Doctor Btillman. Huntington, Moffatt
and several other prominent surgeons.
Mr. Heney was etherised and was under
the anaesthetic for one hour. The bullet
was found imbedded In the muscular part
of the Jaw near Important blood vessels,
which required great care and delicacy In
operating and was responsible for con
suming so much time In the operation.
The actual work of removing the piece
of lead, when the surgeons finally
reached it. took but SO minutes.
The left jaw Done had not been broken,
though It may have been slightly splin
tered. The bullet was a little flattened
ot the side and broken at the point
There Is still danger of Infection from the
metal, but no Indications of this were
found and none are expected to develop.
Heney Rallies Rapidly.
The wounded man la reported to have
stood the ordeal remarkably well and ral
lied rapidly after coming out from under
the Influence of the ether. At 1 o'clock
this afternoon hla pulse and respiration
were normal, but hla temperature was a
little high.
Mrs. Heney. who has been in constant
attendance upon her husband since the
day of the shooting, was at the hospital
with several friends and relatives await
ing the result of the operation. She bore
herself bravely during the suspense, but
wa, greatly relieved by the optimistic
reports made by the surgeons. No un
foreseen complications arising, the op
erating surgeons predict that Mr. Heney s
recovery will be quite rapid.

elsewhere throughout the state preachers

meetings were held where the sympathy
of the people In attendance was extended
to the wounded prosecutor and his '"""
Indorsed. At the hospital where he Is
confined there has been read an ever-increasing
stream of telegrams from all
parts of the world asking for news of his
progress and expressing regret for the act
that so nearly cost him his life.

No date na yet been set for the Inquest
over the remains of Morris Haas, nor has
anv new light been thrown on the mystery
surrounding the manner In which he

Haas Repeated Threats Against
Prosecutor to Woman.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 16. The object
this morning of police Investigation Into
Die attempted assassination of Francis J.
Heney and the suicide of his assailant.
Morris Haas, is Mrs. Max Coiwn. of 1708
Bush street. It was she who boused tw
Haas family on the night of the prison
er s self-destruction after his wife, ac
cording to Detective Burns, had manated
to smuggle a derringer Into his cell, and
the Investigators believe It was she who
sent the note to Heney warning Mm to be
on his guard, which, unfortunately, wus
not opened until after he hai been s'ioI.
"When Interviewed. Mrs. Cohen said:
"It Is true that Morris Haas told me
he would seek the life of Heney. lis
told me Immediately after Heney had ex
posed his criminal record In op-n court,
declaring that his life was ruined and
that he had no further besire tc live.
Tiie confidence frightened me. At first I
made up my mind to tell my husband
what Haas had told me, but 1 could not
summon courage to do so. I thought .t
might Involve either myself or my hus
band In some disgrace, and I tried to tell
mvself Haas did not mean what he said.
While I hovered in Indecision Haas re
peated his threat to me. He said he had
takn an oath to slay Heney, and he
even went so far as to show ma weapons
he was carrying.
"One of these was a very large revol
ver; the other was a small derringer, and
the' third was a weapon of very old
fashioned appearance." "
It Is thoug ht that Mrs. Cohen and Mrs.
Haas, the widow, both know a great deal
more than they have told. They are reti
cent, and answer questions only after the
utmost persuasion. Detective Burns still
maintains the dead assassin was the tool
of a conspiracy, and declares the admis
sions that he made the day of his suicide
absolutely assure this fact.

Van Ylisslngen, who is about 45
years old, was married August 4. 1897.

was described at the time as a distant
relative of President Roosevelt. The
bride was a daughter of Wilton C.
Roosevelt. She had been divorced
from a dentist, named Blend.
Van Vllsslngen had been a bachelor,
living at the Calumet Hotel. He was
known as being of a philanthropic dis
position, giving especial attention to
the welfare of boys.
Some years ago he took under his
protection Julius Wlltrax, 9 years old.
whose father had been accused of mur
der. The boy at first had been a wit
ness against his father, who was sen
tenced to 26 years in the penitentiary
for the alleged murder of Paul Pas
kowskl, 12 years old. Later the boy
repudiated his first testimony and the
father was released. This led Van
Vllsslngen to take Interest in the lad
and publicly announce that he would
try to make of him a reputable citi

The special charge which led up to
the spectacular arrest of Van Vllssln
gen today was made by two men who
had bought forged mortgage notes.
They are T. J. Lefens and William O.

building as that occupied by Van Vlls

took no action until today.
Consulting with Assistant States
Attorney Barbour they decided to de
lay no longer.
When confronted in his office by the
detective. Van Vllsslngen made no effort
to conceal the truth.
"Why am I wanted at the State s At
torney's office V he asked.
"Because of some charges of forgery,
replied the detective.
"Very well." replied the real estate
dealer, "I am afraid the charges are
true." , ,
He then put on his hat and coat and
followed the detective. In Mr. Bar
bour's office he made a full confession.
Never Speculated in Stocks.
In Judge Windes' court Van Vlissin
gen after describing how he had com
mitted the forgeries, was asked:
How long have you been engaged In
forgeries of that nature V
"Oh. I should say about 18 years, he
replied , ,
"Approximately how much would those
forgeries aggregate?"
About JTiO.000."
Where has the money gone?

CHANGE OF VENUE
ASKED FOR RUEF
His Lawyers Allege Prejudice
and Threats Against
Their Lives.
COURT STRONGLY GUARDED
Every Spectator Closely Watched
and None Allowed to Stand.
Heney's Substitutes Will Op
pose Change of Venue.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16. With Judge
Lawlor's courtroom thronged by police
men, special detectives, deputy sheriffs
and other peace officers, while the streets
about the building were guarded by
mounted police and many patrolmen, the
trial of Abraham Ruef was resumed to
day after its Interruption on Friday, when
Assistant District Attorney Francis J.
Heney was shot down in the courtroom
by Morris Haas. As was expected, the
defense asked the court Immediately for
a change of venue, declaring that Ruef
could not obtain in this city the fair and
impartial trial which was his right under
the law. and supporting the declaration
with affidavits signed by Ruef and his
attorneys, to which were attached clip
pings from the newspapers describing the
maiss meetings and other gatherings and
utterances that followed the attack upon
Mr. Heney. These, the defense alleged,
were sufficient evidence of the public
feeling that would prevent the impartial
trial of the defendant.
When the defense had completed Its
statement, the prosecution asked for a
continuance in order that it might have
time to prepare counter-aff'.davlts. This
Jude Lawlor granted, ordering the case
adjourned until tomorrow morning.
Police Out In Strong Force.
As the hour set for the opening of
court approached squads of police began
to arrive at the hall and the mounted
officers appeared on the streets. Every
passerby was subjected to the closest
scrutiny and no one was allowed to en
ter the courtroom without proving his
right to do bo. Beyond the line main
tained bythe officers a Jam of curious
people packed the street so closely that
when the prison van In which Ruef was
driven to the court from the County
Jail arrived, the police escort was forced
na. (h. r-na H tn make a wav for
the wagon. Everywhere throughout the
courtroom were policemen and detectives
armed and ready for any emergency.
Behind the tables of counsel and di
rectly in front of the press tables, sat
four detectives with their backs to the
court and Jury, their eyes constantly
watching every movement In the court
room, while on the sides were half a
dozen of Special Agent Burns' men. Cap
tain Henry Gleason and Lieutenant
Wright were personally In command of
the police In and around the building.
Abraham Ruef was the first of those
directly Interested in the trial to arrive.
With five policemen and five Deputy
Sheriffs riding Inside with him and es
corted by live mounted policemen, Ruef
reached the court from the County Jail
at Ingleslde at 9:30. Ruef's pallor was
marked and although he was calm and
composed in his manner, the effect of
the events of the past few days were
plainly visible on his face. Not the
slightest demonstration marked his ar
rival. No one was allowed to stand up In
the courtroom. The moment some one
arose some of the plain clothes detec
tives edged In that direction and a uni
formed policeman ordered him to sit
down.
Change ot Venue Asked.
When Judge Lawlor called Ruef's case
Assistant District Attorney O'Gara an
nounced that Messrs. Sullivan. Johnson
and Dwyer would assist the prosecution
and asked that their names be entered
upon the record. Thomas B. Dozler then
announced that the defense had a motion
to make, and. the Jury being dismissed,
he made application for a change of
venue. .
The affidavit consumed about 80 min
utes In reading. By far the greater part
of the affidavit consisted of a relation
of all the circumstances connected with
the Ruef trial since Its commencement.
The shooting in the courtroom Friday,
the subsequent excitement, the mass
meetings and other assemblages held
throughout the city and elsewhere since
that time, are described in full, and every
allegation set forth is calculated to show
an excited state of the public mind, cal
culated to Injure the cause of the defendant-
In part, it is said that a con
spiracy has been charged Involving the
defendant In responsibility for the shoot
ing, and that the Jury, 'not having been
informed of all the circumstances, has
drawn erroneous inferences as to the
actual happenings. It is said that the
Jury will or has learifed that Ruef is In
custody, and that he Is supposed to have
been in some way connected with the
shooting: that the appearance of three
new attorneys in the case will lead the
Jury to believe that they have been em
ployed by the people of San Francisco.
Another point made is that the defense
has not had an opportunity to examine
the Jurors or any of them as to their
acquaintance or relations with any of the
three attorneys now of reoord. In con
clusion the principal affidavit affirms:
"Affiant Is Informed and believes that
there exists in the City of San Francisco
a fierce and burning bias and prejudice
against him. and that his life Is In con
stant danger; that there will probably
occur during his Journeys to and from
the courtroom scenes of violence and
turbulence caused to still further preju
dice his cause: that the lives of his coun
sel are In danger, and that they are not
In a proper frame of mind to give to
his case the attention it demands."
Lawyers Lives Threatened.
Upon the conclusion of Ruef's affida
vit. Mr. Dozier read affidavits made by
himself and Mr. Ach in which It was set
forth that counsel for the defense were
receiving communications by telephone
and mail threatening their lives if they
continued to defend Ruef; that not only
their own lives, but those of their wives
and families were In danger as a result
of public feeling, largely the result of
attacks made upon them by some of the
newspapers because they were engaged
in defending Ruef; that at the overflow
mass meetings Saturday night there
were cies of "Give us Calhoun: give us
Ruef; give us Ach." and that as a result
of such conditions, it was impossible for
Ruef to be given a fair and impartial
trial in this city. Affixed to each affi
davit were copies of newspapers, giving
accounts of the shooting of Mr. Heney
and the subsequent suicide of Haas,
mass meetings. Interviews with promi
nent men bearing upon the case as an
evidenclary showing of the state of the
public mind In this city.
One Spectator Ejected.
The only Incident during the morning
was the ejection from the courtroom of
a man whose name was given by Cap
tain Gleeson as J. D. Cook, a law clerk
connected with a firm of attorneys said
to be associated with the defense. Cook
was regarded with some suspicion' and, J
upon being asked to come out into the
corridor, was ordered out. He protest
ed strongly.
Tonleht a conference of the attorneys
for the prosecution was held, at which
the affidavits which will be filed witn tne
court tomorrow, supporting the conten
tion of the state that a fair and impar
tial trial of the case can be had In this
city, was prepared. '

Wanted Dowager Murdered. f
For years China has suffered from a
malady for which It has long been be
lieved assassination was the only cure
and the death of the Dowager Empress,
for this reason, has given rise to vari
ous conjectures among the foreigners.
In the last ten years both natives and
foreigners have offered bribes to those
who make murder their business, by
fixing a price on the Dowagers head.
It is no small number, therefor, who
speak of her death as a providential
riddance. Few rulers have passed away
so generally hated and blasphemed.
There are rumors among the revolution
aries that some of their leaders are about
to return to Pekln. This Is the first boast
that the late Dowager's enemlnes have
made since her famous coup d'etat.
EMPEROR'S DEATH MYSTTFIES
China Vnable to Learn Cause of
Ruler's Demise.
LONDON, Nov. 16. The Times' Pekln
correspondent says there are countless
rumors concerning the nature of the Em
peror's illness and the manner of his
death. No scientific opinion could be ob
tained, but the general description of the
symptoms indicate a severe nervous af
fection In which complications arose that
caused death.
The palace officials, according to the
correspondent, state that the Emperor de
clined to' allow himself to be removed to
the pavilion of peaceful longevity, thut
violating precedents and eventually ex
pired without donning the robes proper to
the occasion, in the same quarter of the.
palace In which he was confined after the
coup d'etat of 1898. His relations with the
Dowager Empress remained strained to
the last.
As the Dowager's decree. Issued last
night, appointing the new Emperor, indi
cated no Impairment of her ability, her
unexpected death excites suspicion of foul
play. There are rumors of disorder in the
palace and its precincts.
All accounts agree that the new Dow
ager Is a complete nonenlty, but the new
regent's mother-in-law is a woman of
strong character ana is certain to
else an important influence in the new
regime.
MOURN FOR DEAD EMPEROR
Chinese of San Francisco Hold Serv
ices and Weep.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16. Elaborate
services were held in the famous Chinese
quarter of this city today under the di
rection of Chinese Consul-General Hu
TJnir Shi. at which the sorrow of the ex
patriated celestials over the death of the
Emperor of China was expressed. The
streets in front of the building as well
as the room in which the altar was lo
cated and passages leading to it were
crowded with Chinese. The Chinese offi
cials donned the habiliments of their na
tionality for the service, which lasted but
five minutes, but was extremely impres
sive. The altar, before which stood two gi
gantic silver candlesticks with burning
tapers, was decorated in Diue ana wnne,
the mourning colors of the Chinese. Be
hind it was a sign In Chinese characters
composing one word, which announced
the death of the Chinese ruler. When the
officials approached the altar, they bent
to the floor three times, after which, to
gether with many of the Chinese present,
they burst Into tears.
The service will be repeated tomorrow
In memory of the Empress Dowager.

S. P. CAUGHT FOR TAXES
Company Must Pay Levy Against
$8,000,000 of Kentucky Property.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 16. County
Judge Arthur Peter today handed down
an opinion in the long-standingIltigatlon
of the Commonwealth against the South
ern Pacific Company Involving taxes on
J30O.O0O.000 worth of property. Judge Peter
decides In the cases for taxes for 1907 and
1906 that the franchise tax assessed by
the State Board of Valuation and Assess
ments covers all the intangible property,
and the company must pay taxes In Ken
tucky, and that the County Board of
Equalization cannot go back of that and
assess Intangible property. In short, the
tax paid on the franchise covers all the
taxes collectable in this state except as
to tangible property.
On the second question. Judge Peter
holds that the steamships statement of
the defendant company, which are set
out by name In the suit and which aggre
gate 18,000,000 in value, are taxable in
Kentucky and must be paid here.

INSURE AGAINST RIOTERS
Socialist Demonstrations Ifad Lon
don Tradesmen to Seek Security.
LONDON. Nov. I-.. (Special.) The So
cialist Incitements to robbery and riot
have caused a large number of people to
insure their property against damage by
rioters. , ,.
During the last week or two underwrit
ters have had many inquiries for insur
ance against "riot risks" or damage by
rioters and demonstrators.
The last unemployed and suffragist
demonstrations, when some windows were
broken, have frightened tradesmen In
the West End of London, who recognize
that their property would suffer In the
event of any hostile outbreaks such as
the Socialists are fomenting.
The general rate on policies covering
the "risk of riots and evil commotions
only" is 2s 6d per cent a year. In cases
where the property InBured is likely to
attract animosity the rates are higher.
These rates it should be pointed out
are almost as high as fire insurance
rates. Insurers have also been asked to
Include specially damage done by the
suffragists.
