shot BY STEN0CRAPHER
ALBANY BUSINESS NAN KILLED
IN HIS OFFICE.

Miss Julia Craver Who IS Under Arrest
Claims That the Shooting Was Acct
dentaI-POinted the Revolver at Her
Employer in Spirit of Fun-Did Not
Know 1T Was Loaded-ProEtrated
with Gries.
Albany, N. Y, May Franklin Ha-
vens, secretary of the Albany board of
fire insurance underwriters, was shot by
Miss Julia Craver, clerk in his en-
ploy, late this afternoon in his Office.
and died soon after IL o'clock tonight
in the Albany hospital. Miss Craver,
who is under arrest, claims that the
shooting was accidental and the police
say that they found no evidence to
cast doubt upon her story. Havens was
unconscious, and therefore unable to
make any statement. Miss Craver, who
is almost Frustrated over the affair, is
confined tonight in the house of de-
tention of the local humane society.
She claims that she pointed the pistol,
which was the property of Havens, and
which has been in a pigeon hole In
cabinet in Havens' office for a long
time, at him in spirit of fun, as he
was entering the room in which she
stood commanding him to throw up
his hands. He had told her, she as
serts that the weapon was not loaded,
and she declares that she pulled the
trigger three times before the weapon
exploded. An examination of the pistol
confirms this statement. 1t contained
six cartridges and two of them in addi-
tion to the one discharged had indenta~
tions of the hammer.
The bullet entered Havens' right tenn
pie and penstrated the brain.
Mr.. Havens was thirty-five years oil,
came of a well known family, was mar
ried and the father of two children.
Miss Carver, who is twenty two, is also
well connected and bears an enviable
reputation. She has been employed in
Havens' office for more than year.

WILL suPpoRr FRENCH POLICY
England to stand Firmly by Morocco
. Agreement.


Paris. May 1.-The British minister to
Morocco, Gerard A. Lowther, in the
course of an interview with the Temps
correspondent at Tangier to-day made
the first official declaration that the
purpose of his visit to Fez is to support
French policy in Morocco. He said:
''When l first arrived at Tangier, l
did not expect to present my creden-
| tials to the Sultan before autumn. but
under the present conditions l start for
Fez in three weeks. My mission will
not be merely to draw upa protocol 1t
will embrace also the questions under
that clause of the Franco-British ac-
cord, in which the two governments
mutually engage to lend their diplo-
matte support to the execution of that
convention. My government is all the
more dasirous to fulfill this duty since
the French proposition submitted to the
sultan of Morocco strictly conforms to
the spirit Of the accord of April 8,
threatening the interest of no third
power, guaranteeing the security of Mo-
rocco, and providing for the gradual de-
| velopment of the country without sud-
| den transition
/ Mr.. LoWther's statement controyerts
the view of the German official press
that he goes to Fez merely to present
| his credentials, and is in line with the
understanding of the officials here con-
/ cerning the purposes of his visit. There
I fore, they say. the French mission at
Fez is not likely to press its negotia,
tions until Mr. Lowther arrives, when
united influences will be brought to
bear.

vigorous Opposition to Lense of Gas
Works to U. G. I. Co.

Works TO u. G. I. Co.
Philadelphia, April 1.-opposition to
+ the leasing by the city of Philadelphia
of its gas works to the United Gas I'M
provement Co. for term Of seventy
| five years for the total sum Of $4,000 600
| is rapidly taking definite shape. Mass
meetings will be held in several wards
| tomorrow night, and on Wednesday
night one will be held at the Academy
of Music. Slgners Of the call for
Wednesdays meeting met to-day and
announced that they favored the adop-
Ition Of resolution to have factory
whistles blown and church bells rung
for one hour prior to the meeting OF
the councils on Thursday afternoons
| when the proposed new lease comes up
for final action. 1t was also proposed
| by the signers to have citizens suspend
work Thursday afternoon and march to
city hall and make demonstration in
opposition of the lease. 1t was decided
/ to invite Mayor Weaver to Wednesday
nights meeting.
John C. Winston, chairman of the
committee of seventy, a municipal re-
form organization, issued a statement
tonight to the effect that a syndicate
formed for the purpose of making a
competitive bid had $1O,000.00O already
pledged. He also stated that he had
been assured that the syndicate would
be ready to present a competitive bid
] on Thursday.
One of the developments of the day
was the sudden home coming Of Mayor
Weaver from pleasure trip through
the west He refused to commit him
self as to his attitude on the lease.
One Significant statement made by the
mayor was to the effect. that the city
j was not in need of money and that the
municipalities borrowing capacity
amounts to s15,OO0,oOO or SIG, ,OOO,0 ,0OO This
statement is important in view of the
assertions made by the leaders Of city
councils, who claim that the city is in
| pressing need Of funds to carry on i'm
provements, and that the only way te
get it is to lease the gas works for a
long term of years on condition that the
lessee pay to the city within two years
the total amount of money agreed upon
for the use Of the gas works.

NO COMPROMISE VERDICT
FINAL PLEA IN BEHALF OF NAN
PATTERSON

Her Counsel Declares the Case One OF
Deliberate Murder or Suicide-No
Manslaughter About It-state to
Make Its Closing Argument To-day
Case VIII Probably Go to the Jury
This Afternoon.
New York, May 1.-"This case is one
of deliberate murder or suicide. There
can be no manslaughter about it. There
should be no compromise verdict. She
is either guilty of murder in the first
degree or not at all.
With these significant words Abra-
ham Levy, counsel for Nan Patterson,
brought to close this afternoon his
five-hour argument in defense of the
former chorus girl charged with the
murder of Caesar Young.
During the long argument Miss Pat
terson faced the jury unfiinchingly and
watched every movement of the men
who are to determine her fate.
The court room was crowded through
out the day, most of the attendants
being women who struggled to get a
look at the defendant. At one time
during the afternoon the judge was
compelled to step Mr.. Levy while court
officers expelled from the room some
women who persisted In discussing the
case in audible tones to the annoyance
Of all present.
Mr.. Levy reviewed all the testimony
in detail and declared not a word had
been introduced which showed any pur-
pose on the part of Miss Patterson or
her brother in-law and sister, Mr.. and
Mrs. u Morgan Smith, to threaten the
life OF Caesar Young.
The suicide theory was strongly em-
phasized by Mr.. Levy, who contended
that the powder stains on Young's fng-
ers proved he had shot himself. Mr..
Levy secuted the idea that a girl would
be. able to make such an assault on a
trained athlete like Young. He also
ridiculed the idea that Miss Patterson
should have chosen crowded public
street as a place for murder, when she
had 50 many opportunities to attack
Young where there would have been
little danger of detect i.
Assistant District Attorney Rand will
close for the people tomorrow and it is
probable the case will go to the jury to-
morrow afternoon.
