% YEARS AGO WONDER
OF WORLD WAS FINISHED.
Interesting Story of Brooklyn Bridge
-7O,SOO,OOO People Crossed
the Spans Every Year-It's
Cost

Twenty-Five years ago Sunday
there occurred one of the wonders of
the world. 1t was the opening on
May 24th, 1888. with a great demon
stration, of the Brooklyn bridge. In
commenoration of that event, Ameri-
can flags were flung to the breeze
sunday from the top of the great
stone towers.
For few years after the opening,
wiseacres looking up from the ferry
boats held many conferences as to
how long the structure would last.
They never dreamed that the bridge
could possibly stand the strain put
upon 1t for a quarter of century. In
fact, soon after the opening, there
was much discussion over what was
termed the folly" of PERMITTING Q
heavily laden wagons on the road
way.
While the record of the number of
persons crossing the bridge is no
longer kept, the number of trollv
cars alone crossing gives a fair idea
of the traffic. Between three and
four thousand cars now cross the
bridge svery day and each car seats
sixty persons. therefore, the passen-
gers in these alone would be about
100000 per day, or over 70,SOO,0OO
a year.
In the first year that the CABLE
road operated, a total of S,52S,0O0
passengers was considered enormous.
Ten times IN twenty-five years is tn
measure of the increase.

at the foot of thu flight of
stairs at the New York tower. caused
a panic and crush which resulted
in the death of twelve persons This
is the most appalling of the accidents
IN the long life of the structure.
The total expenditures for main
tenance and operation of the bridge
up to the close of 1907 was S21.-
343,509 and the total receipts were
s21, 1,267.064.

THE MISSING MAN
TURNS UP HERE
Louis A. Mangin, Member of Noted Denver Family Who
Recently Disappeared From Denver is Not
Victim Of the Black Hand

Louis A. Mangini. a member of the
Denver fire department, who dlsap-
peared mysteriously on the Monday
preceding tbs Denver city election

number of years ago. He is quite
politician among the Italians in
Denver, for the reason that his father
was I.alian consul in that city a
number of years ago and the family
was among the most prominent in
the city.
In the office of The Sentinel yes
terday Mangini told that he had sent
word to his wife from Saliia that he
was all right, but that he had left
because Slidger. county attorney of
Denver county was going to place
him under arrest because of his ac-
tivity for Mayor Speer among the
Italian population.
When Mangini left the city so sud
denly it was thought that he had
been killed off by the BLACK Hand"
society that had it in for his father
when he was consul, because Mangini
senior had discovered the bodies of
six Italians that had been murdered
number of years ago in Denver.
The story is better told of the dis
appearance and why 1t was supposed
he had been done away with, by what
appeared in the Post at the time of
his disappearance.
The Mangini family incurred the
bitter ennfty of certain class of
Italians years ago. 1t is said when

Louis Mangini. gave information

4 GREAT CENTRAL BANK.

The keynote of the opposition to the
idea of a great central bank for the
limited States, to perform the func-
tons devolving upon the bank OF Eng
land or the bank of France, is struck
by Leslie NJ. Shaw, former secretary
of the treasury, when he declares:
THE American people do not want
a central bank, and therefore they Will
never have one. 1t is idle to discuss
the merits of proposition which the
american people do not want and to
which they will not give audience
Continuing his argument against the
principle of the central bank idea, MI
Shaw says:
Zone OF the principal objections to
the central bank scheme is that II 1t
engaged in commercial banking what
would become of the existing banks,
and. if it did not, what would 1t DO
nine months out of the year? Then
think OF the volume OF money 1t Wou!u
have 10 have, the size OF the capita
and the volume of the reserve.
The chief trouble with the estab-
fishing of currency based on munich
nal and railroad bonds is the time that
would have to be consumed in investl-
eating them before the government
could allow notes TO be issued on them.
The bank could not get the money
quick enough
Another argument against the CEN
trail bank idea, and one which would,
in the practical working OF such an
institution. be even more potent than
the reasons furnished by Mr. Shaw
is found in the generally accepted be-
lief that the institution could not hope
to gain the confidence of the great
masses of the people OF the United
States. The plan does not sound DEM
ocratic enough to suit the rank and
file. 1t has the appearance, whether
rightly so or not, Of centralizing too
much financial power in one group OF
men.
There are many prominent imam
ciers of the country, however, VINO
profess to believe that sooner or Ia
ter the country will have to adopt some
such currency plan, but even these do
not deem it practicable at the present
time.

More HinemOn Claims.

At . o'clock this morning the Ora

Southwestern telephone office ct Lit
tie Rock, where a tabulated state
ment was being kept, and it was to
the effect that there is a possibility
of j. H. Hinemon being elected Cover
nor. The report from there says that
Hinemon is running close second to
Donaghey in many counties and that
the Hinemon headquarters are crowd
ed with enthusiastic supporters who
are claiming victory.
