sit Commissioners and other public
bodies in New York, to explain the
project and obtain the necessary fran
chises and consents, and also to super
intend the awarding Of the large cor-
tracts for doing the work itself. The
Company also appointed a commission
of the most eminent civil engineers in
the world 20 draw up the plans for the
work. itself. The commission consists
of Colonel Charles w. Raymond, Uni
ted States Army, Chai,man; Mr..
Charles M. Jacobs, Mr.. Alfred Noble,
and Mr.. George Gibbs; Mr.. Rea and
Mr.. Cassatt, Of course, cooperating
with them.
The Men Behind The Shields.
TO have direct supervision over the
work on the Hudson River tunnels
the company secured Mr.. Charles M.
Jacobs, an Englishman, who has pro-
badly had to do with the building of
more large tunnels than any other
living man. He designed the shields
used in the work. The shield is the
most important feature of tunneling
under water, and it takes an engineer
really to appreciate what it means.
Four shields have been in use in the
Hudson River work, two in each tube,
one working from the Jersey side and
one from the New York side in each
case. The shields are still in perfect
condition, and, owing to their peculiar
ly satisfactory character, this work
has been pushed forward with almost
unprecedented rapidity.
The Chief Assistant Engineer, Mr..
James Forgie, Scotchman, designed
the hydraulic sliding platforms with
which the shields are equipped. 1t is
on these platforms that the men stand
in making the excavations ahead Of
the tube itself; the platforms slide
out as the work advances, and the
excavated material is dumped back
through the shield upon tram cars,
which carry it back to the shaft.
Mr.. Forgie was the principal assist
ant to the distinguished tunnel engi-
neer, Greatbead, in the construction
of the Waterloo & City Railroad tun-
mel under the River Thames in 1894.
The contractors, the O'Rourke En-
gineering Construction Company, be-
gan operations in the subaqueous tun-
nels OH April 18, 1904, the first boring
beginning on the Manhattan side. On
Sept. LIST operations on the New Jer-
sey side were begun, deep shaft hay
ing been sunk on each side prior to
the beginning Of the actual boring.
Quietly the work went on, and the
public heard Of little that was hap.

could be traced to the effects 'f COM

OLD SETTLER
TAKES HIS LIFE
R. M. Bracken Had
Suffered With
Frozen Feet
Special to Evening Teller.

Special to Evening Teller.
Asotin, Wash. May 21.--The body
of Robert NJ. Bracken. the first white
man to settle in the Asotin country,
was found this morning near his home
in Cloverland, with a. bullet through
his head the wound evidently being
self inflicted with suicidal intent. Near
the body was found revolver with an
empty chamber telling the story of
the old pioneers death.
The cause attributed for the rash act
is intense suffering from frozen feet
which Bracken sustained last winter
and which We're not properly cared for
at the time. Bracken visited Asotin
recently to consult physician and at
that time his feet We're in bad con-
dition and only a continued and severe
treatment would result in a cure.
The old man became discouraged and
returned to his home saying that he
would try and effect a cure by home
remedies. The body was found early
this morning near the Chauncey Tay-
lor place. only a short distance from
the Bracken home. 1t Is believed the
deed was committed at an early hour
last night.
Robert Bracken was about 81 years
of age and has been resident of the
Asotin country for AZ years. He Is well
remembered by the first settlers in the
country who received many favors at
the hands Of Mr.. Bracken. His gene
rosity and integrity have been charac-
teristic throughout life and many of
the early pioneers will bow in sorrow
at his sad death.
Coroner H. R. Merchant and Deputy
Sheriff Nose Martin left this morning
for Cloverland, where an inquest will
be held.

WILL ADMIT
BY TICKETS
Arrange Sunday Night
Sermons at M. E.
Church

The announcement that Rev. w. IT,
Euster would preach last night on
"Ten Nights in Bar-room', brought
out a large congregation. The pastor
said, in part:
"As was announced this morning, we
desire this service to be general in
PRODUCTION to the special stereOptican
work for the summer. Tickets will be
arranged for and put in the hands of
all who desire them. The Misses Je-
neatte Harris and Ethel Harris, Car
RE Murch, and Jene Elliott. G. w. Wo-
toring, c. w. Robnett, J. II. Benton.
G. D. Clayton, Fred Guy and several
others, will have these tickets, and
they will mean that all who have them
and will get to the church by s
o'clock shall have seat.
wherever these sermons have been
given the vestibule has always been
filled, and many who could come but
once would crowd out others who
wanted to attend all OF them. This is
why we have these tickets. in order
that the ones most interested may have
the best seats. The tickets are all
free, but we want about 700 Of them
out before we begin. Then we know
that when prejudice is removed the
congregation will get into the spirit OF
the services and all will enjoy 1t more.
1T takes no brains to kick. Anyone
can do that, and spoil the work, but
all can help in making 1t helpful to all
who come Mr.. Seton. the wild animal
man, and Riis, the social reformer, both
have won greatest success In this very
manner which we shall take for the
SUNDAY evening congregations
throughout the summer months.
IL want to take five pictures tonight
from ''Ten Nights In Bar-room' and
then when we get through you tell me
how much more interesting and I'M
pressive 1t would have been had we
nossessed the additional imagination
OF the stereoptican along with what We
can picture by means of the spoken
word, and thus by appealing. to thu
soul through both the eye and ear q
the same time. how much more good
do you imagine would come about.
"The thing we aim at Ii reaching tn
soul with the truth and It matters no
how that may be accomplished, the re
suits are what we are after. Trutl
can do good only as It reaches man
What we see moves up more thai
what we only hear.

The affidavit was sworn to by County
Auditor Oberlin in which he stated he
had good reasons to believe that in
toxicating liquors were being kept in
a building leased or owned by the
defendants and which were offered for
sale or given away. No arrests were

to make a straight and regular sap

LOUISVILLE MEN
Badly Hurt in Mine ExpIosion-May
Lose Sight of Both Eyes.

Louisville, o., June 29.-Nick Philip
and Tony Roos, Roumanians, employ
ed at the Louisville Brick and Tile
works, about three miles east of Lou
isville, were seriously injured yester-
day by an explosion of dynamite in
the mine of the above mentioned COM
pany. 1t is a rule in the works that
no shooting shall be done until after
three O'Clock, but the two men, cls-
regarding this rule, arranged to fire
two shots at six o'clock in the morn
ing. One of these shots went off all
right, but the fuse of the other burn
ed so slowly that the men thought
that it was out and approached to re-
light it. When they were about Ten
feet away from it the explosion &C.
Cured. Both men were very badly
burned and cut about the face, Tnd
both are quite likely to lose the sight
Of both eyes.
