HIS FIST RESENTS
INSULT TO WILSON
Young American in Canadian
Regiment Smites Sergeant
for yellow" Remark.

The American liner Philadelphia
brought TO port yesterday from Liver
pool as a cabin passenger young
American who said he punched Brit
ish sergeant at ShOrnclife for remark
ing that President Wilson was yellow.
The lad was William II. McComb, of
Pittsburgh, who went to Canada early
in June and enlisted with the lst Cana
dian Rifles in the hope of seeing ser
vice with the British troops in France.
On its arrival in England the Canadian
regiment, in which he said were many
Americans, was sent TO Shorncliffe
camp at Dover. His mother, learning
his whereabouts, appealed to the State
Department, and through the American
Embassy in London arranged for his
release.
Before this was obtained, however,
young McCook said he got into a con-
troversy with an English sergeant on
the position the United States had
taken in regard to Germany. The SER
geant said a few things that did not
please McComb, but he bore the re-
marks patiently until the Englishman
asserted that "Wilson and mis- acts were
yellow" whereupon McComb knocked
him down.

TIDE GENTLY SLIPS
BIG SPAN TO PLACE
Ebb and Flood in Harlem Do
Work on 81" Double
Decker Bridge.

The final span of the new elevated
railroad bridge at 10th Street and the
Harlem River was placed in position
early yes erday morning. The bridge is
double deck four-track structure.
Trains of the Second Avenue line will
use the upper deck and trains Of the
Third Avenue line the lower.
The spans from the north and south
shores to the draw have been in place
some time, being put there without a
break in traffic. But the draw span,
which weighs some 900 tons, re-
ouired between eight and ten hours to
be put i position, and during that
period traffic was suspended. Persons
using the trains received transfers and
walked across the bridge.
As usual, the tide was utilized to re-
move the old draw and place the new
one. The old span was lifted from its
bed by cribwork placed on barge,
which rose with high tide sufficiently to
lift the structure clear of its anchor
age. The new span, perched on sand
Jacks, was then floated into place and
settled as the tide ebbed.

mittee, of which former Chief Judge

these Justices should they fail TO be
renominated by the regular parties,
The work of obtaining the $500 sig.
natures necessary TO get the names OF
these justices on all the primary bal
lots was begun on Thursday, and it was
said that more than 500 signatures had
been obtained by Saturday night.

CITY HALLS AGED
YOUTH RESTORED
Replacing of Original DecOra-
tons and Architecture CON-
pleted in Mayors Office.

The work of restoring the City Hall
interior to its pristine beauty and
architecture has been completed, the
office of the Mayor being the last set
Of rooms finished. The changes in
these rooms were completed on Satur-
day, but Mayor Mitchell will not see
his renovated Office until early next
month, when he returns from the en-
campment at Plattsburg.
George McAneny, President of the
Board Of Aldermen, is responsible for
the architectural barking back to the
old days. He has been the leading ex-
ponent of the idea that the rooms in
the City Hall, as they used to be. were
more splendid than since the cry for
modernity in everything, from women's
dresses to skyscrapers, overwhelmed
the plea for civic beauty.
To-day. with the changes effected, the
City Hall is our most beautiful city
building. 1t has been called our great
est municipal monument, possibly be-
cause beneath it lie the political hopes
of .lany of the city executives who for
time fourished there.
For while Mr. McAneny's plans
w-re threatened with failure, because
the designs followed in constructing
the building could not be found. But
the New York Historical Society discov-
cred them some time ago and saved the
situation.

BEAUTIFY FLUSHING
FILM CITY PROFFER
Moving Picture Company Wants
to Give College Point Plant
Municipal Name.

A film company, owned and directed
by George W. Lederer, the theatrical
man. and John W Rapp, Of this city,
has asked the Board of Aldermen for
permission to rename ffty-acre tract
. at College Point, Long Island, New
York Film City. To induce the board
10 accede to this request, Lederer and
RapP have agreed to devote 10 per
cent of each years profits 10 beautify-
ing Flushing, which is nearby.
II is planned TO spend 100000 on
the property. A feature of the plant
will be the lack of necessity for de-
pending on the sun for picture light.
The proximity of the East River will
present marine opportunities enjoyed
by few motion picture companies near
their studios. A revolving stage will
be installed and an artificial lake con-
structed for deep sea effects. Also
there will be a menagerie for use in
the pictures. The special closeup
crane effect used TO produce some of
the most striking camera conceits in
"Cabiria" will also be in the equipment.

MUD TOO MUCH
FOR GYPSY VAN
Superdreadnought Bus
Settles Down for Night
Near BriarCliff.

With the American flag waving dis
consolately from its roof and not a
CLEAN of light to brighten its forty
four plate glass windows, Roland r.
Conklin's transcontinental automobile
GYPSY Van, planned to speed detiantly
BY all hotels, was stuck fast IN the
mud two miles from Briarclif Lodge at
10 o'clock last night. The Conkllns,
who expected to cross the continent
and return to their Long Island farm
without seeing the inside of hotel,
had retired for the night at the lodge
Latest reports from Briarcliff said
Mr. Conklin, two automobiles and sew
eral teams were working to extricate
the 'cross-country uper-dreadnought
bus from its oozy bed. The 60 horse
power gasolene engine. with its double
transmission, had failed to respond TO
anv of the nine forward speeds. fro-
vided enough horses and autos are
reouisitioned to pull the big motor
land-schooner out Mr.. Conklin will con-
tinue his way to the Panama Paclfc
Exposition this morning.
The road is not very wide two miles
north of BrarcliF. When the chauf-
feur driving the Gypsy Van turned to
one side for another machine to pas;
his troubles began. of the main hard
road he found himself and his heavy
charge on treacherous ground. Heavy
rains on Saturday night and part OF
Yesterday had made the shoulders of
the road soft. One of the vans front
wheels began to sink in mud
Before the front wheel could be res
cued from trouble its teammate, the
bock wheel. also slumped down in the
ditch. Slowly the overland bus. lin
tied. began to sink in the mire; 1t
threatened to 60 down with all on
board.
Within a short time after the S 0 S
signal was flashed to Briarcliff. by
means of the motorcycle lowered from
the roof of the van" six teams were
on the spot. The big machine would
no. bulge. Two automobile trucks
were hitched up. with additional
horses, and the tug-of-war was sill IN
progress at late hour.
