(Continued FrarrLPage-1).

en In the ctty of Oakland, or in the county of Alameda; I mean by that "any actual evidence that has come to you that would make such proof? A. Have you any reason to suppose .1 have? Q. Why, I haven't any reason to suppose that you have, but I am sim ply asking you the question Decause I think the impression has been created, from newspaper articles, notwithstanding that you did not say. In so many words, such a thing In the newspaper articles, but such an lm presslon seems to have been created and I thought. In fairness to you, you should be asked? A.

Well, Mr. District Attorney, I ion't think that it Is fairness to me, all, that Is guiding you. Q. Now, Mr. Heney A.

I think corruption exists in this cltv and that it is so obvious to anybody who Js at all acquainted with the signs of graft in a city that any man with common sense ought to be able to see it. FAIU TO HENEY. Q. Mr. Heney, you say that you don't think my question is fair to you.

I want to say to' you that you are entirely mistaken In that matter. I discussed with this Grand Jury yesterday afternoon this very matter before you were subpoenaed to come here and I think this Grand Jury can tell you that my desire Is to be perfectly fair with you. A. Let me explain my answer. Q.

Will you answer the question? A. No, I won't; I will explain my attitude. Mr. Hynes I would like to have an answer to that question, Mr. Foreman.

The Foreman 1 think, Mr. Heney, that jury would like to have that question answered, if you have any direct evidence of graft. Witness I don't propose to answer that question until I first make my attitude plain to this Grand Jury. In the first place, the District Attorney has brought me here for the purpose nf defending himself before the pub-lic and making It appear that he has a bona fide intention of running down fraud. Mr.

Hynes I Insist that this witness be compelled to answer the question. Witness Tf he has any such bona fide Intention, before I would give any evidence before this Grand Jury; I would want to examine every member of this Grand Jury on his voir dire myself to know whether he Is In a position to act upon this evidence. 1 say this as man who ha wide experience in investigating in cities. It would be absurd for me 1 to come here and make a statement with regard to this thing. Mr.

District Attorney doesn't think for one minute that I have anything of my own knowledge. I stated positively In that public speech that I did not have anything of my own knowledge. HENEY SHOWN UP. Mr. Hynes Q.

As a matter of fact you haven't anything within your own knowledge? A. No, but I have seen a great deal that convinces me that the graft ex ists and exists so near your door that -ou ought to be able to reach It. For Instance, there Is public gambling going on right here, within three blocks of here, constantly; notorious it Is! It is agaVist the law! It is against the law for you to permit It to go on. You went a long distance from here to make a raid. Why don't you make a.

raid within a few blocks? Mr. Hynes I think that's all, gentlemen. That's all, Mr. Heney, The above was all of the testimony given by Mr. Heney.

This Grand Jury, therefore, desires to report to this honorable court that Mr. Heney admits that he is not in the possession of any evidence that would tend to prove any official cor-- ruptlon, or any grafting, bv officials In the city of Oakland, or In the county of Alameda. Dated this 13th dav of November, A. D. 1914.

Respectfully submitted, (Signed) A. K. P. HARMON, Foreman of the Grand Jury-After the -report was presented Judge Ogden highly complimented the grand Jury, telling them he had confidence in their ability and Integrity. Heney had referred to the grand Jury as crooks, saying that he would not trust them, as he did not believe they wanted to do their duty.

"QUAD" SPIRIT. The past week has shown no diminution of this winning streak. On the contrary, the enthusiasm and concerted brilliancy has apparently Increased and may reach a climax this afternoon. On the other hand, Stanford, usually a slow starter, has displayed better form In the early month of the season than has been shown in the last two weeks, and there is great danger pf Coach Brown's men being a trifle stale. Special trains pulled' out of San Jose todav.

traveling bv way of Palo rxitp and the peninsula, and each tralftbrought thousands of Stanford supporters. Coach Brown and his men cameMip In a private car, to which a diner ad been attached. The men eat heartilyunder the watchful eyea of coach and trainer. They were met at the Third and Townsend depot with automobiles and escorted across the bay via the creek, route, proceeding at once to their temporary quarters at the University. Indications point to the biggest crowd that has ever seen a football game In the history of California.

Though the increased bleacher space will permit the seating of over 17,000 people every seat was eagerly purchased a week ago, and twice that number of people would be in attendance were there the accommodations. Special police, student ushers and ticket takers have been care fully drilled in the task of handling the crowd, and It Is not believed there will be any serious difficulty. The gates tq the field will be opened at 12 o'clock. Western Colleges in Contests for Championship Title CHICAGO, Nov. 14.

"The failure of any member of the grand jury to ask me any questions which would give me an opportunity to suggest a line of Investigation left me with the strong Impression that the grand jury as a body has no desire or Intention to investigate along lines that might make it uncomfortable for any men of prominence in the community.
