GIGANTIC BRIDGE OVER HUDSON.
By Far the Largest Suspension Bridge
in the World.
The Hudson river bridge, an undertaking
beyond precedent in the history
of engineering, has apparently
been taken from the realm of conjecure
and made an actuality by the re^
cent announcement that a company
(has been formed to build it, and that
plans have been drafted, the charter
declared constitutional, and the work
begun, with actual construction to be
entered upon shortly and completed
in the comparatively short period of
seven years. In announcing the
formal launching of the project, maae
public at a dinner given a few weeks
' ago in New York in honor of the
seventy-first birthday of Gustav Lindenthal,
the designer, who has either
planned "or been consulted in the
planning of practically all the bridges
of the country, the New York Times
said:
"Plans for bridging the Hudson
river with a structure suspended from
two towers, each higher than the
Woolworth building, and having a
capacity greater than the four East
river bridges combined, were indorsed
last night by financial, commercial,
and industrial leaders, at a dinner
of the Hudson River Bridge and
Terminal Association, -Inc., at the
Hotel Plaza.? Ex-Gov. Alfred E. ,
Smith. SDeakine for the Port Au
thority, of which he is a member,
and Gov. Edward I. Edwards, of New
Jersey, also indorsed the project.
I "Samuel Rea, president of the
Pennsylvania railroad, was one of
those who spoke with the warmest
approval of the project. He indicated
that such a structure might furnish
to his railroad a solution for its suburban
traffic, which, according to
Mr. Rea, the Pennsylvania railroad
can not continue indefinitely to
handle through the Pennsylvania
Station.
"Mr. Rea said his interest in the
proposal to bridge the Hudson river
had not wavered since the plan was
first outlined to him twenty-five
years ago by Mr/ Lindenthal. He said
that the city of New York and the
business conducted within it had
grown so enormously within the last
. decade that it was imperative that
this project should be realized if the
metropolitan district were to hold its
own commercially."
More details of the immense structure,
which will be by far the largest
suspension bridge in the world, are
contained in an article in The Scientific
American, which compares the
bridge by diagrams with other notable
engineering feats, and gives the
following statistical information:
"The main outlines of the bridge,
as at present determined, call for a
total length from anchorage to anchorage
of 6,660 feet, divided into
two shore spans each 1,710 feet long,
and a central span across the river
of 3,240 feet. The roadway, 220 feet
'x win width, will be suspended from four
steel chain cables, each consisting of
80 lines of eye-bars arranged in three
banks and enclosed in a water tight
I . tubular casing of bronze plating,
I ' whose diameter will be fifteen feet.'
The upper deck will consist of a
broad automobile and mjotor-truck
roadway 155 feet in the clear, and
there will also be provision for two
i./vllatrHnii tnaal'C onH twn 1 7-fnnt
LI uuc;":mt nuvau UUU Mf. ? ? .
I walks for passengers. On the lower
B deck will be ten trunk railroad lines.
f "The function of a suspension
' -bridfee anchorage is to resist the horizontal
pull of the cables. This, in
the Hudson river bridge, amounts to
260,000 tons. Resistance to this pull,
with a wide margin to spare, is obtained
by building the anchorage of
such size and weight that the frictional
resistance to movement between
itself and the ground is sufficient
to hold the cables taut and do
so with a sufficient friction in reserve
to prevent the slightest movement.
The engineers' calculations
call for a mass of masonry measuring
on its base 400 feet in the direction
of the length of the bridge, 375 feet
in width, and 220 feet in height,
while upon this base will stand two
office buildings 70 feet in width, 250
' feet in length, and 280 feet in height.
"On an equal scale or magnuuae
with the rest of this great structure
is the double-deck suspended floor of
the bridge. On the upper deck, on
the extreme outside, will be two 17foot
passenger footways. Adjoining
these will be two tracks for trolleyIcars.
Between the cables will be
found one of the greatest boulevards
in the w*orld?a clear, unobstructed
roadway 155 feet in width and 12,000
feet in length, including the approaches.
The roadway will be cov
ered with asphalted concrete. It will
be absolutely water-tight and its
broad surface will give ample room
for sixteen automobiles and motor
trucks to pass abreast across the
bridge. On the lower deck will be
ten railway tracks, over which will
pass the transcontinental trains of
all the railroads that come into Jersey
City from -the west and also
freight trains as are destined for
Manhattan, the Bronx, and Long Is
DEATH FOLLOWS WHIPPING.
Spartanburg Guards Under Charges.
Prisoner White Man.
Spartanburg, Sept. 2.?Tom Hatchette
and Lee Porter, guards on the
white chaingang operated by the
county highway commission, were
bound over last night by a coroner's
jury holding an inquest
into the causes of the death
of thomas H. Keelan, who died
at the camp Wednesday after being
severely whipped by the guards.)
They gave bond in the sum of $2,-;
000 each, and have been released.
Keelan was arrested last Friday:
for hoboing, and was sentenced to
serve 30 days for his offense. He
was asked if his people would pay
a fine for him, and he is alleged toi
have said that his people needed the)
money worse than he did, and took
the days.
Wednesday morning he was un?? / >

of being sick, but the guards insisted
on his working, and when he
could not perform the duties imposed
upon him he was severely whipped.
After he got down and was taken
to the shade of a tree it is alleged
that Hatchette kicked him and threw
a bucket of water in his face.
The physician who held the autopsy
said*that there was no organic troufble,
that his heart, spine and brain
were normal, and that death was not
due to any organic trouble. He also
stated that he did not think the
beating alone would have produced
death, but that the man's being ill
and getting the flogging he did made
it possible for him to be overcome
by heat.
The jury recommended that the
men both be discharged from guarding
convicts. There is considerable
feeling in the vicinity where the
camp is located, near Glenn Springs,
over the occurrence.

In speaking before the Merchants'
Assciation of New York, an organization
of business men, George A. Post,
president of the Hudson River Bridge
Corporation, is quoted by Greater

tion, as follows:
"There ought to be a bridge across
the Hudson river, connecting New
York and New Jersey. In that pronouncement,
I am voicing the deep
conviction, not only of the Association
newly formed for promoting that
consummation, but, as well, a
vast multitude of those in
New York and New Jersey
who know and feel that a
bridge is not urged as a solution of all
our port troubles. It is but one of

complished for the safety, comfort,
and convenience' of the millions who
now people the metropolitan district,
and the millions wore who, in years!
to come, will here require adequate
facilities for the pursuit of their myriad
avocations.
"When there shall be a bridge,
miseries in transportation now suffered
will be ended; fetters that now
bind will be cut; growth and development
now hindered will be set free;
Manhattan Island will be safer from
the perils of war and the transportation
vicissitudes of peace time; Greater
New York will be surer of the con
tinuance of its commercial primacy!
in our nation, and New Jersey will
have teeming centers of population
and industry where now are wide expanses
of sparsely settled territory."
The man whose ability and vision
have finally triumphed over untoward
conditions is Gustav Lindenthal,
thus described in the American Magazine
of December, who would thus
seem by experience and vision eminently
fiitted to undertake the stunon^mio
tact nf hridcin?r the Hud
? ? I
son:
"Whenever you look at any bridge
anywhere in this country thpt was
built within the past thirty' years,
you may be certain that Gustav Lindenthal
designed it, or was consulted1
about its design, or that some of his
design formulas were used.
"Take New York, for instance, the
greatest bridge city in the world. It
has the largest three suspension
bridges?Brooklyn, Williamsburg.and
Manhattan?while the Queensboro is
one of the most important of all s
cantilever bridges ana tieu uaie is
the largest of all steel-arch bridges.
Lindenthals* hand was on all of them, j
"He repaired the Brooklyn Bridge, j
finished the the Williamsburg bridge, j
designed the Manhattan and Queensboro
bridges, and built the Hell Gate
bridge."
THEATER MANAGER KILLED.
Crowd Captures Thief After Chase
Through Crowded Street.
Jacksonville, Fla. Sept. 4.?George
S. Hickman, manager of the Palace
theater here, was instantly killed tonight
when a man giving his name
as Frank Rollins, of Chicago, held
up and robbed the cashier's office of
SSOO. Rollins was captured after a
chase of thr'ee blocks by several hundred
persons. He was taken to the
city jail, but shortly was removed to
the county jail for safe keeping.
The robbery occurred within one
block of police headquarters' and
while the show was in progress. Hickman
and E. W. Harris, treasurer for
the theater, were seated in their office,
just off the first balcony of the
building, counting the day's receipts.
Rollins, who had been viewing the
show, lefr his seat and started toward
the exit as though passing out
of the building. As he passed the
cashier's office, he opened the door
and confronted the two men, with the
money lying on the table before them,
and commanded them to throw up
their hands. It took several minutes
for him to convince the two men that
he was in earnest, whereupon Hick
man grabbed the man and was instantly
shot through the left eye.
Harris was struck over the head with
a blunt instrument but not seriously
injured. Rollins darted from the
building with Harris at his heels and
in the crowded street pedestrians
joined in the chase. Patrons of the
theater hearing the shooting began
to pour out, although there was comparatively
little disorder. The show
continued in progress for several
minutes.
After Rollins' arrest several hundred
persons gathered around the
city jail but there was no demonstration,
although officials deemed it advisable
to rush him to the county jail.
I The man said he had only recently
been discharged from custody on a
charge of stealing a suit of cloihes.
He said he had no intention of killing
Hickman, merely wanting the
money. ;
Clemson Alumni Meet.
Coach "Doc" Stewart, of Clemson
college, on Wednesday evening addressed
a meeting of 70 Clemson men,
assembled in Orangeburg from Calhoun,Orangeburg
and Bamberg counties.
Coach Stewart in his usual
modest but forceful way told the
"Tiger" supporters that with their
loyal support at home, he could again
place Clemson athletics back in the
enviable position it held in the days
of "Fritz Fertick, Puss Derrick" and
others of like fame. He .commended
the Clemsonites for the good work
thev had been doing in lining un ex
cellent athletic material, and urged
them to do no less in the future, but
on the other hand bend their efforts
to get others. "Clemson is not only
a college, where honors may be won
in athletics, but a canvass. of the
country as a whole, shows it's graduates
holding high positions, carrying
big responsibilities, in all lines of
business" stated coach. These things
alone should be great inducements to
the young men, who have high ambitions,
to go to Clemson.
The meeting, which was in the
form of a dutch supper, was held in
the K. P. hall; on the programme
were Clemson graduates, who not
only stressed the advantages offered
at Clemson, out tne necessity ui
forming a Clemson chapter. This
was accomplished, all three counties
represented combining into what will
be known as "The Lower Carolina
Clemson Chapter." The officers of
the chapter are: M. E. Zeigler,
Orangeburg, president; M. H. Banks,
Calhoun county, St. Matthews, vice j
president; W. L. Neeley, Olar, Bamberg
county, vice president; N. G.
Thomas, Cope, Orangeburg county,
vice president; and H. C. Wannamaker,
Jr., Orangeburg, secretary-treas.
Excellent music was furnished by
the Wolfe orchestra, and Miss Lucile
Dibble, which served to not only entertain
the Tiger aggregation, but"
assisted in restoring the "pep" which
the famous Clemson band instilled
into them, during their years at
Clemson. The supper was served by
the Dixie club.
Professor A. J. Thackston, superintendent
of the Orangeburg city
schools, who for several years had
on the Tiger football and baseball
team, a son who proved to be a star,
spoKe along; tne unes 01 me goua accomplished
through clean athletics.
He stated that it tended to produce a
clean mind, clean body, and a clean
soul, all of which are necessary in the
making of a real man. Rev. R. L.
Merryman, who has known Coach
Stewart for a number of years, told
his hearers of the record which coach ,
has made for himself and his teams
throughout the west and middle
west, stating that he knew that the
j purple and gold would within the
| next few months make itself felt under
his able direction.
