FLEET HAS GOOD INFLUENCE
ADMIRAL CHADWICK THUS IN
FORMS NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Tangier in Great Religious Excite
ment Due to Annual Moham-
medan Pilgrimages.

Washington, June 6.-Admiral Chad
wick Saturday cabled to the navy de-
partment that the presence of the Amer
lean fleet at Tangier has had salutary
influence, but that the community is
in a state of great religious excitement.
The cablegram also reported that the
Marietta, which was sent to Gibraltar for
stores, has rejoined the feet at Tan
gier; that an Italian man-of-war had ar
rived, and that an English warship was
expected to arrive at the Morocco port.
Admiral Chadwick's cablegram is un-
derstood to be in reply to certain criti-
cisms, mainly from British sources, upon
the wisdom of sending American war
ships to Morocco at this juncture. The
British view is that the release of the
kidnapped men, Perdicaris and Varley,
can be more safely obtained by refrain
ing from adding to the anti-foreign feeling
of the Moors, and that the government
therefore has so far sent to Moorish wa
tiers nothing more formidable in a naval
way than a small dispatch boat, the Sur
prise, and is relying entirely upon the
efforts of the British minister resi-
dent.
The religious excitement mentioned
as prevailing among the Moors is be-
lieved here to be incident primarily to
one of the annual Mohammedan pill
grimages occurring at this season. I'm
doubtedly, however, the presence of the
seven American warships at Tangier,
with promise of reinforcement, if
necessary, by the big battleship squad
ron, is regarded as threatening Moorish
integrity and the Mohammedan reli-
gion. and has contributed to the excite
ment.

MYSTERY IN Death
OF A B00KMAKER
CAESAR" YOUNG EXPIRES IN
CAB AT NEW YORK FROM
BULLET WOUND.
YOUNG WOMAN WITH
HIM AT THE TIME
Latter Declares he Committed Suicide,
But Police Are Doubtful and She
Is Held Under $4,000 Bail as
Witness.

New York, June Crank T..
Young, known on the turf as 'Cae-
sar" Young, bookmaker, horse owner
and stakeholder in Pacific coast race
tracks, was found dying from bullet
wound in a hanson cab Saturday
while on his way to the White Star
line pier to join his wife, with whom
he was to have sailed for Europe.
Mrs. Young was waiting at the pier
when news of her husbands death
reached her. At first the death was
reported as suicide, but various cir
cumstances caused the police later to
change their views. With Young in
the cab when policeman was called
was Mrs. Nan Patterson, formerly an
Randolph" who is said to nave been
a member of the original Floradora
sextette. She told the policeman that
Young had shot himself after an
nouncing to her that he was about to
go to Europe, to be gone probably for
several months. The policeman told
the coroner, however, that the revolve:
was in the mans pocket and that he
did not believe Young could have put
it there after shooting himself.
Young died about five minutes after
the policeman first saw him. The
woman was taken to police station,
where she collapsed. Young's part
ner, man named Millin, said Young
never carried a revolver, and that he
did not believe the death was due to
4 self-inflicted wound.
The woman was taken to Coroner
Browns private Office, and made state
ment, saying she was niece of the cash
Ter of leading New York bank. Con-
tinuing, Mrs Patterson said she heard
muff1ed report directly Young had told
her he was going to leave her. She said
she did not see any pistol. She said
she believed he shot himself with the
pistol in his coat pocket.
The bail in which Mrs. Patterson was
held was at first fixed at 81 900, she be-
ing held as witness, but this was later
increased to $1,000 by the coroner, on
the request of the police officials.
Millin, the partner of Young, insisted on
being connected with the case, and was
held in 81 900 bail as witness, which he
| furnished at once.
Young was an Englishman by birth
He was brought to this country in 1890
~ the old Manhattan club, as repre-
| sentative amateur athlete Of England
Young, several years ago, purchased
race horses, one of them being Eenic
which won the Burns handicap, one oil
the big stake races in California. Mrs
| Young, then bride, trained the horses
and nearly $4,000 was won by them
on the race. Young brought string
of horses east with him, when he came
| here about month ago. The most noted
| of them are Cunard and Watercure. He
was said to be worth more than half q
million dollars.
