CITY IS STIRRED BY CRIME

courts and predictions that Haas would
not lack aid in his defense. Former Mayor

1T is time that drastic measures were
taken to suppress the reign of lawless-

The police are today convinced that Haas
had planned carefully his attempt upon
Heney's life. In the basement of his home
are the marks OF numerous bullet holes,
indicating that some person had been fir
ing at a target and ~neighbors have been
found who recall having heard the reports
Of revolver shots at various times during
the last fortnight.
Added to this Is the statement OF the
witnesses in the court room of whom there
are dozens. Attorneys and newspaper men,
policemen and detectives, all appear to ave

story of the shooting.
The crime occurred when Mr.. Heney
was leaning over on his table con-
! versing in low tones with Al McCabe,
chief clerk in the district attorneys office.
Directly in front of him was James l..
Gallagher. the witness. A representative OF
the Associated Press had just walked to Mr..
Heney's table and was standing at his left
elbow waiting to speak to him, when a
small man, neatly attired, approached the
assistant district attorney from behind with
quick steps, but with elaboration. Sud.

A survivor, Captain Thomas Dring, wildly
depicted the scenes of the horrible in

others who fought with all their strength
for even the ~faIntest breath of the precious

Utter arrangement was a common
symptom OF the fever that caused many
deaths on board, and to increase the horror
of the darkness that e~nshrouded us; for we
were allowed no light betwixt decks, the
voice Of warning would be heard: Take

The condition of the great copper in

described in the memoirs of Ebenezer Fox,

cumulated among upward of 1000 men
were daily thrown overheard and would
remain there until carried away by the
tide. The impurity of the water may be
easily conceived, and in this water our
meat was boiled. Not less revolving than

the manner in which the inanimate bodies
Of these martyred prisoners were hastily

II do not think that Catholic dignitaries
in the Catholic church should have greater
consideration from a public official than
any other regularly organized religious
body. 1t has happened that by reason OF

the Catholic church.
II may add with respect to the frlars'
lands that the purchase was a political
one and agrarian one rather than a COM
mercial one. There were 10000 tenants on
the friars' lands who, because of the con-
iiscatory measure passed by the so-called
Malolos Agulnaldo convention, refused to
recognize the title of the friars. This title
was as good a title as there was in the
Philippines, and It authorized the friars to
go into our courts when they were estab-
lished and institute $1,000 eviction suits.
This would have led to a second revolution
and it was an absolute political necessity
that we should buy the lands and then at
tempt to dispose of them, as we are now
doing, to the tenants on long and even
terms of purchase. Very sincerely yours,

his arms by his side, one hand still clutch
