8 *11 i WOUNDED IN COURT ROOM SAN FRAN CISCO'S ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY SHOT. Prosecutor's Life Attempted by Morris Hass, Whom He Had Proved to be an Ex-Convict. San Francisco, Nov. 13.?Francis J. Heney, a leading figure in the prosecution of municipal corruption in ban Francisco, was shot and seriously wounded at 4 o'clock to-day in Judge Lawlor's court room by Morris Haas, a Jewish saloon keeper, who had been accepted as juror in a previous trial of Abraham Ruef and afterwards removed, it having been shown in court by Heney that Haas I was an ex-convict, a fact not brought out in his examination as a venireman. The shooting of Heney occurred in the presence of many persons in the court room during a recess in the trial of Abraham Ruef, on trial for the third time on the charge of bribery. At 6 o'clock to-night Mr. Heney, who has regained consciousness and will probably recover, said: "I will live to prosecute Haas and ? Ruef." The physicians in attendance on Heney expressed the opinion that the assistant district attorney would live. It was ascertained that the bullet, which had entered the right cheek, had lodged under the left ear and had not entered his brain or severed any important arteries or nerves. Mr. Heney was taken to the Lane hospital, where he is under the care of skilled surgeons. Haas is a married man and has four children. HT; - The Shooting. The court had taken a recess for 10 minutes and the jury had left the room. Heney and Reuf's attorneys, Ach and Dozier, had just returned from Judge Lawlor's chambers, where I they had been summoned by the judge for a conference. After the conference Ach and Dozier returned to the court room and Heney returned to his customary seat. He was talking with Former Supervisor Gallagher, who had just previously undergone a severe cross-examination > by Ruef's attorneys, when Haas rushed up out of the audience. Haas approached Heney, placed a revolver against the prosecutor's right cheek and fired. Heney fell over on the desk, blood streaming from the wound. Haas was immediately seiz ed by bystanders and thrown into the empty jury box, where he was held V on his back till the police came. Haas, while a venireman in the second Ruef bribery trial, was put V to a severe examination by Heney yttViav, h/s ttoo avominoH for lt1T*V Hlltv fWii^U UV n uo VAumtuvu w* He asserts that the information brought out by Heneyin his questions resulted in the ruin of his business, that of a saloon keeper. Haas, in the second Ruef trial, had . been passed as a juror. Then one day in court Heney dramatically produced a photograph of Haas, taken at San Quentin penitentiary, in convict garb and with cropped head and his number across his breast. Haas collapsed in court, admitting he had been a convict. He was immediately removed from the jury. Large Crowd Gathers. News of the shooting spread rapidly and an immense crowd gathered in the corridors of the court building. A large force of police, headed by Chief Biggy, surrounded the building and kept the crowd back. A number of men who were suspected of being there to create trouble were arrested. Heney was rushed to the emergency hospital Haas, in a stateinen/t after the shooting said: , i "I am the wronged man. I do not care what becomes of me now. I have sacrificed myself not for my own honor but for the honor of those who are situated like myself. I would not have brought my four children into the world to bear such a brand if I had known the fact that I was a former convict would become known. Heney ruined me. That is why I shot him." After the shooting Judge Lawlor called the court to order and immediately ordered Ruef taken into custody, overruling the objection of Attorney Ach. Attorney Dozier asked that the witness Gallagher also be ' ' *~J.. V..4. 4-1, ~ A A ISK6Q 1I1LU UUSlUU.v, uui iuc wun uo. clined to issue the order. The judge then adjourned until Monday. Close examination of the wound * showed that the bullet entered through the right cheek and lodged under the left ear. It barely missed the carotid artery and no other prin' * cipal arteries were ruptured. Heney was taken to, the Lane hospital to be placed under the X-ray. YOUNG* MEN!

I Hoover's Drug Store REQUIREMENTS OF RAILROADS. Some Regulations as to the Sanitary Condition of v oaches. Rule No. 6 of "Rules and Regulations of the Railroad Commission of South Carolina." applying to railroads, reads a. .ollows: "All railroad companies or persons operating in South Carolina as common carriers shall be required to have printed in large type and kept posted hi a conspicious place in each waiting room at depots in South Carolna, from and after the 1st day of September, 1907, the following notice: " All railroad companies are re quired, under the laws of South Carolina and ine rules of the railroad commission, to bulletin trains when late, to furnish good, wholesome drinking water to passengers, to keep waiting rooms and passenger coaches clean, well lighted, properly ventilated and comfortably heated when necessary.' " Rule No. 8 specifically states that "a substantial water cooler must be in each waiting room with drinking vessel conveniently placed. The said cooler to be supplied with wholesome water at all hours " Rule No. 9 requires that "all passenger coaches, after reaching their destination and before being put in service for furtner use, must be thoroughly cleaned and toilet rooms in said coaches must be thoroughly cleaned, fumigated and disinfected." Rule No. 10 refers to the handling of baggage at stations. It provides that "all railroad companies sfiall provide such means or appliances as may be necessary to secure the careful handing of and prevent injury to baggage. . . . That at all junctional points and all towns of over 500 inhabitants sufficient trucks to be furnished to both load and unload bageaee." A Disgraceful Affair. Saturday night about midnight six young men of this town went to the street corner, at the Methodist parsonage, three of them going into the yard and upon the porch and three remaining outside the gate, and in an offensive manner sang. These young men according to Mr. Daniel's statement had the appearance of being intoxicated, and evidently went to the parsonage for the purpose of insulting the pastor, Rev. J. L. Daniel. Nearly two years ago Rev. Daniel in the course of a sermon remarked that he had heard a song?Sweet Adeline?so often that he would not mind if Sweet Adeline were dead. Shortly atter that time several boys and young men went to the parsonage and in a boisterous manner threw missiles at the parsonage and sang and used profane language, greatly to the mortification and insult of Rev. Daniel and family. Mrs. Daniel, being a sufferer from a nervous malady, was terribly upset, and for a time the family were apprehensive as to their safety. Mrs. Daniel was so shocked that it was necessary for her to go away for some time. This matter finally blew over, and it was thought no more would be heard of it, but since this recent outrage Rev. Daniel says there have been one or two boys or young men, who have not missed a chance n passing the parsonage to sing "Sweet Adeline." No notice was taken of this, however, and he hoped there would be no further unpleasantness. Last Tuesday Mrs. Daniel had a surgical operation, and has since been very ill, and this affair Saturday nirht was calculated to result in se rious harm to her, as she naturally became very nervous over the matter. Coming, too, just on the eve of the annual conference, when Mr. Daniel is to wind up his third year, it is especially dastardly and outrageous. Rev. Daniel recognized most of these young men but will not give out their names for publication, else they would be published. Language is not strong enough to express the condemnation which all right thinking persons should feel for such an outrageous act. These young night prowlers should be dealt with by the law and made to know that in Walterboro a man's home is his castle, and he is sacred therein; and especially if that home contain an invalid lady, or if it be a minister's home. Had Rev. Daniel shot these marauders down on his porch they would have "been paid for," and no one could have condemned him. The cit l^CJLIO U1 YT aibCl UU1U) vL denominational beliefs, should let it be known that they condemn such outrageous acts, and brand the perpetrators as worse than criminals.?
