Latest Roadway Across East River To Be Completed Next Week-lntereSting Data on Brooklyn Bridge

NEW YORK. March 26.-@Queens- bridge constitutes the ma n eopic uf conversation in Long Island City just now, and it's opening to traffic next week is looked upon as the approach ing signal for a great boom in the little city across the East river. The bridge will be the third connecting Maphattan W th Long Island and a fourth structure-the Manhattan bridge-is nov well under way.
 It Is now twenty-five years since Rrooklyn bridge was completed and pfesented to the world as one of its wonders. It occupied thirteen years to complete it. During the first year of its use it was estimated that 10000 persons crossed it daily. In 1898, the year of the consolidation of Brooklyn and New York. this number had grown tO 100000 and the figure has nee been increased to about 800 600 q day.
 The threatened exodus to Brooklyn and the suburbs of Queens county was observed a decade ago, and after the consolidation municipal attention was insistently urged to a recogni- tion of this anticipated distribution Of population and the growing neces- s'ty for providing additional bridges across the East river, with the result that the Williamsburg bridge was opened several years ago. Although it's capacity is 90.000 persons an hour, t has not stopped the increase of traftic over the Brooklyn bridge.
 Between the Williamsburg and Brooklyn bridges the Manhattan bridge was started in 1901, With it's phenomenal capac 'ty Of S2,000 persons an hour and 650,000 day, this bridge is planned to be the largest of them all.
 With 7424 feet to it's credit, the new Greensboro bridge is the Iarc- est of the bridges now erected in point of length from end to end. Its longest span is that over the river weA of BlackweIl's Island. The iength Of this span Is 1fS2 feet.
 The bridge was planned for the ac- commodafion Of heavy traffic. and al though estimated to cost SI3.OOO. .OOO. t has already exceeded that figure by a large amount. AllbOugh it's daily carryiue capacity has been stat cd tO be 5GO,0O0 persoDs. it is more probable that 600.O0O persons win be able to use if each day.
 The westerly approach to the bridge IS at Second avenue. Mauhat- tan. and occurias the blocks between Fiftv-n nth and Sixiieib streets tO the Fast river. It's easterfv approach faces Q splendid plaza in Long Island Cifv.

CASTRO DENIES 1T.
Says He Did Not Seek Death Of Gomez
TRUTH Must Prevail.

Dresden, Feb 2S.-Cipriano Castro, at
one time President of Venezuela. has an-
thorized the publication of a declaration
of his innocence of the charge that he
had conspired to bring about the ASA j.
ent President Of the republic. Senior Cas-
tro says in a written statement:
1.-The only charge that has been raised
against me is that 1 tried to instigate the
murder of Gomez. 1t is incredible that.
after having shown my interest in him
in SO many ways, I should try to cause
him to be murdered. If Gomez had given
me occasion to suspect him I would have
given orders regarding him before my de-
parture from Venezuela, and l would NOT
have been so stupid as to send such an
order by cable.
Il arrived in Berlin on Dec. IA, and
when later heard of the occurrences in
Venezuela through the press and cipher
dispatches from the then foreign minis
ter Of Venezuela, Jose de Jesus Paul. !
answered Senior Paul in cipher, through
the Venezuelan legation in Berlin, trans
hitting to him orders regarding the sit
uation with Holland. The originals of
these messages must be In the central
telegraph Office in Berlin and copies in
the foreign Office in Caracas, where they
were received.
II declare once for all that I sent nc
other dispatches in cipher. Whoever
knows me knows also that am incapable
of such disgraceful cowardice.
Il give this declaration in the, interest
of truth to the press and to foreign conn
tries in order to set at. rest in, places
where I am not known all doubts and sus,
picions regarding my behavior. This
do also in the knowledge that the shame
less individual who instigated this con-
spiracy against me will have to proceed
to the utmost extremes in order 70 justify
himself, for he is aware that as soon as
the matter is understood the Venezuelan
people willinot tolerate such perfidy.
know that Sooner or later the truth mus
shine worth. and that God will do me JUS
tice. I seek nothing further,

sented a threatening appearance, the
dense, smoke pouring out from all

~ on the scene and. soon had the fire
under control. The lower floor was &C.
cupied by w. D. Whitehouse, where
for two years he has been running a

bic material, spread very rapidly. The
firemen worked heroicly, soon having
several streams playing upon the
burning building, at the same time
rushing the Hundred goods out and

ing them into an unoccupied building

but it is thought not beyond recov-

is an insurance.
Before the smoke had fully cleared
away, nothing daunted, Mr. White
house had rented the room at 142 Wa

getting the damaged goods, together
and sending them to an out-of-town
laundry through which he will work

will take the oath of Office as President
OF tina United States on the century-o
Bible which belongs to the supreme
court. Of. the United States and by II
is kept in sacred custody. There | a
touch Of sentiment in this decision
which Mr.. Taft announced tonight
with the statement that had he be-
come a member Of the supreme court
his oath would have been taken on the
same book.
1t has been the custom of past Pres
idents to use new or an historic BIZ
BILE in taking their oath OF. Office, and
each has retained the book thereafter.
Mr.. Taft, will make no claim on the
Bible of choice and It will go back to
the archives Of the court, for which
there are many evidences of a reverend
respect and q lingering fondness by
Mr.. Roosevelt's successor.
Precedent in another old inaugural
detail is to be broken next Thursday
in TIE Intention of President Roosevelt
at the Capitol direct to his train for
Oyster Bay, and not to return to the
White House in the carriage with Mr..
Taft. In this event there will be va
cant seat in the Presidential carriage
on its return to the White House, and
it is now proposed to have this seat
occupied by Mrs. Taft.
From the morning church services at
the Unitarian church Of which he is
a member, Mr.. Taft went today to the
White House, where an hour was spent
with President Roosevelt In going over
that portion of Mr.. Taft's inaugural
which discusses what is to be
his policy respecting the foreign rela-
tions of the country. Mr. Taft said
that no material changes, if any, would
be made in the address as the result of
the conference. He added that he pre-
viously went over the whole document
with Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taft were luncheon
guests of Senator and Mrs. Hale and
from until $50 this afternoon an in
formal reception was given Mrs. Taft
by Miss Boardman. Many persons CALI
ed and, as the President-elect was also
present, the affair took on pretentious
proportions.
Senator kittredge had a long inter-
view with Mr.. Taft during the after
noon respecting the Mann bill, pro-
viding for d government for the Pan
anna canal zone, which is pending in
the Senate This measure is intended
to give legislative authority for practi-
cally the present system of govern
ment there, which was established by
executive rather than legislative au-
thority. The measure makes a few
changes in the system, but it is APP
proved in its entirety by Mr.. Taft, who
is anxious that it should become law.
The proposed mail subsidy for steam
ships was talked of between Mr.. Taft
and Reps. Overstreet and Lands of In
diana. These subsidies are approved by
Mr.. Taft.
Mr. Taft said tonight that he had yet
given no thought to possible changes
in the diplomatic service of the United
States.
Tomorrow night the President-elect
and Mrs. Taft will be guests of honor
at a dinner to be given them by the
famous Taft Philippine party.
