Board of Works Desires to-
Have Overhead Crossing ar
Pennsylvania Passenger
Depot.
REQUIRE TWO YEARS
TO COMPLETE WORK
Length of Proposed Viaduct
Would be $50 and Height
Over Tracks Would be 24l
Feet. ,

Plans for a viaduct across the Penn
sylvania railroad at Tenth and E
streets were discussed this morning
at the meeting OF the board OF public
works. The members of the board.
and City Attorney Bond believe that
some steps should be taken by this
city to eliminate grade crossings over
railroads.
Should the matter be taken up at
once. il would be almost two years be-
fore the viaduct could be constructed.
At present the city finances are not in
condition TO take such a step. The
nearest grade crossing to the Eighth
street crossing is at Twelfth street
Such a visduct would cost a big
sum, according to City Engineer
Fred Charles. who stated that IL would
be impossible to estimate the cost
until plans were made. Whether the
viaduct would be constructed entirely
of steel or of steel and concrete would
be an important figure in estimating
the cost.
Start at Elm Place.
\ The plan which members OF the
board discussed this morning was TO
condemn property on the east side of
North Tenth street from Z street to
Elm Place. Should viaduct be con-
structed. the south approach would be
at Tenth street and Elm Place. BY
this plan, Tenth street would not be
closed or partly taken up by the over
head crossing. On the north the via
duct would end at the intersection OF
North + street.
railroad tracks would be at least "a
feet. II is thought that IL feet would
be sufficiently high over the street car
tracks on North + street. From Elm
Place to the highest part of the via
duct the distance is $50 feet, and IL
is feared that the grade would be too
steep If such plans were considered.
On the north side, however. the grade
would not be steep. as the drop of
"a feet could be made in 400 feet. The
total length of the viaduct would be
$50 feet
Such a viaduct would open another
route into the central part of the city
for residents of Riverdale. At pres
ent, North Tenth street, from the
north, ends at F street, where IL joins
Fort Wayne avenue. A large num-
ber of farmers living north OF Rich
mond also would use this route. cross
ing the railroad at Eighth street. The
Eighth street, Twelfth street, Thir-
teenth street and Fifteenth street
crossings are considered very dan
gerous and are now the only means
of getting to and from the territory
north of the railroad.
Considered Heretofore.
The plan probably will be brought
up at the next meeting of the city
II has been considered sew
eral times, but each time remon-
strances We're entered. The board OF
works and city council wish 20 elm
mate all grade crossings at some time,
II possible.

LONDON, June S.-That the British
government has appealed or is about
to appeal to the United States govern
ment to instruct the American secret
service to search for DR.. A. X Graves,
the former confidential agent who was
released from a Scottish prison under
agreement to enter the British secret
police, was a sensational report cur
rent In official circles today.
DR.. Graves. who is believed to be in
New York. is responsible for the reve-
lation that the plans of two of the lat
est type of British battle cruisers, the
Ajax and the Queen Mary, which were
jealousy guarded by the admiralty,
and are in the possession of a rival
nation, presumably Germany.
There is a serious leak in the Brit
ish admiralty office, according to DR..
Graves and the British government
wants to find this mysterious agent to
learn what else he knows about the
leakage of naval secrets.
The chief cause of belief that
Graves is in New York was the ca
bled announcement from there today
that an American newspaper printed
an interview with him in which he
told of conferences he had with ex-
British War Minister Haldane and the
late Won Kidderlen-Waechter, German
foreign minister
When Mr.. Graves was released from
prison he fled from England, evident
ly fearing to do police work against
the power which had once employed
him.

ONCE MORE TREATY
CONFERENCE ENDED
Servian Delegates Withdraw
and General Balkan Con-
flict is in View.
National News Association

LONDON, June 9.-For the second
time a conference called to end the
war between the Balkan allies and
Turkey has failed. The peace con-
ference concluded today without the
ion. The draft of preliminary treaty
had been signed but the main issues
arising from the war are still in dis
pute.
The breaking up of the conference
followed the departure of the Servian
delegates, who were recalled by their
government.
The most disquieting rumors rela-
tive to the possibility of a fresh cor
fiict which will drag in Roumania were
in circulation today.
Greece and Servia are trying to
drag Roumania and Turkey into the
new Balkan imbroglio, according to a
Sofia telegram received here this af-
ternoon. This message stated that the
premiers of Greece and Servia had
made representations to the Rouma-
nian and Turkish governments to the
effect that they would secure rich ter
ritorial rewards if they would enter a
conflict against Bulgaria.
About the time this message was
received the peace ENJOYS were again
assembling at st. James palace. Que
ries to various members of the peace
delegations threw no light upon the
alleged efforts to reopen war in south
ern Europe.

Taxing Your
Income.

What would you think of an
income tax equal to the amount
of money you waste each year
by careless buying.
The sum would startle many
of us who are not considered ex-
travagant in the common accept
ance of the word. And yet we go
along the even tenor of our way,
happy that We have enough to
live on and a little to spare, per-
haps.
But, aside from extravagances
as such, are you taxing your in
come more than you should in
your everyday purchasing of the
necsssaries of life? That is the
important question.
II is so easy for us Americans
to indulge in careless buying
that it behooves all of us to pay
attention to what We buy and
where we buy it. we must make
our dollars work for us 10a per
cent. or we are taxing our in

INTO
 DEATH OF CUETO
Coroner John J. Phelan Will Investigate Its
 Cause

Did a particle of brass strike Martin Cue1o and cause him to fall, receiving injuries from which he died, or did a sudden hemorrhage of the brain cause him to fall and strike the piece of brass? This is a question which Cor oner J. J. Phelan will probably be asked to ascertain in an inquiry over the death of the man who was yes- terday taken from the Bridgeport Brass Company's factory to St. Vim cents hospital where he later died.
 Medical Examiner S. M. Garlick, af- ter conference with staff physicians of the hospital today, decided that an autopsy was unnecessary in the case, as death was plainly caused by a hernorrhage upon the opposite side from the slight puncture noticed yes terday, and not directly due to pene- tration of the metal. The brain was affected by what is known as contra coup, or lesions upon the opposite side of the brain from that upon which a blow has been struck.

SKILLED HELP
 FALLS OFF IN
 TEXTILE MILLS
Demand for It Far Ex-
 Ceeds Supply

Plafnfeld, Conn. May 24-The short age of skilled help in the textile mills of eastern Connecticut is being sorely felt by the manufacturers In this immediate vicinity, it is said the mills are short at least a thousand hands and much machinery is standing idle. Inquiries come from other places for help, ndfcatfng that the shortage is general. One of the principal reasons for conditions is that the French Ca nadians who have usually come in the fall to work through winter have stay ed on their farms. The attractions in Canada have been many and the drift of the travel has been westward. French Canadian mill hands are ra.- pidly becoming less in number as farming has been paying better. Most of this class of help have been skill ed at the spinning frame Or loom.
 The scarcity of weavers and spin ners who are highly skilled is the req son for the labor conditions in the mi1Ls. When frames and looms are idle the less skilled help which depends upon these departments is obliged to loaf The influx of labor in the tex Irish, Canadian, Swedish, Italian, Po- ian and the present recruiting is most ly Slav. It has proven difficult to train the latter classes of help into skilled operatives like the English, Irish and Canadians owing to the pri- mary drawback of lack of knowledge of the English language. Yet with less skilled help to depend upon the wage scales are higher than ever be- fore
