The only point that Harriman has gained in th battle is that Huntington in holding his stock in the California Northwestern relieves Harriman from purchasing the road, which he would have been compelled to have done as a safeguard to keep some other rival transcontinental road from eventually acquiring the property as an available terminus.

RESIGNATION LOST. “Will you recall your resignation as president of the Southern Pacific Company?” he was asked. “‘Well, possibly that may not be neces- sary,” he replied. “Mr. Harriman says he has not received it, and perhaps no fur Huntington definitely stated that Harri- man did not ever wish to purchase the California Northwestern, and that ing of his holdings would safely guard Harriman's interests in not allowing arty outside party to purchase the road. This is a confirmation of the language of Har- | riman when he recently said have not | purchased * the California Norwest- ern, nor have 1 an option on it, but I have arranged it so that nobody else can get it.” Huntington and Harriman were brought t> a mutual understanding through the offices of W. F. Herrin, who Is closely as- soclated with them both. When peace was declared a general love fest en- called on Mr. Harriman and courtesies were exchanged. Harriman is expected to leave for New York to-morrow. He will go directly East and will visit neither Los Angeles nor Portland, Or. Convict Preacher Acquitted.

Goodwin Will Probably Get the Coveted Place in ADVERTISEMENTS. Washington. —_— Cornelius Tuohy, who has been men- tioned frequently as a candidate for the position of head of the Bureau of Man- ufactures in the new Department of Commerce, was finally forced to drop out of the race yesterday. His cause was lost through the official rejection of his name by the Chamber of Commerce. Eugene Goodwin, director of the commercial mu- building, has things all his own way now and will without doubt secure the coveted appointment. 1t was generally supposed that the mat- ter was settled on February 27 when the commercial bodies joined in recommend- ing Goodwin to President Roosevelt. Tuo- hy, a tea inspector, had been a candidate, but withdrew in favor of his rival. Re- cently he came to the conclusion that he still might have a chance to win the prize and again entered the lists. He worked quietly and but few knew of the change in the aspect of the cam- paign. Several of the leading commercial houses on the coast formally approved of his candidacy and he astonished the of- ficials of the Chamber of Commerce by appearing with a plethoric petition for otficlal indorsement by the organization. When it was discovered that the names of many prominent members were on the list it was decided that a special meeting hould be called to discuss the matter. The chamber had already declared itself | on Goodwin's side and the possibility that | ohy’s friends might outnumber his ri- val's adherents in the special meeting caused something of a stir in commerciai | circles. Senator Perkins, who had been assured by President Roosevelt that a fornia man might be head of the Bu- reau of Manufactures, stated that the po- sition might go to an Eastern man if it should become known that there was dis- sension in the ranks. President George ) whall and the board of directors of the Chamber of Com- merce were In a position where they might be discredited if the vote should go against them. It seemed like a good time for a little lobbying and that some was done might have been observed from the size of yesterday's meeting. The Tuo- hy faction was fn the minority, however, and President Newhall's previous action was officially indorsed It is improbable that there will be any further opposition to Goodwin's candi- dacy. It is planned that he shall meet the President durin the latter’s visit | here next week and that the appointment will then be made certain. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS STREET IMPROVEMENTS | Sets Date for the Final Hearing of | the Proposed Bay Shore Franchise. The Suvervisors' Street Committee yes- terday reported in favor of the petition of property owners in the vicinity of Du- | | boce Park for the improvement of Thir- | | teenth street from Market to Church. | John Lackmanmt -$téeriff, appeared and | | stated that the street suould be improved | and the property liable to be assessed | therefor balongs to the Spring Valley Wa- ter Works. ‘tue committee ordered a res- olution prepared recommending to the Board of Works that the street be im- proved. The committee reported in favor of an ordinance providing for the opening and | extending of Cole street between Sulli-| van and Clark, and of accepting deeds | for necessary lands for the opening o and Twenty-seventh -ve- nues and of Belvedere street from Waller to Haight.

The examination into the alleged crook- ed methods of the executors of the es- | tate of the late Josephine L. Sanford was resumed in the Probate Court yes- terday. Professor George Davidson, one of the executors, and T. G. Davidson, his son, in whose name fow stands the por- tion of the estate claimed by the heirs-at- law of Josephipe Sanford, were the prin- cipal witnesses. The elder Davidson testi- fled that the executors acted in good faith during all the time ‘that the estate was in their charge and said they did not make & move that was not advised by their at- torney, Garret McEnerney. He also said that the property now standing in the name of his son was rightfully the prop- erty of the heirs-at-law, and that the ex- ecutors never intended that they should be deprived of it. Every act of the ex- ecutors, said Davidson, was done solely for the purpose of saving the estate. The examination ot young Davidson was very brief, being interrupted by the adjournment of court. He said also that all of his actions were taken on the ad- vice of his attorney, Mr. McEnerney. At tLis point the case was continued until next Tuesday. —_————————— Says She Was Swindled. Mrs. Estelle Harowitz, 310A Tehama street, secured a warrant from Police Judge Mogan yesterday for the arrest of S. M. Snyder and George Lee of the Con- tinental Brewing Company on the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. She alleges that on September 4 she was induced to buy $100 worth of bonds on the promise that a brewery was to be bullt at Nineteenth and Harrison streets and that most of the bonds had been sold in the East. They were booked on the charge. The case against them on the complaint of Julius Muller, who paid them $1000, is still pending in Judge Mogan's court. ————— Teachers Would Leave Porto Rico.
