S. his naval aid, the President arrived here under the convoy of a squadron of Secret Service men at about 4 o'clock and spent more than an hour at Piping Rock. The trip had been pre-arranged, but comparatively few of those at the Country Club knew of visit, and the result was that for some time the other visitors to the club yesterday afternoon were ignorance of the fact that the gray thin, rather drooping man whose face still looked familiar was the President.

When he was recognized, there were many golf games broken up because of the anxiety of the caddies to see the President. President Wilson had expected to play over the links, but ones time was found too short as he had an engagement for the early evening. Aocompanied by Colonel House, Mr. Auchincloss and Grayson, the President took a stroll over half the course, however, and paid many compliments to it and to the beauty of the country. Many precautions were taken by the Secret Service men who accompanied the President to safeguard him.

"Jimmy'" Sloan and William J. Flynn, of the Secret Service force, were with him at all times and they kept everybody at a safe distance. When the the President and his party left, Secret Service men prevented those who would from following in automobiles, and all the way into Manhattan other cars whose owners wished to approach were warned back. The start back to the city was made a little after 5 o'clock, the President and his party visiting the clubhouse, after their stroll over the links, for the party rode through 3 Mineola and tea. On the way back to New York record Jamaica, making a fairly high speed in their endeavor to get home before the threatening storm broke.

It is believed here that the President's next visit to New York will see him try a round over the links, which the lateness of his arrival prevented yesterday. His comments on the beautiful surroundings and the excellence of the course seemed to indicate 8 genuine regret that he could not stay longer and his face was brighter and bappler while here than it was during all the rest of the day.

May 12-One Long Island boy is seeing some active service in Mexico these days and not only has had a part in the stirring events at Vera Cruz, the taking of the city and the San Juan prison, but will probably see greater service should hostilities be resumed there between the United States and the Mexicans. He is William S.

Young Mr. Burns is on the battleship North Dakota at Vera Cruz, is one of the marines who held the city against the Mexicans.

In a letter which has just been received from him by his mother here, Mr. Burns depicts the state of affairs in Vera Cruz, although briefly touching on the things which would seem terrifying to one who has had less experience in warfare than him. His letter, dated May 3, and just received, says: "Dear Mother -Received your loving letter. I did not receive it until we returned from the front. Believe me, this is some war.

We have had 1 a little fighting, mostly skirmishes. You know it is pretty easy to fight when the other fellow is on the run. These people here are worse than the Filipinos. They can shoot to hit. We lost only 39 out of a 3,000.

It isn't bad, is it? The army lost that many the first night that they took charge. We are sending the dead back today on board the Montana. We are the candy kids here (the sailors). The natives are not afraid of the soldiers. We received orders yesterday to land again, SO we are standing by to go now.

It was absolutely peaceful when we turned the city over to the Army. There was not a Mexican soldier in twenty miles. The Mexicans jumped the pumping station for the reservoir that supplies the city with water yesterday. But the soldiers retook don't know how long we will be down here, and I guess nobody else does. It is good and hot down here, anyway.

And while the Mexicans hate us, they certainly do respect the rifle. Hoping this finds everybody well and happy, as I am. I will write as often as pos-. ON WILLIAM 'S. BURNS.

Furman, until he whose appetite it was to appease could do another errand. While Furman wasn't looking, one "found" the steak. It never reached Russell's home. Russell jumped up (remember he had gone to bed) and called Furman on the telephone, who said that he had supposed 'the owner had taken it. "Not yet, but I returned Russell, and he set out.

He banged at every front door in slumbering Blue Point, and inquired for his steak. In one kitchen he foally saw a dim light burning. He took place by and Russell made for the storm. The solitary feaster, gave up, porterhouse. TO CLEAN UP LYNBROOK Friday Selected to Make Village Spick and Span.

At a recent meeting the members voted unanimously to authorize him to employ counsel in the taxpayers suit brought against him and Town Superintendent of Highways John S.

Burke.

No charge made by the taxpayers who have brought the action that the money was not actually spent on the roads. Superintendent's Burke's failure to appoint a member of' the Progressive party as Deputy Superintendent of Highways is given 88 the reason for the suit. The plaintiffs in the action are prominent members of the "Bull Moose" organization and James La Dowsey, their counsel, was one of the organizers of the new political party in the county.

The suit against Supervisor Cocks and Town Superintendent Burke has done more to unite the factions of the Democratic party in the Town of Oyster Bay than any event that has happened in that town for a long time. Justice of the Peace Joseph Steinert of Hicksville and Town Clerk Charles Weeks, the two members of the Town Board who are allied with Senator Thomas H. O'Keefe voted immediately to authorize the supervisor to employ counsel to defend the action.

CLERK'S BUILDING HELD UP No Money to Pay Architect for Extra Work.

The $100,000 reconstruction job of the Queens County Clerk's office at Jamaica, including the fire proofing and nietal furniture needed for the protection of the county records, is held up because of refusal of Controller Pendergast to authorize John W. Baker, the architect, to furnish the city a second plan for the work at a cost of $700. This plan was rendered necessary because of the inability of the city to get possession of four feet of ground on the westerly side of the structure over which Queens County in 1855 gave a perpetual right of way to adjacent property owners. These property owners now refuse to surrender the easement over this strip although they have been offered $2,000 for it. The original plans for the building were drawn to cover the whole plot.

The refusal of adjacent property owners to surrender their right of way over the city property has compelled a change of plans. The matter of the legality of the extra architect bill is now being looked up by the Corporation Counsel and an early opinion is looked for. The contractors have agreed to do the work under amended plans as proposed for the same price. The Controller says that his original agreement with the architect a and contractors will admit of no increase in the amount be paid under the appropriation, to either the architect or contractor.

REPORT ON PROGRESS OF HELL GATE BRIDGE Willis and Howe Inspect Great Span of New York Connecting R. R. WILL BE LARGEST IN WORLD. Boom Already Felt in Queens on count of Connection With Great Railroad Systems, Walter I. Willis, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of the Borough of Queens, and F.

Ray Howe, secretary of the Queensboro Corporation, recently accompanied about thirty-five members of the Princeton Engineering Association on a special trip of Inspection of the progress in the work of constructing the New York Connecting Railroad. The trip was made under the guidance of H. W. Hudson, engineer-in-charge this work, and Ralph Peters, president of the Long Island Railroad. The mammoth bridge across Hell Gate, and its approaches, will be three miles long and will connect the New York, New Haven and Hartford and Pennsylvania Railroad systems.

The bridge itself will be the largest of its kind in the world and is estimated to cost $18,000,000 to complete. It will require 100,000 tons of structural steel. There will be three great spans -the first will connect Long Island City and Ward's Island; the second, Ward's Island and Randall's Island; and the third, Randall's Island and the Bronx. The span crossing from Long Island City to Ward's Island will be known as the Hell Gate Bridge. Two big steel arches, 3,000 feet in length, will support the deck.

These will rise to a height of 300 feet above the water. The deck will be 140 feet above the river. Mr. Willis and Mr. Howe have made the following report on this trip: "Our inspection began at the point where 138th street is intersected by the Harlem Division of the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad, in the Bronx.

Here the tremendous viaduct begins and crosses Bronx Kills. A temporary bridge has been constructed across the Kills and at this point the finished foundations could be seen in the river. Here caissons are being sunk in the bed of the river by the pneumatic process. One caisson has been sunk 105 feet, and the air pressure required was sO great that men could only work three-quarters of an hour at a time with five hours interval of rest. Granite Bases to Withstand Currents.

"The party walked across Randall's Island, where piers 50 feet to 75 feet in height have been constructed, of solid concrete. The spacing of these piers is 80 feet apart. At Little Hell Gate, which separates Randall's Island from Ward's Island, piers are being built with granite bases to withstand the strong rush of the tide at this narrow point. "At Ward's Island a number of enormous concrete arches ranging in height from 75 feet to 100 feet have been built. On the shore of Ward's Island, opposite Hell Gate, the immense foundation for the westerly tower of the Hell Gate bridge is rapidly progressing.

(This foundation is about 125 feet square and is supported by eighteen caissons sunk to over 100 feet to solid rock. At this point the party took launches and crossed Hell Gate, which is about 1,000 feet wide, to the Long Island Ci.y shore, where the tower on the Queens side has now reached a level of about 60 feet above the surface. The contractors have erected a temporary tower over 150 feet high on this foundation, on top of which are derricks for handling the immense blocks of concrete. From the top of the tower a magnificent panoramic view of the entire city and surrounding country is obtained.
