SENATOR CLARK. IN 1T
Story of Los Angeles Street Railway
Franchise-How the So. Pa
cifc Is Concerned.
the Teachers Club. :.

Los Angeles, CAL, April 9.-The Times
says: 1t was accepted as a fact yesterday
that Senator William A. Clark of Mon
tana is representing the Southern Pacific
in the application for the celebrated
"blanket" franchise for an eighty-two-
mile street railway system in Los Angeles.
Any doubt that might have existed Is
dispelled by the discovery of the holding
of midnight meeting Of quartet OF
men who cemented the bond between the
Southern Pacific and Mr.. Garland, who
acts as agent for the franchise applicants.
This meeting was held at the office Of
Clarence Miller, attorney in the Brysor
block, and those present were w. F. Her
rim general counsel for the Southern Pa
cific; Walter FIX. Parker political agen
for that company; William M. Garland
and Clarencea Miller. J. -.
AtstEis sIneetinEa was born the plan thai
seems destined to wreck the policy o'
the transportation family and which al
ready has caused Henry E. Huntington
to sever his official relation with the
Southern Pacific company. Mr.. Hunting
ton has been for g. long time director ant
vice president Of the Southern Pacific
but the attack of the corporation upon hi
interests makes it impossible for him t.
continue. If he has not already resigned
he will do so. 49, ,.-.
This news comes from headquarters. 1
marks an episode of national importance
in railroading-the passing of the sue
cessor of q. P. Huntington, one Of tn
founders Of the corporation, from tn
board. ..l.' . ~ a,.-5t;g .". -
