STEVENS DEATH
IS. RULED SUICIDE.
Member of Once Powerful
Hotel Family Worried
by Indictment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FreSS.
CHICAGO, March pa son OF
Raymond w. Stevens told coroners
jury today how the 58-year-old nsur.
ance company president talked OF
suicide and worried constantly Tor
weeks before he killed himself.
Father was terribly distressed over
financial affairs" the son. Raymond w..
ir., testified. He had gun at hand
constantly, keeping it in bureau or
under his pillow.
"Sometimes he talked of suicide, but
he mentioned it occasionally for 10
years, and we never took him seriously"
During the inquest word came from
the bedside of 80-year-old James w.
Stevens, father of Raymond w., tnat
the aged man was sinking. He suffered
an attack of apoplexy week ago. Woro
of the sons suicide was kept from the
sick room.
Deliberations Brief.
The coroner's jury returned verdict
of suicide after celebrating only few
minutes.
Both Raymond w. and James w.
had been indicted some time ago with
another son and brother, Ernest j.
Stevens, on charges OF embezzlement
in connection with the failure OF the
Sl5O,OOO,0OO Illinois Life Insurance Co.,
of which they were former officials.
The death of Raymond occurred late
Yesterday in the sun room OF ms prlcK
Colonial mansion in suburban Hlghlano
Park. AS told to police by the son,
shot was heard as he and his mother
and his sister, Mrs. Webster Neeland
Stafford, were leaving the house.
Rushing back he said they found
his father unconscious in an easy chair
There was a bullet wound in his head
behind the right ear. On the floor
lay .38-caliber revolver and on
nearby table was an encyclopedia open
at a chapter on birds. That was all
no notes-no last word.
Stevens died less than an hour later
on the operating table OF hospital.
He did not regain consciousness.
The rise of the Stevens family began
40 years ago, at the time OF the last
Worlds Fair few years after they had
come to Chicago from Colchester, III.
They sprang from the rank OF smaii
merchants to control of the Illinois Life
Insurance Co. and two Of Chicagos
largest hotels, the La Sale and the
Stevens.
Founded Insurance Firm.
James w. Stevens founded the 1nsur-
hnce company and became chairman Of
the board. Raymond w. was the presi-
dent and Ernest J. was president OF the
hotels
Then six years ago they built the
Stevens Hotel-one Of the worlds
largest-and then began the decline.
The hotel, with its overhead operating
expense of s50,0O0 daily, became a
financial white elephant"
Finally, last December, both it and
the La Sale Hotel went into receiver
ship. followed shortly by similar action
of the insurance company, which had
20 900 policy holders en- its books.
From that time events progressed
rapidly, resulting in grand jury in
vestigation and the indictments charg-
Ing the three men with embezZlement
of 81 200 900 of the insurance company's
funds for use of their hotels.

which scientists hope the great tele-

will be used in testing the larger one

The 200-inch reflector will be cast
shortly afteTward," he added. Because
Of their size, which would prevent their
passing through tunnels, and their
weight, both will be shipped here by
boat through the Panama Canal. The
120-inch reflector will weigh about six
