MAY BUILD
new BRIDGE

That a project which has been enter.
tanned bv the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company for many years may
become an eventuality is indicated in
the fact that the railroad has sought
the permission of the executive COM
mittee of the Board of Park Commits
sioners to make soundings in Brandy
wine creek. the purpose of which is To-
establish the feasibility of substituting
the present bridge over north Brandy
wine creek with a stone bridge.
The park committee has granted the
railroad permission TO make the sound
ings. and the work will be begun at
once. The soundings are to be made
by the company's engineers to deter
mine the cost and labor of placing
piers in the creek. The present bridge
over the creek is Of steel. 1t is We. y
high above the stream, and whether
the proposed stone bridge would be
built on the same grade or made lower
has not been determined. The pro-
iect. in fact has not advanced beyond
the request fo- permission to make
soundings. and Il depends on the report
of the engineers whether the proposed
Improvement will be made
In view Of the fact that the railroad
has shown a little hesitancy in favoriHs
the request OF the Peoples Railway
Company and the order of the city as
well 60 construct a new bridge over
its tracks at Seventh street. IL is prob.
able that work on the proposed new
bridge over Brandywine creek would
not be taken up Immediately Andrew
+. Sanborn. attorney for the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. at recent meetin6
OF tho Street and Sewer Directors in
dicated that the railroad had felt the
financial depression very heavily aud
requested on that account that IL be
excused for delay in constructing the
Seventh street bridge The railroad
has not yet begun work on the bridge,

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. 2s-,
When YOU enlist in the army and
surgeon wants TO remove part OF
your anatomy. and you refuse to SUBJ
NIT to the operation. you are liable to
court martial and discharge.
This is what happened to Prlvats
Constant Miserez. of Company I, 18th
Infantry. at Fort Brady. Michigan. ac-
cording to a report that has just reach
ed the War Department.
Whether or not his name had any
thing to do with It, is not stated. The
surgeon wanted to remove some vari-
cose veins but Miserez declined to sub
NIT. He was. therefore, tried ty
court martial on the charge of 'cor..
duct to the prejudice of good order and
military discipline. in violation OF the
sixtv-second article of war"
Miserez pleaded guilty and was
sentenced Ito be dishonorablv dis
charged from the service Of the United
States. forefeiting all pay and allow.
ances due him."
This action was approved by Major
General Grant. commanding the de-
partment Of the Lakes. and the soldier
is now out of the army, with his namt
and his veins. probably thanking his
lucky stars that he was not also
sentenced TO a few months of haru
labor for his crime.

ON HIDES
And LEATHER
Considered at the Meeting of
the Ways and Means Com
mittec To-day
BY United Press Leased Special w,rs

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S-Hides and
leather occupied the attention OF the
Ways and Means Committee to-day.
President Fred Vogel, OF the Nation
al Association Of Tanners. asked that
hides be placed on the free list. He
charged that the tariff Of Is per cent.
which was tackled on the bill by the
Senate I'm the late hours Of the work in
framing the Dingley bill had benefited
nobody but the packers. The Ameri-
can supply of hides was 40 per cent.
Of the total number required by the
leather men AMI high prices We're die
tated by the beef packers In answer
to questions by Congressman Boutell.
Nogol said that free hides would not
result I'm cheaper leather or shoes. at
least for the present. He said that II
hides were placed on the free list he
would be willing 10 have the duty on
leather reduced from 20 10 10 per cent.
letter written by Charles A.
Schieren. Of New York, was read TO the
committee. Schieren said that the
hide tariff had not beefited the farmers
but only The packers. When hides are
cheap. he said. the packers go into the
tanning business. and In addition 10
controlling the prices OF hides. they
control 20 per cent. Of the sole betting
leather production.
There was also submitted to the
committee a resolution adopted by the
National Association Of Tanners. ask
ing that the new tariff bill provide for
a maximum and minimum tariff
Because OF the duty on hides. all the
people in the country pay tribute TO
the Chicago packers according 20
David Leas. Of Philadelphia. He said
that with hides on the free list he
would be willing to have oak leather
free.
Elisha Cobb. Of Boston a manufac-
turer OF upper feathers. informed the
committee that he would be willing to
have that product on the free list, II
the tariff was taken or hides.
A similar statement vas made by f.
B. Alexander of New York, with re-
gard TO leather betting. II. n. Hill. a
Cleveland tanner. also asked for free
hides and for reduction OF the tarifi
on carriage leather.

Will Settle Trust Problem.
''The rigid enforcement Of stringent
laws AGAINST rebates and special trans

in restraint Of trade will ultimately
settle the trust problem. chiefly because
trusts are as excessively capitalized.
IT may be necessary also TO regulate
banking as TO insure that small pro-
ducers can borrow money at the same
rates paid hv trusts and TO limit the
monopoly Of raw materials

TWO DIVORCES
WERE GRANTED
Mrs. May MCGarvey Said HuS-

She Was So Large
WIFE REFUSED
TO LIVE IN CITY

Superior Court to-day divorced two
more mismated couples They were
Mrs May and Robert McGarvey and
Emmanuel and Mollie Roth. Judge
Edwin r. Cochran appeared for Mrs.
McGarvey and George A. Elliott for
Mr. Roth.
Hearing in the McGarvey case re-
vealed story OF marital differences
from the time Of their marriage here
1903 until they separated in 1906.
On one occasion, Mrs. McGarvey said,
her husband had broken open a door In
her home and with revolver I'm hand
threatened 10 shoot her "He said he
was ashamed Of me because / was so
large" she added. McGarvey heard his
WIS testimony but did not dispute IT,
Previous TO the hearing, Judge Coch-
ran asked for an order for SIS on Nc
Garvey toward expenses In his wife's
suit, but as the RESPONDED Informed
the court that he was without money,
having been out OF employment for the
last nine months. Judge Cochran's APP
plication was refused. After Mrs. Nc
Garvey had been granted her decree on
the groud Of cruelty. Judge Spruance
called 'McGarvey TO the bar and in
formed him that as the decree obtain
ed by his wife would not be made tinal
until after one year he was not marry
until after tho expiration Of that per-
iod. Mrs McGarvey who sat near by,
thinking the caution was intended for
tar as wen, nodded her assent while
McGarvey replied. yes. sir. thank
you" and throwing his shoulders high
walked smiiingly from the court ROOM
She Baked at Wilmington
Roth. the second lbelant. said he
married his wife in New York In 1904
and brought her here to live. She
grew tired Of the city, however. and
when Roth returned to New York with
her he found that he was unable to OBJ
tain such employment there as would
allow him 70 properly provide for his
wife. When he told Mrs Roth he was
going, to bring her back here she re-
fused TO come and. according TO Roth
has since been separated from him.
Mrs. Roth sought a divorce from her
