Suggestion Of Court

Judge Lawlor suggested that Ruef's
sureties select some man satisfactory
to the court, to be in constant atten-
dance upon Ruef and be responsible
for his appearance; but at the same
time 1t was to be understood that
this would not relieve his bondsmen
of any liability. The judge submitted
this to counsel for both sides, saying
that he had no intention of inconve-
niencing the defendant during the
trial and preferred some such arrange
ment to ordering him into custody,

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
SENDS SPREcKELS AND
MRS. HENEY TELEeRAMs s

WASHINGTON Nov. 14.-President
Roosevelt, upon learning of the attempt
made upon the life of Francis ]. Heney,
sent kilograms to Mrs. Heney and Ru-
dolph Spreczels expressing his horror
and detestation of the deed. To Mrs.
Heney the president wired:
Am inexpressihly shocked at news of
the attempted assassination of Mr.
Heney, and am greatly relieved at the
news this morning that he is doing we'll
and will probably recover. l hope you
will accept my deep sympathy.
Like every other good American, l
hold your husband in peculiar regard
for the fearless way in which he has
attacked an exposed corruption with
out any regard to the political or the
social prominence of offenders or to the
dangerous character of the work.
your husband has taken his life in
his hands in doing this great task for
our people, and he is entitled to the
credit and esteem and, above all, to
the heartiest support of all good citi-
zens.
"The infamous character of the man
who has assaulted him should add not
only to the horror and detestation felt
for the deed, but to the determination
of al ldecent citizens to stamp out the
power of all men of his kind"
Message to SpreckeIs
The following is the text of the tele-
gram to Mr.. Spreckels;
white House, Nov. IA.
Rudolph Spreckels, San Francisco:
II am inexpressibly shocked at the
attempted assassination of Heney, and
most earnestly hope that he will re-
cover.
1.-The infamous character of the
would-be assassin, no less than the in
famous character of the deed, call at
tention in a striking way to the true
character of the forces against which
Heney and you and your associates
have been struggling.
Every decent American who has the
honor and interest of the country at
heart should join not only in putting a
stop to the wave of violent crime, of
which this mans act is but one Of the
symptoms but also in stamping out
the heinous corruption in which men
like this would-be assassin are bred
and flourish, and that can only be done
by warning, as Heney lis warred re-
lentlessly, against every man who is
guilty of corrupt practices without
any regard to his social standing, to
his prominence in the world Of politics
or in the world of business.
"I earnestly hope Eeney will recover.
and / give utterance to what l know
will be Heney's wish when l say that

Ruef Trial Monday


state of public feeling, which has never
been SO intense or ran so high since the
shooting of Judge Terry by DAVID Ma

he famed into a flame by ADVERTISED
public meetings, Judge Lawlor deter
mined to take the necessary steps LOT
the resumption of Ruef's trial IN proper
legal manner, seeing TO II tIlaI ms
rights are not violated in the slightest
SO that it might jeopardize the result
of the trial and at the same time al
ford protection to all engaged in IT.
For the present at least Ruef Will pc

custody during the remainder or ms
trial and will not be given his llperly'
although under bonds aggregating Sl,-
200 600 was intimted today by Judge
Lawlor.
LawIor Had Premonitlon
IF developed that Judge Lawlor had
a nremonition that some untoward IN
cident might mar the trial; that ne
was contemplating placing Ruet under
snecial surveillance next Monday, or
ordering him into the custody OF the
sheriff. and that the actual purpose
of the conference in his chambers with
Mr.. Heney and Ach and Dozier, just
few minutes before the shooting, was
to inform Ruef's counsel of his in
tention.
AS the trial proceeded, the judge in
formed counsel for both sides that he
was becoming more and more anxious
regarding the defendant, and expressed
the fear that something might occur.
He said he did not wish to be under
stood as casting any imputation upon
Ruef or making the intimation that
there was any danger of him fleeing
from the jurisdiction, but he had made
up his mind fully to use the discretion
vested in him, and decided to order
Ruef into custody unless some other
satisfactory arrangement could be
made

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Jan. 2.--Prices moved over quite wide range today but the market was narrow measured by the extenisve numbers interested In 1t. Dealing were largely professional. The early decline was largely influenced by the application board Air Line on account of It's inability 70 meet the fixed charges due on January I. The causes given for the plight of the property especially the legislative pur- suit of railroads in some of the southern states and the stringency of the money market are of such general application to all railroads in that territory that they weer generally responsive to the news. Even more effect was produced on speculative sentiment by the reports from Washington. not without official sanction that suit would be actively pushed by the govern ment along the lines of the Northern Secu- rites suit to force a dissolution of the Har- riman railroad merger.
 The Hartman railroad stocks shared with the Southern group in the early de- pression. Later the market became strong CT.
 The action of the money market gave satisfaction, the early high rate of 20 per cent. yielding steadily in the later dealings The dwindling premium on gold practically disappeared today affording a feeling of greater relief. The reduction in the Bank of England's discount rate from to per cent. also marked the passing of abnormal conditions.
 Copper rose again at the New York met al exchange and this was factor in lift ing the prices of stocks. Substantial net gains were shown at the end of the day.
 Bonds were heavy Total sales par value s1.si1.oo0o United States bonds unchanged on call.

 New York; Jan. 2.-Men interested in racing in New York state express consid- erable surprise at the stand taken by Gov ernor Hughes in his message to the Legis- lature on the race question.
 It is the general opinion that the Gov ernor will be unable to secure the passage of a bill which will entirely wipe out bet ting at race courses Many go far as to blame the agitation to the pool room in- terests against~Evhom the racing clubs have waEed a bitter warfare and who are now said to he anxious to get even with the clubs which have broken up the pool room betting. by driving out racing altogether
 It is pointed out by the advocates of rac- ing that the agricultural associations of the State will fight any bill doing away with betting as they are the beneficiaries under the five per cent. tax levied on the racing clubs.
 The revenues from this source have in- creased enormously in the last eight years rising from $27.0OO in 1895. to S2O1.OOO in 1906. In eight years the eleveN racing as- sociations in the State have paid fn this tox S1,494, ,263.

NO wHIsKEY IN ELIZA.
DIspensarIes At New BrOckton And
 Enfernrise.


 Elba, Jan. 2.-(Special.)-The town of Elba is dry" at last. The whiskey dispensary was closed yesterday and no arrangements have been made to operate it for the coming year.
 On the last day of December, 1907, James Larkins walked out declaring that he would have no more to do with the business. x< Judge of Probate S. N. Rowe says no application has been made for H. cense to operate the dispensary for 1908. Nor would such license be is- sued until the town council ordered it. But the council at it's meeting Christmas day voted unanimously against the dispensary over the protest of Mayor Ham. So it seems that no liquor can legally be sold in Elba.
 An effort was made to stop the sale of whiskey over Coffee county but it failed. Judge Rowe has issued license to continue dispensaries. at New Brock ion and Enterprise, the other two in corporated towns of the county.
