Had Been Excluded From Jury In Former Ruef Trial Owing to Hit Exposure by the Prosecutor as an E-Convict Wounded Man Will Probably Recover Wound-Be As sassin Killed Himself In the County Jail. Francis J. Heney, a leading figure In prosecution of municipal corruption In San Francisco, was shot and seri ously injured in Judge Lawlor's court room by Morris Haas, a saloon keep er, who had been accepted as a juror In a previous trial of Abraham Ruef and afterwards removed, it having bf-en shown in court by Heney that Haas was an ex-convict, a lact not brought out in his examination as a venireman. . The shooting of Heney occurred in the presence of many persons in the courtroom during a recess in the trial of Abraham Ruef, on trial on the charge of bribery. At 6 o'clock at night Mr. Heney, who regained con sciousness and will likely recover, said: "I will live to prosecute Haas and Ruef." The physicians in attendance on Hen ey expressed the opinion that the as sistant district attorney would live. It was Ascertained that tho bullet, which had entered the right cheek, had lodged under the left ear and had not entered his brain or severed any Important arteries or nerves. It was during a ten-minutes recess of court and while the jury was out of the courtroom and after attorneys for the prosecution and defense had returned to the room from a short conference with Judge Lawlor In his chambers that Heney resumed his customary Beat and entered Into con versation with Chief Clerk McCabe of the district attorney's office. Haas came foiward from among the spec tators. He approached Heney and placing u revolver against Heney's right cheek, fired. Directly after the shooting, while Mr. Heney was still lying on the floor, several newspaper reporters approach ed the assassin, who had not been Identified, and asked him for his name. At first he refused to give It, then he said: "I am Morris Haas. Heney ruined me. I don't care what becomes of me now." Haas on Saturday nlhgt killed him self with a revolver which was passed to him after he was locked up. PRISON SHIP MARTYRS. Judge Taft and Governor Hughes Spoke at Monument's Dedication.

PHOFITONBEETSUGAR Too Small to Permit Foreign Competition, Say Producers. Chairman Payne Indicated Passible Action of the Committee With Re gard to the Sugar Schedule Told Secretary Wright the Menace, If Any, Was From Cuban Sugar, Which Enjoys a 20 Per Cent Re ductionMr. Wright Favors Limited Free Entry From Islands. Washington. Nov. 17. The allega tlon that the so-called "sugar trust" controls the price paid the grower and tho price charged the consumer ot sugar, the secretary of war putting blmrelf on record as a champion of free entry for Philippine sugar, and the general "stand pat" attitude of the beet sugar growers who appeared be fore the ways and means committee of the house, were the features of the hearing on the revision of the tariff as it would affect sugar. "1 Just heard that the committee was hearing arguments on the tariff on sugar and tobacco, which affects the Philippine Islands," Bald the form er governor of the Islands. "We are now having an Investigation made In the Philippines regarding the cost of production in the Islands and other matter relating to the question. From what I have Just heard, the prin cipal objection by the beet sugar grow er to the admission free of duty of Philippine sugar lies in the danger that their markets will be inundated by the Philippine article. Islands Could Not Affect Market. "It is not possible the Philippine is lands could supply the actual increase in demand for sugar, year by year, in the United States. In that case there is no reason why the Philippine is lands should affect the market until the beet and cane sugar produced within the tariff wall increased 1,800, 000 tons. Before the beet sugar In dustry Is in the slightest danger It must. Increase from 440,000 tons an nually to 2.100,000 tons, and from an nual reports It would take fifty years to do this. I cannot see how it would affect the domestic product if Philip pine sugar were placed for a time on the free list." Chairman Payne indicated that the possible Hction of the committee with regard to the sugar schedule would be to recommend that a certain amount of Philippine sugar be admitted free of duty each year and that the present tariff be imposed on any above that amount. He told Secretary Wright that the menace, If any, was from the Cuban sugar, which enjoys a reduc tion In the tariff of 20 per cent. He also intimated that the question of Philippine tariff was so Important a question that It might not be con sidered as being strictly a part of the work of tevlslng the Dingley tariff, but would be taken up separately. Secretary Wright asked to be heard further on the subject as soon as he could galher more Information. He Mid he favored a limited free entry on Rtigar and tobacco from the Philip pines. Secretary Wright said that the production of sugar In the Philippines would not Increase to any extent. What Beet Sugar Men Say. Representative Fordney of Michi gan, who has a large number of sugar beet farmers among his constituents, told the secretary thnt the same argu ment was put forth with regard to the Cuban sugar several years ago and yet the production in Cuba had Increased very largely, and the American beet sugar Industry had not Increased very much. "The beet sugar people say that the American Sugar Refining compa ny has no Interest In their factories," said the secretary, referring to the so-called "trust," "yet three years ago they said a trustee, understood to rep resent the American Sugar Refining company, owned 51 per cent of the stock of all the beet sugar factories. That may be the reason why the beet sugar Industry In this country has not grown rather than the importation of Cuban sugar. There has been no re duction in the prices of sugar In a number of years." Col. D. T). Colcock, on behalf of the Louisiana Cane Sugar Growers, said that the methods by which the "trust" names the price which It would pay the grower are unfair and "damnable." Henry T. Oxnard. F. R. Hathaway, C. II. Smith, F. T. Scholes, G. W. Mc rormlek and W. II. Baled, represent ing the Beet Sugar Manufacturers of tho West, asked tfflit the present tariff be maintained, or If changed .that It be Increased, claiming that the margin of profit on beet sugar was too small to permit of any competition with the foreign refiners.

On de mand of the executive of the Canadian Pacific Mechanics' unions, Hell Hardy, chairman, resigned owing to the dis satisfaction of the men over the set tlement of the strike a few weeks ago, LOSS OF LIFE IN HEAVY SEA. Attempt to Smuggle Ends In Whole sale Drowning. An attempt to smuggle Chinamen into this country from Canada ended In disaster Thursday morning when all but four of the Chinamen and their es corts were either drowned or dashed to death on the rocks on the lake side of the breakwall, not far from a point nearly opposite the foot of Michigan street, about a quarter of a mile from the life saving station. Four bodies of Chinamen were recovered shortly after daylight and three more bodies were positively located wedged In the rocks. Four Chinamen were rescued. There are conflicting reports con cerning white men In the party. One of Ihe rescued Chinamen said there were three white men In the party and that they escaped, the last seen of them being when they ran along the lreakwall in the direction of the Lack awanna Steel plant. All that Is known Is that the suing' triers must have started from some' where In the vicinity of Windmill Point on the Canadian shore and that they were trying to make Buffalo har bor. The Chinamen were taken across the lower end of the lake in a gaso line launch which had two rowboats In tow. It developed later that the launch contained ten Chinamen and three white men, the latter being the smugglers. The rowboats were not occupied. Ordinarily the smugglers load the Chinamen in the rowboats which are towed. This gives the smugglers a chance to get away in the launch In case of pursuit. The heavy Bea, It Is said, made the smugglers depart from this custom and place all the China men in the launch. . . DECISIVE LIBERAL VICTORY.

The silent vote of about 182,000 In the August elections, of which the Conservatives confidently expected to receive the great, majority, wont overwhelmingly Liberal. The predic tions that the combined Liberal fac tions, the Mlguellstas and Zaylstas, would divide at the polls were not ful filled, the vote going solidly for Gen eral Gomez and Alfredo Zayas, ihe lat ter the vice presidential candidate.
