The West Side board of trade met at
its rooms in Clark's building, in spec
isl session last evening. for conSidera-
tion of the bridge question. Dr. M, j.
Williams presided, and after a few
preliminariss, Councilman J. Ellsworth
Davies spoke at length on the subject
of the bridges He thought that the
people did not want to defeat the
bridges, for the time had come when
they were n positive necessity
When the point that thu Lin
don street bridge would not
serve the lower end Of Hyde Park was
raised, Councilman Davies explained
that the Lackawanna avenue viaduct
was soon to coma and that the viaduct
would mainly benefit the lower end of
this side, With the Linden street
bridge up, half the traffic of the North
End would be brought to the West
Side.
Councilman Duhigg was also one Of
the speakers. Although he was Il
bridge man and advocated the pro.
posed bridges at every opportunity
which presented itself. he was an en-.
thusiastic supporter of the Lacka-
wanna avenue viaduct, for he looked
upon that railroad crossing as death
trap. Councilman Thomas of the
Fourth ward and Councilman Viii
liams of the Fifth ward, both
spoke in favor of the
bridges. After Chairman Williams
had spoken on the subject City En-.
ginesr Phillips was granted the use Of
the floor. The city engineer promptly
answered all the high tax arguments
of the anti-bridge men, by showing
that the rate of taxation would not bS
any higher than at present He showed
plans for the viaduct and explained
them. A committee was appointed to
see the property holders and find out
what their claims for damages We're.

WITNESSES FOR BRoCk WAY
Former Inmates OF the Eimira Reform atory
Say They Were Wen Treated.


The investigation OF the charges OF cruelty
made against Superintendent Brockway OF tho
Elmira Reformatory was continued yesterday
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Testimony In favor
OF Mr.. Drockway was given by fourteen more
former inmates OF the institution. making
twenty eight In oil. The committee required
these witnesses to give their real names ad-
dresses. and occupations but these partcu-
lars were kept secret.
Tho witnesses said that they had no com.
plants to make. and did not know OF any III
treatment. Those who had been punished
said that they thought the punishment had
not been excessive and had done them good.
They told the trades they had learned In the
reformatory. Some OF them said they wers
out on parole. but that their testimony would
not be affected by that fact
James +, Kelly. an offlosr OF the Court Of
General Sessions. testified to the general I'm.
provement In the mental moral. and physical
condition OF a relative who Is confined in the
institution.
Witness II kept the record Of paddlings for
cons we're psddsd an svsry
week. he knew nothing about the padding
personally. except on two occasions when he
himself The men laughed whom they came
out because they wanted to give the impress
ness thought that il was not advisable to in.
fiict corporal punishment on all the inmates OF
the reformatory. but that 30 per cent OF them
needed padding. The men who needed IL
most came from New York and Brooklyn.
Men from the country were more sensitive
John Wilson" n German. said that he had
learned the English language. the painters
trade. and the difference between right and
wrong at the reformatory. and that Superin-
tendent Brockway had always treated him ike
a gentleman.
Witness II was padded twice. The record
showed that he had received fifteen strokes;
but he denied It,

have killed me-"
Witness ~ was recorded as Edward Ransom.
He said he was Yale graduate oil the class %
80. and was sentenced for grand lArceny IN
the railway mail service. He was definitely
discharged last November. He thought he
was Justly treated there. but he did not Ap.
prove OF the monitor system. The monitors
would use their power to work of personal
spite. He thought the influence of the Insti-
tuition good. and as an expert witness he
testified in favor OF corporal punishment lie
thought religious services and the visits o.
women were OF no benefit to the In mates lie
was the only witness for the defence who
ever heard Brockway swear. HesAid he heard
