WORKMEN OVERSTAY
RECESS FOR HENEY
Graft Prosecutor Addresses Two
Enthusiastic Meetings

Francis J. Heney held two midday
meetings yesterday at which he ad-
dressed interested and enthusiastically
sympathetic audiences. His talks were
OF a conversational nature at both
places and of the man TO man sort, in
stead of set arguments. He talked
briefly along the lines concerned with
the general principles of his campaign
and the essentials of good government
for which he stands.
The first meeting was at u o'clock
in the building of the Methodist book
concern at 5 City Hall avenue, where
he was invited TO address the employees.
He spoke for 20 minutes and then hur-
ried TO Sixteenth and Folsom streets,
where he held an outdoor meeting that
drew a big crowd of listeners from the
neighboring factories. He began talk
ing at 1880 and ran beyond the l
O'Clock end of the noon hour, but so
interested were his auditors that they
asked him to continue, and many waited
until the end, despite the fact it meant
a late return to work.
Heney talked briefly of the graft
situation in San Francisco and OF the
manner in which the district attorney s
office had been conducted under the
Langdon administration, and then gave
his attention to answering some of the
attacks of his opponent. He denied
Fickert's charge that he had Chinese
cook in his home and called attention
TO the fact that Fickert banners deco
rate many of the Chinese and Japanese
stores of Chinatown. He declared that
the oriental labor question had been
raised deliberately against him without
foundation, and that this was done by
Fickert in an effort to draw attention
from his own record as friend OF the
Ianauese

COMMISSION RESUMES
RENO RATE HEARING
Shippers. and Railroad Both
Offer Mass of Evidence

RENO, New, Oct. 25.-Beginning this
morning at 10 o'clock Renos fight for
terminal rates again reopened in this
city with five members of the inter-
state commerce commission present.
A statement of the case and the con-
tention of the Nevada shipperss was
made by Judge H. +. Bartine, chairman
of the Nevada commission.
The first witness called was II. A..
Jones, Southern Pacific official. Jones
had been previously cross examined by
Judge Bartine at Salt Lake and at that
time ii was agreed that the cross ex-
animation should be concluded here.
Jones was examined by Mr. Bartine in
regard TO terminal rates being enjoyed
by different California points and the
amount of tonnage of freight shipped
to Nevada from different eastern points
Secretary Walker of the Nevada rail-
road commission gave volume of data
concerning the net income of opera
tions of the Southern Pacific company
The afternoon session was occupied
by the introduction of testimony on
behalf of the Nevada petitioners by
Prof. Henry Thurtell of the Nevada
railroad commission and the presenta-
tion of statistics on behalf of the rail-
road through J.. X. Butler, in charge Of
statistical work of the Southern Pacific
One of the striking developments
from the exhibitions introduced was
that the rate on westbound freight
from all eastern points averaged 6S.5
per cent higher than the corresponding
rates in the opposite direction.
