PRIEST SHOT DEAD
AT COMMUNION
Killed BY Anarchist as He Admin
lstered the Sacrament.
CAUSED PANIC IN CHURCH

Denver, Colo, Feb. 24.-Father Leo
Heinrichs was shot and killed by Giu-
seppe Guarnaccto, an avowed anar-
chist and priest hater, while the priest
was administering sacrament at early
mass in St. Elizabeth's R(H1an Catholic
church. Kneeling at the altar rail be-
tween two women, Guarnaccto pressed
the muzZle of a revolver against the
body of the priest, after receiving from
him the cOnsecrated wafer, and shot
the priest through the heart. Exclaim-
ing My God, My God" Father Leo fell
prone in front of the altar and, died.
With an inarticulate scream, the as
sassin sprang into the aisle and, waiv-
ing the smoking pistol about his head,
dashed to the church door. For a
moment, the hundred or more persons
in the church were dazed Then a
woman shrieked and the congregation
became panic stricken. Several women
tainted and many others became hys-
terical. Several men, including Patrol
man Daniel CrOnin, started in pursuit
of the murderer. Policeman Cronin
overlook the fleeing Italian, on the
church steps. Guarnaccto attempted to
shoot the policeman, but was fOiled
and OverpOwered after a desperate
struggle, in which several men assisted
the officer.
The murderer was hurriedly removed
to the city Jail. AS threats of sum-
mary vengeance were made by men
who quickly gathered in front of the
church. Chief of Police Michael De
laney called out the reserve force of
| patrOlmen.
GuarnacctO was put in solitary con
| finement. He admitted to a policeman
that the priest whom he had killed was
a stranger to him and, in explanation
of his crime, said:
81 just went over there because
| have a grudge against all priests III
general. They are all against tbs
working man. l went to the com
muniOn rail because l could get a better
shot l did not give a damn whether
he was a German priest or any othel
kind of a priest They are all in the
same class.

THE FLEET AT cALLAo
Admiral Evans, Though III, Is Still In
Command.

Admiral Evans, Though Ill, Is Still In
Command.
CallaO, Feb. 21.-The American bat
tleships, under Rear Admiral Evans,
looking clean and trim and powerful
in the tropical sun, came to anchor
in this port. The booming of salutes
announced the arrival of the fleet, but
there was no need to send out signals
for every resident of Callao and great
crowds from Lima, that stands back
on the hills, had awaited with ex-
pectancy the first glimpse Of the ad-
vancing column.
The only regrettable feature Of the
entertainments arranged in honor of
the visitors is the fact that the com
mander himself, Rear Admiral Evans,
will not be able to attend. 1t was stat
ed that Admiral Evans. who has been
suffering almost from the beginning
of the voyage from rheumatism, was
slightly better, but as yet he does not
feel that he should risk the danger of
coming ashore. Rear Admiral Charles
NJ. Thomas, commander of the second
squadron, will represent him at the
official ceremonies attendant upon the
visit. but Rear Admiral Evans is still
the commander of the fleet.

Washington, Feb.
trial disputes in pro I
mind of President Roosevelt
wrote a letter to tne intersJ-t
merce commission Tuesday wAi>l vas
made public He says that nf,-ma-
ton has reached him, that on account
of the enactment of drastic laws by the
congress and by various state legisla-
tn es, it is regarded as necessary by
railroad companies to reduce the pay Of
employees.
The president says if the reduction
in wages is due to natural causes the
loss of business being such that the
burden should be, and is, equitably dis
tributed between capitalist and wage
worker the public should know it. If
it is caused by legislation, the public,
and congress, should know it, and if it
is caused by misconduct in the past
financial or other operations of any
railroad, then everybody should know
it, especially if the excuse of unfriendly

covering up past business misconduct
by the railroad managers, or as a justi-
fcation for failure to treat fairly the
wage-earning employees of the COM
pany.
He then points out that. under the
law, either party may demand the SER
vices of the chairman of the interstate
commerce commission and of the COM
missioner of labor as a board of con-
ciliation. He suggested, therefore, that
the interstate commerce commission
make such an investigation as will en-
able it to furnish data concerning wage
| conditions on various railroads as may
relate, directly or indirectly to the pos,
sibly impending controversy.
