The beginning of the tragedy last night
was in the Cafe Martin at the dinner hour.
Its end was on the roof few minutes after
Ii o'clock. In the first scene, Mr.. and Mrs.
Thaw. her father and another man were
dining together when White and two othe
men entered and took places nearby. Ac-
cording to Thaw's own words to a reporter,
he did not know of the presence of the
architect until the agitation of his wife at
tracted his attention. He asked question,
to be answered with a note saying: That
dirty blackguard Is here"
White left the safe soon afterward, visiting
several places, going finally to the roof garden.
Mr.. and Mrs Thaw were there Mrs. Thaw
had gone back of the scenes to visit some
friends, and Immediately her husband be-

Even then the audience was not fully alive

Thaw faced the audience, broke" the

rushed up and putting her arms about his
neck, kissed him.
Thaw Taken to the Station.
Thaw never once lost his composure His
linen and his evening suit showed no signs
of running. Only the paleness of his face
showed that anything had happened to ex-

The information came in the nature of a

unprepared to hear OF an accident In which

figure.
The news of the killing came as a dis

for discussion today IN all the prominent
clubs and homes in the two cities.

In an opinion submitted to the Commits

upholds Building Inspector Ashford and
Engineer Commissioner Biddle concerning
the proposed use OF the third and fourth
floors of the Trinity College building, on

Commissioners were without authority to
permit the use of such a non-hreproof
building dormitory, these opinions be-
ing expressed more than a year ago, when
the matter was first considered in connec-

Arguments were made in the U. S.
Circuit court last week in the suit of
W. r. Hearst against the coal trust.
His suit was begun four years ago be-
fore the strike began but the slowness
of the courts is the security Of the pre-
datory classes. Benjamin Il. Tillman
has been reading in the U. S. Senate
daily for nearly a month letters and
statements telling how the railroad
trust has monopolized the production
and transportation of coal and destroy
ed the business of independent concerns.
Other public men may have more en-
inent responsibility, but these two un-
couth men are the two most prominent
leaders who are fighting the battles for
the people both in Congress and in the
press. Both General Jackson and
Abraham Lincoln were assailed for
their uncouth boorishness, but because
they fought and won battles for hui
mainly they are now political saints.
In future years it will be the anne with
leaders of the present day. They will
be honored for the principals they adj
vocated and not for their polished per-
SOnality.
