ground that it would greatly aid the

1t is stated that the release of Stef-
fens and wynran was requested for
two reasons. The men are wanted as
witnesses if tIs graft investigation
and will be able to throw flood OF
light on matters which are shortly
TO come before the Grand Jury The
second reason advanced for the re-
quest of, Heney. Burns and Spreckels
is the fulfillment of a promise made to
Frank Maestretti in return for valuable
facts which he has supplied to the in
ovestigators.
Wyman and Steffens were Maestret-
tfs handy men in San Francisco poll
tics before they were sent to San
Quentin When Maestretti. following g
his quarrel with Ruef and Schmitz,
gave to Burns all the information he
possessed as to the existence of graft
in the city government, he asked but
one favor in return, and that was that
effort be made to secure pardons for
Wyman and Steffens.
In the prompt action of the Governor
is evinced his desire to aid the San
Francisco investigation. This he can
do with a certain element OF personal
pleasure. for it was not many months
ago that Ruef assisted in euchering
Pardee out of a renomination-
Speaking to a. Call reporter at the
prison yesterday, Wyman said that he
had heard he was to be paroled. The
pardon came in the nature of a sur
prise. He stated that he expected to go
before the Grand Jury and would tell
all he knew bearing on graft in San
Francisco.
A dispatch to The Cali from Sacra- :
mento quotes J. A. Elston, the private
secretary to the Governor. as saying
Governor Pardee has taken this ster
only upon the best of assurances from
Heney, Burns and Spreckels that the
release of Wyman and Steffens would
tend greatly toward helping them in
what they termed the administration
OF justice. He did not force them to go
into details and was content to take
their word for it.

amendments to the Southern Pacifc's
original applications by which the
tracks in East Oakland shall be open to
all railroads doing business in this city
and county.
The amendments provide first that
the railroad operating the industrial"
tracks agrees to construct connecting
sidetracks to abutting property where
desired and maintain open" tracks.
1t Is also provided that the tracks
for which the franchises are granted
shall be operated Exclusively as belt
line to switch freight snd passenger
cars to arf from the w ar front and
Industries along and adjacent TO the
line OF the road" Violation of any of
the terms of the franchises gives right

The Western Pacific Railways appli-
cations for franchises along the south
ern harbor front and out Wood street
were referred to the committee of the
whole to be taken up December 10,
with the Santa F'e's applications.
The-Santa Fe applied today for a
second franchise from the City Council
to connect its tracks at Emeryville with
its proposed route into Oakland by way
of Wood street to Twentieth and Union
streets. The new application calls for
a track from the northern boundary of
the city at Emeryville, across the Key
Route subway. through Center street
to Gladding and connecting at the
north end of Wood street. Thence the
line follows the route of the appli-
cation filed Wednesday south on Wood
to Twentieth and east on Twentieth to

Official Charged
With Perjury

The Grand Jury returned indict-
ments yesterday against Chief of
Police J. F. Dinan and Abraham
Ruef. Oman and Ruef are
charged jointly with having con-
spired to protect notorious house
at TIP Pacific street. The accu-
sation states that Ruef received
from Dick Creighton, one of the
owners of the resort, $3.50 in three
weekly installments. In a sepa-
rate Indictment Dinan is accused
of having committed perjury in
his testimony before the Grand
jury. The perjury charge rests
on the statement OF Dinan that he
failed to close the house at 712 Pa
cihc street because he learned of it's
existence only a week ago. and his
further statement that he did not. order
the disreputable house at $50 Jackson
street closed because Father caraher
told him 1t was not in his parish and
that he had no objection to it. On
the evidence Of the priest. Captain OF
Police ]. B. Martin and Patrolman j. B.
Hurd the indictment was voted against
Dinan. 1t was shown that the priest
had made formal complaint against the
places and that reports of their exist
