ers during the day. Prominent poll
ticians were among them.
Lloyd G. Griscom, who urged
Roosevelt to allow his name to go
before the state committee as tenn
porary chairman Of the New, York
Republican convention, said today
that he intends to make pilgrimage
to Beverly. He said he would call
on Taft at the summer capital some
time before August 80. He refused
to say what he intended to discuss
with Taft. Importance is attached
to the announcement of the pro-
posed visit, however, owing to the
fact that Grlscom made 1t plain that
he would be in Beverly before Au-
gust 80. Roosevelt will speak at Os-
sawatomie, Kansas, August 81.
It has been reported that in this
speech Roosevelt will define his at
titude on insurgency, probably COM
ing out squarely in favor of the in
surgent movement. Roosevelt has
held NUMBER or conferences Win
former Secretary Garfield and for
mer Forester Pinchot in regard 10
this speech and it is believed that
both urged him to make his declar-
alton for insurgency very strong.
Politicians speculating on Girls

that he will let Taft know what
stand Roosevelt intends to take and
that the qeustion of the attitude Of
the administration toward the insur-
gent movement will be discussed.

Libby, Mont, Aug. 19.-Mrs. Vera
Prosser, of Seattle and Cleveland, on
trial charged with murder for killing
her divorced husband aboard a pas
senger train near Libby June 1, was
acquitted by jury here today.
A few minutes before o'clock
the jury reported to Judge j. e.
Erickson, saying that it had reached
verdict. The attorneys were called
into the courtroom and Foreman Cliff
ford Clay announced that the jury
had found the defendant not guilty
on the grounds of self defense"
In an interview shortly after her
acquittal Mrs. Prosser said that she
was undecided as to her future plans,
but that she probably would leave
Immediately for the East. She said
she could not find words to express
her thanks to the jurymen and
those who befriended her.
Mrs. Clay, wife of the foreman of
the jury, went to see Mrs. Prosser
as she was packing her suit case in
her cell, preparatory to leaving for
her rooms in the Hotel Libby, and
congratulated her in behalf of the
jury.
County Attorney Maiden shook her
hand and said personally he was glad
she was free. Mrs. Prosser only sue
ceeded in shaking hands with a few
of the jury men, on account of her
intense excitement. Senator Long,
her attorney, believing that Mrs.
Prosser would be acquitted, reserved
rooms for her at the Hotel Libby last
night.
Mrs. Prosser said to Sheriff Shana-
han:
you can throw that medicine all
away. l wont need it any longer"
Mrs. Prosser said to one of the
jailers last night while waiting for
the jury:
you might send my trunk to the
depot as l will be leaving tomorrow.

arriving at the verdict They did not

THE NORTHERN NECK RAIL
ROAD

1t is very much to be hoped that
the agitation for the construction Of
a railroad through the Northern
Neck of Virginia will prove success
full. 1t is a question that has often
been agitated before, but one that
has seldom gone far beyond that
stage. In view of the possibilities
of development in this section it
seems strange that the eye Of the
speculator has not turned in this di-
rection to a purpose long ere this.
There is no greater trucking section
in Virginia than the Northern Neck,
not even excepting the vicinity of
Norfolk, and yet it is undeveloped
for lack of transportation facilities.
All kinds of small fruits and vege-
tables grow early and in lavish pro-
fusion in this naturally favored sec
ton, and yet the wealth which these
crops would bring the people is de-
MED them on account of lack of ia
elites to get them out except by
the boat line to Baltimore, while
in addition trade which out to come
to Fredericksburg and Richmond
goes to Baltimore and Northern
cities. A railroad up the Northern
Neck would, in a short time, we be-
lieve, be paying proposition to its
owners, and at the same time it
would bring prosperity to a section
which nature has favored abund-
antly.

MAKE FALMOUTH BRIDGE
FREE

We do not, as a rule, make sug-
gestions as to the management of the
internal affairs of the counties in
this vicinity, but if we are correctly
informed as to the facts it appears
to us that it would be the part of
wisdom for the good people of Stat
ford county to vote, in the election
this fall, to make Falmouth bridge
free to the public generally.
We are informed that the county
derives no revenue whatever from
bridge tolls, but that all tolls and the
keepers house go to the bridge
keeper as compensation for looking
after the bridge and seeing that it is
kept in repair. while for actual re-
pairs he and his helpers are paid in
addition. We do not vouch for the
truth of this information, but if it is
true it would seem to be a losing
game for the county. An Inspector
for the bridge could be secured, no
doubt, for the house rent, and moth
ing in a financial way would be lost
by abolishing the tolls. On the con-
trary there would be more effort, we
assume, on the part of Fredericks-
burg to build up and maintain the
road leading to the Falmouth bridge
if the people of this city had free
use of the bridge. But whether
this would be the result or not we
feel sure that if no revenue is being
derived from the tolls, and the peo-
pie know it, the tolls will be abolished,
for there can be no reason for main
tanning the system unless there is
some profit in it.

BIpLANE TURNS soMERsAULT

Escapes OniHJuTcu'
Hampstead, n Y, July 27-Turning
a complete somersault in the air in a
twenty-five-mile breeze on the aviation
grounds east of Garden City, George
Russell. flying in a Curtiss biplane,
landed on the ground without so much
as a scratch to show after his re-
markable escape. The biplane landed
on the ground with the engine in the
air and the machine partly wrecked.
Russell had made one very fast
round of the course at an average
height of about thirty feet. He main
tained excellent control of his ma
chine, regardless of the force Of the
wind, that REPEATEDLY swung the after
part of his biplane about in a most
dangerous fashion. After one lap of
the course Russell came down and ran
along the ground near what is known
as the graveyard" for 300 feet at a
forty-mile clip. When about to rise
the soft ground of the graveyard"
caused the tail of his biplane to swerve
just as his elevating planes were
raised.
In an instant the machine had turn
ed q most complete somersault in the
air and landed on its back. Russell
was thrown free from the wreckage.

WORLDS GREATEST

TRUSTEES OF COLUMBIA UNI
 VERsITY MAKE KNOWN PLANS
 FOR IMPROVEMENT OF PHYSI-

 coo.
 New York. Jan. 19-With a view to establishing in New York city the greatest medical school in the world and creating one of the worlds cen tres of medical teaching and research, the trustees of Columbia University have made known their plans for the improvement of the College of Physlc- ians and Surgeons. The entire plan as proposed will involve an expendl- ture of $3.000000.
 It provides for the complete recon struction and removal of the College of Physicians and Surgeons from US Itresent site in West Fffty-ninth street, near Tenth avenue to Morningside Heights, where the other faculties or Columbia University are now sltuat- ed The site of the new school will be the square block bounded by Am sterdam avenue. 116th street, Morning side avenue, and 117th street.
 When the university purchased half l of this block last week at auction there was a great deal of speculation 1 as to the source of the funds Wltn which the property was purchased, and also regarding the use the trustees | would make of the ground It came out yesterday that the new bulld'ng was obtained for the medical school site, and that the money was furnished l by four donors.
 | William K. Vanderbilt, George J. Gould, Frank A. Munsey. and fourth anonymous person. contributed jointly | the amount necessary to acquire nan of the block, which measures 450 feet l t,v 200 feet. The other half of the site is now owned by Mrs. Drexel of Phil adelphia, and the trustees expect III the near future to acquire this plot with money provided by gift

 express it:
 Medical students not only at Go

 students of medicine into intimate re
