WAGES OF SIN.
Thaw's Victim a Libertine Whose
Victims Were Young Girls.

Victims Were Young Girls.
New York, June 2s-When Stanford
White fell in the Madison Square roof
garden his reputation fell with him.
That is, the reputation with which he
was credited by the great public, For
among the devotees in New York's
gay side he was known as a voluptu-
ary "a libertine and a man who for
years had pursued with avidity the
coarse and darker pleasures of the
city
White had private room for
months until he was asked to vacate
it, in a popular restaurant building.
He was a leading spirit in a club"
whose objects were doubtful and
whose membership was composed of
men.
He was president and the ardent
promoter of the Chorus Girls club"
having for its primary object late sup
pers behind closed doors and for its
ultimate object only what the mem
bers" chose to reveal.
For years his attentions to women
had attracted notice in the tenderloin,
and he is credited with some of the

FOUNDERS.
If the police told all they knew
about the doings in Whites apart
ments a sensation bigger than the one
his tragic death caused would be the
result.
Facts that have developed since the
murder make one wonder how it was
that White did not meet his fate long
ago. The Gerry society has received
numerous complaints against him, but
there never were any prosecutions, the
principal reason being that the parents
of the victims wanted to avoid motor
iety.
The biblical prophecy. THE wages
of sin is DEATH" never was better ex-
emplifled than in the dramatic staying
of this man. He went to the Madison
Square roof garden on a sinful mis-
sion to keep an engagement with a
pretty show girl he having only a

b Bismarck, N. d., June 2S.-The in

represented by Winship of The Grand
Forks Herald, dies hard. The Herald
is still claiming over 200 votes for the
insurgents, with list of seventy five
to 100 in the doubtful column, and it
is asserted that enough of these may
be gained by the insurgents to give
them chance of controlling the state
convention.
This ostensible belief, however, is
confined to The Herald. The other in
surgent organs of the state. notably
The Lidgerwood Broadaxe and The

the state convention by the regulars,

THAT WHITES DEATH WAS
DUE TO GUN SHOT WOUNDS BY
THAW-GRAND JURY CHARGED
FIRST DEGREE MURDER.

New York, June 2S-Events followed
each other in rapid succession in the
Thaw-White murder tragedy today.
The days proceedings began with
the coroner's inquest which consumed
scarcely more than half an hour and
the jury consumed only three minutes
in reaching its verdict, which declared
that White came to his death by a,
gun shot wound inflicted by Thaw.
The presentation of the case to the
grand jury followed without delay and
by early afternoon an indictment
charging murder in the first degree
had been reported, the prisoner had
been sent back to the Tombs without
bail, and arrangements had been made
for him to plead to the indictment to-
morrow. Throughout the entire pro-
ceedings Thaw appeared to be the
least interested person in the criminal
court building.
Mrs. Thaw was taken before the
grand Jury, but it is understood she
declined to ansyer any questions bear
ing on the murder and no pressure
whatever was exerted to force her to
testify.
The body of Stanford White was
buried today at St. James, L. I.

Mrs. Thaw asked permission of her

husbands side, but her request was
denied by the attorneys.

Indianapolis, Ind, January S.
Reports from various sections of In

fell last night has been blessing to
the growing wheat and that colder
weather which is promised for to-
morrow when the mercury will fall
to about ten degrees above zero will
find the crop protected and thus will
be saved from what might prove dis
astrous conditions The lowest tenn

slightly more pronounced. but zero

THERMOMETER DROPPED SUD-
DENLY AFTER DINNER YES
TERDAY TO THAT MARK.
GOLD WEATHER is GENERAL
It is Not to Last Long Snow Fall
Proves Blessing.

Yesterdays snow brought with it
decided drop in the mercury and
according to the weather reports
sleiehing can be expected for few
more days at least.
Three inches was the depth of
snow reported by the government
station at the pump house east of the
city, although in some places owing
to the brisk northeast wind the snow
was drifted to a depth Of nearly half
a foot. 1t is the deepest snow that
has visited the city for some years In
a single snow storm and the sleighing
is reported as excellent.
Immediately the snow storm had
passed there was rapid fall in the
temperature. Shortly after noon yes
terday the mercury registered IL de-
grees above and six o o'clock in the
evening it had fallen to one degree
below zero, the first zero weather ex-
perience in Richmond this year.
Walter Ratliff, who receives the
government weather reports says
that the severe cold will not last
over a few days and that Richmond
may expect slightly warmer weather
tonight.
Street Car Service Effected.
Yesterdays snow caused much
damage to the Interurban companies
and much Inconvenience to the trav-
cling public. The snow was piled
deep on the tracks on the outside of
the city limits and in the rural por-
tions. There was scarcely an inter
urban ear that came into the city
on time yesterday.
The through Indianapolis car that
arrives in the city at midnight was
delayed at Moorman's switch, west
Of the city, Sunday night. Owing TO
the snow covered tracks the motor
man lost control of the car and the
front trucks left the track. The troll
ley was demolished and several panes
Of glass were broken. The car was
held for about an hour till crew
from Richmond could be sent to its
relief.
Yesterday afternoon the company
had nearly all the snow off the tracks
and there is little doubt but that to-
day all cars will be running on time.

BUILT BY WORKING MEN
Few Modern Houses Now

on the West Side, on South Four

is estimated that 400 houses were

1t would seem that the great
