Nation Watching This City
N-ashington (D. % star

" N2SIADEN04 u. - ctSLI
There is a field for some shrewd
detective work in San Francisco in
connection with the wounding Of
Prosecutor Heney and the subse-
quent suicide OF his assailant.
Heaey has been a marked man for
many months. As chief prosecutor
of the charges of graft against
former officials of the city and their
alleged associates in crime, he has
been in possession OF facts Wnlcn,
obviously, it has been TO the IN
tereSt of the accused to suppress
He has been closely guarded by
armed men in consequence OF open
threats against him and whispered
reports of plots TO take his life.
Finally a man shoots him, intend
ing to kill. but missing his aim by
a small fraction. The would-be as
saSsin dramatically declares that he
had sought revenge upon Heney for
having exposed his former prison
seven months ago. The shooter Is
sent to a cell and closely guarded.
He is, of course. searched. and II
is supposed that he is unarmed-
His wife visits him. and under the
eye of a warden they talk for some
minutes. Later the prisoner shoots
himself to death.
1t is a reasonable theory that the
man who shot Heney WAS hired or
forced to do so by those who are
in danger of punishment or ex-
posure in consequence or Heney's
activities. The lapse of time since
Haas. the assailant, was dramatic
ally proclaimed an eX-convict, the
fact that he is of q Staying
race; the fact that he would not
have been charged with murder:
the fact that he did not at once
turn his weapon upon himself after
shooting Heney, and. finally, the
fact that he killed himself after
talking with his wife-all these
circumstances, together with the
we'll understood desire of certain
people for Heney's death. suggest
that he was an agent and not a
principal in the murderous attempt.
1t was at first explained by the
police that Haas had concealed a
small pistol in his shoe. This highly
improbable explanation has been
quickly followed BY the more rea-
sonable suggestion that his wife
passed him the weapon. But II IS
not essential as purely specula-
tive matter to assume that Haas
killed himself The possibility that
he was slain in his bed in the cell
by one who feared that he might
not withstand the sweating pro
cess he was yet TO undergo is by no
means too remote for consideration.
Saturday night more than 10000
citizens of San Francisco assembled
in mass meeting TO denOunce the
attack upon Heney and to demand
the vigorous prosecution or the
graft cases. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Mayor Taylor and by
Rudolph SpreckelS. who has been
the handspring of the civic reform
movement. This spectacle is sig
nificant of a greatly aroused public
sentiment Taken in conjunction
with the mystery OF Haas death 1t

Awakened by Blood

The public IS very wide awake
and is denouncing the newspapers
which INSPIRED the crime The pub
lie, however, seemed TO care very
little what the polluted journals
were doing until the bullet crashed
into Heney's head.
Newspapers owe Il solemn duty
to the people at all times. 1t is
the aim and constant endeavOr of
honest journals to be ever viSi-
liant on behalf of the people, but in
situations such as confront San
Francisco men with money have

The public thinks very little
about the motives that inspire
newspaper in opposing corruption
in every form until some striking
example brings to attention the eN-
tent of cTiminality existing in any
community. 1t required the killing
of Editor James King of William
in San Francisco in the fifties to
awaken the people to their peril.
and it necessitated the shooting of
Heney in 1908 in the same city to
make them realize the enormity OF
the crimes perpetrated daily by a
corrupt coterie. aided by more cor
ruDt publications.
