ter was tried and acquitted on a

Adoo. If. on the other hand, it is held
10 have been a loan, as claimed by

CITY ATTORNEY DECLARES
RIGHTS OVERSTEPPED
Corporation Had No Franchise
to Connect Streets

The city attorneys Office informed
the supervisors yesterday that the
United Railroads had no right to con-
meet it's tracks In Post street with
those in Market at the terminus of the
former thoroughfare.
The opinion was asked at the time
the attempt was made by the road TO
intall connection so that the cars
In Post street might be routed TO the
ferry. Long held that such an extern
sion OF the Post street route would be
valuable to the company and to the
city, and that neither the Post street
franchise of the company nor its
various Market street franchises con-
templated anything but main tracks
down the middle Of each street with
the necessary switches and turnouts.
The proposed connection he said did
not fall in the category OF a switch,
but would operate as q genuine exten-
sion OF both roads, and for IL the
granting OF franchise he held a neces-
sary prerequisite.

Nelson dropped In on the president to
congratulate him on his SO mile horse
back ride. He spent several half hours
in Secretary Loeb's room. Loeb and
the Battler are old friends. The Bat
tier met the secretary in Montana.
Nelson thinks considerable OF the
endurance which viii permit q presi-
dent of the United States to so splash
ing over 98 miles of Virginia road in
a binding downpohr of sleet and rain
The Battler told the president how
much he thinks of such stunts, and the
president was aDpreeiative. The presi-
dent told Nelson that he felt fine after
the ride.
Bat came 10 Washington: to protect
his rights as an author.
Nelson believes that Ralph Rose, the
genial shot putter from California
