NO BRIDGE FOR SOUTHEAST
COMMISSIONERS DECIDE Gull
VERT rs BEST FOR N STREET.
County Taxpayers Want Congress to
Divide the Expense of Road
Improvements.

1t is deemed unwise by the Commission
ers to construct a bridge on street
southeast between Branch avenue and
33d place, which improvement has been
requested by number of property own
ers and residents in that section. The
principal objection offered by the Com
missioners is that if such bridge was
constructed it would be purely of tempo
rary nature, and they believe in it's stead
should be built a suitable culvert and
that the street should be brought to grade
above the culvert
The superintendent of county roads es-
Inmates that about $4,000 will be required
to grade N Street and Massachusetts ave-
nue., the latter in some parts to tempo
rary grade. In speaking of this improve
ment. Capt. Markham assistant engineer
commissioner in charge of highways, said
that although the present traffic needs of
the section would not in themselves justi-
fly any expenditure for grading these
streets. it is understood that for the sake
ers will supply $1,000, if Congress will
appropriate an equal amount.
This proposition seems reasonable -
said Capt. Markham, land, Il believe,
would be possibly justified as an impet us
to development in this section. l will
recommend to the Commissioners that
an item be included in this years esti-
mates for $1,000. with the proviso that
property owners deposit a similar amount
for grading street and Massachusetts
avenue

KAISER WANTS AMERICA CUP
GERMAN RULER WOULD LIKE
TO CHALLENGE.
Sir Thomas Upton Ready, But
Would Know If Proposal
Is Acceptable.

LONDON. October 12.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton was greatly interested in the result of
the conference of representatives of the
Atlantic coast yacht clubs. though, as he
said. it left the Americas cup racing
rules in practically the same form as they
have been for the last three years.
"All 1 can say" Sir Thomas stated, lis
that. as everybody knows, I should like to
| challenge again for the Americas cup
even under the universal rule in force at
present if I could get some idea that an
other challenge from me would be favor
ably considered
Sir Thomas is in a quandary. The time
is getting short.
He said:
Il feel considerable hesitation abou. ask
ing my club to send a challenge unless
there is some chance of it's being accepted
1 am willing to build 0O-footer and have
a challenge issued but unless 1 learn
something almost Immediately it would be
impossible to do anything for next year.
| because l could not give the necessary ten
months notice. and 1t does take time to
build boat
1T 1 challenge" added Sir Thomas, Il
shall build not one boat. but two. and
| send across the Atlantic whichever proves
the better in competition"
The universal rule has been thoroughly
studied at Sir Thomas direction by two
of the best yacht designers in Great Brit
ain. William Fife and Alfred Mylne. Both
feel confident that. while they are under
the disadvantage OF never having built
boat under this rule-and in fact no yacht
answering its conditions has been built in
Europe, while a number of swift yachts
have been turned out under the rule in
America-they can design boats which
will give good accounts of themselves.
A well known English nobleman who is
a friend of the German emperor is au-
thority for the statement that the kaiser
would like to challenge for the America
cup. One difficulty that confronts his
imperial majesty. in the opinion of Eng
lish yachtsmen, is that in Germany the
art of designing swift yachts has not yet
reached a mature stage.

Street Crowds and Vehicles.

To the Editor of The Star:
AS l was one of the large crowd
assembled in nth street Saturday be-
fore The Stars electric score board. |
wish to inquire whether it is possible to
have promulgated police regulation for
bidding vehicles from being driven
through crowds assembled in a public
thOroughfare?
1t occurs to the writer to be foolish
practice on the part of drivers of vehicles
to persist in driving through vast crowds
such as were assembled Saturday before
The Star building. They could easily have
passed through 18th street or 10th street
in much less time. Then, too why do peo-
pie persist also in passing through a
crowd when it would be just as easy to
go through another street void of a
crowd? Through the thoughtlessness of
the public they make any amount of I'M
necessary work for the police on duty on
such occasions. At critical point in
Saturdays game there was a constant
string of wagons passing before the
score board, thus obstructing the view
Then there came cries of Move on" Get
out of the way" etc. 1t seems to me that
when a large body of people assemblies in
a public street that that street should he
declared closed and all other traffic di-
rected through other channels. Common
sense should rule. There is always dam
ger of horse becoming unmanageable in
vast crowd. thus causing a stampede
and possible injury.

IDLE RICH WOMAN DENOUNCED
MRS. SANDERSON SAYS THEY

Monopoly in America-Moral
Revolution Needed.

BUFFALO,. October 12-Added interest
has been given the fortieth annual con-
vention of the National American Wom-
an Suffrage Association, which will open
here Tuesday, by the action of Mrs. Annie
Golden Sanderson. the militant English
leader of the suffrage movement, who has
taken occasion to extend her criticism of
1.-The idle rich to the women of this
country. in a letter which will be read
at the convention.
Mrs. Sanderson is at present the storm
center of a controversy in England that
has arisen as a result of her severe rep
rimand of what she terms 1.-The idle rich
of that country. Mrs. Humphry Ward
has been foremost in the ranks Of those
who have replied to the views of Mrs.
SanderSOn.
Mrs. Sanderson says in her letter,
which is addressed to Mrs. Harriet Tay-
lor Upton. treasurer of the National
that she is glad of the opportunity of
replying to the reports which have been
given in the American press with regard
to her opinion of 1.-The idle rich
so far as my remarks apply to the
idle rich women of your country. I do
not think there has been any exagger-
alton" she writes, and adds that these
women are the active force working
against the granting OF the suffrage to
women.
They represent the power Of wealth
and monopoly. continues the English
woman. just as the women led by Mrs
Humphry Ward in England, who have
formed themselves into AN Anti Woman s
Suffrage League, represent the spirit of
feudalism combined with modern imperial
ism, the two most retrograde elements in
English politics today
Mrs. Sanderson stated that American
women are more timid than their Eng
lish sisters and for that reason are less
prepared to take an aggressive attitude

"A moral revolution is needed. equal in

everything from the arrival OF the cattle,

TEN -OLD BOY
WITH SAvANT'S BRAIN
This Story, Coming from Bos-
ton, May Not Be Consid-
cred So Remarkable.

Boston. Special: Although william
j. Sidis. Of Brookllne, 10 years old,
has astounded the learned folk here by
passing the difficult examination for
entrance TO the Massachusetts Insti-
tue OF Technology, and is entitled to
martIculate when the institute opens
tomorrow his parents have decided
that he Is 70 remain at home this year,
studying an he pleases. The boy SO
marvellous in his precocity and In at
tainments along a high plane Of learn
ing is the son of DR.. Boris Sidis. a
Russian. He is practically self edu-
Gated. At 2 years of age he could read
and write. and at 4 vas master OF
four languages, which he spoke fluent
~ and read at sight.
The wonderful y~oungster rapidly out
stripped children many years his senior
in the studies pursued In the public
schools, and when 8 years old entered
the Brookline high school. He re-
NAMED there only five months as he
was far In advance Of the other pupils,
and since that time he has diligently
added to his store of knowledge, until
today ne is quite capable of discussing
the nebular hypothesis or an abstruse
problem in trigonometry.
A few weeks ago the boy undertook
to pass the examinations for the insti-
tute. He was successful, and said that
he did not think they were very hard.
When 1T is remembered that the aver
age age of the tech" man Is II years,
and that the school is at least equal
to any technical school On the con-
tinent, the magnitude Of the boys ac-
complishment will be appreciated. But
his parents. both of whom are physi-
clans, have decided that he should not
be pushed, and that he had best post
pone his course at the institute for a
time.
There is nothing m in VIII
liam's appearance. He has excellent
health. His mother sal hat he de-
rives much enjoyment from the study
Of mathematics and physics and he
reads ~omnivorously. He does not often
play with children, but prefers the
company of adults, with whom he dis
cusses such subjects as are regarded
as academical and upon which he has
decided views.
