BOURN Rumor Declares That the United Railroads May Soon Have a New President Trolley Magnate and Water Chief Said to Be Planning Urban Development Gossip Says Scheme Is on Foot to Drive Tunnel Under Twin Peaks THERE is gossip in business and financial as well as in sewing cir cles. The pink tea has nothing on **the street" when it comes to rumors, and at this moment San Francisco is filled with more or less tangible tales that involve about two of its most con spicuous financiers, Patrick Calhound and B. Bourn. These stories deal with big finance soon to be applied on urban development, and this persistent talk, difficult of Identification with sources, agrees in considerable rolume that Bourn of the Spring Valley water company is the financial god who at the appointed time will come out of the machine to make a market. Development Is Rumored Now, whether these theories afloat in "the street" are merely deductions from the logic of a topographical sit uation, or have an actual and positive basis of fact. The Call is not yet pre pared to say. It is enough that a far reaching: scheme of urban development bears a certain air of plausibility from the known facts, and this condition justifies notice of rumors which from the nature of the case can not be ripe for verification. This floating gossip takes its start from the congestion of residential San Francisco, shut in by difficult and im practicable hills on the south and especially the southwest. Beyond Twin peaks lies an undeveloped country ad mirably suited to make choice resi dence property if once it were made accessible. The object, of course can only be acconjpllshed.Jby a tunnel under the peaks. On the other side of the peaks lies a fair and level plateau, mostly owneJ by the Spring Valley water company. Commercially and in a real estate sense all this property is dead matter, a heavy investment eating off its head to pay interest with no returns. Spring Valley Partition It is this commercial condition that In the sense of "the street" lends sig nificance to the otherwise mysterious jiartitlon of the Spring Valley prop erties into three incorporated. divisions, which has caused so much speculation in the last 30 days. There is some important proposition " afoot, as the strong market for Spring- Valley stock demonstrates. Bourn obviously is not Inventing triplets for purposes of amusement. To bring this now unavailable prop erty into the market requires first of all a tunnel under Twin peaks. That would be a very costly undertaking, but by a combination of real estate and transportation interests it could be made to pay large profits. It is in this direction that the prevailing theories or rumors turn. The scheme is given coherence and body by the hint that a combination is on the way to unite in whole or in part two great public util ities. It is quite plain that neither the transportation interests nor the real estate interests could profitably undertake to tunnel Twin peaks. Jointly the way is open for a vast and profit able deal. These are the floating: theories, •which are given here for what they may be worth! The gossip e\*en be comes more specific when it is inti mated that Patrick Calhoun will be withdrawn from the presidency of the United Railroads and that Bourn will take his place.

PERMIT UP TO THE COURTS MAYOR SEEKS A DECISION Will Await Judicial Action, on Market Street Matter That the proposed temporary permit to operate trolley cars on the outer tracks in lower Market street would not be considered further by the board of supervisors, and that the people's controversy with the United Railroads would be fought out in the courts was definitely announced yesterday by Mayor P. H. McCarthy as an adminis tration policy." " . V\ -' The mayor Tsaid that his announced policy was consonant with the pledges of the platform upon which he was elected, and that in the event that a "temporary" permit had bteen passed by the board of supervisors, he would not have signed it until' his own doubts were removed. He also declared that he would run the Geary street munici pal cars to the ferry via Market street, regardless of the' outcome of the pres ent controversy. The mayor declined to express an opinion touching the spirit of the United Railroads* attitude toward the people, beyond saying: that if Vie were conducting 1 the company's affairs- in good faith he would not pursue the policy adopted in the Market -street Could Use Inner Tracks Touching the reasons for the United Railroads' demand for a peftnit without consideration, "the mayor said^that he could have only a layman's opinion, but he admitted that the Merchants' association's report on the operation of street railroad lines in San Francisco, issued February 1, 1909, proved the practicability of running the Sutter street cars over the inner tracks. "The temporary permit proposition will not be considered further,"' said the mayor in answer to a direct ques tion. "We are going, right into court and definitely settle once and for all the- rights of the United Railroads and the city of San Francisco in ,these Sutter street matters. That is the place to settle this question, and that, you will find, by consulting the plat form of my party, is what we prom ised the people we would do.. ,Tlie platform promised that we would set tle the lower Market street question within the. law and promptly. ' "If the Sutter street company is a ghost and Its privileges have lapsed, there is but one company running down Market street. That company is the United Railroads. It does not need a. permit to operate its cars down the inner track. Courts the Best Resort "The efforts hitherto exerted by the city were not the right way to reach this situation.- The right way is to take the question into, the courts by quo warranto proceedings or such other action as may be determined upon by the people's legal advisers. Then we will learn definitely what are the rights and the duties of all concerned." \u25a0 "Were you in favor of granting the temporary permit?" the mayor was asked. • "If a temporary permit could not be twisted into the basis for a long legal battle, it would have been all right," McCarthy replied. , "Mr. Mayor. have you in' mind a single instance of a temporary permit which did not in fact become a perma nent permit?" "That, question," replied the mayor," undoubtedly Involves the people's fear of a temporary permit. The people do fear temporary permits. This over head trolley franchise was called a temporary permit, - 1 believe, but it turned out to be something else. I was not unmindful of that and I would not have signed a temporary permit until my doubts had been removed by the beat legal advisers." . ; Company's Claim Absurd -The mayor said that- he remembered that the report on the operation of street railroad lines in San Francisco issued by the Merchants' association proved in detail the* absurdity of the United Railroads' contention that the inner tracks would be. overcrowded If the Sutter street cars were run over them. ?> ' ;\ f * On pages 35 and 36 of that report the Inspector employed by the Merchants' association furnished detailed statistics which literally wiped out the over crowding theory. By way of introduc tion to the statistics the inspector said: "There is no doubt that this 5 could be done after putting in new switches at Sutler and .'Market streets. The extra cars that would run on Market street from the Sutter street line would not overcrowd the lines' now in use.. Three times the present number of cars now running in Market street could be run before overcrowding." ; : "If It be true, Mr. Mayor, that the operation of the Sutter. street cars over the inner tracks 1 would not result". in overcrowding, what logical excuse:was there for the demand for this temporary permit?" . "As i -layman -I can - not .have an opinion on the legal questions involved. If the company conscientiously. believes it has rights on the outer track's which would be sustained » by the. courts it might seek a temporary, permit to avoid Continued vo l'age S, Columns 2 and 3 SASST FRANCISCO, > MAR \ 'TEMPORARY', BUT ALL THEY NEED The history of .

Kelly, \u25a0who was 'the son of the late Captain John Michael Kelly St., a Los Angeles millionaire, died Saturday, leav ing to his wife, who was Miss Olive Egran, an actress, all his property. There were rumors abroad to the effect that a contest would ensue over the estate of the young man, but there will be none. Family, iMeeting at Grave i All the property of which Kelly was possessed at the time of his death will go to his widow, while his shares in his- father's estate which have not yet been" paid to him will revert to the estate. His mother and sister attended the funeral in Oakland Monday and re turned to Los Angeles yesterday. Be fore they left it was stated that there would be no contest. At the funeral ttiey met the wife for the first time. Olive Egan came to San Francisco about three years ago with' a theatrical company. Kelly met her and the two became fast friends. When # the troupe went to Los Angeles Kelly followed her, and later was in her -wake when she came back to San Francisco. Wife Was Not Recognized The couple were married at Redwood City a year and a half ago. It was a. very quiet affair. Kelly had been prom inent socially at Berkeley, where he belonged to one of the fraternities which went in strongly for social .ac tivity. Kelly's mother and sister lived in Los Angeles. His sister was considered the most beautiful girl in the southern city. The younger Mrs. Kelly was not received by her husband's family, but the lack of recognition did not disturb the young couple, for they lived In this city in a handsome flat in Fell street. When Kelly senior died he left part of his estate* in trust for hi 3 children. The trustee was President Sartort of the Security trust company of Los An geles. [: 'r's *^'? : )M \u25a0'\u25a0',' Death Reduces Fortune , The terms of the, trust were that the daughter would receive her share ot the estate on reaching her majority, but the son was to receive his in install ments. He was to receive a certain portion at the age of 21, another allot ment at the age of 26 and a third in stallment at the age of 30. The trust provided that any money left in thei fund at the time of the death of the young man should revert to the estate. 'Kelly died at the age of 26, shortly after he received 'the second install ment of his fortune; The installments have been variously^ estimated at from $60,000 to $150,000. He spent his money lavishly and bedecked his wtte with the most beautiful* diamonds. Her gems are valned at about $40,000.
