BIG DAMAGE SUIT is FILED.
Heney Wants s25o,ooo For Persona
Libel

New York, Dec. 29-The formal
complaint in the damage suit of Fran
ciS j. Eeney, of San Francisco, against
William H. Crocker, the California mill
lionaire, of $250,O00 on an allegation
of libel, was filed here. Mr. Heney
bases his action on an open letter bear
ing MIR. Crocker's name. which appear
ed In New York evening newspa per
Dec. 8, in which Mr.. Crocker defended
his action in first supporting Heney in
the San Francisco graft prosecutions
and later withdrawing his support
James M. Beck, counsel for Mr..
Heney, said yesterday:
AS soon as Mr.. Crocker's letter was
published Mr.. Heney telegraphed me to
bring this suit. Mr.. Heney, who nearly
gave his life to the cause of exposing
corruption in San Francisco, desires to
settle once and for all time the ques-
ton as to whether he conducted the
prosecutions against the San Francisco
grafters in an honorable and legit-
mate way. In the heat of the great
contest in San Francisco many charges
We're made by irresponsible men
against Mr.. Heney, but when MIR.
Crocker assumed responsibility for
these charges and gave them wide cir
culation in responsible organ of pub
lie opinion, Mr.. Heney felt his oppor-
tunity had come to have a jury of his
fellow countrymen determine the JUS
tice or injustice of the accusations
against him.
in San Francisco the graft prosecu-
tions have so divided it's people into
hostile camps that it would seem to
me matter of exceeding difficulty TO
secure jury which would consider the
questions involved with absolute i'm
partiality. In News York, however,
there can be no selfish interest in the
issuesswhich grew out of the San Fran
cisco graft prosecutions, and here,
therefore, jury can be selected which
can impartially and fearlessly judge
between Mr.. Crocker's grave accusa-
tions and Mr.. Heney's account of his
stewardship as a public official"

with his legislative program and send
In message dealing with the Sher-
man antitrust act, brought an unus-
ually large number of congressional
callers to the White House today.
Among these was Representative Mar
tin. OF South Dakota, himself the
author Of several bills designed to bring
the corporations under federal con-
troll.
Taft has announced himself as being
IN favor Of a voluntary license, to be
issued to such corporations as desire
to place themselves under federal jur-
isdiction and supervision. Attorney
General Wickerstam has prepared an
administration measure embodying this
idea.
Martin urged the president to make
the recommendations stronger as to
federal license, SO as to provide that
any corporation not taking advantage
OF the license within year shall be
prohibited from doing an interstale
business. Martin said he feared that
under the voluntary idea the good"
trusts would take out licenses, while
the bad" trusts would continue to do
business under state authorizations.
Martin also declared that he thought
the Wickersham bill did not go far
enough in providing penalties for viola
ton of the antitrust law. He thinks
there should be provision that any
corporation operating under federal Ii
cease which violates the trust law
should have its interstate license can
celled.
