JUMPED FROM TRAIN.
Insane Woman Not Found After Her
 Thrilling Lean

Opelika. Ala, Feb. N.-While Mrs. F. M. Whatley, of Society Hill, twenty miles from here. was being taken to the State Insane Hospital at Tuscaloosa she jumped from a moving train on the Central 'oe Georgia Railroad yesterday afternoon near Rollins and has not since been seen, so far as Is known here.
 Details are meager, but 1t is said that Mrs. Whatley had gone into the toilet of the car and, remaining unduly long, the guard who had her in charge went to the place and, opening the door, found that the window had been raised, but the wo- man was nowhere to be seen. She was not on the train and the train had not stopped, so 1t Is evident that she sprang out of the window from the flying train.
 Persons who reached here on the train from Birmingham this morning reported that she had not been found. A close search is being made of the surrounding country near the scene.
 Mrs. Whatley Is of an excellent family of this county. She has been an inmate of the State asylum several times. but has each time recovered sufficiently to return home. She boarded the train here yesterday.

KILLING IN RALEIGH.
One Prominent Man Shot to Deatt
 by Another.

Raleigh, N. C.. Feb. N.-The greatest social and criminal sensation Raleigh has ever known developed this evening, when. on Fayetteville Street Ernest Hay wood shot and killed Ludlow Skinner.
 The prominence of both families Is marked. Haywood is a grandson of the late State Treasurer, John Haywood, and son of the late pr. E. Burke Haywood, and one of Raleighs leading lawyers. Skinner was a grandson of the late Mir. Ludlow of New York and a son of Rev. pr. Thomas E. Skinner of Raleigh, one of the best known Baptists in the South.
 At least a hundred persons must have seen the shooting. certainly that number saw the victim of Haywood's revolver as he reeled and fell upon his face on the car track in front of the postofflce. Hay wood was taken by Deputy Sheriff Spark to Haywood's law office and was there for about two hours guarded by deputies and consulting his attorneys.
 Later he was taken to the court house where Magistrate Maroon had a prelim- mary hearing taking only Sparks testi- mony. upon which he committed Hay wood to Jail without bail for murder Skinner's wife is a daughter of the late Major John c. Winder. The rumor here is that the tragedy grew out of a re- ported secret marriage in the family of one of the men mentioned.

Founder Stands Ready to Advance Any Sum Which May Be Needed.

Any Sum Which May Be Needed.
 New York, Feb. Abr. l. Emmett Holt, Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Rockefeller Institute, made public tonight the detailed plans of a project as far as they have been declared.
 These plans embrace a scheme for an in- stitution of medical and pathological re- search which. 1t Is said, will be without an equal in America and unexcelled in the world. The gifts of John D. Rocke- feller to the institute thus far aggregate q. 200, GOO, and the understanding is that Rockefeller stands ready to finance the institution for any amount necessary to carry out the work. The institution will occupy four city blocks between the East River and Avenue A and Sixtieth and Sixty-fourth Streets.
 The present plans, according to the an- nouncement of pr. Holt, call for the im- mediate erection of laboratory for in- Nestigation in all departments of medical research; the building of a hospital in which special groups of patients may be treated to develop new methods for the treatment of disease.
 Popular lectures and a new medical journal will be also established. Dr. Holt says that John D. Rockefeller, Jr., also is interested in the plan, but denies that the Institution is intended as memorial to the elder Roekefellers grandson Jack Mccormick" who died year and half ago. The gift of $1,20O.OO0 were n ade by MT. Rockefeller in 1901. pr. Holt, in his statement reviews the work of organizing the institute and confirms the story that Professor Flexner, Pro- lessor of Pathology in the University of Pennsylvania, has been chosen director of the laboratory.
 Dr. Flexner will begin his work at the institute in July. He will spend the greater part of his first year in Europe during the construction of the laboratory in New York. This building will he start ed so as to be ready for occupancy on October 1, 1904.

DR. DUNCAN ACQUITTED.
The Verdict Meets With Favor in
 Pittsburg,

Pittsburg, Feb. 2.-Dr. Ellis Duncan of Louisville. Ky, was founi not guilty or the charge of shooting Bruce Head with felonious intent. The jury rendered a sealed verdict last night after being out four hours, and when the court opened at 9:30 o'clock this IT orning it was read by Judge Frazier. pr. Duncan was at once discharged.
 That the verdict was a popular one was shown by the fact that when the an nouncement was made 1t was greeted with loud hand-clapping. This was immediate ly suppressed. Dr. Duncan was the re- cipient of many congratulations from friends and strangers. He had a smile on his face and showed an air of in tense relief that the ordeal was over. He said he would not discuss his family af- fairs and intended to pursue the same policy of silence that he had always maintained except when compelled to tes- tify. He will leave for home tonight.

In the second heat Walthour started
after Bald on the jump. Eddie had
practically worked himself out in the
first heat however, and was unable to
get the lead in a single lap of the five
miles. Walthour steadily gained on
Bald, and on the first lap of the fifth
mlle' went by the swift sprint man who
only recently began following pace.
Lap after lap in the final mile Wal
thour increased his lead and when,

pion, crossed the tap a winner by near
~ a lap, the spectators went wild.

down him yet. Will Stinson will race
