his father is believed to have led to the shooting. The father, 67 years old and well to do, was married on June 2 to Ruth Campbell, who was thirty years his junior.
 Father and Son QuarreIed.
 When the father returned to his apartments this afternoon he and his son engaged in a quarrel, which cul- minated in the shooting of the elder shaver just as he ran out into the hall. Officer Kendall, who heard the shot, started up the stairway, but had gone only half way when Fred Shaw CT got him. He died an hour and a half later. The killing of Mrs. Shaver must have taken place immediately after the murderer barricaded himself in his room on the second floor.
 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
 Finally he threw down 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 inn 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- Hcemen 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.

CRUISER NORTH CAROLINA
 ARRIVES AT BOSTON
Officers and Men Bring Accounts of
 Fighting in the DardanelIes.

Boston, June 1S.-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 overf1owing with wounded.
 Some of the wounded, they said, told them that the Australian troops had suffered especially in attempts to land under the Turkish fire and that in one instance Q British war vessel fired on the men and killed many as they. struggled up the heights on the south ern shore, in the belief that they were enemy forces.
 The Australians first attempt to eff feet a landing was made from the! southern side at dawn when men in small boats, met a terrific fire from the Turkish batteries and trenches close to the shore. One-third of the boats were sunk and scores were drowned, among them most of the off cers, it was said.
 Pressing forward dauntIessly, 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 lines 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 Alexandria, 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.

 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 wilfully,

<art Of that great mass of Rus ,sians who in the winter campaign in vaded Galicia an dcaptured Pryzemsl and later worked their way to the southwest and battled with the Aus trians through the Carpathian passes until they had reached almost to the plains of Hungary, again are back on Russian soil, according to the latest Austrian official communication. They were victims of the relentless drive that has been in progress since the Germans joined their allies in the Galician campaign.
 Teutons on Russian Territory.
 The town of Tarnogrod, just inside Russian territory, to the north of Sienawa and the heights of Krezow, to the northwest of Tarnogrod. are oc- Cupied by the troops of the Teutonic allies. while to the southeast that sec tor of Galicia lying between the lower San and the Vistula the Russian forces at several points have been compell- ed to retire.

In this re- zion Paris asserts thaat the French troops are holding under their fire the German line of communications be- tween Metzeral and Munster.
