CHIEF o'coNNoR HAS HOPES

Patrolman Charles Mayer, who was
shot by burglars in the rear of Louis
Jessrang's saloon, corner of University
and Harrington avenues, yesterday morn
ing at 2:3O o'clock succumbed to his
wounds at $50, being but little over three
hours after being shot. An operation was
performed on the wounded man at st.
Josephs hospital by Dr. Gilhllan, but
nothing could save his life from the muir
derers bullet.
The bullet, which was of large calibre,
entered the body on the left side just
above the hip and after penetrating the
intestines lodged beneath the skin on the
opposite side. The ntestines were punc-
turd in many places and as soon as the
physician saw their condition he knew
that there was no hope of the mans re-
eovery. Chief O'Connor was notified that
the man was going,to die and County At
torney Kane was taken by the central
patrol wagon to the hospital to take an
ante-mortem statement. Mayer never
regained consciousness after going under
the influence of the anaesthetic and could
make no statements

sneciaI 10 The Globe.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. DIR Milton S.
Terry, one of the members of the faculty
of the Garrett Biblical institute, the the
illogical department Of Northwestern uni
yersity, stirred to unusual depths because
of recent criticisms passed upon him,
issued a statement today replying to his
critics. In the statement he takes the
stand that God is not the only creator,
and cites instances were the creation of
matter is due to other sources.
The statement is the outcome of a dis
cussion which DR.. Terry has had with
Edward A. himball, Of Boston, a prom
inent member of the Christian Science
faith. In a recent lecture at Evanston
Mr.. Kimball stated that God created sin,
sickness and deaf. With this statement
DR.. Terry took issue SO vigorously that
criticisms were made upon his ortho-
doXy. This led to the publishing by the
doctor of his ideas on the matter.
In the statement he says, among other
things: God is not the only creator,
nor has His omnipotence any necessary
logical or casual connection with sin. Sin
is the creation of a self-conscious free
person, made little lower than Cod
but just as real as he.''
Il am surprised said the doctor in
his statement, ''to learn that an oppo-
sitiOn so inconsistent with obvious facts
should be accepted by the careful think

taken to the hospital is as follows: He
was making his last rounds before being
relieved at o'clock and went to the
rear of Jessrangs saloon to try the door.
The door is about twenty feet from Far
rington avenue and is in a comparatively
open space. A coal bin stands at the
left side Of the door and it appears that
the men were in hiding behind 1t. AS
Mayer walked past the bin the burglars,
who were attempting to enter the saloon,
opened fire on him, shooting two or three
times. One of these shots took effect as
stated above, and the wounded man fell
in his tracks. AS soon as he fell the
desperadoes made good their escape
Wounded Man Fires Pistol.
About two minutes after the shots were
fired the neighbors heard someone blow
ing a whistle and a minute later three
shots were fired in rapid succession. 1t
proved that the last shots were fired by
the wounded man to call someone to his
assistance. He then began to blow the
whistle again and continued until several
of the neighbors arrived on the scene.
Herman Boesel, SIS Harrington avenue,
was the first man to reach Officer Mayer
He found the wounded man lying on the

down, to say nothing Of blowing out the
door Of thc small safe N the Jessrong
saloon.
The police are of the 7pinion that the
work was not that If experts for many
reasons. In the first place they would
never have taken the risk nf carrying
around so large a quantity Of explosive
with them, when it was entirely unneed-
ed. That they did not nave any look
out while they were attempting to
blow the safe is considered to be anoth-
er. evidence of their lack of experience
in the burglar line There was no ne
cessity on their part Of killing any per-
son, something which the burglar Of ex-
perience tries his best to avoid. and
lastly there was nothing to he COINED by
blowing the safe, and had the plan been
successful and they had secIred all there
was in it, there would not have been
hardly enough to pay them for their
trouble.
One fact that may perhaps lead to the
detection of the murderegs is that they
used peculiar revolver, and one that
is very rare. The bullet vas a 55-caliDer
and one that can be used only IN one
make of guns. CHEZ O'Connor, after
searching through the sporting goods
boxes of these cartridges in the entire
city. The chief has not divuIged the
make of the weapon, AS he thinks tEat
it is possible that owing to it's rarity,
the person who sold the men the
cartridges may remember those who
bought them. If this should be the case,
the police would have an important clue
to begin their work of running the Grim
inals to the ground.
There is no question that Officer Mayer
frustrated a burglary when he gave up
his life, as an examination of the rear
premises Of the saloon S /ow that the
men had been at work there for some
time, and also that they had taken pre-
caution to learn exactly the wherea-
bouts of the bolts with which the rear

door was of pine boards, one inch in
thickness, and through this the burglars
had cut with jack knives semi oval
