OF ROADS

Republicans are going to have lit

conclusions reached at a Democratic
meeting last night are correct. 1t
was decided that no combinations of
the mayors first appointments are
needed, and Mayor-elect Fern will
proceed to name city and county Off

visors comes into existence at all.
There is a special provision of the
municipal act which, it is said, allows
this Ordinarily the mayors appoint.
ments are to be confirmed by the su,
pervisors, but as the present officers
terms all absolutely expire at the end
of the year, without any provision
for holding on until successors are
qualified, there is special provision
allowing the mayor to appoint in ad
vance. This is what the Democratic
mayor proposes to do.
The mayor will also name the chair

WORK Of
HBMENWAY

Deputy Attorney General Whitney
received a long letter from his supe-
rior, Attorney General Hemenway,
this morning. The latter stated that
he had practically completed his work
in Washington when the letter was
written on November Z. The Lanai
case was to come up in the Supreme
Court that day with Attorney Brown,
well known here, to open the argument
and to be followed by HemenW..y
Judge H. e. Cooper was then to take
part, representing the Irwin interests,
and Brown would close.
Mr.. Hemenway stated that he ex-
pected to win the Rapid Transit, Mo-
rita Keizo and Cotton Bros. cases
and cable messages have shown that
he was right in the first two instances,
but the Cotton Bros. case has not yet
been heard from.
In the Liliha street case he said that
he had submitted his case on brief,
feeling that it was better to do this
and that d. L. Wilmington had made
verbal argument. He expected to
go to New York for further work on
this case as soon as the Lanai mat
ted had been completed.

SENDS A LAUGH OVER THE WATERS

A streak of chummy wireless talk
scorched the ether between Kahuku

between Wireless Wizard Isbell's din
ner and bedtime last night, for two
old friends were discussing wireless
and other things across the ocean.
A. A. Isbell and Electrician Hans

ties to the long-distance conversation
and the messages they exchanged were
lengthy and many, the sparkings be-

of misunderstanding.
Hanscom had been sent by the Unit
ed States Navy to Sitka, Alaska, to

San FpanCiSCO'S
Very Sensational
Courtroom Crime
REJECTED JUROR FIRED
-HENEY's NERVE SHOWS HOURS FOLLOWING
sHooTING-GREAT MEETINGS OF CITIZENS CHEER THE
NAME OF THE PROSECUTORS. ,

(From the Chronicle of Nov. 14.)
The shooting occurred while Heney
was seated at the table usually occu-
pied by The prosecution, Immediately
in front of the spectators and outside
of the rail- He was conversing with
Chief Clerk Al McCabe of the District
Attorneys Office and James A. Gala
CHER, the witness of the day. Haas
approached along the right aisle,
walking rapidly but not in such way
as to attract attention When within
about four feet of the unsuspecting
victim he drew a 3S-caliber revolver
which he had carried hidden partly by
his left arm and partly by the folds of
his coat, and without uttering a sylla
bic or making the slightest pause fired
a single shot. Heney, who had been
sitting with his elbows resting on the
table before him, sank forward with
out a groan, and for an instant the
witnesses of the crime were so SPELL
bound by the occurrence that not a
soul moved. Then G. H. Gish, a con-
tractor of 1852 San Jose avenue and
former juror in Department 6 of the
Superior Court, sprang forward and
grabbed Haas by the shoulder. He was
Immediately Joined by Deputy Sheriff
Frank Coyle and Detective John
Foley of the prosecution. Haas was
dragged through the small gate which
separates the courtroom from the
space occupied by Judge, jury, clerk
and stenographer. 1t was done so
quickly that the crowd was unable to
vent it's horror upon the criminal, who
threw himself on his back and at first
refused to say word-even to give
name.
Meantime McCabe had caught He
ney in his arms and prevented his
head from falling to the table, which
was rapidly becoming flooded with
blood. The wounded man was then
assisted to the floor by many anxious
hands, and after a hasty examination

of the wound by DR.. H. E. Franck,
who happened to be present, word was
passed around that Heney would die,
The deputy sheriffs and police officers
who were present at once began to
clear the courtroom, fearing that it
would be impossible otherwise to pro-
tect the life of the miscreant who had
fired the shot. Assistant District At
torney John OGara, who has been
Heney's assistant in the prosecution
of the present case against Ruef, knelt
down to receive what all feared would
be a dying statement.
HENEY'S WORDS TO O'GARA.
Heney had fought heroically against
the pain of his woune, which was
near the right temple, and up to the
moment when O'Gara knelt down he
had hardly closed his eyes, maintain
ing consciousness by sheer force of
will. When told of the possible fatal
character OF his injury he whispered
to O'Gara:
81 believe I am going to die
DON'T know who shot me. I thought
that it was a blow delivered from
some one behind me-
There was considerable delay in OBJ
tanning an ambulance, but as soon as
one could be procured Heney was car
ried from the scene of the attempt
upon his life to the Central Emergen-
cy Hospital.
Haas, who had been held down al
this while by his original captors, fin
ally burst out in frenzied explanation
of his crime.
81 did it for mankind" he cried
while the deputy sheriffs made ring
around such of the crowd as had not
yet been sent from the room. 81 woulC
not consider myself fit to live if 1 had
not done it," he continued, without
a sign of sympathy for his victim

That changes must be made in the
breakwater which has been erected at
the mouth of the Waimea river by Gay

gone forth from the Department OF
Public Works. Superintendent Camp
bell, who has just returned from Kau-

the work and decided that the de-
Elections of current which it causes are
doing harm rather than good and the
plan of the work must be changed to
meet with the approval of the Terri
torial Government.
The work which has been put in is
not very expensive, only about $1,000
having been expended and even this is
by no means lost. There will be no
rupture over the matter as both the
Territory and the plantation company
are anxious to bring about the best
results for the public good.
