KEEP BRIDGES CLOSED
during RUSH HOURS
New Regulations Aid to- Traffic
Over Highway and Railroad
Bridges.

Commuters and other residents in.
nearby Virginia may be gratified at the
action just taken by the War Depart
ment in their interest. On the recon-
nendation of Gen. kingman, chief of en-
gineers. the acting Secretary Of War to-
day approved amended regulations gov
erning the opening of the draws of the
Highway bridge and the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad bridge over the Potomac river
at Potomac Park The principal change
IN the regulations is that they establish
a closed period in the case of both bridges
between $50 and $50 o'clock am. daily
except to vessels employed or controlled
by the governments of the United States
and the District of Columbia.
1t had been suggested that the draws
be closed from to $50 o'clock am.
ana from to o'clock pm. da.Iy be-
cause of reported frequent DELAYS to
iand traffc during those hours. Naviga-
ton interests, however, made a stout
protest against such closed period. Mai.
Charles W. kutZ, the engineer officer in
charge OF the Improvement of the Poto-
mac. held public hearing of persons
interested in the proposition and made
thorough independent invest. CATION 1t
was found that the average daily DELAY
OF passenger train across the railroad
bridge by opening the draws during the
hours suggested, was 80 minutes. and
the average daily delay to trolley trains
on the Highway bridge was six minutes.
Relief for Traffic.
Cen kingman, in summarizing the sit
uation In a report to the War Depart
ment, said. in part: After dlie consid-
GRAFTON of the evidence adduced mt the
public hearing and the papers in the case
it is thought that the closed periods adj
vocated by those interested in land traf-
tic would result in detriment to river traf-
fic out of all proportion to the benefit to
be derived by traffic over the bridges.
On the other hand, closed period Of not
longer than thirty minutes during the
morning rush hour appears to be neces-
sary to AFFORD some measure of relief to
traffic over the bridges. particularly the
II ghway bridge and will not, in the opin-
ion of this office. impose an unreasonable
hardship on water-borne traffic"
Chief Clerk Scofield has informed the
counsel of some of the navigation inter-
ests that no change has been made in
the existing regulations so far as they
relate to the hngeing of vertical pro-
jections on tugboats.

CASE OVER WOLF SCALP

While hunting in Excelsior George
Curtis of Reedsburg started woll
and merry time followed. When
the dogs overlook the animal the old
est dog was defeated in the battle and
the wolf pursued its course. While
hurrying along highway, the wolf
running for dear life and the dogs
yelping after, they passed q farm
house and tie occupant of the place
telephoned to his neighbor that the
procession was coming, telling his
neighbor to get his gun and shoot the
creature. lie did not have gun but
planted himself in the middle of the
road to await developments. When
the wolf saw the man 1t ran ader a
small building and was later killed by
the folks who gathered about. Then
came the real struggle. Mr.. Curtis
came along and claimed the wolf He
said be had wounded the animal
with gun and under the law claimed
the carcass.
The others objected out he walked
away with the trophy nevertheless.
He appeared in Barab0o with the
dead animal and desired to obtain
the bounty of ten dollars from county
clerk Wood but not having certiff-
cate from the charm an of the town of
Delton, in which town the wolf was
killed, the bounty was not paid. The
bounty on q wolf is ten dollars by the
town, ten by the county and ten by
the state. He chased the animal about
Is miles.
Another account says that Frank
Capener killed the wof with a pinch
bar. The writer says that the dogs
chased the wolf into the hog pen and
when Mr.. Capener looked over into
the per to see if the wolf was there
the animal jumped at Mr.. Cspener's
face. It was a narrow escape from
being bitten and soon after the wolf
was killed with the piece of iron.

Swanson Of Madison and others served
upon the commission a dem and that
its engineers proceed at once TO carry
out the provisions of the law passed
by the late Legislature providing state
aid for the building of bridge across
the Wisconsin river at Merrimack.
The commission denied the request
and instructed its engineers to take nc
action in the matter.
The law provided that the state
should aid in the construction of the
bridge to the amout If $4,000 when
tt e village of Merrimack and the sd.
joining towns should contribute $40,
600, or enough more TO build the
bid ge, the work to be done under the
direc ion of the high way commission.
Attorney General o ven has held The
law invalid, in that it Is not general
act, but, rather, local. The demand by
the attorneys and the refusal by the
commission will give the case status
that will permit the taking of Ii into
the courts.
