Francis ]. Heney has made of its
methods, and of its relations
with Hartman and the local
ring of higher ups, the Examiner
has been calling loudly upon
District Attorney Langdon to
dismiss Heney from his Office,
to demand an explanation of him
concerning his personal affairs,
or else to make a statement.
Langdon's answer to the Ex-
aminer is printed herewith. II was
given to the Examiner yesterday-and.
to insure its publicity. to the other
newspapers also.
The Examiner ought to be Thoroughly
satisfied. for there isn't chance in the
world to mistake the district attor-
ney's meaning. Langdon has made his
position plain. and he has done it
clearly and conciseIy. Heney Is not to
be dismissed from Office. he is not to be
catechized about his personal affairs;
he Is simply to continue as an assistant
district attorney in the work Of fight
ing for civic deceney and good govern
ment In San Francisco.
Langdon makes it clear in his state
ment that the wall of a stricken pro-
graft organ can not move him nor can
the attempt to vent a personal spite be
carried out through his instrumentality.
He not only refuses TO give heed to
the Examiners plea, but takes occasion
to express himself as thoroughly con-
vinced OF Heney's integrity and salts
fed from first to last with his work as
an assistant district attorney. Lang
don's own words serve as the best
commentary on the Examiners atti-
tude respecting Heney.
I appointed Mr.. Heney TO Office in
October. 1906. at the request OF Mr..
Hearst and Others" he says.
And there it is in nutshell 1t is
for some unmentiOned reasOn-One ,
which 1t AYERS only BY implication and I
innuendo-that the Examiner made its
attack on Heney. The alleged circum-
stances on which 1t bases It's attack
occurred long before the time when
Hearst requested the. district attorney
to make Heney his assistant. They
have long been known and were eN-
plotted in full months ago by the other
papers OF the gutter press.
But the Examiner took no heed Of
such things when 1T asked for Heney's
appointment. il took no heed OF them
when the other attacks were made; il
took no heed OF them until it's own in
terests We're touched. New the Ex-
aminer has felt the weight Of HeneyS

the Examiner its answer.

led by Mrs. Carrigan. For half an hour
they fought the flames which swept
over the dry grass in the adjoining field
and burned their way almost to the
veranda oi the touse. With wet bian-
kets and buckets of water the women
battled and not once did they pause
until the last spark had been extin-
guished.
Mrs. Carrigan's suddenly recruited
fire brigade consisted of Mrs. A. Tevis,
wife of the San Francisco real estate
dealer; Mrs. Drensieck of San Anselmo;
Mrs. S. P. Taylor, wife of a Tonopah
mining man; Miss Dorothy Sheldon and
Miss Gladys O'Brien, San Francisco So

the Commercial Travellers association.
The fire started in the middle of the
afternoon from cigarette dropped by
a stableboy who had fallen asleep in
the grass. The smoke, followed a mo-
ment later by a burst of flame at
tracted the attention of Mrs. Carrigan,
who rushed from her home in time to
awaken the sleeping lad The flames
spread so rapidly in the direction of her
house that Mrs Carrigan at once
availed herself of the assistance of her
neighbors. A bucket brigade was
hastily formed while other fire fighters
threw wet rugs and blankets in the
path of the flames.
For a time it appeared that the blaze
could not be checked and the San An
Selmo department was notified. The
women fought with determination,
however, and had quenched the fire
just before the hose cart arrived.
The Carrigan home is one of the most
picturesque in Marin county. It is in
the Dutch style and has always been an
object of special interest TO tourists and
travellers.

Saddest of all is the fact that the
action taken by the trustees at

famous first as the man who made
Mayfield dry, and secondly as chairman
of the faculty committee on student af-
fairs of the university which was en-
gagged in the controversy that so nearly
disrupted the entire student body of
the university this spring. For Pro-
fessor Clark is mayor of Mayfield, hav-
ing been elected to that position on
prohibition platform in the fall of 1904,
and having remained in office to the
present time.
A week ago R. A Stevens, proprietor
of the Mayfield inn, applied for a hotel
liquor license. No member of the board
OF trustees would make a motion either
TO deny or grant the petition until
Clark himself left the chair and made
the motion to deny. 1t was carried by
two~votes. three of the trustees not
voting. Tonight, with 800 townspeople
present to urge the granting of the
Incense, motion to reconsider the for

a stormy session that lasted two baurs

HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way in Which It May Be Identified
Before Using.

After a building has been painted
easy to tell if the paint used was made
of pure White Lead or not. But such
telated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What n wants is a test that will
tell the quality of the paint before it
and the labor of putting it on are
paid for.
Nature has provided a way in which
genuine White Lead may be positive
ly distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend a
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me-
tallic lead, and, under intense heat,
such as is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolveitself back
into metallic lead. If, however, it is
not genuine White Lead, or if it con-
tains the slightest trace Of adultera-
ton, the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test of paint before using
1T, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the blow
pipe" or any other test. To make it
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re-
quest a blow-pipe and everything nee
essary for you to make the test, to-
gether with a valuable booklet on
paint. Address, National Lead Com

AIDS CHICORY INDUSTRY.
United States Government Seeks to In
$ereSf Earpaars In lie Hlil&iua&ian

SSiSSS ] Al III no SOtSItdliOus
An increasing demand for chicory as a
coffee addition has caused the United
States Government to make a special eff
fort to induce American farmers to grow
the plant. See Bulletin 10, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Chicory is a root grown something like
the beet or carrot. and has been used as a
food In various ways for centuries.
More than a hundred years ago during
the Napoleonic wars, the continent of Eu-
rope was cut off from the outside world,
and coffee, of which the Dutch in particu-
lar are very fond, became scarce n
high in price.
1t was found that the chicory root,
dried. roasted and ground, made a most
excellent substitute. Soon many were
drinking 1t entirely, while others mixed
1t with a certain proportion of genuine
coffee.
These people found that it gave the
coffee a richer, fuller flavor, and that the
many were entirely overcome.
used by coffee merchants, and the prep
aration of it as an addition, to coffee
has become a large business, giving en-
ployment to thousands of men. Many
large factories in Europe and several in
America are manufacturing thousands of
tons annually.
Being as necessary an addition to cof-
fee, as salt is to soup, chicory has come
into great demand, and to supply this de-
mand the government is interesting itself.
1t promises an entirely new and profit
able field of endeavor for the American
farmer

BEAR TRAP SET FOR OFFICERS.
Surprise for Deputy Marshals in the

The gaping jaws of a bear trap is
what confronted Deputy United States
Marshal John B~lankenship, Deputy
Marshal George Sharp and others
when they made a raid the other
night into the mountains of Blount
county.
In the posse were the two deputies
mentioned and Deputy Revenue Col
lector J. S. Remine. They left this
city and went to the North Carolina
line, and there located a distillery al
legged to have been owned and oper-
ated by Uncle Sam" Burchfield. 1t
was in the fastness of the mountain,
and as the officers were just on the
point of leaping from the roof into
the little house Messrs. Blankenship
and Sharp spied the bear trap, and
crawled back.
They were both on the point Of
leaping down at the same time, and
had they done so they would have
been instantly caught in the trap. The
trap is said to have been one of the
largest ever seen in the mountains Of
East Tennessee.
Burchfield had escaped, but it is
said that he will be arrested; but the
officers in quest of him will look out
in the future for man traps as well as
bear traps.-Knoxville Sentinel.
