BIG BIRDS ON SMALL
- WINGS. =:

In the attempt to discover some
universal law of bird-fiight scientists
have disclosed concerning a number
of species a most puzzling paradox
perhaps the most mysterious OF the
enigmas that the subject presents. 1t
is that in a number OF birds and In
sects the size of the wings decreases
in proportion to the increase in size
of the body of the flying creature.
The Australian crane, for instance
weighs over three hundred times
more than the sparrow, but in pro-
portion has only one-seventh OF the
wing area of the smaller bird.
This curious fact is equally strik'
ing IL we compare birds with insects
II the gnat were increased in size
until it was as large as the Australian
crane and II the wings of the insect
were enlarged to maintain the pro
portion they now bear to its body
| they would be about one hundred ant
| afty times larger than the cranes.
It requires 1862 square feet o
wing area per pound to float tn
bank-swallow, but to sustain tn
tawny vulture, monstrous bird Il

eighteen pounds, has spread OF win

the trumpeter swan, weighing twer

MARIN AROUSED BY
EXAMINERS GUILT
Hundreds OF Citizens Stop
Hearst Sheet and Express
Their Indignation
William Kent, Noted Public
Benefact0r, Condemns the
Yellow Press

SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 15.-The at
tempted murder of Francis J. Heney by
Morris Haas in San Francisco has
aroused this vicinity Many citizens
point scornfully at the prograft organs
in San Francisco. and the blame for
the attempted murder is placed with
them. Chief among the graft organs
that are being excoriated is the Ex-
aminer. Against it and the despicable
cartoons which have been published
attacking the reputation and character
of Heney and making light of the
grave charges of corruption against
the rich criminals of San Francisco the
deepest contempt is expressed. More
than that. hundreds of subscribers Of
the paper have stopped taking the
Hearst paper.
In discussing the latest outrage
against the prosecution, William Kent
said today:
Il believe the attempted assassina-
tion of Heney was largely due to evil
atmosphere. and that a portion of the
press was largely to blame for that
atmosphere. 1 never took the Exam

Rev. Ernest Bradley. one of the fore
most Episcopalian ministers in San Ra-
fael. and a. former rector in San Fran
cisco, said that he had not as yet
formed an opinion as to the culpability
of the paid graft papers of the city.
Il always had the opinion. however.
that the murder of Mckinley was
caused by a vicious press. The press
has a strong influence, and
on weak minds the yellow journals
have worked and caused many criminal
deeds which otherwise would have
never been committed"

citizenship under tribute for service

L N McCash, pastor of the First Chris
tian church of this city, in sermon
delivered this evening in which he
mercilessly flayed the corrupt journals
and judges, and constituencies attor-
neyS who have combined to defeat jus
tice. He laid at the door of the graft
ring of San Francisco the responsibility
for the attempt to kill Heney.
After a brief eulogy of Heney and
commendation of the attitude taken by
The Call throughout the prosecution
DIR. McCash continued az follows
THE attempted assassination of one
of the bravest and strongest of our
public officials has caused not only the
people of California, but of the ma
tion, to pause and consider who is re-
sponsible for such crime. Three at
tempts have been made to, thwart the
prosecution of self-confessed grafters.
They have tried to dynamite the chief
witness, Mr.. Gallagher. They attempted
to prevent a verdict of guilty by brib
ing a juror. Both attempts failed. As
a last resort they have sought the life
of the prosecutor. Whether Mr.. Heney
lives or dies this last effort is abortive.
The public is aroused; strong attorneys
have volunteered to assist the prose-
cutfon, and justice will surely be meted
out to the guilty. Vice and crime over
reach themselves at times, and bring
upon themselves swift punishment.
The speaker then openly attacked
the agencies which he considers have
made possible the revolving conditions
in San Francisco today.
THE causes which have melted these
crimes are apparent" said he, they are
corrupt journals, technical decisions of
judges, constituencies attorneys who
seek to defeat justice and to delay the
enforcement of laws, and the indiffer-
ence of citizens to civic righteousness.
The good that will come from the
assault upon Mr.. Heney is the crystalIi-
zation of public sentiment which will
not be satisfied Until every criminal
involved has received his just deserts.
Rev. Lapsley A. McAfee. pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, in his
sermon prophesied that the very act
that has deprived for time the fight
ers for civic honor of their leader
would result in a mighty awakening of
the people of San Francisco. He de-
c1ared it would sound the death knell
of the regime under which the city has
bowed for the last few years.
At st. Johns Presbyterian church this
morning Rev. George G. Eldredge spoke
in similar vein.
"It is the duty of every man in any
situation where a conflict is on whose
outcome will affect the welfare of the
people at large to choose a side and
take up the fight in all earnestness,"
said he. "Indecision and indifference
are the worst possible evil
