DEMOCRATS INDORSE HRNRY
Graft Prosecutor May Make Race
for District Attorney.
Recent Criticisms of His Actions
Forces Him to Seek
YindicatiOn.

San Francisco. June 5.-Francis J.
Heney. who, as special assistant district
attorney, has had charge Of all the san
Francisco graft prosecutions. and whose
actions have been in the limelight for
many months. may seek a vindication at
the hands OF the people.
The san Francisco Democratic Club
has indorsed Heney for the nomination
OF district attorney az the next election.
Heney had been mentioned for the place,
but heretofore has emphatically declared
that he would not be a candidate. To-
day, however. ne showed signs Of weaken
ing in that determination.
There IS no question but that certain Of
the recent criticisms Of his actions have
hurt Heney. and his fighting blood has
been stirred. He believes he has acted
right: that the people indorse his stand,
and there is every likelihood to-day that
he will finally decide 10 make the cam
paign and get the popular verdict"
My decision rests wholly on the char
acter Of the other candidates who may
be placed in the ield.r declared Heney.
After my campaign Of graft prosecu-
ton. I would consider that I was not
doing my duty II I permitted the election

SENATE GETS GERMAN REPORT
huch Sought After Document Ex-
plains Wage Question.
Communication shows Certain state
ments Made Before Ways and
Means Committee False.

The report from the German government
on wages paid IN various industries in
that country was sent 10 the Senate yes
terday by Secretary Of state Knox, in
response to a resolution Of Inquiry pre-
sented by Senator Ia Toilette, OF Wis
consin-
This report formed the basis for the
heated discussions between Senator stone,
Of Missouri. and Mr.. Aldrich, chairman
OF the Finance Committee. regarding the
propriety Of any attempt on the part OF
foreign government 10 influence tarin
legislation. which the latter character
lied as ''impertinenL
The report consisted OF information
from chambers OF commerce and manu-
facturers Of Germany, and is intended as
a response 10 evidence furnished by wit
nesses before the Ways and Means Com
mittee as 10 trade conditions in Germany.
Discussing the wool industry, the report
says.
The statement OF William Whitman
that the wages OF operatives in the carded
wool industry are three times as high in
America as n Germany is incorrect
While the average wage OF a weaver OF
ordinary efficiency runs from S3.T5 20
$3.50 per week. this sum is often exceeded.
The probable difference in favor Of the
American workman is in the proportion Of
or 2lk 70 l. This, however, IS practically
equalized by the fact that the standard
OF living is nearly twice as high IN Amer
ica as in Germany"
The report adds: AT present there IS
no sugnr combination in Germany The
import duty on foreign sugars has been
fxed by international agreement. and the
difference between export price and do
mestic price Is dus 10 the internal rev
enue tax only. Prices OF sugar beets paid
by sugar factories TO German farmers are

On the subject Of hosiery the report

tional. The hours are approximately fifty

the paper industry are about twice as

upon which the final vote should be
taken, It would be possible that mem

abandon interest in the remaining sched-
ules Of the bill and fail TO be present
