A traveler who recently visited the coast of Labrador says that nowhere on earth nro life and property held so sacred as in that little known and bar ren land. A thousand miles of lonely seaboard, along which Is scattered a population of some 10,000 people, about one-tblrd of whom are white, would seem to give every opportunity for crime, yet there Is no police officer of any kind, no court nnd no Jail. Nor are they needed. The only criminal charge within flfty years was one against nn Eskimo, who shot a rival !u love. In addition to tho resident popula tion tho coast Is visited every summer by about 10,000 Newfoundland fisher men, and, while Newfoundland Itself Is not by any means free from criminals, none appear to come among the fishers or elso the example of tho natives of Labrador causes them to refrain from any wrongdoing whllo there. Years ago a circuit court Tlsltcd the coast every summer, but ns It found nothing to do It was abolished. Now should any serious charge lie made against a man a magistrate would be sent from Newfoundland to investigate it.—Ilar- per’s Weekly.

June 26.—Perfectly calm Harry Kendall Thaw, who -Monday night shot anil killed Stanford White, a prominent architect, faced a coroner and a number of police officials early Tuesday, aosolutely refusing to make any extended statement as to what led up to t ie tragedy on the roof of Madison Square Garden as the first nlshfs performance of “Mam'selle l.a Champagne" was being sung to close. While Thaw, In his emaculate even Ing drees, sat In a cell in the tender loin, detectives were scouring the city for his wife, formerly Evelyn Florence Nesblt, before her marriage a chorus girl and artists' model. Mrs. Thaw disappeared as her hus band was being hurried off by a po liceman, and after throwing her arms around his neck, and crying, "Oh, Har ry, Harry! Why did you do It, Har- ahe la said to have entered an automobile and been whirled away. The coroner, after an examination, said that one bullet had hit White be- tween the shoulders and had perforat ed his lungs. The second had cater ed the left eye and had come-out on the right side of the head. The tragedy, while a shock to the friends of ^oth men, was not altogeth er a surpriso to them. They knew, nnd have known for several years that againBt the architect Thaw had the most bitter feeling. It dated back to the time when he first fell In love with the young woman who now Is his wife. He made no secret of this feeling. The culmination of the tragedy was the Cafe Martin at the hour of dinner. Its end Was on the roof of MadUon Square Garden, a few minutes later. In the first scene, Mr. and Mrs. Thaw, her father and another man were dining together when Mr. White nnd two other men entered and took places nearby. According to Mr. Thaw's own words to a reporter, did not know of the presence of the architect until the agitation of his wife attracted his attention. He asked a question to be answered by a note, say. Ing: "That dirty blpCkguifrd is here." White left the cafe soon afterward, visiting his atudlo In the lower part of Madison Square Garden, which Is one of the many buildings be designed, then going to his club and finally to the roof garden, Mr. and Mrs. Thaw were there. Mr. and Mrs. Thaw had gone back of the scenes to visit some friends, and immediately her husband began pacing up and down the floor. It was while Thaw was oh the western side of the building that White came In, sat down, chatted a moment with Harry Stev ens, and then as Stevens left, looked nt the stage. Thaw watched him moment from one of the entrances, then began to thread hla way forward, Without looking to the right or left, he walked toward the table until he leaned forward over Its edyi- toward his victim. At this momc. t White recognized him and made a movement to rise. But there was no time. With muttered Imprecation, the young man drew a revolver and begun firing. Three shots rang out. Two took ef fect, and White lay dead. It was then that Thaw was arrested. It was said Tuesday morning that when Miss Nesblt came to New York with her mother from Pittsburg, Mr. White was one of their frlend3. When Miss Nesblt was a girl of 1C she showed a desire to go on the stage and Mr. White aided her In getting a start She had been an artist’s model, and Mr. White Interested George W. Led- erer In pictures of her. After she had gone on in "The Wild Rose," and had made a hit, Mr. White was often seen In her cumi-any. Thaw was taken to a pqllce court and arraigned Tuesday morning, charged with the murder of Stanford White. From the police court he was taken to the criminal court building, presumably to be re-arraigned before coroner.
