EXPENDITURES
IN GRAFT WAR
FREELY SHOWN
Spreckels Produces List Ac=
counting for All Money Re-
ceived and Paid Out
DOCUMENT Disappoints Defense
by Proving Heney Received
Only Office Expenses

With the same freedom that he has
answered all questions put to him.
since being called as a witness in the
Calhoun trial, Rudolph Spreckels yes
terday produced for the inspection of
the defendant and his attorneys a
lengthy statement showing in detail
all receipts and expenditures which
nave been made in connection with
the special fund raised through pri-
yate channels to aid the work of the
graft prosecution.
The document, which was so eagerly
sought after by the defense, is an in
teresting one, but though complete
account of finances of the prosecution
from its inception TO the present time
it utterly failed to serve the purpose
Ior which it was wanted. Instead of
showing that Francis ]. Heney re-
ceived any compensation whatsoever
at the hands of Spreckels, as claimed
by the defense, 1t proved the very con-
trary. Heney received nothing except
once rental and expenses, his services
ana tlme having been given absolutely
without pay for three years.
DOCUMENT Is INTERESTING
As a means of satisfying a natural
curiosity the document introduced by
Spreckels on demand of Earl Rogers
is interesting, but as a basis for ar
gument in behalf of the defendant in
the case on trial it is valueless. In
addition to the summary of receipts
and disbursements contained on the
front page, the report consists of Is
pages of details of expenditures. The
only thing eliminated from the report
was the list of individual contributors
to the graft prosecution fund, whose
names Spreckels had promised to keep
secret.
The report shows that the total sum
which has been received and used since
the beginning of the prosecution was
S21S,391.50, of which Spreckels him
self advanced s13S.47S.05. Other sub
scriptions received totaled &S,3S4.75.
A total of $12S,250.S0 is charged to
the account of William ]. Burns. OF
this amount s12.357.45 is listed as per-
sonal, s70,572.65 is charged to detective
services and s27.277.35 to detective
expenses. The remainder is made UP
of usual office expenses, automobile
hire, travelling expenses and the like.
OFFICE EXPENSES ONLY
Onuef TaHcis J. Heney account
the largest single item is for office sal
aries, amounting to $S,6S4.67,y with
$4,232.e1 for detective expenses,
s2,147.S7 for stenographie and legal
expenses, s3.1S6.25 for office rent,
s1,522.02 for Office expenses and
s1,949.22 for private telephone exchange
and operator The total of the Heney
account is $66,295.1S.
The balance of expenditures is ac-
counted for under the caption of sun
dry disbursements. Under this heading
are listed payments to Hiram W. john
son of Sill 900, j. j. Dwyer of $4,000,
c. w. Cobb of $4,000 and W. J. Burns
of $17,195.

THANKS CITY FOR
AIDING MESSINA
Mayor of Rome Sends Express
sions of Gratitude to San
Francisco for Assistance

The mayor of Rome, Italy, has sent
his thanks to the people of San Fran
cisco for aid rendered, through mes
sage delivered to Mayor Taylor by
Robert p. Troy, recently returned from
the scene of the Messina earthquake.
Troy was the bearer of a letter from
Mayor Taylor expressing the sympathy
of San Francisco. for the sufferers in
the Italian disaster. and was warmly
thanked by Professor Tonelli, the act
ing mayor of Rome, both for the ex-
pressions of sympathy and the prac-
tical assistance.
Troys letter follows:
Dear DIR. Taylor. / beg to advise you that I
returned on Saturday last from my trip TO Egypt.
the Holy Land and other Mediterranean coun-
tries, and desire to inform you that when In
Rome | presented your letter of sympathy, ad-
dressed TO the mayor of Rome, through the
American ambassador. At the time, ] was there
Mr. Nathan, the mayor, WAS i'll, but Professor
Tonelli, the acting mayor received me very
kindly and requested me to give you his very
kindest personal regards and TO express to you
his thanks officially for your sympathetic let
ter and to the people of San Francisco. through
you his thanks for the prompt and liberal do
nations which were made here in behalf of the
sufferers in Italy, who were affected by the dis
astrous earthquake at Messina-
He remarked that while it was extremely
pleasant to receive assurances of sympathy, 1t
was doubly pleasant to have coupled with such
assurances the substantial evidence of sympathy
which were manifested in the large donations
made by the people of San Francisco He said
that people not only expressed sympathy,
but actually demonstrated their sympathy in
the most practical manner.
After my visit TO Rome was finished went
TO Messlna. and was appalled, with the condi-
ton OF that city, almost four months after the
disaster While there is a little pottering
going on here and there by groups of two or
three men, there is no substantial work being
performed and none has been done In the way
Of moving the debris. The main arteries of the
city are covered with debris running all the
way from 10 TO 20 feet high. Corpses are still
being removed and when summer comes every
one expects an epidemic.
The damage done In Messina was purely
and exclusively Of earthquake origin. There
were hardly any fires there at all, and in view
OF the terrible damage which was done it is
surprising that as many 5000 people escaped
with their lives. The San Francisco earthquake

the chief warden was asked.
No, we did not. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Porter asked me about the mat
ter during the legislature when the
resolution was up. He asked me about
Welch also, but there was nothing said
about the warden's dismissal 1t is
absurd to say that the commission
wanted WEIGH removed.

by Miller and yogeisang have strength

ance on a citizen who was foolish
enough to believe that the laws gov

MCCARTHY
AND SENATOR finn
John w. Sweeney Will Have
Nothing to Do With Self
Chosen Standard Bearers
Declares That Discordant Ele-
ments in Labor Party Have
Been HarmOnized

Il am opposed today and ali the time,
uneouiyocallv and enthusiastically, to the
election of p. II. Mccarthy as mayor.
He is the puppet of a crowd that regard
a political party as nothing more than
a thing to make deals and combina-
tions with. l am also opposed to elect
ing a sheriff who is the proprietor OF
strong arm joint. That is not the sort
of officials to choose the men who will
sit on our juries-"
Speaking as one of the organizers OF
the municipal league of Independent re-
publican clubs. John w. Sweeney last
night made this reference to the candi-
dacy of p. H. Mccarthy and Senator
Tom Finn sweeney addressed a meet
ing of the republicans of the forty-fifth
district, held in Iaccheris hall, 1o4s
Stockton street.
DIsCLAIMs HARMONY
These men, continued Sweeney,
'claim that the discordant elements OF
the union labor party brave been har-
monized. 1 am not a party to any such
arrangement; neither is Macarthur;
neither is Furuseth.''
Sweeney said also that the present
administration had been betrayed in
several departments, because Mayor
Taylor had placed confidence in the
wrong men. He added that the cause
of good government in the approach
ing campaign depended on the republi-
can party, and that the municipal
league represented the progressive and
anti-boss element in the republican
party.
FORTY-FIETH DISTRICT CLUB
The Forty fifth district club was or
ganized by the election of Emanuel
Garibaldi as president; Henry Fiske,
l.. Ravani and w. Ferrogiaro, vice
president; W. c. Macintosh, secre-
tary; Henry Heber, treasurer, and
Ralph Brignoli, sergeant at arms.
At a future meeting the club will
decide whether it wishes to ally itself
with the municipal league. If it de-
cides in favor of the alliance, a con-
conference committee of three will be
chosen from the following. who were
nominated: Perry Newberry, Henry
Wynn, Antoine Babino DR.. j. Mora
Moss, Henry Fiske and W. c. Mackin-
toSh.
In discussing the coming campaign
Perry Newberry declared that James
Rolph Jr. was the logical republican
candidate for mayor, despite his re-
fusal to run.
Il think declared Newberry, that
we should force the nomination on
Rolph. and l don't think he would re-
fuse it if the request came from the
republican clubs of IS assembly dis
tricts."

Loss Of Life and Great Damage

New Orleans, Sept. 21.-Attaining a

The property loss in New Orleans

With all wires down it is impossible
to ascertain the loss of life or property
along the gulf coast.

BROOKLYN WELCOMES COOK
Police Have Difficulty in Checking
Crowd as He Ieavss Ship.

OTCWu dS ne @SdN%S SfiJs
DR.. Frederick A. Cook, discoTerer of
the north pole, was welcomed to
Brooklyn, his home city, by thousands
of admirers.
As he left the Oscar H., on which
he had sailed from Copenhagen, the
police had difficulty in checking the
crowd.
Asked why he did not Immediately
give full details of his achievement,
Dr. Cook said:
II have given to the public a concise
account of my journey similar to that
always given by explorers on their re.
turn from journey of exploration
For the present no other details are
necessary, and. as a matter of fact, nc
further specific evidences of my claim
have been called for from any SIDE"
Referring to Commander Peary, Cap
tain Cook said:
Il have as yet heard nothing but
vague reports. l prefer for the pres
ent to believe that the statements
which have been attributed to Peary
are incorrect. / am fully prepared tc
meet any charges, but /. must first see
something definite.
81 am absolutely certain that none
of the reports that have appeared in
print emanate either from my Eski-
mos, Ahwelah and Etukishuk, or from
Harry Whitney Mr.. Whitney has,
without any doubt, kept his promise
to me not to say anything about the
expedition and it's results, and feel
sure of my Eskimos.
"Mr Whitney will return to Amer
lea about the middle of October. He
has complete knowledge of all the
facts. He is at entire liberty to make
public all that he knows. He is
neither bound to stand up for me nor
for Peary."
On the question of his plans. DR.
Cook said:
81 intend to stay in New York fol
the present. While there | shall com
plete my work. have not made any
arrangements for lectures, and have
not yet decided whether I shall de
liver any address before my work ia
done. l should not. however, like tc
commit myself on that point, although
my present intention is not to do so.
''As to further explorations, much
will depend on Mrs Cook. l shall.
however, probably not go again to the
north pole, although may proceed
on northern expedition for the Elk
ploration of the new land we saw on
our journey"
