THE SA STATE PROFTS BY INSURANCE Taxes Collected From This | Business Nearly Doubled During Year Just Ended |NEW LAWS ARE NEEDED |Life and Marine Concerns Suffer From Scandal and | Disasters on the Ocean [ SEPET T | The amount of revenue collected | from the insurance companies by this | State during the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1906, shows a remarkable in- | crease, being nearly double that of the | preceding year. According to the fig- | ures of St Insurance Commissioner | E. Myron Wolf, the total coliections of | this department amounted to 205, | 098 62, which shows it to be one of the | best revenue-producing sources of the | State. He predicts that the amount of | revenue to be collected for the present | year will exceed this amount by more | than $50,000. Tk various lines of the insurance | business show a profitable year, ex- | cepting life and marine insurance.

They- were arrested yesterday by Detectives Cody and Riordan and booked at the City Prison, each on three charges of receiving stolen goods. Other charges may be registered against them. The Meyerstein Company, furnishing goods, 2 Battery street, complained to the police a few days ago that articles were ‘being stolen from their store, and said they suspected Frank Reilly, a porter in their employment. .Cody and Riordan were detailed on the case and they soon discovered that the suspicions of the firm were correct. Yesterday they placed Reil- ly under arrest and he made a confes- sion. He sald that Morris senior had in- duced him to steal from the firm. Morris would order a certain quantity of goods «and Reilly would send a largely increaséd supply, unknown to the clerks or mem- bers of the firm. For instance, Morris phonium, “Reminiscences of Donizetti” (Godfrey); grand fantasia, “I" (Leoncavallo); overture, “Oberon” (Weber); caprice, “Cabana)” (Loujs Lombard); selection, “The tune Teller” (Herbert); ferno,” “Dance of the Demon” “Benediction of the Ponlards” beer). —_—e——————— Sold 16 Typewriters.

He was booked on three charges of petty larceny. The detectives also recovered from the Bargain House twenty-two and a halt sides of bacon which Howard J. Laskey, a teamster for Ruggles & Farnsworth, had stolen from Kingan & Co., 117 Cali- fornia street, and sold to Morris. Laskey admitted that when he went with his truck for a supply of bacon to be deliv- ered to some firm he would throw in a few extra sides, which he would sell to Morris. Laskey was arrested and booked on two charges of petty larceny. Morris had sold two and a half sides of the bacon to Jacobsen & Schiller, proprietors of a restaurant at 1233 Market street. ———————— Interpret Classical Plays. The Danes of San Francisco have or- ganized a dramatic club with the ob- Ject of producing each year a series of classical Danish plays for the edifica- tion of their fellow countrymen. Simi- lar Swedish and Norwegian organiza- tions exist and they have met with much success. As the Danes have con- siderable talent to draw upon and a repertoire of meritorious Danish plays to interpret, they deemed it expedient to organize likewise. F. C. Ham- murich, Mrs. P.
