M i = REVEALS INTER- ESTING ROMANCE Evades Arizona Laws to Marry a | Pretty White Teacher on |7 Reservation. PHOENIX, Ariz, April 21.—Last | summer in Los 1geles -.ere married { Alfrea Scott and Mae Glage, The announcement signified little on the marriage records, but wa notable th-ough the fact that Scott was a full- blooded Pima Indian d his bride an | extremely tlonde American girl, per- haps five years his senior in age. Scott | had been about six vears away from | the reservation, in the Phoenix Indus- | trial School, and had been a pupil of extreme promise. Miss Glace was a teacher in the same institution, and manifested the keenest interest in the | young Indian’s progress. Marriage between Indians and whites being forbidden by the laws of Arizona, the pair were compelled to go to Cali- fornia to have the ceremony solem- nized. They returned to Arizona last fall, to the Apache Indian settlement at McDowell, thirty miles east of Phoe- | nix, to which point the young lady was transferred as a teacaer. Word has | now come that the bridegroom has died | of consumption, a disease to which In- | dians are very susceptible when they | take up the habits of the white man. The wife nursed the sick man through his months of illness most devotedly, and appears to be broken nearted over her loss. — The Stieger foundry at Eighteenth and Folsom streets had a miraculous escape. The fire never touched it though it presented an inviting field to the flames. At this point the fire did not go south of Howard street. At S RS France, April 21.—The situation growing out df the miners’ strike is becoming worse daily. Strikers are pillaging stores and fighting with the troops. | Commi {00000000ETN 000 G early All the Losses to Be Paid Insurance Companies Stand Ready to Meet Their Obligations. 3ig Underwriters Hold Meeting in Oakland and Discuss the Situation. Commissioner~ Wolf States That Policies Represent Quarter of a Billion, We will pay,” was the announce- ment of the big insurance companies vhen it was n that the city of San Franc 1d be swept to the sround by the disastrous fire that fol- owed the earthquake of Wednesday orning, and not one of the compa- sies has receded from the position \ken. The companies stand firm in their confidence in San Francisco and surrounding country despite the that E. Myron Wolf, Insurance oner, estimates that the losses n the faces of policies covering the arned district will amount to $250,- 100,000. These figures are arrived at n the basis of the amount of premi- ums paid and figuring on the rate of insurance charged. Speaking of the situation from the nsurers’ standpoint, Commissioner Wolf said: “While it is too early to speak au- thoritatively or definitely, all indica- lions are that the insurance companies will settle all losses promptly and fully. A few of the companies may not be able to weather the storm, but nearly every company with authority to transact business in Calfornia has sufficient assets with which to meet every emergency. The California in- surance companies afford full protec- tion, for the reason that the California law as to the liability of stockhoiders applies to all stockholders. The stock- holders in these companies are men of large fortunes, and if the resources of iny company are exhausted the indi- vidual holders of stock are financially able to respond to their obligations.” More than 150 insurance men of San Francisco met in Reed Hall, Oakland, yesterday morning to discuss the sit- uation. George W. Spencer, chairman of the Fire Underwriters’ Adjusting Bureau, presided. Regarding the open- ing of safes in San Francisco, L. T. C. Coogan reported that he had held a conference with Governor Pardee, and that the chief executive said he did not desire to interfere with General Funston’s reign in the city across the bay. He said, however, that the Gov- ernor assured him that he would do all in his power to assist in the re- adjustment. It was decided by the insurance men to order 100,000 blank proofs of losses for immediate use of the policy hold- ers and to urge that the losses be he ct SMIELESS LLEAVYIA G SANR FRANCISCO© Will Begin Repair Work Tomorrow Board of Public Works Is to (_)ommence on the Sewers, Corps of Inspectors and En- gineers in the Employ of the City.

PARIS, April 21.—Maxim Gorky has sent a telegram to the director of a| French publication for which he is| writing his impressions of the United | States.

ST. PETE TRG, April 17.—(BEx- clusive Dispat. .)—Maxim Gorky’s ex- periences in New York have created a stir in Russian society.

She is on the best of terms with her husband and corresponds with him. He | supports her children. She lately came | to St. Petersburg to bid Gorky and An- drieva good-by. “Andrieva is Russia's foremost ac- tress, and i famous as an idealist, rev- olutionist and writer. She was a revo- lutionist long before Gorky, who be- came an adherent of thg party through her influence. “Their friendship is mainly intellec- tual, and Gorky's latest play ‘Barbara, treats of this subject.” - Offers Shelter to Women.
