MILLIONAIRE A MURDERER.
Harry Thayv Kills Stanford White
I'm New York.

in New York.
Stanford White, well-known New
York architect, member of exclusive
clubs and prominent in society, was
shot and instantly killed by Harry Ken
dali Thaw, member of the Pittsburg
family of millionaires and husband of
Evelyn Nesbit. the actress. at the Mad
son Square Roof Garden Monday night
Mr.. White was an old friend of the
Nesbit family and was instrumental in
procuring a position on the stage for
Evelyn, when she came to New York
years ago and served for some time as
an artists model.
1t was near the close of "Mamselle
Champagne" musical comedy, with
which the garden was opened that
Thaw approached the table at which
White was seated with another man
and fired three shots from an automatic
revolver into the breast of the archi-
test.
Thaw was arrested without making
any resistance after he had dramati-
cally assured the terrified audience by
gesture that he would shoot no more
and had emptied his weapon of car
tridges. He was locked in the West
Both street police station where he
made statement that the death of
White was deserved for mary reasons.
There is no doubt that Jealousy.
amounting almost to an insane hatred.
was responsible fer the deed. In his
statement Thaw mentioned several
times the name of his wife, coupling
this with characterizatiOns of White
that he was a blackguard ard scoun-
drel. Mrs. Thaw was on the roof at the
time of the tragedy She had only time
to rush out as the special policeman
was leading her husband away pris-
oner and throw her arms around his
neck, crying Historically, 'Oh, Harry
Harry. Harry" when she collapsed
and was taken away By friends.
The throng in the tneater was near
a panic. That there was no disaster
was due to the scene that was then on
the stage, to the GOODNESS of Lionel
Lawrence the stage manager, to several
men in the audience and to attaches.
The limelight of the scene prevented
all from seeing the tragedy. The de-
tonating reports of the revolver SO
much resembled firecracker that few
received the first alarm. Then it was
that Mr.. Lawrence and the others,
springing up everywhere, called upon
all to remain in their seats, as there
was no danger. while others covered the
body of White with their coats and
clothes. The performance was at once
co cluded. but the audience passed out
without giving evidence of great excite
ment.
The tragedy, while a shock to the
friends of both men, was not altogether
surprise to them. They knew, and
have known for several years. that
against the architect Thaw had the
most bitter feeling.

opos.aic Consumption Remedy.

A treatment for tuberculosis, based
upon the known function of white blood
corpuscles, namely, their power to assimi-
late and carry away disease bacilli, has
been recently investigated with consider
able success in a London hospital. 1t is
found that if certain organisms, termed
opsonins, are not present in sufficient
strength, the white corpuscles are unable
to do their duty, and the disease makes
Roadway rapidly. If an examination of
the patient shows a shortage of opson-

Momentous Year for Norway.
The browning of King Haakon VII.
and Queen Maud was made possible by
the momentous events of last summer
In Norway. For many years differ
ences had existed between that country
and Sweden as to the Interpretation to
be put upon the convention of 1914, and
the rikstag of 1915. Norway claimed
to be an independent nation and not to
belong constitutionally to Sweden. The
right to appoint consuls to foreign coun-
tries was one of the chief matters In
dispute for several years. In May the
Norwegian storthing passed bill for
a separate consular system. 1t was
vetoed by King Oscar, whereupon the
Norwegian council of state resigned.
The resignation was not accepted and
then the storthing passed a resolution
declaring the union between Norway
and Sweden under one King dissolved.
This was on June Z. For some time
war between the two countries was
threatened, but finally commissioners
were appointed and the treaty of Carl
stad was adopted by which the dissolu-
ton of the old ties was confirmed and
arrangements made for future rela-
tons on the basis of complete indie
pendence.
Some of the people of Norway were
in favor of establishing a republic, but
the majority were opposed to taking
such radical step and the government,

PRESIDENT TO SEE CANAL.
Fall Trip to Panama VIII Replace
Proposed Western Tour.

Fall Trip to Panama VIII Replace
Proposed Western Tour.
Announcement of President Roose-
velt'S intention to visit the Isthmus Of
Panama next fall and personally inyes-
tigate the work of construction on the
great waterway came as a surprise
from the White House, a Washington
correspondent says. Incidentally it was
also given out that Mr.. Roosevelt would
not make the proposed trip to San
Francisco in the fall nor the tour of
the Middle West which he had con-
tenlplated for next spring. In May,
1907, however. he will take a run into
Michigan, stopping at Lansing for the
agricultural college celebration.
1t is expected the President will
leave Washington for Panama the lat
ter part of next October or in the early
days of November He will be absent
about three weeks. The trip probably
will be made on one of the big cruisers
of the navy. but what vessel will carry
the President and his party is yet not
known
None of the details of the trip has
yet been worked out. Beyond the bare
decision to make the trip the President
has reached practically no conclusions
1t is likely he will be accompanied on
the journey by Secretary Taft and
Chairman Shonts of the Panama Canal
Commission. but even this has not been
determined definitely.
The President has long desired per-
sonally to inspect the route of the canal
and to make himself personally famil-
lar with the great undertaking of con-
structlng the water way. The decision
that he will visit the American zone
OH the Isthmus of Panama was not
reached hastily, but has been under
consideration for a considerable time.
1t is the expectation that the President
will be able to spend at least a week
on the canal zone and in that time lie
will familiarize himself with the situa-
ton by study of it at close range A
personal visit to the canal zone will
enable him to handle with an absolute
knowledge of the situation the great
problems which constantly will be aris-
ing in connection with the work of
canal construction and administration

WISCONSIN Supreme Court Decision
Proves Far Reaching.
WeU-known Milwaukee lawyers deem
4ba decision of the Wisconsin Supreme
Court which upheld the Inheritance tax
law as one Of the most far-reachipg that
has been given in the United States. They
declare the decision shows the way open
for the adoption of President Roosevelt's
suggestion that fortunes swollen beyond
all healthy limits" be taxed. The State
of Wisconsin will recover about $780,
900 in back Inheritance taxes under the
decision, besides a similar amount from
the railroads on ad valorem tax. An
other important decision established the
right of the State to fix rates to be
charged by public service corporations in
the State. The Madison Gas and Flee
trio Company, it was decided. did not
have to produce its books so that the city
might determine the reasonabeness of the
company's charges The c>Ert then clear
ly stated that it is within the province Of
the State to determine the maximum
rates. In its opinion the Supreme Court
upholds the absolute constitutionality of
the Inheritance tax law. The court adj
mits the natural right of Inheritance and
the right to will property. 1t holds, how
ever, that the constitution does not limit
the Legislatures power of taxation to
property alone 1t was not intended to
prohibit the taxing of mortgages and oc-
equations. The constitutional require
ment of uniform taxation" it is main
tanned by the court-in case it applies
at all to excise taxation-means only the
general equality of the constitution. In
other words. there must be no unjust dis
elimination, The progressive tax upon in

the progressive tax, which as early as
