Saving High Bridge
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: 1t now looks though High Bridge
would have to give way to the needs of
commerce. II obstructs navigation on the
Harlem River and it is certainly great
pity that this waterway should not be used
to somewhere near it's capacity. At pres
ent navigation on it is anything but fire.
quent, and its shores for several miles above
l55th Street are mostly a succession of flats,
dump piles and rotting wharves with plenti-
ful rows Of billboards. If HIGH Bridge is
in whole or part the cause Of these unseem-
~ conditions something ought to be done
about it.
1t has been proposed to remove the bridge
entirely. But this would be greatly re-
GREETED by many New Workers, for the
bridge is not only an interesting historical
monument, but is rarely fine thing in
stone viaduct architecture Furthermore. it
would be expensive to remove it and the
bridge would then be dead loss, to say
nothing of the Inconvenience to pedestrians
who now use the bridge, of whom there are
a good many and who surely have some
rights.
By an extension on brackets three or four
feet wide, on one both sides of the bridge.
a siX-foot sidewalk and a roadway twenty
feet or more wide could be provided and a
much needed route for both wheel and foot
traffic opened across the Harlem River. On
the west the connection with the street svs-
To-. would be easy; on the east, practicable.
The Dock Commissioner has made de-
sign for replacing three Of the arches bv a
single arch, with much needed STRENGTHENING
OF the waterway. This would give complete
freedom of traffic TO the river, and if it
could be made in stone would be very i'm
pressiye thing. The original stones of the
bridge could be used to a greater or less
extent in the new work
From the artistic point of view there il
ample precedent for the alteration of a
work Of architectural art to make it con-
form to conditons
1t is probable that the cost of these i'm
provements would not greatly exceed that
of demolishing and removing the bridge. and
they would furnish connecting link be-
tween Manhattan and The Bronx where it is
badly needed. HAROLD A. CAPARN.

The Negro in the South

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: l regret exceedingly the race
troubles and various articles appearing ia
print on the subject, many of which are
unjust, to the best of my knowledge and
belief.
I have lived in the Tennessee Valley over
twenty years, and have rcen no more en-
nifty or disagreement between whites and
blacks than between whites in the North.
whore I raised. There is certainly no
envy because of negroes owning property
or its acquisition, far as know. Bar
barities have occurred, whites upon whites.
white upon negroes, negroes upon whites,
but, most of all, negroes upon other ne
groes. This last condition is probably the
white mans fault because if one of the
negroes got into serious trouble he usually
came to his employer, or "white folks" as
the case might be, for help. If the charge
was not too bad the white man was at
tached or perhaps otherwise Interested in
the negro he made his bond, took the negro
in charge until the case came to trial, en-
ployed counsel for him, and if the negro
was let off with q fine paid that, to be
worked out This state of affairs re-
suited in tho negro coming to be
lieve that he could do anything and his
boss man. "white folks" would pro
tect him from the law. Even in cases Of
murder where the negro was sentenced to
the penitentiary his protector might get
him pardoned or paroled, and he would re-
turn to the scene of his crime either to lead
new life or to commit new outrapes.
For the last year or two negro kllinrs
became so bad that good white folks have
refused him any assistance, with the result
that the first legal hanging since the war
IN one Of the counties took place where
one negro killed another under particularly
atrocious circumstances
The Jim Grow" car law, of which much
IS made in the Northern press and of
which some of the better class Of nee-roas
make we'll founded complaint, resulted from
some of the kind of negroes which the best
dislike to ride with using their right to
the same car as the whites in an obnoxious
manner, resulting in disturbances. To OBJ
viate these troubles laws were enacted re-
curing railroads to provide similar coaches
for each race. and eventually, for ~brotec
ton of we'll disposed colored people. re-
curing whites to keep out OF colored cars
In streetcars one end is for the use Of
colored passengers. They are not allowed
to mix with the whites nor the whites with
them.

The press Of Brussels recalls many

German general, Jarowsky, to whom
had been intrusted the negotiating
of the conditions of occupation. The
interview took place at the town hall
in the presence of the American and
Spanish ministers. Burgomaster
Max was very calm and this seemed

ACTOR STRIKE
 HITS CH|CAGO

CHICAGO. Aug. 12.-The actors strike which has closed several of New York's large theaters, spread to Chicago tonight. The Cort theater and Cohan's grand opera house were closed after the principals and other members of the cast announced they would not go on the stage tonight.
 The strike was called following the arrival of Francis Wilson, president of the Actors Equity association. He declared the strike would be as thor ough as in New York and prepared an appeal to all actors to join the walkout
 Although members of the Actors Equity association are appearing at at least three other theaters, the man. agement of those houses say they had not been notified of any proposed strike.
 The first announcement came from tho Cort theater after Wm. Courtenay sent a note to the effect that he would not appear tonight. The sec ond principal to refuse to appear was Grant Mitchell, who has been appear ing at Cohan's grand opera house.
