THRILLS ABOUND :.
AT AERO MEET
Several Narrow Escapes from Death
Mark Closing Day of Chi

Chicago, Sept 22-The narrow escape
from drowning of Beckwith Havens,
youthful pilot of an air boat. perilous air
diving by Lincoln Beachey. and the fall
of Weldon B. Cook and his Curtiss BIZ
plane into a field while he was attempt
ing a flight from his Cicero hangar to
Grant Park marked to-day's aviation
sensations in the last and most success
full day of the international meeting in
Chicago.
Cook started from the Cicero field at .
o'clock. Engine trouble occurred, and he
had to quickly descend. The framework
of his biplane was damaged, but Cook es-
capped injury.
Lincoln Beachey's feats with his air
craft were nothing short of marvellous.
He did everything with his machine but
wreck t, and for several moments the
spectators believed he would even do
this. His dive from 1000 foot altitude
straight down to within twenty feet over
the judges stand, and his quick recovery
while men and women screamed with
fright was thrilling.

Beckwith Havens and Sidney Twist, an

KILLS ACTRESS;
TAKES OWN LIFE
T. H.. Davies, Wrestler, Shoots Lu-
cile May-Hangs Himself in :
Vincennes (Ind.) Jail.

Vincennes, Ind, Sept. o2.-Miss Luz
cile May, beautiful seventeen-year-
old singer with a stock company
which closed an engagement here last
night, was shot and instantly killed
early to-day by Thomas Harry Davies
of Chicago, who. as Harry Hector
posed as a catch s-catch-can wrestler
and ex-middle-weight champion OF
England. The man committed suicide.
The jilting of Davies by the actress
led to the Shooting. Davies came to
Vincennes Saturday morning from Chi
cago and logged the footsteps of the
pretty actress, once entering a street
car and threatening to kill her. She
thought little of the incident, but last
night she was frightened during the
performance when Davies appeared in
the audience and attempted to get on
the stage. Davies was elected.
Just as Miss May and her mother sat
down to a midnight lunch at a restaur-
ant Davies entered and fired four bull
let's into the girls head and body. A
cartridge damned in the barrel pre-
vented Davies from killing himself.
He was arrested, and just before day
light succeeded in committing suicide
in Jail by hanging himself with a
towel rope.
A letter from Miss May. written Sep
TENDER IL, was found on Davies. 1t
disclosed her reason for jilting him
because she had discovered that he had

HEART BEATS ACROSS
THE SEA LATEST
SCIENTIFIC POSSIBILITY

Cambridge, Mass. Sept. 22.-That 1t is
now possible for a physician to note the
heart beats of a patient who may be on
the other side of the world is the asser-
ton of DR.. Percy E. Brown, of the Har-
ward Medical School. An instrument
that would make this possible is now
installed in the Harvard Medical School
DR.. Brown says:
There is practically no limit to the
distance by which through this method
the palpitations of the heart could be
seen. With the proper attachments. the
heart beats could be carried around the
world. The only difference between
transmitting the heart beats 100 miles
and sending them around the world
would be the delay due to the longer
distance.
"An the patient has to do is to place
his or her hands in a solution OF warm
salt water, the electric current from the
hands. which are the positive and mega
tive poles, is carried by wires to the in
strument which shows the heart beats.

GIBSON PUTS IN E
STRENUOUS DAY
Lawyer Accused Of Murder Holds
Long Conference with At
torneys for Defense.
IS CERTAIN OF AcaU1rTAL

New York. Sept. although Sunday
Gibson since he was lodged in the county
jail at Goshen, N. Y. charged with hav-
ing murdered Rosa NJ. Szabo on Green
wood Lake on July 16 he was visited
by his counsel in both the criminal action
and the proceedings in the Surrogate
Court to have him removed as executor
of the dead woman's estate. The ac-
cused man and the lawyers spent sew
eral hours in conference.
In preparation for the conference Glib
son had prepared in detail his defense
to the murder charge. on which he will
be given a hearing one week from to-
day. Robert H. Elder. a former as
sistant District Attorney Of Kings Coun-
ty, and chief counsel for Gibson, was
not disposed to discuss his case after
leaving the prisoner. beyond expressing
his belief In his clients innocence.
Makes Defense Clear.
Charles Goldzier. another one Of Glib
sons lawyers. has made 1t clear that
the foundation OF his defense will be a
denial that the woman who was Gibson's
client and who was drowned in Green
wood Lake was not the Austrian woman
in whose interest the Austro- Hungarian
consul general started the investigation
that resulted in Gibsons apprehension.
In other words, Gibson will maintain
that the relatives and friends OF Mrs.
Rosa Menschik Szabo. OF Austria. who
have identified the drowned woman, have
been misguided by a physical resem-
blance between her and another woman
OF the same name. In support OF this
contention 1t is purposed TO produce the
mother of the woman who was drowned
and by the very allegations Of Gibson's
accusers that the mother Of the Austrian
woman is dead prove that there were
really two women.
Gibson was in = cheerful mood when his
lawyers arrived. When his visitors left
they wore an air of confidence. Mr..
Elder declared that he was satisfied with
the defense prepared, and added:
Eats Hearty Dinner.
II am satisfied that Gibson is innocent
Of the crime charged. I can't believe,
furthermore. that Orange County will in
dict this man on the uncorroborated evil
dence OF DR.. Schultze, and go to the ex-
pense of a long trial in which his con-
viction is unlikely
Gibson did not dine until 2:3o. He then
placed a nosegay, sent with the meal.
in the lapel of a new suit he was wear
ing. and commenting on the size of the
meal laughingly told Jailer Sanderson
that he would not require any supper.

ry up" he told one Of his callers. IT

cember at the corner of Forsythe and

VOTERS TO DECIDE
ISSUE In COUNTY
Agitation Over Proposed Removal
of Courthouse Will Be Settled
at Polls.

The voters OF Alexandria County to-
morrow will decide whether or not Alex
andria County Courthouse shall be re-
moved from its present location, at Fort
Myer Heights. to Rosslyn.
The removal of the county seat has
been advocated for some time, the prin-
cipal support OF the proposition coming
from Rosslyn. Citizens associations
throughout the county have discussed
the matter pro and con and have played
a considerable part in the campaign.
Question has arisen regarding the ef
feet the removal Of the courthouse will
have on the title OF the county to the
land upon which the county buildings
now stand. Opponents OF the proposed
removal have set forth the claim that
II the courthouse is removed the land
and buildings will revert. under a pro-
vision OF the deed by which the prop
erty was acquired. to the original own
ers. together with the buildings now
standing.
On the other hand. proponents Of the
removal declare that there Is no provi-
sion under which the land would revert
to the Fort Myer Heights Land Com
pany. from which II was obtained. II is
explained that the deed under which the
land was donated to Alexandria County
in 1898 provides that upon the erection
Of courthouse within five years from
the date Of the deed the title should go
to the county for all time.
Advocates OF the change in site claim
the present courthouse Is inaccessible.
being too far removed from the larger
towns OF the county. but that the build
ings could be put to good use for school
purposes. relieving congested conditions
in other sections
The cost OF removal would be about
slt.o0S. A new courthouse. Jail, and
other county buildings would have TO
be erected in Rosslyn.
The special election to decide upon the
change in site recently was ordered by
Judge J. B. T. Thornton. of the Circuit
Court for Alexandra County. The vot-
ing will be done at the regular voting
places, and the polls will be open from
sunrise to sunset. It is expected that
a large vote will be polled. inasmuch
as Alexandra County is greatly agitated
over the question.
