Moro to Help Trafic.
Comptroller Metz has worked out a new
plan for adding 10 the railroad facilities Of
the Williamsburg Bridge. He proposes to
have the cars Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company now running over the bridge
and stopping at the plaza on the Manhattan
side continue to the Bowery through Delan-
cey street. Between the Bowery and
Chrystie street it is the Comptroller's scheme
to have a series Of loops laid down on the
widened Delaney street to enable the
cars to turn back to the bridge without
switching.
The plan would permit of a large increase
In the number Of trolley cars now crossing
the bridge and would permit transf ers at the
loops with the Second, Third and Fourth
avenue car lines of this borough. The
overhead trolley cars of the b. K. T. would
have to be fitted with shoes for the under
ground system. The cost of this~e equipment
would be about 500 a car.
Mr.. Metz made known his plan after, a
tour of inspection over the lines Of the
Brooklyn railroad companies. The inspect
ing party, travelling in special cars pro-
yided by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany, included, besides the Comptroller,
President MCGOWAN OF the Board Of Alder
men, Borough President Ahearn of Man
haitian, Bridge Commissioner Stevenson
and A. z. Orr, Charles Stewart Smith.
Morris X. Jesup, John H. Starin, Woodbury.
Langdon and Lewis Cass Ledyard Of the
Rapid Transit Commission.

SHOT AT HIS DAUGHTER.
Shoemaker Attempts Murder and Then
Kills Himself In the Times Building.


James Howes, a shoemaker for theatrical
folk, shot and seriously wounded his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Noranda B~rinkworth, in the Times
Building early yesterday morning, and
then, turning the revolver on himself,
committed suicide.
Mrs. Brinkworth was employed in clean
ing UP one of the offices on the second floor
Of the building when the father attacked
her. She and her husband had had trouble
and the father had gone to see her as a
peacemaker. He called at the Times Build
ing at 9 o'clock in the morning. His wife
had died two years ago and he wanted his
daughter to establish a home SO that he
could live with her.
They had angry words, n then the
father pulled out the revolver and fired.
Mrs. Brinkworth had started toward the
elevator, screaming, and the bullet hit her
In the right shoulder. The father fired
again, but missed, and then his daughter
fell TO the floor.
Howes then fired two shots at himself.
One Of them struck just above the right
eye. The second pierced the shoemaker
heart. In firing the first shot he stood
In front Of a mirror in the hallway.
That Howes went to the building with
suicide In his mind was evident from this
note which was found in one of his pockets:
ITO the officer who finds my body: Kindly
remove to the Merritt company, Nineteenth
street and Eighth avenue. Notify Mrs.
Carr Carroll, 34l West Seventeenth street.
The daughter was taken to Roosevelt
Hospital. She will recover The father
was an Englishman, about 50 years old.

KOWALSKY,S OFFICE ROBBED.
Explanation OF the Letters Alleged 10 RE-
late 10 a Congo Corruption Fund.

EXPLANATION OF the Letters Alleged 10 RE-
late 10 n Congo Corruption Fund.
DIR. Adolph Danziger, representing Col.
Fl. |. Kowalsky, said yesterday afternoon
that the letters published in a morning
newspaper from Thomas @. Garrett, clerk
of the United States Senate subcommittee
on health and national quarantine. to Col.
KowaIsky had been stolen from the lat
ter's Office in 81 Wall street by persons who
had broken into the Office on Thursday or
Friday night Of last week.
Somebody said DIR. Danziger, broke
into the Office, ruined a valuable screen
and some other furniture, rified desks and
stole the papers. We have our suspicious
directed against certain parties. In a few
days we will ask for warrants for their
arrest
DR.. Danziger said that the insinuations
that Col. Garrett had acted in Washington
as the agent OF Col. Kowalsky, who 10 the
legal representative here OF the King OF
Belgium, in the present Congressional
action hostile to Belgian interests was
utterly u~nfounded. The letters in question,
he said, referred to the work OF the Ameri-
can Distributing Bureau for Immigrants,
of which Col. kowalsky and Garrett were
officers. The founders OF this society were
Col. Kowalsky, the late Gen. Wheeler, Col
Garrett and DIR. Danziger.
Col. Garrett Is the Washington repre-
| sentative OF the society, while DR.. Danziger
Is the New York director. Tn letter
printed in fac-simile yesterday, in which
| Col. Garrett wrote, Il assure you that !
| appreciate your assurance that you VIII
stand by me in my new venture, but II u
is lust the same TO you land / doubt not

me nave half of il here, v referred, DR.. Dan.
Finger said, to half of the $500 which had
been guaranteed by Col. Kowalsky as the
travelling expenses of Col. Garrett to in
terest Southern employers in the distribu-
ton of immigrants among the Southern
States.
The letters" said DR.. Danziger, pub
lished in facsimile are untrue, in that they
lead the public to believe that Col. Garrett
was the paid agent for any corruption pur'
poses directly or indirectly connected Will
the Congo business, and that Col. kowalsky
as the lawful attorney Of the King OF Bel
gium. paid him any sum whatever, as tn
newspaper would make people believe. A
a matter of fact, the letters refer to tn
American Distribution Bureau Tor lmmi
grants, of which Col. Garrett wal the resi-
dent secretary at Washington"
Col. Garrett, because OF his extensiy
Southern acquaintance, was chosen 70 a.

Aldermen Not EnIOIned

Supreme Court Justice Davis vacated
Yesterday the temporary injunction order
obtained by John p. Mcneil, a Brooklyn
restraining the Board Of Alder
men from acting upon the budget. Mcneil
alleged that in passing IN the disputed items
in the budget, especially those referring
TO the salaries of the ~chaplains OF the Police
and Fire departments, the board was with
intelligently. Justice Davis said that there
was no evidence in the moving papers of
such a lack of facts, and that to tie up so
important a matter as the budget on mere
allegations would not be right.

JEROME TACKLES BENCH AGAIN
THINKS GENERAL SESSIONS
JUDGES DON'T WORK ENOUGH

nal Trials want sta Cases As . Rule
~-Cemparaefve Dtmcuities Of Piacating
Ladies' and supreme Court Justices.
District Attorney Jerome made some
remarks yesterday about the amount OF
work done by the Judges Of GENERAL Ses-
sions. Mr.. jerome doesn't seem to think
that the Judg's are sitting Al long on an
average daily a. they should, and with the
Chris,mas holidays in sight he fears that
the prison list and the court calendars
viii become very heavy.
Mr.. Jerome made those remarks when
Judge Rosalsky heard q motion to Ok a date
for the trial Of Aram Tashijan, the Ar
menian who cut his brothers head Of
In tho House Of All Nations in Eleventh
avenue. There was q proposal to put the
case of until January 8, and Mr.. jerome
said he had heard that the courts Of
General Sessions would adjourn on Deeem-
Der d and not until January 8.
The Judges, he said, had been sitting on
an average OF less than four hours q day,
while they should be sitting four and a
half hours daily. They sat only eight
! months q year, he said, and only two
parts of General Sessions were open for
business in summer. He had got two
parts OF the Supreme Court to help him
with the criminal business.
Il have tried to piece the work out In
getting these two terms" he said. There
Is a divinity which hedges q Justice Of the

] and while my experience in keeping ouI
siet ers in order has not been very great
az 10 the comparative difficulty OF placatine
Justices OF the Supreme Court and ladies
there ia no comparison at all
Mr.. Jerome said he was not criticisine
Judge Rosalsky personally. 1.-THE Supreme
Court Justices got all the n interesting CASES
there would be nothing left for the Judges
~ General Sessions but the routine work
which became very monotonous.
sThe responsibility is put on the District
attorney for the calendar and the number
~ prison cases. said Mr.. jerome. III
would be very invidious for the District
Attorney to have to make a report on thu
work done in the courts, but there comes
a time when a man must defend the admins
tration of his Office.
Judge Rosalsky pointed out that some
times the District Attorney g calendar brok,
down. and Mr.. Jerome admitted that thai
was true. Then Judge Rosalsky said h
thought the Legislature ought to do some
thing to provide more courts.
When the smoke had cleared away nothinG
had been done about fixing a date for thu
Armenian's trial n IL wasn't decided
whether the Judges are going to hav'
eighteen days OF Christmas holidays.

has been driven a distance of 10 feet,
and Manager Milt Price states that four
feet day is now being made.
This tunnel is being sent in from the
Big Cottonwood side and is being pushed
in what is known to be the main contact
ledge in the Columbus Consolidated
property. the same contact from which
practically all of the ore that is now
supplying the big neighbor's milling plant
comes. The tunnel is headed for point
200 feet farther on, where shaft has
been sunk to quite a depth and from
which some very fine ore has been taken
out. The tunnel will get under this shaft
at a depth of more than 700 feet and be-
fore the necessary work to connect has
been performed it is expected to have
the property regularly producing and
shipping ore to the smelterS in the val
ley below. Some nice ore is making in
the face of the tunnel now, which is
taken to indicate that there are big
bodies of rich ore ahead. ore bodies that
will begin to make long before the OBJ
jective point is gained. The ore taken
from the shaft has been running all the
way from $50 to 500 per ton in silver,
lead, gold and copper.
