at very great cost Of both time and money
But Commissioner Stevenson says that the
changes suggested to make available the use Of
two elevated tracks upon the upper deck would
be neither difficult nor expensive"
WOULD COST HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.
To this statement Professor Burr the Bridge
Commissioners own expert. in his official report
gives a fiat denial by outlining further re
moyaI of dead load than that already recon-
mended by Messrs. Boiler & Hodge which the
Commissioner Of Bridges well knows would take
hundreds of thousands Of dollars and many
months Of time to effect Even then Professor
Burr is careful state that elevated trains
could be run over the structure only after his
further reduction OF dead load with distance
between trains Of at least one thousand feet and
that trolley traffic over the four tracks on the
lower deck would have to be stl further spaced
beyond the spacing recommended in the Boiler
& Hodge report.
Still With these facts common knowledge. the
Commissioner Of Bridges holds out hope to the
people of Queens that two elevated tracks can
be made available for future the Black
wells Island bridge by the making of changes
which he saws will be neither difficult nor OK
pcnsve.

THE DEMOCRATS
MAKE AN APPEAL
The Candidates Call on the
Farmers to Contribute to
the Campaign Fund.

Falrylew, Lincoln, NeO., IL.
The first appeal for campaign
funds by the Democratic candi-
dates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency was made to-
day. In a formal message Ii
rected to the farmers Of the
= country, Messers. Bryan and
Kern urge them to contribute
according to their means and in
other ways assist in restoring
Democracy to power. The APP
peal Is as follows:
ITO the Farmers of the United
States:
"The first contribution made to
the DemocaIic campaign fund this
year so far as We know was made
by an Iowa farmer. just before
the Denver convention met, this
man, who modestly prefers not to
have his name mentioned, jour
neyed more than one hundred
miles to Lincoln with his contri-
button of one hundred dollars.
which he left with Mr.. Bryan to
be given to the committee when
organized for the campaign.
This farmer was born in
Sweden, and for some time after
lie was naturalized, was member
of the Republican party, but H.
was a student of public questions,
and in the course of time became
Democrat. To manifest his
deep interest in the success of the
party and in the triumph of the
Democratic principles. he made
this free-will offering to the cam
paign fund.
ut is very appropriate that this
first contribution should come
from that great body of our popu-
lation known as agriculturalists.
The farmer has nothing to gain
by privilege and favoritism; his
hope is in the application of
equal rights to all and special
privileges to nome He has been
the victim of all special legislation
and has suffered from the control
of politics by the great predatory
corporations. Now that the Dem
ocratic party has announced its
determination not to accept eX-l
cesslve contributions, even from
individuals, to publish all contrl-
buttons when over a reasonable |
minimum, it ought to be able no
secure a sufficient sum from the |
citizens who ask from the govern
ment nothing but protection to
their rights and consideration for
the general welfare. There are
hundreds of thousands of farmers
who are ahundantly able to con-
tribute to the campaign fund.
There are thousands who could
give 500 apiece without feeling
it; there's ten of thousands who
could give $50 apiece without sac
rifice and still more who could
give $25 or $40 or S..
"As the national committee has
not yet been organized we will
ask the Commoncr to call for sub
scriptions to this farmers fund.
Those giving may indicate wheth-
er they are willing to have their
names mentioned and if the con-
tributinn Is not more than 500
their wishes will be complied
with. All contributions above
500 must b. known no matter
from whom they come.
The farmers fund will be
tnrned over to the national COM
mittee as soon as its permanent
officers have been selected. Who
will be the first to respond? The
Denver convention was a peoples
convention; it adopted strong.
clear, honest platform. and its
nominations were made with
practical unanimity.

whole people. Oar aim is equal

Fugitives from Justice.

Deputy Marshal G. A. Felix
has been successful of late in
apprehending fugitives from
justice. But recently he arrested
John Freeman, negro wanted
in Bienville parish for shooting
another negro. He was turned
over to the authorities of that
parish. Thursday night of last
week, the same officer arrested a
negro named Oden Dla, wanted
in Natchitoches for disturbing a
place of public worship and
shooting with intent to kill.
