COMBINE OF PLUMBERS
Independent Charges Conspiracy
to Ruin His Business

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 25.-Suit was
filed today in the state circuit court by
Gerard A. Fleischer asking $4,000
damages from wholesale dealers in
plumbers supplies and certain MEM
bers of the master plumbers associa-
ton of this city, and charging the
wholesalers and plumbers association
with conspiracy to drive Fleischer,
who is an independent master plumber,
out of business. F'leischer alleges in
his complaint that after he had built
up a remunerative business the whole

COUNTERFEITERS TURN
OUT LINCOLN PENNIES

PORTLAND. Ore, Feb. 25.-It is
stated that the federal authorities are
searching for a gang of counterfeiters
manufacturing bogus Lincoln pennies
The imitation is poor one. the
product being composed of babbit and
tin and lacking the copper color of
the penny.
It is said to be the first time in the
last ten years that the secret service
has discovered counterfeit pennies.
Another peculiar feature of the case
is that the authorities think that the
gang is composed of boys.

Calls Heney Dead One"

When asked for a statement concern
ing Heney's charges that he had formed
an unholy alliance with Patrick Cal
houn prior to his election, that he had
endea vored after election TO cause the
defeat of the Geary street bonds and
that ii was his intention to carry out
as much of his compact with Calhoun
as he dared. the mayor expressed the
utmost disdain.
'l-!eney?" he questioned. rs that
Fraucis ]. Heney? For the Lords sake
doeE he still think he's alive? Why
should I pay any attention to a dead
ones The people have passed on Mr..
Heney once before. But when Mr..
Heney made his statement in regard
to an alliance between Mr.. F. II. Nc
Carthy and Patrick Calhoun he know
ingly said what was not true. He was
expressing that which was not and
which he could not maintain. In other
wor Is. he is a - liar, and he knows
he ! ed. The former is simply milder
and more gentlemanly way of express
ing It.
1she only alliance between Mr.. P. Fl.
Mccarthy and any one is between Mr..
p. II. Mccarthy and the people, for the
people and the peoples interests.
What Mr.. Heney says or does not say
regarding Mr.. P. II. Mccarthy carries
no weight with Mr.. P. Fl. Mccarthy or
with the people of San Francisco. The
people of San Francisco know Mr.. p.
II. Mccarthy and any amount of false
hoods disseminated by Mr.. Heney or
any other person can not destroy Mr.
McCarthy's usefulness to san Fran
cisco or himself.

Further Accusation Returned of

[ Special Dispatch TO The Call

SANTA ROSA, Feb. 25-The Sonoma
county grand jury late this afternoon
returned two true bills against DR..
Willard p. Burke, president and man.
ager Of the Willard P. Burke sana-
torium at Alturas, five miles north of
this city, after three days investiga-
tion.
One indictment charges the use of dy-
Mantle against Lou Eta Smith and the
other malpractice upon Mrs. Mabel
Mol, wife of Albert Mol of Sebastopol.
Doctor Burke, who had been In town
during the afternoon in conference
with his attorney, Hiram Johnson of
San Francisco, and J. Rollo Leppo of
this city, had returned to the sana-
torium before the grand jury made it's
report to Judge Emmett Seawen at Sis
o'clock

T estimony Before Jury

The grand jury began the third and
last day of the investigation at 9:15
o'clock this morning with Under Sheriff
Walter c. Lindsay on the stand. The
officer told of his questioning Doctor
Burke regarding his possession of
dynamite and the latter's denial of
ever having had any or of it being used
on the grounds.
w. A. Gordon, a relative of Doctor
Burke and an employe of the sana-
torium, who followed, knew nothing OF
interest to the Jury

Released on Bail

Warrants were placed in the hands
of Sheriff j. X. Smith and the de-
fendant was brought into court shortly
after 1880 and released upon $4,000
bail in the dynamite charge and $4,000
in the malpractice charge
The main Indictment accuses Doctor
Burke
of the crime of maliciously deposit
ing and exploding explosives with
intent to injure a human being
committed as follows: The said
day of February, A. D. 1910, at
and in the county of Sonoma, state

The prosecution" win proceed to-
morrow. with the likelihood that Gif-

Ballinger in relation TO the conserva-

Followers Of the inquiry have gath
cred the impression that the verdict

minority finding, which would leave
the matter practically where ii was
before the inquiry began. will hinge
upon the testimony of Ballinger itself
In other words. the case will soon
narrow down to an issue between
Giayis and the secretary of the inte-
rior. The committee is rather restive
and anxious that Ballinger's testimony
should be reached as soon as possible
when the committee met in open

Several Charges Unanswered

While declaring that the Geary street
road would be built, Mccarthy failed,
nevertheless, to reply directly to sew
eral charges made by Heney in the lat
ter's speech Thursday evening before
the league of justice banquet. He de-
nounced the accusation of an alliance
with Calhoun as a lie, but he did not
refer to the statement that United Rail
roads employees had been instructed to
vote for him, nor did he refer in any
way to his own attitude toward grant
ing the United Railroads franchise in
lower Market street, concerning which
Heney asserted that the mayor intend
ed to carry out a portion of his COM
pact with Calhoun by giving the latter
the overhead trolley system on the out
side tracks as soon as he dared to do it.
n replying to question concerning
built Mccarthy admitted his lack of
understanding of the exact terms of
the Geary street ordinance He said
that he understood the ordinance called
for an underground conduit electric
system. When it was pointed out that
the ordinance did not prescribe the
kind of road to be built he said that
the best railway possible with the funds
at hand would be built. This subject,
he said, had been discussed yesterday
afternoon at a conference held be-
tween him and the board of public
works

Mccarthy Grows Vitriolic in
Denying Charge of Pact
With Calhoun
City's Executive Intimates That
United Railroads Head Is
Bitter Enemy

To the charge made by Francis T..
Heney that Mayor P. H Mccarthy was
pledged before his election to defeat
the building of a municipal road in
Geary street and that he was in unholy
alliance with Patrick Calhoun the
mayor responded yesterday with an
attack upon Heney and declaration
which amounted to the assertion that
Calhoun was his bitterest enemy.
McCarthy's enmity toward Calhoun
was~not expressed in positive, burning
words like those with which he flayed
Heney, but by inference through his
reference to the part taken by the
building trades council in support of
the carmen's strike. His declaration
that it was his intention to build in
Geary street the best street railwa Y
possible with the means at hand was,
however. a direct, unequivocal state
ment. His remarks regarding Heney
left no doubt about the state of his
feelings in that direction.

Lou Eta Smith Testifies

Lou Eta Smith ! eStIheS
Lou Eta Smith was the principal wit
ness of the morning session and told
her life story in a plain, straightfor-
ward manner, charging Doctor Burke
with being the father of her SON. who
will be a year old March 5. She was a
good witness and while showing that
she had faith in Doctor Burke yet she
did not conceal anything which would
Indicate his connection with the case
in any manner
Mrs. Annie Macy of Laguna street,
San Francisco. with whom Miss Smith
lived for time, corroborated the latter
in many respects.
D. Warren billiard, who was formerly
book keeper at the sanatorium, was the
first witpess at the afternoon session
and was another strong witness. He
told of Doctor Burke repeatedly refer
ring to threats he said Miss Smith had
made to blow herself up with dyna-
mite.

called and gave corroborative evidence
along the lines of billiards. testimony
The Malpractice Charge
The evidence in the malpractice
charge was presented in the form of
deposition from Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Moll, in which it is alleged that the
operation was performed by Doctor
Burke January 10, 1910.
This second criminal charge came as
complete surprise to many, although
those who are following the case knew
that such charge was more than
probable and were expecting two in
