WILL ABANDON
ST. GAR SERVICE
Cars Will Not Be Run After
Monday on Ninety Sec
ond Street Bridge.

For the first time in the history of
the Ninety-second street bridge the
street car service will be abandoned.
Its delapidated condition has caused
many accidents. It has been condemned
and then repaired again.
The street car service on Ninety-sec-
ond street has been wretched for the
past two years. Only about two weeks
ago the bridge was nearly knocked off
its foundation, caused by a big boat
running into 1t. Since the consolida-
ton of the Calumet Electric the trafis
has been increased and the delays
caused by the condition became mors
numerous.
street Railway Company Busy.
General Manager Sloan of the South
Chicago City Railway Company said.
to TIMES reporter this morning that
he had stationed man at the bridge
to get the time how long the street
cars were delayed at that point. He
was kept there for over two weeks
ana IL Was lOuLQ II WOAiu NC use
less to try to give any service and pass
over the dilapitated bridge. So the ser
vice over the Ninety second street
bridge will be discontinued and the
cars will run from Ninety second and
Erie down to Ninety fifth street and
then over the same route to One Hun
dred and Sixth street.
The street car company is now busily
engaged in building a double track
over Ninety fifth street from Avenue
n to Ewing avenue, which is supposed
| to be completed by next Monday.
Extension on Ewing Avenue.
An extension will be made on Ewing
avenue from One Hundred and Sixth
street to One Hundred and Eighth
street and the cars will probably run
down One Hundred and Eighth street
hereafter The company will also put
in brick pavement on Sixty-ninth
street from Ontario avenue to Exchange
avenue in Windsor Park.
AS soon as the cars start running
over the Niney- fifth street bridge the
residents of South Chicago and the East
Side can breath a little easier as the
service will be more prompt as the de-
lay caused by the Ninety fifth street
bridge will not be as great as that of
the Ninety -second street bridge as it is
a Jack-knife model and is operated
by electricity, while the old delapidated
structure over the river at Ninety-sec-
ond street is turned by hand.
The Ninety-fifth street bridge car
leave a boat through its bridge in about
three or four minutes, while it always
takes from ten to fifteen minutes al
the Ninety-second street bridge.

COTTAGE ON ADAM STREET
BURNED LAST NIGHT.
Mike Zefi Loses His House and Claims
Buns Set 1t ON Fier.

A cottage owned by Mike Yak. To-
Gated on Adams street between Seven
tenth and Eighteenth avenues, was de-
stroyed by fire last night at 1:15, the
hour which seems to be chosen by the
incendiares for their work.
The house was not an expensive
building aid although all of the furni-
ture in the place was burned, the loss
will not be more than $500. Eek claims
that buns set the place on fire, but the
police are not inclined to believe his
story.

tonight with speech by Congress
man James E. Watson. candidate for
governor, at Fort Wayne. Several
state officials and prominent members
of the party from this city will par
ticipate.
Persons in a position to know say
that the opening speech is one of the
strongest if not the strongest ever
prepared by Congressman Watson. 1t
would fiji about fifteen columns of the
average fill about fifteen dwells par
ticularly on the temperance question
the discussion of that question fill
ing, it is said about four or five col
ums.
Touch Other Issues Lightly.
Trusts and state expenditures are
also given considerable attention and
other questions and issues are more
lightly touched. This makes the speech
absolutely timely, friends of Watson S
say, as temperance is the paramount
issue in Indiana, as trusts was the sub
ject of William ]. Bryan's speech yes
terday, at the Kern notification, and as
state expenditures have been criticised
strongly by Thomas R. Marshall, demo
cratic candidate for governor and other
speakers of that party.
! Mr.. Watson has prepared his speech
with great care and the state commit

Temperance clearly the issue. All other
questions are made subsidiary to this
He discusses the two kinds of loca
option proposed-one by counties and
the other by townships and the city
wards and insists that the one is
great advance step while the other i!

The candidate declares his intention
to stand with both feet upon the plat
form of his party and refers to hi

This law was asked for by Chief
Martin, so that man could be picked
up and placed under arrest without
having any specific charges placed
against him, as it was necessary to do
heretofore. All he has to do is to
charge the man with disorderly conduct,
which may include any one of Of

THE CITY COURT.
The Cayanaugh Case Goes Over Until
 Next Monday.


 In the city court to-day the case against John Cavanaugh for attempt ing to murder Mrs Edith French was postponed to next Monday morning There is no appreclable change in the condition of the wounded woman.
 John Healey was fined $5 and costs for intoxieation, and a printer named Charles O'Brien was given the alter native of leaving town before morn ing or going to jail for thirty days.
 Jacob Metersky charged with ob- taining $100 on a confederate bill for that amount, pleaded not guilty. He was arrested yesterday in New Haven by Detective Colesanto who was accompanied to the Elm city by Metersky's brother-in-law, Isaac Ses- selman, the one who actually obtain ed the money. Sesselman bought a ten cent collar at Harry Johnson's s store on Grand street week ago and asked him if he would change a $100 bill. Johnson said he would where upon Sesselman withdrew and in a few minutes returned with the bill and was given the money. A num- Der of Johnson's friends gathered around to see the bill, remarking that it was long time since they had seen one so large. When Johnson took the bill with his other money Monday morning to the bank, the clerks there laughed at him and threw some light into his mind. Sesselman' arrest followed. The case was adjourned from day to day to give Sesselman time to land his brother-in-law, Me tersky, who gave him the confederate bill. Hearing Metersky was to be in New Haven yesterday Sesselman and Colesanto went there and saw him near the postoffice. He was taken into custody and on being searched $43 and ticket from the old coun- try were found on him. He explain ed that he bought the ticket with some of the money obtained on the confederate bill, and he was willing to make good to Johnson. The ticket was to bring his wife over. Meter sky's defense was that he found the bill on Chapel street, New Haven, and preferred to have it changed in Waterbury so that his friends would not know he had so much money Sesselman said he was glad to see a $100 bill for it was the first one of that size he ever saw. The highest denomination he ever saw before that was a $10 bill. He had only been few years in the country Metersky was fined $30 and costs and commit ted to jail for three months.

WASHINGTON Feb 1.-THE legality of the crea-
ton by President of the Inland Waterways
Commission was question by Mr.. Tawney, Min
nesota chairman of the Committee Appropria-
tions in the House OF Representatives to-day.
The point was raised when Mr. Tawney urged
that the House conferrees disagree TO the Senate
amendment TO the urgent deficiency bill granting
s1S75 to Senator John H. Bankhead for services
as a member Of the commission. Mr.. Tawney de-
clared that he did question the motives of the
Chief Executive, but insisted that his action
without authority of law.
A different opinion entertained by Mr..
Crumpacker. Indiana, who claimed that In extra
constitutional and legal matters the President
Gid have authority to incur expenses of this char
acter and he cited the anthracite coal strike
mission.

commit this House appropriation in viola
