Heney for the position of District Attorney at the recent primary election held In the Bay City Is proof positive that the peo- pis of Saa Francisco approve of ths graft . ' prosecutions and will Insist that th re maining trials be pushed, according to James D. Phelan, ey-Mayor of San Fran cisco, who is at the Portland en route to Seattle. "It was originally decided by the friends of Mr. Heney to nominate himby petition and not place his name in nomi nation In the open primaries." said Mr. Phelan. "This was a rather difficult matter as It would require 2500 names to secure his nomination, but even so. his friends were so confident that they pre ferred to take this chance rather than have him run as a party candidate. "Just a few days before the primaries a movement was started, however, to write his name cm the ballot and the result was that he was nominated "by a safe plurality. This shows to me more forcibly than anything else that the pub lic conscience is right and that the elec tion will result in Mr. Heneys over whelming choice. It is a positive rebuke to the rich malefactorswho have been buying immunity, through Juries, attor neys and judges and means a better order of things in San Francisco." Mr. Phelan, accompanied by Mrs. Downey Harvey and Miss Genevieve Har vey, his sister and niece, motored from the Bay City as'far north .as Shasta Springs when, deterred by bad roads they took the train and shipped the ma chine here. Tomorrow they will start for Seattle overland and expect to spend several days at the Exposition. . HEILIG TO BE REOPENED OCTOBER WILIi sjK THEATER IX COMJIISSIOX AGAIN. Alterations Involving Between $lTf 000 and $20,000 Muat Me Made, Name of House to Be Changed, The Heillg Theater, closed by the summary order of Mayor Lane on May 31. will be remodeled at once and will be ready to be opened again to the public between October 10 and October 15. Following several thorough exam inations made by the building Inspector and his assistants. In addition to an Inspection by the executive board and the fire committee, the owners of the building were notified yesterday that the theater may be reopened on mak ing certain specifically named altera tions. These alterations consist prin cipally In the strengthening of the foundation and the supports. This the owners have been only too willing and ready to do, according to their state ment, and have only been awaiting some action of the building Inspector in order that the work may be started at once. The plans for the alterations have already been drawn. Estimates rang ing from $17,000 to $20,000 have been secured, and a permit to make the required alterations will be secured this morning. As soon as this is grant ed, the work wiir be pushed to' a rapid completion, it Being estimated by var ious contractors that the playhouse can be ready for occupation by October 10 or 15. That this work will be done was de cided at a meeting held last evening by the principal holders in the Asso ciated Investment Company, owners of the building, consisting of S. Morton Cohn. I. Lowengart. D. Soils Cohen and Alexander Bernstein. At this meeting it was decided to . open negotiations with four distinct Important theatrical firms to take a lease for as long a time as the municipal authorities will permit theaters in frame buildings. "When the building is reopened it will certainly not be known as the Heillg Theater. It will unquestionably not be leased to Mr. Heillg or his as sociates," stated Melvin G. Winstock, general legal representative of the owners. "The name will be changed, although what it will be I cannot tell. I have seen a number of prominent con tractors and have from them an opinion that the building as remodeled under the plans and specifications will be as safe as it will be possible for any frame theater to be. Of course all the alterations will not be in the way of making the building stronger. We are going to spend a lot of money In beau tifying the interior, and will have the prettiest theater in town when It Is finished." The Heillg Theater was bnltt as the Columbia four and a half years ago. Later the name was changed to' the Belasco, and a year thereafter It be came the Heillg. On the last day of May of this year the building was con demned by Mayor Lane and ordered closed, and since that time the own ers have been endeavoring to secure the permission granted yesterday to proceed with the remodeling of the structure.

TUFT COMES OCT. 2 ! Committee Arranges for En j lerraiaing President. PUBLIC TALK AT ARMORY Mayor Simon and Associates Hold First Meeting and Prepare Tenta tive Programme for Reception to Nation's Executive. President Taft will be the guest of Portland Saturday. October 2, if Secre tary Carpenter accepts the programme outlined to him yesterday In a telegram from Mayor Simon, chairman of the com mittee which has the arrangements in charge. Motor rides about the city in the morning, address at the Armory in the afternoon and banquet at night, Is the tentative plan, which will be elab orated upon as the occasion may demand, or it will be altered If not agreeable to Secretary Carpenter. Sunday will be left to the President to do as he chooses. The first session of the- committee named by Mayor Simon to arrange the' programme was held yesterday after noon, the Mayor presiding. A majority of the members were present. After some discussion, a motion was made and car ried authorizing the chair to appoint a committee of five to arrange the details and to submit a programme to the com mittee of the whole as soon -as possible. Mayor Simon appointed T. B. Wilcox, Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, F. W. Mulkey, J. C. Afnsworth and B. S. Josselyn. They compiled the following telegram, which was sen at once: Message Sent to Taft. "Fred W. Carpenter, Secretary, Execu tive Office. Beverly, Mass.: Following programme for your approval: Commit tee will meet President and party at depot and escort with military to hotel for breakfast with committee; after breakfast, shown about city in motors; return to hotel for lunch, which may be private if desired; afternoon, public ad dress at Armory, with reception follow ing; banquet in the evening, about 3(0 covers. Sunday entirely at (President s pleasure, but committee will gladly ar range details and submit II desired. "JOSEPH SIMON, Mayor.' It Is the belief of the committee, as expressed yesterday, that President Taft should be the guest of the entire city after he reaches Portland, and that the occasion should be made memorable be cause the people have an opportunity to meet and hear him. In reply to a question by Mayor Simon, Mr. Wilcox said that he had invited the President to his house while here, but that the President replied he would pre fer to make his visit more public, and that he would go to a hotel. Reserva tions will be made for him and his of ficial party, all expenses being borne by the committee, unless the President de sires to pay the bill himself: it is the de sire of the committee to show him the utmost courtesy and to make him com fortable while in Portland. Judge George H. Williams suggested an automobile ride about the city for Saturday morning, and a public, meeting at the Armory In the afternoon, as he said he believed the President will want to meet the people and that he will be glad to address them. This idea met with general approval by the other mem bers of the committee, and was embodied In the tentative programme. Sunday to Himself. Mayor Simon announced that he had received word from the First Congrega tional and First Baptist Churches invit ing President Taft to attend worship in those 'edifices Sunday, October S. This led to a discussion by the members of the committee as to what is best to plan for that day, and It was finally decided that the most fitting thing is to leave Sunday open, for whatever the President may wish to do; the committee will place Itself at his disposal. Dr. W. G. Eliot, Jr., who is minister of the First Unitarian Church, it was stated by Mayor Simon, wished the President to know that he will be welcome there. The President Is a member of the Unitarian Church. Ex-Senator Fulton said he thinks the President will very likely de sire to attend church Sunday morning, as It is his usual custom. ' H. S. Rowe suggested that, the weather being pleasant, the public reception be held in one of the parks, and this will be considered by the sub-committee. That Vancouver, Wash., be Included in the programme, was suggested by Mr. Jos selyn. but it was thought best by some to confine this simply to a participation by the military and not to try to take the President there, unless he expresses a desire to go. The military escort will be from the barracks there. As soon as Secretary Carpenter replies to Mayor Simon's telegram, the commit tee of the whole will be called together, and final arrangements will be made. The committee will have a great deal of work to do between now and the Presi dent's visit. Hugh Hume was elected secretary of the committee.
