MAYOR TO BE IMPORTUNED East Side Delegation to Call on Simon and Ask Him to Begin Construction of Piers In Mid die of River at Once. first of tb condemnation suits to rain rights of way for tha new Broadway Bridge was filed by the City Attorney In the Circuit Court yesterday. The suit Is against tha (Northern Pacific Termi nal Company, and Involves tha rights of way for nearly all the land needed for the east approach for the bridge- There will have to be two more salts filed for lights of way for the east ap proach of the bridge, but they will in volve only very small strips of land at the termination of Broadway. The suit filed yesterday Involves the rights of way to the waters edge on tha ,ast Sid and will allow the contractors for the substructure of the bridge to work from that end. Demands that obstructions to the lnv mediate building of the Broadway bridge be removed at once and that work on that structure be conducted so that It can be completed within a year will be mad to Mayor Simon this morning by a committee representing the East bid Improvement Clubs, who held a prelimi nary conference in the office of Judge M.

CLEETON, - V a will visit the Mayor at 10 o'clock thla morning will not be limited to any set of appointed delegates but all voters and taxpayers who are Interested in the Broadway bridge improvement are nrged to Join In the pilgrimage to tha City Ball. The committee will ask for several specific steps by the city authorltt-s that may aid In tha early settlement of the difficulties now seemingly in ii.e way of the apeedy completion of the bridge. First ot all It will be asked that tha right of way controversy with tha railroad be taken up and disposed of at once either by condemnation proceed ings or by arbitration. The Mayor also will be asked whether It is possible to give Instructions to the contractors to begin work on one of the middle plera of the bridge at once ao that it may be completed ' before the high waters of June, and that the sec ond pier be started Immediately after th June flood so that It can be finished be fore the rush of waters In November. In the meantime. It will be pointed out. the bank abutments can ba placed and the surface work can go on. Further demands will be made that the city start at once the advertisement of the Installment of bonds authorized several weeks ago, so that funds for the development and completion of the structure will be available aa fast aa they are needed. The committee, also, will ask that the city endeavor to reach an agreement with the railroad company that will per mit the work on the bridge to proceed with the question of rights of way and damages unsettled but to be disposed of aa soon aa tha courts or whatever agency la to be employed for this purpose can reach a decision, "If the railroad company la acting In good faith," said Judge Munly yester day, "they will permit this arrangement whereby the bridge can be built before the question of rights and ownership is settled. If the railroad company does not agree to such an arrangement it will be taken aa evidence that the popular belief that th company is opposed to the bridge has a good foundation. "Unless the railroad agree to such a proposition we will expect the Mayor to prevent further work being done on the piers for the new railroad bridge at Gllsan street and demand the full set tlement of all pending questions." Yesterday's meeting was well at tended, all the East Side Interests be ing represented. Besldea Mr. Munly, W. G. Steele, prealdent of the Peninsula League, and George T.

Many pieces of human flesh, none of them weighing more than one pound, were found by Deputy Coroner Dane, who went yesterday to Gresbam to re cover the remains of George Goiler, th Gates farmer believed to have been blown to bit by some powerful ex plosive. Dane pronounces the case a plain one of suicide, basing the conclu sion upon frequent threats to that ef fects made by Goller to his neighbors.

Pieces of the body were scattered for 100 yards. One foot. In Its shoe, waa found hanging on a barb wire fence at a considerable distance from the scene of the explosion. Bits of Clothing found In the vicinity are of the same material aa that ordinarily . worn by Goller. After a thorough search of Gollera house, Dane found only $S In money. Though It is known that he paid his taxea recently, the receipts were not found, and it Is believed that the man, who had many eccentricities, had a secret depository for his valuablea aomewhere about bis home.
