In the printed report the managers

Killing Mrs. Pulitzer.

NEW YORK, Feb 4-The trial of
William Hooper Young for the murder
Of Mrs. Anna Pulitzer began before
Judge Herrick today, after the justice

was i'll.
The judge finally ordered the accused
man brought into court. When he ap-
peared Young was in a >rftiable condi-
ton. His face was ashen white, his
hair and beard long and unkempt and his
eyes rolling. He collapsed when placed

The physicians examined young dur

lined here, which in effect, it is said,
gives them six years priority. There
is reason to believe that France has
expressed disapproval of the plan. One
of the chief grounds for this disap-
proval is that six years priority is re-
garded virtually as being a new triple
alliance between Great Britain, Ger
many and Italy, toward South Ameri-
can affairs for six years. For such a
long g-continued cooperation for three
European powers in South America is
considered here as introducing a broad
political factor, more important than
the final amounts involved.
A leading official of the foreign Office
said that it was desired to see the
triple alliance against Venezuela ter
minated as soon as possible. The
French position favors a settlement
which will not only cover the money
payments, but which will also secure
the dissolution of the present Anglo
German Italian alliance.
