Following Information Search Re veals $20 0 Worth of Purloined Goods Delivery Driver Is Also : Implicated. Hundreds of dollars worth of mer chandise are said to have been lost ljy a local coffee company, through pecu lations of one or more of Its employes. The losses came to light yesterday through the matrimonial difficulties of Dominic Terris and his divorced wife, Mrs. Josephine Hardy. Following a prosecution brought by the woman, Terris reported to Constable Lou Wag ner that he believed that a. large quan tity of goods belonging to the German I American Coffee Company, was in the house of his former wife. The manager of the company was notified by Wagner, and he accom panied the Constable to the place, all the time declaring that his company had suffered no loss. At the house were found three barrels of coffee, a chest of tea, a large coffee mill, a quantity of cigars and other articles, estimated to aggregate $200 in value. Mrs. Hardy was arrested and a warrant issued for Enoch Knott, a driver for the coffee company. A son of the wo man is also employed by the coffee company. Airs. Hardy brought charges some days ago against Terris, charging him with threatening to kill. In retaliation, he reported the matter of the coffee, and in addition accused Mrs. .Hardy of shooting at him. Mrs. Hardy told the officers that Knott had said to her that he had made $2000 "on the side" while driving for the coffee company.

Does it not also demonstrate that it is possible the theories of the one engineer named by the city may be wrong, and that the formulas of the designers, who have ac tually designed hundreds of structures, are, after all, correct? If rehabilitated according to his plans, the structure will be ruined architecturally and, after being cut to pieces to make repairs to-roadway, which actual tests now demonstrate are unnecessary, there is a grave question whether it will stand like tests. Any city official who feels a real interest in public mat ters, and any taxpayer interested in an unnecessary expendi ture of $10,000 or $15,000, which the city will unquestionably be obliged to pay, is invited to inspect the bridge now, as the enormous mountains of sand and cement will not be removed until Monday noon. VISIT THE BRIDGE, East Twenty-eighth street and Sandy Road, and see for yourself whether it appears safe to . you. WHY DOES THE CITY ENGINEER REFUSE TO EXAMINE THE BRIDGE UNDER TEST TWICE THAT PRESCRIBED BY THE ORDINANCES? WHY DID HE NOT INSIST ON SUCH A TEST WHEN THE CITY LAWS REQUIRE TESTS OF ALL STRUCTURES? Why do city officials judge of the safety of other struc tures by application of actual test loads, and refuse even to consent to a test of this bridge, or recognize its value?
