BIG BRIDGE BOLTS
 ARE SHEARED OFF

Poughkeepsie,July 20.-A week point was found yesterday in the great bridge over the Hudson River at this city Julius F. Tronser, foreman of a gang of iron workers, which has been working on the structure, announced that he had found the security of a stretch of iron work Ill feet long threatened by the loss of bolts, which had been rusted and sheared off. Plates binding a truss and the main structure, which were originally held by twenty-four bolts, had only four bolts left.
 Repairs were made right away, and rigid inspection was made to ascer- tain if other parts of the structure were similarly weakened.
 The New Haven railroad recently has practically rebuilt the big bridge. A new set of towers, girders and trusses was added at a cost of several hun dred thousand dollars. The bridge is 200 feet above tide water, and an inn mense amount of heavy freight passes ove1 it daily as well as many passen- ger trSinS.

Both were astounded when told that they would not be allowed to land. It is said that when they learned that they were to be sent back they want ed to be married and be permitted to land, but there is no record of this.
 Mrs. Richert told the board that she traveled under the name of Levy for convenience simply, and not because she sought to avoid recognition.
 The artist indignantly denied that he had not paid his own travelling ex- penses He testified that while he had arrived here with only s20 in cash, he had jewelry valued at s2,00O, which was an evidence that he had means.
 Before the pair sailed away, it is said, they expressed their intention of conforming to the Governments views of marriage as soon as they should land in Europe. There, they said, they would return as man and wife to con- tinue their interrupted journey.

STOP GAMBLING
 AT NARRAGANSETT

Narragansett Pier, R. T., July 2o.- That gambling at this place has re- ceived its final blow was the belief last night not only of the reform forces but also. apparently, of the gaming interests result of meet ing of the Town Council yesterday. A representative of the largest gambling place at the Pier made the announce ment that all the big establishments similar to his would close their doors within forty-eight hours and would keep them closed as an outcome of the pressure of puhiic opinion exerted up- on the Town Council.
 The victory for the reform force came about after prominent members of the cottage colony, men and women. were before the Town Council and ask ed that gambling places be closed and the laws enforced. They demanded that special constabies be appointed to do the work instead of the police. The Naragansett Business Association also sent demand to the Council to know whether it was going to enforce the laws, and gave the members twenty four hours to reply. The reply will be given to the association to-day by President Harry Kane.
 The cottagers who spoke before the Council were headed by WiI':em H.

 MARRIAGE VIEWS

WELL-TO-DO WIDOW OF MEXICO
 AND NEW YORK ARTIST NOT
 PERMITTED BY GOVERNMENT
 TO LAND IN NEW YORK
 New York, July 2o.-On the American liner New York, speeding toward Cher bourg, are Mrs. Frances Richert, a well-to-do widow of Mexico City, and Jose Gomez, an artist. who were de ported from this port because their views on the subject of marriage are not such as are accepted by this Gov ernment-
 The pair arrived here two weeks ago on the New York. Mrs. Richert, who travelled under the name of Levy. and Gomez were on their way to Mexico after a. visit to BuenoS AyreS, where the artist went to fill a contract. They sailed from here on March 16, going to Cherbourg, and from there trans shipping to Argentina When Gomez companion came back over the same route.
 The immigration officials who board ed the vessel at Quarantine were told ately, were very friendly, and they were questioned.
 Mrs. Richert, who speaks English perfectly, made no secret of her af- lection for the artist. She said she is his cousin and that they had trav- eled around the world together in the past four years. They were sent to Ellis Island, where before a board of special inquiry they told their story.
 Mrs. Richert is about 24 years old and is tall and good looking.
 'sNo, we are not married.'' she told the board of inquiry. My cousin and I love one another, but we do not feel that we wish to be married at pres ent Why should we? Life is pleas ant, and in time we will become man and wife. I have money which en- ables me to live as I wish, and Jose has his profession, which brings him a good income.'
 When the artist was questioned he told much the same story. Their views were not upheld by the board of special inquiry, and so they were ordered deported.
