BRYAN DENOUNCES
SULLIVAN AGAIN.
Says He Helped to Rob
Democrats of Illinois
of Political Rights
ACCUSED REPLIES

PARIS, Aug. l3.--William J. Bryan
today gave out a statement concerning
the controversy respecting Roger Sui
-livan, the Illinois Democratic national
committeeman. The controversy has
grown out Of Mr.. BTyans letter de-
nranding the resignation of Sullivan,
10 which demand sullivan returned a
prompt refusal and stated that Mr.
Bryan had been misinformed respect
ing the situation. Mr.. Bryan's re-
joinder says that no one but himself
is responsible for the information. Mr..
Bryan added:

] believed that Roger sullivan ane
John Hopkins had deliberately roooeo

lttical rights, and i stil belleVe thal

by fraud ought TO be as disgracelul IN
the eyes Of the public as 10 secure

ceive of any plausible defense which
Mr.. sullivan can make for remaining
on the national committee. II the BODY
is unable to rid itself OF the leadership
OF men like Sullivan, who seek TO con-
trol the party organization In order
10 advance their corporate interests,
IL might as well dissolve.

for If We must fight 10 purify the party
organization the sooner II begins the
better.
The controversy between Mr.. Bryan
and Sullivan grew out Of a contest for
seats in the National Democratic Con-
vention at St. Louis In 1904, when,
against the protest OF Mr.. Bryan, the
Illinois delegation, led by Hopkins and
Sullivan. was seated.
CHICAGO, Aug. l3.-National Com
mitteeman Sullivan. when interviewed
today as 70 Mr.. Bryan's latest utter
ances, declared there was no truth in
them. He said:
Mr.. Bryan got all his information
from Mr. Dunlap and is doing what
ar. Dunlap wants him TO DO All the
Information he has about the Illinois
SITUATION he has received from Dunlap
and Thompson. He is fighting their
battles.
Sullivan referred to a letter which he
said Mr.. Bryan had written to Ben NJ.
Caldwell Democratic nominee for Con-
gress IN the Twenty first District, in
which letter he said Mr.. Bryan admit
ted that he had received all his infor-
nation from Dunlap.

FAILS TO PRODUCE
ITS FRANCHISES.
Supervisor Says Corpora
tons Neglect Delays
the Union Street Road
CITIZENS ANXIOUS

George A. Newhall president of the
Preside and Ferries Railway Company,
appeared yesterday before the Board OF
SUPERVISORS to urge that action be
taken on the petition for permit TO
electrize the Union street road Super
visor Rea asked that the petition be
heard next Monday, as the people in
the locality are clamoring for trans
portation facilities. Coleman objected
because the company had been called
on by the board to produce it's original
franchises. but it had not done so. 1t is
desired to ascertain the legality of
some of the franchises, and Coleman
said the company was delaying the re-
construction of the road by not sub
nitting its franchises for examination.
1t was moved that the matter be re-
ferred to the judiciary committee to
pass on the legality of the franchises.
as the copies that were in possession of
the city had been burned. Coleman
said 1T would be impossible to pass on
the franchises If they were not pro-
duced 1t was finally decided to in
struct the committee as 10 what It
should do, but 1T will submit some sort
of report next Monday.
The amended ordinance providing for
a grant to the Ocean Shore Railway
Company to construct and operate a
branch electric line to connect with the
main line and terminating at Twelfth
and Market streets was passed to print.
The amendment will permit the COM
pany to place ornamental iron poles for
the system in the center of Potrero
avenue. The company has agreed to
install lights on the poles as soon as 1t
is financially able to do so.
The board passed to print an amend
fnent to the chimney inspection ordi-
nance providing that no fee shall be
charged for inspecting fues used solely
for gas CRATES. Supervisor Boxton
criticised the imposition of 81 fee for
each f1ue In a chimney, he holding that
the fee should be 81 for all fues in the
chimney. Bcxton created a laugh when
he said he had been charged a fee OF
So for three fiues, but had not paid it.
Chairman Gallagher stated that the
Board of Works Will be called on for a
statement OF the number of chimneys
inspected and the total amount received
Tor fees.
The joint committee on finance and
streets filed with the board transcript
OF the testimony in the hearing rela-
tive to the statement made by George
Renner that Attorney Gallagher had
taken fee of $1,000 to put through q
spur track permit. The committee in
its report recommends that the matter
be declared closed, in view of the fact
that Renner had testified that he had
heard the runlor from some one who
hac heard 1t from somebody else" and
had apologized TO Supervisor Gallagher,
who happens to be an attorney. The
report also says that there was no
foundation for Renners statement.

RENO, New, Aug. 13.--where is To-

the officials OF Nye and Esmeralda
counties are quarreling. Both counties
claim the land upon which the thriving
mining town is located. Three surveys
of the boundary line of the counties
have been made and none of the surveys
check by several chains. Consequently,
the exact location of the camp is still
undetermined.
The County Commissioners Of Es-

bids from civil engineers to make an
other survey in the hope that it will
check with one of the previous meas
urements.
