its eastern invasion. Unlike the pio-
neers of the half century ago, it was
the pale-face going eastward. And the
red man of the west exemplified by

along the Gulf coast the shivers were
common. Mantillas were wrapped
tighter about the heads of the Creole

Not all the snow that came to Rich
mond yesterday was packed on the
rear ends of railway and traction cars.
Between s and Z o'clock last evening
the Man From the North" pulled
off his mitten in this vicinity and
scattered enough flakes of the beauti-
full to cover the ground. Out in the
country the bleak hillsides assumed a
beautiful appearance-out where
there was no smoke to spoil the
whiteness, but in the downtown dis
trict it was different. The soft, black
particles that arose from the hun
dreds of stacks and chimneys that
gave vent to the bituminous furnaces,
had an easy victory over the unsullied
white from the upper regions. At the
end of the hours contest victory was
sent TO rest with the SCOT and the
spotless white was a murky chocolate
in appearance.
The snow that arrived in Richmond
last evening was general throughout

HENEY WILL RECOVER.
Prosecutions Against Grafters Will
Continue.

San Francisco, Nov. 14.-Francis ].
Heney who was shot down in court by
Morris Haas, a former convict, has
most promising prospects of recover
ing and continuing the graft prosec ecu-
tions. Mr.. Heney was strong enough
today to submit to exray exposures to
enable the surgeons attending him at
Lane hospital TO locate the bullet.
Bulletins issued from the bed side
were sanguine throughout the day,
and at a late hour tonight physicians
were agreed he had more than fight

conscious throughout the day but
temporary paralysis of the vocal
cords prevented him from talking

bedside and is largely instrumental in
maintaining his cheerfulness.
President Roosevelt, in a telegram
to Mrs. Heney today said he was ex-
pressibly shocked at the news of the
assassination but was greatly relieved
that Mr.. Heney would recover. He
asked Mrs. Heney to accept his SYM

Later Investigation Disproved
This RumOr-Great Excite
ment in Frisco Town Over
Sensational Climax.

San Francisco, Nov. i4.-Morris
Haas, the would-be assassin of Fran
els j. Heney, killed himself in the
county Jail at $50 o'clock tonight.
He was lying in his cot pretending to
be asleep and had pulled the bed
clothes over his head. He placed a
four barrelled Derringer to his head
and fired, killing himself instantly.
The police claim they searched
Haas several times today and found
no weapons. The only person known
to have seen him today, other than
the police officials and detectives, is
his wife. This started the rumor that
she had brought the Derringer to him.
Subsequent investigation disproved
this theory.
Haas ended his life while four
guards detailed to prevent just such
a move. stood within three feet of
him. The weapon with which the
would-be assassin shot himself, he
had secreted in the top of one of his
gaiter shoes. Since taken into custody
Friday afternoon Immediately after
his sensational attempt to murder
Heney In the courtroom he had been
watched by four detectives. When
taken to the county Jail Friday after
noon he was searched by the police
authorities and all belongings were
taken from him. They noticed when
Haas retired Friday night he did not
take off his shoes. When asked why
he kept the footgear on he replied
that he was only going to lie down a
few moments as he was too nervous
to sleep and would pace up and down
his cell.
AT $3.50 o'clock tonight the prisoner
signified to guards that he wished to
retire. He had been interviewed by
Chief of Police Biggey and Captain of
Detectives James Kelly. Two detec-
tives remained with Haas in his cell
and two stood outside the grating.
The prisoner divested hilSself of his
upper garments and lay down and COW
cred himself up completely with blan-
kets. Ten minutes later the guards
were startled by muffled report
which came from the bed. They threw
back the blankets and found the pris-
oner lying on his back, the smoking
Derringer grasped in his right hand
and a tiny hole showed he had shot
himself in the right temple.
The news of the suicide of Haas
created great excitement throughout
the city tonight. The people were

Prosecutions to Continue.
District Attorney Langdon, had a
conference with Attorneys Joseph J.
Dwyer Hiram w. Johnson and Matt l.
Sullivan and plans were discussed for
the resumption of the trial of Abe
Ruef for bribery, Monday. Following
the conference Mr.. Langdon issued a
statement in which he said the shoot
ing of Heney would not impede the
graft prosecutions. The prosecution
intends to push the case vigorously
and will resist the effort being made
by the defense to have the case dis
missed on the ground the shooting has
prejudiced it. Believing the tension
caused by the shooting of Heney may
result in an outbreak at the trial of
Ruef, Judge Lawler has taken unusual
precautions to preserve order. A pla-
toon of police will be on hand whe II
the trial is resumed and plain clothes
men will be detailed to safeguard the
different attorneys present. The in
tention is to have attorneys rallied off
from the spectators in order to reduce
the chances of an outbreak of any
kind, to a minimum.

interview with him this afternoon.

The dOwager empress TSi-An is also

The difficulty of confirming the re

Charges were preferred against Ben Colbert
that he had allowed the cashier of wrecked
bank to escape; and after the Senate had
twice confirmed the marshalship appointment
given to Ben Daniels. the latter's life story was
SO thoroughly ventilated that the cause of the
Rough Riders in the Southwest was gravely

served three years in prison; with having held
up faro game at La Junta, Colorado, getting
six hundred dollars; of having been brace"

THERE have been some peculiar tragedies
in the regimental ranks since the muster
ing out. Sergeant Henry Ebberman, formerly
a New York policeman, died suddenly when
it was thought he was about to recover from
disease contracted in the war. Old Sergeant
Albert P. Wright. the color bearer, was pros
porous business man in Cuba for time, but
came to New York and mysteriously disap-
peared. The writer has been unable to find
any of his comrades who have got trace of
him. Lieutenant Hal Sayre. jr., Yale man,
was shot at Roswell. New Mexico, under mys-
ferrous circumstances. Captain Max Luna,
while charging some insurrectos in the Philip
pines, was drowned in a river. Lieutenant
