HENEY A FIGHTER AND VICTOR.
Enforces Law and Uncovers Crime Re
gardless of Personal Danger.

<
Il intend to prove that the law is
stronger aud higher and mightier than
any men or set of men in San Fran
CISCO
In these words Mr. Hency summed up
his course in regard To the San Fran
cisco graft scandals long before he had
secured convictions or had exposed the
rOttenness with which the municipal life
of San Francisco was decaylng MI,
lIeney lived UP TO the spirit in the
words. And today those words may be
accepted as summarizing the history of
what IIeney did, not only in the San
Francisco graft muddle, but also in re-
gard to the land fraud cases in Oregon
and California, wherein he made his
first national reputation.
Hcney did as he said he would-he
proved that the law is mightier than
men. In doing it he proved abundantly
his own character as a fighter, man of
unsurpassed determination, lawyer of
force and ability. He proved as he
proved in the land cases brought by the
United States government, that he had
the power of making good" The
phrase epitomizes what Heney had been
doing all his life.
Never Known to Surrender.
His has been a career Of action, of
battle, of the stress of life Of excite
meut. He always had been a scrap
per To his own abilities, and particu-
larry 10 his pluck aud persistence. he
owes the name he has made for himself.
Hen"y never was a gutter. He never
knew what surrender meant, except that
it was n word in the dictionary. When
he saw thing that he wanted to do he
went after it, If there were difficulties
in the road he threw them out or
Knocked them down or climbed over or
went around. But he continued along
the road every time. He always had the
faculty, akin to a talent, of getting
there
The two big achievements Of his life
were the prosecutions in the land cases
ana IN the graft cases. 1t was due to
him, fighting virtually single handed al
! though directly representing the United
States government that Senator Nit
! chrN OF oregon was convicted and that
seventeen other men of prominence, in
Guiding two congressman, were convicted
in the land cases. In those cases Hency
met an opponent composed of much of
| the financial, political and social influence
| OF the Iaclnc coast. He bucked that
| opponent, h" fought it, he beat it,
Then he took up the san Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.-Al

committed suicide in his cell at the coun-
ty Jail Saturday night, the seven ply
sicans in attendance upon the prosecutor

There has been no satisfactory eNpla-
nation of the manner in which Morris
Haas procured possession of the der
ringer with which he shot himself in the
county jail. Chief of Police Blggy and
some of his immediate Subordinates are
content with the declaration that the
prisoner carried the weapon into his cell
concealed in his shoe. Other members of
the department and W. j. Burns, a spc-
cHl agent of the district attorneys Office.
insists that this was impossible and that
the pistol was handed him. either by EI@
wife upon the occasion Of her visit, or by
some other person.
Planned Crime Long Ago
Mrs NJ Eohn, who had known Haas
intimately for twenty-five years, has in
formed the police that Haas acquainted
her with his determination to shoot He
uey some time ago, and that when he
reiterated his intention few days ago,
she threatened to have him arrested. She
identified the derringer rs one of three
pistols she had known Haas to possess.
Mrs. Haas. when she visited the county
Jail, was accompanied by Mrs. kohIt,
who, however, was not permitted to APP
proach the prisoner closely. She stated
that she did not inform any one of Haas
threat because she feared the anger of
her husband.

from 153 to 17.2 hands high and In
good flesh weighing not less than 1,600
pounds for the lighter sorts. Since he
does his work by throwing weight into
the collar, the heavier the horse, other
things being equal, the more efficient
he will be. Along with weight he
should possess moderately heavy bone

strength and substance to carry his
body and not give the appearance of

result from depth of body rather than
length Of leg. In fact. as a rule. the me-
dium short legged horses possess more
endurance than those with long legs.
He should be broad of chest, with
large girth and not cut up In the flank.
His legs should set well under his
