Many of the best- krown .insurance men of the coast, in- ing representatives from Texas and Montana, were in attendance at the con- vention. Papers bearing upon subjects intimately associated with insurance in all its phases were read by experts in | their several lines. A wide range of topics of interest. not only to the craft, but wo the public having business relations therewith served to render the discus- sions profitable to the fraternity. Presi- dent f?eorge W. Dornin was in the chair and Calvert Megde acted as secretary. At the morning session yesterday se: ersl carefully prepared papers on insur- arce topics were read. Prominent 'among these was the paper of A. W. Thornton Per Cent Co-insurance Clause,” ‘‘Little Drops of Water, Little Grains of Sand,” by Charles B. Hill, and “Hazards of Elec- trical Converters,” by George P. Low. Reinsurance Contract Considered. The report of the committee on reinsur- ance. submitted by Whitney Palache, P. | B. Kellam and Herbert Foiger, was dis- cussed at length. The committee sub- | mitted a revised form of the reinsurance { contract, which in its judgment was wor- thy of consideration by the insurance men. and it will be carefully considered before final action is taken. the afternoon session J. V. ‘Spea: read a_paper on the subject of “Texas.’ He said the Californians were under obli- | gations to Texas for the priviliege of be- coming citizens. Texas is nearly twice as large as California and enjoys a va- riety of climate as famous to_tourists as that of the Golden State. Twenty-four per cent of the territory of Texas, he said, -is timber land and 800,000,000 feet of lumber is sawed annually, so that it is now the third lumber State in the Union.

Insurance, he said In conclusion, was an important fac- tor in Texas commercial life. The ad- dress _was warmly applauded. J. L. Fuller spoke on ‘“The Rebate Evil.” He advocated legitimate and hon- est work by field and special insurance agents, and explained how the rebate feature of the business is too often abusel by unscrupulous agents, who are desir- ous of making money at the expense of their reputation. The speaker counseled agents to treat the public honorably in all things, if ultimate success is to be at- tained. The readinf{ of contributions to the napsack,” by George F. “California Grant, editor of that journal, occasioned some amusement. These included numer- ous jokes and witticisms especially of, in- terest to the insurance fraternity. All of them were devised by insurance men and many exhibited considerable -humor and lr.%enuny in treatment and construction. he matter of arranging for the, prepa- ration of a uniform style of loss blanks was brought up by Richard Lockey of Helena, Mont.. and after some discussion by C. Mason Kinne and Rolla V. Watt it was decided to refer the subject to a committee of three San Franciseo insur- ance men with instructions to report at the next meeting. The committee wiil be appointed by the incoming president. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, W. H. Gibbons; vice president, Dibitney Palache; secretary 'and treasurer, vert Meade. — Executive committee—Herbert Folger, Louls Weinmann, Election” committee—W. H. Lowden, James D.

At 7:30 p. m. fully one hun- dred guests were present. and when Past President George D, Dornin, who acted as | toastmaster, called the assemblage to order all entered with a vim upon the dis- | cussion of a rich-menu. The menu card | was strictly original and consisted of a | form representing a policy and _headed, | “Standard Indigestion Policy, State of | California.” The various courses were marked by witty lines, which reflected | great credit upon the banquet committee. { It was 'nearly 10 o'clock when Toast- master Dornin’rapped for order and ex- pressed his gratitude that fate had select- | €d him to preside over so distingulshed a gathering of gentlemen. He predicted great prosperity for:the association under the rule of his successor, and spoke in general terms of the work of the associa- tion during the past year. His remarks were greeted with warmth. While they were enjoying their coffee | and cigars the assoclation members were treated to a rare display of oratory by prominent. State officlals and insurance men. The newly elected president, W. H. | Gibbons, was given an ovation, and in a brief address, which he admitted was his maiden effort, he asked the younger members of the association to assist him 1in the great work that lay before him {during the coming year. Frank J. Symmes, president of the Merchants’ As; | sociation, made a brief but witty address, and was followed by Samuel Nichols, Sec- retary of the State of Washington and | ex-officlo member of the Insurance Com- | mission of that State. Other toasts were responded to by J. H. Shively, Deputy In- surance Commissioner of Washington; [ Walter J. Ball of Tacoma, Willlam J. Dutton, William Sexton, T. C. Van Ness, . C. Coogan, Judge H. A. Melvin of Oak- | land, Rolla V. Watt, James A. Carey, R. | G Medcratt, J. T. Fogarty and T. J. Tiedemann. A telegram was received from J. W. G. i Cofran, an old member of the association now a resident of Chicago, assuring the members of his undying loyalty. The reading of the telegram evoked cheers. Gecrge D. Dornin Sr. spoke for the elder members of the fraternity, and his re- marks were greeted with enthusiastic ap- plause. The banquet was in every way a success and an occasion for rare enjoy- ment for all present. =1 L e S B B R AR AP FROST MUST NOW SERVE SENTENCE FOR CONTEMPT Circuit Court of Appeals Sets Aside the Order Granting a Stay of Execution. United States Circuit Judges Gilbert, Ross and Morrow, sitting as the United States Court of Appeals, made the fol- lowing order yesterday in the matter of C. A. 8. Frost for contempt: It appearing to the court that on the 3d day of February, 1902, an order was imad- vertently entered ‘staying the execution of the judgment heretofore filed herein sixty days from date In addition to the stay of thirty days theretofore allowed, it is ordered that said order be and the same is hereby vacated, and the United States Marshal for the northern district of California is hereby directed to execute said judzment forthwith. Frost is under sentence of one year's imprisonment in the County_ Jail for con- tempt of the order of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in the Nome mining cases. After he obtained the stay of proceedings he went to Washington, D. C., and was a delighted listener to the ! debate in Congress in which the Circuic Court_of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit was the subject of criticism and vituper- ation for its rulings in the Nome cases on Dbehalf of the miners and against the ring that was attempting to loot the mines under the protecting wing of the United States District Court at Nome. United States shal Shine is now on his way East and will bring Frost back to serve out his sentence in the County Jail. , = . FRIEDLANDER RETURNS WITH CLEVER COMPANY Organization Will Open at Fischer's Theater Monday Evening in “The French Maid.” S. H. Friedlander, the well known- theatrical manager, returned yesterday from New York. He was accompanied by the musical comedy company which will open at Fisther's Theater next Monday evening. The company played two years in Lon- don and one year at the Herald Square Theater in New York, and is credited with being one of the cleverest organ- izations in this country. It will open on Monday night in *“The French Mald.” This will be the first time the musical comedy has been produced in this city. Fischer's Theater has been entirely renovated, new furniture and carpets have been bought, and the house with a seating capacity of 1400 is one of the Cozlest places of amusement in town. Messrs. Fischer and Friedlander will bresent musical comedies, burlesques and extravaganzas in rapid succession in their theater. They have the manuscripis and rights of .producing twenty-eight musical comedies, all of which are new and have never been produced in this city. The productions will be elaborately put on, the costumes for “The French uJ I costing $6500 alone. | will permit. | regarded as valild by the grand jurors. GRAND JOR! IRGES ACTIN ON G1S TS AsksSupervisorsto Com- pel Uniform Charges Throughout City. Suggests Ordinance to Pro- tect Rights of Telephone’ Patrons, | | | Sends Third Communication Looking | to Prevention of Accidents by | Keeping Rear Platforms of Street Cars Clear. The Grand Jury took action yesterday on three matters of great importance to the people of San Franciseco. Communi- cations to the Board of Supervisors were prepared, urging that ordinances be en- acted compelling uniform gas rates, regu- lating telephone service, and requiring that the rear platform of street cars be kept clear of passengers. These communications will be presented at once and early action by the legislative body of the municipality is expected. In fact, the ordinances which the grand | jurors had in view have already been framed, and in response to the initiative of the Grand Jury they will be introduced at the regular meeting of the Supervisors Monday. It is.believed that a majority of the Supervisors favor legislation along the lines suggested in the communications and that the proposed ordinances wfll meet with very general popular support and will be advanced toward final pass- age as rapidly as the requirements of law | Uniform Gas Rates Demanded. The first and most important of the Grand Jury’s communications deals with the problem of uniform gas rates. It urges that an ordinance be enacted that will remove the advantage now possessed by consumers of gas in downtown dis- tricts and in other sections where the force of competition is felt, over consum- | ers who are so unfortunate as to be lo- | cated in a district where gas monopoly holds undisputed sway. The proposed ordinance will reduire | that the lowest rate for gas given to any | consumer must become the general rate | and under its operation it will no longer | be possible for a gas company to charge fifty cents per thousand on one side of a | street, where the mains of a competing | company are also laid, and $1 35 per thou- | sand on the other side of the street, where it happens to have absolute control | of the situation. There is also involved the more important economic principle | residents of outlying districts be placed | on an equality with those of sections more nearly adjacent to the source of supply in regard to public or quasi-public | utilities. H The present situation as to gas rates | has been very vexatious to consumers, | and the unlucky householders who have | been forced to pay monthly gas bills at | the rate of $135 per thousand, the max- imum rate permitted, with the full knowl- edge that in districts where the cost of delivery is not one whit less consumers have had the advantage of a 50-cent rate simply because the mains of competing companies are laid there, have not been disposed to rest quietly under the burden. | The consequent agitation of the question has resulted in the initiative that was taken by the Grand Jury yesterday which promises to lead to legislation that will speedily afford relief from present conditions. Switch First, Then the Nickel. The second communication relates to a matter almost as vexatious and equally trying to the temper if not to the purses of the people. The grand jurors urge | that the Supervisors enact an ordinance | that will compel telephone companies to furnish value received to the patrons of | nickel-in-the-slot - telephones. - They con- sider that no hardship will be inflicted ‘on | the corporation if it be required first to get the switch and then K demand the nickel of the waiting patron. If the pro- posed ordinance be enacted dropping a nickel into the insatiable slot and being informed that ‘‘they don’t answer” wiil be a thing of the past and tempers and purses will be spared a’tax that is most odious. The contention of the telephone com- panies that if the switch is first made and the drop-a-nickel demand made after- ward the patron may refuse to pay is not They hold that the telephone operators may easily and without confusion pre. vent conversation until the nickel has been dropped even though response has first been had from the other end of the line. It is also urged that party lines be limited to six “subscribers, to obviate the present abominable service and vex- atious conditions where ten subscribers are grouped on one line. Rear Platform to Be Clear. The lamentable accident that led to the death of R. B. Milroy, late secretary of the California Jockey Club, inspired the Grand Jury's third communication. It calls attention to the danger to patrons of the street railway companies arising from the crowding of the rear platforms of cars. Mr. Milroy attempted to board a car in front of the Palace Hotel. Ordi- narily he would have succeeded with per. fect safety, but on this occasion the plat- form was crowded and being unable to get a footing Mr. Milroy was thrown to the ground and fatal injuries inflicted. If the ordinance framed in accordance with the Grand Jury's suggestion be enacted the conductor of a car will be re- quired to keep the rear platform entirely clear of passengers when the car is .in motion, the conductor alone being per- mitted to occupy that platform. Charles Sonntag, foreman of the Grand Jury, refused yesterday to discuss the communications to the Supervisors or to glve further details of the ordinances -which the Supervisors are urged to enact.

J. King of a Silver Watch. It was a bad day yesterday in the Supe- rior and Police courts for men charged with robbery and assault with intent to commit robbery, one being convicted in the upper court and three held to answer in the lower courts. 3 F. H. Mack was tried In Judge Cook’s court on a charge of robbery, and the jury after three minutes’ deliberation returned a verdict of guilty. On the night of Janu- ary 11 Mack and another footpad, who escaped, assaulted E.J. King at California street and Quincy place, and after knocking him senseless stole his silver watch and chain and a pocketknife. At the preliminary examination before Judge Mogan, King failed to appear, but he was present yesterday and gave his testimony. Mack will be sentenced Monday. Charles Piebenburg was held to answer by Judge Conlan on a charge of robbery. He is accused of holding up P. Hauk of Alameda on Montgomery street Septem- ber 16 and taking $25 from him. Edward Barry was held for robbery by Judge Conlan. He and two others graboed Leonhard Frank at Kearny and Post streets Sunday afternoon, February 2, and stole his watch. edBBn’y was captured but thers escaped. ‘hlso‘:nse{lee!e, : marine fireman, was held by Judge Mogan to await trial for an as- sault with intent to commit robbery. La: morning he entered the room of John Fisher, 536% Pacific street, and at- tempted to rob him. Fisher's cries for help scared l}teese n;xy. but he was ar- sted soon afterward. T rank Capelll l%pe-red befors Judge Cabaniss on the charge of assault with intent to commit robbery, preferred by Jacob Maas, and by consent the case was continued till next Wednesday. Yesterday William Farrelly and Daniel Odell were arrested by Policemen Peshon and Silver on warrants sworn to by Maas charging them with participating in the assault on him. Maasclaims the men tried to rob him at the corner of Francisco and Powell streets early last Thursday morn- ing.
