THE RARITAN RIVER BRIDGE.


The War Department has chosen
a wise course to get out of the bridge
middle and to allow the work TO pro-
coed. When the manufacturers filed
their complaint it was such n strong
one that tho national government felt
compelled to take some action. Tho
order to stop all work on the structure
followed.
The manufacturers the n presented
their case to tho freeholdors and asked
that spans be placed in the bridge to
allow the free movements OF ice in
wintor. The county off oials showed
to the manufacturers satisfaction that
they were powerless to raise any more
money for tho structure and to take
advantage OF an act put through the
Iogislatnra with a referendum clause
WAS admitted to be useless.
Al understanding reacllad
hanover, IN which, it is understood,
the freeholders agreed that ii the
manufacturers Withdrew their objcc-
tion and allowed tho bridge to be
completed ns originally PLANNED, as
aoon as enough money is available the
freeholders Will put the spans in the
bridge. AS this.c easily be done,
the arrangement is nm excellent one
and gives satisfaction all around.
Iii the meantime, however, the War
Department had been drawn into the
cnse and ordered all work stopped.
While the manufacturers and froo-
holders hai COTTON together and
rived at a satisfactory understand.
ing. tho government was not so easy
to deal with. Large bodies move
slowly and oil efforts were then turned
toward getting the War Department to
remove It's han. After several meet
ings and interviews the federal
] authorities have hit upon an accept.
vable plan to withdraw it's opposition
with honor to all concerned. The de.
ArAnent has called for a public hear
ing N the matter to be held in New
York. NJnless there are good reasons
advanced for not allowing the work
to continue, it is very probable the
objection will be removed. Aud, al
the manufac urers we're the only OBJ,
jectors and they have now come to al
understanding, it is evident there
will be no objections to the work be
ing continued, but, rather, all hand
will join IN urging the work pushed t.
a successful finish.
The fog of uncertainty whlcI
seemed to have almost hid the bridg
from view is gradually being re
moved. With the War Department on
of the matter the completion of tn
structure will rest entirely with til
county and city authorities. TIL
public demand for the bridge is s.
great that it is impossible for then
to remain long without reaching som
sort of a compromise and it would ap
pear that the bridge will soon be
fact.

ROCK ISLAND CONTROL
 PASSING TO BRITISH.

Chicago, H., Sept. 21. Rail road men announced today that control of the Rock Island was passing to British hands and would soon become a foreign cor poration. In support of this the statement is made that $2O, ,000,- GOO out of the $90,000. .000 of the common stock is now held by parties outside the United States, besides a small proportion of the preferred stock. Over 15,00O shares of the common are said to have been purchased recently by English buyers and the foreign demand still keeps up. Rock Is- land interests admitted it is prob- able that the foreigners will be allowed to take all of the con- mon stock they care to acquire, as it has practically no say in the control of the operation of the property.

EX-SENATOR JONES
 IN WASHINGTON.
Expresses Belief That Those Who Supported Bryan Will Vote for Parker and
 Davis.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 21. Former Senator James K. Jones is in Washington after be- ing in close touch with the Dem ocratic national committee in New York.
 ''I believe," said Senator Jones, that the Democrats who supported Bryan will vote for Parker and Davis. There are few cases of extremists who have declined to support the ticket, but they will vote for Watson and not for Roosevelt. The fact that we are retaining the Bryan vote is shown by the Maine election.
 "I think the Populists are re- alizing that to vote for a third ticket simply aids the party in power. Realizing that as they do, I expect to see Watson poll a much smaller vote than he did in 19OO."
