take up the elevated loop connection for the Man
haitian ends of the Brooklyn. Manhattan and Will
iamsburg bridges at early day. President orr
Is anxious 10 do something at once toward reiiev-
sn the depiorable conditions at the Manhattan enc
OF the old bridge in the rush hours night and
morning.
The conviction is deepening that something must
be done az once and the only feasible plan seems
70 be the one to which The Tribune yesterday gave
publicity While there is a feeling against allow
ing any more unsightly elevated railroads to be
built in the streets of Manhattan borough. there
Is no other wav out of the woods. The strictly de-
sirsble plans cannot be worked out because of
irreconcilable interests
The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company will not
coonerate In any project that involves the running
Of their cars through subway in this borough for
the reason that the directors of that corporation
ere convinced that 1t would mean complete re-
equipment OF their road with a different style Of
rolling stock This would require outlay Of
millions Of dollars In trying TO find solution of
the Bridge problem it must constantly be kept in
mind that perhaps the biggest factor OF all is the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. and plan
that it refuses TO accept can he carried into
effect
As The Tribune pointed out yesterday. the only
really feasible plan one that will tend to solve the
traffic problem and at the time enlist the
cooperation of the Brooklyn companies. is for an
elevated connection TO be built between the bridges
so as 10 facilitate the running OF cars by a loop
system. This be built cheapy and quickly. 1t

OF that street on the East Side. the buildings

them absolutely souaiid
Because the matter is likely to come before me
officially. I am not prepared at this time to ex-
press an opinion on the merits of the elevated
loop plan," said Mayor Mcclellan yesterday
AS a member of the Rapid Transit Commission
DO not care just at present TO be quoted on the
elevated loop plan" said the Controller II cannot
say that I am in favor of it as a whole. I think
would be in favor of elevated connection be
tween the Brooklyn and the Manhattan bridges
when the new bridge is built, by running an ele-
waited spur through Park-st 10 Chatham SQUARE
T1ping out part OF Chinatown. and providing
natural and easily worked loop system for the two

The crying need Of relieving the terrible crush at

that The Tribune has begun agitation Of the

The Soul of Music
Through the Heart of the Aneelus

Music that you feel.
Music that absorbs both player and hearer.
Music that neither taxes the player to produce
the technique comes from the piano in mechan-
ical manner.
Music that flows from the soul that directs the
hand, within whose touch is the power to shade and
phrase the sweetest melody, completely though
the fingers themselves touched the harp-strings.
The ANGELUS gives the power to produce all
this into the hands of all who love music and can feel
IT in their soulswhether they piansts do not
know note or key.
There are many mechanical piano players. There
is one ANGELUS-only one that gives heart and
sou-because none other has or can have the
PHRASINC1 LEVER, which belongs alone to the
Angeus and it's powers must be demonstrated TO your
own eyes and ears.
