EXONERATED OF CHARGE
OF ATTEMPTED BRIBERY
Slot Machine Company Wins
Suit Over PromissOry Notes

The accusations made against the
Mills novelty company, charging it with
collecting money 10 bribe legislators to
defeat the passage of i bill adverse to
the slot machine industry, fell to the
ground in Judge SturteVants court
YESTERDAY when the suit in which the
charges were made came up for trial.
The accusations were part of the
answer of August Hansen, lithogra-
pher and owner of several slot ma
chimes, in a suit for $1,500 on four
promissory notes made to the Mills
novelty company. Attorneys Bourdette
e. Bacon representing the novelty COM
pany brought suit on the notes, and
Hansen, in defense, made his charges
and intimations of bribery.
He said that he gave one note as an
accommodation to the company, as the
latter was without funds and needed
some substantial asset to show its
pressing creditors The other three
notes he claimed were collected by NJ.
A. Larkin. manager of the concern,
who. according to Hansen, told him
that those interested in slot machines
were getting up a fund to bribe mem
bers of the legislature and thus check
adverse legislation.
When the case was called in court
yesterday no evidence was introduced
by Hansen to substantiate his charges
Bourdette e. Bacon showed by the
books of the company that the notes
were given for goods sold to Hansen.
At the close of the testimony Judge
Sturtevant decided in favor of the Mills
novelty company.

VINDICATION AIM
OF HENEY'S SUIT
Action Against w. H. CrOcker
Said to Be for Purpose OF
Refuting Charges
Formal Complaint in the Graft
Prosecutors Claim for DAM
ages Is Filed

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The formal
complaint in the damage suit of Fran
els ]. Heney of San Francisco against
William Fl. Crocker. a California mill
lionaire. for s250.00O on an allegation
OF libel, was filed here today.
Heney bases his action on an open
letter bearing Crocker's name, which
appeared in New York evening news
paper December 3, in which Crocker
defended his action in first support
ing Heney in the San Francisco graft
prosecution and later Withdrawing his
support.
James NJ. Beck. counsel for Heney.
said today:
As soon as Crockers letter was pub
lished Heney telegraphed me to bring
this suit. Heney nearly gave his life
to the cause of exposing corruption in
San Francisco. and he desires to settle
the question as TO whether or not he
conducted the prosecutions against the
San Francisco grafters in an honorable
and legitimate way.
In the heat OF the great contest in
San Francisco, many charges were
made by irresponsible men against
Heney, but when Crocker assumed re-
sponibility for these charges and gave
them wide circulation IN responsible
organ of public opinion HeRey felt his
opportunity had come to have a jury
of his fellow cOuntrymen determine the
justice or injustice of tho accusations
against HIM.
In San Francisco the graft prosecu-
tions have so divided it's people into
hostile camps that il would seem TO
me matter of exceeding difhculty 10
obtain a jury that would consider the
questions involved with absolute i'm
partiality. In New York. however.
there can be no selfish interest in the
issues that grew out of the San Fran
cisco graft prosecutions and here a
jury can be selected that can impair
tally and fearlessly judge between
Crocker's grave accusations and
Heneys account of his stewardship as
a public official.

A Handy Home Made Remedy
For Coughs and Colds

A cough or cold often comes. on
quickly. This simple remedy. If kept
handy will nip it in the bud. Although
inexpensive, there is nothing better at
any price. 1t usually stops a deep
seated cough in twenty-four hours, and
is splendid for hoarseness, whooping
cough. chest pains, bronchitis, etc.
Granulated Sugar Syrup. 1872 OF.
Make plain syrup by mixing one
pint Granulated Sugar and "a pint of
warm water: stir for 2 minutes. Put
2k ounces PineX in a pint bottle and
fill up with the Sugar Syrup. Take a
teaspoonful every one, two or three
hours.
None of the weaker pine preparations
will work in this recipe. Use the real
Pinex itself, which is the most valu-
able concentrated compound of Norway
White Pine Extract, and is rich in all
the healing elements of the pine. All
druggists have 1T or can easily get it
on request.
This recipe makes full pint of un-
equaled cough syrup-enough to last
family a long time-for only 81 cents.
1t is equally good for children and
adults, and has a pleasing taste.
Strained honey can be used instead of
the syrup. and makes very fine honey
and pine tar cough syrup.
