AFTER THIRTY FEARS
Driving of Tuanel Under Hudson Com-
 pieted Tester day.

Driving of Tnnnel Under Hudson Com-
 pieted Tester day.
 New York, March 11.-Begun thirty years ago, and twice abandoned for long periods because of accidents and financial difficulties, the driving of the bore of the Hudson River tunnel, con- meeting Fourteenth street, Jersey City, with Morton street on Manhattan isl- and, was finished shortly before noon to-day. A few hours later President William G. McAdoo, of the New York and Jersey Railroad company, the con- tractors of the work and party of off, cers and guests made the journey from one end of the completed tunnel to the other.
 So great had been the accuracy of the plans of Chief Engineer Charles M. Jacobs, that when the ends of the tun- mel met there was not the variation of hair in the courses of the Jersey sec- tion and the New York heading When the jack sent the shield forward for the last time, and the last ring of plates was placed in position it was found that the joining of the two sections had been exactly in line both as to level and direction. The bore completed to-day is that of the northern of a pair of tun- nels designed for passenger traffic be- tween Jersey City and New York. Work on the south tunnel is under way and it is expected that both, with their ap- breaches, will be ready for service in little more than year.

TO WIPE OUT FOOL ROOMS.
Mayor Mcclellan in Favor of state
 Legfsiation.

New York, March 11.-Mayor McClel- Ian to-day declared himself in favor of state legislation to prevent the trans- mission of racing news by telegraph or telephone to pool rooms, and providing that those who so furnish it shall be considered guilty of felony. The pen atty provided for the owner, lessor or operator on conviction is Imprisonment for not more than two years and a fine of not more than $2,000
 If the telegraph companies" said the mayor, are responsible for the conduct of the pool rooms and similar places, as has been charged, I see no reason why they should be treated diff ferently from other citizens. You can make it stronger. think that they are even more liable to condemnation than common citizens, as the men who con- trol them are men of grater intelligence and of larger responsibilities If they can be reached by legislation I am in favor of it.

New York, March 11.-After a trip during which he travelled 25,000 miles, and which lasted nine months, Bishop J. c. Hartzell, of the Methodist Epis- oopal church for Africa, arrived this morning on the White Star line steam ship Celtic.
 'sThis is my seventh trip" said the bishop, and when compare it with my first trip it was remarkably good one. She increase of travelling facili- ties and the excellent steamships made the trip a comfortable one. I went down the east coast into Rhodesia and then through Portuguese East Africa; around the west coast to Angela, where we have four hundred miles of mission stations in the interior. then visited Liberia and Madeira I inspected all the mission property, dedicated a nusn~ Der of churches and preached. The most important church visited and ded- icated was the church for the whites at Umtali, East Rhodesia. The work in Liberia shows great progress. MT.

FEAR IN SPRINGFIELD, o.
Withdrawal of Troop. May Rssu,tin
 Further Outbreaks.

Springfield. Ohio, March 11.-There is considerable uneasiness on the part of the city officials and residents in gen. eral lest the withdrawal of the troops from this city will result in further out breaks from the lawless elements among both negroes and whites. Nine companies of state militia were remov- ed to-day.
 The police were notified to-day that six sticks of dynamite and a coil of fuse were stolen last night from the lime quarries west of the city. This fact, coupled with several threats to dynamite public buildings after the de- parture of the troops, has created no small degree of apprehension.
 One of the results of the recent lynch ing has been to incite a spirit of law lessness on the part of mere children. At the Shaffer street school this even ing two white boys caught a negro boy and placed rope around his neck and began to drag him along the ground. He was rescued uninjured.

Bryan now has the right to go ahead and contest for the $5O0O0 bequest, at the same time having the right to prove that the sealed let ter" is a part of the will.
 Judge Gager's decision is largely in MT. Bryan's favor. An abstract of the memorandum and decision is as fol- lows:
 "The action is an appeal from pro- bate The appellants seek to reverse the decree of the probate court refusing to probate certain documents referred to in the reasons os appeal as part of the will of Philo S. Bennett, deceased.
 There can be no question but that the Jurisdiction of the probate court with respect to the probating of wills is statutory and special and that, when a will is offered for probate there is but one question which, in substance, is whether. or not there is valid will, and to. approve or reject it accordingly. It is equally true that the superior court, upon an appeal from a decree of the probate court, probating or refusing to probate a will. takes the place of the probate court from which it came, and can do no more than has been done by that court
 1t is further unquestionably true that the only equity which court of probate can administer must grow out of and be inseparably connected with the matter theFcourt is acting upon
