RAILROADMEN TO
HOLD CONFERENCE
Representatives of Many Big
Lines Will Assemble in
San Francisco

The conference of railroadmen to be
held in this city this week is not to be
confined to Southern Pacific and Santa
Fe officials, according to reports that
flew thick and fast along railroad row
yesterday Besides the officials of those
roads ii is authoritatively stated that
the Western Pacific traffic officers have
much to discuss with similar officers
of the Southern Pacific.
Darius Miller. president of the Bur-
lington, is in California and is making
straight for San Francisco. it is said.
Miller's presence can not be accounted
for other than that he is also TO be one
OF the council. Every indication points
TO one of the most important railroad
conferences ever held in the west. J..
c. Stubbs vice president and director
Of traffic of the Hartman lines, arrived
in this city yesterday evening and he
viii remain here until the arrival of
Judge Robert s. Lovett, president Of the
company
Besides the probable attendance Of
Darius Miller, Edwin Hawley and
party are said to be on their way west
An important subject that may come
up at the conference IS the possibility
of the Southern Pacific permanently
using the tracks and terminus OF the
Northwestern Pacific at Tiburon. Since
the break of the machinery of the ferry
steame Solano. the car conVeyor be-
tween Benicia and Port Costa, nearly
all of the Southern Pacific freight from
the northern part of the state has been
brought 10 this city via the Northwest
ern Pacific and Tiburon.
There is no definite information as
10 the exact subjects to be taken up.
The Santa Fe officials are the only ones
in the city al present, and they say
that the discussions are to be general,
although they do not deny that the en-
tire conference win be important.
The Southern Pacific party is due in
this city either Friday or Saturday.
They were still in Los Angeles yester-
day evening and no orders had been
received to give the special train the
right of way.

AFFINITY AND BAD
CHECK BRING JAIL
Manager of Busi-essmen's Show
Arrested for Passing AL
legged Worthless Paper

Charged with passing fictitious
complicated by a story concerning his
personal relations in this city with a
Chicago woman who accompanied him
from the east. Louis F. Benton, man
ager of the businessmens show now
running at the Auditorium. was arrest
ed yesterday afternoon on a warrant
sworn out by f. F. Wright, selling
agent with offices in the Monadnock
building.
The incident concerning Benson's
woman companion is not made a part
of the charge brought against him yes
terday, but became known as a result
of an investigation of his actions since
coming from Chicago. While living at
the ST. Francis hotel under his own
name Benton also has maintained a
suite at the Union Square hotel under
the name of j. f; Tuchbreiter, and has
had with him there the woman known
as Miss NJ NJ. Tuchbreiter, whom he
introduced as his sister.
Benton first visited San Francisco in
January for the purpose of promoting
the businessmen's show. Wright who
became interested in the proposition,
declares that Benton asked him to cash
a check for 500 on the Foreman
Brothers bank of Chicago. and later
secured extensive loans from him. The
check was returned with the statement
that Benton was without funds. Ben
ton went to Chicago, but returned
March T. since which time still further
advances have been made to him by
Wright.
March Z, when he arrived from Chi
cago, Benton registered at the St
Francis. while Miss Tuchbreiter regis
tered at the Union. Square. Later in
the day Benton secured an adjoining
room at the Union Square. registering
as J. Z. Tuchbreiter and stating that
the woman was his sister. He ordered
a piano sent to the room, and the two
were much together. On Monday the
two left the hotel suddenly, stating
that they were going out of the city
but Benton remained at the ST. Fran
els, while the woman secured a new
place.
The warrant sworn to yesterday by
Wright was based on the alleged bad
check transaction. Benton, who was
arrested late in the afternoon, asserted
his innocence. He exhibited a contract
with E. Englehardt, an employe of
Wrights, who, he said merely repre-
sented Wright in the deal. According
to Benton's explanation, Wright was
to share the profits of the show and
was to advance $1,000 for it. He ad-
mits having received about $1,000 from
Wright, of which the advance on the
500 check was part, but asserts that
this was all in accordance with the
contract and that Wright's present ac-
tion is due to the latter's desire to es-
cape share of the liability because
the show has not been success
