Funeral Concert Private

Only persons who were friends of
the deceased or of the family were
admitted to the small chapel where the
funeral concert was held But others
We're permitted to crowd into the re-
ceiving vault in the rear of the chapel,
where the remains were subsequently
moved. The chapel at Cypress Lawn
is as conservatory, with growing
plants decorating and sweetening the
small gothic nave. The bronze casket
was rolled to the front of the chancel
but there was neither priest nor min
lister nor eulogist in the hallowed arch
Of the chapel Instead u musicians
led by bushy haired violinist from a
cafe-an excellent musician at that
sat together. After the relatives and
connections of the dead millionaire had
seated themselves the secular musical
program was begun. The first num-
Der was weird composition, Hindu
Lament by Mrs McClaughry, a daugh-
ter of Baldwin. 1t was followed by the
throbbing wall of Verdis 'Miserere."
from the popular opera II Trovatore"
The heavy, deep march from Aida" >"
another Verdi number, followed Then
Handers Largo" and another and more
appropriate composition by Mrs Nc
Claughry, The Song of Death" con-
cluded the program. The musical pro-
gram was to have been longer and
more varied and secular. 1t was to
have included the intermezzo from
"CaYalliera Rusticana," selection
from Robert lie Diable." a selection
from the lyrical Bohemian Girl. .
Weber's "Freischuetz" and the prelude
to "TPagliacci''

Tributes From Sporting Men

After the music was over the casket
was rolled into the rear of the receiv-
ing vault and surrounded with flowers.
Among the tributes were pieces from
Thomas II. Williams, the racetrack
man; Battling Nelson, the Los Angeles
racing association. Mr.. and Mrs. John
Russell and many others.
The lid of the casket was raised and
the friends and the casual visitors at
the cemetery were permitted to take
their last ocular farewell of the old
timer. Save for a darkening of the
skin Lucky Baldwin in his coffin
looked much as he did in his latter
years. The body was garbed in a black
suit and white shirt and collar, with a
black bow tie. The inscription on the
heavy metal top Of the casket simply
was his name and the years of his birth
and death.
The family was left alone with it's
dead at the last and then the party
slowly filed out Of the chapel and to the
waiting train, which brought the mem
bers to San Francisco. Many of the
closer friends of the deceased returned
to the city with the family.
Those who came up from Los Angeles
in the car were:
Mrs. Lily Bennett Baldwin. her
mother, Mrs. Bennett, and her brother
Albert Bennett; Baldwin,s two daugh-
ters and their husbands, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Stocker and Mr.. and Mrs Hull
McClaughry; II. A. Unruh, Baldwin 8
manager and administrator of. the es-
tate; DR.. J. w. Trueworthy the fam
lily physician; Mrs L. II. Rush, a niece
of Baldwin; Sergeant e. H. Sharp and
II. II. Cross. old time friends of the pio-
neer; George /. Tucker, superintendent
of the Santa Anita ranch, and Charles

ATTACK ON HENEY

Graft Prosecution
Subsidized Papers Misrepresent
Payments and Overlook His
GratuitOns Service

"'The fact is that L earned $4,000
two years before entered on the graft
prosecution and have earned nothing
since, except for about a month last
year, when L tried United States At
torney John j. Hall in Portland and
secured a conviction. This, 1 think,
ought to show pretty well the extent
of the sacrifice 1 made when i started

HENEY.
The graft subsidized newspapers in
san francisco and about the bay have
been raking the records in Washington
for figures that could be twisted into
mud to fling at Assistant District At
torney Francis J. Heney. Chief among
the publications engaged in this duty
to their employers is the San Francisco
Globe, which is maintained at the ex-
pense of the United Railroads and other
public service corporations, and the
Oakland Tribune, which has been under
subsidy for more than two years.
PAPERS ATTACK HENEY
These newspapers seem to have just
discovered that Heney did some prose
cutting for the United States govern
ment in the state of Oregon. For this
work, which resulted in 33 land graft
ers being sent to Jail out of 34 defend
ants brought to the bar of Justice
Heney was well paid 1t is this to
which the prograft newspapers take ex-
ception.
With typical lying Misrepresentation
both the Globe and the Oakland Tribune
publish lengthy articles in which it is
charged that Heney has been receiving
regular payments from the United
States government for his work in
prosecuting grafters in San Francisco
This they pretend to bolster up with a
table of remittances amounting in all
to $47,500. In order to give their lies
the semblance of fairness the prograft
newspapers credit their story to the
Portland Oregonian, whose interest in
Heney's affairs is problematicaL
STATEMENT BY HENEY
Heney last night branded as abso-
lutely false the allegation that he had
been paid by the federal government
for his work in running down grafters
in San Francisco. He said:
For my work in the Oregon land
fraud cases 1 was allowed by the de-
partment about 100000 in fees. Pay
ments have been made from time to
time, as congress has appropriated
funds for the contingent expenses of
the attorney generals office. Every
dollar I have received from the de-
partment of justice since the graft
prosecution was begun has been for
work performed before undertook my
duties here. The itemized bills, all
with dates prior to the fire, are on file

payments to me from the attorney gem
erals office.
The fact is that 1 earned $50, 900
from the federal government in the
two years before / entered on the
graft prosecution, and have earned
nothing since. except for about a
month last year. when I tried United
States Attorney John H. Hall in Port
land and secured a conviction. This, I
think. ought to show pretty well the
extent of the sacrifice 1 made when I
started out to fight for the cleansing
of San Francisco for nothing"

q double purpose. 1t tested the staying

 WOMAN |S PUT
 UNDER ARREST
Mrs. ". R. Mattoon Charged With Writing SIanderous Letters About E. G. Strick- Ter, Well Known Attorney

C1arged with having written anon nous letters. in which shs grossly and criminally slandered the reputa- ton and neral character of E. C.. StricElor. a local attorney. Mrs. W R MattcCH. pTor rent in chuch circles
 n Bisb e, was arrested late yesterday .by Constable Twomey She will be ara gned this morning at 10 o'clock before Justice Burdick.
 In the letter which was written by someone (Alr. Strickler charges Mrs. Matoon with being the author) who signed merely "an intimate acquaint snce of the Strickler family, etc" He is charged with series of inhdeIities to his 5ome ties. and young woma,- is named as correspondent The full text of the letter cannot be published because of it's character. nor. at this time, Is Mir. Strickler willing that it should be put in print
 The letter in question was written during a visit of Mrs. Stricfler Co Elizabethtown. Ky. and is addressed to the brotter of Mir. Strickler. Rob .ert T. Striekler. Of that city. Not alone are the allegations salty in the extreme, but they are specific. alIeg. ing the time and place of every offense against the moral laws which he is accused Of having committed.
 Tts letter. Mir. Strickler states. was returned to him by his brother. and
 ince that time the local officers have been working upon the case. with the Irosultant arrest of Mrs. MattoOn. Jt Is alleged by the complaining witness that both handwriting and stationery, which is of a very peculiar character. have been traced to her Whether this be true or not will be ascertained at the preliminary hearing. if the matter goes so far.
 Mir. Strickler has in his possession ether letters of anonymous character bearing practically the same charges against him and the young woman named as correspondent, but at pres ent does not visa to make any state ment about t1em.
 When seen last evening Mir. Strick. Ter exhibited the letters and the-r ma ture, ii not corroborated by any fact, Is such that they easily come within the bounds of the criminal libel law he says. Who the author is remains to be proved.
 Immediately upon the filing of the complaint Mayor George Neale ana Roy Morfoot were retained by Mir Strickler as his counsel. Mrs. Mattoon has, so far as has been ascertained. retained no attorney as yet If any of the allegations of the com plaint are borne out, the case will be- yond doubt be one of the most inter esting from the standpoint of written evidence ever tried in the local courts
 The specific charge in the complaint is q misdemeanor. the allegation being that defendant did wilfully, felonious- ly and unlawfully write anonymus let ters charging one Strickler with lack of probity and drunkenness. Mrs. Mattoon was called up by phone at her residence last night and asked for q statement.
