reed Denies HE
WAS FORCED OUT
Resigned Voluntarily From Rey-
nOIds Transmission COm=
pany, Says Attorney
Asserts He Could No Longer
COnscientiously Remain
With Concern

Charles Wesley Reed stated yester-
day that he and his fellow directors in
the Reynolds transmission company
voluntarily resigned from the corpo-
ration. because they could not consci-
entiously be associated with 1T any
longer and that the claims of the other
faction in the concern that they were
forced out were Misrepresentation.
Reed controlled majority of the
stock in the corporation and could
have voted it. he said, but wished to be
free of the corporation. He stated that
he called the meeting. which was heid
in the Pacific building on Monday
night, for the purpose of offering his
resi- gnation.
Reed asserted that he did not trans
fer the stock of E. Y. Graham to him.
self as trustee, but that it was trans
ferred to his name, as trustee, by j. T.
White, Graham's partner, who held
power of attorney from Graham
Concerning the trouble in the COM
| pany Reed said yesterday:
M. A. Nurse. B. c. Van Emon and
| f. II. Hood served with me as directors.
| We were elected in January and re-
served the right to withdraw If we
were not satisfied with the conditions
as we found them. J. T. White, one of
the heaviest stock holders. was the fifth
| director. Control of the corporation
! was transferred TO me in trust to guar
| antee our tenure of Office Five thou
| sand shares of stock were given to
each of us by the stock holders and
100000 shares in addition were offered
! to us to continue. | and my friends re-
| signed from the company because we
could not recommend its stock to the
! public
| Our report at the meeting on Mon
| day night was made to the minority
stock holders, who furnished the money
| to keep the corporation going, and was
! to the effect that the invention had not
| been properly patented and that there
was no reasonable prospect of the
| stock holders ever getting their money
| back. For that sole reason we resigned
| our positions and returned our stock"

RAILROAD KINGS
INSPECTING line
Joint Departure of Big Three
Strengthens Probability of
Traffic Agreement
Louis w. Hill Quietly Slips in
and Out of City; May Have
Attended Conference

Darius Miller, president of the Bur-
lington; Charles H. Schlacks. first vice
president of the western Pacific and
of the Denver and Rio Grande railroads,
and T. NJ. Schumacher, vice president
in charge of traffic of the Western Pa
eiic, left yesterday morning shortly
after o'clock on a trip over the West
ern Pacific road.
The departure of Schumacher with
Schlacks and Miller is significant of a
probable traffic agreement between the
Hill roads and the Gould lines, and well
informed railroadmen are expecting
within year the announcement that
Hill will come into San Francisco over
the Western Pacific tracks. The un
usual hour of departure excited con-
siderable specula tion at the Western
Pacific ferry station on the other side
of the bay, and it is understood that the
special train will proceed slowly in or
der to give Miller an opportunity to in =
spect the road thoroughly.
1t leaked out yesterday that Louis
W. Hill, son of the great railroad mag
nate and president of the Great North
ern, was in this city for several hours
one day last week. This is also taken
to indicate that there have been nego-
tiations between the big men of the
railroad world. Probably no more than
10 persons knew that Hill was in the
city at the time. No one knows what his
movements were with the exception OF
a trip of a half hour into Chinatown
to purchase several small articles.
Just what was accomplished Monday
at the conference between Schlacks and
Miller can not be ascertained. Both
officials left town before they could be
questioned as to the import of the con-
ference. There is no doubt in the
minds of we'll informed railroad Off
cials that Hill is still determined to
gain an entrance into this city, and his
connection with the Gould. interests in
the joint control of the Colorado and
Southern appears TO have paved the
way for that entrance.

GIRL SEEKS ARREST
OF WEALTHY CONTRACTOR
Would Prosecute Her Alleged
Lover CriminaIIy

Miss Mary J. Reid of 1901 Fairview
street, Berkeley. who has entered suit
against John II. Peltier wealthy con-
tractor Of II Logan street, to recover
100000 for breach of promise and be-
trayal, has not abandoned her inten-
tion to prosecute her aged suitor Grim
inally.
In answer to a citation, Peltier ap-
peared with his attorney and Miss
Reid was also present with her mother
and her attorney, Selden. S. Wright.
After listening to both sides, Assist
ant District Attorney Rock expressed
the opinion that with the evidence be-
fore him he would not be justified in
issuing the complaint. 1t was decided
to lay the matter over for a week.
Miss Reid had with her two women
who were supposed to be witnesses for
her.
