PLANS COMPLETE
FOR NEW BRIDGE
ON N. MICHIGAN ST
Span of Concrete, Reinforced
With Steel and Trimmed
With Bedford Stone Will Be
Most Beautiful in City.

Plans for the 500, 900 bridge which
will span the St. Joseph river at Leep-
er park where the present y NIichi-
gan st. steel structure now stands,
have been completed by Charles W.
Cole, city engineer of Mishawaka.
They have been filed with the county
commissioners who approved them
this week.
The structure when completed will
be one of the most artistic OF any
bridge in Indiana 1t will be a three
arch reinforced concrete structure. 1t
will be four feet higher in the center
than at the ends, this arch intended
to lend beauty to the structure. The
architecture will be simple as well as
attre tive.
The mammoth arches built of con-
crete will be reinforced with steel.
The entire exposed surface will be
faced with Bedford stone so that
none OF the rough concrete will show
A hand rail will run along both sides
of the structure made of the same
stone.
A special lighting system has been
arranged to harmOnize with the gen.
eral architecture Of the bridge. When
it is completed the architecture will
stand out from all four viewpoints
the south bank of the bridge for Riv-
erside Drive and special attention has
been given to lengthening the sharp
curve at the west side.
Work of designing the bridge was
completed last week by Engineer Cole
who has been at the task for the last
two and one-half months. The COM
miSsioners will let the contract soon.
temporary wooden bridge will be
erected across the river east of the
present steel bridge. The old bridge
may be used at some other place in
the river. although a location has not
been decided.
Only one car track will be run
across the bridge. 1t will be the
width of the street and the side
walks will be little wider than those
on the other two large city bridges.
The engineers sketch of the new
bridge is reproduced on page II of
this issue.

CHICAGO, May 5.-Detective Will
liam j. Burns bristled with inGigna-
ton and anger today. Figuratively
speaking ne pulled on mis- fighting
togs in hurry. He called the po-
lice of Atlanta "a bunch of scoun-
drels." and shook his fist as he did
so. He announced his intention OF
returning to the Georgia capital with

Reading of reports from. Atlanta

the head of the detective agency.

Raymond Burns. THE Atlanta pO-
lice know Frank is innocent of this
murder and they know that Conley

now that in spite of the outrageous
acts of the Atlanta police we will

COMPLETE ROSTER
Of BOARD WHICH
CONTROLS BANKS
Contention Expected in Senate
Over Appointment of 0Iney
Because of His Age-An-
nOGnCement Soon.

WASHINGTON, May president
Wilson has completed the roster of the
federal reserve board which will in
augurate the operation of the banking
system provided by the recently en-
acted currency law, and it will prob
ably be announced tomorrow.
The president has invited five men
representing different sections of the
country to form the board, together
with Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo and Controller Of the Currency
Williams.
The five selections are: Richard
Olney, of Boston. former secretary Of
state Harry A. Wheeler, Of Chicago,
merchant and banker; Paul NJ. War
burg. Of New York, banker; w. p. c..
Harding. of Birmingham, Ala, bank
er: Dr. A. G. Miller, of san Francisco,
authority on finance.
The salary Of the reserve board
members has been fixed by congress
at $40 a year.
Contention is Expected.
1t is evident that a deal of con-
tention will be stirred up in the senate
when the names Of the members of the
board are submitted by the president
TO that body for confirmation.
The selection of Mr.. Olney. if his
tackled on the ground that it is un-
wise 20 place a man who is seventy
ninth year at the head of the new
banking system. Although Mr.. Olney
is still active in private business, it is
argued that il would be folly to in
trust the tremendous responsibility Of
this task TO any but a young and Wig
orous man.
II will be pointed out that Mr. Olney
could not reasonably expect to remain
in office more than a few years before
being compelled to retire by advancing
age.
VIII Attack Warburg.
The appointment of Mr.. Warburg
will be attacked because Of his con-
nectiOn with Kuhn, Loeb and COM
pany and consequently his affiliatiOn
with the powers who compose the
Wall St money trust" AS fiscal
agents Of Hartman this firm has fig
ured in much high financing of rail-
road properties.
The senate will inquire particularly
into the watering of the stock of the
Chicago & Alton railroad by combi-
nation of interests which included Mr.
Schiff. The railroad never has recov-
cred from that particular piece Of
high financing.
Whether Mr.. Warburg had any con-
nectiOn with this deal will be the sub
ject of inquiry in connection with the
submission of his appointment to the
senate.
Mr.. Warburg has taken a conspicu-
Gus part in the framing of currency
legislation. He was the author of
many of the principal features of the
Aldrich central bank plan.

MUTTERS SON WHO
SHOT RICH FATHER

NEW YORK. May 5.-General Hi
ram Duryea. millionaire starch man
ufacturer and Civil war veteran. was
shot to death in his Brooklyn mansion
by his son, Chester b. Duryea- early
today. The motive for the shooting is
unknown and the patricide is believed
TO be suffering from insanity.
A peculiar feature OF the murder
lies in the fact that young Duryea was
heard by servants in the house asking
his father sOlicitously last night be-
fore retiring if there was anything he,
the son. could do for him.
After his arrest and detention in the
Fort Hamilton police station Duryea
kept muCtering to himself, Il was JUS
titled"
The crack of two revolver shots
fired in rapid succession, awakened
the hOusekeeper. Anna Lewis and two
maids, Della Hallaran and Anna Hal
laran. They hurried to the room Of
the head of the house and found Ches-
ter Duryea sitting in a chair at the
side of his fathers bed. with two re-
volvers Of heavy caliber lying at his
feet. The generals body, lying face
downward, was upon the bed.
AS the frightened women fled Dur
yea walked TO the telephone and called
up Brooklyn police headquarters
After identifying himself, he said:
There has been a serious accident
at my home"
When policemen arrived Duryea did
not deny shooting his father and made
no protest against going to Jail. All
the way he kept repeating TO the Off
GERS that he felt he had been justified
in shooting.
DR.. Gardiner Of the staff of the
Norwegian h )spital in Brooklyn, gave
* as his opinion that the slayer was
insane.

Against Granting FavOrS to

WASHINGTON, May O. Senator
William J. Stone. of Missouri, chair
man of the senate foreign relations
committee. and a member Of the plat
form committee OF the Baltimore con-
vention, today told the senate that ne
found his vote for free tolls In 1917
fully consistent with "A vote for the
repeal of free tolls at this time.
He declared that in 1912 he voted
for free tolls as a means or asserting
the right of the United States TO dis
pose OF the tolls question without ask
ing the consent of any other nation
He would vote for the repeal this year
because he was ready TO dispose or the
matter as a purely domestic issue and
on that issue he always stood against
the ship subsidy
I'VE answered the protest OF Great
Britain throught the act OF 1872 he
said. Since then that government
has taken no further action nor made
anv further protest in the premises.
So far as 1 am advised, all foreign gov
ernments have been standing aloof
with hands off since the passage of the
act of 1912. / stand by what we did
in 1912 as being within our rights.
Opposes Ship Subsidy.
"But without reference to the Opin-
ion or the contention of any other
man, ! stand ready 10 vote 10 repeal
the free tolls prOvision-in other
words. the subsidy provision of the act
of 1s12-because / am opposed TO that
provision as being an unwise and VI
lcious economic policy and because the
democratic party wisely has committed
itself against the policy of subsidizing.
Ion the merits of the pending ques-
ton, / can find no satisfactory rea-
son why the American people should
grant a subsidy Of millions TO this
special interest, the cOaStwise mer-
chant fleet. which now enjoys under
our laws an absolute monopoly of the
enormous traffic carried on along the
coasts of all the seas bordering this
continent The construction OF the
$4OO.OOO,OOO. Why should these al
ready favored ships be permitted to
utilize this waterway without contrib
uting farthing TO its maintenance or
toward the expense OF passing them
through from sea to sea?'
Taking up the Baltimore platform
declarations against ship subsidy and
in favor of free tolls in the Panama
canal. Senator Stone said: "UndOubt-
edly the platform committee and the
convention consciously and deliber-
ately intended TO assert. as they did
the party OpOsitiOn TO bOunties and
subsidies"
"All the convention meant to do by
the resolution respecting free tolls was
10 approve what congress had done.
and especially what the democratic
senators and representatives had done
in voting for the law of 1912"
