Time Is Early Next Week and Information Is Posi- lively Positive Open ing Seven Months Over due.

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick,'' but they are optimistic on the East Side, and hence will receive with pleasure the further announcement of the Congress Street Bridge Commis- sion that the Congress street bridge will be open for foot passengers early next week and this is said to be pos- tive.
 Its use for all traffic will be delayed until Congress street on the west ap- proach is paved. And this work is said to be waiting for the determina- ton of the council relative to widen ing the street.
 The bridge is already some seven months behind the time named in the contract for it's construction. It should have been completed last Mo- vember.
 Some recent delays in the way of opening the bridge to foot traffic have had to do with the adjustment of weights which balance the lifts. The other day a cable burned out under water and yet more delay followed.
 The difficulties in adjusting the weights are said not to have been ex- ceptional. however, although the bridge Is built so that it's halves do not stand in the relation of straight line to each other. but on skew"

YOUNG MARRIED MAN TO DIE IN ELECTRIC CHAIR Frank Shermerhorn Found Guilty of Murdering Former Meriden
 Nurse, Sarah Brymar Startling Episode Towards End of Trial Finding of Poison in Satchel of Prisoners Wife
 Who Paints in Court

Poughkeepsie, N. r., June a. Frank Shermerhorn was found guilty of mur- der in the first degree shortly after midnight this morning. Schermerhorn on the early morning of January 13 last assaulted and murdered Sarah Brymar, a governess at the summer home of MT. and Mrs. Barnes Comp ton, at Millbrook and graduate nurse at the Meriden, Conn, hospital.
 Schermerhorn was immediately sen fenced to be electrocuted at Sing Sing the week of August Sth. He will be 23 years old tomorrow.
 The woman was criminally assault ed and strangled to death
 Toward the close of the trial while Supreme Court Justice Morschauser was charging the jury, Mrs. Schermer- horn, the young and pretty wife of the accused, tainted. Under Sheriff Fred Hornbeck had suspected that she had husband to kill himself with in case the jury found him guilty. While Mrs. Schermerhorn was being revived he had her handbag passed to him and found in it a bottle filled with laudanum, enough to kill several peo- ened and prostrated that it was not thought wise to question her. She was removed from the court room.
 The mother of the accused man said she thought Mrs. Schermerhorn in- tended to use the poison herself and not to give it to Frank. She explain ed that twice her sons wife had made allusions to some act she conten- plated if her husband was convicted She is quoted as saying:
 eff my boy (meaning her husband) has to go Pm going too and I've got something to do it with.'
 Schermerhorn's mother insisted that her son did not contemplate suicide and knew nothing about the poison iI his wife's possession. The two sal with clasped hands nearly all the af. ternoon, so that it would have beer easy for Mrs Schermerhorn to pass the poison to her husband if she had desired to do so. Sheriff Townsend took precaution in the morning to pre- vent Schermerhorn from getting poi son by having him searched each time he was returned to his cell and issu- ing orders barring all women visitors from seeing him in jail.

Washington, June 22-PostaI savings was the star number on the Senate program today and the time was oc- cupfed chiefly by friends of the Senate postal bank bill who protested against provisions of the House measure. Test votes on amendments indicated that Taft had won over members enough to ensure the adoption of the House bill. With it's acceptance practically assured, the prospects were that 5f number of Senators who were bitter ly opposed to the House bill indicated that they would vote for it rather than go on record as being opposed to tf5s postal savings bank system.
