JORDAN UdttU Ann WILLYS-OVERLAND a. SALES COMPANY, Limited, mat lour motors of only to h.p. capacity are required to open and close the bridge in 45 seconds, in a 25 m.p.h, wind. The clear height of the bridge above water level is 25 ft. 7 and tug traffic can therefore pass beneath, it when In operation, a definite seauenr.e has to be followed, and unless- one step is correctly completed, another movement cannot be started.

When it 1b desired to open the bridge for the passage of a ship, the operator signals to the man in control of the railway traffic, who sets all signals against the trains. This can only be done when all traffic is clear of the bridge and its approaches. This movement automatically energises me Driage circuits, which can then be, dealt with. The operator next starts 1 two motors, which withdraw the locking bolts, each of 400' weight. This concluded, the tall locking struts at the inboard ends can be withdrawn, after which the leaves can be lifted.

In closing, the same sequence is, followed in the reverse order, and not until the locks are set can clear signals be given for trains. The operator is informed of the correct behavior.of all ports by Indicator lamps on his and, if a Jam should occur, everything is locked automatically. The last few inches when lowering out are taken at greatly reduced speed. All gear has been installed in duplicate to en sure uninterrupted operation. The bridge has been built by the Meeilntic-Marshall Company and was erected b3? the Arthur McMullen Company.

The Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Company, of East Pittsburgh, supplied the operating and protective gear, which -was worked out in conjunction with the engineers of the Department of Plant and Structures, of the city of 'New York.

SOLD BY HORHSBY Received $100 for Each Share Held in St Louis; Baseball Club ALL PARTIES SATISFIED National League, New York and St.

Louis Clubs and Player Made Concessions New York, April 10. The controversy over Rogers Horhsby'a atock In the St. Louis Cardinals was settled satisfactorily yggterday when compromise was effected by the National League, the New York and St. Louis clubs, whereby the former manager of the world's champions was paid $116,700 for his. 1,167 shares in the St.

Louis club. Hornsby haT been holding out for $105 a share for the stock, for which he paid $45 In 1925. He received $100 a share. The case was settled after a two-hour conference, which was attended by Hornaby and his attorney, William John A. Heydler, president of the National League: Charles" Stoneham, president of the Giants, and John J.

McGraw, manager and vice-president of the New York club. Yesterday's conference followed Friday's meeting" in Pittsburgh when the parties concerned failed to reach an agreement and President Heydler ruled that Hornsby was ineligible to play with theNew York club while he had the St Louis stock. The New York club, through its attorneys, was prepared to seek an injunction restraining the National League from preventing Hornsby from playing with the Giants at the opening of. the season on Tuesday At the close of the conference President Heydler' said: "An agreement has been reached for the- purchase of the Hornsby stock in the St Louis club at a price satisfactory to all In bringing about this solution con cessions were made by Hornsby, the St. Louis and New York clubs, and the National League.

The Block will revert to Samuel Breadon, president of the Cardinals, for the benefit ot the St. Louis Club." In addition to this official statement President Heydler said: "The settlement of the Hornsby case establishes a principle the National League has long stood for. Every one Is satisfied and no hard Reeling has been left Undoubtedly the National League will adopt a rule prohibiting active players from owning baseball stock In the future. The constitution will probably be amended at the next meeting." In selling his stock back.to President Breadon, of the St Louis Club, Hornaby 'made a -profit of $65,185 after holding the stock less than two years. When Hornsby became manager in June, 1925, he purchased share of stock In the Cardinals at $45 a share.

Last winter when differences arose between Hornsby and the St. Louts Club, a deal was made between the St. Louis and New York clubs transferring Hornsby to the for Frank Frlsch and Jimmy King. Hornsby was a baseball Idol in St. Louis after winning the world's championship, lu the series with the Yankees.

The action of the club in trading him to New York aroused bad feeling among the St. Louis fans ahid President Breadon was the target for a storm of criticism. WANTED $105 A SHARE. After Hornsby was transferred to NeW York with the approval of the National League, he announced that he wouJd not part with his stock for less than $105 -a share. He pointed to the big profits of the St.

Louis club last season as a basis of his claims. The National League expected that' the Hornsby stock would soon be disposed of and faced an embarrassing predicament when Rogers refused President Breadon's first offer 'of $60 a share. President Heydler announced that ft was against the principle of the National League for a player of one club to own stock in another club, establishing, as It did, a basis for the charge of "syndicate ball." The attitude of the New York club has been that, although the case established a new condition In the National there was nothing in the by-laws of the organization which prevented a player from holding stock in another club. The New York club was ready to stand on-its legal rights and was prepared to st-ek an Injunction to prevent President Heydler from barring Hornsby from playing with the Giants. President Breadon raised his offer to $87 a share at the conference held in Pittsburgh on Friday, but Hornsby held out for his original price of $105.

No compromise was. effected at the' Pittsburgh conference, and another legal baseball tangle loomed up on the eve of the season's opening.

Toronto Lake, sides made further progress in their blit for the Canadian ladles' senior basketball championship hy sweeping the two-game series with Ottawa HOPE TO DISGOYER-OLD CIVILIZATION Donald B. MacMillan and Five Scientists Going on Expedition MYSTERIOUS CONTINENT Source of Eskimo Folklore Tales Will Also Be Sought Quest of Scientific Data (SpediaJ to The Gazette.) Boston, April 10. When Commander Donald B.

MacMillan calls from here in Judy for 15 or more months in the Arctic, he will have no objective as definite as the ole, hut he does hope to find something equally Impractical and romantic the mysterious continent which Greenlanders say lies beyond the sea." At least he has confidence of being able to find traces which wtill confirm the northern mytha about this land. Commander MacMillan disclosed some of his plans while in this city purchasing supplies for his newest expedition, in which he will be ac companied by five scientists under the auspices of the Field Museum of Natural History at Chicago, They hope to study In exhaustive fashion the geological formation of hitherto unexplored Arctic regions; to collect botanical specimens at present unknown. Natural historyi will not be neglected special attention will be paid to birds, fish and animals thut make this part of the world their home. STet there is a far deeper and more romantic side to this expedition which hopes to discover traces of an ancient civilization, now forgotten, upon whose exploits some of the Eskimos' fantastic folklore may be founded. Perhaps hy tracing the source of some of these tales which Eskimo story-tellers still delight to relate during the long winter evening they' may stumble upon Akilinek, that mysterious continent which Greenlanders still claim Ilea bevond the sea.

"Whether these folk tales will re-' veal any worthwhile information Is hard to determine," said Commander "In all probability they will not supply direct information, but will only suggest clues that may be worth following up. Soiae of them un doubtedly contain 'nistoncai- data, similar to that contained in the Odyssey and Iliadi For example, there is the story of Kumagdlat and Asaiok. which is well-known in all parts of Greenland. "This tale probably refers to certain events during the sojourn of the Eskimo on "the American continent. In addition, it tells of the first appearance of culture, as well as the first crude attempts to provide tools and knives from sea shells, stones and metals.

The or fabulous beings, mentioned in the narrative, probably refer to early meetings and conflicts with the Amer ican Indians. Another -story concerns the Invention of dog-sledging and the taming of some wild animals to act as the motive power, from which the preent Eskimo dog has descended." -This Is the tale of the brother who went to Akilinek in search of his sister. Other tales are derived frjwn the earliest sources of all folklore and fairy tales. According to Knud Rasmussen, there are many parallels to fairy tales and legends of other lands and other ages, including the version of the Bluebeard theme In Imarosusus, who, it is said, was wont to eat his wives," FARM LANDS INUNDATED Manitoba Rivers Swollen After Heavy Eains Winnipeg, April 10. -Heavy rainfall over the week-end has taueed great anxiety to rural residents along the Asslnibolne, Bed and Seine rivers in Manitoba.

Starting early Sunday morning, ruin fell until early this rffternoon in most districts of the river sections, and the Seine, swollen by recent ruins, is a raging torrent In southeastern Manitoba. The Red River, while running free of ice, was climbing rapidly toward flood stage, while flooding along the Asslnibolne, to the west of the city, is feared. Ste. Anne, Lorette and Saltel districts, in the southeastern section of the "province along the Seine, have suffered heavy damage. Hundreds of acres of farm lands have been inundated, basements of farm homes have been flooded and in some pluccs small buildings and supplies have been carried away by the onrushing waters.

Numerous country highways have been made Impassable by the floods, FIREMAN FATALLY HURT 26 Children, 8 Adults of In-stitution Homeless St. Paul, April lO.One fireman was fatally burned and 28 children and eight adults were left homeless when fire late today destroyed the main building ot the Ramsey County (St. Paul) Preventorium, an institution for the treatment of tubercular children.

REVISE CONSTITUTION All Petty Amendments Grouped in One Resolution Put Forward by Mount Royal League Frank Greenleaf was elected presl- Association tor the ensuing year at Saturday's annual meeting of the provincial body, held In Salons A and of the Windsor Hotel. The unanimous choice of Mr.

who was last year supervisor of hockey in the province, followed an un-- successful attempt on the part of the delegates to persuade Past-president Leo Burns to continue in office, for another term. Mr. Burns thanked the association for the kindly gesture but reiterated that pressure of business forced him to decline. Yl. 1 1 c.nnAAAA tiVonlr "VVainwright, as first vice-president, and Tom Fuller, supervisor of the Quebec City disrlct, was re-elected second vice-'president.

Unanimous approval greeted the motloa that Frank Morrlssey be elected lary-treasuer of the organization for a fifth term. F.W. Browne was reelected to" the post of registrar, the additional members' of the registration committee being Deese Browne, Maurice Forget and Eddie Sinclair. The forming of eub-regietration jc-ommittees was left' to the various chairmen who were to continue In office. Routine business occupied the greater part o'f the lengthy session.

Petty amendments were grouped in one resolution put forward by the Mount Royal Intermediate League that the constitution of the association be subjected to a general re vision, roe inuiiun was carueu uuu the incoming executive Instructed to appoint a committee to re-draft the- by-laws. Many minor points which have caused difficulty through possible lack of clarity will in this way be disposed of. It was the only resolution of importance. Juvenile provincial play-downs were proposed but owing to the present financial status of the association the sueeestion was con sidered out of the question. Satisfaction was voiced regarding the strides made by the youngsters during the past year.

Business arising out of the minutes took up the early part of the afternoon. It was reported that the junior fixture fee of one dollar had been remitted owing to the present struggling condition of Junior 'hockey, and in this connection a resolution was moved and carried that Section B-4 of By-law 11, calling for the fee, be suspended indefinitely. JThe question of remittance 01 junior Weglstration fees, however, was left to the discretion of the incoming officers. The action of the outgoing executive in appointing Fred Browne registrar during the year just rast and electing Raoul Dumouchel as a gistratlon board was ratified by the meeting and the by-law amended accordingly. The report of Chairman Jim Foley of the Tremblay Benefit Fund Committee, met with loud-voiced proval.

Discussion as to the method of disposition of $587 gathered was carried on at length, the final decision being that the sum be placed in a special trust fund to be administered by the Q.A.H.A., a monthly cheque for twenty-five dollars being Issued to the family of the unfortunate Chicoutiml player until the fund is exhausted. COMMERCIAL HOCKEY PROBLEM The question of commercial hockey was also mooted, particularly by the delegates from Quebec; City, whq complained that unaffiliated groups were crowding them out. Mr. Fullef was of the opinion that the lime was ripe for action and advocated that players participating In the out. side groups be placed tinder suspension.

Chairman Burns explained that while the Q.A.H.A? had taken this attitude hereabouts It bad been found that in other parts of the Dominion affiliated players were being allowed to compete In outside leagues. The question of financial support from the large commercial loops was also brought up, as, beyond a nominal fixture toll and a card fee from planers, they were contributing nothing. In this connection the chairman stated that he had unofficially approached the heads of come of the large local commercial leagues and thought they would be favorable to turning In a percentage of the gate receipts to the 'parent body. He was confident that this could be effected during the coming season. The matter, however, considering, the fast-grow lng proportions of commercial hoc key was fiot one on which snap 'judgment should be passed and the matter was left for the time being to ine incoming executive.

James a. Cameron, president vof the Eherbrooke Junior League, took exception to one item In the tentative financial report which allowed for a disbursement' to cover expenses of the M.A.A.A. team Jour-nylng to Lennoxvllle for the play-down with Btanstead, while titan- stead had received no expenses. lie was asured that the matter would be given just consideration. Honorariums were voted to Leo Burns, retiring presfdent, Frank Morrlsspy, secretary-treasuer, and those connected with the various re gistration, committee.

The amount nature of these were left to the Incoming officers to deoldo. SPRINGFIELD CHAMPIONS Earned Minor League Title in London Series rKnrlnirnoM.

RAIL EARNINGS SLUMPED Big Quarterly Decrease in Britain Due to Strike (Special Cable to the New York Times and Montreal Gazette.) London, April 10. Railway earnings for the first quarter at show a decrease of 835,000 from the same period a year ago. While the pnesent traffic is lower, the results are less unfavorable than appears on the surface. Higher freight rates largely explain a rise In the goods traffic figures, and reduced public spending power, owing to industrial troubles, accounts for the decline in passenger receipts. From May onward, large Increases will be shown owing to comparison with the strike period laet and it Is probably safe to say that last year's receipts constituted the low-water mark of British railway earnings.

Dividends in 1928 had to be paid entirely out of' reserve, But those for the current year should be provided out ot revenues.
