MAJORS ASSA|LANT
ELUDES THE POLICE
WOUNDED MAN TELLS STORY
CORROBORATlNG THAT OF
HIS WIFE.
MOTIVE STILL A MYSTERY
Authorities Are Without Definite
Clue, But Are Working As
sidiousIy on the
Case.

New Orleans, lathe remarkable
ease with which a would-be murderer
may accomplish his purpose and Their
make his escape has been illustrated
in the shooting and wounding Of Ma
tor Harold s. .Hetrick, West Point
graduate, in charge of the government
river engineers at New Orleans, al
his residence, 2026 Robert street.
Major Hetrick, with two terrible
wounds in his head-the vitality he
is displaying astounding his physi
cians-in faint mods and almost in
coherent words, from his cot in
Charity Hospital, told practically the
same story of the shooting as that
related by his wife and her mother
Mrs. Jennie Grey.
Police Superintendent Mooney has
spent nearly all of his time in an
effort to solve New Orleans latest
tragedy.
The police are looking for the man
who, revolver in hand forced his way
past Mrs. Grey, after ringing the
front doorbell of the Hetrick resi-
dence, and attacked Major Hetrick,
who rushed to the front of the house
upon hearing his mother-in-law' s
screams
There is a tradition among gradu-
Academy that West Pointers have no
regard for personal safety. Major
Hetrick lived up to this tradition. AS
he rushed into the reception hall he
saw a man with a revolver in his
hand. The intruder fired at him and
wounded the major in the head.
The officer, despite his wound,
leaped forward. The intruder fired
again, and the second time the major
as wounded In the head. This never
stopped him.
Courageous and determined, he
closed in on the man with the smok-
ns weapon and grappled with him.
He forced him down-the intruder
could not shoot, but his murderous
instinct made him turn his pistol to
a club, and with the butt of it he
hammered upon Major Hetrick's head
until the officer sank into uncon-
seriousness upon the floor.
But the soldier never quit fighting
for the gun, and apparently in mo-
ment Of flashing consciousness, final
ly wrested 1t from his assailant, for,
when the ambulance surgeons lifted
the major from the floor of the recep-
ton hall to remove him to the hos
pital, the intruder's pistol, a nickel
plated one, called by the police "a
silver pistol" was lying under the
majors body.

LEAGUE COUNCIL HAS
FIRST MEET IN PARIS
Task of Presiding Should
Have Fallen to Wilson De-
cIares Presiding Officer.

Paris.-The council of the league OF
nations received the first formal pro
! test to be presented to it almost be
| fore it came into being with Friday
! initial sessions. The protest was from
''the ENJOYS of the elected government
| of the Irish republic" against "the un
real English simulacra of an interna
tional league of peace"
Representatives of France, Great
Britain Italy, Greece, Belgium, Spain,
Japan and Brazil, members of the
council of the league of nations met
in the cloak room" of the French for
eign office at 10 o'clock Friday morn
ing for the first meeting in the history
Of the league.
The council organized at 1880
o'clock by electing Leou Bourgeois
chairman and confirming the choice
of Sir Eric Drummond of Great Brit
ain as general secretary.
The first official act Of the council
was the appointment Of commission
to trace upon the spot the frontiers of
the territory Of the Saar Basin.
Leon Bourgeois, French representa-
tive, who presided said: THE task
of presiding at this meeting and in
augurating this great international in
stitution should have fallen to Presi-
dent Wilson. We respect the reasons
which still delay final decision by our
friends in Washington, but express the
hope that their difficulties will soon
be overcome and that representa-
tive of the great American republic
will occupy the place awaiting him
among us. The work of the council
will then assume definite character
and will have that particular force
which should be associated without
our work.
January 16, 1920, will go down in
history as the date of the birth of
new world. Decisions to be reached
today will be in the name of all ma
lions adhering to the covenant of the
league. 1t will be the first decree Of
all free nations leaguing themselves
together for the first time in the
world to substitute right for might.
But the organization of the league Of
nations will not be complete until the
assembly of all states meets"
Earl Curzon, British secretary of
state for foreign affairs and that ma
TONS representative on the council of
the league, said:
ION behalf of the British Empire
desire to express the loyalty of my
government and the external domin-
ions of the British crown to the spirit
underlying the covenant of the league
of nations. 1t Is our intention by
every means in our power to insure it's
practical efficiency. 1t is our firm
belief that through its instrumental
ity alone we can hope to insure that
such miseries as the world has exper-
fenced during the past five years shall
not be repeated, and that a new era
of international relationship shall!
dawn"
M. Bourgeois proposed London as
the place for the next meeting of the
council, and this was approved Lord
Curzon suggested leaving the date and
order of business open to be decided
by the chairman and the secretary,
since, he said, lit will be necessary to
consult the United States on a great
many questions likely to arise"
