FRANCIS J. HENEY.

Haas declared after the shooting that
Heney had ruined his life by exposure
and that he had determined to kill
him for that reason.
4 Mr.. Heney had finished the cross-ex-
animation at noon Of James J. Gal
Iagher, the prosecutions most import
ant witness In all the bribery graft
cases and the self-confessed "go-be-
tween" Of Ruef and the former board
Of supervisors.
Henry Ach, chief counsel for Ruef,
had subjected Gallagher to severe
cross-examination for two hours in the
afternoon when Judge Lawler declared
q brief recess at 4:05. The jury filed
out and Mr.. Heney and Ach and
Dozier, at the request Of the Judge,
went into his chamber to confer with
him on some Nroposed instructions to
the jury. At ~ close of the confer
ence Ach, Dozier and Judge Lawler
went out Of the court room In front Of
the building which is located on Fulton
street near Vanness avenue.
Mr.. Heney, instead of going outside
to enjoy breath Of air, stepped for a
moment into an ante room and then
came back to his counsel table. While
many Of the people who crowded the
court room until there was no stand.
ing room left, had also gone out on
the sidewalk there was still q large
crowd in the room.
Mr.. Heney was leaning over on his
table conversing In low tones with
AL. McCabe, chief clerk in the district
attorneys ONCE. Directly in front Of
him was James L, Gallagher the wit
ness. A representative Of the Asso-
cIated press had Just walked to Mr.
Heney's table and was standing at his
left elbow waiting to speak to him
when q small man, neatly attired, ap-
preached the assistant district attor
ney from behind in quick steps but
with elaboration. Suddenly his right
hand shot out and before the newspa-
per man, McCabe or John Foley,
Heney's special body guard, sitting
about eight feet away, could make a
move there was a flash and loud re-
port rang through the court room.
For a moment everybody seemed
stunned and paralyzed. The would-be
assassin, whose revolver was within
foot and half Of Heney's head when
he pulled the trigger, stepped back,
his arms by his side, one hand still
clutching the smoking pistol, as II he
hesltated what to do. For a fraction
Of q second an impressive silence fol.
lowed the report while the smoke Of
~ ennt lazny noated away, Tpe~
followed q dramatic scene.
Some one shouted my God. he has
shot Heneyl"
A chorus Of means escaped the
crowd. Half the people evidently fear
ing further shooting. made a frantic
rush for the doors. Before Haas could
raise his pistol again Foley and q. ].
Wiskotchill. q special policeman. were
upon him, threw him to the floor and
wrested the weapon from his grasp.
After Mr.. Heney had been removed
from the court room Judge Lawlor
called court to order and had Mr.. Ruef
placed in custody.

At the Hotel Maryland
One of the greatest occasions in hotel
circles in Pasadena this season was
the presentation of the second annual
minstrel show at the Hotel Maryland.
Tom Linnard is to be congratulated on
the successful outcome of the enter
tainment.
Thursday and Friday were the days
devoted to this good time, and the pro-
gram was most entertainingly carried
out by all the participants.
After the first portion of the pro-
gram Col. w. J, Hogan, who is the god
father of the Maryland minstrels, ex-
planned to the audience that the pro-
ceeds of the entertainment would go
to the cause of the homeless children
of Pasadena, and thereupon auction
eered, In parcels of five, fifty tickets
for the succeeding nights entertain
ment, netting about $4OO.
The regular price for these tickets
was $75. Hogan bid 800 on one quintet
of tickets when one bidder refused to
give his name after offering $50 on five
tickets.
The orphans will probably net $1,000
out of the two nights entertainments,
as the proceeds. including the sale OF
the gorgeous baskets the second night,
amounted to something between $1,000
and $1400.

he WAS WILLINc TO WALK

In a certain provincial town in Ire
land dwelt two Celts--Hennessy and
O'Brien-who one day set out to seek
their fortunes in a new country. In
Dublin they became separated, and
Hennessy, unable to find his COM
rade. embarked for America alone. Ar
rived in New York, he secured a posi-
tion as a diver and was put to work
near the docks.
Meanwhile O'Brien, after an arduous
but vain search for his friend. took a
ship bound for New York. AS the ship
was being docked he saw diver just
emerging from the water; and as
O'Brien had never seen a diver before,
he watched this ones every move with
wonderment. But his delight and
arnazement knew no bounds when
seeing the diver remove his helmet. he
recognized his one-time companion
Hennessy. Suddenly. however, a great
light broke upon O'Brien's mind, and
his countenance underwent change.
There was a world OF reproach in his
voice when he sang out:
"Oi say, Hinnissy. why the divil
didn't yez tell me we intinded to walk
over? I'd have walked with ye."-Bo-
hemian.

NEW

PLAYA DEL REV IN LINE FOR
IMPROVEMENTS
FINE HOTEL TO BE ERECTED
THERE
Eastern Capitalists Interested in, the
Resort and Building Operations
Will Begin During the
Summer

Special to The Herald.
PLAYA DEL REY, Feb. 16.-For
many months 1t has been rumored in
a general way that vast improvements
were planned in the near future for
Playa del Rey, but no definite details
of the projected changes could be OBJ
tained from the Los Angeles-Pacific
officials, who are virtually the owners
Of the attractive stretch of sand and
water.
Now from an authoritative source
news is given out that work on the
building up of an ideal resort at Playa
del Rey will be started soon.
In the plan of improvements, which
is an extensive one, several million dol
lars will be expended. Details for the
vast scheme now are being worked
out and everything is being placed in
readiness so that at the word the build
ing of the new pleasure resort will be
started and carried rapidly to it's COM
pletion.
One of the most important of the
features planned will be the erection of
a magnificent hotel. The site for this
hostelry will be Mount Playa, the beau
tiful sloping hill which rises just south
of the head of the lagoon.
A number of months ago, a small in
foothill and is in readiness for opera
tion. Many eastern capitalists have
become interested in the hotel project
and while no definite contract for the
erection of the hostelry has been made
it is said negotiations are under way
for it's lease.
Offers Suggestions
Andrew s. Lee, proprietor of the st.
Marks hotel at Venice, who is well
known throughout the east and west
as a successful hotel manager, has Of
fered a suggestion in connection with
the proposed Playa del Rey hotel which
will in all likelihood be carried out.
Mr.. Lee was formerly assistant man.
ager of the Brown Palace hotel in Den
yer and also of a large hotel in Florida.
His idea is to establish the hotel not
only as Rn attractive one for tourists
but to advertise it widely throughout
the east as sanitorium for people
suffering from infammatory rheuna-
vfsm.
In his management of the st. Mark S
hotel Mr.. Lee has given particular at
tention to 'the advertising of the hot
salt water baths, which are said to
be of great benefit to persons coming
to California to obtain relief from
rheumatism. In making the hot salt
baths large feature of the new hotel,
1t is thought the success of the project
will be greatly enhanced.
Among other improvements which are
to be established will be a magnificent
new bathhouse TO cost approximately
$50 900. A large dancing pavilion will
be built, bowling alley will be estab-
lished and the present hotel at Playa
del Rey is to be enlarged to the extent
of two stories.
