The plaintiffs in the suit are the step-grandchildren of Mrs. Haddock.

A NEW STAR IN

Indianapolis Star. MILLIONAIRE A MURDERER. Harry Thaw Kills Stanford White In Xew York. Stanford White, a well-known New York architect, member of exclusive clubs and prominent in society, was shot and instantly killed by Harry Kendall Thaw, member of tbe Pittsburg family of millionaires and husband of Evelyn Nesbit, the actress, at the Madison Square Roof Garden Monday .night Mr. White was an old friend of the Nesbit family and was instrumental in procuring a position on tbe stage for Evelyn, when she came to New York years ago and served for some time as an artist's model. It was near the close of "Mnmselle Champagne," a 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 architect. Thaw was arrested without making any resistance after he had dramatically assured the terrified audience by gesture that he would shoot no more and had emptied his weapon of cartridges. He was locked In the West 30th street police station, where he made a statement that, the death of White was deserved for many reasons. There Is no doubt that jealousy, amounting almost to an Insane hatred, was responsible for the deed. In nls statement Thaw mentioned several times the name of his wife, coupling this with characterizations of White that he was a blackguard and a scoundrel. 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 nway a prisoner and throw her arms around his neck, crying hysterically, "Oh, Harry! Harry! Harry!" when she collapsed and was taken away by friends. The throng in the theater was near a panic That there was no disaster was due to the scene that was then on the stage, to the coolness 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 detonating reports of the revolver so much resembled a 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 concluded, but the audience passed out without giving evldence of great excitement. The tragedy, while a shock to the friends of both men, was not altogether a surprise to them. They knew, and have known for several years, that against the architect Thaw had the most bitter feeling. Oposonle Consumption Remedy. A treatment for tuberculosis, based upon the known function of white blood corpuscles, namely, their power to assimilate and carry away disease bacilli, has been recently investigated with considerable success in a London hospital. It 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 headway rapidly. . If an examination of the patient shows a shortage of opsonins, a serum made of dead bacteria of the same variety as those causing the disease, is injected. The patient's own body then stimulates the production of the desired organisms. This condition may be preserved by daily tests until. the disease is expelled. The most notable successes have been obtained in cases of lupus, the bacillis of which is identified with that of tuberculosis, only that the former attacks the skin. Hotter Storage Bsperlments. Extensive experiments in the making and storing of butter made in the last eight months by the Agricultural Department reveal the fact that light salting, low temperature, full tubs ' or cans, to eliminate air, and cream received at the creamery in a perfectly sveet condition gave by far the best resul.s for storage butter. Butter made from sour cream kept as well while in ston.f e at low temperature, but rapidly deteriorated after being taken out, making it entirely unsatisfactory. Butter heavily salted did not keep as well as that with little salt. Volcamoes Dae to Radium. Major E. C. Dutton, in an article for the Popular Science Monthly, dissents from the popular theory that volcanoes "are the chimneys of the world," and is convinced that they are situated over lava reservoirs, "rarely over three roiles deep." Psoof of this he finds in the study of earth tremors or quakes, which almost always accompany volcanoes. These are governed by the same . laws as sound waves. The source of heat, which causes the gaseous eruption, is the radio activity of the earth's crust in limited tracts at a depth of from one to three miles, thus causing a melting of the rock. A Reallr Fireproof House. At New Dorp, Staten Island, there has been built a house which is really fireproof. The walls and partitions are of hollow concrete blocks, the floors and roof of re-en forced concrete, the floors being supported by 3xl0-inch concrete beams, re-enforced with bars. The slab forming the roof extends down to form a cornice, thus completing the frame without the use of a single piece of wood. The stairs and porches are also of cement, reenforced with rods. Castro will resume the presidency of .Venezuela July

THE FIRMAMENT.

PRESIDENT TO SEE CANAL. Fall Trip to Tanama "Will Replace Proposed "Western Tour. Announcement of President Roosevelt's intention to visit the Isthmus of Panama next fall and personally Investigate the work of construction on the groat waterway came as a surprise from tbe Wrhite 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 bad contemplated for next spring. In May, 1907, however, he will take a run Into Michigan, stopping at Lansing for the agricultural college celebration. It is expected the President will leave Washington for Panama the latter 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 bis party is yet not known. . None of the details of the trip has yet been worked out. Beyond the bare decision to make tbe trip the President has reached practically no conclusions. It 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 familiar with the great undertaking of constructing the water way. The decision that be will visit the American zone ou the Isthmus of Panama was not reached hastily, but has been under consideration for a considerable time. It is the expectation that the President will be able to spend at least a week on the canal zone and in thai time he will familiarize himself with the situa tion by a study of It at close range. A personal visit to tbe canal zone will enable him to handle with an absolute knowledge of the situation the great problems which constantly will be arising In connection with the work of canal construction and administration.

There is some consolation that they can't imitate terrapin and canvasback duck in a packing factory. The members of the Douma object to being part of any ping-pong government for the Czar to play with.

fcRMOUR SPEAKS OUT.

Chloasro Parker Refers to Current Criticism as Unjustifiable. J. Ogden Armour, who arrived in New York Tuesday with his wife and daugh ter after a season irl Europe, had much to say in defense of the meat packing Industry and of its critics. In a wrd, he denounced the attacks as scandalously unfair and, with reference to the corporation of Armour & Co., he said it had spent an average of $700,000 a year for the last five years in the extension and general improvement J. O. ABM0U3. of its plant at the stock yards. Mr. Armour said: 'The entire export trade of this coun try has been badly damaged. To estimate the total loss now would be merely guefcs work. It may run into hundreds of millions. When the American industries are slandered by persons who pretend to speak as Americans it is to be expected that the foreign competitors will take ad vantage of it. "The public has been ignorantly or ma liciously misinformed on the two most important phases of the whole questionnamely, the character of the meat inspec tion as it is and has been and the attitude of the large packers towrd the proposed legislation. 'The inspection now m force in all of the larger packing houses makes the sale of diseased meats from such houses im possible. The government, which is re sponsible for the inspection, has failed to slate the facts about it. "The large packers believe in govern ment inspection. Trey asked lor it in the first place. They want it continued and improved, if it can be improved. Certain minor features of the proposed legislation, as first presented, were objec tionable. They apparently were put into the bill by jersons who had not any knowledge of or regard for the practical side of any business. But I believe all of the large packers heartily favor the purpose which the pending bill is intended to accomplish namely: 'Thorough inspection of all anitxals be fore slaughter. "Thorough inspection of all animals af ter slaughter. ' - 'Thorough inspection of the sanitary conditions in the packing houses. "Thorough inspection of the products that go to the consumer in forms other than in bulk. 'We are able to say, with exact truth, that every pound of meat in our plants for local as well as for export, is inspected and passed in accordance with the full regulations of the Department of Agriculture and the bureau of animal indus try. Unprejudiced men and scientists, who have exact knowledge, will agree that these regulations are the strictest in the world. Ever day carcasses and meats that would be passed for food in Germany and other foreign countries are condemned in our houses and converted into grase and fertilizer."' MILLION ALIENS IN A YEAR.
