But the lady was very devoted to
church work and worried herself into
hysteria because she could not attend
services and hear her favorite pastor
preach.
"She must not leave the house, q"
warned the doctor, "but you can easily
arrange to have her hear the sermon
by telephone"
The elder grasped the suggestion and
made the necessary arrangements for
transmitting the sermon into his wife's
room.
At noon on the Sabbath the doctor
called and asked, "How did 1t work.

Famous Prosecutor May Loose
His Voice. Haas the Weilder of
the Gun Being Closely Guard
ed in City Prison.

handling the prosecution of the graft
cases in San Francisco for the past
two years and half was shot
through the head late yesterday after.

whom Heney had exposed on a for
mer occasion. Haas was in the court
room during the trial of Ruef which
is now in progress and while Heney
| Was setting at his desk the approach
! ed him and before the special deteca-
| tives present could Interfere the
| report rang out and Heney fell to
ne floor. The would be assassin was
Immediately overpowered and assis-
tance soon reached the side of the
wounded lawyer Many of the on
lockers had pulled their guns and for
a time it was feared that more blood
shed might result. Heney asked for
his wife and made a dying statement
to the effect that he did not know
who shot him and had horned no
one. At first it was thought that the
would was fatal one but after be-
ing taken to the Central Emergency
hospital and an examination made it
was announced that the chances were
in his fvor for recovery.
Ruef who was standing outside the
room when the shooting occurred was
quickly taken to the city prison for
protection. Angry mobs gathered in
front of the police station, the emer-
gency hospital and before the news
paper bulletin boards and talk of
lynching could be heard on all sides.
Many believe that Ruef and other
members of the grating defendants
prosecutors life but late developments
lend one to believe that the shot was
fired from personal hatred of Heney
by Haas whom the former had ex-
posed when he attempted to take a
seat as a juror in the former trial
II Ruef.
Haas states that he does not fear
the results of his act and is willing to
take the consequences. He asserts
that Heney ruined him and that he
intended to pay the debt by taking
lis life.

The Military Girl

The ordinary amateur performance,
with it's delays and waits, will not be
witnessed in the Military Girl
Properly handled amateurs may at
tain he proficiency of professionals
and Tuesday nights performance will
be for all the world a professional af-
fair. 1t is not exaggeration to say
that the Military Girl" will surpass
anything ever given here before.
The name suggests martial music
and Sousa, in his best moments, new
er surpassed the music of the present
play. From start to finish there is
not a dull moment. Uncle Sam will
be proud when he gazes on such a
beautiful array of soldiers. The
marching of the companies is perfec-
ton, while the military drilling is
machine like and filled with grace.
Special scenery and costumes will
add to the effect and the military
band imported for the occasion is a
wonder. The seats are selling rapid
ly and on Tuesday and Wednesday
a representative house will greet a
performance which will go down in
the annals of history as the great
event.

The next feature of the document
and the principal one is the trading
of accounts in which it is alleged that
an amount of securities exceeding
100000 ws traded, in most coses
the parties so engaged receiving dol
lar for dollar on their accounts
The plaintiff alleges that this action
of the defendants in allowing this to
go on was Unlawful and unauthorized
and has resulted in the releasing OF
the best securities held by the institu-
ton and the closing up of accounts
that were secured by gilt edged Sc
curity. As a result there remains
only accounts which could not be
traded and securities, the majority OF
which are worthless.
The plaintiff further prays that an
accounting on behalf of the depositors

! SAN. FRANCISCO, a p. m.) Nov.
| 14-The physicians attending z. J
Heney announce at this time that he
will recover unless something unfor-
seen occurs. Ex-Ray photos were
taken this afternoon to determine
the location of the bullet but the
plates will not be dry until tonight.
Another consultation will be held at
2 o'clock tonight and if possible the
bullet will be extracted.
It is impossible at this time to say
whether the wounded man will loose
the use Of his voice or not but it is
feared that the vocal cords are bad
ly injured.
Messages depIoring the affair are
being received from all parts of the
nation today. President Roosevelt
sent a message to A. SpreckIes today
depioring the attack upon Heney
and regretting that his life has been
thrown among the class of people
tht compose the defense in the graft
prosecution and their followers. He
delivers ringing roast to the assas-
in type Of men in the employ of the
defense. A message Of coincidence
was also sent to Mrs. Heney by the
Chief Executive.
Hass is confined in the city prison
under strong guard and threats are
still heard on the strees against his
life and the people Of this city are
still worked up to feverish heat ov-
er the affair.
Haas stated today that the main
cause Of the action was that Heney
had exposed his past and through
this act his four children who were
unaware that their father was ever
convict were informed Of his past.
Ruef was arrested last night and
is also occupying cell in the city
prison where he will remain until the
resumption of his trial on Monday.
The feeling here against the defend
ants in the graft prosecution is very
bitter and it is believed that from
this time one quick and efficient work
will be done.
