The prosperity of a people Is pro-

HENEY SAYS HE
GOT NO SALARY
STATES SERVICES WERE PER
FORMED UNDER CONTACT
insists Attorneys in Calhoun Case
Know Nature of Agreements and
Know They Do Not Affect
His Standing
(By Associated Press)

CORDOVA, Alaska, July 23.-Francis
]. Heney, the San Francisco prosecutor
started on his return trip this morning,
leaving on the steamer Ohio. Before
his departure Mr.. Heney again dis
cussed the references made by Chair
man Tawney in the house of repre-
sentatives regarding the $4,000 paid
him by the government.
II never was paid a salary by the
government" said Mr.. Heney. MY
services were performed under special
contract. At the suggestion of the at
torney general, L agreed to have such
a contract drawn so as to make my
connection with the government clear.
COPIES of this contract, with item
ized accounts of the services performed
as special prosecutor, were shown the
attorneys for Calhoun. Every attor-
ney knows that even if had drawn a
salary as a government employe and
special prosecutor at the same time, 1t
would have no effect in cases where in
dictments were returned.
II have nothing to suppress and fear
no investigation"
Mr.. Heney was much benefited by his
outing and said he was returning with
greater vigor to fight graft.
He said he had received no word
from Washington regarding the Oregon
land frauu cases, but anticipated that
the government would again secure his
services.
He will stop at Skagway on his trip
down the coast, and after trip over
the White pass railroad will return to
San Francisco.

PREMIER ASQUITH is
DEFENDER OF TARIFF
ENGLAND'S LEADER DECLARES
FOR REVENUE
States, However, Liberals Will Not
Look at Any Suggestions for
Duties and Cites Other
Nations Troubles

LONDON, July 23.-Addressing a
meeting in defense of the budget,
Premier Asquith declared the only al
tentative offered to Chancellor Lloyd
Georges proposals for raising the new
revenue necessary was the introduction
of tariff; but the Liberals, he said,
would not look at any suggestions for
a tariff.
1.-TWO great countries, the two great
est commercial rivals we have in the
world" continued the premier, have
been trying their hands at tariff fabri-
cations for the last two or three years.
Germany, for two years, has had In
operation a full blown scientific tariff,
and Germany's deficit is much greater
than our own, and it already has
caused a downfall of one of the most
powerful ministers in Europe.
"And if we look on the other side o1
the Atlantic they have just completed
a revision of the Dingley tariff. 1t is
not for us to speak disrespectfully oi
find pleasure and complacency in the
troubles, struggles and misfortunes OF
our friends and neighbors, but when
we are told the sovereign remedy for
our financial troubles is to create in
Great Britain what has been created in
Germany and what Is just being
created in America-a general tariff
we are entitled to look to the expert
ence of those who have adopted these
methods
. And what is the cause of the new
American tariff? Why, as far as I
can make out 1t is condemned by the
whole American press and regarded by
American people as triumph of pri-
vate interests over general interests,
for they see trusts and monopolies re-
entered and reinforced in their long
and too-victorious campaign against
the consumer"

SENATE ADJ0URNS TILL
MONDAY To RECEIVE
REPORTS ON TARIFF

WASHINGTON; July 23-After a
session of little more than half an
hour today the senate adjourned un-
til next Monday. This was done in
the hope that the conference report
on the tariff bill might be in shape at
that time.
The senate also listened to a rep
resentation from Mr., Culberson con-
cerning the Democratic course toward
the tariff bill in the senate. He con-
tended the Democrats had been eX-
ceptionally harmonious and united and
undertook to refute all statements to
the contrary
number of presidential nominations
were confirmed, including that of
Charles r. Crane to be minister to
China.
Mr.. Cuberson said regarding the
Democratic vote on the tariff: With
the exception of the vote on iron ore,
OIL lumber and hides, the Democratic
vote was virtually a unit, and on
hides IL was a unit coupled with the
proposition that leather boots and
shoes should be placed on the free
list.
Says Vote Is Unanimous
"On the income tax amendment to
the bill the Democratic vote was
unanimous, and on oil, tea and coffee,
print paper and wood pulp 1t was sub
stantially so. Still more significant
and more important on all subjects of
the bill which particularly and more
directly affect the consuming masses
and the cost of living, such as in
crockery cutlery, glassware, sugar,
household goods generally, agricultural
implements, blankets flannels. hats
and leather boots and shoes, cotton
manufactures, wool and manufactures
of wool, in fact all articles affected
by the tariff which enter into the daily
needs of the people, the Democratic
party was in effect unanimous and
was for much lower duties than those
which were adopted.
1T was on Democratic initiative,
moreover. that sulphate of ammonia,
paris green and London purple, oleos-
tearine and cotton bagging were placed
on the free list in the senate bill,
which are the principal benefits to
farmers and fruit growers in the bills,
and it was also due to Democratic in
itiative that the tax on tea and cof-
fee was stricken from the maximum
provision of the senate measure"
At 12;39 p. m. the senate adjourned

ROOSEVELT ACCEPTS
GIFT OF SPECIMENS
VALUABLE COLLECTION OF AN
IMALS PROFFERED
American In Africa Gives Smithsonian
Institution Number of Wild Beasts
for Federal Zoo In WASH
Ington

WASHINGTON, July %. - Former
President Roosevelts African hunting
trip has resulted in the enriching Of
the National Geological park of wash
ington with an exceptional collection
of live African birds and animals,
many of which are not represented in
the park exhibit.
While Mr.. Roosevelt's purpose was
to make a collection of dead birds and
mammals for the national museum,
working in connection with the Smith
sonian institution, his visit to Juju
farm, near Nariobri, British East
Africa, recently, where he and his
an American, owning the big estate,
resulted in the presentation of col
lection of live animals to the zoo by
Mr.. Mcmillan, through the Smithsonian
African expedition.
Gift Will Be Shipped
Mr.. Roosevelt has accepted the gift
on behalf of the park. and Assistant
Superfntendent Baker will leave New
York tomorrow on the steamer Arabic
for Nariobri to take charge of its
transportation to this country.
Lieut.. Col. Edgar A. Means of the
Smithsonian party has written to Sec
retary Wolcott describing the coIlec-
tion. 1t includes eleven large mammals
and three large birds, all in fine con-
dition. and for the most part broken to
captivity.
The collection comprises a male and
female lion, years old; male and
two female lions, II years old; fe-
male leopard, pet of Mrs. Mcmillan;
two cheetahs. a warthog, years old;
one Thompson's and one Grants
gazelle, we'll grown; small vulture, a
large eagle and a large buto.
Specimens of none of these, except
the lions and leopard, are at present
contained in the park. The collection
is now at the farm near Nairobri.
