Thaw trial coverage reveals jurors in church and ride
Reporting from Pittsburg and New York details focus on Harry Kendall Thaw after the Stanford White killing. Jurors attending services at University Place Presbyterian and touring Central Park contrasted with a juror's recent marriage, while Thaw's counsel conference and jail routine show him in better spirits. The Pittsburgh angle examines William Thaw's will and a codicil canceling Harry’s share, suggesting a motive tied to family secrets and disinheritance debated by experts.

Paris Moves Toward Peace With Liberal Church Lease Plan
Paris reports a new circular by Minister Briand easing church leases under the separation law. Mayors and municipal councils may grant rent free church leases to lawful associations or clergymen for up to eighteen years with prefect approval for longer terms. Lessees cover repairs and churches remain linked to their prior sect until legally disaffiliated. Briand outlines pastoral succession via a common law association as lessee and allows lease transfer with consent if a clergyman leaves. Clergy may consult bishops, but bishops are not contract parties. signatories bear responsibility. A clause can annul lease if the clergyman leaves the sect, and the circular aims to guide officials and clergy alike.
