The engineers began to probe for the bed
rock
They went down some hundred feet and
then called in the biologists. The geolo-
gists assured them that the bedrock was
down there somewhere II they only went
deep enough.
The Hudson, 1t was explained, had been
eating it's way through the rock for some
centuries as geologic time is reckoned.
Contemporaneously with the making of the
river the territory through which It ran
had gradually subsidized possibly IN inch
or two a century, thereby making the
Hudson the extraordinary river it is. The
ancient mouth of the river used to be
somewhere out by Sandy Hook; what is
now Long Islahd sound Is but tributary.
All this being so, said the biologists,
it was easy to see that the Hudson was a
mighty deep river. They didn't know why
there was no record of the depth of the
bedrock, but they were ready to assert
TINT 1t was there.
The bed, as a general thing, sloped grad
ually from source to mouth, buried under
the mud and slime of centuries Along
through the highlands there was mo- fault
in the Bedrock; so II the engineers just kept
on going down they would find It,
The engineers went at the measuring
job again. 1t isn't an easy task probing
through the muddy bed of an old river;
your measuring instrument soon gets
stuck and you think you've hit the rock
when you haven't.
But it can be done. and the engineers of
the water board are doing 1t. At last re-
ports they had gone down 4SO feet Chief
Engineer Smith said they would go down
1900 feet II necessary, but he expected they
would find 1t at about 1000 feet.
The crossing from Storm King to Break
neck he said, was by all odds the most
desirable on the river. When the depth
of the bedrock was ascertalned then would
come the planning of the method OF cross
ing. 1t had already been decided that a
tunnel through the rock was the most
feasible method.
The crossing could be made in four ways
First, by number OF pipes laid on the
surface OF the muddy bottom. The trouble
with this method was that II wouldn't be
permanent. The pipes would require fire.
quent repairs and would often have to be
renewed entirely, thereby partially inter-
rupting the water supply of the city. Alto
gether IL would be an Internal nuisance.
Second shield tunnel could be built
through the clay and silt. The construc-
ton OF such tunnel would be expensive
both in life and money. One had only to
read the record of accidents in tunnels
now building around the city to appreciate
how dangerous the work was
The cost. too. had to be reckoned Fur
thermore. such tunnel was not practical
Bile. 1t couldn't be constructed as tun-
nels for traffic are built because of the in
ternal pressure Of the huge flow Of water.

Hastings on the Pardon.

DAVID CITY. Neb, Jan, Ito the
Editor of The Bee: What do ! think about
Mickey's action in pardoning Mrs. Lille?
Well what I really think about Mickey
and his exercising Of the pardoning power,
not only In this case but in many others,
would not look well in print. 1t would be
more emphatic than elegant He COM
mitted many infamous acts In his exercise
Of the pardoning power but that was the
most infamous OF all. There is no excuse
or justification whatever for it. His at
tempted excuse for 1t is so without merit
that it brands him, in the minds OF all
right thinking people, as either a fool or
knave. In my judgment, a man who so
abuses the authority placed in his hands
by the people is a greater enemy Of and
more dangerous 20 organized society than
any criminal he pardons. suca acts as his
brings public officers into disrespect. Peo-
pie lose confidence in them. II brings about
a disrespect and disregard of the law, and
II those placed in ONCE and given the
supreme power in such matters violate the
spirit OF the authority why should not the
ordinary fellow think he can? Such acts
breed anarchy. The man invested with
authority who does such things is as much
an anarchist as the man who carries
red flag In one hand and a bomb In the
other for the destruction Of organized gov
eminent. His unlimited exercising of the
pardoning power is a disgrace TO our great
state. Every man who voted to help place
him in power shares, 20 g certain extent,
the disgrace with him. To that extent we
who voted for him must blush for shame,
for he can't.
In the Lille matter he says that he read
the evidence and considered some new evil
denee. and that he had some doubt. as to
her guilt. Now, any one who knows any
thing about the evidence taken In that
case knows that there was about 1900
typewriter pages OF 1t. and that II would
be a physical impossibility for a man 10

consideration Of the matter Of her par

Harrington Not n Jacksonian.
O'NEIL, Neb., Jan. Ito the Editor of
The Bee:
In your issue of yesterday you publish
in your editorial columns the following par
agraph:
One of the guests prominently in evidence
rington. PRESIDENT of the recently organ
lied Public Ownership of Railroads league.
Either the invitation to Harry Bronze as
vice president Of the league miscarried or
he neglected to send the usual letter OF re-
grets.
1 am satisfied that the editor of The Bee
believed it to be true that / attended the
Jacksonian banquet But 1t is not true.
was invited by several OF its members to
attend but declined to do so, although
was in Omaha at the time on professional
business. 1 assumed that the speakers at
the banquet who were assigned political
subjects, really represented the political
sentiment of the managers of that organ
ization The speakers so assigned were
Hon. l.. T. Genung OF Iowa, Hon. G. NJ.
Hitchcock of Omaha and Hon. Warren
switzler of Omaha. am not at all in
harmony with the political ideas of these
| gentlemen. l differ with them just as much
| as / do with the editor of The Bee, and
| perhaps even more. These gentlemen all
stand for mossback democracy. They want
no progress. They want to go back to the
old rut. They are all opposed to the gov
eminent ownership of railroads They be-
lieve In the existing system. 1 have 1t
from Mr. Hitchcock personally, on the very
day that we formed the league that he y as
opposed to public ownership of railroads
and feared the Centralized power there
! of and regarded the power that would be
placed in the hands of the administration
as dangerous" AS he regards this power
as dangerous" OF course we must figure
him as one OF our stalwart enemies The
other two gentlemen evidently are of like
opinion. The public ownership of railroads
is going to break up party lines as no other
question has broken them up since the
ment, the orators at the Jacksonian club
will naturally be found in whatever party
stands for the system of Rockefeller Hill,
Hartman, Ryan and Morgan. The rest
of us will be found in another party.
Where the Jacksonian club generally will
be when this division arrives, l cannot
foretell. II they were forced to take a
stand on the question today the members
of the Jacxsonian club would night as badly
as the famous Kilkenny cats. Influential
in that club are those who stand for the
existing system. But there are also in
that club many courageous honest, intel
ligent men who are not afraid to take the
peoples side on the railroad question.
Yours truly, NJ. F. HARRINGTON.
