St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10.—The new McKinley bridge, the largest bridge spanning the Mississippi River, was AMERICANS KILLED BY Troublesome Times Between Mexico and Uncle Sam Over Lynching in Texas. San Antonio, Tex., Nov. 10—Re ports this morning trom Mexico de clare that two Americans were klll- formally dedicated today wlih lm-1 ed in a mob outbreaa last night and t , posing ceremonies. Gov; Hadley ot Missouri and Governor Deneen ot Illinois were the central figures in the exercises. The other partici pants included Mayor Kreismann 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 quired to bridge the Mississippi river, but because it Jt alsa of great importance from the traffic stand point/ Trade * and travel between St. Louis and the great industrial • dis tricts on the'ottfer side of the rivet have b^en handicapped for ‘many years iby the so-called bridge mo nopoly. In 1906 tlie people voted almost unanimously In favor of an issue of $3,50o 000 bonds to erect a municipal bridgo. The designs V ero' made and accepted by the corn- . mitteo in charge, bxit Congressman W. B. McKinley and his associates of the IlHnoIs Traction Company an ticipated the city officials and broke the monopoly by constructing the bridge which had its formal opening today. The franchise by which the Illi nois Traction Company was per mitted to build the bridge anu Us double-tract entrance into the heart of the St. Louis business districts, thus mpUng possible interurhun servleo and electric freight and ex press service, does not permit any 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 a mile. Pome additional revenue, of course, will be recovered from the tolls charged foot passengers and team traffic moving over the road ways at either side of the electric racks. ‘ The new bridge is by far lue most Important and expensive engineering under taking of its kind-build ;»y an interurban railway company.
