od City Corropuon
Special to the Evening Review.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 18 Fran
cis J. Heney opened his second day's
argument in the Calhoun trial thiB
morning by declaring that the atti
tude of the defense was an insult to
the Jury.
"Counsel for defense has stood
here," shouted Heney, "with the au
dacity born of confidence In some
thing we know nothing about and ad
vanced arguments that insults your
honesty."
Heney carefully reviewed every de
tail of the testimony and branded as
false the repeated accusations that
Rudolph Sprockets and James D. Phe
land bad covetous eyes on Calhoun's
railroad system. The courtroom, as
on yesterday, was overcrowded and
great throngs filled the streets try
ing to gain admission.
It It hoped that Judge William P.
Lawlor, after submission of the ar
gument, will elect to give his instruc
. tions, which will require about three
hours to deliver, and will give the
case to the jury in a night session.
Otherwise, -it Is admitted, the in
structions will be deferred until Sat
urday morning.
All Iiotwes Divide Spoil.
In hie argument yesterday after
noon, Mr. Heney exploited this story
of several political bosses with whose
history he manifested acquaintance:
"Go down the line," said the
speaker, "Remember Tweed, of New
York, Butler, of Missouri, 'Bllud
Chris' Buckley, Sam Ralney and Phil
CrlmmliiB, of San Francisco. Can
you recall whether they divided with
their subordinates? Do you suppose
they prospered without the co-operation
of the men they put in office?"
He attempted to demonstrate to
the jury that the prosecution had no
course open save to grant Immunity
to the supervisors who gave the most
direct testimony against the defend-
ant, and he related in every detail
the story of Abraham Ruef, Eugene
Schmltz and the other men charged
with complicity In the bribery of la
bor union administration.
Calls Abbott Villain.
One of .the several dramatic feat
ures of the day was when Mr. Heney
walked over to a point opposite Cal
houn and. shaking his finger at the
subject of his discourse, said:
"I am talking about William M.
Abbott, than whom no milder villain
ever cut a throat or scuttled a ship.
In appearance a Sunday School sup
erintendent, he is yet one of the men
who were responsible for this record
of black Iniquity."
Mr. Heney spoke In a courtroom
packed to the doors and crowded be
yond the doors Into the lobby of
Carpenters' Hall. Judge Frank H.
Dunne, before whom several of the
graft defendants have been tried,
shared the berch with Judge Lawlor
and the large audience Included sev
eral prominent clergymen.

Heney said:
"What a spectacle is this for Am
erican citizens. The history of the
country shows that the menace of
our existence as a republic lies in our
great cities, where we foster the
bosses. Bosses are not created they
merely take advantage of conditions.
They are supported by two classes,
as they were at the time of the sec
ond election of Eugene E. Schmltz.
One holds forth in the tenderloin,
where they want permits to commit I
crime, to run opium dens, dance halls
and to rob drunken men, hoping to
so arrange it that the police may be
blind. The other class preys from
above. They are the people who live
on Pacific avenue and in the so-called
fashionable neighborhoods. They
want higher dividends from their In
vestments In their gas and railway
privileges. But you don't mean that
they join hands with the tenderloin
to accomplish these ends? Yes, that's
exactly what I do mean. And this Is
what makes the boss possible. By
sending the Ruefs and that ilk to the
penitentiary you do not change con
ditions, you merely create a vacancy
for another boss."
Devote Life to Principle.
Mr. Heney said be was willing to
devote his life to a, principle; that he
had been forced by conditions to ac
cept a nomination for district attor
ney of San Francisco and he bitterly
scored the attorneys for the defense
on account of their criticism of his
acceptance of funds from Rudolph
Sprockets.
"Isn't there enough here of evi
dence of guilt to sink Patrick Cal
houn to the bottomless pit of hell?
Don't shrink, gentlemen, he Is only
as you and I, and he Is guilty. Every
hair in his head is guilty. Caught In
one crime, he has been back of a
dozen more to prevent his conviction
and obstruct the course of justice.
"A man will do much for his lib
erty, even to the commission of new
crimes. And Patrick Calhoun Is wil
ling to pull down this government of
which he boasts to be bo stalwart a
supporter.
Never Again Kndure Abuse.
"I have purposely refrained during
this trial from attempting to gain
the friendship of any man on this
Jury. I have done nothing to curry
your favor. But you have watched
me all these weeks and you know
what manner of man and what man
ner of prosecutor etauds before you.
You know whether or not I was Jus
tified in resenting what 1 did resent.
Is there one among you who would
have taken as much as I have taken?
1 did not mind it. I have been fight
ing for a principle.
"But I will never go into a court
again as long as I live and allow any
man to abuse me In the perform
ance of a public duty, so help me
Ood.
"I want to remind you that a di
rect appeal has been made by the de
fense to the prejudice of the Irish
men on this Jury. It Is a direct ap
peal to you Irishmen to violate your
oaths and betray your trust. You
are asked, after swearing to believe
the'supervlsors, to utterly reject their
testimony because they are inform
ers ,and the word was used because it
is abhorrent to every loyal Irishman,
i The asisstant district attornev
. made avowal of his candidacy for
, district attorney to the jury. He told
' of George Washington refusing the
I crown .and said:
"Washington, as a reward for thlp
sacrifice, was twice made president
of the United States by a noble peo
pie, just as a noble people in this
city may vindicate me by electing me
district attorney of San Francisco.
"I acknowledge that this is true,
I have an ambition to free my city
from Jury fixers and witness bribers
and an ambition to clear out the filth
that infests our public offices. And
I will fulfill that ambition if God per
mits me to live."

1'UKSIDEXT TAKT'S TRIP
TO PACIFIC COAST.
Plans for President Taft's trans
continental trip are being made by a
number of government ottldalu in and
out of the White Houbo. Until Con
gress passes the bill appropriating
5,000 for the executive s traveling
expenses for the flrst fiscal year, how
ever, these plans will bo only of a
tentative nature; indeed, it may be
said that uuttl the lawmakers "come
across" with the money, the president
will not even admit that he will make
the trip at all.
m not going to pay my own ex
penses out there, that Is certain,
he repeats, and even the congress
men who are planning to vote aKuinst
the bill whenever It makes Its ap
pearance, say they do not blame him
for taking that stand. He believes
the people of the country will be the
gainers by his journey ami he sees
no valid reason why he should foot
the travel bill personally.
Even should the 'i 5,000 appro
priation be made for Mr. Taft he may
not take the journey. Mrs. Taft has
been -looking forward to the western
tour with a great deal of pleasure and
the president declares that if she can
not share in the excursion, he will
not go himself, even if he was as
sured that she stood in no danger of
a return of her preseut nervous trou
ble during his absence. She is now
rapidly recovering from the recent
attack, however, and her physician.
Naval Surgeon Do Laney, is confident
that by the time the president ex
pects to leave Beverly, Mass., for the
west, she will have been restored to
perfect health.
If the president goes west he will
establish a record for economical
traveling that has never been ap
proached by any occupant of the
White House since the day of our
great grandfathers when private cars
and special trains were unknown. He
will make the trip with his eye on
the expense account all the way, and
will not have a special train. In
fact, If ho could proceed from here to
the Coast and back again In half
comfort, he would not even go to the
extravagance of chartering a private
car, but would "wire ahead for "a
lower berth away from the wheels" at
every step of the journey. His ad
visers have persuaded him, however,
to forsake his old friend Democratic
Simplicity, for a few weeks and put
on enough plutocratic style to hire a
car. This will spare him the almost
hourly annoyance of crowds invading
his presence. If he traveled In an
ordinary day or Pullman coach, he'd
be surrounded by a mob from the
middle of September to the middle of
November. He'd not be able to open i
his mouth for a morsel of food with- I
out the mob noting the action and
measuring . the mouthful. If Mrs.
raft did not suffer a return of ner
vous prostration inside of three days,
under such conditions, she would be
more than human. Therefore, and for
these reasons alone, the president has
told his subordinates to figure on a
private car for him "If ' the trip Is
made. '
. When the subject of the coast-to- .
coast trip was first considered by the
president two or three months ago,
the railroad men, who were asked to
give an estimate of the expense in
volved if a special train was used all
the way, figured that It would codt
at least $17,000. So that now every
time the Biibject of a special train is
brought to the attention of Secretary
Carpenter ho turns pale.
Mr. Taft will be the fourth presi
dent to make a tour to the Paciilc
coast. His predecessors in this re
gard were Benjamin Harrison, Mc
Klnley and Roosevelt. Each of them
made the swing around the circle in
a comfortable special train, but it
may be added that the public treas
ury was not called upon, to pay the
transportation bill. They were the
guests of the railroads all the way,
for the Hepburn law was then un
dreamt of.
The otllclals who are preparing the
itinerary for President Taft are try
ing to bo arrange his trip that he will
be able to visit a large number of
places at certain specific and Inter
esting dates. As he has received
hundreds of urgent Invitations and
cannot possibly accept one-tenth of
the number, the taBk mapped out for
the trip-framers isn't half as easy as
squaring the circle or signalling Mars.
He has given his promise to visit San
Francisco on October 19, and to look
In on the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep
Waterway convention at New Orleans,
November 11th to 13th. The exposi
tion will take him to Seattle, Wash.,
and he will try to visit other places
on certain festal occasions. Secre
tary Carpenter announces, however,
that if the president makes the trip
he will not be able to stop at the little
places, as he did during the campaign
toun His car will b hitrhed to
through trains, most of the time, and
if the people in the small towns want
to see him, they'll have to get up
early in the morning and go to the
cities where his meetings are held.
