CONFESSION OUT
OF THE QUESTION
Counsel of San Francisco Unit
ed Railroads Makes Light
of SIanderOuS Story.
BRIBERY NOT NECESSARY
RIGHTS GRANTED BY UNIVERSAL
DEMAND.

San Francisco, Dec. 2.-Referring to
dispatches appearing in some casts rn
rapers concerning the report that Su-
pervisor Sunderson of san Francisco
had made Z confession of bribery in va
rious matters connected with the board
of supervisors, including the granting
OF the so-called overhead trolley rights
70 the United Railroads, TREY T. Ford.
general counsel of the United Rail-
reads, today said:
Mr.. Sanderson could not have made
any confession respecting bribery in
connection with our overhead trolley
rights. for there was no bribery to con-
fess- These. rights were granted 20 the
United Railroads shortly after the
earthquake and fire in San Francisco.
in response to a universal demand for
the resumption of street railway opera
ZION by the then only means available
which was the overhead trolley.
No Dissenting Voice.
There was not dissenting voice 40
this mode of operation, and the only
question raised in any quarter was
whether these overhead trolley rights
should be temporary or should con-
tinUe during the. life of the cOmuany's
average. little over twenty years.
In view of the heavy expenditures
which the company would be compelled
10 make in TecOnstructing its roads for
overhead trolley operation. running into
millions of dollars, ii positively declined
TO go forward with this work under
such enormous expense unless these
rights were TO continue during the life
Of its several street railway franchises.
The overwhelming sentiment of the
city was in favor of granting the rights
in the manner in which the company
had requested. a small minority only
holding out for temporary permission.
Why Ordinance Was Passed.
These were the conditions and the
causes that led 10 the passage Of the
ordinance under which the United
Railroads proceeded with its overhead
construction and operation.
There was. of course. no bribery or
attempted bribery of ANYBODY. directly
or indirectly, or in any manner or form
Whatsoever. Indeed. the United Rail
reads feels that it nas some cause to
feel justly proud of the part it played
in the reha bilitatfon of San Francisco
and the energy it displayed in the re-
sumption of street car service. Any one
who went through those awful days
following the earthquake and fire will
tell you that the United Railroads was
hailed as one of the saviors of the city.
and that the telegram sent from New
York by the president of the company
directing that the rehabilitation of the
street car lines be proceeded With
promptly and at whatever cost. did
prOba bly, more than any other one thing
TO restore confidence and put heart and
hope in the city's population

Protest Futile.

After the conference former Minister
of the Treasury Fonts Y Sterling. SEN
ator Dolz and other moderates ex-
pressed strong dissatisfaction with the
terms of the decree. which they de-
clared was unfair. but they said they
recognized the futility of any protest.
General Ruis Rivera. formerly secre-
tary of the interior. said tonight to the
Associated Press that he realized the
decree merely carried out an obligation
of interest to the peace commissioners.
but he greatly deplored it, believing It's
effect would be disastrous He said he
was firm in the belief that the only
means Of establishing peaceful cOndi-
tons consist in the election Of an en-
tirely new congress. whereas the pro-
posed election, which would result in
turning over the government TO the lib
eraI control would surely result in y
new instruction the moment the Amer
lean trOOps We're Withdrawn from the
island The fact was. saiG General Ri
vera. that the United States had ig-
nOred this, which was 2atent to all
Cubans and pointed irresistibiy to the
conclusion that if the United States
Withdrew il would be with the full re-
cognitioh of the necessity for a speedy
return and the consequent extinction
Of Cuban independence.

Howell Took Part.

Even Congressman Howell deplored
the arrest of his brethren, and said IF

came 1 would dismiss il at once. -
1sraefsen is county commiSsioner-elect,
and a conviction of the offense would
have disqualified him for the Office.
1t is rumored that the discharged
men will be rearrested on another
charge, based on the same case, but
Parkinson's friends scout such an idea.
They are brazen enough to proclaim
openly that a jury can't be secured here
which will convict them, and hence it
is better for the matter to be allowed
to rest

JUSTICE MAY YET

Rum0r That Brothers IsraeIsen
and Parkinson Will Be
Again Arrested.
Especial to The Herald.D

Logan, Dec. There is anything but
a satisfactory feeling here over the dis
missal of the ballot-removimg cases
against Israelsen and Parkinson. and
the opinion is growing that the whole
proceeding against them was nothing
more nor less than prearranged
cooked-up farce, and the genera! pub

The prosecution against the offenders
was feeble at best, only two witnesses
being called, whereas twenty We're
available. and many of them would
have impeached the evidence given bv
the defendants and placed them in a
most undesirable position. OF course.
politics figured in the case quite large
ly, as nearly every prominent Repub-
lican here had interested himself in the
matter in some way.
