SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14. (9 a. m. 1 Fram-is J. Heney, who was shot ye.Uurday by Morris Haas, pas sed a good night at the hospital and is resting quietly today. He Is In full possesion of his faculties, and the report that the wound would deprive him of his speech is denied. The attending surgeons are holding a consultation this morning on the ad . visabilHy- of removing the bullet, which found lodgement under the right jaw. The brain was not touched. The latest bulletin, issued at 2 o'clock this morning by Dr. Ed win S. Bunnell, says that Heney wil reeoyer unless complications set in. 4 wm MM E roREMOSTDRY.GOODS ESTABLISHMENT Mass Meeting Tonight. After immense crowds watched the bulletin boards all night, getting an nouncements of Heney's condition, public sentiment settled down into sullenness, which the police Inter pret as foreboding evil. Strong men are urging moderation, and every ef fort is being made to prevent a state of anarchy which will follow any overt act. After an all-night session, the Citi zens' League of Justice, whteh is fathering the graft prosecution, to day issued an appeal for a mass meet ing tonight to decide upon a plan of action regarding the continuance of Heney's work. The appeal says, in part: "We appeal to the calm reason of the citizens to preserve order. Let us proceed only by processes of law, looking not for vengeance, but for swift justice through the courts. The prosecution will proceed; we aro assured that the Ruef trial, will re sume next Monday." . Despite the conservative wording of the appeal, the police are taking every precaution to prevent violence at tonight's meeting. Examiner Blamed. Rudolph Spreckles, owner of the San Francisco Call and one of Mr. Heney's strongest supporters, said to a United Press representative to day. "When I was approached by an Examiner reporter last night and ask ed for a statement concerning the murderous attack on Mr. Heney, 1 said: 'Tell Mr. Hearst that I believe he is responsible for this attempted murder.' This constant vilification, ridiculing and caricaturing of Mr.. Heney in the Examiner, which is owned by Hearst, is much responsible for the shooting, which Is not unlike the assassination of President Mc Kfnley, which is laid at the door of such yellow journals as Mr. Hearst owns." Wm. J. Burns, the detective, who is associated with Mr. Heney in the graft cases, declared today that the shooting was the result of a deliber ate plot planned by the "Higher Ups." r Burns declares that Haas Copyright 190I fcf Hut Schiffaet It Mum vhVe been treating people square practiced target shooting with a pis tol for weeks. Huns Trained His Aim. Rude scrawls of targets, drawn with pencil, shattered boards in the cellar and alley way found at his home today by the police, furnish un mistakable evidence that Morris H aas, who at tern pted to m u rder Heney, had been practicing to im prove his aim. Neighbors frequent ly heard shots, but upon Investiga tion found nothing. Haas awoke in jail today appar ently unconcerned over Heney's con dition or his own fate. At his little home on McAllister Btreot his wife and children are being consoled by neighbors. Story of the Crime. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13. The San Francisco bribery-graft cases had a dramatic climax today, when As sistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney, who has been in charge of the prosecution during Its course of two years, was shot and seriously wounded In the crowded courtroom by Morris Haas, an ex-convict. The shooting occurred during a brief re cess In the third trial of Abrnham Ruef on the charge of bribery, which Is now in its 11th week. The would-be assassin Is a Jew and a saloonkeeper, who was drawn upon the jury panel in the second trial of Ruef and, after having been tem porarily passed by both sides, was exposed in a dramatic manner by Mr. Heney as an ex-convict and dis charged from the jury. Haas de clared after the shooting that Heney had ruined his life by this exposure and that he had determined to kill Mr. Heney for that reason. Upon being taken to prison, he said: "Heney ruined me. I don't care what becomes of me now. , A Cowardly Act, When recess was declared, Mr. Heney, Instead of going outside to enjoy a brief airing, stepped for a moment into an ante-room, and then came back to his counsel table. White many of the persons who crowded the courtroom-had gone out Overcoat Weather Say, Mr. Man If you've never ex perienced the pleasant warmth; the solid comfort; the pleasant conscious ness of being well-dressed; the deep, thorough satisfaction that comes of wearing one of our Hart Schaffner & Marx Overcoats it isn't too late to learn. A pleasure to us to show them a pleasure to you to see them. $18 to $25 SINCE 1877 OF SOUTHERN OREGON J. UOOSKVKI.T SHOCKED. Special to the Review. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14. John D. Spreckels today re ceived the following telegram from President Roosevelt: "1 am Inexpressibly shocked at the attempted assassination of Mr. Heney. 1 earnestly hope he will recover. The in famous character of the would be assassin Is no less thnn the infnmous character of the deed. It calls attention In a very tragic way to the true character of the forces against which Mr. Heney, yourself and your associates are battling. on the sidewalk, there was still a large crowd In the room. Mr. Honey was leaning over on his table, conversing In low tonos wllh Al. McCnbe. chief clerk of . the Dis trict Attorney's office. Directly In front of him was James L. (Inlla gher', the witness, and a newspaper representative had Just walked to Mr. Heney's tnble and was standing at his left elbow, waiting for an op portunity to speak to him, when a small man, neatly attired and having a decidedly Jewish cast of counten ance, approached tho assistant dis trict attorney from behind ill quick steps, but with deliberation. Sud denly his right hand shot out and, before the newspaperman, Mr. Mc Cabe or John Foley, Mr. Heney's special bodyguard, sitting about eight feet away, could make a move, there was a flash and a loud report rang through tho courtroom. For a moment everybody Boomed stunned and paralyzed. The would be assassin, whose revolver was with in a foot and a half of Mr. Honey's head when he pulled the trigger, stepped back, his arms by his side, one hand still clutching the smoking pistol, as If hesitating what to do. Before the assassin could raise hie pistol again Mr. Foley and K. J. Wisflotihlll, a special policeman, were upon him, had thrown hlin to the floor and wrested the weapon from his grasp. Ruef's nutomoblle stood In front of the building nnd he Immediately ordered his chauffeur to get the nearest physician. The report of the attempted assns '':.vlrn niroad throughout the cllv like wllclriie and caused intense ex citement and Indignation. Itllcf Out IK I!,.hIIh. In a corner of the courthouse Mr. Ach and Mr. Dozier, Ruef's coun sel, wero in the chambers of Judge LawJor. "My God," extlalmed Mr. Ach. "I wish I had never taken a criminal case In my life. I will never take another when I get out of this one. This is a dastardly outrage. I can not express myself In strong enough terms. Mr. Heney did not denounce this man Hass. If he is the one who did the shooting. In pursuance of his duty he disclosed the fact, dur ing the other trial of Mr. Ruef, that Haas was nn ex-convlc.t and as such had him dismissed from tho Jury box. I Blncorely hope that Mr. Heney will recover." Mr. Hosier nlso regretted thnt he was engnged In a criminal case after having several times made a resolu tion that he would not again take one. "It's getting to bo a pretty state of affairs when a man engaged In the performance of his duty js shot down In an open courtroom," he said. "It was a dastardly act, an out rageous deed. Ri.of denounced the attempted as sassination most vehemently. "I cannot find iangunge strong enough to denounce the attempt to kill Mr. Honey." Htlef Sheltered til .Tail. As soon as a soinblnnco of order wns restored, the court ordered Ruef, who has been at liberty on bonds aggregating $ I ,.100,000, Into the cus tody of the sheriff and he was soon afterward taken to the county Jail. Tho action of Judge l.nwlor In ordering nuer into custody was taken. It Is said, not so much for fear that he would endeavor to ften as for his own safety from possible moo violence, evidently fearing that some demonstration might be madi also against the would-be AKsnsnl n the police removed him tonight from tne cay prison. Hvm-f'n Dei liiriitliin. "I'll live to prosecute that man,' declared Mr. Ilenev on the onernt Ing table at the Central Kmergency hospital, while the surgeons were pronmg his wound. The wounded man was entirely conscious and grit tily endured the ordeal. Motive for linn' Crime. Haas was convicted of embezzle ments in San Hernanllno county, and on May 23, 1SKS. was sentenced to three years in San 0'ientln. He serv ed two years anil eight months, hal ing earned four months by grwul be havlor, and was released January 2". 1890. Rome years later he was married, and has a wife and four children. He lived with his family at 184H McAllister street, and was engaged In the saloon business at In time he was drawn on the Jury pnnel for the second trial of Ruef last May. After he had been passed by both sides, Mr. Heney learned thnt he was an ex-convlct. He dramatic ally confronted Haas with his pic ture In convict strips, closely-crop ped hair and number across his breast. Haas was forced to admit his penitentiary record anil was Int mediately discharged from the Jury From his statement It apears that he has been brooding over his ex- posure ever since that day. and has nursed a deep hatred for Mr. Heney. which culminated In today's tragedy. Heney nnd Ills Work. Tho Portland Oregoniun Bays, edi torially: That Heney has done, on the whole, a good and grent work. The Oregonlnn fully believes. Thut In some of his methods he wns not Ju dicious and wise, Is conceded. Yet it remains that Heney has done a great work. One principle of hnmnn nature he has antagonized, which has rendered his work unpopular. Ho has used certain malefactors for conviction of others. Now it is a common thought that this Is wrong. It is snid that Heney has pushed certain men to ex tremity, who were no worse thnn those whoso acts and crimes he has condoned. Therefore It is argued that, since nil can't be punished, none should be. Tho Oregonlnn does not ngroc with this reasoning or with its con clusion. Heney,' wo havo thought, has not always done his work Judiciously, but Boclety has a right to use all pos sible means for conviction and pun- isnment or those who rob and op press it. It hns'a right to grant im munity to some, for their testi mony against others, and to get nt the proof against those who are rob bing It, how it can. Heney, then, has simply been a public servunt, pursuing public thieves. The reslBtunce he hns met, even from those who should wnnt public thieves punished, is nmnzing. The general ground of the opposition Is expressed in the Inquiry, "why should this man be let off nnd that man punished?" Hecnuso legal tes timony must be had or nobody will be punished, and the Iniquity will go on forever; nnd besides, society must always use, as It has a right to use, tho lesser criminals for conviction of the greater, so as to break up the system. Whether nnybody hns liked Heney or not is nothing to tho purpose. He has been breaking up rings or thieves in California and Oregon, and has done some mighty good work. The personality of Heney Is no more than an incidental factor. He lias put a Btop to u mighty deal of wrong doing. Only by iti'Iefntlgable pursuit of the principals in it could tills be done. Their Bntellites have been likely to murder him, nt any time. No man could stand In his place with out taking that risk. In the case of Heney, during years past, many have thought of It.
