FLATbUSH AVENUE
EXTENSION TO Be
PAVED At ONCE
Plan Adopted Which Will Not
Interfere With Future Sub
way Building.

The Flatbush avenue extension to the
Manhattan bridge is to be paved with
granite, regardless Of the prospects for
future subway. To-day the Board
OF Estimate accepted plan for paving
advanced by Engineer Nelson p. Lewis.
Strips 80 feet wide viii be laid in
granite on each side OF the avenue.
leaving strip sixty feet wide in the
centre which will be laid IN broken
stone. This strip will be used for
vehicle traffic. the granite sides being
used by the trolley cars which will
cross the bridge.
1t is argued that this plan will permit
subway construction without lnterfciflg
with surface traffic and will permit the
operation OF trolley cars in advance Of
subway building.
Mayor Mcclellan wants TO open the
Manhattan bridge officially before he
rettres from the Mayoralty, Jan. |
next He is expedi,ing work on the
structure and the acceptance Of to- days
plan Will prevent a hold-up OF the big
job because of the Inability OF the city
to at once begin subway building.

had lived with his sister az No. q Bar

When Magistrate Steinert instructed
Brazier to pay his wife IS weekly and
told him he would parole him, Mrs Bra

DEMOCRATS TO MAKE
A STATE

lost ground, the Democratic State Committee has provided
for a special State campaign committee, to act in conjunction
with the various county committees in the fall campaign, so as to
unity party effort in the State. The principal objective will be the
election of a Democratic Legislature for 1910, or at least a Demo
cratic House of Assembly. Eight counties will elect senator's
The holdovers are ten Republican, and three Democrats. If. the
Democrats can elect all of the eight senator's they will control the
Senate. The Republicans will have to. elect only one senator out
of the eight to retain control. In the House of Assembly the stu
alton is different. There are no holdovers from year to wear. The
control of the Assembly will probably turn upon the majority in
Essex, and, therefore, the strongest efforts will be put out in this
county ON the Assembly ticket.

THE MEN WHO
CONQUER THE AIR

a performance as that of crossing the British channel amid the
plaudits of thousands could not appeal to their Imagination. 1t
is different with the emotional Frenchman, in whom the Gascon
is always in evidence. The Wright brothers are devoted to an
ideal; they have a mission to fulfill, a destiny to accomplish. To
that they give all their thought and imagination and all their de.
yotion, and to that they dedicate their lives. In France and
among the vivacions and demonstrative French people this pair
of American brothers were as impressive as Indians, and excited
wonder, and not a little awe. Both in France and at Fort Myer
they made their demonstrations only when they got good and
ready, and without the least concern about the public. They
were not there for entertainment of the multitude. These are the
men to conquer the problems of the air, not those who make SEN
sahonal experiments that have no practical results and that really
demonstrate nothing not already accomplished.

House and Senate for their action. Nearly FIVE months have
elapsed since the special session was begun. The House passed the
Payne bill and the Senate passed the Aldrich bill. and the two
bills radically differed in their rates. President Taft. it appears,
had a bill of his own in reserve, and the bill now reported by the
tconferees is in some important respects the Presidents bill. He
dictated certain schedules and forced them upon the Republican
conferees. OF the three bills prepared the nearest to public in
terests and desires is the Taft conference bill. and this one is far
from being satisfactory. The lumber, the coal, the iron and steel,
the print paper and other trusts Ire left almost unscathed. Hides

and would have been if a sane President had not used the argu.

their duty, but when they fail to pay
