Heney's letter was delivered at
Hearsts Office by special messenger
early in the evening When Hearst was
asked, before he stepped the plat
form, if he would answer the challenge.
he professed not to have received 1T. A
signed copy was handed him which had
been prepared in anticipation OF just
such action on his part. The doodle dee
chief glanced at the letter and said:
II may see fit to answer 1t.
When he had progressed in his
speech so far that it became evident
to the audience that he intended to
eyade the Heney challenge many voices
shouted loudly and often:
will you meet Heney? VIII you
take UP his challenger"
Hearst tried to get away into his
rehearsed speech, but the cries would
not down.
Are you afraid of Heney?" the
shouts rose in swelling volume. will
YOU meet Francis ]. Heney?
Then Hearst said:
"They say Heney would like to meet
me- We'll. I would like to meet any
respectable man anywhere. But no re-
spectable man would like to meet
Heney. He said he would pay the ex-
penses. too. Probably he would pay
co,opany fee. But he can't pay my
expenses with tainted money"
Then Hearst stopped. He had to
stop. A chorus of misses and 'boos"
cut him short. He again launched des-
perately into his regular speech. but
the jeers continued. He sought to talk
but the din overwhelmed him. Then
he suddenly sat down, refusing to say
another word. A moment later he left
the stage and stalked from the theater:

WITH SUMMONS
Receives Papers in $4,000 Suit
for Auto Hire as He
Leaves Theater

William Randolph Hearst was served
with summons to answer a suit for
$4,000 ,as he left the Central theater
last night. Deputy Sheriff Jesse a
Galland delivered the writ just after
the speaker had stamped out of the
theater followed by a chorus of 'boos
from the throng within.
the suit was brought by Sol j. Levy
in Judge Mogan's court, and it COM

the sum of $4,000 as compensation for
his removal from the Examiner build
ing during the fire of 1905 of many
valuable files and records. Levy furn-
ished two automobiles to transport the
property of the Examiner on the re-

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa, Oct. s.--John
Ouackenboss Packard, scion of one of
New YorlS.s oldest and most prominent
families but who himself was a wan
derer for over 20 years of the so years
of his life and who for I6 years has
been a saw mill man and laborer here,
has Just fallen heir to $4,000. He was
shoyeling coal into the boilers at
Stuempfe's brick works, where he has
been working for year at $l.50 day.
when he was notified by his foreman,
who read of 1t in a newspaper.
But Packard was not surprised. He
knew since child that when his multi
millionaire uncle, John @. Packard of
Santa Cruz, Cal, died the will was to
bequeath him namesake legacy, but
he did not expect quite that much.
Packard. though he has got the wind
fall, says he will not quit work. He is
going right on shoveling coal and will

Flight From Theater Hastene6
by Summons for Payment

With boots and ''boos,"
with Kisses and derisive
laughter, William Randolph
Hearst was driven off the
stage of the Central theater
last night when he failed to
return satisfactory answers
or, indeed, any answers at
ALTO questions regarding
his stand and the stand Of
his newspaper, the Exam
iner ON the graft prOsecu-
tion.
Turning and twisting
plain interrogatories which
the people of this city have
been waiting for a long time
to put to him, evading direct
reply and taking refuge III
vilification and chicane,
Hearst so aroused the indig-
nation of his hearers that he
was compelled to fly before
their hostile demonstra-
tions.
After denouncing the
graft prosecution, defending
William T. Herrin, abusing
Francis j. Heney-while
carefully sidestepping his
challenge to public debate
and grossly misrepresenting
the attitude of The Call,
Hearst had to listen to deaf
ening cheers for the public
prosecutor, a roof raising
outburst in favor of The Call
and jeers for himself and his
local organ before he found
a convenient opportunity to
turn tail and fly.

When the doors of the
Central theater were thrown
open at half-past z last night
a throng rushed through the
portals and in a few minutes.
every seat in the theater was
taken and the crowd was
banked along the sides and
back of the house. There.
were very few women pres
ent. Mrs. Phebe Hearst
listened to her son from a
box. In all there were about
1000 people in the theater
and another thousand wait
ed curiously without.

been the Central theater bill
