FIGHT OVER BRIDGE LoOP.
East SIDE ORGANIZATIONS Oppose lite Build
Inc Even fer 1--WE TeaFA


The Rapid Transit Commission held a
public hearing yesterday on the proposal
10 Join the Manhattan terminals Of the
bridges by building an elevated railroad
to run over private property except for
short distance, whore II will b carried
through Baxter street.
The commission recommends this only a.
a temporary means Of relieving the con-
gestion at the Brooklyn Bridge and pro-
vides for tearing down the structure when
permanent relief Is obtained by the com
pletion Of the slbways between this Dor
ough and Brooklyn. Ave years hence. All
the same, the ofioes were thronged with
dele cations which for more than three
hours we're permitted TO talk at will.
Most Of the speeches had very little TO do
with the object for which the hearing was
held One speaker, a representative Of the
City Club. was permitted TO read q printed
book Of twenty-six pages generalizing
upon almost every theory ever mentioned
for dealing with the marlborough tTaffic
problem. About the only point made In
the book was that a subway instead Of an
elevated railroad should be built for the
carrying Of Brooklyn trolley cars between
the bridge terminals in this borough.
The hearing resolved itself into a fight
between representatives Of East Side organi-
cations who opposed the elevated scheme
and Brooklyn organizations which insisted
that an elevated loop was the only way In
which speedy and adequate provision could
be made for remedying existing conditions
at the Bridge. Borough President Littleton
was one OF those who advocated the loop
He pointed out that all the plans for the
building Of subways between the boroughs
were still vague and intangible, while the
loop was a business proposition which could
be acted on Immediately because the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company stood ready 10
build and operate II.
President Winter OF the company In con-
hrming this statement said that the easiest
way out OF the prevailing difficulty was the
elevated loop suggestion. So Tar as a
subway loop was concerned he said his
company would never consent TO run it,
trains through Il, II the company took his
advice, because Of the great risk 10 life
which would be caused by the steep grades
down which the trains would have 10 run
from the bridges to the subways. The
commission took no action.
John B. Mcdonald formally notified
the commission that he had severed his
relations with the company operating the
subway on Feb. n last, Comptroller Trout
drew attention to the coincidence that Feb.
p was five years TO day since Mr.. MELON
aid began the building Of the tunnel:

pany which has obtained from the COM

and over the East River 10 Port Morris, ap-
piled for an extension Of the time in which

franchise which has been held up by the
Aldermen. The commission granted a
three months extension from March 10.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT Without any par
hsan innuendo or political suggestion, IL
may be said, as a matter Of fact and obser-
walton, that he has a wide and warm popu-
larity among citizens Of Irish descent. It
will not do to insist too much upon racial
peouharides and salient traits. Most peo-
pie are much alike. Most bloods are highly
blended
Yet there is an obvious sympathy between
some sides Of the Irish temperament and
some sides OF Mr.. RoosEvELT's tempera-
ment Common to both are delight in battle,
eloquence and argumentatveness; gener-
osity, hospitality, strong social sympathies
even, perhaps, a share Of dogmatism and
wrongheadedaess.
To Americans OF Irish strain. however,
perhaps Mr. RoosEvELT's most engaging
characteristics are his absolute and eager
Americanism his democracy. his thorough
saturation in the spirit Of equality.

DAMAGING FOR
CLEMENTS CASE
ACCOMMODATION PAPER" DEAL
UNEARTHED TODAY.
Prosecution Attempts to Show that
Clement Had Abstracted $88,254
from Bank Credits for the Concerns
in Which He and His Son Were In
terested, Substituting Bonds in Their
Place. # ,"

The prosecution in the case against
Thomas B. Clement, the Faribault bank
er, in the federal court at ST.. Paul,
closed it's evidence late this afternoon.
The defense will probably conclude this
week.
Edward D. Hammond Of Valdosta,
Ca, bookkeeper for the Minnesota
Lumber company, was the most impor-
tant witness today. He testified that
his signature appeared on the so-called
fictitious drafts which MIR. Clement had
honored as deposits. He said H. O. Cle-
ment, son Of the banker, had brought
several blank drafts to him and. Sc
cured his signature on the explanation
that the drafts were only to be used
if necessary for accommodation pur-
poses.
To the knowledge of the witness no
entry was made on the lumber COM
pany's books Of the drafts given the
Faribault National bank. To his
knowledge no such drafts were drawn
by the company. He knew considerable
money was received from the Faribault
bank and this money used to pay en-
ployees and general Indebtedness.
This afternoon the prosecution
pressed the charge that on Feb. Is,
1904. Clement had distracted $88,254
from the bank credits for the concerns
in which he and his son were interested,
and substituted in the place bonds Of
these companies

NAMES TWO FOR

MAYOR APPOINTS DIR. WESTON
AND JOHN CROSBY.
Appointments May Have Bearing on
Selection Of City Physician Frank
Mcdonald Won't Accept Reappoint-
ment as superintendent of the Work
house-Has Got Another Job.

DR.. Charles G.. Weston and John
Crosby today were appointed members
of the board of charities and correc-
tions by Mayor David p. Jones. DR..
Weston was city physician from 1895
to 1899 and could have had the place
again had he said the word. He is re-
garded as an exceptionally strong man
for the board; Mr.. Crosby has served
on the board for four years with much
satisfaction to all concerned and his
disappointment was conceded. DR..
Weston succeeds DR.. Frank r. Wood
ard, who had been member of the
board since its organization fourteen
years ago.
Dr.. Woodland, in view of his long
service as a commissioner, was not a
candidate for reappointment.
NOW that the appointment Of DR..
Weston as one Of the commissioners has
been announced, there is already live
ly, scramble to land some Of the places
which will be distributed next Mon,
day. The chief interest centers in the
appointment Of city physician. The Sc
lection Of DR.. Weston reduces the
chances Of any of the homeopathic NOM
inees IN favor Of one Of the four nomi.
nees Of the Hennepin County Medical
society. DR.. Archa Wilcox is reported
to have an excellent chance He has
had considerable experience in big hos
pitfalls in the east and is highly COM
mended by his fellow practitioners, as
are the other nominees. =
Frank Mcdonald, superintendent Of
the workhouse, is not candidate for
reappointment. He so informed Mayor
Jones today and also announced that
he had already accepted another posi-
tion. He virtually resigned his posi-
ton. The strongest man in the field
is John O'Donnell. former state labor
commissioner, who, however, has not
conducted an active campaign. Others
on the list are John B. Ryberg, formerly
a county commissioner, and A. A. Kelly,
candidate for the republican nomination
as sheriff last summer.
