San Francisco, Cal., May 2.'t.—As serting that its order was made nec essary by the "plundering" of the United Railroads ot San Francisco of upward ut a million dollars by the corporation's former president, Pat rick Calhoun, on the authorization of directors and stockholders, the Cali fornia Railroad Commission gave re luctant consent today to the borrow ing of more money by the Untied tyailroads for the purchase of rolling stock. The commission instructed the company to report each move made In carrying out the order, advised that dividends should he suspended until outstanding Indebtedness is met ami announced that because the same stockholders who had authorized the diversion of funds still were in con trol, it hereafter will supervise the financial operations of the manage ment. In an opinion accompanying us order tllie commission says its audi tor found that in August. 1012, the di rectors of the United Railroads had adopted a blanket resolution approv ing all previous expenditures of money by Ualhoun, of whatever na ture, and authorizing him to make any further disbursements he "ini'-lit consider for the best Interests of the company." Tlds same action was taken later at a stockholder's meeting. Follow ing this. Calhoun in 1018 withdrew *U 00(1,ono, ostensibly for Investment in share-t of the Solano irrigated farms, a land selling project which after ward collapsed. The commission says, however, it has no proof that the money ever went Into the Solano project.. All that the United Railroads show for the *1,00(1,000 is Calhoun's promis sory note, wfllleh was listed In Its as sets at *1 by Jesse Idlienthal, who succeeded him as president. --o BAND CONCERT TODAY.
