EAST RIVER
SPAWNED BY
HUGE BRIDGE
GREAT STRUCTURE IN NEW
YORK Is OPENED

Mayor, Leads Delegation Across.
Cost of Work Twenty
Five Millions
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 1S.-The great
cantilever structure over East river,
known as Blackwell's Island bridge
which was constructed at a cost of
nearly $25, 900, was traversed it's en-
tire length by pedestrians today for the
first time.
Alderman Timothy Sullivan, as the
personal representative of Mayor Nc
Clellan, headed delegation across the
narrow footbridge built on top of the
single steel girder which now links the
New York and Long Island ends of the
bridge. This girder, weighing twenty
tons. was fitted in place today in the
presence of the delegation.
Midway on the footbridge Alderman
Sullivan broke a bottle of champagne
over the rail, an American flag was un-
furled and the whistles on the river
craft footed a salute.
Work on the bridge was begun in
1901, and has been carried on con-
stantly since then. There have been
many fatalities among the workmen
employed on the great highway. When
completed the bridge will be the largest
cantilever structure in the world. 1t
will be double decked and S449 feet in
length. The length of the main span is
1882 feet between the towers.
In the middle of the upper deck, be-
tween the trusses, there are to be two
elevated railroad tracks and two prom
enades, each eleven feet wide. The six
tracks across the bridge are estimated
to have capacity of 15O,0O0O00 passen-
gers a year under ordinary conditions

THE DIVORCE SUIT BRINGS OUT
SHOCKING CHARGES
Lord RosIyn and an italian Marquis
Named as Correspondents
by American Multi
Millionaire

Ey Associated Press.
PARIS, March 18.--Maitre Labori to-
day presented to the court the side OF
the husband in the divorce suit brought
in this city by Mrs. A. Hart Mckee
against Mr. Mckee.
The first hearing of the case took
place March 4, when Mrs. Mckee
through counsel. described alleged in
dignities to which she had been sub
jected by her husband.
Today Maitre Labori made counter
charges of a most scandalous character
against the wife, and declared that II
the court granted a divorce it should
pronounce In favor of the defendant
and not in favor of the wife.
Mrs. Mckee is a daughter of George
w. Baxter of Tennessee. She was the
widow of Hugh Tevis at the time of her
marriage to Mr.. Mckee in Philadelphia
In January, 1906. Maitre Labori de-
clared Mr.. Mckee married Mrs. Tevis
to save her honor. He mentioned also
an italian marquis as correspondent
Maitre Labori at the outset COM
planned bitterly of the flood of accusa-
tions against his client with which he
said the American press had been filled
ACCUSES woman
The allegations of Mr.. McKee's cru
city to his wife and child and the fla
grant wrongdoing were denied, and
then in support of the contention that
Mr.-and not Mrs.-McKee should re-
ceive the decree of divorce Maitre La
bori proceeded to describe Mrs. Mckee S
alleged career while she was still Mrs
Tevis.
He coupled her name with that OF
Lord Roslyn, and declared that she and
Mckee were living together at a hotel
two days after they met
Continuing counsel for the husband
declared that his client had paid Mrs.
McKee's bills, amounting to $4,000
while she was in the south of Europe,
and to disprove the charge of parsi-
mony against him he declared that dur
ing a single night Mckee had spent 1920
on flowers for his wife.
Maitre Labori made charges, but he
offered no proof of Mrs. McKees mis-
conduct with Lord Roslyn. His allega-
ton was based on the fact that Mrs.
Mckee, when she was Mrs. Tevis, and
Lord Rosyln stopped at the same hotel
In Folkstone.
In the case of the Italian marquis no
other proof was submitted except that
Mr.. Mckee saw his wife and the mar
uuis emerge from garden together.
Maitre Labori did not conclude his
presentation of the case, and the hear
Ing will be continued March 20.

WASHINGTON
BOYS BREAK
COAL RECORD
TAKE ON FUEL WITH ONE BIG
RUSH
Is Dirty Work and SaiIormen Hustle
Some to Get 1t Done-Ten.
nesse Will Coal
Today

Just to please a Herald reporter and
let him get good action picture the
boys on board the Washington coaled
ship at the rate of $50 tons an hour
for a while yesterday and broke the
record.
The collier Justin lay alongside and
from the hold came forth in endless
succession huge wicker baskets and
canvas buckets filled to the brim with
black, grimy coal that filed lungs with
its dust and made white cruiser look
like 1t had been neglected for untold
months.
Down in the hold of the collier scores
of grimy men shoveled the coal into
the receptacles that were lowered
through the enormous matches, while
several crews manned the electric
winches that swung high and across
from collier to ship the twin loads that
weighed nearly a ton.
AS the hook was fastened in the ham
die of the big buckets they were
caught up, and as they reached the
deck the crew on the cruiser started
it's windlass and pulled the swinging
load to the deck of the ship, where
other crews placed the loads on little
four wheeled trucks and hauled them
across decks to the coal chutes, where
they were dumped into the yawnlng
bunkers below.
Ensign Some Different
One dapper ensign who the day be-
fore was officer of the deck and i'm
periously turned his back on all who
were not his superiors in rank, ap-
peared yesterday in charge of another
part of the deck and his natty uniform
of blue was replaced by faded blue
jumper and overalls. A grimy smudge
of soft coal from dirty hand was
rubbed on the sweaty cheek that only
a day before was of color to set the
heart of young girl dancing A closer
scrutiny of some of the men in blue
overalls disclosed that most of them
were ensigns or midshipmen who the
day before had walked the quarter deck
in a proud assumption of dignity.
The sailors as a rule wore white duck
or what had been white duck once.
After a few minutes coaling there is
little white left and with some MEM
bers. of the crew there was marked
shortage of duck.
Every one kept busy and what spoke
eloquently for the Willingness of the
men was the fact that not sharp COM
mand or a harsh word came from the
officers experimenting the work.
The boys seemed to enter into the
thing with the spirit of play, and
