BRIDGE TERMINAL FACILITIES.

Two plans for relieving the jam at the trolley
loops in the Manhattan station of the Brooklyn
Bridge have recently been proposed hy Mr..
Brown. engineer in the Controllers office.
One called for the construction of twelve loops
and the abandonment of the cable system alto
gcthcr The other is Il modified form Of the
same proposition, and provides only six loops.
In this shape the scheme receives Mr.. CIRCUITS
sanction, and is put forward his own 1t is
now almost identical with one feature Of the
programme recommended by Mr.. Shea'S special
commission last autumn. although at that time
II was proposed 10 carry the trolley tracks up
to the mezzannc floor whereas the latest sug-
gestion is 10 elevate them only a few feet above
their present level.
The Controllers plan is not without merit. II
gives promise OF relief in very short time. pos
sibly two months: it will probably not prove
costly. 1t distributes the traffic among six
tracks instead Of four, and. finally. II separates
or aims to separate the incoming from ,he out
going passengers. The last of these advantages
is the greatest, and is the principal recommen-
dation OF the scheme If no serious engineering
difficulties are likely TO be encountered in its
execution. and if no better plan is brought for
ward in the near future the people who
the bridge will doubtless favor it's adoption.
Mr. Browns project in it's latest form. is not
open to all Of the objections which Bridge Com
missioner Lindenthal raised 10 his earlier propo-
stion. but the changes apparently do not meet
them all. Raising the tracks will lessen the al
ready scanty head room which the cars have
a still weghtier reason for temporary delay
though, is the Commissioners assurance 10 the
Committee Of Fifty in Brooklyn that he is him
self at work a scheme for relieving conges-
tion. and that he hopes to make it public within
a fortnight This announcement shows that
Mr.. Lindenthal has not allowed the treatment
of his other plan by the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit and ferry companies TO discourage him alto
gether. Until he is ready to describe II every
other suggestion should lie on the table

THE RIGHTS or SUSPECTS.

A young woman has been held in custody bv

pcion of having had something to do with the
death of a young man who was found in a
hotel unconscious from bullet wound |; IS

piled her with questions sought to get a con
feSsion or some damaging admissions from her
under cover of misleading statements about me

man was alive, had charged her with shooting
him, and would soon confront her. when. as a
matter of fact, he was dead aud had not spoL en-

time the police, under orders from the 3Is-
trict Attorneys office, prevented her from see
ing her counsel or having his aid while being
questioned; and also that the negro hallboy Of
the hotel was induced to identify her as The
woman who accompanied the dead man bv first
seeing her alone in a cell and being asked If she
was not the person sought.
