Malalane bridge, which crosses Hector

between the Transvaal and this place Ac-
cording to one report dynamite was ex-

Another report states that the bridge was
damaged before the arrival of the traia,

NOT GIVING UP AIR POWER.

President Vree1and -COrrects an En-
rOneOus ImDressiOn.
NEW YORK, June 19.-In an interview
published with Mr.. H. H. Vreeland, Presi-
dent Of the Metropolitan Street Railway,
he stated: Our experience in providing
underground electric traction for the
Fifty-ninth and Twenty-third Street
crosstown lines demonstrated that the re-
moval and replacement of the pipe OBJ
structions along the avenues was so costly
as to render underground crosstown build
ing almost prohibitive, and We are, in con-
sequence, making extensive experiments
with traction systems, which will obyiate
this great outlay, as, for instance, on the
Twenty eighth and Twenty ninth Street
lines, with compressed air, and on the
Thirty-fourth Street line, where we are
preparing to test the storage battery sys-
TEN.
1T would have been quite as reasonable
to have said we were going to abandon
electricity when we began experiments
with air power as to say now We are to
abandon air power because We undertake
to experiment with the storage battery.
So far from abandoning the use of air
power. we. are equipping the Twenty
eighth and Twenty-ninth Street roads with
new heavy rails and are awaiting an en-
tire new equipment of cars with a differ
ent type of motor from those now in use,
in which all the defects experimentally
developed in the first lot are eliminated.
These cars will be delivered within few
weeks"

accounted for.

destruction OF the Malalane bridge. The
Beers suspect that the destruction Of the

YALE TRADITION BROKEN.
Mory's Old Tavern pespoiIcd of Tw,
of Its Relics.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, June 19.-For the
first time in the history of Yale, vandals
have despoiled Mory's of two of its relics.
Mory's is the old tavern at Temple and
Centre Streets that for generations has
been the gathering place Of Yale under
graduates. IL is part of the tradition of
Mory's that no matter what may be the
occasion, and no matter how wild the hi
larity, not picture nor a mug, nor a
fence rail, nor table lid, with innumerable
initial carvings, is removed from wall or
mantel.
With this explanation 1t becomes appar-
ent that Louie" was shocked to find two
old pictures gone from the front room wall.
One is of all examination of many years
ago, with two tutors keeping watchful eve
on hundred students at little circular
tables, some of whom are cribbing. The
intrinsic value of the picture was but nom
inal, yet it was highly priced The other
picture missing is an old print OF New
Haven Green in 1890.

This analysis OF history shows that there have
been good and substantial reasons why the ma
jority of Vice Presidents have not succeeded TO
the Presidency by election. One OF the most
potent reasons in recent years has been that
conventions have not nominated candidates
for Vice President fitted or known to be
fitted for the higher Office They have a rule

There is no reason why tobacco should not be
added to Georgias list of crops. 1t has been
demonstrated beyond doubt that nearly all the

the risk and annoyance which characterize other
crops. Tobacco has the advantage, too, OF be
