The Modern Jug-ernaut.

In these days a city newspaper that
does not carry at least n story about
an automobile accident is a rarity. al
most every day in the large cities
there is material for a news story In
volving the killing OF manning Of
somebody. frequently several persons
due TO reckless automobiling. In ar
cient days there used to be chario:s
with outrigger swords to u down
swaths of people. The modern jugger-
naut. the automobile. carries no such
weapons. but nevertheless the list Of
killed and injured which must be
chronicled to its discredit is q great
and CHASTITY one-and growing day by
day.
In some communities laws have been
passed that prohibit irresponsible boys
from running automobiles. But there
are many irresponsible men at the
wheel. and it is high time that some
action be taken to weed out the IRE,
sponsiblcs. To drive a locomotive on
steel rails a man must go through G V
eral years Of training: he must pos,
sess a level head. a high degree Of in.
telligence. and he must be strict!
sober. An automobile is a locomotive
running loose on the roads. with no
rails to guide it's course. 1t possesses
the speed of a railroad train when the
chauffeur chooses to ''let her out" IT
runs upon the public highways and
thoroughfares.
Does it not seem somewhat remark
able that any mar or woman. after a
few instruction trips. is permitted to
run this trackless locomotive at will. in
and out among the city crowds.
through the traffic Of country roads:
Perhaps some day this matter may be
remedicd. but in the meantime the
juggernaut JOY r:f"s without restraint
seeking whom II may cut down.

Trial of the Cases Promised by the
Attorneys for the Government.
Chicago, Sept. 1.-two more meat
packers are, it is said, to be indicted
by the federal grand jury which
charged ten Chicago packers with con-
spiracy and illegal monopoly and the
government announced it's intention to
ecure early trials of all.
The additional indictments, it is in
timated, may not come until the ten
men already named have given bond.
Each must provide $4,000 personal
bond on each of the three indictments
returned. Judge K. NJ. Lands, who
started the present investigation into
the packing industry, refuses to admit
surety companies into his court as
bondsmen.

He asked that warrants be issued
forthwith for the detention of the

told the court, land the others have
their big business affairs to attend to.
Though they are ready to appear if
they must, we would like permission
to enter bonds for them with the clerk

their appearance before you"

made at least $4,000 on each of the
three indictments and to this the pack
ers' representatives assented.
Nothing was said in court as to
when the defendants should appear to
stand trial. United States District At.
torney Edwin w. Sims, however, said
an effort would be made to push it
ahead, and Attorney Levy Mayer,
speaking for the packers, said no de-
lay would be sought by the defense.

SHALL BRIDGE
 BE REPLACED?
Committee Will Not Decide on New Structure in East Wa h. ington Avenue Until Engineer Reports

Before deciding whether or not it will recommend the erection of new bridge over the Pequonnock river at East Washington avenue the alder manic committee on the matter will ascertain the exact condition of the present bridge. and the cost of re- pairing the same. If the inspection shows that the life of repaired bridge will be very short the commit tee will then probably recommend the construction of a new one.
 City Engineer M. F. McKenna met With the committee and showed them plans of the present old bridge at East Washington avenue. It was quite evident to the committee, after pill ng, supporting the west abutement, was driven, that it would be impos- sible for the government to dredge the channel to depth of Is feet without causing the abutments of the old bridge to give way. The bottom of an IS fit. channel would be 1-2 feet below the base of. the piling.
 The committee decided that to get deep water north of the bridge and maintain the present bridge it would be necessary to build caiSsons on both banks of the river to build stone SQlICiSAt lO SuppOI llIlS lilC bridge.
 It was also quite evident to the committee that the steel work of the bridge will have to be rebuilt and reinforced if it is to continue to be used.
 The East Washington avenue bridge was built in 1893 at a cost of $55,000. It is Aft. wide, inclusive of sidewalks and Tdriveways. It was in- tended to accommodate horse cars weighing less than F tons. instead of loaded trolieys cars with a maximum weight of so tons.
 , If new bridge is built the War Department will probably insist that the 55 it. draw span be increased to 70 feet and that the swinging draw be replaced with a roller lift draw.
 The committee adjourned until next Tuesday night when the city engineer will make a report on. the condition of the bridge.
 Former City Engineer H. G. scho- field. who built the bridge. will be invited to attend the meeting. sThe committee is composed of Aldermen Hugh J. Lavery, James J. Conlin, Robert G. DeForest. Guy C. Miller and Malcolm MacFayden.
