DEATH At END Of
PRIMROSE PATH
Sensational Suicide
of Young Partisan
at Monte Carlo
AFTER ALL NIGHT REVEl
Gay Bouleyardier Finds Life

erable.

Paris, March 13.-Fernand Ravenez
wealthy young Partisan, committed
suicide at Monte Carlo last night un
der sensational circumstances. The
young man gave supper to a number
Of friends at which pleasure was fast
and furious. Several times during
the evening Ravenez cried, "This is
nothing. big surprise is awaiting
you at the end At dawn. when the
party was separating, Ravenez
shouted: "Now for the great sur
prise" At the same time he arose
abruptly and walked towards the
Gypsy Orchestra, which was playing
the Hungarian Rhapsody. Friends eX'
pecting practical joke, watched him
expectantly. They were stupefed to
see him suddenly place his pistol to
his temple and fire. He fell dead.
The only reason for the act is de-
scribed as "sheer boredom"
Ravenez was only twenty years old
and a familiar figure on the Paris
Boulevards where his liking for vivid
clothing attracted attention. Three
years ago, Ravenez figured in SEN
sational duel with professional
swordsman. 1t was of the fiercest
character and ended by Ravenez
plunging his sword eight inches into
his adversary's body.

NO TIME TO
SHOOT AT SPARROWS
Closing Argument by Prosecution in
Cooper-Sharp Trial at NASH
Vile, Tennessee.

Nashville, Tenn, March 13.--Judge
Hart announced today that he could
not complete his charge to the jury in
The Cooper-Sharp trial before Monday
afternoon This delay is due to the
failure of the attorneys on both sides
TO submit instructions. There will be
consequently no verdict before Mon
day night or Tuesday. Judge Ander-
son resumed his argument with the
promise not to weary the jury long.
He rapidly sketched the main points
in evidence, declared the defense had
been handicapped by the failure Of
the state to offer any theory for the
killing, but said that one fact that
could not be controverted was that
Carmack drew his revolver and fired
first, and it could not be disputed that
Robin Cooper fired only when he had
to. Attorney General McCarn began
the closing argument as soon as An
derson concluded. Referring to the
attack on him by General Washington,
attorney for the defense. he said he
had no time to "shoot at sparrows." +"
AS to the charge that the state lacked
theory he asked the jury, if their
dads ever asked for theory when
they went to lick them. "No. he just
decided from the proof that you were
guilty and lit into you; that's what
we are doing. we have no theory, gen
tlemen, we have just proof
McCarn continued: ''They prate of
blue blood and ancestry, these de-
PENDANTS. 1t always amuses me the
way these fellows with blue blood and
ancestors always think those ances-
tors will help them when they are
brought face to face with the law.
Now a man with blue blood and an
cestors owes something to this blue
blood and these ancestors, and he
should think it over before he goes
out to slay." McCarn assailed the
defense for trying to make the case a
political issue. He denounced Wash
ington for assailing Carmack's name
and declared it must have taken big
fee to talk about the murdered man
that way.

MURDERED By THE
BLACK HAND
Chief of the Italian
Police Squad in
New York
SHOT DOWN N PALERMO
Had Obtained More Convic
tions for Murder Then
Any Five Policemen.

New York, March ia special
cable to the Herald from Palermo
Sicily, says: Lieutenant Joseph
| Petrosino of the New York police de.
partment was shot down and killed
| early this evening near his hotel
The assassins are unknown.
He had come here on an important
mission which had for its object the
: protection of the peaceful Italians of
America. Petrosino was at the head
of what is known as the Italian squad
of the New York police department.
He was the "Black Hand" expert of
that department and terror to Grim
inals. It is said he had more convic-
tions for murder to his credit than
any five policemen connected with the
Detective Bureau. It is but natural
that he incurred the enmity of all
Italian criminals and it Is believed
that he at last fell victim to these
whom he had so relentlessly pursued.
He went to Italy more than a year
ago to work on a plan to check the
tide of immigration of Italian crimin-
ais to this country.
The murder Of Petrosino is believed
to be the result of plot that had it's
inception in the United States and
that the persons indirectly respons-
ible for his death are still within
reach of the American police. With
this conviction the police of this city
will, from now on, wage a relentless
warfare against the "Black Hand So
cieties and it is hoped that they will
be poined by the police of other cities.
When the official news of the as
sassination of Petrosino was received
here today by Chief of electives Nc
Cafferty, he Immediately sent tele'
grams to the chiefs of police in all
the large cities of the country asking
for a roundup of every "black hand
suspect in their vicinity. -.
Deputy Commissioner Woods issued
a statement in which he said "lt
would be hard to overstate the value
Of Petrosinos work. Besides being
skilled detective, he was an honest,
reliable man and had the full respect
of every one. His devotion to duty
and his utter disregard of personal
consequences always have been char
acteristic of him. 1t is hoped that the
assassination of this faithful servant
of New York City may bring home to
the people some idea of the serious
ness of the "Black Hand situation.
Although the number of "Black Hand"
crimes has been decreased about fifty
per cent the last few months, it is
impossible to make any radical move
against the outlaws until the police
department can have the use of the
secret service fund provided by the
city and until Congress will pass i'm
migration laws which will keep Grim
inals out and make it possible to put
out any that may slip in"

MONEY WAS
NEVER DRAWN
Governor CurryRe-
flutes Malicious
Lies Of Enemies
UNsELFlsH EFFORTS
Chief Executive Has Given
Time and Means Freely for
the Peoples Cause.

Governor Curry, in an interview to-
day took occasion to vigorously deny
those statements appearing not only
in eastern papers, but also in Ger.
tain local paper, made with the in
tent to disparage the work of the
Governor and the special committee
which recently went to Washington to
work for statehood and other projects
pending before Congress of interest
to the people of the territory. These
papers referred to have stated that
President Roosevelt ordered or sug-
.gested the return of the $3,50O appro
priated by the legislature to pay the
expenses of this special delegation.
Governor Curry brands these state
ments as absolutely false. He says
that no order or suggestion was ever
made by President Roosevelt, or by
him, Governor Curry, to the commit
tee relative to the return of this
money. AS matter of fact the
money appropriated was never
drawn, except about $500 which will
be returned as soon as the secretary
of the committee gets here.
Governor Curry says the first sug-
-gestion with regard to the special
committee serving without compensa-
tion came from Hon. George s.
Klock, of Albuquerque, one of the
members Of the committee, and sew
eral other members Immediately
Joined with him In saying. that they
preferred to serve without compensa-
ton. At their request, Governor
Curry returned the money to the ter
ritorial treasurer, and the president,
so far as Governor Curry knows, never
knew ANYTHING about the matter un-
til Governor Curry himself mentioned
it to the chief executive, as he was
leaving Washington. When told Of it,
the president saw nothing improper
about it, but thought it very gen
erous act for the committee to do.
In this connection it might be well
to mention the fact that Governor
Curry and several citizens OF the ter
ritory have at various times gone to
Washington in the interest of state
hood and other matters vitally AFFECT
ing the interests of the people Of New
Mexico making these trips at thelr
own personal expense, and as far as
Governor Curry is concerned he mas
not only spent his contingent expense
money on these trips, but a thousand
dollars of his own money, besides, IN
the interest of statehood and other
matters in which the citizens OF the
territory are Interested. Notwltn-
standing the ISLANDERS and falsehoods
to the contrary, Governor Curry ane
other patriotic citizens of New Mexlco
will continue the fight for statehoou
until victory shall crown their un-
serfish efforts.
