WLLL N ASKING ABOUT Obstruction of Black- well’s Island Structure. Familiarizing Himself with the Entire Situation. FIND LITTLE BLACK MAN. BY. It Is Believed that Pennsylvania Road Is Putting Obstacles in the Way. Mayor MoCiellan has begun an inves- tigation into the reason why the Blaok- ; well’s Istand Bridge {s being delayed. z He has asked Bridge Commissioner Stevenson to submit a report on the matter. a “I am not ready to talk yet," sald the a Mayor. “Commissioner Stevenson will submit his report in a day or two, I ‘understand a year has been lost in strikes.” a At the office of the Bridge Commis- a sioner it was said that Mr. Stevenson 4 ‘was engaged in famil'arizing himself BE? with every phase of the situation. No 5 information was available, a It was said that since Mr. Stevenson : fesumed office he has been worknig hard trynig to straighten out the snarl fm the Manhattan bridge proceedings. While the Mayor 1s endeavoring to find out why the new link between b vpper Manhattan and Queens fails to materialize the members of the East Side Improvement Association are plan- ning a vigorous campaign for the pur- post of forcing the completion of the structure at the earliest possible mo- ment. The organization was formed with q the object of pushing the work, and the members are determined to eliminate every obstacle. The Little Black Man. Efforts are being made to locate “the 4 nigger in the woodpile.” It, is alleged that when the “little black man” !s dragged out into the light of publicity he will be recognized as the Pennsyl- * vania Railroad, That road Is said to be o. @oing its utmost to shut off the compe- g tition that would cume via the Black- Well's Island Bridge. It is pointed out that one reason given for the delay is the failure to obtain structural steel from the Pennsylvania Steel Company, which Is sald to be controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad. A committee of the East Side Improve- ment Association will call on Mayor McClellan early next week and make @n official demand in the name of the taxpayers and citizens that the work on the bridge be resumed at once. Thomas E. Crimmins, who presided at the meet- ing of the Bast Side Improvement As- fociation on Wednesday night; M. J. Kenny and members of the Queens Pe County organizations which are work- . nig in conjunction with the Manhattan committees are preparing data to sub- mit to Mayor McClellan. Among the organizations interested fm bringing the matter to a head are the Committee of Forty, of Long Island City, the Astoria Taxpayers’ Associa- tion, the Citizens’ Public Improvement Y Association of Hunter's Point, the } Ravenswood Taxpayers’ Association and 7 the Dutch Kill's Taxpayers’ Association, a together with many citixene who are § interested out of civic pride, One of the Obstacles. ‘One of the obstacles in the way of the completion of the bridge has been the elow-going condemnation proceed- inga It has been changed that the be Corporation Counsel's office has not been sufficiently active in the matter. “Under the condemnation law there must be tedious delays," said Corpora- tion Counsel Delaney to-day, ‘The papers in this case, however, are now before the court, but the commission- ers have not been appointed. This of- fice suggested a bill, which le now be- fore the Legislature, which will remedy @ great many of the evils in the con- demnation law, It provides that when 3 the Corporation Counsel petitions the x court for the appointment of commis- sioners he also files am offer for each K plece of property Included in the pro- ceedings. The owner could then ac- ® cept If the sum was satisfactory. This 3 offer must be approved by thé Board of 3 Estimate and Apportionment. 4 “The new law, should it pass, would not, however, relieve the Blackwell's Island Bridge from .he vexatious de- lays, as that matter has already pro- ceeded in the usual way.” ‘The failure of the bridge to be com- ploted has been a source of hardship fo thousands of taxpayers and property ewhers in both Manhattan and Queens Among the sufferers are many working- qhen, who, when the bridge was pro- posed, put thelr savings Into lots in Queens in the hope of being able to move from the congested east side to Long Ivland when that section was Mnked with Manhattan, These men how witness a e@tagnated real estate market in the country tapped by the proposed bridge, while that section to be invaded by the new Pennsylvania improvements is in the midst of a great boom. —— Epglishmen to See Cotton Grow.

A bookworm is considered a monster tf {t measures a half inch tn length. | This specimen !s more than seven-| elghths of an inch long. It would be a curiosity In any event, as its species are not discovered oftener than once in five or ten years, but this fellow would well be entitled to enter the! freak department of a bookworm cir- cus as “The Great Brooklyn Giant." Mrs, J, B, Cullen, of No. 54 Lewis” avenue, was looking over some old. books on Tuesday morning, when an eel-like creature of a pale lemon color, } wrigging onengetically, fell out of a German hymn book, The book, written in pen and ink by Mrs. Cullen's mother more than fifty years ago, had not been touched for a dozen years. Mrs. Cullen discovered that its pages had been tunnelled through by the bookworm and ihat quantities of the leather cover had been appropriated by the creature for meals. The Evening World sent an assistant of Dr. Southwick, the city entomologist, to eee the giant, and he pronounced it at once a member of the bookworm family. ‘The creature was.a true worm, with no legs, but the same function of locomo- tion’ as a serpent. It had nineteen Joints in its sleucer body. Its head was & sharp cinnamon-colored point. At its fall It \had a epike to push Iteelt along ——— GIRL NOT STOLEN. Brother Feared Abduction, She Only Lost Way. Rose Ginsburg, twenty years oM, and just arrived from her home in Russia, disappeared, and her brother, Simon, of No. 44 Madison street, Van Nest, the Bronx, asked the police to look for her. Her brother said the girl went to visit friends last night and did not return home. The brother had head so much about girls being captured by men and held prisoners that he was afraid his sister had been taken Hardly had the poilce begun thelr search when the girl was found. She had simply lost her way, Bat 5 MAAeMeAnaneananaanannennnees; HECHT BAUD. 259-261 SIXTH AV. (Open Late ate Saturday Night.) The Clothing that May Be Bought On Credit.
