HENEY COMES TO OREGON TO ANSWER SENATOR FULTON
is
PROSECUTOR NOT CALLED OFF FROM
ATTACK BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
IGNORE PERSONALITIES
BUT PROVE ACCUSATIONS
Land Fraud Prosecutor Will Probably Speak In Med
ford and Follow Fulton Over State-Will Make Pub
lie Proof of His Alleged Corruption. at Portland
Saturday Evening-Will Wage Aggressive Fight.
President Roosevelt has not called
Francis ,1. Heney off t'rnm the Pulton
senatorial fight. Hp hat not interfered
at all with the program of alleged cor
ruption exposure outlined some time
since by the celebrated graft prosecu
tor. Instead, Mr. Ileaey is now in Or
egon with the expressed and avowed
purpose of "going after'' Senator Ful
ton, of malting :ui aggressive fight
against Oregon's senior senator, of fol
lowing him about tlie state and making
speeches in Med ford and wherever Mr.
Fulton has niado them.
Mr. Heney paused thruugh Medford
Friday morning en route to Portland,
where he will publicly answer Saturday
evening the accusations made ngainst
him by Mr. Fulton in It is recent Med
ord speech. Mr. Heney refused to
iv a detailed outline of what his an
swer will be, but dropped hints sug
gesting that it will be fiery enough.
Is on the Aggressive.
"I am not on the defensive," said
Mr. Heney to the Tribune representa
tive. "1 have nothing to defend. I
am not ft public officer seeking ro-eleo-tion
and have no charges of corruption
to reply to. I do not fight on the de
fensive. It's not my way." and the
prosecutor 's famous smile lighted up
his fnce, while his gray eyes hnvdened.
;" T will conduct n nggressive cam
paign. I will prove the charges I have
made and come prepared to back up my
assertions.
"Jn order to reply to Mr. Fulton I
have come to Oregon at considerable
personal sacrifice. T have two graft
prosecution cases under way at San
Francisco, and have got my partner to
look after the selection 'of jurymen
whilo I'm away.
"There is no truth in the assertion
published that President KnosevcH at
tempted to call me off or interfered
with the campaign I proposed to wage
against Senator Kulton. The president
never interfered ono wav or the other.
CREATING PREJUDICE

that the university hires a football

than to see that he is the right kind of

Tluv say also that the university has

As .1 matter of record, the enemies of1,

Mr. Heney looks a little older than
when he conducted t ho land fraud cases
at Portland a few years ago, but has
not changed much with the years. He
intimated t lint he would follow Senator
Fulton about the state, speaking wher
ever tho senator had spoken. When
told of the slander suit ex-Senator
Smith had brought against Fulton, he
laughed heartily, but ro fused to com

the Medford Tribune containing Sena

him,

every day places us oa the safer side,
so far as injury from late frosts is con

' ' Peaches and apricots are already
in bloom in some portions of the state,

of the rivers, secure from th frost,
and no damage to the blooms has yet
