50 DROWNED
new BRIDGE over ST. LAW
renee RIVER AT QUEBEC.
Great steel Structure Mas 100 Feet
Above Surface Of the Water-n@s
Been Several Years In Construction
and Cost Many Millions Of Dollars
Among Missing Were 10 skilled
American Machinlsts.

Ouebec-The Quebec bridge ell IN
to the st. Lawrence river. Three
score bridge workers are still held IN
the meshwork of debris at the DotIoh
of the river. At roll call ait
ernoon 70 men failed to answer TO thelr
names and were not among Ihe III
iured at the hospital. Fifteen bodles
are at the morgue. OF the total ~
dead or missing 16 are skilled Amer
| can mechanics. Some bodies can De
seen below the surface, tightly Wedgeu
in the mass Of steel.
The terrific height OF the great steer
structure from $50 feet above the sur
face of the river crushed the bodles
lof many of the workmen in a fright
fu1 anner and it is feared many Will
! never be found.
MANY of the dead were Americans
brought here by the Phoenix Bridge
comnanv of Phoenixville, Pa, which
had the contract for he vi
the bridge.
! Rowboats were sent out to examlnt
: the superstructure showing above nt
!, water near the shore, to ascertain Il
, any of the workmen were imprisoned
in the twisted ironwork. None were
found alive.
| Inst below the surface Of the waite
I two bodies were seen, but 1t VIII o.
s impossible to reach them until the tld'
S goes out.
e Roth the local and dominion authorl
ties have taken steps to investigat
the cause of the disaster, and II poss'
n BILE to fix the responsibility.
Some of the workmen expressed u
| belief that the pier gave way under ~
v tremendous strain of the overhanglh
work. NJ. P. Davis Of Ottawa, the col
4 tractor who built the piers, made
d lhasty examination last night, howeve
and reported them to be in good col
IS dition, although the steel superstru
ture had fallen upon them.
IS A locomotive and several frelgi
re cars loaded with steel girders wei
n. moving out on the bridge just befol
the structure collapsed. Engineer Je'
IS went into the river with his engin
10 but was picked up 800 feet below Il
ht bridge. Fireman Davis persisted.
# Engineer Jess was removed to Lev
Hospital, were he rapidly recoVer'
from the effects Of his plunge into Il
lriver.
n According to his story, the ste
oc work ~overhanging the river was Z
first to show signs of weakness.
60 the first signs of danger Jess shut
o. the steam, but his locomotive &C
60 tinued to move toward the end OF t
bridge, which had begun to toter, a
a moment later the engine went IN
the river.

MEETING SANTA FE
BOARD OF TRADE
William r. Grffiths of New York, De-
ivers interesting Address on Max
ing City Beautiful.

An interesting meeting of the Santa
Fe Board Of Trade was held last night
presided over by President L.. Brad
ford Prince. It was fairly well attend
ed and three new members we're ad-
mitted, indicating a revival Of inter-
est in the work of the organization
A feature of the meeting was
very timely and instructive address
by William r. Grfiths, of New
York, who is a guest Of Hon. and Mrs.
L. Bradford Prince. Mr.. Grilfiths is
identified with the United Civic So
cieties of New York, which is an Or
ganization embracing various civic
federatons of the metropolis He is
chairman of the committee having in
charge an extensive plan of boule
wards and parks which was adopted
recently by the United Civic Socie-
ties.
Mr.. Grilliths gave some valuable
pointers to the Santa Feans attend.
ing the meeting last night relative to
making the city beautiful. He spoke
among other things of the desirabili-
ty of having the city mapped and out
lined general plan of making the
city more attractive. He suggested
that the streets be Strengthened and
made wider, at least the principal
thoroughfares in the down town dis
trict. He also said he believed it
would be a good plan to urge the
beautifyng of the grounds at the
railroad stations and the approach to
the city.
"a H. Brodhead, who is correspond
ing secretary presented an extensive
report showing the correspondence
that had been done by the board and
he also submitted another report de-
scribing in detail the good work al
ready accomplished by the board
since it was organized.
A communication was read from the
second assistant postmaster general
relative to the installation of postal
clerk service on the Santa Fe Central
Railway between this city and Tor
rance. Mention was made of this some
time ago in the New Mexican. Two
postal clerks will be installed on the
Santa Fe Central trains beginning
October 1.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted urging the Atchson, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railway Company to
erect modern and commodious depots
in this city and at Lamy junction and
also praying for better train service
between the two points.
It was the sense of the members
present that modern theater should
be erected in Santa Fe at an early
date and the Santa Fe Board of Trade
will cooperate looking to the filling
of this long felt want.
Paul A. F. Walter, who is chairman
of the committee having in charge |,
the Santa Fe pamphlet soon to be
published reported progress in the
work of preparation of the data.

MARION LITTRELL
MAY RESIGN
As Superintendent Of Territorial Peni-
tentiary-To Remain Sheriff of
Colfax County.

IT is stated that it is likely that Su-
perintendent Marion Littrell of the
Territorial Penitentiary will resign
at an early date and will sever his
connection with the Territorial prison
on the first of October. Mr.. Littrell
has not yet resigned as sheriff of Col
fax county, which position he held at
the time of his appointment as super
intendent of the penitentiary by Act
ing Governor Reynolds, to which he
was elected last November by very
handsome majority, for the fifth
time.
The County Commissioners of Col
fax county have not been able to
agree upon the appointment of sue
cessor to Mr.. Littrell as sheriff. In
that county this is highly import
ant position on account of the many
mining camps and great number of
miners within its limits. The sheriff
of Colfax county in order to perform
the duties of that position satisfac-
torily and preserve peace and good
order. as they should be preserved,
and to maintain the supremacy of the
law, must be strong, capable and
nervy man.
The people of Colfax county in gen.
oral and aSnncia11y tha many friends
of Sheriff Littrell desire him to re-
main in the position of sheriff, and
while the matter is not entirely set
tied, it is believed in we'll posted po-
litical circles that Mr. Littrell's resig.
nation is very probable.
Although in Office but three months,
Superintendent Littrell has made
very fine record and the condition of
the penitentiary has been greatly i'm
proved under his superintendent.
