Another Effort to Move Draw
Of Railroad Bridge Results In
Second Days POstpOnement
Support Placed Nearer Centre Of Huge Structure Over River BY
J. H. Gregory Engineers Who Viewed the Scene Said The
Idea Was Impossible Difficult Task

was unsuccessful. The tension spans
were pulled from their settings and
the counter spans snapped like wood
yesterday when the tide lifted the
mass of iron work in the air.
Local civil engineers, including
County Engineer Morgan F. Larson,
who is making a speciality of bridge
work, have watched the progress OF
the work with keen interest, and
claimed that 1t was impossible to lift
the structure as Mr.. Gregory started
to do.
That draw is constructed on the
cantilever principle, and both ends
were made to hang suspended In the
air by tension beams. When the
structure was lifted on the two sides
and not In the centre, the tension
was cut off and compression started,
which the slender beams could not
resist, and the ends rose, but the
centre did not move.
Contractor Gregory realized his
mistake of not placing an extra barge
or two nearer the centre, after the
structure was lifted yesterday When
the tide rose today he placed large
scow near the centre and moved the
four outer ones nearer to the middle
The structure will be taken apart
for iron at Gregory's yard, at the

the lower floor pupils had left the
building, due to the fact that only
the front door was used. Consider
ing this fact, the time of three min
utes and ten seconds was remarkable.
The credit for having the gongs
placed in the schools and the schol-
ars drilled to. respond, when the
alarm is sounded, Is due to Vice
President F. A. Seaman of the Board
of Education. Gongs have been in
stalled under the supervision Of Mr..
Seaman, and already the principal
of each school has drilled, the chill
dren. Fire drills were held In sever
al other schools yesterday and will
continue to be held at various times.
Mr.. Seaman recently offered to pay
for the cost of purchasing and in
stalling gongs in the various paroch-
ial and private schools about the city,
If the principals would accept them
and train their scholars accordingly.
Yesterday morning, Monsignor
O'Connell, of st. Mary's church, sent
Father Corr to Mr.. Seaman with the
message that he would be pleased to
accept gong and would have the
pupils in the Catholic school drilled
to respond Mr.. Seaman said that he
was very much pleased with the ac-
ceptance of his offer and hoped that
other schools would do likewise.

WHITWORTH
QUITS. FORCE
Writes Out Resignation TO Be
Sent 10 Chief Burke, Following
Purchase Of Restaurant.
OFF DUTY LAST NIGHT
TeIephOusd TO Sergeant MCDsT-
mott at 5 O'clock INTENDED
10 Ask for Leave Of Absence

Patrolman Whitworth yesterday
purchased and took possession of the
restaurant business of William E.
Drost. at 5 Smith street. On account
of his new enterprise he did not go
on duty last night and at 5 o'clock
telephoned to Sergeant McDermott
and asked to be reported off duty.
According to the report of the SER
geant, he was told that three men
were already off duty for the night.
Whitworth then, according to Nc
Dermott, said, "Oh, there are plenty
of men to fill my place"
When seen by a NEWS reporter,
this morning, Mr. Whitworth denied
that he had made the foregoing re-
mark and said that he had asked
the sergeant to report him Off be-
cause 1t was impossible for him to
work last night.
Whitworth said this morning that
he had intended to see Chief Burke
this afternoon and ask for a two
months leave OF absence so that he
could go back on the force later IL he
cared to, but that If there was going
to be any trouble over 1t he would
resign at once. In the presence OF
the NEWS man, Mr.. Whitworth
wrote out resignation, to be sent
to Chief Burke.
The chief says that as Whitworth
was absent from duty without per-
mission, there Is no other course
open for him except to prefer charges
at the next meeting Of the Board OF
Aldermen.
Chief Burke received formal
resignation from Patrolman Whit
worth this noon.

Contractor John H. Gregory has a
good sized force of men at work at
the old New York & Long Branch
railroad bridge, and another effort
was made to move it at food tide
today.
Five heavily ballasted scows were
used in the attempt, but every por-
tion of the structure rose with the
exception of the centre. The heav-
lest OF the scows, which is equipped
with suction pumps, was placed Just
north of the table on which the draw
formerly turned The centre seems
to cling fast to the pier which sup
ports it.
The tide was at its highest point
at 1859 o'clock, but even with the
extra scow the structure did not rise
any higher than yesterday. Men
worked all night tearing the turn
table apart. The rollers have been
removed and most of the iron work.
The structure Will, In all proba-
bility, be floated at 2.30 O'Clock to-
morrow afternoon. A large sized
crowd gathered at the Perth Amboy
end of the draw at noon today in
hopes that they would see the struc-
ture moved.

The Warden Was Kind.
JUSTICE HOUsELL TIED KNOT

New Brunswick, Apr. 23:-A pair
of well dressed young people, show
ing every evidence of being elopers,
were made happy In the sumptuous
parlors Of the Middlesex county Jsll
last night, by Justice of the Peace
w. A. Housell, uniting them in the
holy honda of matrimony.
Yesterday Warden Rogers receiv-
ed telephone message from the
couple from Newark, asking II they
could be married in the county 1aii
in this city, and learning that they
had both arrived at the age when
they should have shaken off the
fickleness of the youthful adventurer,
he told them they certainly could be.
He arranged for Justice Housell
to be on hand and about $40 last
evening the beautiful bride and stall
wart groom tripped. blushingly into
the warden's Office. They were ap-
parently very much In love and de-
sirous of having the final words
pronounced without delay.
They gave the names of Miss
Frances Tafe, aged twenty-four, and
John ]. Madigan, aged twenty-six,
of Branchport, N. ].
Their desire for speedy perform
ance of the sacred ceremony and
their anxiety to leave the city as
soon as possible, as we'll as the pc
culiar conditions under which they
asked to be welded, leads those who
have heard of the case to believe
they we're being followed and we're
elopers.
Warden Rogers and Night Warden
Bach were the witnesses to the cero-
mony and they allege that Justice
Housell tied the knot good and tight.
After the ceremony the happy
bride grasping the marriage certif1-

her new hubby by the arm, and
bidding the justice and witnesses a
hearty goodbye, looked sweetly into
Johnnie's face and whispered, Come

TO
HAVE A RACE
WITH DEATH
Loss Of Life and Limb is Expect
ed in The Automobile Contest
Tomorrow.
MANY PERILS IN COURSE
Sharp Turns Plentiful in BriaT-
cliff Roads Over Which Ma
chimes Will Speed.

New York. April 23.-R. e. Morrell,
chairman Of the racing board of the
National Association of Automobile
Manufacturers, who has charge Of the
800 mile trophy event over the Briar-
cliff course In Westchester county,
which will start tomorrow morning,
has made peace with State Engineer
Skene by depositing $4,000 in cash and
check for $1,000 and is assured of
the running of the race.
For several hours it was believed
that efforts to prevent the race would
be successful. When negotiations had
reached stage where everything SEEM
ed satisfactory news was received by
the committee and state officers that
two more accidents had occurred upon
the treacherous course, and for a time
the outlook was uncertain.
No race of this kind was ever plan
ned which promised the disastrous re-
suits anticipated by persons who have
ridden over the thirty-two miles of the
course.
Fifty Turns In Course.
Should twenty cars leave the scratch
In the event 1t Is doubtful If more than
half dozen finish. Men who have
driven fast cars for years declared
that the steeled nerves and the trained
muscles of the drivers will be unequal
to the strain; that there are more than
fifty sharp turns in the course, any
one Of which may bring death to the
drivers and their meohanicians If they
err In the slightest particular.
There are at least thirty turns where
drivers who have any value for their
lives will shut off all power There
are fifteen where the most reckless
must stop power or be manned or kill
ed There are curves so sharp that
the ordinary method Of meeting turn
| by skldding must be avoided because
Of the narrowness of the road
Must Cover Course Ten Times.
The racers must send their cars ten
times ever the course. This zay cause
a shortening Of the race
All along the route grand stands are
being erected. 1t is expected that more
than 100000 persons will witness the
race. The principal points at which
the spectators will gather are Briar
cliff Manor, Eastview, Valhalla, Ar
monk, Pine Bridge, Newcastle Corners
and Mount Kisco Near all of the fifty
| danger points there are banners stretch
ed across the road bearing diagrams Of
the nature of the abruptness in the
road ahead.
The committee In charge of the race
announced that several weeks ago In
surance to the amount of 1921 900 had
been taken out to indemnify the towns
through which the automobiles will
pass in case of accident.
The course will be pollced by SS5
guards, 300 fagmen and 40 deputy
Sheriffs.

Democratic Convention at

AGREED TO ENDORSE BRYAN
Special ep united press wirs:

Springfield, ILL.,, Apr. 23:-Dele-
gates representing the Simon Pure"
Bryan democracy, of Cook county,
which consists Of the city of Chicago
bolted the democratic state conyen-
tion today and are holding a rump
convention in downtown hotel.
They will draw up a protest against
the legality of the big convention
and will name twenty contesting
delegates to the Denver convention.
This action came somewhat as a
surprise for Just before the conven-
ton met all opposition to the en-
dorsement of Bryan seemed to have
collapsed and it was understood that
there would be no opposition to the
resolution instructing the delegation
to support Bryan. This program
was carried out but there was fight
over the wording of it. National
Committeeman Sullivans plan con-
templates sending six delegates to

not to be for Sullivan. Each dele
gate to have two-thirds Of vote and

BRYAN LOSES
NEW JERSEY
Primaries This Far Indicate That
Democratic Delegates Will Go
to Denver UnlnstTuGted.
JAMES SMITH, IR. IN CONTROL

Trenton, Apr 23:-The results of
the democratic primaries held in New
Jersey thus far have convinced the
state leaders that the state delegates
to the Denven convention will go un-
pledged to any candidate. Returns
last night indicate victory in prac-
tically every county for the regular
organization. In Hudson the organ
ization is virtually pledged to Bryan,
but the support which his followers
there may count upon from other
sections is so scattering as to make
control of the convention for Bryan
improbable.
In Mercer county the organization,
which is opposed to Bryan, is in COM
plete control. The situation is said
to be similar in practically every
southern county. This, II Is said,
will leave former United States Sem
ator James Smith, Jr., of Newark,
master of the convention. Smith is
opposed to Bryan
He made known yesterday that he
would accept a position as delegate
at-large to the national convention.
A plan is on foot to oppose the selec-
tion of Robert Davis, of Hudson
county, as a delegate-at-large, and
the success Of Mr.. Smith at the pri-
maries makes il not improbable that
this will be attempted unless truce
is patched up before next Tuesday.
Davis has declared for Bryan and
there is a fight of long standing on
between him and Smith.
It is understood that Frank S.
Katzenbach, Jr., will be one of the
big four.
