Heney was shot through the head about G o'clock yesterday after noon in the court room during the tiial of the third Ruef case. The assassin was Maurice Haas,, a saloon keeper and ex-convlct, whom Heney had rejected as a juror in the former Ruef trial.

There was an Immediate rush for the assassin who was seized and thrown into the jury box and held until placed under arrest Heney was removed to the hos pital where the physicians stated that although ho is dangerously wounded he possibly would live. Haas stated, "Heney exposed my record in court, and ruined my busi ness. I am even with him now and do not caro what happens to me." The court had just taken a recess and the jury in tho present trial was not present. Today Heney's physicians stated that he will recover from the effects of the injury unless something un foreseen develops. At the end of an anxious night at Lane hospital where Heney's wife and several relatives awaited the first news of a change in his condi tion, reported that the patient dis played symptoms' most favorable. Ho slept long and well with no recur rence of the nausoa that last night followed the shock and pain of tho wound. Intimate associates are united in the belief that the In domitable energy which characterized his work as prosecutor in this city and elsewhere, will contribute to wards his recovery and tho physi cians, while speaking guardedly, ap peared to concur. The bullet was located near the right ear and did not penetrate the brain as was first feared. Wild Night In 'Frisco.

(By Associated Press.) SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14. The (following telegram supplementing ne to Francis J. Heney, which has not yet been made public, has been received from President Roosevelt by Rudolph Spreckels! "White House, November 14. Rudolph Spreckels, San Francisco. I am inexpressibly shocked by the attempted assassina tion of Heney and most earnestly hope that he will recover. The in famous character of the would-be as sassin and the no less infamous char j acter of the deed call attention In a striking way to the true character of the forces against which Heney and you and your associates have been struggling. Every decent American, who has honor and the Interests of the country at heart, should join, not only In putting a stop to the wave of violent crime of which this man's act Is T)ut one of the symptoms, but also In stamping out the heinous -corruption In which men like this would-be assassin art; bred and flnur ish and this can only be done by war ring, as Heney has warred, relentless ly against every man who is guilty of corrupt practice without any regard to his social standing, or to his prom inence. . "I earnestly hope that Heney will recover and 1 give utterance to what I know would be Heney's wish when I say I earnestly hope that whether he recovers or not, there will be no faltering In tho work In which Heney has been so gallant and efficient a, leader.

A great harbor will develop commerce, bring railroads and make you a great city." This was the gist of a talk mado by C. A. Smith of the C. A. Smith Lumber and Manufacturing Company at the Chamber of Commerce last evening. It was a plain, matter of. fact statement in a cool business way but It struck home to the audlenco which filled the hall and was enthu siastically approved. Mr. Smith was. one of several speak "rs at the meet ing at which 1. S. Smith, vlco-prcsl-dent of the Chamber of Commerce, presided. Among the others who spoke were Peter Loggie, Francis H. Clarke, Capt. M. W. Hunt of Welser, Idaho and Capt. Magenn of tha Breakwater. "I want to congratulate Marsh fleld on Its rapid development," said Mr. Smith, In substance. "I could scarcely realize yesterday when I stepped onto the wharf that it was Marshfleld the city I visited last about six months ago. The new buildings, the Improved streets and all scarcely enabled me to recognize It. The new hotel towering up as It does, tho beautiful new school on Its sightly location and tho residences and business buildings that havo sprung up as if by magic wefo mora than gratifying. "Soon after we crossed In over tho bar, I encountered a sight that did my heart good the dredge working in the bay. It was something that I had hoped for, something you all' wanted and hoped for and tho realiz ation was more than gratifying. In this connection, let me tell you to keep it keep it going hero until you havo the harbor as well as tho chan nel In the Bay. The gathering: to--nlght demonstrates that you are alive' to your needs and that you will do tho best you can. Keep tho dredge. Do It by whatever means possible. You havo made money out of tho development of Marshfleld nnd uso some of It If necessary to convince tho government of the necessity of Improving Coos Bay. "Coos Bay is tho great harbor h& tween San Francisco and Puget Sound. San Francisco is 400 miles to tho southward and between It and Coos Bay there is scarcely a possi bility of creating a safe landing for vessels. Impress upon tho govern ment tho necessity of making It what It should be. Interest your members of congress before they re turn to tho next session two or threo weeks hence. The government is able to help you. It Is spondlng lots of inoney elsewhere whore It will not do as much good as here. It Is spending a million or so constructing ' dams across the Mississippi at Min neapolis and In my opinion and in tho opinion of many, It won't do much good. If tho government can lavish inoney on work like that, it Is nblo to help Coos Bay. "You need railroad facilities a railroad to carry your products to eastern Oregon and Idaho and securo their products. But let tho harbor bo your hue and your cry. Its devel opment will mean tho development ot your city and bring tho railroads and tho commercial greatness that you desire. Keop tho dredge and make the inner bay a real harbor and have tho jetty oxtonded, tho bar Im proved." "Your Chamber of Commoice Is doing a great work Coming up on tho boat, I met a man and family coming neif fiom Chicago. They hntl heard f Coos Boy and weia de termined to see it.
