PAUL, Minn,, April 17.—False Set Recommends WORK WELL BEGUN N ¢ ’Steam Shovels and Dredges Digging for Supports Un- der Potomac River. As fast as man-made machinery can change the contours of nature and | find a foundation of solid bed rock, the stalwart plers and abutments to support the Arlington Memorial Bridge are going into place. Glant derricks, steam shovels and dredges are bringing into realization a long- held sentimental dream in this me- rial to the Nation’s heroes. While last week at the river's edge in Potomac Park, just abreast of the in Memorial, the work of ex- i for the foundation of the | Army engineers, machines are working on Columbia Island, over which the bridge will pass, taking off one-third of this land and piling it up on the other two- thirds. This will make the island 0 feet above water, and will allow the bridge roadway to come flush with jthe top level of the island, thus | creating another site for the develop- ment of a beautiful park and play- »und, overlocking the river and Potomac Park on the one side and an excellent view of the hills rlington on the other. Barges Also Busy. as been established tions of the con- > & Co. of Bos- - Park; tem- ve been erect- being placed dredges and levee Tice buildings k at derricks are handling of the materials and ichinery, while in the river two great barges have been anchored on { which 18 being erected the machinery { for the clum shell dredges. | Two clam shell dredges now are dig- | ging into the earth at the river's edge, where the Potomac Park abutment, known as abutment No. 1, will rest. Hourly they scoop out scores of cubic | vards of earth, to continue until they | reach solid rock. Coffer dam plates | will be placed here also to protect workmen from the river water pres- ure, while the cement foundations are Leing lald for the pler, which the spring line, the point at which each of the spans for the superstructure will turn for the arc. It will be necessary to excavate to a depth of 50 feet before rock fs reached, and if it is not solid, then it will be neces- sary to clean off any rotten rock and keep going until the bed rock fs reached. Five Months of Digging. This alone Isa long operation. It was estimated by G. A. Follett, resident| representative of the contractor, | that it will require about five months | to complete this operation so the tirst cement may be laid. All of the plers will be concrete up to & point three feet below low tide, and then con- crete faced with granite to the spring line. The steel piling for the cofferdams is being received in tha Potomac Park yard, ready to be placed by the derricks so that the pile-driving machines may drive it into place. Each piece of steel piling interlocks with its adjoining one, and the whole is faced with timber to withatand the heavy pressure of water. While it will tak# months to com- plete the first abutment, operations will not be confined to this. The construction of the cofferdams in the river w begin as soon as the two river dredges are completed at their anchorages just off the sea wall of the Potomac Park yard. It was estimated by Mr. Follett that the operations will begin on two of the eight plers which will stand in the river proper within the next three weeks. Two of the elght plers in the | river will be abutment piers, because | they will carry the weights of the bascule bridge—e draw span that opens In the center, the roadways lifting in the air. One year from next September, If no unforeseen difficulties develop, this work will be completed, and the work of connecting the plers and abutments by the roadway spans will be started. The contract for this work, however, has not as yet been let. Railroad Yard Needed. In connection with the work on the bridge, & small raflroad yard is to be constructed on the Virginia shore for the easy handling of materials for the contractor, and bids were opened last week for the spur Hne which will connect with the Rosslyn branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad which runs close by. Off in the distance, viewed from Potomac Park, two great Army engi- neer dredges, the Talcott and the Dalecarlia (the latter so named be- cause it is constructed of machinery taken from the Dalecarlia Reservoir of the District of Columbia), are en- | gaged in one of the greatest engineer- ing operations in this section of the country. There, almost silently, day after day they have been sucking down one-third of Columbia Island| and pumgping it as liquid mud Into the levee, where it is allowed to settle the water running off into the river again. For the first time In this vicinity, it was sald, levee building machines are being employed. They are scooping up earth around the land and building the 20-foothigh ee, forming a sort of crater into which the dredges are pumping the rest of the island. Change in Channel. This change in the contour of the island is made necessary incident to the construction of the bridge in order that the present Georgetown channel of the Potomac River may be moved so that it will pass under the center of the bridge, where the bascule span will be located. 'This work will be finished in June, when, it was estimated by H. H. James, of the District engineer’s office. 2,500.000 cubic yards of mud will have been moved in the work of rebuilding Co- lumbia Island and forming the founda- tion for a great playground for the District. Some idea of the labor-saving work of these machines may be obtained from the fact that one of them will move and place on the islands 6,000 cubic yards of earth in a day of 16 present_contractor will bring to the!

The campaign for $200,000 to erect a memorial temple in Potomac Park to the 26,000 sons of the District of Co- lumbia who served in the armed forces during the World War, entered its second week today, with a total of $44,699 subscribed. In making this announcement last night, the memorial commission stated that a constantly increasing number of reports were being received from patriotic, civic and other organ- izations as to new mevements put on foot for the memorial. Beginning tomorrow it is expected | the public will be able to make contri- i butions to the fund at any bank in the city. Through request of F. G. Addi- son, jr., president of the District Bank- ers’ “Association, the bankers have been asked to co-operate to this ex- tent in the campuaign, and placards presenting the matter have been dis tributed. ‘It is expected by the com- mission that a considerable subscrip tion to the memorial will find its way through the bank windows of the city. Police Asked to Aid. A memorandum sent out by Mal. Edwin B.

The precinct and bureau commanders will recetve subscriptions, and, according to preliminary indica tions, efforts will be made to get 100 per cent record among the police. Several business houses und other institutions throughout the city were | reported to be participating in the campaign through activity of em- ployes themselves. In some estab- lishments lists were being passed around, which in several departments ‘were establishing 100 per cent records for_subscriptions. Chiet clerks of the Government de- partments and establishments had not made their reports to John Poole, treasurer of the fund, and chairman | of the campaign committee last night, but it was understood that interest in the memorial was growing among the Government departments.

President Coolldge, 1t was pointed out, not only contributed; he commended the project. In the Jetter transmitting his contribu- ion to Frank B. Noyes, chalrman of the Memorial Commission, the Chief Executive said: “This 1s an exceedingly worthy proposal, not only because it is a fitting testimonial to the admi- ration which is held fcr those who made this great sacrifice, but also on account of the appropriate and beautiful memorial which it is proposed to erect.

Democrat, opened his campaign for the Republican pri- mary nomination for the same office here tonight. Col. Brookhart indi- cated that his campaign would be based largely upon his record in the Senate, and that his position on nu- merous fssues, particularly those of importance to the farmers, would be contrasted with the stand taken by Senator A. B. Cummins, who will be his chief primary opponent. Referring to the contest through which he lost his seat, Col. Brook- hart declared the Senate had not re- spected the rights of his State in elec- tion matters, adding that “Senator Cummins asked to be excused from | voting and did not raise his voice in | defense of the laws of his State.” | The former Senator also pointed Suicide Is Given Church Funeral With Police Aid | By the Associated Press.

The pastor of the lone village church had refused to officlate at the funeral. He declared that he could not pray for one who had committed a sin by killing himself. He ordered the rope to the church bell cut, and the doors locked. Relatives of the dead man ob- tained & court order for & church funeral, but the pastor stood pat. Police ‘then battered down the church door. Firemen climbed into the belfrey and replaced the rope so that the bell could be tolled.

The women prisoners would be housed in the new addition, entirely separated from the main jall buflding. Now the woman prisoners, housed in the east wing of the jail, must go through the main jail corrider in order to reach their quarters. The proposed arrangement will be a great advantage over the present and super vision will be much easier when the women prisoners are in a separate building “2. A larger number of additional prisoners can be accommodated for the same expenditure, for the reason that the proposed new twing for women need not be of §o expensive constructfon as the present jail bulld. ing, as it has been the experience of the jail authorities that women pris- on(l'rs seldom, if ever, try to break Jail, “3. By removing the old cells in the main bullding now occupled by women, and removing the kitchen to the new wing, the present east wing can be remodelled into dormitories at a lower cost than cell construction and will accommodate a larger num- ber of prisoners, because there will be better opportunity for ventilation in dormitory construction. The east wing can thus be made to accommo- date from 200 to 220 additional pris- oners in dormitories. Provisions for Ill Prisoners. ‘With additional facilities fur- nished as thus planned, it will be pos- sible, at most times, when the jafl is not usually crowded, to keep the sick prisoners in the east dormitiory of the wing which can be used for a hospital ward and thus avoid the very objectional proctice of sending sick prisoners to mingle with the other sick in Gallinger Municipal Hospital." The amendment urged by the Com- missioners reads as follows: “That the Commissioners of the District of Co- Jumbia be, and they are hereby author- ized to construct an additional build- ing at the District jail, and to re. arrange the interior construction of the east wing of the present jail building so as to provide accommoda- tions for not less than 200 additional { prisoners. at a cost of $300,000.” The bill providing the additfonal facilities at the jail was drafted by the Commissioners following The Star's expose of overcrowded condi- tions. now, but the other sections up the river as far as Benning Bridge are about completed as to recl: fon and will be ready for park treatment soon In fact, the Army engineers are read: now to begin the work of reclamation above the Benning Bridge, because o the fact that the dredging plant whis has been used below the bridge has about completed its work. The plan for the development ir Sectlon C has just reached the pen ciled drawing stage when the bill was introduced in Congress seeking it transfer from the Federal Parks office to the District of Columbia. Becaus of the turn of events in the introduc {tion of the measure, which alreac |has pussed the Senate, the work completing these plans were stopped.
