ERAND DUKE ALEXIS DEAD
Uncle of czar Expires in Paris of
Pneumonia.

Paris, Nov. 16.--Grand Duke Alexis
'f Russia, an uncle of the emperor,
lied In this city of pneumonia.
The grand duke has lived in Paris
almost continuously since his retire
ment from the position of supreme
Sirection of the navy, which he had
held for twenty-four years.
Grand Duke Alexis was born In
1850. He resigned the supreme con-
troll of the marine In June, 1905, fol-
lowing savage criticism of his admin
istration of the navy, especially in
the construction of ships. Charges of
mismanagement and inefficiency
against the marine department had
been current for years and after the
war with Japan they increased ten
fold. Grand Duke Alexis himself did
not escape personal attacks and scan
dal was so busy with his name that
he was several times the subject OF
public demonstrations, notably at the
French theater in ST. Petersburg, the
latter part of 1904.
The grand duke was younger son
Of Emperor Alexander ii. He visited
the United States and made an ex'
tensive tour in 1872 and was given a
warm reception.

Of Francis ]. Heney, the special as
sistant of the district attorneys Office,
who was shot and seriously wounded
in the courtroom by Morris Haas, an
ex-convict, resident In this city. whose
past record Heney exposed a few
weeks ago after Haas had qualified as
q Juror TO pass upon the guilt or inno-
cence of Ruef, now in the midst of
his third trial for bribery.
Mr.. Heney is resting easily and un-
less blood poison sets in his physi-
clans declare he has a good chance
to recover. Mr.. Heney was shot in
the right side Of the head as he leaned
forward over q table. The bullet en-
tered half an inch in front of the
right ear. ranged downward and is
lodged somewhere in the muscles of
the left side of the neck. In the
opinion of the doctors his constitu-
tion is sufficiently strong to add to
his chance of recovery.
Haas Hurried to Jail.
Haas. who did the shooting, is con-
fined to the county jail at Ingleside,
several miles from the center of the
city. Abraham Ruef, ordered into
custody by Judge Lawler Immediately
after the shooting. is also temporary
prisoner In the Jail, having been
locked up In the fear that he might
be made the victim of renewed vio-
lence from some excited and unex-
pected quarter.
The news that Heney had been shot
spread like wildflre through the city
even before the extra editions of the
papers reached the residence sections
and people in every walk of life hur-
ried to swell the crowds In the down
town district. Few of those in the
street knew what disposition had
been made of Haas, who was spirited
out OF p .es, door Of the city prison
while the crowd stood in front and
driven by circuitcsss route to the
distant county jail. Another subter-
fuge enabled the officers to take Ruef
out Of the city.

Fully Fifty Persons Bitten at
Terre Haute.

Chicago, Nov 16.-Twenty-five pa
tients from Terre Haute, Ind, are TAX
ing treatment at the Pasteur institute
because OF the ravages of mad dogs

One death has occurred, business has
been demoralized for a month, 500
dogs have been killed, public sub
scriptions have been taken for vic
tins, retail merchants and business
mems associations have become
aroused and special session of the
city council was held because of the
epidemic of rabies which has held
sway in Terre Haute
The city practically is isolated In
SO far as business and shopping from
neighboring towns is concerned, al

ther fatalities.
Dozens of persons hurried TO Chi

dogs were infected with rabies. From
