HANFoRp
Noted shaksspssrean Actor Coming
TO the Brooks.


TO the Brooks.
Mr.. Charles B. Hanford. who will
appear al the Brooks opera house for
the benefit Of the library fund on
Thursday night, Dec. 18th. is without
doubt one of the most popular, as
we'll as capable, actors in America.
Mr. Hanford combines remarkable
histrionic talent with a personality
admired by all with whom he comes
in contact. Il has therefore been
comparatively easy for Mr.. Hanford
10 build up the wide clientage which
follows him in all parts of the coun-
Try. He is greeted everywhere as an
old friend. and patrons OF his per
formances enter the theatre with a
confidence born OF the fact that this
artist has never yet disappointed
them. This season Mr.. Hanford Is
said O have made the greatest sue
cess OF his career in his splendid pro
duction OF Much Ado About Moth

Can for a Downtown Hotel.

To 1RE EDITOR or TUE SrN-Sr, II Ia
surprising that hotel capital continues TO
seek Investments uptown. where for part OF
the year there is not business enough even
to pay the rent when there ia so great n
demand for a modern downtown hotel. where
business is permanent the whole year round
That such hotel run on fair prices would
prove 10 be a profitable investment Is beyond
any question OF doubt whatever, In the
first place. II should be considered that two
thirds OF all the people who come to this city
land below Fourteenth street. and these con-
dltions cannot be changed without moving
Wall street and the skyscrapcrs uptown,
also the wholesale business and shipping
interests. Moreover. the surface railroads
converge in and nearer 10 Cortlandt street
than in any other location, thus making II
possible to take a car line 10 any part of the
city within a block or so.
Downtown is an ideal locatl ion for the CON-
mercinl traveller and n large number of
merchants who come here o purchase stocks
OF goods Then there are thousands OF per-
sons who come here with schemes and enter
prises for the purpose OF Interesting capital
that would prefer downtown hotel for the
reason OF it's beng nearer to the financial

during the hours which they go w and down

To be attractive and make itself a factor IN

along liberal lines something after the prn-

OPPOSE 4 DOT BLE.DECK BRIDGE.
Queens Has Been Too Long Getting Consent
TO a One.Deck Design 10 Begin Again.

A delegation of the Committee of Forty
Of Queens. an organization formed to fight
proposed changes in the plans for the Black
wells Island bridge, called on Mayor Low
yesterday. Bridge Commissioner Linden
thai seeks authority TO modify the plans
adopted by the Tammany administrat ion.
These plans call for the construction of a
sir ge-deck bridge 1875 feet wide. Com
missioner Lindenthal suggests the build
ing of a doube-deck bridge. which would
mean a reduction of 40 feet in width and a
saving Of $5o0OOO in cost
The Spokesman Of the Queens delegation
told the Mayor yesterday that their OPP
position to the revised plans was not on
account OF the new design, but to the delay
which they believed would occur if altera-
tions were decided upon. They pointed
out that il had taken three years TO get the
Aldermen and the Board Of Estimate to
sanction the building Of the bridge, and
they feared that any attempt to revise the
plans might lead to another long delay.
Answering this argument. Mr.. Lindenthal
said he hoped to advertise for bids within
ten days, or a. soon as the new plans could
be formally approved,
J. h. Bloomingd dale and John D. Grim
minis, who own property near the Man
haitian entrance to the bridge. spoke In IA
vor of Commissioner Iindenthal's de-
sign. The Mayor said that before commit
ting himself 10 either plan he would obtain
the advice of a committee OF engineers.

After the strike.

The public will be much gratifed at
the striking miners vote TO return to
work, although they had absolutely no
rights in connection with the latter's
acceptance or refusal of the offered set
tlement. The miners were free to do as
they liked and in so doing. entitled to
absolute freedom from outside criticism
That the public have, however. very
deep and vital concern with the stu-
alton, apart from the coal question,
was disclosed by the remarks Of Schuyl-
kill delegate TO the recent Wilkes Barre
convention:
There are a number OF scsbs In the mine
where we came from DO you suppose Una, we are
going back 20 work alongside themf tel you
now will go back until We clear these
people out. Just give US the chance. tell US to 60
ahead. We did II In 1901 and We can do II now
Give us the power. because II you don't we will
kill every one OF them"
This threat of murder made in open
meeting. and remaining as unrebuked
there "a the actual crimes which brought
out the entire National Guard of Penn
sylvania, calls upon President RoosE-
WELT, Governor STONE, the Strike Com
mission and every honest American ciii-
zen directly or indirectly connected with
the strike to defend. without ceasing and
without compromise, the thousands Of
workingmen thus marked for violence.

KILLED on RAILROADS.
Number Decreased since safety Appliances
ACT Was Passed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2I.-The number Of
passengers killed in railroad accidents
in the United States during the year end, d
June 80, last. according to a bulletin issued
by the Interstate Commerce Commission j..
was 30s. and 0,oS9 were injured The num-
b,r Of employees killed was 2,6i8 Of whom
1907 were trainmen, while the injured num-
bered 1911. of whom 1892 were
trainmen.
While there has been since 1898 a great
increase in the number Of men employed
on railroads, the number of employees
killed the past year shows q diminution of
81 per cent. compared with the deaths
in that year. which is a remarkable and
gratifying result OF the Safety Appliances
act passed In the former year. The dimintl-
ton in the number OF injured il still larger
being no less than 81 per cent.
The employees killed In coupling acci-
dents in 1893 was sS3. and injured l.277
In 1902 the fatalities were las. and the in
juries AIS
In table showing the causes OF accidents
those due to parting of trains account for
the death Of IL trainmen and the injury
OF 500. OF which those involving eleven OF
the deaths and S+e2 ISL, or two-thirds of
the loss. are chargeable TO coupler failures
which the railroad companies have re-
ported az due TO some unknown cause
The report for the last three months Of
the fiscal year shows substantial decreases
over the other three-quarters in passengers
and employees killed and injured In that
period there were .094 collisions and 8l8
deraiments, Of which l57 collisions and i0l
derailments affected passenger trains,
The damage to carr, engines and road
bed amounted TO 81 .si3 s33, or al average
loss Of 3S24 by each collision and 1896 for
each derailment.
In enumerating the more costly and fat a |
accidents within the three months the re-
port says that In some of them the expana-
tions Of causes given by the railroads are
Inadequate. In two cases, both on promi-
nent railroads. the conductors and fremen
are reported az having deliberately taken
chances
Accidents il which the responsibility
rests on men of very limited experience
again appear among these costly cases,
and there is one case in which ali engine
man had been on duty twenty-five hours
On the other hand, one engineman who
fell asleep ON his engine had been on duty
only seven hour, 40 that on the face Of the
report there could be no fault found with
his working hours: but il IL fair question.
the report says, whether very long working
hours, combined with the irreguari,Y
which often ia inseparable from the freight
train service, do not introduce a serious
element If danger by leading TO. If not
