Officer Kendall, who heard the shot, started up the stairway, but had gone only half way when Fred Shav- er got him. He died an hour and a half later.

Shaver frequently appeared before the window with his rifle, holding the officers at bay. He calmly surveyed the crowd which had. gathered and at times talked to friends who urged him to_give himself up. Finally he threw down a note, which read in part: What Drink Leads To. “This is a proposition that I have contemplated ever since I have been drinking; they don’t give me anything and curse my drinking; that is what drink leads to. “I tried to spare my father, but he grappled with me and under the im- pulse of the moment I got him.” Policeman Shot Him Dead An hour after killing his father he threatened to fire into the crowd. The officers then decided to take no further chances and two of them, armed with rifles, stationed themselves in the win- dow of a hotel ocrass the street. The next time Shaver appeared, the po- licemen shot him dead. ‘When the barricaded door was brok- en down, young Shaver lay in the center of the room. Near the window lay the body of his stepmother. The officers had not known until they en- tered the room that Mrs. Shaver had been shot. .

N. Olney, Division Superintendent of De- partment of Justice, Believes Stahl, Although a German Reservist, Was Actuated by a Desire to Raise Money Rather Than by Patriotic Zeal. New York, June 13—Gustav Stahl, who swore that he had seen four guns aboard the Lusitania just before she sailed, was indicted on a charge of perjury by the federal grand jury this afternoon. The indictment was hand- ed to Judge Russell, sitting in the criminal branch of the United States district court. Stahl, on a preliminary complaint, has been in the Tombs in default of $10,000 bail. The indictment explains that on June 10 there was pending before the grand jury a proceeding against Paul Koenig, also known as Stemler, and others, on a charge of having conspired to de- fraud the United States in violation of section 37 of the United States crim- inal code. Sta¥il was called as a wit- ness, What the Indictment Charges. tahl testified, the indictment charges, in substance, that on April 30 he had gone aboard the Lusitania with one Leach, and that while on the vessel he had seen four guns on one of the decks of the steamship, two for- ward and two aft. All he said, were mounted on wooden blocks and cov- ered with leather. The indictment further charges that at the time of so swearing Stahl did not_believe it to be true that he had been on board the Lusitania and had seen the four guns. In conclusion, the indictment states that the guns were not on the ship therefore, that Stahl “did wilfull knowingl and feloniously, and con- trary to his oath, depose and state ma-, terial matters which were not true! and thereby did commit wilful andl corrupt perjury against the peace of| the United States and theid dignity and contrary to the form of the statute| of the United States in such case made| and provided.” Committed to the Tombs. When he left the grand jury room after swearing that he had seen the guns. Stahl was arrested on a pre- liminary complaint made by Raymond| H, -Sarfaty, assistant United States! district attorney, charging perjury.| Pending examination on the complaint, he was committed to the Tombs in default of $10,000 bail. While he was locked up, the grand jury, in con- tinuing the inquiry against Koenig, procured the evidence upon which they returned the perjury indictment against Stahl. Object Was Not Patriotic, William_ M. Offiey, division superinw tendent of the local office of the de- partment of justice, says he does not think Stahl, although a’ German re- servist, was actuated by patriotic zeal in swearing that the Lusitania wag armed, but that his sole object in mak- ing the afdavit which reached Pres- ident Wilson, through Ambassador Bernstorff, was to raise money ‘“sa that he could have a good time and live without working.” PRESIDENT CALLS AT HOME OF FORMER SEC'Y BRYAN To Bid Goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Before They Depart for the South.

With Three Men, Two of Whom Died as a Result. Quincy, Mass., June 18.—An aero- plane plunged to earth with three men today, two of them dying as a result. George Hersey, Jr. of this ¢ a mechanician, was killed instantly. Wil- liam D. Ely of Providence, R. I, who was receiving instruction in flight from Harry M. Jones, the operator of the machine, sustained injuries from which he died on the way to the hospital. Jones probably escaped serious injury by falling on the bodies of the othesr. The machine, a biplane, had ascend- ed from the i Planing at a height of 100 feet, it was moving gracefully with its three pas- sengers when persoms below saw it quiver. Jones worked frantically with his control, but the machine dropped to earth on the estate of Lotta Crabtree, the former actress. Observers expressed the belief that one of the passengers interfered with Jones' operation of the biplane for a moment, causing it to become un- steady. William Ely, Jr., was 19 years of age and had_just completed his freshman vear at Brown umiversity. He was the only son of Capt. 'William D. Ely of Providence, R. I He had been inter- ested in aeroplanes for several years and_had made numerous flights both in this country and at Hendon, Eng- land, where he spent several weeks in 1912 Harry M.

CRUISER NORTH CAROLINA ARRIVES AT BOSTON Officers and Men Bring Accounts of Fighting in the Dardanelles. Boston, June 18—The cruiser North Carolina today returned to home wa- ters after ten months of varied foreign' service, bringing accounts of the fight- ing in the Dardanelles. Officers and man said that the British and French: forces had sustained heavy losses and that the hospitals at Alexandria were filled to overflowing with wounded, Some of the wounded, they said, fold them that the Australian troops had suffered especially in attempts to land under the Turkish fire and that in one' instance a British war vessel fired on the men and killed many as they strugsled up the heights on the south- ern shore, in the belief that they were enemy forces. The Australians’ first attempt to ef- fect a landing was made from the southern side at dawn when men in small boats, met a terrific fire from the Turlkiish batteries and trenches close to the shore. One-third of the boats were sunk and scores were: drowned, among them most of the offi- cers, it was said. Pressing forward dauntlessly, the re- mainder of the party landed and were ordered to entrench in the first line of the enemy defenses. But the men were demoralized by the loss of their of- ficers and although they captured the first line of trenches, rushed blindly on to other lies and met disaster, The Turks under command of Ger- man officers, make good soldiers, in the opinion of the Australians, who said they had demonstrated ability; to stand up under terrific machine gun’ fire, weakening only at the point of steel. British_and American sailors were not on friendly terms at Alexandri: according to the North Carolina’s crew. Taunts by British tars that the United States was “afraid to fight” resulted in several street encounters and much hard feeling was shown, The North Carolina went to Europe carrying gold to the Americans strand- ed there by the war and remained to do other service. Hundreds of starv- ing persons were found at Beirut and taken by the cruiser to Havre. NEW WAGE SCALE FOR RHODE ISLAND CARMEN. To Be Considered at Conference of Representatives of Company and Union.
