WAR ON GRAFT
FIGHTER HENEY
His Opponents in California
Want to Deprive Him OF
Federal Support

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-The oppo-
nents Of Francis j. Heney the Pacific
coast graft fighter. are taking steps 10
deprive him Of the support Of the Fed
eral government which he had been
enjoying since 1904 at an average an
nual compensation OF $4,000.
The Department Of Justice. which re-
Gently sent for use in the Calhoun pro-
secution at San Francisco, all Of He
news original salary bills and vouchers
and original appointment paper. is ex-
pecting momentarily 10 be met with a
demand for the withdrawal Of Heneys
appointment as special assistant TO the
attorney-ge general.
It is limited at the Department Of
Justice that the demand. II made. will
have to be given consideration, mas
much as Heney's services for three
years past. appear to have been devoted
almost exclusively TO the San Francisco
municipal graft cases. In which the
Federal government has no lawful in
terest.
II is known here that Heney's enc
mics are determined to make him APP
pear in the light Of having been pluck
ing Uncle Sam, at the same time he
was being amply paid out Of the ant
graft contribution by wealthy men on
the Pacific coast. Heney got his COM
mission by direction Of President
Roosevelt. he having first been instru-
mental in working up the land fraud
cases in oregon. Roosevelt gave him
the moral and financial support OF the
Federal government: sent him a leng-
-thy telegram Of sympathy at the time
he was shot. and later entertained him
at the White House. as soon as Henry
abel to make the trip east.

YOUR BOY.

And OF course Mark exaggerates his

Whereat the boy, who has come into
the house heartful of boisterous glad
ness. grows sullen and savage. He
goes out. slamming the door behind
him, with a grievance against his home

The effect Of that is dangerous on tho

$4,000 SUIT TO
BE TRIED AGAIN
Judge Gray ReVCrseS Lower
Court in Unique Damage
Suit

NEW BRUNSWICK. n. j., May "a
Judge George Gray, Of Delaware, In
the United States Circuit Court of APP
peals, has just handed down a decision
that will be of utmost interest to farm
ers and others owning property along
the line of railroads. So far as the
attorneys in the cases have been able
to discover it is the only one of its
kind ever decided and establishes a
unique and new rule of law.
About three years ago a hay press
and other buildings belonging to John
w. Erickson. a well-known farmer. Of
Dayton, were destroyed by a fire which
was started by sparks from a P. r. r..
locomotive.
Through his attorneys, P. F. DAILY
and Senator George S. Silzer, Mr..
Erickson sued the railroad for s25,oo0
damages. The case was tried before
II. s. Judge Cross at Trenton. who
granted the defendant company nom
suit on the ground Of contributory
negligence
The peculiar feature Of the case was
that the sparks from the locomotive
set fire to an accumulation of hay and
rubbish under a platform belonging to
the railroad and from there II spread
TO Mr.. Erickson's hay press and other
buildings. The hay under the platform
came there through the operation OF
the hay press, which adjoined the plat
form.
Judge Cross held that the plaintiff
should not have allowed the hay 10
accumulate under the platform, ana
that by so doing he was guilty OF
contributory negligence.
But Judge Gray reversed this deci-
sion and ordered new trial on the
ground that II was the duty Of the
railroad company to keep it's own prop
erty clear OF any infiammable material
that might cause the destruction Of ad-
Joining property.
The case is set down for re-trial in
September before the u. S. Court at
Trenton.

is sort Of mutual affair, with the
state as referee. II absolutely elimin-
ates wildcat banking. Each banker
keeps his eye constantly on his com
petitor. The moment he sees any
thing wrong he notifies the state COM
missioner. Under the old order of
things, as in all commercial competi-

If he saw things going wrong he would
not utter word of protest. He would

ROAD MUST ACCEPT
Judge Barker Rules Against the
Milwaukee in Coal Con-
troversy.
HAD REFUSED SHIPMENTS
Fuel Consignments Originate at
Points on Burlington-An In
teresting Suit.

A question which has been agitating
the coal mining industry and the local
dealers in the fuel for months past has
been partially set at rest by the decis-
ion rendered by Judge Barker at Dav-
export against the Chicago. Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul railroad. In this de
ctsion, on the legal status Of the rail
road to refuse shipments of coal from
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy at
Davenport for other points in the
state, Judge Barker has ruled that an
injunction as asked by the dealers be
granted and that the road be restrain
ed from refusing to accept such ship
ments of coal loaded in another's rail-
road yard. In handing down the de-
cision Judge Barker, in commenting on
the question of interstate commerce
legislation, says:
Interstate Character.
1T is the destination prescribed at
the time of shipment and not the point
Of origin that determines the inter
state character of the shipment. In
a sense, and perhaps in railroad par
lance, it is of course true that the ship
ment over the Milwaukee originated in
Davenport, that is, the contract with
that company, if it accepted the car,
would be for transportation beginning
at that place.
''In another sense, however the ship
ment originated at the point where the
coal was loaded upon the Burlington
cars. the separate billings over the two
roads being each independent but both
a part of the entire shipment from orr
gin to destination.
Same Reasons Apply.
The same reasons for requiring de-
PENDANT to take this coal in the Bur
lington cars apply in this case as
would apply If these cars were offered
to 1t at some point where the two lines
cross in the interior of the state.
ct am Of the opinion, therefore. that
an injunction be allowed; as to just
what 1t should provide can be decided
upon the further hearing which it was
agreed should be had should it hold
that I had no jurisdiction to award the
count"
