HOW HENEY
By Louis Honlg la 8an Francisco Call.
ITTLE did .Francis J. Heney think
, six years ago, when ha under
took the Mibh A KjaUflAMUUea
District Jutfg Aoyes In the clr-
' cult court, that thla very case
. r worn Id put him practically at the head
of tha graft prosecution in thla city to
' 1 day.- Such, however, is the cine, and.
If there had been no Judge Noyes. no
Alaska ring, no spoilers of the fir
. north. It la more than likely that Frank
Heney would today be no more than
tha hundred and one other successful
1 . lawyers of California. hi" nsme un
blaaoned by the magazine writers, his
reputation circumscribed by ,n eon"
fines of his own local habitation.
Attracted Knox's Attention.
. t The 'prosecutor's participation In tha
Alaska, ring cases brought him within
tha purview of the then United States
, attorney-general, Thllander C. Knox,
a man who wai always on the lookout
for new talent to reinforce his fighting
Staff. Like many other lawyers Heney
got hi first Impetus toward his great- -eat
accomplishments by starting on tha
Opposite aide. But he waa too good a
nan to let stay on tha wrong side of tha
fence. The attorney-general wanted
Heney and he got him, the reault being
that Instead of defending men deep
. dyed in governmental iniquity according
: to the privileges and rights of an at
torney, Heney became tha relentless
pursuer of the man who by corruption
fattens on his fellowa. The big cor-
Jiorations reach out continually for tha
swyera who beat them In the courts.
That la one of the tributes paid to tal
ent In limey's cuse the government
recognised his ability aa a fighting foe
and when the proper time arrived tha
private lawyer became tha publlo
prosecutor.
The Alaska ring cases did mora than
make Francis J. Heney the prosecutor
In the Oregon land fraud scandala.
They gave to the preaent day American
literature one of the most popular
novela published, "The Spoilers' Rex
Beach, the author, heard the plot of his
freat story from men who lived;
hrough the stressful times when the
real apollera were at work trying to
defraud them of everything for which
they braved the dangers and the hard
ships of the bleak and uninviting
north. He went to Nome, picked up a
lot of local color, became saturated
with the atmosphere, and then, mar
shal tor his facta, weaved through It
all a love theme of absorbing Interest.
As far aa the fundamental Incidents of
the story are concerned, tha author
might Just as well have listened to the
taking; of testimony in tha United
tstates commissioner's courtroom when
tha pabltc first became acquainted with
the fraod and conniption that waa
planned, plotted and consummated In
tats kitfceno oaexplored country. The
fiettoa e th book is the salient truth
of reality.

threats of direful dea traction. For
some time after this case both lawyers
harbored a growing ill feeling for each
other, but thla gave way later on to
a perfect amiability. In the Bchmlts
trial the sparks that were believed
dead were fanned Into a hot flame, and
now Metson and Heney do not speak

MacKenale had Imagination and ha
longed for other conquests. If tha yel
low output of these claims was as big
as his Informer asserted, It was worth
looking Into. Consultations with his
henchmen followed and within a few
months MacKenale had enlisted - the
services of a number of active poli
ticians, soma of national reputation.
The receivership In the water caaes had
worked without a, hitch. Why not tie
up all these rich Clalma In Alaska In a
perfectly lawful way? The Judge, the
judge is the thing, thought MacRenxle,
and, wasting no time, he started out to
get him. Tne Judge first, then tha re
ceiver. That waa all he needed.
In 1898 the Nome country was undls
trlcted. MacKensle'a first efforts were
directed towsrd Washington and a big
and broader plot waa hatched than
was at first thought necessary. The
conspiracy was carried right into the
national legislature, when a law was
fussed making Noma a Judicial dls
rlct and authority was given1 Presi
dent McKInley to appoinj a Judge.
Then begun the play of the politicians
for the Judgeship. San Francisco fig
ured In that fight, too, for the federal
big bugs In this locality thought the
patronage should go to San Francisco.
The MacKenale influences were too
strong, however, and Judge Arthur
Noyea received the appointment
mm mia
through to the flntah. In tha r.r nr..
of the Nome region there was a young
sian who, aa those who know say, was
the author's model for the part of
Olenlster. His name Is Oabe Price and
he came from Tuolumua county. His
uncle, familiarly known aa Charley
Lane, waa one of the first to get into
Nome and waa one of the men who felt

It was by the exercise of this physical

Among those who came to realise the
completeness of MacKenzle's politics
was a group of Baltimore financiers
Judge Noyes or Judge "Stillman."
Judge Noyes Judge Arthur Stillman
1n the story was an old friend of Mac
Kenzie. He had served his master In
Bismarck, but at the time of the open
ing of the plot of "Tha Spoilers" In fact
he had migrated to another section
In the northwest. MacKenzie stood
his sponsor and by means both
fair and foul Influences were brought
to bear which resulted In Noyes' ap
pointment being made, to the great
disgust of a number of other poli
ticians In Washington who were look
ing for the same Job. The rest was
eaay.
Tha lessons of tha Bismarck water
scheme receivership were then brought
Into Instant force and within a vary
few days a line of action was planned
and put Into operation. On the way
north Judge Noyes met men who were
In on the deal and they worked over
the details carefully before the actual
landing In Nome was made. To pre
vent an interruption In their plana the
conspirators enlisted the district at
torney In their causa and engaged
lawyers who became part and parcel
of the conspiracy. On July -JS, 160,
Judge Noyes landed In Nome. On th
day following Alexander MacKenale
was appointed receiver for the richest
mlnea In the district and the fight
began. The story of "Tha Sopllers"
begins shortly before the actual ap
pearance of the Judge on the Nome
coast, no part of It being devoted to
the preliminaries except In explana
tory form. The author found enough
of stirring sdventure, exciting situa

Process that lasted several montha. E.

counseled Noyes not to obey the writs)
and Attorney Thomas J. Oeary of Santa
Rosa (who likewise gave advice to the
fallen Judge) were guilty of contempt
Geary waa completely exonerated, but
Noyes was sentenced to pay a fine of
$1,000. Judge Ross in his opinion said
that he should be punished with 18
months' Imprisonment, but the major

Heney's defense of Noyes showed the
mettle that waa in him. He waa asso

helm when the arguments were to bo

was a hard one and had been scrlmonl
oualy fought by both side. Washing

lost Its Interest on account of tha lapsa
of time, Heney went to Washington In
the Interest of another client. He was
surprised to find out that the attorney
general knew all about him and that
