San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 13.-As-
sistant District Attorney Francis j.
Heney, q leading figure in the prosecu-
ton of municipal corruption in San
Francisco, was shot down and seriously
wounded at 4.22 o'clock today in Judge
LAWYERS court room by Morris Haas,
Jewish saloon keeper, who had been
ACCEPTED as juror in a previous trial
of Abraham Ruef and afterwards re-
moved, it having been shown in court
by Heney that Haas was an eX-convict,
a fact not brought out in his examina-
ton as a verireman.
The shooting Of Heney occurred in
the presence of many persons in the
court room during a recess in the trial
of Abraham Ruef for third time on
a charge of bribery. At 6 o'clock to-
night MIR. Heney, who retained con-
scioIsness and will likely recover, said:
Il will live to prosecute Haas and
Ruef''
The physicians in attendance on
Heney expressed the opinion that the
assistant district attorney would live.
1t was ascertained that the bullet.
whic!i had entered the right cheek, had
lodged under the left ear and had not
entered the brain or severed any I'M
pOrt2nt arteries or nerves. MIR. Heney
was taken to the Lane hospital. where
he is under the care of skilled sur
gcons.
1t was during 4 10-minutes recess of
court and while the jury was out of
the court room and after attorneys for
the prosecution and defence had re-
turned TO the room from Y short con-
ference With Judge LAWYER in his
chambers, that HeneN. having re
sumed his CUSTOMARY seat ami entered
into conversation with Chief Clerk Nc
Cabc of the district attorneys Office.

Confidence Is Restored,
Business Better Every Day.
Merchants Stocking Up and
The Mills Are Resuming.
Heavy Trading Sends Prices killing
On Stock Exchange.

New York, Nov. 13.-R. G. Dun e
Co.'S. Weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row will say: Expectations are being
fully realized in the increased demand
for manufactured products that each
day reduces the percentage of idle ma
chinery and the number of unemploy-
ed. The depleted condition Of stocks Is
disclosed as business expands and
throughout all industrial channels
there is a sudden pressure to meet re-
uuirements that assures activity for
some time at least. Confidence seems
to be almost wholly restored. al
though there is a gratifying caution in
commercial operations that precludes
any danger of excess.
In The primary market for dry goods.
merchants are operating on more lib
eral scale than at any time since a
year and a half ago. Dealers are be-
coming afraid of a scarcity of Iner-
chandise in view of the recent extern
sive curtailment at the mills and are
providing for distant requirements to
an extent that might threaten to at
tain alarming speculative dimensions
were it not for the conservative attl-
tude of producers, who will not accept
contracts for any lengthy period
while there is so much uncertainty re-
gardng the course of raw material.
Cotton mills are rapidly resuming,
but accept business only where the raw
cotton is controlled and an assured ba-
sis of profit can be established. Some
prices have already advanced and 9TH
ers are contemplated. There are not
so many large buyers in the market.
but small operators are numerous and
active. Export business continues re
stricted, foreign buyers considering
the higher values as excessive.
Manufacturers of boots and shoes
report substantial increase in the or
dcrs placed by jobbers and retailers,
whose stocks have been allowed to be-
come depleted. and who now anticipate
q much larger demand, in harmony
with the better feeling in all other
branches of trade and industry. Yet
the conservative attitude is still much
in evidence, no one being inclined to
overstock and most orders are for
prompt shipment AS result factories
and shipping departments are very
busy, not a small factor in the urgency
of buyers being the upward tendency
of materials. which may soon be re-
flected in higher prices for the finished
product.
Failures this week numbered 264 in
the United States against 261 last year
aud 2S III Canada, compared with rs
year ago.
