TANNERIES MAY FORM COMBINE Dealers in Hides Assert That a Trust Is Planned. Several Leading Firms Are Declared to Favor the Project. S Small dealers In hides in San Francisco and neighboring cities are busily engaged in discussing an alleged combination of It is asserted that the promoters of the enter- prise intend to force vendors to-accept a considerably lower price for hides than at present prevails} It is alleged further that the projected trust has for its aim | the creation of a monopoly in leather in the section of the country west of the Rockies. The claim is made by interested par- ties that three-fourths of all the tanners California have entered into the com- nation. The remaining independent es- tablishments are expected to join the ma- jority when the scheme is made known them. Those who are opposing the nored movement state that the plan is to have the commission house of Bis- singer & Co. do all the buying from the hides. It is pointed out that if one firm handles the whole coast output the sell- ers will have to take just what they are offered, Th astern market is at such a dis- tance and the transportation charges are | high that the possibility of profitable production for tanneries beyond the plains decidedly remote, as far as the Pacific Coast cattlemen ar cerned. It is al- leged that Bissinger & Co. hold stock in three of the tanneries which have joined the so-called trust.

VALUABLE LEASE CAUSES CONTEST Creditors of C. H. Hill After Pabst Cafe Property. Sale Epjoined by De Haven on Petition of Loverich and Brown. ———— An injunction, issued by Judge de Haven of the United States District Court, prevented the United States Mar- shals from selling the five-year lease on the Pabst Cafe, corner of Powell and Ellis streets, yestérday morning. The in- junction was {ssued on the petition of Attorney Henry. McPike, repre- senting Sam Loverich and Anthony Brown of the Palm Concert Company. Both of the former contend that they are in no way lable to the creditors, who are forcing the sale; that they acquired the lease in good falth and that they were not informed of any indebtedness when they and formed their corporation. About September, 1901, the Pdbst Brew- ing Company, through its agent, W. New- man, leased to C. H. Hill the property known as the Pabst Cafe and saloon for a period of five years. Hill spent consider- able money in improvements and stock and in December of that year found him- self financially embarrassed. He owed considerable money and on December 20 Newman sued for $1750 and levied an at- tachment on the leasehold interest. Hiil called Sam Loverich and Anthony Brown to his assistance, and, according to their contention, represented that he owed but $1954 for rent and did not mention the previous attachment levied by Newman. A corporation was formed and Hill glven a one-fourth interest in constdera- tion of the transfer of property and lease- hold interest. Loverich and -Brown pur- chased sufficient stock in the corporation to pay the indebtedness of $1954 and .be- lieved themselves free from all obliga- tions. On January 20 Newman, who had trans- ferred his claim against Hill to a col- lection agency, with two other creditors, petitioned in the United States Court to have Hill declared a bankrupt. Hill re- sented the interference by Newman in the bankruptcy court and was about to pro- cure a dismissal of the petition when Newman called to his assistance other creditors in supplemental proceedings and the case in bankruptcy went on. The Palm Concert Company, or the corporation formed by Loverich and Brown, continued its business uncon- scious of any danger until about ten days ago, when, for the first time, it was learned that an attachment suit had been commenced and their lease attached. It was discovered that Newman, through the collection agency, had succeeded In procuring an order from Judge de Haven allowing the collection agency to proceed to judgment. It was also learned that they were not only proceeding to judg- ment, but were proceeding to sell, under | a writ of execution, the leasehold inter- est. A verified petition was filed befor the court Wednesday afternoon and after setting up the facts that the United States Marshal was proceeding to sell, Judge de Haven issued the restraining or- der. Attorney McPike claims that a joker had been inserted in the papers, which Judge de Haven promptly knocked out. Loverich and Brown say they have pald for their goods and rent promptly since | coming into possession of the premises and that they are victims of a plot on the part of previous creditors to secure what is considered an excellent lease. They purchased in good faith and will make a strong fight to remain in their business until the lease expires. low in Full Blast Is the great shoe sale.

The Supervisors’ Street Committee re- ported yesterday in favor of the recom- mendation of the Board of Public Works that Fifth avenue be opened from its north end to the southerly line of the Pre- sldio military reservation. The fmprove- ment will cost $6500 and the expense will be borne by the district benefited. The committee requested the City En- gineer to define a line outside of which it is expedient to lay two inches of bitumen on streets, instead of two and a half inches as. the specifications now provide, and to present an amendatory ordinance thereon. The application of Henry E. Bothin to operate a line of automobiles on Van Ness avenue was denled, as the City Attorney advises that there is no occasion for granting such a franchise. The committes decided to readvertise the resolution of Intention to change grades on Polk street, the original resolu- tion having proven defective. Grades were ordered established at points on Parnas- sus and Thirty-elghth avenues. Consideration of the 'petition of the Western Pacific Railway Company for a franchise for a steam road within the city limits was postponed one week, —_—— PUPILS OF WILMERDING SCHOOL HOLD A DEBATE Milton Clark Is Awarded Medal by the Judges for His Superior Speech. The Wilmerding Debating Club held a public debate Wednesday afternoon at the ‘Wilmerding School of Industrial Arts, Charles Hollmann presiding.

MI‘: Grey, BHIWIH’S TROCHES of | | minus of The outcome of this conference is being | EUREKA ROADG REPORTED 5000 Santa Fe Said to Have Effected Northern Purchase. California Northwestern Is Also Concerned in the Deal. Following closely on the dispatch pub- lished a week ago in The Call that partles were negotiating for the purchase of the Eureka and Eel River Railroad, the California and Northern road and its extension, commonly known as the Mid- land, all tributary to Eureka, comes the information that a deal has actually been effected ang the roads will soon be con- solidated der control of parties who are supposed to be acting for the Santa Fe Company. The information received last night came from a most reliable source to a well known Chicago financier, at present stopping at the Palace. It is to the effect that the deal has not only been made, but that the same parties have had surveyors looking over the ground south of the present lower ter- the Midland with a view to mapping out a line for a further exten- sion of the Midland to Willits, where con- nection can be made with the California and Northwestern road and whereby a direct coast route from Crescent City to the Bay of San Francisco can be se- cured. For several months reports have been persistently circulated to the effect that the Santa Fe was negotlating for the pur- chase of the California and Northwestern road, but A. W. Foster, president of the latter, has repeatedly denied that a sale had been made, although he was not In- clined to discuss the possibility of one taking place In the near future. The Call is in possession of information that cannot be refuted, to the effect that aoout fourteen months ago a well known broker of New York made a flying trip to San Francisco and engaged parties to ex- amine the California and Northwestern road and to interview stockholders of the San Francisco and North Pacjfic Coast road, which is leased to the Foster com- pany, relative to their disposition to agree to sell their interests should President Foster and his associates be willing to transfer the stock in their company. This broker is a close friend of Vice President Paul Morton of the Santa I'e and while here he was continually m communication with the railroad man. Ever since then reports have been afloat that the Santa Fe was dickering for the California and Northwestern. The latest report, which comes from such a reliable source, simply supports the long entertained suspicion that the Santa Fe is endeavoring to reach the Northwest by way of the California coast. The Eel River and Eureka road runs south from Eureka, Humboldt Coun- ty, for a distance of twenty-elght miles, when it connects with the miles of road of the Midland. Between the terminus of the latter road and the town of Wil- lits is a distance of 160 miles, which would have to be tunneled and ralled before a continuous route could be obtained to Eureka. The California Northern is a small road running north from Eureka to Crescent City, a distance of nine miles, which, if made part of the reported deal would be the terminus of the suggested coast route from Tiburon. It is only a few days ago that a com- pany organized in the East secured con- trol of the roads mentioned and imme- diately proceeded to consolidate them, announcing that the intention was to ex- tend the roads south, but denying that the company was acting for the Santa Fe or any ‘other transcontinental road. It has been known for some time that the Santa Fe officlals were anxlous to get into Eureka and if last night's reported deal is correct the company has finally found a way. DESERTION IS CHARGED IN DIVORCE COMPLAINT Maud Sloan Woods Alleges That | Her Husband Has Abandoned Her. A complaint for divorce filed yesterday by Maud Sloan Woods against Harry F. Woods, secretary of the Frank H. Woods trust, with offices at 508 California street, reveals the fact that their domestic life has not been a happy one. The com- plaint does not go into the details of their domestic infelicities, Mrs. Woods simply asking for a divorce on the ground of desertion. She also asks for the custody of their two children, allmony and such other rellef as the court may see fit to grant. They were married in March, 1889, and reside at 913 Pine street. The alleged desertion occurred, alleges Mrs. Woods, more than a year prior to the commencement of the action. No cause nor reason is given for the alleged abandonment, and Lloyd & Wood, at- torneys for Mrs. Woods, refuse to dis- cuss the case. A suit for divorce on the ground of de- sertion was also filled by Julla Ann Bettys agalnst Lafayette Bettys, a wealthy oil and mine operator. Mrs. Bettys resides at $§7 Fulton street with their one child and Bettys is in Wyoming. Divorces were granted yesterday to Bertha Bequette from Julian P. Bequette for cruelty, Grace I. Well from A. B. Well for infidelity and Ruby Florence Luce Hayden from Charles E. Hayden for cruelty. ————— ‘WILL DELIVER LECTURE ON CALIFORNIA PETROLEUM Paul W.
