ture TO carry four tracks 40 feet above

sweeping curve. Hell Gate, Wards ISL
and. and the Bronx Kills.
IL Will be the longest and heaviest steel
bridge in the world. 40 900 tons of steel
being used in Its construction The rail-
road tracks will be imbedded I'm stone ball
last so as to render the structure noise
less.
When the bridge is completed New

through all-rail route between New Eng
land and the South and West Through
trains from Boston may then run to
New York. Philadelphia. Baltimore and
Washington, Palm Beach, New Orleans,
Chicago, st. Louis, or any other South
ern or western city without leaving the
rails Heretofore cars for such through
trains have been ferried around New

Besides planning a bridge of ample
strength, the company has endeavored TO
make IL a thing of beauty. Ex-Bridge
Commissioner Gustav Lindenthal design
ed the structure, with Henry Hornbostel

The huge arches will be erected in the
same manner as the double cANtilever
bridge on Blackwelrs Island. The carry
ing capacity, IL Is said. will be % times
greater than that OF the Brooklyn bridge.
II Is announced that the rest OF the
connecting railroad will be OF most sub
stantial construction, and there will be
no level crossings. About three years
will be necessary for the completion Of
the whole work.
OF the four tracks two will be for pass

San Francisco, May 2l-For the first
time since the grand Jury inv tigation
was begun Rudolph spreckles discussed
yesterday his purpose in financing the un-
dertalxing and his plans and hopes for city
government
of the prosecution TO leave Mayor Schmltx
and the supervisors In office until the
close Of their official terms, at the end of
the year. Under existing circumstances
no other arrangement was possible. Mayor
Schmity still held the key TO the situa-
tion, he said. and there was no way by
which Schmitz could be ousted
Spreckles, cooperating with other MEM
bers OF the prosecution, has made plans
by which he hopes To secure the election
OF honest officials and the maintenance
OF an honest government. II is his plan
TO form an organization which shall ex-
ercise extra judicial powers.
1t will act as kind OF auditing body
and check up every act OF the city gov
ernment IL will maintain a large force
OF deputies who will watch the various
city officers and report Immediately the
slightest infraction In the words OF
Spreckles, II will check the tendency
of the city OFFICIALS 10 take "A little extra
compensation"
The organization will constitute itself
q perpetual grand jury. Spreckes said:
People OBJECT tndt we nave conleSrcu
criminals on the board OF supervisors.
There is no help for the situation. To
remove them would give the mayor an
opportunity to appoint their successors
and assume control OF the entire city gov
ernment The only difference between
the present situation and the situation
OF last year is that we now have legal
proof OF the criminality OF our officials
'I can assure you that we Will have

as we ever had. No money will be vast

There is the compaint that capital VIII

SOMERVILLE, N. j.. September %
After quarreling over a game of cards in a
back room Of fruit store at Raritan, near
this city, Samuel Savaro waylaid Joseph
Sansone and shot him twice in the back

some fell in the gutter. Savaro walked over
