MORE TALK ABOUT
SUBWAY DANGERS
No Action Yet, Though May
Or's Engineers Urge New
Supporting Pillars.
p. $. BOARD REPORT SOON

Engineers who have been studying the
snoring along the new subway route
conferred with Mayor Mitchell yesterday
and as a safeguard against further cave
ms suggested that the Public Service
Commission order the contractors to con-
struct supporting pillars or towers at
five danger points. Until then the sus-
pension of traffic at these points will re-
main In force.
\ report that there was another SUBJ
way collapse at broadway and Twenty
third street yesterday afternoon gathered
quick momentum. \ Public Service en-
gineer found "A loose plank in the road
way and ordered the contractors to re-
place Ii. While this was being lone n
policeman came along and wanted to
know all about II. While he was finding
out a crowd gathered. Then the rumor
took wings.
Robert Ridgway. in charge of the sub
way construction for the Public Service
Commission, accompanied Henry II.
Quimby. chief engineer of the subway
construction i'm Philadelphia, and Ed
n,und =. Davis. chief engineer of the
Boston subways. retained by the COM
mission to study the snoring used by the
contractors. through three excavations
yesterday. The engineers will report to-
morrow. when the commission will meet.
The Mayor said yesterday that be-
tween Twenty-sixth and ~Thirty-hrst
streets and Thirt Fourth and Thirty
eighth streets. on Broadway. the engi-
neers had recommended the placing OF
towers at each street crossing and I'm the
middle OF each block. these to be reen-
forced by cross braces. This work. the
Mayor thought. would take two or three
days. The Mayor was sure the Public
Service Commissioners would adopt this
plan.
Generally said the Mayor, the en-
gineers have covered all the subway con-
struction work in all the boroughs. They
found conditions generally safe. In no
case, either in lower Manhattan or in
The Bronx, did the engineers recommend
suspension OF traffic. The engineers do
make specific recommendations for addi-
tional precautions at Whitehall street in
front OF the Custom House ard at Eigh-
teenth street and seventh avenue.
II want to emphasize the point that in
such enormous work as the building of
the subways posts which may not he safe
to-day may be safe tomorrow and vice
versa"

The HHnstrOm Case.

In the HlllStrom case We see racial
feeling excited and active. Since the
supreme Court of Utah affirmed the

received 40 less than 1862 letters
threatening him with death If the
Swedish subject pays the penalty of
his crime. As these letters have come
from every State in the Union the
presumption Is thai most of them
were written by fellow cOuntrymen of
the condemned man, and in the end
the Swedish Minister was persuaded
10 use his influence 10 obtain for him
a reprieye.
There seems to have been no Oc-
caslon for the Swedish Minister to be-
