BRIDGE FALLS AND
MANY ARE KILLED

COLOGNE

Noon and Nine Seriously In
jured Are Rescued
from Water
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
COLOGNE, July 9.--The new bridge
under construction over the Rhine at
Cologne fell in today and many of the
workmen engaged on the structure lost
their lives.
Up to noon fourteen bodies had been
recovered and nine men had been taken
from the water seriously injured. The
scaffolding supporting the powerful
crane used in the erection of the CEN
trail span of the bridge collapsed and
the crashing down of the span carried
down several other spans.
Several workmen were thrown into
the river.
Some of them are still underneath
the scaffolding and there is no hope
whatever for their recovery. About a
score of struggling men were quickly
picked up by boats. The police and
fire brigades secured boats and sue
ceeded in saving several workmen who
were laboriously swimming, in the
strong current, fully clothed, toward
the shore.
1t is impossible to tell at the present
time the exact number of victims.

Ludwig 0..ers Sensible View.

Little Rock, Jan. 13-Special- 1 have seen an article in news paper criticiz,ng the state gov ernment for the deficiency in the penitentiary fund, while their is ample assets to pay all indebted ness," said Hon. O. 70. Ludwig, secretary of state, this morning, and 1 desire to discuss that ar ticle very briefly. It is true that the penitentiary board owes something like S1S,000 or $20,0OO in current accounts, and that there is practically no ssmoney in the state treasury to the credit of this fund. But the state has 1000 bales of cotton ready for the market at this time and by talk ing less than it is worth, the bills outstanding can be paid, and a handsome balance left. But why sell at sacrifice. The day we put the samples of this cotton On the market we were offer. $65, ,000 for the lot. We did not take that price and the next day we were offered .$70,000 for the lot saving of $o,0O0 for the state. But we desire 15c per pound for this cotton, and well informed cotton men here state that it is far superior to the aver age cotton, not at all like the hill cotton that is being sold, and that it is worth more"
