ident, to take effect December l, on
account of i'll health. Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Truman New
berry will be named as Mr.. Met
calf's successor.
Mr.. Metcalf has suffered from a
nervous breakdown that has render
ed it impossible for him to remain at
his desk for any length of time and
the chronic nature of the trouble has
caused him to abandon hope of re-
covery while burdened with the
cares of office.
Mr.. Newberry had lever filled any
important public office prior to his
appointment as assistant secretary
of the navy, Nov. /, 1905. Before
that time ne was in business in De-
troit.

given out from the White house to-
night:

ton as secretary of the navy, the
same to take effect on the first prox-
imo. Very respectfully,

Nov. Is, 1908.
'My Dear Mr.. Metcalf: | accept
your resignation with real reluct-
ance and only because you tell me
that it is imperative that you must

earnestly hoped that you would be
able to continue with me throughout
my term. | thank you warmly for
your faithful and efficient service in
both of the departments, at the
head of which you have served I'M
der me. But my dear Mr.. Metcalf,
you have always been more than the
head of the department: you have
been cabinet minister upon whose
stanch and steadfast Loyalty could
rely upon any and all occasions. No
president could wish more loyal and
hearty support than you have always
given me. thank you for it. | shall
miss you when you leave the cabinet,
and | wish you we'll in whatever work
you may undertake and wherever
your life may lead.
with regret, therefore, accept
your resignation, to take effect or
the first of December.
with all good wishes,

yesterday, committed suicide at the
county Jail tonight by shooting him.

One report says the pistol with
which Haas shot himself was con-
cealed in his shoe where he hid it
before shooting Heney. Another
report says the pistol was secretly
passed to Haas by a friend since his
incarceration.

who was shot yesterday in Judge
Lawlor's courtroom while in the
performance of his duty, is to re-
cover from his wound unless some
unforeseen condition develops, public
opinion was turned today toward
the formulation of concrete express
sion of a determination to continue
with the trial of those indicted of
charges of municipal corruption in
the prosecution of which Mr.. Heney
has been the dominant character.
Several leading attorneys of the city
have volunteered to take up Mr..
Heney's work as a matter of public
duty and carry it to conclusion.
The trial of Abraham Ruef which
was interrupted by yesterdays dra-
matte shooting will be resumed Mon
day, it having been decided that the
events in the courtroom did not pre-
JUDGE the rights of the defendant,
the jury not being present.
There was some intiynation today
that the defense would ask for a

on the infamed condition of the
public mind, but it is thought that
such request would not be consid-
cred by Judge Lawlor.
1t is also intimated that Judge
Lawlor will exercise his perogative
and continue to keep Ruef in custo-
dy during the trial. Precautions
have also been taken to protect Ruef
while confined in the county jail.
Morris Haas, who attempted to
kill Mr.. Heney, is still kept at the
county Jail under guard. No one is
allowed access to him except repre-
sentatives of the attorneys office. It
is reported he is in highly nervous
condition.
Mr.. Heney and his family were
the recipients Of many messages of
sympathy and cheer during the en-
tire day. The messages came from
all sections of the United States and
some from Europe. One telegram
that brought a smile to the pain
drawn face of the prosecutor was a
message from President Roosevelt
to Mrs. Heney.
Two X-ray photographs were ia
ken today in order to locate the ex-
act position of the bullet, which it is
thought rested in the region of the
vocal chords. The plates are now be-
ing developed and they will be SUBJ
mitted to the attending surgeons to-
night and if the exact location of the
bullet is disclosed an operation will
be performed.
San Francisco. Nov. IA. Francis
]. Heney, shot down in the court
room yesterday while conducting the
prosecution of Abraham Ruef, will
recover from the effects of his in
jury unless the predictions of his
physicians fail.
At the end of an anxious night in
the Lane hospital where his wife,
with several relatives waited the first
news of a change in his condition,
it was reported that he had display
ed SYMPTOMS most favorable; that he
had slept long and well and that
there had been no recurrence of the
nausea that last night followed the
shock and pain of his wound. His
intimate associates united in the be-
lief that indomitable energy that
has characterized his.work as a pros
ecutor in this city and elsewhere
would contribute toward his recov-
cry and in this the attending physi-
clans, while speaking guardedly, ap-
pear to concur.

Dancehall, Saloon and PooIroom
Keeper Passes Away at

NEW YORK, May 12.-'"The" Allen.
once known as the wickedest man in
New York" died at his home, II West
Eighth street, late tonight. Twenty
odd years ago Allen kept the Mabelie,
dance hall in Blocker street, from
which one could toss a biscuit into po-
lice headquarters. Later he was pro-
prietor of various saloons, one at the
southwest corner Of Houston street and
South Fifth avenue
Here one of Aliens methods of self
defense became notorious. He was a
frail, puny man, with the desperation
of trapped tiger. He got in fight
with his bar tender in the South Fifth
avenue saloon and thrust the lighted
end OF cigar in his opponents eye,
utterly disabling him.
In later years Allen kept a poolroom
in lower Sixth avenue, which the police
raided or tried to raid 20 times Allen
defended the poolroom windows with
steel bars. He had been conspicuous
In the attempt to prevent pool selling
at the racetracks.
The" Aliens brother believes that
he was poisoned. His death will be
