Mount Vernon Site Fight Over Reformary Near Washington
A heated contest over placing a reformary near Mount Vernon pits District officials against the Mount Vernon Ladies Society. The site two miles from Washington on the Virginia shore of the Potomac, about 12,000 acres, is to be purchased for 22 dollars per acre. Society members urge Congress to block the plan, fearing desecration near Washington's home and potential escape risks. Senator du Pont prompted an inquiry to locate the institution, with further investigation expected in Congress.

Norris for Judgeship and a murder in Durango
President Taft reportedly weighs appointing Nebraska insurgent Norris to the Eighth Circuit to replace Van Devanter, a move likely to draw Senate reactions from Bluffs stalwarts and Burkett. If Norris declines, Omaha bar leader Ralph Breckenridge may be offered the post. In Durango, Mexico, Sam McClelland, mine owner, was shot and killed at his mine by Raul Esgara, who fled.
