.HENEY EAGER TO Be
UP AND DOING
THE GREAT PROSECUTOR Ex-
PRESSES DEvoUT THANKS
FOR HIS ESCAPE.

|. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov rs. The
Call this morning prints the first in
terview granted to the press by
Francis ]. Heney, since the assistant
district attorney was shot in Judge
Lawlor's court room November IS BY
Morris Haas while the hearing Of one
Of the cases against Ruef was in pro
gress.
After expressing devout thanks for
his miraculous escape, Mr.. Heney
says:
"ln this great human battle against
vice and corruption let no one believe
that the true source is to be found in
the individual dynamiters, jury bri-
bers, kidnappers and assassins, and
that their determination means ulti-
mate victory. Such beings are but the
bubbles emanating from the pool Of
filth that has been years in the max
ing. The seed has been sown and we
must reap the harvest but in gather
ing the Atares let US Be satisfied with
nothing but the roots,
TT has been a terrible sacrifice,
but if my blood has not been shed in
vain, if the assassin's bullet has sud
denly disclosed to the public eye the
hideousness Of the gigantic conspir-
acy to defeat the law, then | shall
feel that have not lived in vain, thar
my poor efforts have met with i'm
measurable benefit to my beloved city
and STATE"
The foregoing IS a part Of the state
ment which is published over Mr.. He
ney's signature. The wounded man IS
well on the road to recovery and was
able to walk about his room at the
hospital today. To his interviewer he
stated that he was eager to get back
to the prosecution of the graft cases
aagin.

ed publicly tonight at a banquet ol

alumni Of the east. Six rear admirals

torium Hotel and letters scoring re-
cent critics and praising the navy
were read from Admiral Dewey,
Rear Admiral Schley and Rear-Ad-
miral Evans. Those rear admirals
present we're capps, Ross, Brown
son, Higginson, Chadwick and Day,
ton. Admiral Dewey wrote that
"battleship building is one Of the
most progressive Of modern arts
and TIE old ships sre not equal 10
the new, but the vessels which have
been recently received with marked
consideration in South America, and
countries Bordering on the Pacific
Ocean are equals of the foreign
vessels Of their date Of design and
completion and often their super
iors."
Admiral Schley wrote "that there
is no more possible to create a per-
feet ship than to find a perfect man,
and he took exception to the critic
ism of the navy because the fact is
withheld that many Of the minor de-
fects adverted to were common to a
large percentage Of vessels Of every
power constructed at the time.
Schley also wrote that the infer.
ence sought to be established is that
our vessels are inferior to foreign
vessels, He declares that one has
but to read some Of the foreign ar
ticles to find that there are some
critics who seem to think all IS not
well in these vessels on their own
side of the ocean.
Evans in his letter says that after
his experience with our feet which
few men have had, he is convinced
that our ships taken as a whole are
equal or superior to those built by
any other country, Of course, our
FIRST ships do not equal latest for
eign ships and no sane man would
expect them to, but he thinks that
our newest craft are superior to all,
He says he has studied the recent
criticisms Of our navy and has no
words to tell how unjust, misleading
and silly they are.

BULL DOGS DO BATTLE
IN A TOWN HALL
WILD SCRAMBLE WHEN VII
LACE TRUSTEES RAID
THE PLACE

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-After two
terriers had torn one another for So
minutes and had been prevented from
rushing into d death grapple BY the
lightweight pugilistic champion, Bat
Ting Nelson, the trustees of the VII
lage Of Burnham, with dozen armed
deputies at their backs, broke into the
city hall in which the fight was held
The 500 spectators jumped to their
feet and wild rush for doors AMI
windows followed. Several shots were
fired in the air by the deputies, but
they could not stop the stampede.
Through the room in which the
fight took place was on the second
floor Of the building, scores Of men
did not hesitate to drop from win
dows, one Of the fugitives suffering a
broken leg. He was hauled to wait
ing buggy BY companions and was
driven rapidly away. The other men
in the audience, made up for the most
part of followers Of the sport" !"
formed flying wedges and charged the
trustees and deputies in approved
football style Gold rules land broke
through the ring Of officers guarding
the exits. Then began a helter skeI-
ter fight from the village, some get
ting away in carriages, few in au.
tomobiles and a regular army on
foot, Trustees and deputies, however,
managed to capture nine men.
Champion Battling Nelson escaped
the same fate by what his followers
might call new exhibition of ring
generalship. When the scramble be-
gan the battler bethought himself Of
a deputy's star presented to him by
an admirer in O'Baro, Mex, last
year. Pinning this on his coat, he
mingled with the raiders and finally
slipped from the place unobserved.
