NEW YORK'S TRAGIC SENSATION
[Spccial Dispatch to Daily Alaska ]
New York, June 27. ? Never since
the slaying of James Fisk, as he was
decending the steps of the Grand
Central hotel in New York city thirty
years ago, has Gotham been so excited
over a tragedy as now prevails in re
gard to the shooting by Harry Thaw of
Stanford White, at the Madison Si[uare
roof garden Monday night. No sen
sation of this kind in recent years has
hail so many prominent people in the '
cast. Harry Thaw, the slayer, is
kuown to the gay world of two conti
nents and is the brother of Countess I
Yarmouth.
Stanford White was the son of Kich
aril Mansfield White, the famous
deceased author and critic, as was as
well known in the sphere of his pro
fession, as was his famous sire in the j
world of letters. Stanford White was
the designer of a number of the most j
notable and modern structures in
America, and it is a strange co-inci
dent that he drew the plans of the
Madison Square roof gardens, where he
came to his tragic end.
Harry Thaw, and his wife, Evelyn j
Nesbit, the actress, are aliens and
their high British connections give
international importance to the sensa
tion.
I The coroner's jury have held an in
quest and the autopsy shows that three
bullets were shot Into the body of the
famous architect. One entered the
brain, another entered the eye and
another the shoulder.
Thaw's wife has been subpoenieil to
appear before the grand jury tomor
row. The words of the slayer, "You
deserve this, you have ruined my
honor," as he shot down his victim,
has given the public the keynote to
what Is believed will develope at the
trial and that this unfortunate affair
will be a drama as well as a gruesome
tragi dy.
Hon. Frank Black, ex-governor of
New York, who nominated Theodore
Roosevelt for president at the late re
publican convention which convened at
Chicago, has been retained to defend
the slayer and money will be used with
out stint to save bim from the death
penalty.
Brother Leaves Seattle
Seattle, June 27.? Richard Mansfield
white, brother of Stanford White, who
was shot by Harry Thaw at the Madi
son Square roof gardens Monday right,
left for New York City last night to
comfort his mother aud to take charge
of his brother's estate.

HONOR m
Gov ineforrl Giv^n Ova
ti<?n af Ketchikan
Ketchikan, Alaska, June 23.? (Spec
ial correspondence)? Ea-Gov. Swine,
ford's home town gave him a rousing
send off in his race for delegate for the
short term. Though rain had been
falling in torrents for several days and
the weather was altogether inclement,
a larger exclusively male audience than
was ever before assembled in Red
Men's hall, turned out to do him honor
and by their presence testify to the
high regard in which they hold him as
a man and fellow citizen The Ketch
ikan brass band, which had volunteered
for the occasion, contributed not a little
to the enthusiasm which prevailed
throughout the entire evening, the
large audierce rising as one man at the
close of the pioceedinas and joining in
three rousing cheers and a tiger for
the champion of home rule for the peo
ple of Alaska.
The meeting was called to order by
Chas N. Cosgrove, Esq., who in a few
well chosen remarks, eulogistic of Gov.
Swineford, introduced Mayor P. J.
Hunt, who had previously been selected
as chairman of the meeting, and as
such to present to the venerable gov
ernor the numerously signed Ketchikan
and Hadley petitions asking him to
allow the use of his name as a candi
date, The mayor made a most admir
able p~esiding officer, and notwith
standing his assertion of lack of ora
torial ability made the presentment in
a speejh which was not only favorably
received by the large audience but
voci'ererisly applauded when he closed.
Gov. Swineford responded with con
siderable evidence of grateful emotion,
thanking his friends and neighbors for
the kindly feeling of confidence in him
evidenced by their signatures to the
petitions asking him to be a candidate,
and accepti. g their call, pledging him
self if elected to serve not only them
but the people of Alaska, without re
gard to SfCtion honestly, faithfully and
to the best of his ability. Gov, Swine
ford spoke for over an hour, discussing
the question of home-rule to be thp one
and only issue before the people at th?
present time, and arousing his hearers
to a high pitch of enthusiasm.
More than 90 per cent, of the legal
voters of the Ketchikin mining district
signed the petitions presented to the
ex-governor, and goes without, saying
i that could his neighbors have the
I whole say in the premises, h!s election
j would be a practically unanimous vote.
