PLAN S4,OOO,OOO BRIDGE
TO SPAN POTOMAC RIVER

WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-Plans for
a "A. 900 600 bridge that would link the
capital with Virginia, 1t was an
nounced today, are being considered
by the House commerce committee.
The difficulty facing the committee
at present is said to be the selection
of the site for the Virginia terminus
of the structure.
1t is proposed to make the bridge a
structure that will stand for centuries
and will admit of the passage Of such
shipping as uses the upper Potomac
river. Under the tentative plans. the
bridge would have eighty feet of
clearance from the rivers surface,
thus doing away with the necessity of
draws. The details are being worked
out by a subcommittee, and a report
is expected in the immediate future.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-Little by little
the secret is being probed of the mys-
terious woman of 100000 years ago,
whose skull, found some months ago
at Piltdown. Sussex, by Charles Daw-
son, fascinated and puzzled scientists
the whole world over.
Saturday a canine tooth belonging
to the skull was found. In form 1t
closely resembled the Smith Wood
ward restoration, but is smaller in
size and more pointed. 1t bears the
same evidence of having chewed
roots and gritty substances as the
teeth already found in the jaws.

drowned in Barnegat bay yesterday
after falling from his motorboat. Sew

and one got near enough for mem
Der to snatch his eyeglasses from his
face, but the body sank in their pres

eral hours.
1t then took two hours or more to
locate the body and bring it to the
surface.
Mr.. Bleloch was one of the youngest
members of the Pennsylvania Legis-

himself so creditably as to win as
signment to three important commit
tees In the House. He was married
and his wife and a daughter of 6
years survive him.

Eight lives were the toll of Jersey

clearly foretold to her by the falling

Arthur had said goodbye to her on
Saturday afternoon and had left to
visit his uncle, Jason Tester, and his
cousin at Bound Brook.

the river, and, after repeated at

Looking around, he noticed his cat
crouching and gazing at the reptile
steadily with mesmeric effect, for the
snake seemed unable to move, and

open cot in the veranda, he woke to
find on one side of the bed huge
cobra with head erect ready to strike,
on the other the gllstening green eyes
of his cat. The snake remained quite
still, so he ran into the room to fetch
gun and, coming back, poked the
reptiles head with the barrels; but
It did not take the slightest notice,
and seemed like a stuffed and llfeless
creature.
He then placed his hand in front OF
the cats eyes by way of experiment.
