First— That the Sutler tttreet rallway
rompany and the United Railroads
company of San Krancisco refused to
allow the Inclusion ln the permit

Second— Thai we are unalterably in

Htipulatlon above mentioned, or until
such time a* the risrlit* of the Gutter

tend to mitigate acainst.
Lower Market street will be saved.
to the Geary- street municipal railroad
if the action of the public utilities com
mittee of the board of supervisors
taken yesterday is indorsed by the
board when it meets on Monday next.
In the above quoted resolution of Su
pervisor J. O. Walsh the rights of the
city's road are to be protected, and the
United Railroads and the Sutter street
company barred from the outer tracks.
The public utilities committee also
recommended a resolution introduced
by Supervisor Robert J. L#oughery,
which provides that the Bancroft ordi
nance be not passed, but that the
board requests the Downtown associa
tion and other bodies to use their in
fluence with the United Railroads to
get the corporation to voluntarily, with
the co-operation of the board of su
pervisors, make the necessary changes
in the road to operate the Sutter
street cars over the inner tracks from
Sutter and Sansome streets to the ferry.
The Bancroft ordinance was a manda
tory measure to compel the United
Railroads to route its Sutter street
cars over the inner tracks.
WOULD FORCE UNITED RAILROADS
Supervisors Bancroft and Oscar
Hocks stated yesterday that the L»ough
ery ordinance was not entirely satis
factory.
"On next Monday,"' said Bancroft, "I
will move that the first three para
graphs of the Loughery bill be ctricken
out. and that the board pass my reso
lution."
"We are men enough to carry out
the will of the people and force the
United Railroads to operate its Sut
ter street cars over the outer tracks,"
declared Supervisor Hocks. "We do
not have to pass the problem over to :
the Downtown association or any other '
body."
The Loughery resolution is as
follows:
ResolreJ, we reoomtnond to the board of super
visors that the proposed ordinance introduced by
Supprrisor Bancroft, directing and requiring the
I'n',tf<l ttailrittds to irmke certain switches and
trolley connections aad operate Its cars in Sutter
*treet over and along the center tracks In lower
Marker street from Sansome to the ferry, be not
adopted, for the following reasons, to wit:
We belle** its adoption would not remove the
borseenrs or give the relief to the public it is
eoekinsf, rlz: continuous service over Sutter street
and Market to the ferry wlthont change of cars,
but. instead, would involve tbe city in endless
litigation: further.
We believe the courts bhould not be resorted to
for the adjustment of questions of thin kind
while other muns can be applied to accomplish
the purpose desired: further.
Ac a substitute, through which relief mar be
obtained, we recommend and urge the resident*
of fatter Btreet. the Downtown association, the
North End improvement club and other civic or
ganization* who desire improved service on the
Sutler street line and who have been petitioning
the board cf supervisors for a temporary permit
to the outer tracks in Market street, to exercise
the came r^al and influence with tbe United Itail
rr,a<i< us they did upon the board of supervisor!"
to have them make necessary switch and trolley
connection* *nd operate their Slitter street cars
over the center tracks in Market street to the
ferry for the accommodation of the public until
pucn time as the rights of the Sutter street rail
way company have been determined by the courts
through the action now pending before It Insti
tuted by this board: further.
The board of pupervfnorn declares it stands
ready to co-operate with the above named Im
provement elnhs and associations by granting
permits for the necessary switches and trolley
lines.
MEETING PROVES EXCITI.VG
The meeting of the public utilities
committee yesterday afternoon was an
exciting event. The large hall of the
board was packed with a gathering
strongly in favor of the Geary street
road, and every reference to it was
cheered. Once, when Dr. George K.
Frink, in arguing for the outer track
permit for the Sutter street company,
said, "1 have discussed this thing
with Patrick Calhoun and he said he'd
take no advantage of the city, and if
he says a thing he will carry out his
word." there was a loud laugh from
the crowd.
Chairman Pugh of the committee
presided; The other members. present
were Herget, Loughery, Walsh and
Hocks.
Walsh first presented his resolution
Attorney Edgar Peixotto, who stated
that he appeared for the Downtown as
sociation, presented a resolution which
he declared would prove a panacea for
all Market street woes. It was to give
the Sutler street railway company a
temporary permit to use the outer
tracks, leaving the legal relations be
tween the city and the company in
statu <juo. Of course the Walsh reso
lution made the Peixotto suggestion
futile.
Talks were made by Attorney Oscar
Cooper, representing the Central im
provement association, Andrew J. Gal
lagher. Dr. Julius Rosenstern, D. S.
Hutchlngs, J. J. Pratt, president of the
Geary street municipal railway asso
ciation. Mr 6. Sparks and others.
Supervisor Bancroft produced addi
tional proof that the Sutter street cars
could be operated on the inner tracks.
The Walsh resolution was passed
unanimously; Hocks voted no on the
lx>ughery resolution.
General Manager C. IS. Black and
Thornwell Mullally of the United
Railroads were silent spectators at the
meeting.

ONE WEEK'S GRACE
GIVEN SORORITIES
High School Pupils May Remain
in Greek Letter Societies
Until April 20
Matter Is Promised Attention at
Next Meeting of School
Board
One week's grace was granted the
pupils of the San Francisco high
schools, who have joined sororities and
fraternities since the passage of. the
law prohibiting such action; .through
the leniency of School Directors. Payot
and Whelan at. the >\u25a0 meeting/ of the
board of education • held yesterday.
President Bannerman and Mrs. Kin
caid, the other directors^ wanted to
suspend the recalcitrant pupils' at once.
Bannerman introduced a resolution
suspending "them -forthwith. But the
motion was lost, owing to Payot and
Whelan's ' votes. \u25a0 '
Payot introduced an amendment to
the Bannerman resolution providing
that all pupils who had not resigned
from their Greek letter societies by
Wednesday, April 20, should be sus
pended.
This failed to carry. Then Payot
said that on next Wednesday he would
introduce a resolution similar to Ban
nerman's which he would support.
Superintendent Roncovieri favored
the milder treatment.

CHOYNSKI RESENTS
SLUR ON BRAVERY
Characterizes *Wj 'HoffrCook as
"Dirty, Sneaking Coward"
and "Cowardly Cur"
Preliminary Hearing of Joseph
Brachman for Subornation
of Perjury Closed
The preliminary hearing of Joseph
Brachman, charged with' subornation of
perjury in connection with the trial of
Gee Gong, a Chinese, for murder, was
enlivened yesterday afternoon by a
passage, at arms between. Herbert
Choynskj, attorney for the defendant,
and Attorney W. Hoff Cook, special
prosecutor.
During Lyons' cross examination
Tuesday, Choynski saw a button of the
Spanish-American war veterans in the
lapel of Lyons' coat and obtained an
admission from Loyns that he was not
in good standing, but that he had a
right to wear it, as he had bled for his
country.
When Lyons' cross examination was
concluded yesterday afternoon, Cook
said to Lyons: "You were not stationed
watching the' barracks at Sausalito, or
the warehouse at the foot of Van Ness
avenue, or Market and Powell streets
watching »
He got no further, as Choynski
jumped to his feet, looking as if he
would attack Cook, and shouted: "I've
a good mind to kick somebody's head
off for making suggestions of that kind.
I think anybody that would do that
is a dirty, sneaking coward. You
never had the pluck. to come forward
and serve your country. I am ready
at all times to do it and have been, and
I say to you, Mr. Cook, in all sincerity,
I think a man who makes a statement
of that kind Is a cowardly cur."
Judge Deasy interrupted by remark
ing: "Gentlemen, this is all outside the
record."
"The reason for this," said Cook, "is
that Mr. Choynski has aspersed this
man and sneered at him, for when he
said he bled for his country for the
button he wore "
"And he had no right to wear it,"
interrupted Choynski. "I can tell you
that and he can be prosecuted for it,
and I propose to see that he Is ar
rested."
The prosecution closed its case with
the testimony of Attorney J. E. Alex
ander, to the effect that he remembered
Brachman calling at his office in the
Flood building one evening in January
with Lyons. The case was continued
until Saturday morning, when Choyn
ski will decide whether to put on any
witnesses for the defense.
