S. P. REPRESENTATIVES
NOT At BRIDGE MEETING
Railroads Request to Change the
Type of Channel Span
Meets Opposition

At the meeting held yesterday by
Captain w. P. Stokey, acting United
States engineer, at which the Southern
Pacifics request for permission to sub
stitute another type of drawbridge for
the one agreed on with the city au-
thorites to cross the channel leading
into the west basin of the harbor was
discussed, no Southern Pacific repre-
sentatives were present The hearing
was continued until 10 o'clock Saturday
morning to give the railroad company
an opportunity to explain why III de-
sires a change. -
Unless good reason is given by the
Southern Pacific for the change the
war department may refuse the option.
A. p. Fleming, secretary of The har-
bor commission; George Fl. Stewart,
representing the commerce committee;
A. c. Bird and ]. w. Oakley of the Los
Angeles Harbor company, were present
at the meeting yesterday and particl-
pated in the discussions
The chief opposition to the Southern
Pacific's request Is that the rolling type
will permit any vessel, no matter what
it's size, to pass into the west basin,
whereas the direct lift bridge, wanted
by the railroad, would limit vessels de-
string to enter the west BASIN
Mr. Bird said that a double leaf roll
ing bridge obviates any danger of a
car running into an open draw, while
with the other kind of bridge auto
matte derailing switches would have to
be installed to prevent accident
Bird and Fleming were desirous that
no handicap be placed on the commerce
of the harbor. Bird laid stress on the
point that there are few of the lift
bridges in the harbors of the United
States, and that in almost every in
stance the other type of bridge is in
sisted upon.
Mr.. Fleming called attention to the
fact that the railways have created an
artificial barrier across the west basin,
barring it from bigger shipping.

new ORGANIZATION
FOR THE FRANKLIN
Factory Selling Concern Will
Take Charge of Business
on This Coast

The Franklin automobile company
will take over the control of the Pa
cif1c coast from the H H Franklin
manufacturing company tomorrow, the
former corporation being the sales dis
tributors as it is in several other sec
tions of the United States. 1t is a
separate and distinct organization from
the II. H. Franklin manufacturing COM
pany, being headed by II. II. Franklin,
president; G. w StfllwelI, vice .presi-
dent, and John Wilkinson, chief en-
gineer.
This company formerly controlled
only northern California, but will now
handle the territory west of the Rocky
mountains, and also Utah. This change
will not affect, however, the agents for
1910, as they will, instead of dealing
with the Syracuse office, now deal with
the San Francisco office, of which J. f.
McLain is the head as district man
ager.
The Franklin scheme of handling the
output by separate organization is one
which is being followed by other big
manufacturers in part, the idea being
to have in different sections of the
United States repositories where stock
can be had by local agents on short
notice, and short hauls by the rail-
road. The local house will also carry
a most complete stock of parts for this
territory.

Speaking of the matter, Darnau
said: 4 have given this matter much
thought and thoroughly investigated

best qualified of local concerns to look
after the Black Crows interest in this
section of the state

Consolidated vehicle company says:
I'VE consider the Black Grow an ex-

pleased to secure the privilege of rep
