and seriously wounded in the crowded

keeper. who vas drawn upon the jury
panel in the second trial of Ruef, and
who, after having been temporarily
passed by both sides. was exposed in a
dramatic manner by Mr.. Heney as an
e~x-convict and discharged from the
jury. Haas declared after the shooting
that Heney had ruined his life by this
exposure. and that he had determined
to kill him for that reason.
Haas Kills Himself In Jail
Morris Haas, who attempted to assas-
sinate Francis Heney, committed sui
eide in the San Francisco county Jail
saturday night by shooting himself
through the forehead with a pistol he
had concealed about his person. Haas
went to bed at s o'clock and covered up
his face with a blanket. At $40 a shot
was heard from 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 fore.
head. A 4l-caliber single shot derring
er was grasped in his hand. His left
trouser leg was pulled up. and an ex-
animation 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 Heney.
Haas was searched by Police Captain
Duke, Detective Burns and a police
officer. After he hal been taken to the
county Jail he was searched again, but
at neither time were his shoes examined.

Monday that was entirely successful
The one bullet that had been fired into
his head by Haas was extracted from
the jaw, where it had been located by
X-ray examinations. Is was found tC

moved with some difficulty. His con
dition is pronounced most satisfactory
and it is now confidently expected thai
he will recover, the only danger being
from blood poisoning.
Career of Francis j. Heney
Francis j. Heney had a remarkable
career in Arizona, California and Ore

California he studied law and late

by Handy, whom he shot dead.

Cannot Amend The Police Law

It is now claimed that the coming session of the Legislature
will not be able to amend the State Police bill as intended owing to
the fact that under the Referendum law of the State when the
people vote to keep a measure on the statutes, the measure cannot
be taken from the statutes except by the vote of the people. Conse-
quently the people of Nevada having voted to keep the measure on
the statute book of the State, only by a similar vote can it be taken
from the laws.
Already the question has resulted in considerable discussion
and many of the attorneys are digging up the law on the question
1t is likely that if the contention is true then the proposed amend
ments will be submitted to the people two years from now Tor
vote. The question is an interesting one.

William Randolph Hearst, possessed of money, many newspapers,
no scruples and a longing for the United States Senate, regard
Nevada as a Legitimate short cut to the fulflment of his desires ?
Let's have Bill Hearst, by all means!
Even to-day Nevada is sick of a lot of the scum of the earth
which has been foisted upon her in the name of politics. Now
let's get Hearst and he will act as the final bolus which will insure
a general spewing out of the bile and filth which now lays so
heavily upon the internal organism of the State. After that, watch
Nevada brighten up and gain weight Encourage Hearst into
coming, by all means.

at 2 O'Clock, while being hauled in the
palapquin to the death chamber. The
body now lies in the chair, awaiting
the visit of the court undertaken.
Both the Emperor and the Empress

Death. bed o~bservances of 5000 years
ago marked the passing of the Emperor
and Dowager. They died alone and
unattended, although surrounded by
circles of abject spectators who re-
NAMED at a distance, as, on account Of
the sacred persons of their late Males
ties, they could not be approached.
The Emperor died as he had lived,
without ministration of any kind or
scientific aid. For months he had re-
fused to permit the service of foreign
physicians, and, although it was stated
that he had gone back to the other
form of medical treatment. it is be-
lieved that latterly he received no
treatment at all.

1t is now said that the Police law was not approved by the
people at the recent election, because it did not receive a majority
of all the votes cast. The Referendum law provides that when a
majority of the electors voting at a State election shall by their
votes signify approval of a law or resolution, such law or resolution
shall stand as the law, etc. While the majority of those who voted
on the Police law voted for its approval, the vote in its favor is said
to fall short of a majority of all the votes cast at the election. Ii
this is the case, there is no question about the right of the
Legislature to amend it

pealed and the appellate court freed
him on the ground that the indictment
was faulty. This decision freed Ruef
also. Ruef was tried later on another

the great state of Iowa made over the
state last week. when they sneaked
home from Des Moines. ashamed but
compelled to admit that they had
been called together at large expense
for no other purpose than to make
another false attempt to satisfy the
political greed and ambition of one
man, who has done more to wreck the
republican party of Iowa that any
thousand men in the state-that the
session had been failure-that what
little was done they did in a Dlunder-
ing way that the whole business was
blunder which even the most enthu-
siastic ringsters of the Cummins ma
chine must now admit.

no other party he may have primary
ballot on taking oath he is republi-
can. That is the test. Upon this
separate ballot he will indicate his
choice for United States Senator. and
it is expected that the Legislature
when it meets again Nov. Gath will
elect the man receiving the largest
vote, for the short term. and that the
next legislature will elect him for the
long term. There you have it, Gov.
CunImins failed as usual of election
by the special session that he ought
never to have called. and the fight is
on again. The outcome of the special
session is decided victory for the
standpatters. for they have contended
against the special session. There was
no excuse or reason for it. A man big
enough to be u. S. Senator would
never have resorted to such trick.
When will the party rid itself of this
man who is wrecking it?
