New York City Bridges.
From the Engineering Magazine.

From the Engineering Magazine.
Familiar as is the fact to engineers. yet
few of the citizens Of New York realize
that four OF the largest bridges In the
world connect Manhattan with Long Is
land and that they exert a most impor-
tant bearing on the present life and fu-
turc development of the city apart from
any consideration of the engineering ele-
ments involved in their construction and
maintenance. Today when the subaque-
Gus tunnel figures so prominently IN
schemes of urban and suburban rapid
transit where rivers or tidal water are
concerned. the efficiency of the bridge and
the traffic it can carry are matters of Pc
culiar interest 1t is only fair for the
citizens to consider the traffic that is be-
ing carried by the bridges, note its diver
sity, and then figure on the economy.
Furthermore In New York the bridge
department somewhat ANONYMOUSLY is en-
gagged in building one of the largest and
tallest Office buildings in the city to house

vide q terminal for the subway trains
crossing to Brooklyn. Here is very SIM
pie example of municipal finance. Ahe
terminal is demanded. so the ground must
be secured. Therefore it Is possible by an
outlay of $11, 100000 to build an office
building large enough to house many of
the departments for which offices are be-
ing rented in private buildings at an ex-
pense estimated at over 100000. AS the
interest on the bonds issued for the cree
ton of such a building would amount
only to about $4,000. the saving to the
city both in money and convenience is
most apparent. while the erection of a
fine monumental structure serves to
beautify the Official center Of the city.

In her petition for divorce Mrs. In

scribing them thusly:
Nicholas, before he went to work
in the morning and in the afternoon
and whenever he returned to n
house, would throw his arms about
my waist, crushing me at times until
the breath almost left my body. At
one time last winter, as he was leav-
ing home to go to Okaton, he forced
me to submit to a bear hug that re-
suited in the fracturing of two ribs,
while at another time the hugging was
so severe that circulation was stopped
and my nose bled a stream, the blood
squirting over his clothing"
Answering the petition, Ingalls, ad-
mits the hugging and kissing, but adds
that the treatment accorded his wife
was OF the most tender and affection
ate character and that the breaking
of ribs and the gushing of blood from
her nostrils was due to tight lacing, a
habit to which his wife had been ad-
dicted during the whole of the five
years of their married life.

Gals of the company seemed to be in
anything but a gloomy mood over the
Supreme court decision. Their atti-
tude showed clearly that they had ex-
pected such an opinion for some time
and were ready for 1t.
Two points are clear. First, that
there will be no contumacy by the
company-it proposes to obey the de-.
cree: and, second. that 1t will be some
time before any plans OF reorganiza-
ton are given out.
The company has insisted through
out that no plans had been formulated
in advance Of the decree, and the
statement made by Mortimer E. Ell
Hot, general solicitor for the COM
pany, takes the same attitude. He
said:
Having only before us the press
reports Of Chief Justice Whites oral
opinion and the remarks Of Justice
Harlan, and not having seen the opin'
ion of the court in full, 1t is impossible
to make IN lengthy statement. The
full opinion must be read and studied
by my associates and myself before
1t can be intelligently dealt with.
1T may, however. be said that the

decree of the court and that all the
companies embraced in the courts de-
cree will carry on their business as
usual under the direction Of their own
officers and through their W cor

HITS LABOR CHIEFS
NEW PROCEEDINGS AGAINST
GOMPERS AND OTHERS.
District Of Columbia Justice Would
Punish American Federation
Leaders for Contempt.

Washington.-On its own initiative.
the Supreme court Of the District OF
Columbia instituted proceedings for
alleged contempt, against President
Samuel Gompers, Vice-President John
Mitchell and Secretary Frank Morri-
son. all of the American Federation OF
Labor. The sentences Of imprison-
ment imposed on these men by this
court were revoked by the United
States Supreme court, and the case
was remanded to the district supreme
court.
The United States Supreme court,
in setting aside the sentences of i'm
prisonment, held that the case on
which the lower court had acted con-
stituted a civil contempt against the
Bucks Stove and Range company, and
that the offense was punishable only
by a fine to be recovered by the
wronged corporation.
Justice Lamar, in handing down the
opinion, called attention to the fac,
however, hat If the lower court felt
aggrieved 1t could have brought Grim
inal contempt proceedings in the

The lower court has been quick to
take advantage of the opportunity af-
forded to reopen the case. AS the

into court had ended it was presumed
the matter would be allowed to drop.
