MIGHTY STEEL SPAN
NEW SUSPENSION BRIDGE ACROSS
EAST RIVER, NEW YORK.
Old Link Connecting Manh haitian With
Brooklyn OutshOne by Its Great
Rival-Size and Capacity Of the New
Structure-Chief Engineer Buck

Structure-Chief Engineer Buck.
The formal opening Of the new sus-
pension bridge across the East river
Dec. - marks the practical compile
ton of the second of the four links of
steel that eventually will connect the
OF Brooklyn and Queens. situated on
Long Island. and all component parts
Of the great city of New York.
The new bridge, known as the Will
liamsburg bridge. is one Of the most re-
markabe structures Of its kind in the
world. AS suspension bridge it stands
unrivaled, and as an engineering feat
only one bridge can approaeh tits
near neighbor, the Brooklyn bridge,
which has now lost its diSinetiveness.
The completion of its t3' greater rival
has robbed the old Structure Of much Of
its glory, but the old structure is still
the more beautiful OF Tie two.
The greatest contrast between the
two lies in their relative strength.
Roughly, the Williamsburg bridge is
four times as strong as the older struc-
ture. Each of its four cables is eight
cen inches in diameter six inches great
er than those in the old bridge, each OF
the cables containing 1880 Nc. ) steel
wires The breaking strength OF each
cable is $1,000 tons. and their combined
weight and fittings is .J,C00 tons. TAr
actual dead load which they carry Is
5000 tons. and they are calculated %
carry a moving weight Of 4..59O tons.
The engineers estimate that the stls5
pension power of the bridge is four
times greater than the maximum de-
mand that will be made upon it.
The width of the new structure is us
feet as compared With the eighty-fve
feet Of the Brooklyn bridge, and the
character and amount of its traffic
will be proportonatelN greater: 1t has

Announcement Shocks Wife
of tJle German ambassador,
Who Is Ill at Her Home

WASHINGTON. March 9.-Baroness
Speck Won Sternberg, wife of the Ger
man ambassador, received brief dis
patch to-day from her uncle, Arthur
Langham of Louisville, announcing the
death Of her father, Charles Ward
Langham, on his estate in Southern
California.
The German ambassador at once
cabled the news to Mrs. Langham and
her second daughter. Miss Violet Lang
ham, who are spending the winter in
Southern Italy.
The news was severe shock to the
Baroness. Her first decision was to
leave on the evening train for the Pa
ciffc Coast, but she has been i'll for sew
eral days, and at the urgent wish or
her family probably will not attempt
the trip. Miss Ivy Langham, whose en-
gagement to Lieutenant Commander de
Faramond, naval attache of the French
embassy, has just been announced, IS
spending the winter here with her sis
ter. The ambassador is unable to leave
his post here, and has asked Arthur
Langham to come TO Washington to
consult about arrangements for the
funeral.

BACON ENTERS PROTEST.

These qualities" continued Bacon,
give Frederick his rank in history
but it is inconsistent with the traditions
and hopes of the people of the United
States that there should be erected
here monument to the memory OF
the man who perhaps to a greater ex-
tent than any other man of modern
times was a type of absolutism."
Bacon also contended that no au-
thority short of Congress with pro-
priety could assign a site in the ma
tional capital for statues.
Lodge called attention to the fact
that the ground on which the statue
to Frederick the Great was to be
erected was g military reservation.
Bacon replied that Congress had
especial control of all public grounds
in the District of Columbia.
What I protest against" he said.
"is the idea of making this country
the dumping ground for statues of
mon who. while heroes in their own
country, stand for ideals totally differ
ent from our own"
He said he would be glad if the En-
peror would send the statue of another
German.

acter had been grossly misrepre-
sented. He was a most remarkable
man" the Senator went on, "and mil
lions of people in this country revere
his memory almost as much as we
revere the memory of our own Wash
ington. 1t would be ungracious not to
accept the statue; we should not raise
any delicate points about his political
