SCRIPTS INVITES
HENFY TO HIS HOME
Well known Publisher Asks
Prosecutor to ConvaIesce at
His Beautiful Hacienda

Now that Francis ]. Heney has
passed the danger point and his recov-
cry is almost certain, men prominent
in the affairs of the state and particu-
larly anxious to see the great prose
cutor resume his work. are planning
to provide an ideal spot where he VIII
rapidly convalesce.
z. W. Scripps,- we'll known publish
er, who is deeply interested in reform
movements in this country, and es-
peciaIly in this state, has invited Heney
to visit the beautiful Scripps hacienda
at Miramar,' an ideal country home Is
miles from San Diego The invitation,
which was received yesterday by Prof:
George H. Boke, secretary manager of
the Citizens League of Justice, will be
rendered to Heney today. A personal
letter to the prosecutor, in which
Scripps praises the work of the graft
prosecution and speaks of it as "the
greatest movement in the country,
will be delivered today to Heney.
It was Scripps who forwarded Heney
a check for $1,000 few weeks before
the prosecutor was shot down. with
the check was an urgent request from
Scripps that the prosecution continue
at all hazards. Hsney, in accordance
with his policy, refused to accept the
check and it returned to Scripps. The
return of the money caused Scripps to
indite one of the strongest personal
letters in favor of the graft prosecu-
tion that was ever written.

HALSEY DEVELOPING
TUBERCULOSIS SIGNS
SAYS HIS PHYSICIAN

Instead OF showing signs of recov-
cry, which might permit of his inter-
rupted trial going on. T. v. Halsey, the
indicted vice president of the Pacific
telephone company, now appears to be
developing tuberculosis. When his case
was called in Judge Dunne's court yes
terday to be set for trial Attorney
Breen read the following certificate,
written by DR.. T. E. Shumate. Halsey's
physician:
At your request, ! am reporting the
physical condition of MIR. II. v. Halsey.
Mr. HnIsey is confined to his room as a
result of his recent pneumonia. I had
Drs. John GaIIwey, George Sweeney and
j. Wilson ShieIs I'm consultation a few
days ago, and we are fearful he Is de-
veIopinE Tuberculosis. However, I will
have another consultation with these
same gentlemen this coming week and
determine what is best to be done for
him. +. r. SHUMATE.
At the request of Breen, Judge
Dunno granted continuance for two
weeks. Assistant District Attorney
Cook raising no objection.
Halsey was placed on trial more than
a year ago on a charge of bribery, but
he was stricken with appendicitis in
the midst of the trial and has ever
since been confined to his room. AL
though an operation was performed,
the wound did not heal properly. For
some months past his physicians have
been talking of a second operation, but
Halsey has never been in a condition
to undergo il.
DR.. Shumate stated yesterday that
Halsey has always had a tendency to-
ward tuberculosis. 1t was only in the
last few weeks. since an attack of
pneumonia, that the tendency has be-
come pronounced. He is now in a
very weak state. and the probability of
his becoming afiicted with pulmonary
trouble is serious. the doctor stated.
