Heney, today received the following telegram from President Roosevelt; “WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov, 14.—I am inexpress- ibly shocked at the attempted assassination of Heney, and most earnestly hope that he will recover. The infamous character of the would-be assassin, no less than the in- famous character of the deed, call attention in a startling way to the true character of the forces against which Heney and you and your associates have been struggling “Every decent American who kas the honor and in- terests of the community at heart should join, not only in putting a stop to the wave of violent crime, of which this man’s act is but one of the symptoms, but in stamping out the hideous corruption in which men like this would-be assassin are bred and flourish. “That can only be done by warring, as Heney has warred, relentlessly against every man who is guilty of corrupt practices, without any regard to his social stand- ing, to his prominence in the world of politics or in the world of business, “I earnestly hope that Heney will recover, and I give utterance to what I know would be Heney’s wish when I say that I earnestly hope that, whether he recovers or not, there will be no faltering in the work in which Heney has been so gallant and efficient a leader. “THEODORE ROOSEVELT.” (Wriaten for the United Press by Detective William J.
