TWO BRIDGES
TO new YORK
Commission Appointed by Gov
errors of. The Two States
Ready TO Make Report.

NEW YORK. Nov. 27:--The Inter-
State Commission appointed by Gov
ernor Higgins, of this state, and
Governor Stokes, of New Jersey, for
the purpose of looking into the plans
of connecting New York city with
New Jersey by ean of bridges
across the North river is almost
ready to begin the drafting of its re-
port. 1t was learned yesterday that,
instead of II bridge, as at first con-
templaied, the commission will rec
ommend that two bridges be built.
Macdougal Hawkes., chairman of
the commission, said yesterday that
he report. which will be submitted
simultaneously to The New York and
>eW Jersey Legislatures, will be COM
lelad hy January j.. Prior TO form
7|ii2tiG$ the report, however, there
till be q, public hearing. A date for
this hearing will be fixed at the next
peet,ng OF the commission. Chair
man hawkes. has not as yet issued a
call for this meeting.
As soon as oar report has been
made TO the legislature" said Mr..
Hawkes, provision will be made by
lill i0y the organization of a perma-
nent commission and a very large
appropriation TO carry on the work.
The permanent commission, of
course. viii have power 10 condemn
propertg Tor bridge purposes and
launch the great project"
Mr.. Hawkes. said that no site had
yet been definitely determined up
on, and that, even when this had
been done. the location of the site
would not be made public until the
commission is absolutely ready to be-
gin condemnation proceedings for
property which win be required for
the approaches. Both bridges, how
ever, if the recommendations the
commissioners intend TO make are
acted upon favorably, will be located
points between Seventy-seeond
and Washington Square.
THE most favorable site for the
uptown bridge" said Mr.. Hawkes.,
would be at F~ifty-ninth street,
where Columbus Circle would pro-
vice an admirable site for a termin-
al. But il is our opinion that the
downtown bridge should by all
means be built first"
MIR. Hawkes. said that, roughly es-
tfmated, the cost of the spans of the
bridges alone would be from
: 5,000,000 TO $35,000,0 00 each.
This is entirely outside of the Isl of
approaches and terminals.

KILLED
GRACE BROWN
State Shows Murder Done at Big
Moose Lake -DocIOr Says Girl
Was Not Drowned.

HERKIMEis. n. u, Nov. 2T.-Dr,
Douglas OF Little FAILS, one OF the ply
slcians who helped TO perform the an.
topsy on Grace Browns body. tesiliie,
at the trial of Chester Gillette that the
injuries found ON the body We're la
ficted before death. lie testified that
the tennis racket that Gillette buried
and which the sheriff found was ca-
pable of producing the abraslons and
other injuries found on the body. The
condition of the girls lungs did not ia
dicate drowning said DR.. Douglas.
This was stricken out.
'The lips were swollen, and the tip
of the lose was enlarged aud dlscolored.
The left center upper tooth WAS over
tapping the right center upper tooth.
The left cheek bone was swollen.
There We're abrasions and membrane
ut the lips. These injuries were In
1icted before death" he said. The
blood vessels of the head had been
separated as if by blows"
The word blows" was objected TO,
and the objection was sustained.
A dramatic moment ensted as Dis
trict Attorney Ward swung the tennis
racquet which was found near Biz
Moose lake in the air experimentally.
"The injuries could have been pro
duced by this weapon using either
end" the doctor said.
DIR. Douglas stated that the blood
clot OH the brain was as large rs a ten
cent piece and again said that Il was
caused by external violence before
death. DR.. Douglas further said that
in his opinion such u blood clot would
cause death. although there were eases
where persons recovered from severe
commissions.
DR.. Douglas then described the head
as he found II. There WAS Il blood
eliot on the brain. but no fracture OF
the skull.
"In your opinion. what was the cause
Of death?"
Il should say that death resulted
from shock or conclusions resulting
from blows or Injuries 10 the head be-
fore immersion, or il immersion did
occur while there was still life the
chances OF restoration were 50 few
that immersion was unnecessary to
produce death"

was that the blows could have been

Shaw to Aid Money Market.
Coincident with the rise of the call
money rate to 40 per cent, the an
nouncement was made by Secretary
Shaw at Washington that on and after
Sept. 10 the treasury would make de-
posits in national banks to facilitate
the importation Of gold. Actual engage
ment on gold must precede the deposits
and the deposits must be paid as soon
as the gold arrives Stocks were little

"Pennsy" Oiseorges Holdings.
In a formal statement the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company announced
that it had relinquished it's grip on the
Baltimore and Ohio and Norfolk and
Western railroads by selling part of it's
stock in those companies to Kuhn,
Loeb & Co The Cassatt statement ex-
plains that these stocks were bought
six years ago for the purpose Of in
huencing the arrangements Of those
lines to join in concerted effort to do
away with secret rebates. This result
having k-sen realized, it was deemC /
to the present state of public opini~?
on such matters" although there w !;
no foundation for the charge made that
the company was seeking to control
the tidewater bituminous coal traffic
Critics were quick to say that the
transfer was made in name only, as it
is we'll known that Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
are identified as bankers for the Penn
sylvania interests. The sale gives the
company about $4O,0OO,OOO available for
the current years expenses.
To Fight Private Car Lines.
The report was uncontradicted in
Wall street that the Union Pacific had
ordered 5000 refrigerator cars pursuant
to the determination to do away with
all private cars
Cotton King of Exports.
The department of commerce and
labor finds the value of raw cotton
exported in the last fiscal year for the
first time passed the $40O,OOOOOO mark,
exceeding by far the value of any other
article of merchandise sent out of the
country. Exports Of breadstuffs reach
ed S1S6,000,000, provisions $21 100000,
and those of iron and steel S161, 100000.
Europe is the principal customer for
our raw cotton and China for the man
ufactured product.
No Earthquake Insurance.
Nearly all the insurance companies
operating in Chile have united in a
declaration against paying damages
caused by fire during and after the
earthquake which destroyed Valparaiso
and damaged places along the coast.

three years and that the directors had
done nothing for nearly as long a
period. Bank Examiner Berkey was
thus placed on the anxious seat.
The depositors announced their in
tent of suing the directors. A loan Of
$250,O00 to the Airing Brook Real
Estate company, of which Director
Junkin was president, came ia for
sharp criticism
Further disclosures were made when
Treasurer William F. North and AS
sistant Treasurer n. S. Collingwood,
together with Adolph Segal, were ar
raigned on complaint of a depositor
with the company, who charged con-
spiracy, embeZzlement and perjury.
Segal in $4,000 and the others in
$4,000 each. The fact was brought
out that Nipple left note in which he
said
"There is no one to blame but myself
Segal got all the money. He fooled
me-" Cashier Grisky told in detail
how Nipple had oyerdrawn his account
for large amounts and how these were
converted into apparent cash by means
Of fake loans. District Attorney Bell
said that while Segal and Nipple were
the actual parties to the conspiracy,
North and Collingwood were passive
agents and witnesses to it. The loan
checks were paid out Of the depositors
balance and the notes were blanks
signed by Segal and filled in by Nipple
on worthless collateral. The directors
announced that they had pledged 49,
100000 toward the rehabilitation Of
the wrecked institution. Receiver Earle
was offered the presidency of the re-
organized company. State Bank Ex-
aminer Berkey announced his inten-
ton of beginning an investigation, and
said he would hold the directors ac
countable for misapplied funds. One
Of the best of the Segal securities
Sept. 5 sold for 10 cents on the dollar.
First Rebate Suits Begun.
The first suits for damages for al
legged discrimination and giving Of re-
bates to favored coal corporations by
railroad companies following the. re-
cent investigation by the interstate
commerce commission were filed in
Philadelphia by nine retail coal deal
ers. The damages asked aggregate
more than 100000, and the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company is the sole de-
PENDANT in the concerted legal actions
Investigating Harvester Trust.
An investigation of the international
Harvester company has been instituted
by G. c. Coleman, attorney general or
Kansas, to determine whether the con-
Germ is operating in violation OF the
state antitrust laws.

rance Of what is proposed. He asserts
that there is no intention OF doing any
thing revolutionary and that the pur-
pose is for the government instead OF
tagging behind popular sentiment, to
advance abreast of it and at the same
time abreast of the views of the ablest
and most practical educators of our
time, as we'll as of the most profound
scholars-men of the stamp OF PROBES
sor Loundsberry and Professor Skeat.'
He explains further that If these
changes in the spelling Of 300 words
do not ultimately meet with popular
approval ''they will be dropt and that
is all there is about it," After quot
ing several examples of word shorten
Ing in popular use he declares that this
reform is not an attack on the Ian
guage of Shakespeare and Milton, is
not an attempt to do anything far
reaching, sudden or violent, but is an
attempt ''to cast what slight weight
can properly be cast on the side Of the
popular forces which are endeavorinT
to make our spelling little less foolish
and fantastic"
Strength of the Army.
General orders issued by the war de-
partment fix the enlisted strength Of
the army at 62,515 men. There are 49,

To Abolish Back Stamping.
The postoffice department will ex-
tend to eastern cities the experiment
which has been made in Chicago of dis
continuing the use of the back stamp,
which indicates the time at which 4

The object is to save expense and

Brownson was ordered with the cruis-
ers Colorado, Pennsylvania, West

The Philippine commission has abol-
ished all tonnage and navigation taxes
due in the Philippine islands, thus max
ing Manila and other ports free. The

those from the United States and other
remote places.

Cancer Bacillus Identified.


DR.. Otto Schmidt of Cologne, Ger
many, is credited with having secured
cultures of the cancer bacillus from
certain mildew forming on plants. He
claims to be the first man to prove that
cancer can be artificially produced on
animals as the culture which he has
obtained caused genuine cancer when
Is was transferred to certain animals.
DR.. Schmidt says that a remedy for the
disease is now possible, and he already
has in hand one remedy which has
given good results when the case is
little advanced. He has not made pub
lie the nature Of this remedy, but says
it is not serum.
Entrance of Tuberculosis.
In his address before the internation-
al tuberculosis congress at The Hague,
DR.. Lawrence Flick, head of the Phipps
institute at Philadelphia, demonstrated
that the tubercle bacillus has restrict
ed habitat and is a delicate organism
which may easily be destroyed. He
takes issue with the view long held by
scientists that the lungs are the prin-
cipal source of tuberculous incubation
The fact that the bacillus is a solid and
that infection is found in every part of
the body reached by the circulatory
system convinces him that entry is
gained through the alimentary canal
and thence through the right heart into
the circulation.

The scientific evidence thus far OBJ

Status of Irrigation Work.

When the national irrigation con-

sion at Boise, Ida, Clifford Pinchot
chief of the division of forestry, deliv-
cred a letter from President Roosevelt
The president outlined the govern
ment's plans under the reclamation act
Of 1902, in fulfllment of which $780,
100000 is to be spent The service now
consists of more than 400 skilled engi-
neers and experts, and work is already
advanced on twenty-three great enter
prises in the arid land. Over 100000
acres of land have been laid out for
irrigation, Of which 100000 acres are
now under ditch Over 10000 men and
about 5000 horses are now employed.
The president insists that the farm
unit shall be limited to what will sup
port one family, to avoid speculation
in lands. He says that the forest serv-
ice has now become a national policy
"wider than the boundaries of any
state and larger than the interests Of
any single industry"

Big New York Fight Brewing.

Big New York Fight Brewing.
The contest in New York for the
governorship bids fair to be of keen
interest to the entire nation because
of it's bearing upon presidential pos
sibilities in 1908. 1t looks more and
more like a three cornered fight be-
tween Hearst, Jerome and Hughes. At
Syracuse on Labor day Hearst spoke
as the guest Of organized labor and
said that while he did not believe in
the public ownership of private prop
erty he also did not believe in the pri-
yate ownership Of public property. He
said his programme was not socialism
or radicalism of any kind, but what he
called Americanism. At Albany a
meeting OF conservative Democrats lis
tened to the words of District Attor-
ney Jerome, who defined his opposition
to the bosses on the one hand and to
socialism Oh the other Hughes re-
turned from Europe and made it
known that he would not accept the
Republican nomination unless it was
mOniZing of all factions.
Bryan AIienates Conservatives.
The one thing in the homecoming
speech of William ]. Bryan at Madison
Square Garden, New York, which has
caused the most discussion was the ad-
vocacy of federal and state ownership
Of railroads. His outspoken words on
this live issue were promptly disavow-
ed by many of the conservative Demo
Gratis who up to that time had joined in
the general demand for his candidacy
Representative Livingston of Georgia
and Leader Williams of the house
minority, Senator Bailey of Texas,
Governor Folk Of Missouri and Editor
Journal were among those who prompt
ly expressed their dissatisfaction or
their beliefs that the utterance would
hurt Bryans chances for the presi-
dency. Although Bryan said nothing
of railroads in his other eastern
SpCC1ACs at NcW maven, CoAu., anu
in New Jersey, before leaving New
York he spoke his mind plainly to the
members of the Democratic club. He
bid defiance to the politicians and de-
clared his personal independence, say
ing that the party must look forward
and not backward in order to recognize
its leaders, but said he would rather
have the approval of his own con-
science than Of all the people in the
United States.
At Chicago, however, Bryan reiterat-
ed his stand on the government owner
ship question, but explained that his
purpose in presentirg the issue at this
t., was ITO he'd CT TIC fear to the
