CITS NOW AFTER FOLEY. Call His Election Law Amendment "as Pernicious as It Is Plausible." Sheepshead Bay has heard that Winsor McKay, a cartoonist, and his wife had separated and that the artist was to' sue William Muir, the horseman, for alienation of his wife's affections. The McKays live in East Eighteenth street, near Voorhees avenue. They have two children, a little girl and "Bob," eleven, original of "Little Nemo." The Muirs have a cottage on Neck road. They have no children.

"There is no truth that report," said McKay. "I have not separated from my wife, nor have I any idea of suing Muir for alienation. "All there is to the whole story is this: Some nights ago I went home and found Muir at the house. I slapped the fellow's face and ordered him out. -I have been told he was acting as Mrs.

MeKay's racing commissioner. Too much money, I thought, was bet on the a horses. "I didn't hire anybody to black up and assault Muir after he left our home. I don't believe anybody attacked him. Mrs.

The bill proposes that inspector's of election. poll clerks and ballot clerks. be appointed to serve in every case in the district in which the appointee lives.

The present law permits them to serve anywhere in the county. The effect of this amendment in New York City, where both the enter Republican and Democartic organizations are in control of the political leaders, would be threatening to the fairness of the count. There is one district in New York County in which it is considered necessary to send inspectors from all parts of the county in order to insure a fair count."

Andrew MeC. Parker, of the ParkerRran Construction Company, which is building the Manbattan Bridge, said resterday that the stringing of the four twenty-one-inch cables would begin on March 1, and would be finished in twelve months. A remarkable feature of the steel constrnction of the new bridge is the fact that the saddles on the towers over which the four cables will hang will he stationarv. On the stone towers of the Brooklyn Bridge the saddlers ate 011 rollers. Contraction, expansion and traffic weight on the bridge will cause the new towers 10 move one way or the other from a perpendicular a distance of between five and six feet.

The ductility of the steel makes it unnecessary for the saddles to be placed on rollers. Another noteworthy feature of the bridge constriction is that several thousands of tons of steel castings, made at Chester. are being shipped to Stonington Island, near Bar Harbor, on the Maine coast. where the Ryan-Parker company has a large plant for finishing. The castings are sent by schooner to be machine finished, and then are shipped to New York.
