"Being admitted on her own recogni tion, of course, if she violates any of our laws, we have two remedies. Our courts may pass on her acts or we may deport her. There being the element of doubt as to whether moral turpitude or political offence was involved, we decided that we have sufficient safe guards and that there can be no harm in admitting her." Caminetti Favors Release. The decision by the president and secretary "Wilson was communicated to commissioner general Caminetti, who issued the formal order of release.

Oct- 20. The Twenty-third Annual con vention of the American Rail way Bridge Building association, which, will meet In Montreal tomor row, has a peculiar interest because of its proximity to the famous Quebec bridge now being reconstructed. The parts of the new structure are being made at the St. Lawrence Bridge com- .., i0t on i tr'n through this panys plant and a tr p tnrougn w i great establishment will be one of tne features of the convention. The new- lv completed St. Lawrence uriage aiau ' .. - i nA iT-tl, IntAriMit hACnllse Will uc iiiaii.-cicu w. ...... . - of a number of innovations introduced in its conventions. Bridge Building Is Delicate Task. The progress in br;dge building is as notable as in other building opera tions. The building of a great bridge is a much more difficult task than the erection of a sky scraper building. Because the most difficult work is now sometimes performed under water, or the bridge is a little out of the fre quented thoroughfares, the public is not aware of the enormous risk and labor called forth in its building. The slightest deviation from the dimen sions or the smallest flaw in the ma terial used may cause the failure of tho structure, involving the loss of mil lions of dollars and much human life. "When the first Quebec bridge was V about half completed in 1907. it col lapsed without warning. Eighty per sons were killed and a vast amount of money lost The failure -was due to faulty ma terials. It was designed to sustain a unit weight of 30,000 pounds and failed under a stress of less than 1.700. In the erection of the new structure every possible precaution is taken to guard against a repetition of the dis aster. Every bit of material Is sub jected to the most rigid tests and the expert bridge builders of the con tinent are eager to inspect the methods by which this is being done in the va rious parts of the structure. The trusses of the new bridge are to be twice as strong and the bottom cords five times as strong as the first bridge. This bridge is to be located about eight miles from Quebec and will contain the largest single span of any bridge yet built, the distance between the two main p!ers being 1.800 feet New York's Newest Bridge. It Is not so much its size, however, as for its design that the Quebec bridge is remarkable. Several bridges in the United States are larger and have cost more to erect Among them is the Manhattan bridge in New York city recently opened for foot traffic This bridge is a double deck pattern. Its first deck will have a 35 foot road way in the center and two subway tracks and an eleven foot wide foot walk upon each side. The top deck will have four trolley tracks. The total width of the Manhattan bridge is 120 feet. The land secured for Its buildings included 160 feet unon each water side. The land upon the Man-! hattan side cost $8,000,000. It was in i the improved tenement district and it was necessary to condemn many buildings which were paying their owners a good profit The Brook lyn land was "In a poorer district and only half as valuable. The development of railroad traffic has had a great influence upon the methods and requiremente of bridge construction. Both cars and locomo tives are being built heavier than formerly in order that they may carry greater loads. The stress upon the railroad bridges has Increased pro portionally. Upon some roads all rrelght cars are required to have a capacity of 100.000 pounds. An im portant feature of railroad bridge con struction is strengthening a bridge or replacing It with a new one without interfering with traffic. Sometimes this is done by substituting false work under the bridge while new supports are being built Sometimes other CContlnued on Page Four.)

As they were at Lordsburg a year ago. they will readily note improve ments that have marked the past year. One of the very recent improvements was the grading of a stretch of road leading into Lordsburg from the di rection of El Paso, across a flat that otten became impassable in rainy weather.
