CIVIC LEAGUE DOES
NOT FAVOR PERMIT
Opposes Concession to United
Railroads Unless City's
Rights Are Protected

Although strenuous efforts were made
last night to commit the civic league
to the support of the United Railroads
In the present controversy over the
Sutter line tracks I'm Market street, the
organization failed to indorse the pro-
posaI and passed N resolution favor
ing the permit only on the condition
that the supervisors could grant 1T
without sacrificing any of the rights
and privilege of the city. The dis
cussion of the subject led to lively
debate and 1t was nearly midnight
when a vote was reached. The only
dissenting member was Wallace Wise
of the Richmond Improvement club,
whose organization had taken strong
stand for an adequate service in Geary
street
Tho subject was introduced by DR..
Julius Rosenstirn. who argued that the
permit should be granted. He was sup
ported by W. S. Williams, ]. w. Ginty
and ]. w. Felt. The opposition was
led by Walter Macarthur, who was
supported by George Hurlburt, Wallace
Wise and George Renner.
Macarthur denounced the United
Railroads in strong terms, stating that
the proceedings as proposed would
amount to a surrender by the city.
"A fight settled by surrender" said
Macarthur, lis very difficult fight to
reopen on a satisfactory basis"
Hurlburt stated that the club had
aritated the Sutter street matter until
II had been looked upon in some quar-
ters as an adjunct of the United Rail-
roads.
The amended resolution as then pre-
sented was carried.
The session of the league was held
In sherman and Clay hall and was at
tended by so delegates Reports re-
ceiyed brought the information that the
city had never been healthier than at
present.
Renner spoke in complimentary terms
Of the street work done under Super
tntendent Broderick and expressed the
hope that the city would not lose his
services under the civil service rulings.

Fictitious Check

c. G. H. MacBride, a wealthy San
Jose society leader and clubman. and
one of the managers OF the extensive
Lux estate. Is In the shadow Of the
strong arm Of the law, charged by c.
A Lee, a well known attorney in this

The complaint was issued yesterday

and the hunt for MacBride began
MacBride and his wife, formerly
Miss Lena Lux. daughter of the late
pioneer cattleman and business asso-
ciate OF Henry Miller, arrived at the
their big auto, from San Jose. When
officers visited the st. Francis yester-
day afternoon in search OF MacBride

The accusation made by Lee charges
MacBride with having soned ncti}
tious check for $125 to the attorneys s
order. and drawn on the Bank Of San
jose Lee says the check was returned

and protested"
The MacBrides are leaders OF the
social set in San Jose, where they
have made their home for several
years. They are well known In this
city. A number OF intimate acquaint-
ances ventured thS assertion that 1t
was all q mistake, and evidently an
oversight. However. Lees attitude Is
different. and he vigorously declared
that he viii press the action, and that
MacBride had on several former oeca-
sions attempted to pay something on
