Its answer to the fee exposures of Mr. Heney is the same as the one with which it met the publication of the immunity deal with Ruef and Gallagher's nobleband, viz: You are a liar bought with Calhoun's gold.

And the Bulletin's reputation is so well established that most anybody is willing to believe it will tell the truth for pay almost as readily as it will a lie. It is not yet so entirely lost to shame that it cannot be hired to be temporarily decent. The Bulletin denies that Mr. Heney was paid by the government ostensibly to prosecute land grabbers in the Federal courts of Oregon, but in reality to conduct the private prosecution Mr. Spreckels has instituted in the State courts of California.

However, it is safe to guess that. Prof. Moore has learned his lesson, and knows what the weather on March 4, 1913, Is going to be. Europe and Asia were covered by fog during the summer of 1783. Says Gilbert While: "The summer of the year 1783 was an amazing and a portentous one for, besides the civic regenerator that it is not in the reform business for the health "of its proprietor and manager, and never refuses to take an insult if it be in the form of a cash asset.

The government records show that Mr. Heney has received various payments aggregating some $40,000 since he ceased active work in the Oregon land cases. While in receipt of those several sums, of which the last $5000 was paid January 21, 1909, Mr. Heney was engaged-as a special prosecutor for Mr. Spreckels in San Francisco, for most of the time holding the office of.

Assistant District Attorney of that city. It is the inference suggested by the amounts and dates of those payments that indicts Mr. Heney of being a moral reformer under false pretenses for political purposes; also profit. As the Bulletin's quarrel is with the facts and the conclusions they inevitably suggest. And the facts have not been suborned by Patrick Calhoun's money, as the testimony of Gallagher and his associates was suborned by the illeg'tl grants of immunity.

The first contract for the new Lincoln Grammar School was let on September 18. 1905. The plans provided for a fireproof building to cost $160,000. The old wooden frame schoolhouse had been previously moved to the southwest corner of Eleventh and Jackson streets to make room for the new structure, and it was temporarily fitted out and repaired to: accommodate the classes until the other building was ready for occupancy. Construction on the walls of the new schoolhouse had reached the height of the first floor, 'some of the steel beams for which were! in place when the earthquake 'of April 18, 1906, occurred and shattered them so badly that they had to bo torn down, the old plans abandoned and new ones for an earthquake proof structure substituted.

The appea'i fell or. deaf ears, possibly because the public believed Mr. Spreckels and Mr. Phelan rich enough to pay their own lawyers, or possibly regarded the plea of poverty as Pickwickian in view of the $42,500 Mr. Heney managed to separate, along with himself, from the Contra Costa Water Company.

-The public now knows that the plea 'poverty, likc the denials of the immunity contracts, was false. The public also knows that while Mr. Heney was drawing nearly S2000 a nfonth from the Federal government he was not prosecuting land grabbers in Oregon, but was conducting the Spreckels private prosecution in San Francisco. What he was actually paid for doing is a matter of conjecture. We do know what he was while drawing the money.
