Says He Has seen No Direct Impro-
prieties Practiced by II.


Ernest E. Moores. in statement made
to Mr.. Rossiter, shows how The Audit
System was regarded:
Mr.. Moores states that he has never
seen any evidence OF direct improprieties
between The Audit System and employees
and officials or otherwise; that he had,
however, become convinced that The
Audit System favored those who favored
the system. and that it was significant
that those whom The Audit System ia
vored were promoted to higher positions
of responsibility or had transferred them
to other branches OF the work. He stated
to Mr. Stillings that he considered that
the policy which made The Audit Sys-
tenn practically supreme in the office was
very unjust TO officials actually in the
employment of the government.
Mr.. Moores further stated to me that
The Audit System removed or recon-
mended the removal, almost at once ac-
complished- of the supplies division from
the superintendent Of purchases. Cues
toned as TO the reason for this he ex-
pressed the opinion that it was necessary
for them TO have the supplies division
under some one who would acquiesce
promptly in any recommendation they
made. He further expressed the emphatic
opinion that The Audit System was
much more interested in the sale Of their
product and in their own interests than
in those OF Mr. Stllings, who had be-
come their client and was entitled to
their first consideration. Asked again
whether he had any suspicion Of i'm
proper relations OF any kind between The
Audit System and others. he replied that,
of course. such thoughts had crossed his
mind from time to time, but that n. had
absolutely no knowledge upon the sub
jet and could not express an opinion"

outrage had been circulated. Like the

turned completely around and lauded
Mckinley as the best loved man in the
world when he fingered for a few
days after the murderer's bullet had
found its mark. so the stand taken to-
ward Heney by the Examiner today
indicated cowardly haste to escape
the consequences OF its own deeds or
all the prograft press the Examiner is
held in heartiest contempt in Alameda

Expressions of deep Indignation and
whole souled resentment OF the affair

Attorney Abe P. Leach, chairman oe

that the ProSraft campaign had in
his attempt on the life OF Mr.. Heney.
DESPERATE CRIMINALS
Il believe the anger of the man who
shot Heney has been fed by the pub
Iished defense in San Francisco until
he was led to commit this crime said
Leach. The affair plainly indicates
that San Francisco has TO deal with as
desperate and determined set OF
criminals as ever confronted a prose-
cutor and Justice. 7 Consider the shoot
ing of Mr.. Heney in a court OF Justice.

thing, and crime not only against
him, but against the people he repre-

The just performance OF his duties
is the only incentive a right minded
public official should have" said Dis-
Alameda county. 1T is particularly
to be deplored that this outrage upon
Mr.. Heney should have occurred while

duty. Such a reward for public serv-
I ices is an awful thing. and in a court
