BASCULE BRIDGE
FOR SOUTH CHICAGO
Alderman Moynihan Conf
dent He Can Get the
Appropriation.
WILL CROSS RIVER At 92ND
Structure VIII Cost $3.50, ,OO0-Win
Be Great Improvement on Pres
ent Antiquated One.
Especial to Lake County Timeu.l

South Chicago, Nov. 2-Should the
plans of p H. Moynihan, alderman of
the eighth ward, be carried out South
Chicago is assured of new bridge for
Ninety second street. Mr. Moynihan
now has plans prepared for a bascule
structure which is to cost no less than
s225,00O. and which he will present at
the first session in December when the
various appropriations are made
The alderman is very confident that
the appropriation for South Chicago
viii be allowed and has conferred with
Thomas G. Pielfeldt, the city's bridge
engineer, who advised that Mr.. Moyni-
han have plans prepared and present
them.
A new bridge for Ninety second
street is an urgent necessity, both
from a standpoint Of traffic and as a
matter of economy. the old bridge hav-
ing cost in the neighborhood of $780,
900 in repairs since its erection eigh-
teen years ago. 1t is now out of COM
mission, owing to having been rammed
several days ago by a boat and no
street cars are permitted to cross until
some time next week. when 1T is ex-
pected that Ii will be repaired. All
passengers desiring to cross the bridge
must transfer to another car.
Lowering, Big Item of Expense.
One of the large items of expense
on the present bridge came In when 1t
was found necessary to lower the
structure ten feet. At that time 1t
was put up high with the intention OF
permitting tug boats and small boats
to pass underneath. This arrange
ment, however. was found to be I'm
practicable and consequently it was
lowered
The present structure is. hand
propelled swinging bridge. while the
new one will be operated with steam
power or electricity.
In order that passage over the river
may be possible while the new bridge
is under construction, the old struc-
ture will be moved little to the north
but will, upon completion of the new
bridge be removed entirely.
Mr. Moynihan is confident that his
plans will be carried out and while
the construction will not be begun this
year he assured the people of South
Chicago of better facilities for next
year.

molished and the Wreckage Strewn

Especial to Lake County Times1

South Chicago. Nov. "A battling

of the Woodlawn station today. An

ords, was issued to the Maxwell -Bris-
coe-Chase company, Seventy-fourth
street and Kimbarlx avenue.
May Have Been n Tragedy.
A tragedy may have occurred when
the train crashed into the touring car,
but the police have found no indica-
tions to that effect The wreckage of
the magnificent machine was strewed
along the railroad track for three
blocks. but no articles of clothing.
blood or other evidences of death or
injury could be discovered.
One theory Of the police is that the
automobile had been stolen and that the
thief jumped when he saw the head
light OF the LOCOMOTIVES bearing down.
A search was made for traces of a
ma ~As~A&. but none was there. In
qu S the neighborhood furn-
ished ~ 1t is also thought that
the car Ugh, cave been abandoned at
the crossing.
Train Going at High Speed.
Near where the accident occurred the
Illinois Central trains turn from a
north and south direction to east and
west. The passenger train was east
bound and was pounding the rails al
a high rate Of speed 1t struck the ma
chine squarely and in such manner
that the destruction of the car was
complete.
Parts of the machine were found
three blocks away. One wheel was on
the railroad track near Adams avenue
and the license number was discovered
between Seventy first and Seventy
ond streets.
The automobile was new and of ex-
pensive pattern. The locomotive came
out of the collision unscathed

first authoritative state nent concerning
the cause was given out today by Dr..
William F. Boos, OF the Harvard Medi-
cal School. who subjected the body 70
an exhaustive analysis lasting several
weeks
While the chemists report establishes
the direct cause Of death, Of course il
casts no light upou who administered
the poison. Following is the statement
given out today by the attorney for Ed

The autopsy on the body Of the late

Of the medical examiner is that the
deceased died as a result Of acute
arsenical poisoning. The arsenic was
found IN several OF the organs
This, however, would probably be the
case whether the poison was administer
ed in one dose or in several. There
Is no reason whatever for suspectIng

Would Not Gain Favor
in Congress.
S tudTeS Government
Clerks Pension System
and Believes 1t Is
Popular.

A civil pension list for superannuated
Government clerks Instead OF the plan
OF retiring them on annuities collected
from their salaries. will probably be
the result Of the agitation in Congress
OF the subject OF retirement, according
10 Representative James r Mann Of
Illinois.
Mr.. Mann, who is Speaker Cannon's
right hand man on the floor of The
House. and who has taken particular
interest in the Government clerk Ques-
tion, will WELD. perhaps. more influence
III the disposal Of the matter than any
one man in the House.
Studies the Plan.
I have studied this thing for years"
said Mr.. Mann today, and now 1 am
inclined to favor civil pension list I

Pension List Solution.
I'VE want to encounter neither Of
these alternatives And am inclined
10 believe that a civil pension list will
be the ultimate solution of the diff
Guilty. Whether Congress or the coun-
try will sanction It at this session, is
another matter. Personally, 1 do not
believe they will. The most we can
hope for this session Is some sort Of
legislation that may &c Introductory
to, or in preparation for, the actual en-
forcement OF the plan.
There Is no earthly use n our adopt
Ing or trying 20 adopt a ian that will
not be practicable. I tell you what I
do think: II we put into eject a plan
for the retirement OF clerks on the
annuity arrangement, as has been so
often suggested. the annuity collections
viii be exhausted in a few years and
then the Government will be morally
bound to take over the payment Of the
annutues, and thus there Will be estab-
llshed a civil pension list in the end.
The best thing for Congress to do,
therefore, Is 10 address itself to the
task OF determining right away whoth-
er there shall be a civil pension list
when II shall go into effect, and so on.
There Will undoubtedly be wide dis
cussiOn Of the matter this session, for
the Committee or Reform in the Civil
Service, OF which / am a member will
bring into the House for action a bill
dealing with the subject But I am OF
the opinion that the perfected plan
can not be legislated into law this ses-
sion"

IF the American people won't work
any more. they Will have moro financial
troubles on their hands and more OF the

Is to pass an emergency currency law

This, IN brief, is the text OF the re-
marks made at the White House today
by senator Reed Snoot Of Utah. Sena-
tor Smoot has just returned from the
West and reports business picking up
one OF the worst conditions In his State
and throughout the Western tier Is the
fact that all labor is performed BY for
eigners, and they send their money
abroad as soon as they collect It from
the paymaster.
We've got TO have a change of condi-
uOns pretty sOOn,' said Senator Smoot
''Or Wei not have any money at Eli to
do business with. ThroughOut our state
all the labor is done by Foreigners
mostly Greeks. Every payday they
gather together every cent they can
spare outside OF their bare living ex-
penses. and ship It home. That means
more Greeks.

Meyer that postal savings lank or

expectation OF cash IS, believe, wrong

ter how much the Government NAV

foreigner won't use It.
II am hopeful that the present Panic
will result in n return 70 the old con-
ditions under which the American wasn't
too good to work. Nowadays tNe Am
erican citizen is a speculator. He won't
do anything with his hands He wants
all his work done by somebody else so
he can devote his energies to speculatinC
to getting rich of the energies OF
