BOARD OF TRADE
MEETS.
President DAILY Calls for
a Special Discussion Of
the Improvement Of
Montgomery st.
HENKRIcKsoN BILL ENDORSED
Public Hearing on the Meas
ure Will Be Held Within
the Next Two Weeks.

A special meeting of the Board of
Trade was called last night by President
DAILY to hear the report of the committee
on the proposed widening of lower Mont
gomery street.
The bill drawn by Charles Hendrick-
son, counsel of the Hudson County So
ciety of Architects, to be presented to the
Legislature, was adopted by the Board
after number of amendments had been
made thereto, one of which was the tax
ing out the words principal street" of
the city. The question arose as to what
street was the principal street of the
city.
Counsellor John Hech made numerous
objections to the construction of the bill.
Architect Hugh Roberts, member of
the committee said he had been told,
by well-known lawyer that the section
concerning the placing of the trolley, tel
egraph and trolley poles underground
would not invalidate the act
A public hearing is to be given on the
bill within two weeks.
The Board decided that the matter
every property owner interested should
be informed as to the scope and provis-
ions of the bill.
The bill provides that the city shall be
assessed for the improvement if the bill
goes through.
The bill with the amendments adopted
by the Board last night was left in the
hands of the committee to be delivered
to Senator Hudspeth today for introduc-
ton
The proposed Improvement will be
a costly one and there are number of
property owners along the section it is
proposed to widen who oppose thepro-
ject.
One of the principal objects of the
proposed Improvement is the relieving
traffic in that section which has increase
in such measure as to become intoler-
able when the trucks are delayed by fer
ryboats during heavy fogs, causing
jam or blockade of all the streets adj
jacent to the Pennsylvania ferries.
These delay trolley traffic.

FATAL SURETIES
William st. Clair Taken to
New York on Charges
of Forgery Lays His
Downfall to Horse
racing Tips.

William 3. st. Clair, twenty-eight
years old, of No. 800 Eighth street, was
arrested last night by Detective Frank
Bennett, with Detective George w. Pep
persted, of New York, as a fugitive from
justice. He is accused of forgery.
The complainants are A. Lansing
Baird, of the law firm of Hubbel &
Baird, of No. 206 Broadway, New York,
and Edward Robinson, proprietor of the
Olympic Hotel, No. 1877 Sixth avenue,
New York. The amount of money OBJ
tanned by st. Clair through the various
alleged forgeries amount to hundreds of
dollars it is claimed st. Clair, said to
be stenographer, who was employed
by the law firm of Hubbel & Baird. His
reputation has been regarded as first
class.
The arrest took place in Kenny's cafe
at Pavonia avenue and Grove street

Clair when the latter walked into the
cafe. Bennett walked up to him and
told him who he was and said Chief
Murphy would like to have a few words
with him at police headquarters. st.
Clair's face blanched. He apparently
felt his position keenly. He is well
known in the horse shoe section.
Detective Peppersted says that Pro-
prietor Robinson of the Olympic hotel in
New York has a letter from ST. Clair
offering to make good the amount OBJ
tanned by forgery from his salary In

ONE BORE
COMPLETED
Passage Under the Hudson
River to New York At
Last Open.
AFTER TWENTY-F0UR YEARS
People Ambitious to Be the
First to Walk Under the
River Haunt the Shore.
AFTER TWENTY-FOUR YEARS

After twenty-four years Of persistent
effort at tunnelling the North River one
of the bores, the north one, was complet-
ed yesterday afternoon when the two
ends of the steel shafts approaching
each other from both sides of the river
were connected.
At noon yesterday it was announced
that but three feet of silt and sand re-
mained to be bored before the connection
could be made. The tunnel will not,
however, be in condition to walk through
for several days. The headings must be
coupled, the shields taken apart and re-
moved and other engineering details to
be carried out.
President w. G. McAdoo, of the New
York and Jersey Railroad Company,
which is building the tunnel, completing
the north bore would be history in a
mighty short time.
Flagpoles were recently erected on the
buildings at each end of the shaft several
days ago and flags therefrom are floating
today. When the headings are properly
coupled there will be a big celebration.
Hundreds of people are anxious to be the
first to walk from shore TO shore under
the North River and they have haunted
the New York and Jersey City ends of
the shaft for several days. They have
thus far been disappointd. The tunnel is
lighted by electricity and when the coup
ling is complete walking through it will
be easy. The approaches will not be
completed for a year or SO.
Several hundred feet of the twin tun-
mel, or south bore has been cut and con-
ditions are favorable for putting that
through in record time. Since last Thurs
day the daily progress has averaged 13
feet 4 inches, and twenty-four feet is ex-
pected in a day or two.
For twenty-four years the north tun-
mel has been building. 1t was planned
in 1874. The tunnel is more than mile
long. An English company started it,
but after building more than half way
leak occurred and twenty men were
drowned in the air chamber. The COM
pany failed three years later and the tun-
mel lay idle for seven years or more. An
other company tried it and failed, too.
The present company took up the pro-
ject some years ago. Since it took hold
only one life has been lost in the tunnel.
A man was caught in the machinery at
the drum around which runs a cable
hauling the dirt cars and was killed
Such an accident might have happened
outside.
Once. last fall the waters did get into
the tunnel while some rock was being
blasted. A whole section of 300 feet had
to be abandoned till clay mattress
could be laid over the hole in the river
bed and the tunnel cleared of water.
