There is every Indication that the Greater

The main object of the new association is to

MUST NOT SEE HER CHILDREN.
Five Men Unanimous AbOnt This Womsn's
Case,

The Appellate Division OF the Supreme
Court. in unanimous opinion handed
down yesterday. decided that Mrs. Mary D.
Woodhouse is not entitled to see her three
infant children. This reverses the decision
at Special Term, which allowed her to see
the children at intervals.
Joseph H, Woo dhouse obtained divorce
from his wife, Mary, in October, 1901, and
the decree then entered gave him the entire
custody of the children. Supreme Court
Justice Blanchard subsequently modified
this decree so as to allow her to see the
children at certain times. holding that
notwithstanding her unwifely conduct it
could not harm the children to be permit ed
to see her occasionally. Woodhouse ap-
pealed from this modification, and in re-
versing the decision of Justice Blanchard
Justice Patterson, writing for the court,
says:
Where the guilty wife continues her re-
lations with her parnmour. and leads an i'm
moral and de egrading life. there is no propriety
in interfering with the jud gment which has
separated her from her children, nor should
they again be brought under her influence
in any way. until she has given evidence
of cOntrtiou and reformation, We're the
defendants life now blameless, q different
view would be taken. but, as it Is. we cannot
allow such precedent to stand, as would be
made by an afiirmGnce OF this order

with George Davis, alias Eothner, and IL
was alleged that she still continued these

Frederick Gerken was fined tS by Magis-

yesterday for threatening Policeman Henry
D. Ward of the Broadway squad. Ward
testified that while passing the Irving
National Bank Building at Chambers street
and West Broadway, which is owned by Mr.
Gerken, he saw MIR. Gerken engaged in a
fight with truckman.
He separated the combat tants he said.
and ordered them to move on, at which
Gerken became angry and abusive.
He told me that he would make bum
out Of me and have me kicked OF the police
force, said the policeman.
why didn't you arrest the truckman'
demanded Mr.. Gerken.
There was just as much reason for
arresting you as for arresting him, was
the reply. -The. truckman was much
smaller than you"
THE truckman called me q four-eyed
pup, shouted Gerken, -and the policeman
seized me as though was o murderer
Il did not seize you until you threatened
to break me and defled me to arrest you,'
said the policeman. But you deserved
to be arrested because you were fighting
with man half your size. You could lick
him in the ring with one hand.
Il don't make my living in the ring.
retorted Gerken, as he paid his fine.

Structure and Nearly Double It's Ca
pacity for Rapid Transit--Cost OF
Changes Estimated at es,1OO 600.
Bridge Commissioner Lindenthal has
sent to the Mayor the plans he has pre-
pared and the description Of them for
converting the Brooklyn Bridge into a
double decked structure. Mr.. Lnoenthal
has had his engineers at work for months
on the plans which have now been COM
pleted and which call for the practical
rebuilding of the bridge.
In his report Mr.. Lindenthal says the
suspended structure Of the Brooklyn Bridge
: is in a wornout and weakened condition,
requiring constant and expensive repairs
to keep it safe' The rebuilding OF the
bridge has become imperative, but he
does not advocate the undertaking of
this work until after the Manhattan Bridge
is finished The Commissioner says

300 cars per hour can run, will then be able to

That number Is probably the limit OF cars
per hour that could be drained into the streets
radiating g from the Brooklyn end of the Bridge
without causn congestion OF street trafhc
during rush hours.
Greater relief and more rapid transit must
be obtained by elevated railroad trains. for
which four tracks are provided, In place OF

wagon traffic. and adding two. promenades
for pedestrians. There will also be more
space for telegraph wires. postal tubes and
other equipment on the Bridge structure.
IL is intended to place seairways and eleva-
tors at each anchorage. to make the Bridge
accessible from the streets below. The stone
towers will be somewhat heightened In order
the cable bearings more accessible for inspec-
ton. At present the top OF the tower is ac-
cessible only with great difficulty. and not
without danger.
The roadways will be 1reproof They
will have steel channel foundation, with
wooden block paving. Throughout the struc-
ture is intended to be moderni2ed and brought

Mr.. Lindenthal estimates that the work

the work the Commissioner has under
taken ia that his plans may be found useful
