CONGRESS MAY
SETTLE DISPUTE
Counties Bridge Controversy
With S. P. to Go Before
National Tribunal
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

SACRAMENTO. Feb. 14.-Congress
may be asked to take a hand in the
controversy between Sacramento and
Yolo counties and the Southern Pacific
regarding the proposed steel bridge
across the Sacramento at this point to
take the place of the wooden struc-
ture now used Jointly by the railroad
and the counties.
1t has just been discovered that an
old act OF congress provides that rail
road bridges across navigable streams
can not be used exclusively by one
railroad, but must be operated for the
benefit of every road desiring its use.
Ii is now proposed that the Southern
Pacific be asked to permit the North
ern electric, Vallejo and Northern and
other electric lines to use the bridge,
thus making the cost to the counties
much less for construction of the over
head portion and at the same time do
ing away with the necessity of another
bridge at this point as petitioned for
by the Northern electric and the Val
lejo and Northern.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-B. S. Osbon,
secretary of the Arctic club of America,
has written a letter to the subcom-
mittee of the house naval committee
approving the latters action in voting
down the proposition to make Peary a
rear admiral, in which he says:
ITO have given this selfish egotist,
this braggart, the rank of rear admiral
would be a foul blot on the records of
congress and an insult to the navy OF
the United States.
1t would have disguised millions of
our citizens who have no confidence in
this alleged pole hunter and arctic fur
trader and story teller, who for nearly
a quarter of a century has been living
off the people and sailing under naval
rank to which he had no legal right
He should have been severely repri-
manded by the navy department long

sAYs MEETING WIS AUTHORIZED


Theodore J. Savage, Colonel Dorn's
law partner. declared that the meeting
was an official authorized gathering,
and explained why the one called Sat
urday by MacNevin was not.
The association was entirely reor-
ganized after the election" he said.
In the first place it was built up to
promote Mayor McCarthy's campaign
and had about 400 members. Then we
met at the Palace hotel and decided to
continue it as a social organization,
with a membership fee of S. and
monthly dues of 81 per member. The
idea was to have a social club and to
stand behind Mayor Mccarthy and to
become boosters.
The Metropolitan athletic club is a
different thing. Clark and Blot, who
are nice clean boys, wanted to form
that club, and in organizing it they
named certain stock holders and also
associate members. They invited all
members of the P. H. Mccarthy Bust
nessmen's association to become asso-
ciate members. That is all there is to
it. AS members of the association we
have the privilege of becoming mem
bers of the Metropolitan athletic club
or not just as we please individually"
The MacNevin faction, however, does
not like the idea of combining politics
with athletics, nor it is at all enthus-
iastic over the scheme of the reor-
gained p H. Mccarthy Businessmen's
association to lure the Jeffries-John-
son prize fight and other Industrial
enterprises" to San Francisco.
