A reporter interviewed Mr.. Shaler Smith,
who built the bridge, last evening, Mr,
Smith had Just returned from Chicago, and
when IN st. Louis hO heard Of the accident.
MIR. Smith said he could not imagine what
part Of It had given way, He knew II was
the south deck link span and that was all,
or he might bo able to offer theory, The
gentleman added he was wholly taken by
surprise when he heard OF the accident,
lie had regarded the bridge since It's recon.
struction as ono OF the safest in
tho country, The floor was the
only part that he had considered
weak, previous to the accident OF 70. Hay.
ing reconstructed the floor after that acei.
dent Mr.. Smith had thought 1t impossible
for the structure to give way,
Mr.. Edward Bates, an assistant OF Mr..
Smith, was also seen, but he too, had
nothing to offer. He, like his superior, re.
garded the bridge as one Of the strongest
structures In the country, and was incredu.
lous when he heard Of last nights acCi-
dent. Mr. Bates was unable 10 conceive
how one Of the spans could have given
lway. After he examined the bridge, he
too, might be able to form some idea as to
the causes which led to the disaster.
