p ANS FOR BRIDGING SAN FRANCISCO
Ray CALL FOR SPENDING OF S22,000,000

The water is about sixty feet deep
along much OF the projected line;
mud and silt go down thirty feet
more, and below that are gravel and
hardpan. The maximum span at
tanned, only in two instances, would
be 900 feet, as against some 700 foot
spans in Mississippi river bridges,
and a 1900 foot span in the new
Quebec bridge.
The bridge would have two decks.
The upper would carry two truck
roadways and one for automobiles.
The lower would have tracks for
overland trains and two for inter.
urban trains. The terminal would be
at Third and Townsend streets on
the San Francisco side and First and
Adeline streets on the Oakland side
The present proposal. as to financ-
ing, is that San Francisco county and
Alameda county, across the bay, or.
ganize bridge district, finance the
bridge and collect tolls for its use
Four years would be necessary for
its construction

MARINES SHUT OUT

SECRET OF HOW A STORY or
AMERICAN REINFoRcEMENTs
REACHED OUTER WORLD

PEKlNG, July 13.-Scarlet fever
broke out among the two hundred
American marines stationed in Pc
King as guard at the American
legation. In an effort to prevent the
spread of the disease Col. Neville.
commandant of the guard, ordered
the men to move out of the barracks
and placed them under canvas, with
only two men in each tent. The
tents we're pitched on the recreation
ground adjoining the legation COM
pound and outside the compound
wall, where all Chinese could see
them plainly,
Immediately rumor was circu-
lated that the American legation had
brought extra troops from the Philip
pines to protect foreigners against
possible rioting which might result
from the unsettled political conditions
and the financial stringency brought
about by the moratorium. This rumor
grew, and added to 1t was a report
that the Japanese were also to bring
in thousands of troops from Tsingtau
and Japan for the protection OF
foreigners.
These reports became so insisteni
that the Chinese government issued
formal denial, explaining the rea
son for the tented colony outside the
American legation compound.
Only five of the American marines
have the scarlet fever. They ars
quarantined in a gun-shed on the cit,
wall adjoining the legation
