J. Burns National Detective Agency, when asked tonight how he unearthed the mystery of the notorious dynamit- CTS, said in part:
 'You ask me to tell the secrets of the methods by which I and my men solved the mystery of this succession of astouding crimes after the Pink erton agency had worked on it for months without glimmer of success? We'll, I can only say that the solu- tion of the mystery was due in part to an intuition.
 When I found, after working a long time on the Peoria, Los Angeles and Milwaukee and American Bridge Company dynamiting cases, it came to me suddenly that all of these crimes were part of a labor union war against certain firms in the structur- al iron business. The establishing of the surprising coincidences in the kind of nitro glycerine and dynamite used, the similarity of the clocks, copper wire and other ,appartus furn- ished other strong clues. Then scores of my men shadowed the labor union suspects day and night for months in success never losing them never tiring, never losing hope, al lowing they. it is true, to go their way even when they saw them with bags and packages of dynamite in their possession, because they waited to get still more damaging evidence
 "The public can form no idea of the immense amount of evidence gathered against these men by my agents, who slept for scores of days and nights at the same hotels, with them, followed them from place to place, relieving one another, of course, so as not to be recognized. examining the hotel registers, visiting dynamite and nitro glycerine plants, clockmakers and wire factories, attending meetings o1 labor unions, keeping watch on sup posedly doomed plants, factories and mills, getting specimens of hand writ. ing and conferring with the police and with threatened manufacturers in many cities.
 Success was won by working and waiting. When we were convinced that we ha dnot only the guilty men but the right kind of proof, and that there was no chance for them to es- cape, we made our coup.a

FREE BRIDGE TO COST ONLY S75,000 Commissioners Assure Gov ernor of This and He
 Signs Measure
OPPOSITION TO IT
Taxpayers Protective Association Urged Governor to Veto the Bill
 Commissioners Sign Agreement

Because of the vigorous protests of the members ofs the Taxpayers Pro- tective Association and others, who oppose the free bridge which is plan ned across the Arkansas river at or near Pine Bluff and becauses of the claims of the bridge opponents that the bond issue, under the Free Bridge Bill was unlimited, Governor George w. Donaghey yesterday declined to sign the measure until the commits sioners signed a statement in his presence assuring him that the bond issue would not be over $100,00O.
 The commissioners were only too glad to comply with the governors request and especially when it gave them an opportunity to convince the skeptical ones of the fact that it would not require as much as $1O0,- .0QQ to build the. proposed highway bridge They signed statement guaranteeing that the bridge would not cost more than $750,000. As soon as this assurance was given the gov ernor he signed the measure and it became a law.
 For some days committees from the Taxpayers League have been calling on Governor Donaghey and have been urging him to veto the Free Bridge Bill on the ground that the bond is- sue was unlimited and that, in their opinion, they believed that the prop erty owners would be burdened with unlimited taxation; and they went so far 'as to say that 1t would probably reach $5,000,o0o as near as they could estimate the bond issue. This argu- ment was set aside yesterday when several of the commissioners, named in the bill, and other advocates of the Free Bridge appeared in the gover- nof's office and presented their side of the argument.
 Among those who visited the gover- nor yesterday were Judge James Gould. F. c. Smart, w. D. Hearn and E. B. Bloom, four of the seven bridge commissioners; J. B. Boyce, J. T. Lloyd and B. A. Howell. Bach of the commissioners present, majority of the board, signed the agreement for the governor and F. lB Tomlinson's s name was also authorized to the agreement. The other commission CTS, S. C. Alexander and P. P. Byrd, will also sdgn 1t.
 The Bridge bill, introduced and passed through the efforts of Senator H. K. Toney, the author, and the three representatives in the lower House of the General Assembly from Jefferson county, is "a referendum measure. The bridge will be built and the district created embracing ali of Jefferson

 New York, April A.-E. H. Gary, who has been head of the steel Trust since it's organization, will retire in the near future from that position, according to a report current today in banking circles. He will be suC- ceeded by a practical steel maker, gH. J, 'Buffingtons president of the Illi- nois Steer Company, is mentioned n his successor, but it is 1hTderStoo1 that H. c. Prick will name the nSllg chairman. a Ss@ :
 It was Judge Gary who or1ginated the idea of maintaing prices, even though this policy then enabled inde- pendents to get more than naturally belonged to them
 The effect of this policy of benevo- lent competition has been to cause the independents to make great exten- sions which the Trust has been com- pelled to equal.
 Because of these extensions all of the steel companies of the country have a capacity in excess of the nor nal demands of the country and are now running only about seven pen, cent of that capacity. l
 Judge Gary committed to con1 tinuation of the policy of maintaining prices and it is understood tint he Will retire rnther than aband6iit It is understood also that .k4P Morgan sympathizes with Gary h thfs matter. but recognizes the business neces- sities of the situation.
