POLICE AVERT BIG DISASTER Dinan’s Coolness Saves Hotel Fairmont Drags Explosives Out as Flames Approach. Had it not been for the ooolness of Chief of Police Dinan there would be ¢nly a hole in the earth where the Fairmont Hotel stands. On the first night of the fire the dynamiting de- tail from the Presidio stored ffty cases of giant powder in the hotel. In the excitemsnt of firefighting it was forgotten. ‘When the flames began to sweep up towhrd the Botel preparation began for moVving police headquarters. No- body thought of the 5000 pounds of explosives in the hotel. There was enough to scatter fragments of-tho stone structure all over the city When the last bit of police prop erty had been removed and the ordet was given to move to the North End police statfon Chief Dinan remem- bered the glant powder. By that time the air mear the hotel was llke tha breath from a furnace and the flames were lapping one corner of the bulld- ing. The air was filled with flying sparks. Dinan acted quickly.

They were ed on in their ef- forts by the piteous pleading of the m; the smoke and heard the crackle of the flames. But their endurance had reached & limit and they fled for their own safety, leaving twenty-three hu- man beings to their fate.

COMES TO MAKE BIG INVESTMENTS IN THIS CITY not Vice President of Pabst Brewing Com- pany Brings Architect With View of Expending $1,000,000. Charles W. Henning, vice president of the Pabst Brewing Company of Mil- waukee, has arrived in this city, of the company. Henning’s visit is made with the object of taking prelim- inary steps looking to the investment of between $50,000 and $1,000,000 in buildings in this city by the Pabst Brewing Company. The officlals of the company have un- bounded confidence that San Francisco will soon be restored to its former greatness and prominence, and its ex- pressed intention to put $1,000,000 in the rehabilitation of the city is a sub- stantial proof of its faith in the city’'s future. One of the big investments planned by the company is the secur- ing of the CIliff House property if proper terms can be arranged. Start Work on Large Warehouse. OAKLAND, May 10.—Goldberg, Bowen & Co. have commenced the construction of & large warehouse at Sixteenth and Willow streets, opposite the Southern Pacific Company’s sta- tion.

Only 375,050— Insurance Involved in Kohl Building. Some large losses were taken up by the general adjustment committep of the Fire Underwriters’ Adjusting Bu- reau at its meeting in Reed Hall, Qn!:- land, yesté&rfay, and companies were desighiated to provide adjusters to pass upon the claims and report back to the major organization, On the losses of the United Railroads the companies named to farnish ad- |justers were the Royal, New York Un- derwriters and Phenix of Brooklyn. |THe Fireman’'s Fund, Royal Exchange and the Royal were chosen to supply adjusters on the loss of the Young Men’s Christian Association. On the Kohl bullding loSs the adjusters are to bo selected by the London and Lan~ casghire and the California fire compa~ nies. The loss of the Baldwin Jewelry Company is to be determined by ad- usters appointed by the Phoenix Com- pany of London. the Phenix of Brook- !lyn and the Union Company of London. It came as a surprise to the general ladjusting committee to learn that there was but $75,000 insurance involved in |the damage done to the Kohl building. During the session of the Fire Un- derwriters’ Adjusting Bureau yester- day considerable time was given over to the consideration of the fire de- struction at Santa Rosa. The basis of adjusting the losses in that town has not been decided upon by the under- writers. A committee of three, con- sisting of Messrs. Osborne, Mitchell and Brown, was appointed to represent the insurance firms holding risks in Santa Rosa. This committee will investigata the circumstances attending the losses caused in the Sonoma town by the earthquake and upon the committee’s ireport will depend the method to be |pursued in settling the losses.

ALTON FIGHTS THE SYNDIGATE Tries to Put Stop to ‘Work on the Bulk- head. Gauses the “Arrest of Two Employes of Com- . pany. OAKLAND, May 10.—County Asses- sor Henry P. Dalton and his brother, Frank Dalton, this afternocon caused the arrest of two employes of the Real- ty Syndicate who are doing prelimi- nary work on the projected bulkhead ‘between the Southern Pacific Compa- ny’s mole and the Key Route pler, where the syndicate proposes to con- struét a comprehensive system of docks and wharves, The Daltons own a foundry fronting on the bay about one hundred yards eouth of the Sixteenth-street station. They have lald claim to the syndicate holdings, basing their claims on tids land rights. It was expected a civil suit . might ensue before the contro- versy was ended. but the criminal ac- tion came as a complete surprise. Henry P. Dalton called up Chief of Police Wilson at noon today on the telephone while the Chief was at din- ner and requested thaet he immediate- ly send an officer to arrest men who were pulling up piles driven by him and his brother In the tide lands ad- Joining the Dalton foundry. Chief ‘Wilson refused to issue the necessary order from his home and asked Dal- ton to wait until he had returned to his office in the City Hall Assessor Dalton then visited Cap- tain of Police Petersen and explained to bim that unauthorized parties were pulllng piles he had driven. Dalton wished an officer to immediately ar- rest thie men. Captain Petersen informed Dalton that his officers would arrest any man desired if Dalton would place his hand on the accused man’s shoulder and say “arrest this man.” Petersen gave in- structions to this effect to the police- man station at the Sixteenth-street de- pot and half an hour later Dalton caused the arrest of two syndicate em- ployes. Chie Wilsor when seen about the | matter explained that he realized tha dispute was one that should be settled in the civil courts, that no criminal action could have a permanent effect. However, he said, as long as Dalton was willing to personally take ‘the nec- essary legal steps to have the men ar- rested it was but his duty to see that the arrests were made. The Realty Syndicate tonight au- thorized the printing of a statement, in explanation of the corporation’s act in ordering Dalton to cease driving piles on the syndicate’s land, which order resulted in Dalton’s attempt at reprisal through the medium of the ‘Oakland police. The syndicate’s state- ment follows: & “The title to the tide lands, from high' water mark to low water mark, at that part of the water front in ques- tion, was procured by the Realty Syn- dicate from the Oakland Water Front Company. The title of the latter com- pany to the property has been con- firmed in a serles of decislons, culmi- nating in a Supreme Court decision in 1897 that absolutely clinches the ti- tle. = Our title, accordingly, obtained from the Oakland Water Front Com- pany, is perfect. It is this land that the syndicate plans to use for manu- facturing and shipping purposes by the reclaiming of the territory, the build- Ing of docks, piers, warehouses, ete. « “Mr. Dalton owns a strip along the days, and he has rented a house at 1531 \ater front, sold to Mr. Dalton’s father Post street, where he plans to make phy the Hibernia Bank years ago his headquarters after Monday of next through E.

The animals at the Chutes shared in the universal terror on the night of the earthquake, When the first ake came the elephant, trumpeting with fright, tugged at her chain and coiled her trunk around a beam over- head as though to prevent the walls from falling in upon her. The lions cowered close to the floors of their cages, trembling; the tigers were like frightened kittens; the monkeys ceased their chattering and crowded in, a wriggling mass in a corner of their cage.
