FLOOD CAUSES FALL
OF BRIDGE; z DIE
Steel Structure Over Susquehanna
Gives Way Under Terrific Strain.
Two Score Hurled Into
Water
B.. Associated Press.

3. Associated Press
BLOOMSBURY, Pa, Dec. 10.-High
water tonight caused the collapse of a
new bridge in course of construction over
the west branch of the Susquehanna
river at Mifflinville, eight miles north of
here, and resulted in the death of seven
men and the injury of nearly a score of
others, two perhaps fatally. Forty men
were at work on the traveller on the mid
die span of the bridge when it collapsed
They were all thrown. into the swollen
river
The collapse of the bridge was caused
by the rapid rise ir the river. The water
rose during the day at the rate of almost
one foot an hour and debris carried down
the stream by the flood struck the false
work of the bridge and caused its col
lapse.
A large tree trunk struck the false work
just before the bridge fell. The accident
occurred at nightfall, when the men
were preparing to abandon their work.
The bodies of four were found entangled
in the girders.
One of the most remarkable escapes
was that of William Nesbet, who was
caught in the iron work and held a pris-
oner for an hour with his mouth and chin
above the water before being rescued.
The bridge was being built by the state
to replace the one carried away in a
freshet in 1903,

majority somewhat smaller than in pre-
vious years
Two features contributed notably to the
return of Republican mayor after six
years of Democratic administration one
being the heavy vote given to the Inde-
pendence league candidate by Democrats,
and the other the thorough investigation
made by finance commission into the
affairs at the city hall, in which evidence
was brought forth alleging irregularities

CUE EXPERTS
GET BUSY

Experts believe this will be the most
interesting season in billiards for many
years. AS both Sutton and Schaefer, who
hold the 1872 and the 1871 championships,
reside in Chicago, most of the play is
likely to take place there. But Albert
Cutler of Boston and Willie Hoppe of
New York, not to mention Ora Morning
star, propose to get busy so that before
spring the scene of the championship
contests may be. shifted to the east. Gut
Ter and Slosson have been matched for
an lSO0-point 18.1 game to take place at
Slosson's parlors i'll New York, to begin
next Monday night, at 300 points a nigh:
so that there will be solid week of
play in New York.
Hoppe has the billiard sharps guessing.
They expected that he would challenge
Tor the 1S.l title as soon as he landed in
this country, but up to date the boy has
manifested no desire to play any one
night matches. He says there is no pro-
fit In them and will stick to special
matches where no titles are involved and
where the number of points will necessi-
tate three or more nights of continuous
play. Later on Hoppe intends to recover
his 1871 title. AS a champion he would
be compelled to play several one-night
matches in defense of his title and he
has an aversion to such brief contests.
e is willing 10 play either Sutton or
Schaefer a match of from 1900 to 25OO
points for good sized wager, no title to
be involved.
On top of Morningstar's challenge to
Sutton comes Slosson's proposition to
Hoppe. The lad announced that he was
open for challenges and last Saturday
Slosson made him proposition. The
veteran is willing to play an 1871 match
of 700 points in blocks of 300 a night, for
"a S1Ihgfanfial al q
January date to Hoppe. The latter will
agree to this, but wants the match to
consist of at least 1900 points in blocks
of roo points. These slight differences will
be settled at conference at which the
exact date will be set.

ARMY MEDICAL SERVICE
POOR; JAPAN'S BETTER
Or. Frederick Green of Chicago Says
Surgeons Have Not Enough Con-
troll Over Military
Hospitals
By Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-Dr. Frederick r.
Green of this city, secretary of the COM
mittee on medical legislation of the
American Medical association, declared
today at meeting of the convention that
the army medical service is far inferior
to that of Japan and that in case of war
with that country many American
soldiers would be in hospitals, while
nearly ali of the Japanese would be
available for active duty.
The reason, he said. is that the army
surgeons have not sufficient authority
over the hospitals. The legislation ad-
vocated by the committee is reorganiza-
ton and increased efficiency in the army
hospital corps, the appointment of dental
surgeons in the navy. the establishment
of a corps of trained women nurses in
the navy and equalization of pay for
medical officers in the government SER
