Tha charges of grafting made against

Police Commissioner Thomas Reagan,
ona of his appointees. Tecall the fact '
that Assistant Attorney General
Francis J. Heney, now tn this city to
prosecute land fraud cases, attacked
tha Sohmlts administration Isst Novem
ber for ttS dishonesty and was bitterly
denounoed in many quarters for so do- ,
ing. It now looks ss it the sensational
Reagan, letter is a vindication of Uaney.
It waa in a speeoh at the closing rally
la behalf of John S. Partridge, who was
the opposition . candidate for mayor
against Schmlts. that Heney threw hla -bomb.
Speaking of Jibe Ruef ' political
creator, legal advfesr and supposed part
ner or nonmita, ne declared that Ruef
was oorrnupt, guaranteeing to prove It If
he were permitted to conduct an tnvestl- .
gatlon before the grand Jury, The dla
trlct attorney showed no disposition .to
stsp aside temporarily, and no th Ins-
cam of tha charges except denunciation '
of Heney. The grand Jury called Heney
before It, but took no further action. "
It was Ruef a boaat at th. tlm that
ha had enough friends among the Jurors
to protect his Interests. Hewever, aa
Heney knew about the matters which ,
Besgan has Just made public, If Is more
likely that he kept back more' than he
told, not 'desiring to put Ruef in pos
session cf ammunition that might be
needed. for a future prosecution, gome
people say that It la lucky for Sohmlts
that Heney is now busy tn Oregon, ,
Ths charges made by Reagan are that '
Mayor Sohmlts personally tried to In-,
duee him to take part In a whiskey graft .
that would pay 160 a barrel, offering
to divide equally ; that Schmlts Is th
owner of numerous disreputable hous;
that Schmlts took part In a conspiracy
to destroy th reputation of Police Com
missioner Hutton, - who was removed
"for cause": that Schmlts stood In with
the French restaurants, which had raised
a fund of 111,000 to protect the lodging
house featurea of their buslnsss. sad
that Sohmlts Is now -vainly trying to
Induce Andrew' Furuseth, leader of th
