NEW YORK, Sept. 9. One of the most spectacular drug raids New York has known ended today with the mysterious suicide of the chief raider. Frank J. Fitzpatrick. head narcotic Investigator, led 13 agents in a gal lant charge up the gangplank of the Oreek steamer King Alexander and engaged in a hand-to-hand fight, in which volleys of shots were fired, five seamen wounded, $100,000 worth of drugs and whisky seized and nearly 325 men aboard the vessel rounded up for examination. The raid over, Fitzpatrick stepped Into a washroom on the Brooklyn pier. Two shots rang out. Fitzpatrick was found dead, both bullets in his heart. The suicide completely mystified the raiding party. Their only theory was that their chief, who, they said, had been worrying over his health, suddenly had become demented in the excitement of the fight. Officer Found Dead. To obtain evidence, the prohibition agents said two of them arranged on Wednesday with members of the crew to pay $14,000 on the vessel to day for the liquor and drugs. These two went on the vessel alone. Mean while a member of the crew noticed a launch with the other agents ap proaching. He warned his comrades and the battle bzgan. The raid was under the direction of Ernest L. Langley, chief federal enforcement agent in New York. The agents searched the vessel thorough ly, the crew fleeing before them be low decks. There were intermittent pistol shots from both crew and agents as the search progressed and when the battle subsided th-?e of the vounded men were- found lying in thtir bunks. ' Mental Derangement Blamed. Mr. Langley said that $300 had Juit been paid by one of th advance agents and part of the contraband articles delivered when the crew's suspicions were aroused. Other federal agents declared they kniTMO motive for Fitzpatrick's suicide.V. They expressed the belief that the excitement and strain of the raid temporarily deranged him. United States Marshal Flower. 30 deputy marshals and 20 policemen were sent to the King Alexander after the suicide was reported to the au thorities, to arrest all members of the crew on board and take them to the federal building for questioning. Mr. Langley attributed the suicide tn chronic ill health, saying that Fitz Patrick was obsessed with the belief he had tuberculosis. Other federal agents said that Fitzpatrick acted queerly after being struck on the head fighting with the crew of the ship. Far East Republic Wants Voice in Coming Conference. PEKIN, Sept. 9.

PET DEAD INVALID GIRL WILL WAVE XO MORE FROM WINDOW. For Three Years Sufferer From In fantile Paralysis Greets Every Passing Train. ARMENIAN PAYS PENALTY Gallows End Long Legal Battle to Save Nichan Martin's Life. PHOENIX, Ariz.. Sept. 9. Nichan Martin, an Armenian, was hanged in the state penitentiary at Florence to day. The execution ended a. long legal battle in efforts to save his life. Martin was convicted of having mur dered Arthur de Steunder, an ex Canadian soldier, with whom he was touring across the country in an auto mobile, August 4, 1919. Martin's petition for a writ of certi orari was accepted by a justice of the United States supreme court, but there were not enough members of that court in Washington to issue a writ staying the execution until after the case was passed upon. Efforts to have the state supreme court stay the exe cution also failed because only one Justice of that court was in Phoenix and two were required to act Martin was 24 years old, he former ly lived in Chelsea, Mass., where he engaged, in the leather goods business. CHICAGO, Sept.' 9. Lottie Sprouse the 19-year-old invalid of LaClede, 111., friend of every trainman on the Chicago division of the Illinois Cen tral railroad, is dead. For three years Lottie had not missed a train, day 'or night. No matter what the weather, from her cot near the window she waved a greeting, and conductor, engineer and flagman alike responded. Only a few months ago the train men were deep in their plans for Lot tie's education and for a partial re covery at least from the effects of the dreaded disease, infantile paraly sis, which assailed her when she was 12 years old. Financial reverses suf fered by her father made it impossi ble for her to obtain adequate medi cal treatment and now the trainmen are busying themselves with their plans to pay her final homage. Since Christmas Lottie had waved to the passing trainmen with a new enthusiasm. They were her god fathers, and the men waved back with a new interest In their charge. She is dead, and when the trains flash by the trainmen say nothing, but each realizes a friend is gone. PRISONERS MUST WORK Cowlitz County, Wash., Commis sioners Issne Order. KALAMA, Wash., Sept 9.
