OAKLAND, June 18.—Under the rule adopted by the fire underwriters’ ad- justing bureau ten days ago to faclli- tate the settlement of losses in which more than six insurance companies are interested the companies that received reports of the findings of the loss com- mittee from the secretary of the bu- reau one week ago will be free tomor- row to proceed to settle their indivig- ual share in a risk in their own way if they have been unable to agree upon a general plan of settlement with the other companies involved in the same loss. According to the regulation, which was enacted after it appeared that the original method of calling meetings of the companies interested .in"a loss to act upoh the report of the loss commit- tee was a falluré, the companies in- volved in a risk are'free one week after receiving a report of the loss commit~ tee to proceed to seftle and pay their individual risk as they see fit and with- out hindrance from any other company | interested in the same loss. With the new rule in full effect it is expected | that the ready-to-pay companies that \“ere hampered and delayed by the eva- sive and unbusinesslike tactics of some af the other companies will be in'a po- | sition to go ahead and reimburse their policy-holders. | WILL HELP WIDEN BREAK.

THE EARTHQUAKE CLAUSE.' President George W.

Bament, a member of the com- mittee of five, stated that inlall fikeli- hood a meteing of the thirty-four com- | panies whith his committee represents | would take place Wednesday, although no call had been issued. C. F.

One company refused to pay upon the pre- text that part of a cornice on his build- ing had fallen, although the chimneys in the building were still standing after the fire. Another company had refused payment on his stock of goods, claiming that the falling of the cornice had voided their policy also. Several policy-holders complained of {he unreasonable demands made by the companies for plans and specifications of burned buildings, which could not | be fully supplied because the archi- tects or contractors were dead or had moved away; others complained of the demands for vouchers to support even the smallest items in inventories; others stated that payment had been refused on bona fide losses ‘on account of the so-called “earthquake clause,” although the companies did not con- test the amount of the loss, arfid there was general complaint against the dil- atory tactics of nearly every company for their delay, with the evident pur- pose of wearing out the anxious and dependent policy-holders to secure a large discount for an immediate cash settlement. It was determined to secure the serv- ices of a competent, experienced ad- Juster, whenever necessary, to act in behalf of the policy-holders in all ques- tions involving the falling of any part’ of a building, or the failure of the pol- icy-holder and the companies to agree upon the amount of 108s under the pol- icy.

HORRIFYING BESTIALITY MARKS REMOVAL THE WORK OF BIELYSTOK MOBS NOTICE. Bodies of Scores of Jewish Vich'ins of Fanatical Rioters Mutilated and Beaten Until They Are Deprived of All Semblance to Human Forms. : Even the Wounded That Crowd Hospitals Are Frightfully Mangled, Their Hands, Arms or Legs Having Been Chopped Off by Persecutors. BIALYSTOK, June 18.—Quiet reigned today throughout this devastated town. Firing was heard at midnight on the outskirts of Bialystok, near the ceme- tery, but no further disorders have oc- curred. The total figures of the casualties are not available, but seventy bodles were buried today. Thig is claimed to be less than half the total of the killed. Jewish estimates say that not less than 200 were killed. The number of wounded is enormous. Surgeons have arrived from Warsaw to assist the overworked staffs of the hospitals in caring for the injured. A few Instances of the excesses were the bestlality and brutality with which the victims of the massacre were treated. Some of the corpses were mere masses of pulped flesh, the wounded in some cases having scarce- ly a sound bone in their bodies. Today the story of the riot was writ- ten in large letters in the aspect of streqts, which were one continuous pic- ture of arson and pillage. The win- dows and doors of the Jewish houses were wide open, giving a view of their wrecked interjors, or were boarded up with rude wooden shutters. HOMES OF JEWS WRECKED. Eyerywhere could be seen weeping women, hunting for traces of killed or wounded relatives. The principal stores were either devastated wrecks or mere mounds of ashes, among which the wretched proprietors, last week rich, but now reduced to poverty, were wandering about weakly endeavoring to ascertain the extent of their mis- fortunes. Before practically every house left intact hung an ikon, with a burning lamp, and the stréet doors were marked with great crosses, made with chalk or of cloth, to show that the inmates were Christians. Another attack was made yesterday evering on the police station by armed revolutionists, who -occupied a house near by. They opened fire from the building on the police, but a force of Cossacks was gathered, the house was stormed and the revolutionists were dispossessed. It was feared that the latter, who are members of the Jewish Bund and are enraged and embittered by the slaughter of their co-religionists, would seize the occasion of the funeral of the victims today to make a mew attack, but the Governor General took the necessary military measures to prevent it. The garrison has been strongly re- inforced. On account of the-destruction.of the stores of provisions, supplies are al- most unobtainaple just now, but food ie being impor! to relieve the desti- tution. 4 BODIES FR!?}EFULLY MUTILATED. The scene at the Jewish Hospital, where the majority of the Jevglsh dead and the more severely wounded were taken, was terrible. The grass plot outside the hospital today was covered with mangled corpses, arranged in two long rows, awaiting burial. The wood- en walk from the gate to the door, | over which the bodies were carried, was stained with blood. ‘The dead and waounded were still arriving. Many of them had been lying untouehed in the streets for two days. Only the most severely wounded - were taken inside the hospital. The bodies of some of these were frightfully bruised, broken and mangled. A constant stream of unhappy per- sons visited the hospital yard and, when allowed to do so, the wards, en- deavoring to locate and identify mem- bers of their familles or friends, or pbtain bodies of the dead for burial. Some of the bodies had already been removed, but the hospital attendants asserted that about a hundred in all had been brought in and that many more remained ‘in the outskirts of Bialystok, where it was still unsafe for the Red Cross detachments to ven- ture. At the district hospital there were six dead persons and eight or ten wounded. These were all Christians. One man had been killed and two wounded as a result of the explosion of bombs. The others had bullet wounds. These bodies were not mangled or mutilated, as was the case with the Jews, whose hand, arms and legs were chopped off from mere wan- tonness. OUTBREAKS AGAINST JEWS. WARSAW, June 18.—The Chief of Police of Warsaw today issued a proc- lamation warning the people against the éfforts to provoke racial hatred and stating that every attempt at rioting would be mercneuly suppressed by force of arms. Anti-Jewish riots hnve broken out at Zebludow and Giuondz, in the pro- vince of Grodno and at Ossowiec, in the province of Lornza. ODESSA, June 18.—The Novosti of this city published a dispatch today from its correspondent at Bialystok, saying: “I personally counted 290 Jewish corpses, a great number of which were horribly mutilated. Only six Chris- tians were killed and eight wounded.” BERLIN, June 18.—The Jewish So- ciety today received a telegram from Grajewo,, Russian Poland, dated Mon- day, saying that at Lapy, a village near. Blalystok, five Jews had been killed and many wounded, and at Starcheltzi all the Jewish shops had been destroyed. HORRORS PAST DESCRIPTION. Words Fail Eye Witnesses Who Give Details of the Atrocities. ST. PETERSBURG, June embargo on news from Bialystok was lifted today and a press correspondent was for the first time allowed to tele- graph directly from the sacked city a picture of the scene of ruin and deso- lation left in the wake of the mob. According to frequent bulletins, order was restored and maintained through- out the day, in spite of the incentive to disorder at funerals which were in progress almost the whole day; but the atmosphere is supercharged and a slight event may suffice to prcclpltlte a renewal of street fighting. The authorities apparently realize this, hope to. avert either a catastrophe or a show of force. On one occasion the whole garrison was called out on some alarm and the streets were literally | e@ merchant named packed with horse, foot and- artillery until the danger was passed. The story told by the press corres- pondent is a dreadful one, but there are indications that he has been pre- vented by the censo p from relating lurgner details about h' conditions of corpses, the utter bestiality of the mob and the Inability of theé troo; cope with the excesses during the days of the rioting. It is evident from the d!npptchu that the excess assumed the character of a three-cornered fight between the military, the mob and armed members of the Jewish Bund, who, instead of submitting passively to slaughter, as their unarmed co-religionists have done heretofore, carried the war into the enemy’s camp and fought bravely, though without: inflicting appreciable loss on the troops, among whom no serious casualties have been reported. Horrible details have been sent out by the correspondent of the Bourse Ga- zette, who managed to send his story by a messenger on Sunday afternoon. The correspondent, who accompanied Stchepkin directly to the hospital, es- corted by a corporal’s guard, says he was utterly unnerved by the sights he witnessed there. “Merely saying that the corpses were mutilated,” the correspondent writes, “fails to describe the awful scenes. The faces of the dead have lost all human semblance, and the corpses simply are crushed masses of flesh and bone soak- ing in blood. It is impossible to con- ceive of such bestiality. The cospse of Teacher Aptsein lay In the grass with| the hands tied. In the face and eyes had been hammered three-inch nails. | Rioters entered his home and after fear- ful outrages, killed him thus and then murdered ‘the rest of his family of seven. When the corpse arrived at the hospital, it was also marked with bay- onet thrusts. “Beside the body of Apstein lay the corpse of a child of 10 years, whose leg had been chopped off with an ax. Here also were the dead from the Schlachter home, where, according to witnesses, soldiers came and plundered the house and killed the wife, the son and a neighbor’s. daughter and serious- ly wounded. Schlachter and his two daughters. “I am told that soldiers entered the| apartments of the Lapidus brothers, which were crowded with people who! had fled from the streets for safety, and ordered the Christians to separate themselves from the Jews. A Chris- tian student named Dikar protested and was killed om the spot. Three| Jews were shot. “Some of the corpses were marked with fire. These had been brought from a burned tannery and showed bul- | let and bayonet marks. “In one corner of the yard was a de- mented Jewess trying to caver the body of her husbdnd, but her efforts were in vain, as the blood simply oozed from beneath the inadequate covering. “From the wounded in the hospital the correspondent heard many pitiable stories, all of the same general tenor. Hére is the account fi! a badly wound- evyazhiky: “‘I live in thé suburbs. Learning of the pogrom, I tried to reach the town through the fields, but was intercepted by roughs. My brother was killed, my arm and leg were broken, my skull was fractured and I was stabbed twice in the side. I fainted from loss of blood and revived to find a soldier standing over me, who asked: “What! Are you- still alive? ' Shall I bayonet you?' I begged him to spare my life. The roughs again came, but spared me, saying “He will die; let him suffer longer.'” The correspondent, who adopts the bitterest tone toward the Government, holds that the pogrom undoubtedly was provoked and attributes the re- sponsibility to Police Lieutenant Scher- matieff. He says the distinctive char- acteristic of the outbreak, in which it differs from the excesses at Odessa, Kishinev, Gomel and Kiey, aside from bestiality, is the comparatively small amount of actual robberies committed. The participants seemingly were not inspired by motives of loot, but of murder and destruction, pure and sim- ple. He. also holds that the partici- pation of the troops has been complete- ly proved, and guotes Deputy Stchep- kin as saying this is clearly shown by the demoralization of the soldiery con- sequent on the removal of all restraint. The correspondent declares that not only the soldiers, but their officers also, participated, and tnat he himself was a witness as late’as Saturday to the shooting down of a Jewish girl from the window of a hotel by Lieutenant Miller of the Vladimir regiment. The Governor of the Province of Grodno, who happened to be passing at the moment, ordered an investigation. HOUSE PLANS A DEFIANCE. Will Continue in Session all Summer in Spite of the Csar. ST. PETERSBURG, June 18.—The long debate on the agrarian gquestion was ended at this morning’'s session of the lower house of Parliament with a strong speech by Michaél Stackovitch, of Orel, in which he virtually declared that the Government must recognize the principte of the partial expropria- tion of private land holdings in order to satisfy the peasunts, but he ap- pealed for peaceful co-operation be- tween the House and the Government in arranging a settlement of this great question. It was then decided to send the agrarian question to a commission and after recess the question of the composition of the commission was considered. The size of the commis- sion, which will be elected tomorrow, was fixed after the debate at ninety- nine, or eleven more than originally planned. The House thereupon turned to the discussion of the bill providing for the abolition of all special class privileges and religious and national restrictions affecting civil rights. It was learned today that the Con- stitutional Democrats, in caucus, have definitely decided to réfuse to obey the order to take a recess in case the Government venture upon this step. A rumor was currnt in the lobbles of the House today that the Cabinet had de- cided, in view of the unanimous oppo- sition of the House, not to attempt to declare a recess. During the afternoon a project of the order of proposed legislation was drawn up By Petrunkevitch, Vinarar and others, and was presented to the House. Outwardly it was not important, but it provides for a continuance of the work of the throughout the summer. The project will be considered tomorrow.

St. Francis, Shreve and Crocker Bulld- | ings Damage to He Considered. An attempt will be made teday to adjust the losses on three of the large | buildings in San Francisco. These are | the St. Francis Hotel, the Shreve build- | Ap- | ing and the Crocker bullding. praisements of the loss have been made. Now the several insurance | companies that are interested will | meet today | talk the matter over. That is, some | of them will, through their represen- | tatives. The loss on the St. Fran(‘l: Hotel is estimated at about $225,000. The amounts of losses on the other build- ings mentioned, both of which are owned by the Crocker heirs, are mnot estimated. In the Shreve building the costly stocks of goods figure in some of the policies.
