NEW YORK, Oct. 2l.-For 47 years and 6,016 feet it has stretched from Park row across the fish mar kets of lower Manhattan and the oily waters of the East River to the flats of Brooklyn.
 Harp of God" writer once called it. Its more prosaic name is Brooklyn Bridge"
 In many ways the great steel span is like a harp. Its cables sing as the fingers of the wind pluck them. They grow taut as loaded ele- yated train places a heavy foot on it's center stop. They relax under the warm sun of summer ana tighten again in winter.
 In winter it's cables contract, pull ing its center span two and half feet higher above the water in January than in July.
 It is machine, requiring con- stant oiling. A man is always on the bridge, quick to report any un- usual change in Its unordered moVe- ment.
 The bridge was opened in May,

YELLED RAP E = : l AGAINST US.
Soviet Newspapers Voice Threats of Economic
 Retaliation

MOSCOW, Oct. 21.-The news papers Isvestia and Pravda today voiced threats of economic retalia- tion by the Soviet against countries which may pass laws prohibiting the import of cheap Russian goods.
 The editorials did not mention the United States but little doubt is left that that nation is meant.
 The newspapers said the cry against Russian dumping is organ ized machination of limited capi- talism and it is known the dumping outcry is nothing but a myth. All capitalistic trusts, combines and concerns dump their goods on the world markets, then attempt to &C., cuse the Soviets of trying to ag- gravate crisis which embraces most of the countries.
 This is idiocy on the part of those making the outcry as the Soviet exports comprise only two per cent of the worlds turnover and therefore could not be of any influence

BROOKLYN BRIDGE, DEAN OF. SPANS,
 NEVER HAS MET ARMY SPECIFICATIONS

1883 as a toll bridge-10 cents for each vehicle-and so it remained until 1912. For years, until other and longer suspension bridges were built, it was the eighth wonder of the modern world. It cost $25 000,- 900.
 The annual upkeep is around $250 900. The rental for elevated trains and surface cars, and from cable companies, who string their wires across it's spans, often earns more than the upkeep cost, how ever-in 1928 there was a credit balance of $30000.
 At the center Brooklyn bridge rises 133 feet above mean high water in the summer and two feet and a half more in the winter.
 The bridge has never met army specifications as to it's height above the water. It was supposed to be 135 feet, but the cables slipped in the saddles on the towers while it was under construction and let it down two feet. It couldn't. of course, be torn down and built over. so the specifications were changed.

Cause of Disaster Is Not Known-Rescue Work

ALSDORF, Germany, Oct. 21.-Thirty miners have been killed, forty are injured and about 100 are unaccounted for underground as the re- suit of dynamite explosion in the shaft of the Anna Mine.
 Victims are burie d in wreckage on two levels, at 1900 and 1500 feet.
 Previous reports said more than POO were killed but it has been revealed that many workmen made their escape by another shaft, failed to punch the time clocks and left for their homes.
 The dynamite exploded 700 feet underground. The cause is not known.
 None officials said rescue work is slow b ecause the main entrance is made im- passible and the victims must be carried out by another shaft.
 Late this afternoon the bodies of 30 miners were recovered. Four of those injured died The death toll is estimated at various figures but nothing definite will be konwn un- til all wreckage is cleared away and check is made as to the num- Der of men in the mine at the time of the explosion and those who went home without tim ing in.'

NEW YORK CITY, N. Y.,
 Oct. 21.-While their effect on
 business generally still is un-
 certain, political upheavals in
 Latin American this year all
 ready have boomed the demand
 for Sam Browne belts.
 The shiny leather accoutremeni of army officers who have over thrown old governments and estab- lished new ones has become a mantle of power from shores of the Caribbean to the tip of Cape Horn
 Starting in one of the smallest countries-the Dominican republic revolutionary sparks have scat tered until Brazil, the largest na- ton in South America, now is afire with civil war.
 Four executives were unseated one revolt failed and one was set tied in six outbreaks preceding the Brazilian strife.
 Youngest President
 The Dominican revolution of last February resulted in the busting of Horacio Vasquez, one of the land- ed gentry, and the rise of Gen Ra- fael L. Trujillo, who at 38 is the youngest national president in the world.
 Bolivia was the next to change from a civil to a military govern ment. Like Vasquez in the Domini- can republic, Dr. Hernando Siles at tempted to circumvent the consti- tuition so he could remain president longer than the term for which he had been elected.
 The result was the establishment of a military junta, headed by Gen. Carlos Blanco Galindo. which took over all functions of government in June.
 In August Peru followed Bolivia s suit. Army officers drove Dr. Au- gusto B. Leguia from the presiden-

FAMOUS WORK

Tn the chapel of Washington and Lee University at Lexington, Va, lies the marble figure of a sleeping
 soldier, the right arm resting across the chest while the fingers of the
 left hand lie where they have fallen on the hilt of swort. It is the |recumbent statue of General Robert |E. Lee, the work of art for which
 Edward Virginius Valentine gained
 world wide fame.
 So life-like is the statue that art critics have said the visitor speaks
 softly as though afraid of awaken ling him who has "lain down to pleasant dreams.
 Probably no other work, Of Ed ward Valentine is so well known although some critics have pro- nounced his "Andromache and As tyanax," in the Valentine museum at Richmond, his masterpiece. The talented sculptor who placed his art first throughout his life held his association with General Lee as one of his most treasured memories, and many of his critics say he carved much of the Southern leaders char acter in the marble of the recum-
 bent statue

Over Eight Tn ousand d Claims Are Rejected
 Receiver Is Optimistic

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 21.- Edward Stringer, Special Master In Chancery, has rejected 8.850 claims filed by the Public Uutili- ties Consolidated Corporation charg- ing the corporation was paying dividends illegally, unlawfully and improperly" the year prior to the time it collapsed with other con- cerns of sthe w. B. Foshay sys- tenn.
 The ruling determined. the cor pcration has enough resources to pay it's debts provided its rejection of some of the disputed claims are approved.
 Strlnger characterized as worth only per cent of its face" total of $7,600,000 which the Foshay Company owes the Public Utili- ties Consolidated Corporation on open account.
 Rejection reduced to about $1,- 10000 the amount of claims against the corporation which are not disallowed by the United States District Court or the Special Mas ter. Of that amount $1,000,000 is disputed by the receiver of the utilities corporation and is being contested in the Federal Court. Should the receiver win these cases, the total claims which the utili- ties corporation admits valid could be scaled to $400,000 Receiver Chapman said this amount will be more than covered by cash and negotiable assets.
