BOSCHEE'S SYRUP.

A cold is probably the most com-
mon of all disorders and when neglect
ed is apt to be most dangerous. Sta

ELU1ES TIE POLICE
WOUNDED MAN TELLS STORY
CCRROEORETiNC THAT OF
HIS WIFE.
MOTIVE STILL A MYSTERY
Authorities Are Without a Definite
Clue, But Are Working As
sidiously on the
Case.

New Orleans, lathe remarkable
ease with which wOuld-be murderer
may accomplish his purpose and then
make his escape has been illustrated
in the shooting and wounding of Ma
jor Harold S. .Hetrick, West Point
graduate, In charge Of the government
river engineers at New Orleans, at
his residence, 2O26 Robert street
Major Hetrick with two terrible
wounds in his head-the vitality he
is displaying astounding his physi-
clans 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 merry all of his time in an
effort 10 solve New Orleans latest
tragedy
The police are looking for the man
who. revolver in hand. forced his way
past Mrs. Grey, after rin-iug the
front doorbeI OF the IIatrick resi-
douce, and attacked Major Heuicb,
who rushed to the front of the house
upon hearing his mother-in-law 5
screams.
There is a tradition among gradu-
ates of the United States Military
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.
de 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 it 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, nickel
plated one, called by the police $
\ silver pistol" was lying under tn
majors body.

Must Face Issue Says Bryan.

WashingtOn.-William ]. Bryan split
openly with President Wilson at the
Jackson Day dinner Thursday night,
on the question of whether the demo-
cratic party should make the league
of nations an issue at the next cleo
ton. He declared the democrats could
not go before the country on the issue
and that they must accept such COM
promises as may be possible
Our plan has been rejected and
we must face the situation as it is.
We must either secure such compro-
misses as may be possible or present
the issue to the country. The latter
course would mean a delay of at least
fourteen months and then success only
in case of our securing a two-thirds
majority of the senate.
I'VE can not afford, either as citi-
zens or as members of the party, to
share with the republican party re-
sponsibility for further delay; we can
not go before the country on the issue
