YOUTH CONFESSES MYSTERY STABBING Revenge in Father’s Losses Blamed for Killing Aunt and Wounding Uncle. By the Associated Press. SON JOSE, Calif., July 27.—A strange story of revenge which led a 20-year-old youth to kill his aunt and attempt to slay his uacle, a wealthy Manila im- porter and exporter, to avenge a wrong done his father, was told by San Jose authorities today. The youth, George Douglas Tam- pleton, jr, University of California stu- dent, authorities said, confessed in Oak- 1and, Calif., where he was arrested early today. Calm and apparently without regret, he was brought here to be charged with murder for the knifing early yesterday of Mrs. Lillian Babcock. Meanwhile, William R. Babcock, head of the Philippine delegation to the Olympic games and former business partner of Templeton's father, lay dangerously wounded in a Palo Alto hospital, where a blood transfusion was ordered. Five-Year Litigation. The desire for revenge, the confession related, hinged on the five-year litiga- tion between Babcock and George D. Tampleton, sr., formerly partners in Babcock & Tampleton, Manila import- ing and exporting firm, of which Bab- cock is now president. The death of Babcock and his wife, authorities quoted young Templeton as saying, wopld not only avenge a loss of a “large sum of money” by the boy’s father, but would rehabilitate his finances through inheritance. The story of the planning of the at- tack on the Babcock's as they slept at Los Altos, near here, and the assault of early yesterday morning, as retold by_authorities. follows: Last Sunday young Templeton visited the home of his aunt, Mrs. Walter Buckish, whose husband is commis- sioner of schools of the Philippine Is- lands, where the Babcocks were visit- ing.

He also bought a five-gallon can of kerosene with which he intended to fire the house. He intended the others m_the house would escape. The youth excused himself about midnight from the Oakland lunch room, Buckish home. He found his way to the bed room where the Babcock’s slept only after turning on the lights, and made s much noise he was surprised the house- hold was not awakened. He stabbed his uncle, then struggled to pull down the covers which his aunt had pulled cver her head before attack. ing her. By that time Babcock grappled with him, and the youth dropped the knife and fled. At 4 am., he awakened a friend, A. R.

By the Associated Press. KIEL, Germany, July 27.— A group of buoys signifying tragedy bobbed on the surface of Kiel Bay today over the masted windjammer Niobe, used as a | training vessel, went down In a squall. | The 69 youths were trapped at their desks in the school room between the | decks when the Niobe sank in a twin- kling in 11 fathoms of water. Only 6 of those below decks saved themselves as the barkentine plunged. | Thirty-seven in all were saved, includ- | ing the captain, his lieutenant, 17 of the crew and 18 cadets. They were remfid by the steamer Therese Russ, hich was nearby. Sailed by Von Luckner. The Niobe was a war prize. Origi- nally she was a four-master and was reconditioned for a training ship. For two years she was commanded by Count Felix von Luckner, dubbed ‘“the sea | devil” for his exploits during the war. | The catastrophe is the third of its | kind to overtake the navy. On Novem- | ber 19, 1851, the school ship Amazone sank off Ho'land and 145 were lost. | On December 16, 1900, the Gneisenau | was rammed near Malta with a lcss of 40 drowned. Capt. Mueller of the steamer Therese Russ reported to port authorities today how he rescued the 37 men floundering in the sea after the Niobe keeled over. It was 2:30 pm., and the weather was good,” he said. “The DO-X (Ger- man flying boat) had just passed over us. We made out the sailing vessel off the port side. “After we began signaling I noticed a black cloud squall creeping down on the ship. At the same instant the wind whipped to the strength of ‘nine’ and *he ship turned over. Made Dash for Scene. “We put around and raced for the scene. During the dash to the spot, I ordered all hands to prepare the life boats for launching and as soon as we got there all the crew save the cook and myself were over the side in boats to ald | “At the same time boats were called | from Fehrman light ship nearby. I| can't say how long it was from the time of the catastrophe until our ar- rival, but it wasn’'t long. All the Niobe's officers were lost except the captain and the first mate. “Our boats kept plying back and forth, picking up men from the water. ESome of them had had to swim for an hour before we got them. Only 6 of the group that was attending class survived. They had been studying the theory of navigation.” ‘The appalling loss of life was added Open All Day on Saturday | We’ve Given Haberdashery and Hat Prices An Awful Wallop!
