San Francisco, Nov. 10. The San
Francisco .bribery-graft cases had q
dramatic climax today when Assist
ant Attorney FrancisJ. Heaey, who
has been in charge Of the prosecr-
ton during tortuous course OF two
years, was shot and seriously wound
ed in the crowded court room by
Norris Haas, an ex-convict. The
shooting occurred during brief re-
cess in the third trial Of Abraham
Ruef on the charge of bribery, which
is in its eleventh week. Mr.. He
ney is now resting easily in the Lane
hospital and the physicians say his
wound is not fatal. Haas is in the
city prison. The would-be assassin
il saloon keeper, who was drawn
upon the jury panel in the second
trial of Ruef and who, after having
been temporarily passd by both
sides, was exposed in dramatic
manner by Mr.. Heney as ex-convict
and was discharged from the.jury.
Haas de- clared after the shooting
that H eney had ruined his life by
the expo sure and that he had de-
termined to kill him for that rea-
son. On Monday, Haas ended his
ownslife by shooting himself through
he head.

When Wilma Howard Taft is
inaugurated on the 4th of March
next, he will become the twenty
seventh President of the United
States, though as a matter of fact,
1nIy the twenty sixth man to hold
that exalted office. The explana-
ton is, that Grover Cleveland fig
ures in the line as both the twenty
second and twenty-fourth PreSi-
dent. All the other double-term
Presidents served continuously. by
reelection. Mr.. Cleveland served
one term and was then succeeded
by Benjamin Harrison, who be-
came, without question the twenty
third President. Then Mr.. Cleve-
land won the unique distinction OF
a second term in the White house,
and was therefore properly called
the twenty-fourth President. He
certainly could not continue to be
called the twenty second, afetI
Harrison S term. The point is
very clear and is generally accept
ed.

of the necessity of again directing
the attention OF congress to the rec
concentrations of the president look
ing to the Sherman antitrust law,
and of other topics, a decision has
been reached to send another mes
sage to congress within day or two.
1t was said at the White House the
message has been written and that 1t
is now probable 1t will be sent to
congress after the introduction OF
the civic federation bills by Repre-
sentative Hepburn. This statement
is based upon the belief that the
moral effect of the introduction OF
these bills might be seriously Inn
paired IL they are preceded by a
presidential message indicating their
scope in advance. thereby reducing
them to mere forms.
No explanation whatever can be
had from any political source foI
publication respecting the reasons
which have brought about the deci.
sion after 1t had been announced thai
there was no intention to send a mes
sage to congress at present. 1t II
