PAPUAN AFFAIRS
(Received May 19, 12.30 p.m.) MELBOURNE, May 19. Judge Murray denies that capital crime among the natives of Papua is increasing, and points out that* there were seven murders of whites in the five years prior to Commonwealth control, while there has only been four in the last eight years. The punishment of a native for the murder of a European was invariably death. The pacification of territory was proceeding satisfactorily.
