By the Associated Press. PASAT . Calif., Francis evens, prominent Pasa- dena banker, vesterday shot and killed his two sons, George, 13, and Francis, 20, and then ended his own life at a ganitarium in Lamanda Park, a suburb. Stevens, who was vice president of the First tional Bank and F Trust and Savings Bank of Pasaden. killed the younger son outright, police gaid, and wounded the other so badly that he died an hour later in a hos- pital. Stevens had taken George to the ganitarium, where Francis, who was convalescing from an automohile acci- dent injury, was found playving ten- nis. After a short conversation with the older boy. the father shot him and then killed himself. Nearly an hour Jater police also found the body of the younger son in the automobile. ~No reason for Stevens’ act could be assigned. Both Appeared Cheerful. Hospital employes said when Stevens left his car and approached the older son on the tennis court both appeared in cheerful mood. A little later the two walked to the rear of a building and after a few words Stevens drew a revolver and shot the boy and himself. In the meantime Mrs. Stevens had come to the sanitarium with police fnvestigators. Suddenly recalling that ghe had not seen the younger son since he left with his father for the sanitarium, a search was begun. Police found the body in the auto- mobile in front of the sanitarium. The Stevenses were prominent so- cially. They came here in 1911 from Mont- clair, N. J., where Mr. Stevens was an official of the New York Life In- surance Co. Stevens was born in Columbus, Ind., in 1876, and graduated from the University of Michigan, in which State he was admitted to the bar. December 9.— Left Will at Office. Mrs. Stevens was Elizabeth Lucas, also of Columbus, where they were married in 1905. When the banker went to the sani- tarium he left a bundle in the care of the office of the institution. It was found to contain his will, dated last November 21, and detailing an estate of $131,890. The bundle also contained securities and bonds, a small urn, containing the ashes of his_daughter Sylvia and a note to J. S. MacDonnell, president of the bank, showing .that Stevens’ financial affairs were in excellent con- dition. Life insurance policies amqunt- ing to $50,000 also were included. There was no note to indicate his in- tentions nor to reveal a motive. The names of the two slain boys, a daughter, Carol, 16, and a sister, Mrs. Charles King of Chicago, were found in' the will. Friends said Stevens had brooded for weeks over the condition of Francis, who was injured in an auto- mobile accident last year at Ann Arbor, Mich. Physicians asserted the youth was affected with a mild form of insanity from which he probably would not recover. Stevens was umn- able to believe that theory, his friends said. Sea Sandstorms Reported. That sandstorms have been encoun- tered on the Atlantic west of the Ca- nary Islands has been reported by members of crews. At times a layer of dust was deposited on the decks of the ships. Weather experts say that the dust probably was from the Sa- hara Desert.

By the Associated Press. After considering the protest against the right of Olga Milanoff to remain in the United States, Secretary of La- bor Davis yesterday ordered the rec- ord sent back to Immigration Service inspectors for a reconsideration. Mme. Milanoff's deportation was urgently demanded by the former Mrs. Frank Llovd Wright, divorced wife of a Chicago and New York architect, on the ground that her conduct in the United States has been such as to break up the Wright family. The charges were considered ol nally by inspectors of the immi; tion service'at New York and their re- port was returned to the Labor De- partment several days ago for consid- eration. A warrant ordering Mme. Milanoff to be sent back to her Euro pean home was held up pending the investigation. It was announced yes- terday that the facts brought out by the New York inquiry had not been sufficient to enable the Secretary of Labor to form a final judgment on her eligibility to remain in the United States.
