PROM MW ONLOFFICER KILLEDBURGLARfirst (right of his rapid approach.There was a sharp report as he •was about to pass the ofticer, and Waterbury fell to the street, mortally wounded. Pour dragging shots from the wounded officer’s gun followed him, and Waterbury’s finger, trembling with weakness, was pressing feebly against the trigger for another shot when his brother officers hurried to his assistance.The burglar turned south and east at a zig zag course from there on, shedding his overcoat as he went. The chase was ended to summon assistance for the wounded man, Drs. W. L. Hall and J. G. Byrne, living near, were already doing what they could to relieve his suffering when the patrol wagon, laden with officers who were heavily armed,.dashed up the hill to take him to the hospital.Waterbury FailsA dragnet of police*was hastily stretched about the hill and Waterbury was hurried to the operating room at the Sacred Heart hospital. The bullet had passed nearly through his body, tearing his vitals as it went. An operation, in which the bullet, of .38 caliber, was extracted and the Injured organs dressed as well as possible, was hastily performed, but from the first the staff of physicians, headed by Emergency Physician O’Shea, gave no hope of recovery. Waterbury sank rapidly and died a little before 4 o’clock this morning.I Know You, MotherHe is survived by a wife and three children. His only words, after he had been taken to the Sacred Heart hospital, were spoken to his weeping family. They were: “Yes, I know you mother; I know you children.”He spoke with the greatest effort, for his wounds would have meant almost instant death to the ordinary man.The burglar’s overcoat, with a mask in Its pocket, was found by Officers Downey and Buchholz, and his rubbers were picked up a little later by Officers Chester Edwards and Boldman. Every suspicious character is being rounded up by the police by the order of Chief Sullivan, who remained at the martyred officer’s bedside till he died.George Snyder, working 1n theGalland-Burke brewery, was taken from the Hillyard car a little after 10 o’clock last night by three officers and hurried to the police station as a suspect.

The right of free speech as a citizen it accorded to Peabody or any one else, and I do not think that he transgressed this right in his talk here Tuesday night/* AGAINST PEABODY.J. M. Henderson, first reader of the First Church of Christ, Scientist: “I do not want to be placed In the attitude of criticising Peabody or engaging in a controversy with him, as this is not in keeping with the belief of the members of the Christian Science faith. The public can find the works of Mrs. Eddy in the public library, and it is strange that if her teachings are so pernicious that these books would be permitted there There is nothing to be gained by Mr. Peabody or the Ministerial association by the attack, as it has only served to stir interest among Scientists and has already created a greater demand for our literature. The Peabody assertions are merely revivals of old, worn-opt and often-answered charges, the falsity of whffh has been proven time and again.*'Mrs. Ingram, Christian Science practitioner, Peyton, block: “I say of Mr. Peabody as Jesus said of the Jews, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’ This attack is not suggestive of the teachings of the Master, whose work the members of the Ministerial alliance are suposed to advocate and follow out in their daily lives. Jesus said, *If we do not love our fellow man, whom we see, how can we love God, whom we do not see.’ There is no element of love in the intemperate attack on Mrs. Eddy made by Lawyer Peabody.”\JJJJJJtv4I\rf(;t\£cc\8MACK HASN’TREPUDIATED BRYAN(By United Press.)WASHINGTON, D.
