who had been accustomed to the laws delays and hindrances.
 Heney first came to the notice of the department of justice in 1901. He was then about thirty-eight years of age and had been retained to defend Judge Arthur Moves, the Federal official in voived in the Nome ring scandal. He- ney's argument before the supreme court in that case brought him into wide public notice, especially among the legal profession. Attorney General Knox. although he was on the opposite side. was greatly interested and con- fessed his admiration openly. He was so impressed by the lawyers ability that as soon as the government was ready to proceed in the land fraud cases he sent for Heney and offered to put him in special charge of the prosecutions.
 The result proved that MT. Knox had made no mistake in his estimate of the man. From star to finish Heney con- eucted the business in d masteTly fash ion. making a clean sweep of the well intrenched operators and putting an end to one of the most bTazen impos- tures ever practiced on the American people. His unqualified success m this matter made him the one man de- manded by the commercial interests of san Francisco when it became ap- rarent that the already stricken city was infested by the most constituencies band of political iriCksteTs known to municipal annals.
 So Heney was made special assistant district attorney of san Francisco and given full rein to proceed according to his own approved methods. His first move was to send for W. J. Burns. the secret service agent who had been his able assistant in the land frauds. This man had proved himself to be verita- ble Sherlock Holmes in the running down of boOdlers in the land eases. and

 He advanced rapidly in his profession and at the age of thirty was made att. torney general of the territory. He was exceedingly popular in Arizona, and if he had remained there until 1t was ad- mitted into the Union he would prob- ably have been elected United States senator. He returned to California. however. and practiced his profession for eight years in San Francisco with gratifying success.
 He was thus engaged when he was asked to prosecute the land frauds. He was not willing to neglect his exten. sive business. but he received guars antee from the government that made it possible for him to do SO.

 the colonization of Virginia is to be acknowledged publicly by the erec- tion of statue on Jamestown island. at the mouth of James river. The is land was in its present position when the gallant captain and his equally gall lant fellow adventurers sailed up the source, and it has remained there to this day, but it seems to have required the lapse of three centuries and the stimulation of worlds fair to do the business of commemoration as it should be done.
 So colossal statue eight feet in height and standing on pedestal elev- en feet in height will testify to the coming generations that we of the ear ly twentieth century made an effort to repair the neglect of our forefathers, who, indeed, were burdened with so many obligations of the sort that it is little wonder that somebody was over looked. At last, however, there is go- ing to be Captain John Smith re- vival. Those who make the pilgrimage to Virginia this season to look upon the Jamestown tercentenary will see and hear much of him. Those who betake themselves to the scene of his new world activity will have an opportunity to fill themselves full of him, so to speak. They may land at Norfolk skeptical as to the famous Pocahontas episode but they are quite likely to be converted speedily. MT.

Bailey is Victor.

The indications are that Senator
Bailey viii rope a reelection from
the Texas legislature. For months,
although he was duly selected by
the primaries for Senator, he has
been in the boiling cauldron and
the fiery furnace Of investigation.
He VII likely, as stated, be return
ed, but we safely hazard the asser-
ton that the proceedings preceding
his re election have taught the am
bilious young man n few things.
He has doubtless learned that how
ever big and brilliant, learned and
imposing he may be, there are those
who hold integrity above all such.
He has learned, too, that it is dan
gerous to stand politically at dag
gers points with interests hostile TO
his people and remain socially and
financially in touch with their in
fuences and their check books. He
has learned that it is not a safe or
patriotic ambition for a Senator To
want to be great and die rich.
Bailey has been for years a COM
figure in national councils
and public life. He will be so no
more. The shears have touched his
Samsonian locks and his strength
will never be what it was. He will
return to the Senate, perhaps as ag-
gressive as ever, but with a stigma,
a faint, spot of some indefnable
kind which will never be erased.
Men may admire his ability, may
hang upon his words, may applaud
his oratory, but the old Joe Bailey
will not be there. It will be a new
Senator in a new skin that is not as
attractive os the old one. Memphis
