HFNEY DENOUNCES
PATRICK CALHOUN
Prosecutor at Political Meeting
AppIauded for Attack on
Car Magnate
Saws He viii Make Fickert ADJ
nit That His Charges
We're False

Two large and at times wildly en-
thusiastic audiences heard Francis ].
Heney denounce Patrick Calhoun last
him by Charles NJ. Fickert The first
meeting was held at Old Church. Ten
nessee and Eighteenth streets; the sec
ond at the South San Francisco opera
house.
The presence of a shorthand reporter,
whom Heney declared was an employe
of Patrick Calhoun, served as an in
PRODUCTION to his denunciation of the
president of the United Railroads.
Mr. Calhoun likes to hear all / say"
Heney told the audience in an explain
atory aside, and 1 am going to say a
good deal about him tonight, including
that 1 consider him the greatest scoun-
drel in San Francisco"
Both speeches were devoted to an
explanation of the methods of Calhoun
great applause. Heney's reception at
Old Church was especially enthusiastic.
CHALLENGES FICKERT
You know what the United Rail-
roads did to union labor Heney said.
and YOU know that the men behind
the United Railroads are the men on
the citizens committee that patted
Calhoun on the back and are now busy
patting Fickert. Now the returns may
show that more democrats voted for
Fickert at the primary than for me.
If this is shown then all l ask is that
Fickert meet me on the platform at
democratic meetings, and before L get
through with him l think I will make
him admit that he has lied in every
statement he has made about me.
''Fickert says that J. Dalzell Brown
c.1h he1 $40 00O To aid the crra
prosecution. That is a deliberate lie,
as Ffckert we'll knows, and as the tes-
timony of Mr. Spreckels, taken in the
Ruef trials, proves beyond doubt.
Mr.. Fickert says 1 have a Chinaman
cooking for me- Another lie. My
cooks name is Jennie Mcdonald. All
Fickert's statements concerning me
are lies. and I will make. him admit
1T if he will face me on the platform.
I'm regard to the case in which
was hired as a lawyer to oppose the
labor unions, I will state that L did
my duty as lawyer, that is all.
Judge Mcguire was my opponent in
that case and he will tell you [ acted
fairly and went to the court only to
decide a question of law. The Globe,
1 have learned from Mr.. Calhoun's
office. will come out in a full page
attack on me tomorrow regarding this
case. Do not let them fool you"
PROSECUTION SUPPORTED
At the first meeting Of the evening
Eugene p. Hourihan, an assistant dis
trict attorney, read extracts from
many eastern magazines, including
banking journals. in which the con-
tention that the graft prosecution in
San Francisco is hurting business was
derided. From the Bankers and In
vestors' Magazine of New York Houri-
han quoted:
Honest cities. like honest men, have
the greatest credit"

REBUKES CITY ARCHITECT
FOR MAKING CHARGES
President of Board of Works
Tires of Alterations

you should make your investiga-
ton before. and not after, giving rec
concentrations to this board, Mr.. Rix-
ford" said President Day of the board
of works yesterday to the city archi-
tect TT is not just to these contract
ors to change your mind repeatedly
about work after they have put In bids
on specifications you have furnished.
This board has had to reject bids time
after time. bids offered in good faith.
because you think things must be
made all over and bids received on an
entirely changed proposition. The con-
tractors have got tired of 1t and SO
have the commissioners"
The city architect had no excuses to
offer to the chief of the department.
The rebuke came apropos of Rixford's s
recommendation that the bids for an
electric clock service in the bond issue
schools about completed should be dis
carded and new bids ordered on a pneu-
matte system of clocks.
Yesterday was the last day to Aact on
the seven bids submitted. The lowest,
that of c. f. Webber & Co., was backed
with testimonials from many schools
of the state as to the satisfactory char
acter of their instruments, but the COM
missioners did not desire to run counter
to Rixford's belated assertion that the
pneumatic system would be simpler and
preferable. At the same time, not de-
string to injure a reputable firm, the
board refrained from rejecting the bids
and let them lapse by charter limita-
ton. It was then that, recalling the
rejection Of the bids OF the hall of JUS
tice marble work, for the school black
boards, for the galvanized work on the
infirmary, etc, Day recapitulated the
list of Rixford's changes Of mind, and
then added. Make your Investigations

mendations to this board

OCTOBER rs is DATE
SET FOR TAX PAYMENT
States Assessment Creates q
Vast Amount of Extra Labor

1t will probably be impossible TO pay
taxes this fall before October 25. Due
to the enormous labor necessary upon
the books as result of the 10 per cent
increase in the citys assessment for
state purposes the tax collector will
not receive the last of the roll from
the auditors office before the 10Th.
Extensions of time have been granted
by the state board and the state con-
troller, as 1t was realized that the
changing of every item in the 100000
tax bills and the book entries corre-
spending would neeessitate delay.
Deputy Tax Collector Low notified
the supervisors yesterday that the re-
ception of taxes could not begin until
the latter part of the month. The tax
collectors Office force has been work
ing overtime for month and as fast
as the books are received from the
auditor they are turned over to the so
men now working in the department.
Monday, October 20, is the date fixed
by Low to begin receiving payment.
In the auditors office the same pres
sure has been in evidence

sertion that it was of no consequence

This is no press agent story. Bar
nett Franklin, of the Princess publicity
staff. tells me so himself. Miss Olga
Stech, who is the youngest comedienne
and soubrette in the world, fell out of
her flying machine last Tuesday at
rehearsal. The mishap was witnessed
by many and Franklin says he can get
them to supply affidavits. if necessary.
The production of Dream City" at the
Princess calls for a flying machine. in
which the Soubrette must ride while
she sings an electric lighted song. the
airship, meanwhile swaying to and fro.
On the occasion Of last Tuesdays re-
hearsal, Miss Stech got dizzy and fell
in a heap on the stage.
you'd better tell the story" says
Franklin. because there may be many
who would wish that the tiny soubrette
would tumble again when the airship
swings outward over the audience.
The theatrical managers of San Fran
cisco have signifed their intention oil

GARRICk THFATER
CHANGES HANDS
GOttIOb, Marx & Co. to Assume
the Management of the
Ellis Street House
By WALTER ANTHONY

There viii be only three weeks more
Of the Cort attractions at the Garrick
theater, and at the conclusion of the
Cort bookings Gottlob, Marx & Co.
of the Van Ness theater viii assume
active charge of the playhouse which
Gottlob Will represent the firm as house
manager and Selby Oppenheimer will
remain in direct charge as the Car
ricks business manager.
THE Honeymoon Trail" The Time,
the Place and the Girl" and the big
success of many seasons, In Old Ken
lucky" Will conclude the Cort season
at the Garrick, and then. early in No
vember, Gottlob & Marx will assume
the theater to play attractions which
would have been given at the Van Ness
had the Columbia theater been COM
pleted. 1t is expected that the new
Columbia theater viii be completed by
next January and then the line of
Klaw & ErIanger attractions which the
Garrick is about to disclose will be
moved to the Van Ness theater and the
Van Ness bookings now arranged for
will be sent to the New Columbia.
A fortnight's engagement of THE
Three Twins" viii be the first of the
Garrick presentations next month un-
der the new management, to be fol-
lowed by The Soul Kiss" Anna Held's
-big production, "A Partisan Model
wright Loriner in The Shepherd
king" apd The Top of the World
So, for the present at least, the Prin-
cess theater viii have theatrical COM
pany in Ellis street and Fillmore will
remain a theatrical center.
Dd you ever see "A Drummer's Life
AT old Morosco's theater? 1 think it
happened about 1889. Anyhow, Charles
Bassett wrote it and appeared in those
melodramatic days in the role of Jackie
Einstein. Bassett has given up his
stage name and is now the advance
representative of The Ringmaster,"
which is to be seen shortly at the Va
lencia theater. His right name is
Charles Baswitz.
Bert Baker, the comedian who is be-
ing featured in the musical comedy,
honeymoon Trail" soon to be seen at
the Garrick, is g grandson of the origi-
nal Walter Baker of chocolate fame.
He is. receiving, so he claims. dividends
from the English enterprise. His father
became an actor against Bert's grand
fathers will, and was disowned, but
was reconciled before the founder Of
the British business died. At that time
Bert Baker was a baby and, in spite of
all this, his press agent maintains Bert
is funny.
The Ringmaster.' which is the next
production at the Valencia, was the last
play which William Winter, the veteran
critic of the New York Tribune, re-
viewed Winter expressed himself as
deeply concerned over the fact that the
stage was controlled by a syndicate,
and wondered how 1t happened that a
play like THE Ringmaster," which
preached the doctrine of the open
door" and freedom from trust influence,
could be presented by theater trust.

WILL FIGHT STABLE
PERMIT TO THE FINISH
Property Owners Plan Protest
to Supervisors

Protestants against the granting of
a stable permit to Charles Lennon at
Bush and Devisadero streets gave no.
tice at yesterdays committee session
that they would carry an appeal into
the board of supervisors next Monday.
The hospital committee decided yes
terday that it would be unfair to de-
prive Lennon of his permit, merely be-
cause he had had the misfortune some
two weeks since to lose his building by
fire. Lennon promised to erect a class
C building to house his horses. and
acting on City Attorney Longs opin-
ion that the mere destruction of a
building by fire did not abrogate a
permit, the committee were of the mind
to let Lennon go ahead.
