clare that two Americans were klll-
formally dedicated today wlih lm-1 ed in a mob outbreaa last night and

Missouri and Governor Deneen ot
Illinois were the central figures in
the exercises. The other partici

St Louis and the mayors of num
erous cities on the Illinois side ot
the river and representatives of many
commercial organizations. Speecn-
making, parades and fireworks were
features of the dedication program.
Th« new bridge was constucted
at a cost of $3,000 000 by the Mc«
Klnley traction Interests, controlling
Jarge Interurban railway lines
throughout this section. The struc
ture commands attention not only
because of the enormous outlay re

almost unanimously In favor of an
issue of $3,50o 000 bonds to erect
a municipal bridgo. The designs

W. B. McKinley and his associates

the monopoly by constructing the
bridge which had its formal opening
today.

arbitrary charge for bridge traffic.
The direct revenue from the bridge
must come from tho flve-cents
the local street car sorvlce and the
Interurban fares bnsed on two-cents

course, will be recovered from the
tolls charged foot passengers and
