GERMANY WON'T INTERFERE

Berlin. July l3.-The foreign Office
has given out an authorized statement
respecting a letter of Emperor VII

Reports have reached Berlin that
attempts were being made in America
to construe this letter. published in the
American papers. as an endorsement
by the emperor of the Madriz faction
in the war for control of Nicaragua.
The statement follows:
"Madriz gave notice of his election

THE address. Great and good

followed nor is intended. Germany
neither sought nor designs to seek a

suggestions that the German govern

AVIATOR KILLED
Charles Rolls Falls at
BOurnemOuth. Eng.
DIED BEFORE BIG CROWD
Hero of Cross Channel Flight and
Back Met Death When Tall
Piece of Biplane Broke at
Height of 100 Feet.

Bournemouth Eng. July l3.-Hon.
Charles Stewart Rolls. third son Of
Lord I.langattock. and noted for his
recent double flight across the Eng
llsh channel. was killed here at the
aviation meet. in which Armstrong
Drexel so distinguished himself sew
eral days ago.
The tragedy occurred In the pres
ence of a great company of specta-
tors. a majority of whom were women
and children, and many Of the per-
sonal friends OF the young aviator.
The Wright biplane on which he was
flying fell suddenly with terrific speed
from a height Of 100 feet. 1t struck
the ground close to the crowded grand
stand. smashed into tangled mass.
and before the doctors and their as
sistants could reach the spot Rolls was
dead
The event in which Rolls was com
petlng was for prize for the aviator
alighting nearest given mark The
goal was directly In front OF the grand
stand. where the spectators were
massed. He had risen To good height
and then shut of his motor and was
gliding in a broad circle toward the
mark.
Without warning the tail piece OF
the blplane snapped of. The machine
gave a sudden lurch. and the frame
work crumpled up in the air. When 1t
struck the ground It was smashed to
splinters. The doctors found that
Rolls had sustained a fractured skull.
The wreck Of the machine and twisted
stays surrounded the body so that
there was difficulty In extricatlng the
unfortunate man.
Lord and Lady Llangattock. the par
ents OF Rolls. narrowly escaped wit
Messing the catastrophe. They were
yachting along the coast. and put In at
Poole near Bournemouth. intending to
attend the aviation meeting but post
poned going until after noon.
Audemars. the Swiss aviator. had
close shave while making a trial
flight His monoplane overturned and
descended swiftly to the ground. but
he escaped without injury.
Captain Rolls had expected to come
to the United States this fall to give
exhibitions Of flying and to compete in
any meetings that might be held. Az
ter his fight Of the English channel
he received kilograms OF congratula-
ton from King George and Queen
Mary. and was given the gold medal
Of the Royal Aero club. and altogether
was one OF the most conspicuous fig
ures In England

NO EXTRA SESSION NEEDED

The agitation for an extra session
of the General Assembly to choose a
successor to Senator Daniel will, in
our opinion, find little favor with
the people of this State, who have
no desire to see thousands of dollars
spent in filling vacancy IN the
United States Senate which can be
filled by the Governor at little or no
cost. Outside of the question of ex-
pense it is too plain to admit of ar
gument that Ex-Governor Swanson
is strong favorite for the vacancy
and the chances are ten to one that
he would be the choice of majority
of the General Assembly should it
be called together. 1t is altogether
probable that Governor man will
name Swanson for the Senate and
thus the same result is achieved
without the necessity of spending a
large sum of money calling the Leg
islature in extra session. We think
the people are perfectly willing to
leave the appointment to the Cover
nor, and we are sure that the Gov
ernor will appoint the man whom he
thinks best qualified to fill the place
left vacant by the passing of Sena-
tor Daniel. In addition, if any other
argument be needed, primary will
soon be held and at that time the
people will have full opportunity to
nominate the man of their choice.
The Governor would make a great
mistake should ne convene the Gen
eral Assembly and we are thorough
ly convinced that he has no idea of
doing so.

A special from Norfolk says:

Representatives of the Norfolk
Board of Trade will confer with the
director of the census with a view to
having deferred the announcement
Of the population of the city of Nor
folk until Huntersville and Lam
berts Point, which it is proposed to
annex to the city. have been annexed
in fact. There are LOO people in
the two districts.
Both councils have passed and the
mayor has approved ordinances an
nexing the territory, but the court
order making the annexation effec-
tive is as yet to be obtained.
1t will be seen from the above that
Norfolk, following the lead of Rich
mond and other towns and cities in
Virginia, is seeking more territory
and more inhabitants in order to
make better show in the census re-
turns. Why don't Fredericksburg
take some action? Other cities have
taken in more territory, have in
creased their population. The de-
tails, question of taxes, water sup
ply, gas. etc.. as they affect the new
territory, can be met in full time,
and to the entire satisfaction of all
parties. Who will make the move?

aspirations. but the fact that Mr. Pin

president Taft has not yet decided

"The president In making his ap'

Eighth circuit, west Of the Mississippi,
Is the most clamorous with candi-
