of 1870. He was rs years old.
Mr.. Neece was first elected to con-
Sress on the democratic ticket in the

owing to the famous Marsh-McLaugh-
rey political feud in the republican
party which tore the party open from
one end of the district to the other,
Mr.. Neece was successful. Marsh was
nominated in bitter fight Nc

den of the Joliet penitentiary. and later
was made superintendent of police in
Chicago. He is now in charge of the
federal prison at Leavenworth. Kan.
Mr.. Marsh remained in the dietrict and
attended to his knitting. was even
tually reelected to congress and uheli
his seat until his death, with the ex-
ception of one term.
Neece Twice Elected.
Mr.. Neece was twice elected, Major
H. c. Connolly of this city being a
candidate for the nomination the first
time that Neece was chosen
and the second time, Mr.. Neece
received the nomination unanimously
In the second campaign, the stings of
the Marsh-McLaughrey fight remained
and although neutral candidate was
nominated by the republicans. Mr.
Neece was reelected In his candi
dacy for third term, Hon. W. II: Ges

REAL BOSS IN EAST
Francis J. Heney, Frisco Graft Prose-
cutor, Makes Reference to
Hartman.
ABE RUFF BUT HIS PUPPET
Effects of Southern Pacific Railroads
influence Declared to Have
Been Bad.

Philadelphia. Jan. AT the long
table luncheon of the city club here
Saturday Francis j. Heney of San
Francisco who prosecuted the graft"
cases in that city, declared that E. II.
Hartman of New York through his
control of the Southern Pacific rail
road was responsible for the graft
and corruption that has been found
in the Golden Gate city. With Abe
Rueff and Hartman was linked the
ton of San Francisco by Mr.. Heney
but the real boss he said sits in New
York and has as one of his chief
agents in California, W. F. Harrin,
general counsel of the Southern Pa
cfic railroad.
Openly Accuses Hartman.
After telling of the various ele-
ments which he alleged united to
corrupt public officials in San Fran
cisco, Heney said:
'In this unholy alliance the boss
was the connecting link but he was
simply the agent of the real boss-the
| big business man who wanted to ex
plot the public service corporation
| The political boss was really the
young duck in the pond, behind was
| the public service corporation and
! the Southern Pacific railroad.
According to my deduction the head
! of the legal department of the South
ern Pacific railroad w. Il. Herrin wa.
the boss behind the apparent boss. Bu
III am convinced that Herrin was aftel
all the tool of the actual boss-Harri
man.
Applause Follows Dazc.
For a moment the auditors sat dazet
I by the daring character of this indict
ment then burst into prolonged ap
plause.,

by Ruef but was due to the fact tina
