lAppealing to our sense of fair

port his position on the school

again undertaken to agitate. We
do not question Prof. Foxs pur.
pose in bringing this matter before
the public again. and we trust he
has no other purpose in view than
that which he has presented above.
This is the only instance. so fur as

that is q question for the courts to
decide when such case is made.
We have no doubt that the present
textbook law has its defects. but
on one point it is better than any
of the old school book laws. and
that is, that the books once selected
by The county commissions NAV

The Text Book Controversy.

EDITOR JOURNAL:
The statement called fourth
by the letter of Mr.. Rhodes TO
State Superintendent Gass which
appeared in your last weeks issue,
has settled nothing and has added
nothing to the school book contro-
versy that was not already known.
No one has claimed, SO far as l
know, that the use of the word
"within" in the first line of section
13 of the Text Book Law will
have the effect of setting aside or
varying the five year contracts
made by the Text Book Commis-
sion. Mr.. HadIey is perfectly
right in saying that the clanse con
tanning the word within conI1 be
ignored altogether, and the re-
naming portion-that relating to
the action of the Text Book Com
mission could be enforced. So
far then, there is no dispute as to
the law between Attorney'Genera
HadIey and myself. agree with
him in his Interpretation of the
statute for bis conclusions are what
| have contended for from the be,
ginning:
First. He says 1.-THE limiting
word within sets aside no con-
tract made By the Text Book Com
mission" l admit it, and have
never contended that it did.
Second. He says that this sec
ton I3 only becomes involved in
the event that prosecution is
made against teacher or school
director who may permit the use
of book not adopted in accord
ance with the provisions of the act.
He does not say that there is any
penalty attaching to the teacher or
director who uses any book that
may be deemed desirable in school
work, whether adopted or not. He
could not do SO for be knows be
would not be declaring the law,
but be does say that the clause
containing this word could be ig-
nored and the remaining portion
of the act that relating to new
contracts by the Text Book Com
mission) could be enforced.
This l believe to he The law and
it leaves the matter rs | said at the
beginning with no penalty attach
ing TO either teacher OF director if
they see fit 10 use other Than the
adopted books.
Mr.. Gass feels that if teachers
cannot be penaIized for using
books, other than those adopted
by The Text Book Commission his
iniquitous text book law will GO to
pieces like Il house of cards: hence

"They would, besides owning this
magnificent grant, the water front on
both sides of the bay, have secured
title to tidelands that today are worth
two or three times as much as tho
Southern Pacific ever cost.
every county would have been inn
poVerished by their demands for bonds.

STOCK MARKET ACTIVITY
 ENDED WITH WEEK
The Steel Trade It Was Stated Would Not Become Normal Until Next Summer.

New York. Nov. 14.-The slowing down of the speculative pace in the stock market today from yesterday was due in part no doubt to the GUS tomary practice Of evening up all financial transactions with the close f the week. There was a marked decline from yesterdays activity. One or two items of the days news in creased the tendency to pause One was a statement attributed to Presi- dent Corey of the United States Steel Corporation placing the present work ing of it's mills at sixty per cent of their capacity and putting forward the probable date or the restoration of normal healthful conditions in bus mess to the middle of next summer. The action of United States Steel had a strong sympathetic effect on the whole market. It was scarcely coun- teracted by a vigorous upward move ment in some other stocks on the list.

THE TRIAL WILL GO ON

San Francisco, Nov. 14.-Calmed by the assurance that Assistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney who was shot yesterday in Judge Lawlor's court room while in performance of his duty would recover from his wound, unless some unforeseen condition developed, public opinion turned today toward the formulation of a concrete expression of determination to continue with the trial of the pending indictments for al legged municipal corruption in the pros ecutiOn of which Heney has been the dominant character.
 Several leading attorneys of this city have volunteered to take up Heney's work as a matter of public duty and carry it to conclusion.

sage for separate statehood for Ari- zona and New Mexico. in order that the enabling act may. if possible. be passed by both branches of congress at the coming short session. In my opinion the sooner we shall have our constitutional convention the better the constitution that we can adopt. and with the example of Oklahoma to show us some things that should be avoided. I feel confident that We can present to the people for adoption a constitution which will be satisfac- tory tc them and to the president.
 There should be some concerted plan for the presentation to congress of proper enabling act. and in the method of it's presentation. both in the senate and the house It would seem to me that both branches of congress ought to be willing to accept such an act as that presented in the former joint statehood bill (making it appli- cable, of course. to single statehood conditions) That was a very generous act in it's provisions for the territories. and would be very acceptable to our people here.
 think 1t is the intention of Cover nor Kibbey to go to Washington early Tn December, and I think it would be wise for him to be there at the open ing of congress that he might have conference with you and the leaders of the party in congress with respect to the provisions of the enabling act and it's introduction.
 The great victory throughout the country was not only recognition of Judge Tafts splendid qualifications for the office. but also a glorious en- dorsement of all that you have stood for and achieved. and as such it has been matter of great rejoicing to all of us who are so cordially in accord with you.
 Yours very sincerely.

Found Dead With Bullet Hole In His Forehead The Weapon Small Derringer Successfully Concealed In His ShoeCondon of the Assistant District Attorney is Pronounced Favorable.

San Francisco. Nov. 14-Morris Haas. who yesterday attempted to as- sassinate Francis J. Heney, tonight committed suicide by shooting himself through the middle of his forehead with a pistol he had concealed about his person.
 Haas went to bed at o'clock at the county jail and covered up his face with a blanket. At $40 pm. a shot was heard iron, his cell and when the guards entered it was found that he had rolled out of bed and was lying dead on the floor with a bullet hole in his forehead.
 A 4 caliber single shot derringer was grasped in his hand. His left leg was pulled up and an examination showed a mark on his leg where the weapon rested while concealed in his left shoe. Haas wore gaiters with elastic sides which made this possible
 After he had shot Heney yesterday, Haas was searched by Police Captain Duke, Detective Burns and a police man. After he had been taken to the county jail he was searched again, but at neither time were his shoes examin- ed.
 Haas went to bed last night with his shoes on and again tonight and when he was asked why he did this, he said that he would rather sleep with them on. His wife called on him today. but two officers were present during the interview and they say she could not uossible have SliDDed 9 WpaDOn to him
 Detective Burns says Haas was thoroughly searched when he was re- ceived at the county jail and that the derrirger could not have been on his person. He expressed an opinion that the pistol was passed to Haas after he was taken into custody.

jury not having been present.
 There was an intimation today that the defense would ask for a change of venue, passing it's plea upon the in famed condition of the public mind, but it is believed that such request would not be considered by Judge Lawlor.
 At the conference today between Judge Lawlor, Chief of Police Biggy and Under Sheriff Charles Haggerty, preliminary steps were taken to secure the coure from further disorder or violence and to safeguard the rights of Ruef. The vicinity of the court room will be patrolled and a large froce of police will be held in reserve
 Suspicious characters will not be al> lowed in the court room where a large force of plain clothes men will be sta toned to watch unobtrusively in order to keep the jury in ignorance of the precautions and not jeopardize the re suit of the trial. The plans provide further that in the event of any dis turbance the defendant may be taken from the court room quickly and quietly.
 MT. Heney and his family received many messages of sympathy and cheer today. They 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
 Ruef spent the entire day in the county jail. That he will remain in custody during the remainder of his trial and will not be given his lib- erty although under bonds aggregat- ing S1.5OO,0O0, was intimated today by Judge Lawlor.
 It developed that Judge Lawlor had l premonition that some untoward incident might mar the trial. and that he was contemplating placing Ruef under special surveillance next Mon day, or ordering him into the GUS -ody of the sheriff, and the actual purpose of the conference in his chambers with Heney and Ach and Dozier. just a few minutes before the shooting, was to inform Ruefs coun- sel of his intention.
 Wm. J. Burns, head of the corps If special detectives employed by he prosecution, and District Attorney -angdon spent considerable time with Haas today in the county jail inter 'osating him closely. Very little was slicited that was not included in the statement made by Haas last night.
