Ex-CoNsUL wALLER,s CASE.
The Inquiries Made by MIR. Eustis at

The Inquiries Made by MIR. Eustis at
Paris.
The representations which Ambassador
Eustis was instructed to lay before the
French government touching the arrest
and confinement of ex-United States Con-
sui Waller in Madagascar and his sub
sequent deport1tion to France were ex-
tremely courteous in tone and were in
tended to develop the French side of the
case. 1t was stated that as Mr.. Waller Is
an American citizen the Department of
circumstances in his case. to be informed
specifically Of the nature of the charges
made against him and of the evidence
upon which he was convicted.
The report of United States Consul Wet
ter, who succeeded Mr.. Waller as United
States consul there, while substantially
confirming the newspaper reports of the
case, was not sufficient to satisfy the State
Department. which desires an accurate
statement of all the facts before determin-
ing what it's attitude shall be in this mat
ter. Therefore Mr.. Eustis has requested
the French government to be supplied with
an official statement of all Of the facts as
developed before the court-martial in Mad
agascar.
1t may be also that he will request the
privilege of communicating personally with
Mr.. Waller, who is now in confinement un-
der penal sentence, to gather further in
formation from his side of the case. 1t is
stated that this preliminary proceeding in
no ways commits the United States to
recognition of the regularity and legality
of the trial of Waller by a court-martial,
and, in fact, all rights to object to any
steps that have been taken are reserved.

Sergt. Charles Kerby Of the Anacostia
substation died this morning at $50 o'clock
at his residence, No. 1874 jackson street,
Anacostia, after an illness of less than an
hour.
Sergt. Kerby left his home about 7:30
apparently in the best Of health and went
direct to the police station on Harrison
street. He went out on some duty, and
upon returning to the station about $50
o'clock complained to Station Keeper Eek
lauf that he was very sick, and shortly
afterward finding that he was fast becom-
ing worse went to his home and retired
to his room.
Mrs. Kerby noticed upon his entering the
house that her husband was very i'll, and
at once sent for DR.. r. A. Pyles. By the
time he reached the house, however, the
stricken man was dead.
Sergt. kerby was known by everybody
In Anacostia, and the news Of his death
spread with rapidity and produced a feel
ing OF sadness closely akin to that caused
Irving Lysles. for, like them, he was uni
versally popular. Lieut.. McCathran Of the
fifth precinct heard OF Sergt. Kerby's sud-
den death at police headquarters. He was
greatly shocked. and at once drove to the
Anacostia station, where he gave such d.
rections as were necessary under the cir
cumstances.
Coroner Hammett vas notified, and after
suited from natural causes. and that an
inquest was unnecessary. The remains
were prepared for burial by ]. William Lee.
but the arrangements for the funeral have
not been completed.
Sergt Charles Kerby was born in Oxon
Hill district, Md, October 10, 1874. He was
appointed private on the police force In
August, 1875, and assigned to the eighth
precinct. He subsequently served in other
precincts, and about seven years ago was
promoted to sergeancy. When Lieut..
McCathran, who. at the time of his promo
ton, in 1891, had charge of the Anacostia
substaticn. was placed in command Of the
fifth precinct, Sergt. Kerby succeeded him
at Anacostia. The deceased was a member
Of st. Thsresa's Catholic Church, the con-
ference of st. Vincent de Paul and the
Catholic Knights of America. He leaves a
widow and five small children. the oldest
about fourteen years Of age and the young
est baby.

Burglars ana Others.

The Police Are on the Lookout for
Burglars ana Others.
Since Saturday afternoon Inspector Hol-
linbergers detectives, as we'll as the police
in the several precincts, have made every
effort to capture several burglars but with
out success, although the presence of the
officers at certain points may have pre-
vented some burglars from looting houses
and committingsother depredations. 1t was
thought that the burglars who have been
robbing the houses Of ministers while the
latter were at church might make another
attempt to operate, and the police were
particularly active about the houses of the
ministers whore 1t was thought the bur-
glars would probably go.
Several Of the detectives were put on this
work last night, and policemen in citizens
clothes were also on the alert. but the bur
glars failed to appear, and were probably
at work in a neighboring city.
The fact that SO many Of the officers
were at police headquarters early Sunday
evening gave rise to the rumor that an
other Sunday night raid on Jackson City
was to be made, and the residents of this
lawless village were In state of uncer-
tainty all night. 1t Is reported that many
of the "touts". and loungers about the race
track left Jackson City and took refuge In
the country.
Detectives Horne and Weldon were busy
following up the safe blowing case and
making further investigation of the
statements contained IN the confession OF
"Billy'' Williams
The principal work being done in this
case now is an effort to capture Charles,
alias Buck" Offutt and Jack Dempsey
who are still at large. AS heretofore pub
lished, Offutt has been located several
times, so the officers say, but he managed
each time to get out of the way before
they reached the place where he had been.

Detectives Carter and Gallaher are still

berry from persons who imagined they

Alexandrians Complain of the Hy-

There is considerable complaint today in

the slightest idea.
Chief Engineer Warfield was next seen.

itive that the hydraulian people were noti-
fed by responsible person the exact To-
cation of the fire (and they admit this noti-
ncation) and / am utterly at a loss to
understand why they did not go to the
fire. l have reported the matter verbally to
Mr.. Hill, president Of the board of fire
wardens and will follow it up with a writ
ten report. While we are on this subject
might as well say that the police are
required by the regulations to run to the
nearest fire engine house and turn In an

Mr.. Warfield said further: II would also
like to call attention to the crippled condi-
ton of the fire department at this time. and
this will be embodied in a special report l
shall make to the fire wardens. The Co
lumbia company Is without horSeS ana con-
sequently have to wait until some Of the
other apparatus gets to the fire and sends
it's horses back for their engine. The
truck Is in horrible condition and might fall
to pieces at any time Gt is one we borrowed
in Washington. Judging from present in
dications l hardly expect our own truck,
which as been in the shop for several
months past for a general overhauling. to
be in service again before 2O01." The mud
die of last night shows the great necessity
for O complete fire alarm system, there be-
ing none at this time. A prominent in
