DENVER. Colo, July 12.-Within a
few months the highest bridge in the
world will be completed, and foot pas
sengers will be able to cross the Royal
Gorge. 2627 feet above the rushing
waters of the Arkansas river
Several years ago, when the PROPOSE
ton was advanced to bridge the gorge
the idea was laughed at. Promoters of
the scheme went ahead with true west
plans were submitted to bridge builders
they We're pronounced feasible.
L is planned to construct a bridge of
the suspension type for light wagons
and pedestrians only. Later a stronger
structure may replace ii. One unique
feature will be a glass floor, through
which travellers may look upon the
foamy stream as il rushes snakelike
through the granite gulch.
The Royal Gorge is the narrowest
point in the Grand Canyon. At the top
the width is but $50 feet, and far down
in the semi-darkness the river flows
over a bed only fifty feet from wall to
wall.
! At the bottom Of the Royal Gorge
there is railroad--one of the most re-
markable pieces of engineering i'm this
country. AT spots it was impossible ia
! find lodges wide enough to build the
track, so hanging bridges were de-
ViSed. Huge trusses of steel were
swung from one side of the gorge to
the other and from these the body of
the bridge was suspended.

MANY OLD TEACHERS TO
LEAVE NORMAL SCHOOL
NEW RULE WILL AFFECT THE
FACULTY
Change Is Most Extensive Made at
institution in Years-Regret Ex-
pressed Generally by Friends Of
Persons Forced From Positions

In the change of the Normal school
prohibiting all but high school gradu-
ates to enter, several Of the best known
and most popular professors will be
compelled TO resign their positions
which have now been made useless.
Among these are Prof. Melville Dozier,
who has been connected with the fac
ulty more than twenty-five years.
Prof Dozier has done all in his power
to assist the school in adjusting itself
TO the new conditions, knowing that his
position would be made vacant thereby,
but it was not known until recently
that he would not be given another
position.
He says that it is only in the line of
Advancement and does not complain
He is more than forty-five years old,
the age limit for admitting teachers to
the city schools, SO he cannot enter the
teaching life. DR.. Millspaugh, princi-
pal of the normal states that il is
greatly regretted that Prof. Dozer will
be left out of the faculty for the COM
ing year.
John b. Cleveland of the University
of Chicago will teach higher mathema-
tics. Miss Ada Laughlin, teacher of
drawing, has resigned and will be sue
ceeded by Miss Nellie r. Gere.
Miss Sarah Monks, who has been
connected with the school about the
same time that Prof, Dozier has, has
also resigned for the same reason.
Miss Alice NJ. Osden will succeed Miss
Katherine Gill as teacher of reading.
Miss Carrie Reeves and Miss Gill are
soon to become brides
Miss Reeves has resigned from the
head of the training department. Dr.
T. r. Croswell has left the faculty Ia

LOSES SUIT FOR
MOTHERS LIFE
JURY IN AUSTIN CASE GIVES
INFANT NOTHING
Little sdth Balloon Doesn't Know OF
Second Tragedy In Her Life.
Orphan Is Left Pen-
niless

While little Edith Balcom played un-
concernedly with her doll traps and
talked various kinds of baby talk to
a number of her favored little ones, a
Jury in department nine of the superior
court yesterday morning brought In Il
verdict against the youngster cutting
eff the one means whereby the child
was to have received fine educa zion
ard lots of good things untn size
should become old enough to manage
for herself.
But, surrounded by those who loved
her and hnppy with her toys, the little
orphan mercifully did not appreciate
sllat sterl verdict, and not until the
years to come will she understand tie
court proceedings she attended.
The little girl was suing for damages
for loss of her mother. Twenty thou
sand dollars did not mean anything to
TIE sober-faced Xoungster, but when
ever her mother was mentioned the
mother she had learned to wait for in
the evening and who had worked 50
hard for the little girls sake-the tot
frightened up.
There was only one thing about tho
tragedy wherein the mother, Mrs. Lulu
Austin, lost her life that appealed to
the little girl. She knew that her
mother had gone out for an automobile
ride with one of her friends and two
men, Little Edith remembered that it
was the first time her mamma had
teeu away from her during the late
afternoon and evening for long, long
time. The child had been put to bed by
her older friends, and the next morning
1t was a sad, sad world that the big
brown eyes opened upon.
Fatherless, little Edith had been
robbed of her only other relative during
the night and for a long while she
failed to be comforted.
Jurymen Unconvinced
The mother had accompanied her
friends out on East First street for a
ride in the country. The party had
started to return in the early evening.
but the automobile broke down and
caused considerable delay. A second
time they started and had reached the
First street hill just east of Evergreen
cemetery when the automobile topped
the hill and started down at a mad
speed. Just at the bottom of the hill
the automobile had stuck in the sand
and before the occupants could eXtri-
safe the machine a car going at a good
from the other direction and collided
head on.
There was a crash in the dark night,
a half-stifled scream, the sound of
splitting timber, and when the jarring
wheels of the car came to a stop and
the motorman leaped to the rescue, he
found dark, motonless body at the
side of the road.
So Edith had a guardian appointed,
and she asked the courts for $50, 900 for
the life of her mother accusing the
Los Angeles Railway company of hay
ing been negligent
But the twelve jurymen could not see
the case in that light. and many of
them were glad that Edith was home
playing with her dollies and not in
court looking at. them with her great
wondering eyes when they filed in yes
terday morning and gave a verdict
against the yOungster.
