A FRIEND OF THE BRIDGE" "--BLOOMFIELD
Tells the Evening
News How He
Stands.
The RING

Charles A. Bloomfield telephoned
to the EVENING NEWS yesterday
that he did not want to be considered
in any way a stumbling block for the
opening of the bridge. He declared
that there is not better friend of
the bridge in the county than he and
he wants to see it opened as much
as anyone. He repeated what he
was quoted in the NEWS yesterday
as saying, declaring that no contract
now existed between the county and
the builders, that there was evidence
on record to prove that the bridge
had not bee built according to spec
ifications.
THE freeholders have my hearty
support in any movement they may
make to take possession of the bridge
and open it for traffic." said Mr..
Bloomfield. 81 will not only guaran-
tee that | will not interfere with such
action, but feel safe in saying that
no one else will interfere and if any
of the board should get into legal diff
ficulties as a result of opening the
bridge | am one who will assist them
in any way possible to clear them
selves"
AS for introducing a resolution
to pay any more money to the con-
tractors, that / will fight as long as
am able. | am simply acting in the
interests of the people and as a tax
-
stand idly by and see the county, s
money deliberately thrown away.
The county has already paid the con-
tractors about $13O,000 or $135, 900
and experts have testified on a wit
ness stand that, at the very outside,
the bridge can easily be built for
100000, then why should the coun-
ty pay any more money? Why is not
the bridge already more than paid
for? And, therefore, why cannot ii
be used at once?
81 know something about engin-
eering and | know that the altera-
tions to be made in the structure as
desired by the war department, can
be made with but little lost to the
public as far as using the bridge is
concerned 1t may have to be closed
for a day or two, but that is practi-
cally nothing.
81 want to see the bridge used,
but l do not propose to see the coun
ty beat out of any more money if
can help it"
Mr.. Bloomfield went into details
concerning the testimony taken at
different hearings and told about pill
ings which, he said, were shown to
have been merely stuck in the mud
and held together. He declared he
would fight to the end and intimated
that he might be counted upon to
take an active part in the political
campaign this fall in an effort to un-
seat Boss Strong and his crowd,
who, he claimed, were now trying to
cover over and hide the dirty work
connected with the bridge.

TOTTENVILLE, May 26.-While
on their way home, between II and
/ o'clock this morning Joseph Dough
erty and Rinalder Johnson, two en-
ployes of the Staten Island Rapid
Transit railroad, found a strange
man wandering aimlessly along the
shore, in dazed condition. He was
coming from under the trestle at the
depot. He laid down on the grass
near by and as his clothing was soak
ing wet and he was without hat,
they thought possibly that he had
been hit or had fallen in the water.
He was taken to the switch tower
in Main street, and DR.. Washington
tion he found that the man was suf-
fering with a fractured skull. He
was made as comfortably as possible
until morning, when he was taken on
the 5:20 o'clock train to the S. r.
Smith Infirmary, but died on the
train before he reached there. He
never regained consciousness.
1t is thought that he was trying to
get from one platform to the other
and that he fell through the trestle
down into the water and struck his
head in the fall His hat was found
on top of the trestle. He is between
thirty-five and forty years old and
has the appearance of foreigner.
Nothing in his pockets was found to
identify him but two ferry ticketc and
a letter which was signed Mrs, w. o.
Smith. The body was taken in
charge by Coroner Cahill and remov-
ed to the morgue at Stapleton.

the park board was passed. H. w. S.
Cleveland, an eminent landscape ;archi-
tect and a great admirer Of the scenic
beauties of Minneapolis, spent much
time in Minneapolis in the late 70 8
and early SOS and his wonderful talks
contributed largely toward forming pub
lie sentiment in favor Of the establish
ment of a park system. At the same
time the plan had great opposition and

late William s. King the principal
credit for steering the bill thru the

Civic beauty has been dear to the
heart Of Charles M. Loring all his life,
and the enthusiasm and zeal with which
he has labored for the promotion of
outdoor art has carried his name all
over the west. Forty years ago he
started to beautify Minneapolis; he has
been at it ever since and expects to
lend a helping hand for many years
to come.
1t was fortunate fate that tempted
him from Chicago and prevailed upon
him to cast his lot with the struggling
villages, growing around the falls Of
st. Anthony in 1860. All that he has
done will never be known, for no one
but himself knows all, and he is the
the same time, it can be justly said,
without belittling the valuable efforts
OF a score or more of public spirited
citizens, that to Mr.. Loring belongs

fishing the famous park system Of this

cally has severed his connection with
the board of park commissioners to re-
tire to private life, it is BETTING that
the .Minneapolitans OF the present day
be made acquainted with his lifelong
services in behalf of the city beautiful.
Mr.. Loring is, first Of all, q practical,
level-headed and successful business
man, but to his commercial instinct
is joined the soul of an artist and
lover of nature. While accused Of be-
ing a dreamer and visionary enthu-
last, his ideas have been. extremely
practical. For instance, when. he
bought a house and lot on Fifth street
and Fifth avenue S, more than forty
years ago and started to plant trees
and lay out lawn, his more practical
neighbors had much fun at his ex-
pense. - The property cost him 5000, but
the next year the trees and lawn sold
for him the property for $4,000. Then
he went out On Fourth avenue few
blocks, repeated the plan Of setting
out some trees and making the place
attractive, with such success that the
place sold the next year for $4,000.
