WouId-B Assassin of HeneY Shoots
Himeef in Jail.

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-Morris Haas,
who attempted to assassinate +. J..
Heney Saturday night, committed sui
eide by shooting himself through the
middle OF his forehead with pistol
he had concealed about his person.
1t is reported by District Attorney

and named the people who hired HIM
to shoot Mr.. Heney but Mr.. Langdon
declares he will not divulge the names
Haas went to bed at o'clock at the
county Jail, and covered UP his face
with a blanket. At 40 shot was heard
from his cell, and when the guards en-.
tered. it was found that he had rolled
ont of bed and was lying dead on the
floor with bullet-hole in his forehead.
A 41-caliber single-shot derringer was
grasped in his hand His left trouser
leg was pulled up and examination
showed a mark on his leg where the
weapon had rested while concealed in
his left shoe. Haas wore CATERS with
elastic sides, which made this possible.
After he had shot Mr.. Heney Haas
was searched by Police Captain Duke,
Detective Burns and a police officer.
After he had been taken to the county
Jail he was searched again, but at neither
time were his shoes examined Haas
went to bed Friday night with his shoes
on and again Saturday night, and when

CHINA ON BRINK
OF REVOLUTION
Prince Chun Fears RefOrmes May
Overthrow Dynasty.
Masses just Awakening to Death OF
Dowager Empress and Emperor
and /, Panic Following ~ Banks
Are Closed Thousands of Gend-
armes Guard Streets.

Pekin. Nov 17.--China is beginning
TO realize that the emperor and the
dowager empress are dead. Prince
Chun, regent Of the empire, IN tear
Of increasing excitement and revolu-
tionary movements, has taken firm
grip on affairs and has adopted
stringent measures that will result IN
the maintenance of peace for a time
at least.
At noon 5000 gendarmes guarded
the streets, and other military forces
were held in readiness for any event
uality. Every precaution was taken
to prevent a recurrence Of the revo-
lutionary tactics Of last April and
May, which were marked by wide
spread incendiarism. The foreign le-
cations are under guard, special de-
taehments Of Chinese troops keeping
watch at the approaches. The state
ment was made at the legations that
there was no fear that the Chinese
government would be unable to aft
ford ample protection, but those
within the legations were more alert
than usual and seemingly anxious to
have set at rest the doubts arising
from the swift movement of events
in the last few days.
There were many occurrences yes
terday to add to the sinister aspect of
affairs. Rumors were current for a
time that the new dowager Yehonala
and Yuan Shi Kai, the grand coun-
cillor, and one of the most powerful
men in the empire, had committed
suicide Though there was no truth
in these reports, they went far toward
disturbing the Chinese and foreigners
alike
Serious runs on banks occurred yes
terday and today, and IA native banks
closed. The crowds were wild with
excitement. and toward the close Of
the day the police interviewed and
drove them back One foreign con-
Germ, the Yokohama Specie bank. suf-
fered big run on its Tientsin notes,
but the British, Russian and German
institutions were not affected 1t is
probable that number of native
banks will be closed tomorrow, and
it is believed that the government will
step in and endeavor to stop the
financial panic among the poorer
classes.

Mr.. Gregson has just received press

DIES BEFORE TELLING MUCH.
Assassin Haas is Believed to Have
Given Little information.

San Francisco, Nov i7.--From the
best information obtainable it is be-
lieved that Detective Burns secured
some sorl of a rambling statement from
Haas to the effect that he had been ap.
preached by persons who attempted to
increase his resentment toward Hcncy
by making remarks such as II would
not stand such treatment" etc.
II is also rumorcd that Detective
Burns is shortly to make public the
statements which Haas made to him
during the day of sweating to which
Haas was subjected just before he took
his own life. Just what these disclos-
ures viii be and whether or not they
will implicatc anybody in a conspiracy
cannot now be learned from the prose
cution.
Ii is true, however. that Detective
Burns, az the time he was making an
examination Of the body of the dead
man at the county jail was heard to
make remarks which indicated that his
chain Of evidence secured from Haas
statements was not nearly as conclusive
as he hadshoped. and that for that rea-
son he deplored the act which made ii
impossible to secure any further state
ments

San Francisco, Nov 17.-After
passing through a most successful OPP

cation of the leaden pellet in the mus

Chief Surgeon Terry, Of the city hos

1t was found that the bullet. which
entered the right side of the head
lust in front of the ear, had passed
downward. crossing the palate and
striking the left lower jawbone, which
was slightly splintered but not
broken. The bullet was DETECTED
backward by striking the bone. and
lodged in the muscles of the law. It's
removal necessitated the utmost sur

Mr.. Heney rallied rapidly from the
effects of the anaesthetic, showing no

quiet day and slept peacefully last
night. At midnight it was said bv
