HENEY ON THE STAND
 IN THE MURPHY TRIAL
The Assistant District Attorney Seems Little the worse For His Late Ex ?erience.

San Francisco. Dec. 9.-Francis J. Heney appeared as a witness today in the trial of Attorney Frank J. Murphy, accused of attempting to bribe ven fireman in the Ruef bribery case.
 The assistant prceecuting attorney who had not been seen in public since he was shot down in Judge Lawlor's court room by Morris Haas, appeared to be almost entirely well and\walked to the witness stand with firm step. Slight discoloration on the right cheek marked the spot where the bullet of the wouldbe assassin entered. His voice was full and strong proving that the fear of its impairment was unwar- ranted
 Heney testified regarding a conver sation between Attorneys Henry Ach and Frank J. Murphy on the day J. M. Kelly, the prospective juror who had been approached with the offer of bribe, entered the court room where Ruef was on trial. Heney said he ov- erheard Ach say: There she goes" ." and that Murphy arose immediately and attempted to gain the attention of the court He also told of others pres ent at the time. His cross examina- tiOn was brief.

FIRST BILL PASSED
It Makes Provision For the Next
 Census.

Washington, Dec. 9.-For nearly five hours the house of representatives to- day considered bill providing for the taking of the thirteenth census. and passed it without material change. From the very outset in the debate, it became evident that the progress of the measure toward the passage would be impeded by numerous amendments and by the arguments which were develop ed
 A prolonged and heated discussion was precipitated over an amendment by MT Gillett, of Massachusetts, who sought to have the temporary census force authorized by the bill. with the exception of few minor positions, ap- pointed upon the basis of competitive instead of non-competitive examina- tiOns.

RUFF CASE
 WITH JURY No Verdict After Nine Hours
 DeIberati0n THE STORY TOLD AGAIN
A Repetition of Testimony of the Confessing Supervis- ors--Frisco's Interest in the Proceedings Was Unabated at the Last.

San Francisco, Dec. 9.-The case of cry of former Supervisor Furney, went to the jury at 3:36 pm. today At 5:45, after being out two hours and nine minutes, the jury was given permission to go to dinner by Judge Wm. P. Lawlor. The trial twelve returned to the jury room at o'clock and after deliberating an hour and half sent for Judge LawlOr and asked that the testimony of former Supervisors Furey. Wilson and Galla- gher be read. The jury listened close ly to the reading of the testimony. which was not finished until shortly before midnight.
 Throughout the last day of the trial, which has required 1O5 days, the court room was crowded with men and women of local prominence. and popular interest in the outcome was indicated by men who, unable to gain admittance, remained outside in the street during a dOwnpOur of rain.
 The unusual precautions taken after the shooting of Prosecutor Francis J. Heney were resumed today in full force and the spectators. subjected to close scrutiny before their entry, were surrounded by a heavy detail of po- lice at every stage of the proceed ings.
 Hiram Johnson, one of the attor- neys who volunteered lis services after Heney was shot, closed his ar gument at noon after an address of two hours and a half, during which time he reviewed the many arguments set forth by the defense and advanced others of his own, seeking to put the case of the prosecution before the jurors in the form of a closely con fendant as the center.
 He charged that Ruef had practi- cally admitted his guilt. and he main- tained that the defense had never shaken the testimony of the wit nesses who charged Ruef with re- ceiving S200,000 from the United Rail- roads, and with giving former Super visor James l.. Gallagher $95,000 to be distributed among the members of the board. At times Johnson vehe- mently denounced Ruef and the men charged with conspiracy to loot the city.
 When the reading of the testimony of the three supervisors was finished the jury retired at 1925 am. to delib- crate or take a ballot Just before re- tiring one of the jurors asked the court to define the difference between an of fer to bribe and the receiving of a bribe. d

.CASTELLANE'S WILD HATRED. At the Bottom of Suit Against
 His Wife JEALOUSY 0F DE SAGAN
Princess Anna's Attorney Ve- hement in DenunciatIon of Former Husband and His Spiteful Suit Against Her to Take Away Children.

Paris, Dec 9-French society crowded the courtroom in the Place of Justice today to hear NJ. Julemier, speaking in the name of the Princess de Sagan, oppose the suit entered by Count Boni de Castellane, in which he petitions that the custody of his three children be given to his moth CT. the Marquis de Castellane. When the Princess de Sagan, formerly Miss Anna Gould, secured a divorce from Count de Castellane, the custody of her children was awarded to her.
 If NJ. Bonnet, speaking for the count, did not spare the Prince de Sagan a fortnight ago, NJ. Julemier was no less denunciatory and bitter in his characterization on this occa- sion of the count
 De Castellane's sole motive in en- tering this suit, he charged, was hatred of de Sagan; the very thought of the prince occupying his place in the affections of his former wife and living in the superb mansion on Av- enue Malakoff goaded de Castellane to fury.
 everything possible to hinder the marriage of his former wife to de Sagan, and having failed was now seeking by every means to discredit de Sagan.

of high grade ores. and 59,000,000, 900 tons of low grade iron ores.
 The American people. he contended. were ready to pay whatever increase in cost of fuel that may be neces- sary to guarantee safety to miners and to the saving of fuel which be- longs to the next generation. The federal government, however, must look to the states for such protection.
 The chief waste in oil supplies, the senator said, is in their extensive use for fuel for locomotives, for which purpose coal might be substituted, leaving the principal use for petro- leum in isolated districts where there are no available substitutes. The discovery. of other deposits in the middle and western states to prolong the life of petroleum and natural gas was indicated. he said.
 The mineral production of the United States, according to the re- port. now exceeds S2,00O, 100000 in value every year and supplies sixty five per cent of the freight traffic of the country. The waste in mining and in the treatment of mineral sub stances during one year is equivalent to more than $30O.000,000.
 The greatest waste of structural and money values, the re- port says, is that due to fires and is one which can be most readily reduced by the substitution of fire re- sisting building materials for the in construction now os prev alent Fire losses amounted to over S456, 900 in 1907 or about 90 per cent of the total value of new build ing construction in that year.

MINERAL RESOURCES LIFE
High Grade Iron Ore and Coal Will Last to the Mid dle of This Century--Cop- per, Lead and Zinc May Run to the End of It.

Washington, Dec. Ex-Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota in an address today before the joint con- ference of the national conservation commission and the governors of the different states, brought an enthusi- astic message of accord from the great middle west in the scheme of conservation and he declared that the paramount problem of the hour was the development of the inland water ways.
 Senator Flint of California present cd the report of the mineral section to the commission. In submitting his report Senator Flint made an ad- dress in explanation. He predicted that the supplies Of high grade iron ores would be consumed by the mid dle of the present century. the high grade available coal by the middle of the present century; copper, lead, zinc and precious metals by the end of the present century. and phos- phate stock, so essential to soil fer tiity. within twenty-five years at the present rate of use and waste.
 He described the waste of natural resources and charged that enough natural gas to light all the cities of the United States of over 1000 peo- pie is escaping into the atmosphere and approximately s1,OOO,OOO a day is being wasted in coal mining and the other mineral products.
 He pointed out that there are only 1,4OO, ,O00, 100000 tons of easily accessi- ble coal available for mining under present conditions; 3,S4O,O00,OOO tons

VENEzUELA'S WARSH|PS
 MUST HUG THE SHORE
The Dutch Will Get Them If They Don't Watch Out.

The Hague, Dec. 9.-The Netherlands government apparently has not yet de- cided upon its exact course of pro- cedure against Venezuela, but it was intimated here today that the patrol of the Venezuelan coast by three Dutch warships which began last week may develop into more active measures in the event of any Venezuelan warship attempting to make an exit from the port.
 Should any of President Castro's ships find themselves on the high seas within range of the guns of the Dutch vessels. there is a strong probability that they will be seized and taken into a Dutch port. The international law on this subject is now being carefully considered by Holland.

It is drawn on the theory that these cor porations should be so organized that there should be just and equitable relations between their assets and their liabilities. It is intended to prevent over capitalization, stock watering, bond manipulating and all similar abuses. The effect of it would be to give stability to the ex isting volume of railway securities and at the same time to give a nor maj value to stocks and bonds.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The joint res olution providing for the suspension of the commodity clause of the rail road rate law will be displaced as unfinished business before the senate.

Thanks Extended Dr.. HARDY

| AT the close of a series of addresses to
Peoples Academy students by Rev. V. M.
Hardy, last week Tuesday morning, a
motion of thanks was moved in behalf of
the students by Roy Stafford and second
ed by Miss Edith Spiller. Mr.. Stafford
spoke pleasantly of the appreciation
which the students, and especially those
OF the senior class, felt to Mr.. Hardy for
his inspiring talks. The motion was
unanimously carried by a rising vote of
students Mr.. Beebe, in putting the mo-
ton, said that it had given the instruc-
tors great pleasure in noticing the inter-
est and appreciation of the students in
Dr.. Hardy's addresses. He spoke of the.
tendency of educational institutions
throughout the land to bring OCCASION
ally to the students, thoughts from those
not actively engaged in school work.
Such addresses are generally called YES
per services, but he liked better to style
them Aurora messages, as they had been
given in the opening hours of the day
and addressed to those in the opening
years of life. Mr.. Beebe said that in all
our institutions he felt confident there
had been no addresses that would tran
scend in charm of expression and in in
spring nature of subject matter, those
which the students of our academy have
been privileged to hear, through the
kindness of DR.. Hardy.
