“TWO MORE MOVES [COURT MGRY AT FOR SUPPRESSION OF “BRIDGE HOGS” Commissioner Stevenson Aids in the War Begun by Bingham. IN CHARGE OF EXPERT. Mr. Martin, Who Knows the Bridges Thoroughly, to Be in Complete Control. The war for the suppression of the “Bridge Hog” begin by Gen. Bingham at the suggestion of The Evening World took another turn in favor of public de- cency to-day. Bridge Commibstoner Stevenson, took steps that will help| Cases materially to smooth out the kinks that canse congestion on both the Brooklyn end Williamsburg bridges. He put Kingsley L. Martin, who ts at present agesistant engineer in charge of the Wil- Namsburg Bridge, in absolute charge of both bridges. Heis a son of Chief n+ gineer Martin, who for twenty years! had charge of the Brooklyn bridge. Archibald McLean, who is now in ebarge of the Brooklyn Bridge,’ main- tains tls office at the same salary of 98,000. He must, however, report to Mr. Martin and take orders from him. Olaf M. Kelly has been designated as assietant, engineer in charge of the ‘Williamsburg Bridge, but he also must Feport to Engineer Martin, His salary will be $2,400. Mr. Martin has been assigned to this @uty because he ts familar with every @etafl of the bridges both from a mechanical and traffic-carrying point of view. Chance to Work New Ideas. ‘The Commissioner got many valuable @ugsestions from Mr. Martin and the changes made to-day are mainly (or the purpose of giving the engineer a @ne of his assistant engineers to the New York entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge to act in conjunction with the extra police assigned there during the wush bours at The Evening World's @uggestion. This is to prevent a repett- tion of the scenes of a few nights ago when @ surface car broke down and locked ¢raffic, with ite consequent jam and crush, By having an expert there who can act quickly and intelligently guch dlocks will be avoided, Bingham Seems Satisfied. It was expected that Police Commin+ stoner Bingham would go to. the Man- hhattan end of the Brookiyn Bridge either late vesterday afternoon or dur- ing the rush hours this morning to see ‘how his scheme to eliminate the ‘Hog’ would work under all conditions, The woutine of his offics ocoupled so much of his time yesterday that he did not * get the opmortunity. He slept late to- day after his fatigue of the day before. ‘The Commissioner is living in police duty, every act of the Commissioner that he wants to devote all of bis time to the study of his “new job.” Not Doing Any Talking. ‘The Commissioner is a philosopher, He emokes a pipe, and while he is puffing on it he appears at peace with all men. He just puffs, and puffs and “new Commfsrioner a not doing talking these days, He wants to ne on everything, and he ie do- eald: “[ don’t do any talking, A man who ‘talks has no time to think. I am doing @ heap’ of thinking these days—and Mont you forget that fact.” Too Busy for Talk Recreation. “Don't you think, Commissioner, reporter asked, “that for man who has to concentrate his thoughts all the time ‘on the business that he !s engaged in talking 1s a recreation?” Like a flash the Commissioner came back. “1 am too busy,” he sald, “to have any recreation.” a settling back in the clair, and 4 3 pat i PLEAS FOR MERCY Efforts to Influence Sen- tence of a Prisoner. Recorder Goff was very much incensed to-day over several letters asking him to show mercy in the case of a prisoner oonvicted of assault in the second de- gree. One of the letters was written by former Superintendent of Buildings Isaac A. Hopper. Another was written by Morris Hirach When the prisoner, Thomas Febing, ‘was arraigned before tha Recorder for sentence the jurist turned on him and sald: “Young man, gif I sentenced you to- day, you would gét the Hmit.
