C, Jepson, resid- ing* at 4145 Hillside avenue. Jepson bolds 2 policy in the company covering household belongings which wete burned on O'Farrell street, near Lar- kin, San Francisco. He went to the company’s office/yesterday in the Al- bany block, and here follows Jepson's aceount of what occurred: “My policy is for $800. I had filed my proof of loss and schedule. Today I learned that Stovel, the local man- ager, had been supplanted by Hosmer from Chicago. To him I applied and was staggered when he answered my query as to what pavment would be made as follows: “We are p%g forty cents on the doligr. no more.” “But,” I protested, “my policy should bring at least seventy-five cents.” “‘The man who would pay seventy- five cents on the dollar on that policy is a fool, replied Hosmer. . “Is your company solvent or insol- vent?"

Home || JULDIERS AND Firing Volleys WITNESSES OF RIOT TELL GRODNO, Russia, June 20.—The anti- Jewish rioting at Blalystok is now end- ed. The troops are in full control, and in view of the outcry raised it is cer- tain that the authorities will not per- mit a renewal of the horrors. This entire region is greatly excited, owing to the fear that the Bialystok massacre was only the signal for a gen- eral attack on the Jews throughout the pale and in Poland, but if any such | conspiracy existed it is too late to carry | out the plans, as imperative orders to issued to the Governors and Governors General from St. Petersburg. volting evidence of savage bestiality on the part of the blood-drunken mobs which sacked and burned ‘the Jewish houses, shops and stores. For seventy- two hours, with a slight abatement dur- ing the daytime, the mad orgie of blood and pillage w: on unchecked. The inhumanity displayed would haveé done credit to the Mongol hordes of Genghis Khan in his conguests of China and Central Asia early in the thirteenth cen- tury. At first police and troops urged on the mob, but finally, when dismayed by the bloody deeds accomplished, they reluctantly sought to obey the orders ork of the rapacious bands of roughs, who were so far beyvond control of the local forces that regiment after regi- before order could be restored. VICTIMS TORN IN PIECES, During the rioting the Jews were hunted down by ferocfous pursuers, who in the majority of cases were not con- | tent with killing their victtms, but tore | them to pieces like wild animals. And while this was in progress the troops either stood idly by or, as was more frequently the case, fired into the houses and Shops where Jews were concealed, under the pretext that they believed’ them to be revolutionists, but really to make way for the murderers and plunderers who followed in the sol- | diers’ wake. While it is impossible to give the exact figures, the visits of a correspond- ent to the hospitals and cemeteries en- lable him to approximate the killed at 100 Jews and twenty Christians, and the wounded at 150 Jews and ‘seven { Christians. Although' many of the Jews denied | that a bomb was thrown at the Corpus | Christi procession on. Thursday, the | fact that a bomb was thrown is es- | tablished beyond a doubt, but the | question of wiro threw it remains un- | settled. The accounts of impartial wit- | nesses, however, demonstrate that an insulting cry enraged the Jews, who attacked the religious procession. Then from one end of the city to the other | the pollce spread the report of the at- tack, thus fanning the religious fanati- cism of the Christians and setting loose | the worst elementg upofi the Jews, on | whom the crowds ‘watching the . pro- | cession had already turned. ~ SOLDIERS AID THE BUTCHERS. The Jews at first fought with re- volvers and bombs, and- with thése weapons the majority of the Christian victims were killed. But the Jews were soon overwhelmed and fled for shelter like rabbits to warrens, into cellars or attics. The soldiers watched this chase and butchery, some- times laughing with indifference, but never failing to fire into houses where | Jews, sometimes to thé number of a | hundred, were making a stand against | their assailants. The soldiers =aid the Jews were revolutionists and that was their excuse for firing upon them. The authorities, who wahted to do some- | thing to stop the massicres, were, with | the police and troops in open sympathy | with the mob, utterly powerless. | Although it is freely charged that | the higher authorities of Bialystok de- |liberately organized the massacre, or, if this was not the case, that it was Drive Jews From H‘iding Places by prevent further outbreaks have been | On all sides in Bialystok there is re- | of their superiors to put an end to the | ment had to be thrown into the city REPORT Of the Sondition of ‘Wells Fargo Nevada National Bank OF SAN FRANCISCO | At San Franeiseo, fa the State of Californis, at | the close of business, June 18, 1908.

OAKLAND, June 20.—The Svea of Sweden and the Agricultural of New York have withdrawn from the ranks of the “six-bit” companies. . These corporations, represente by Edward Brown & Song, 418 Ele{enth street, Oakland, have decided to' ad- just and settle their losses on their merits, and not to abide by the hori- zontal cut of 25 per cent for which sixty-one companies voted last week at Reed Hall. C. A. Hjelm, foreign secretary of the Svea, is here and gave material assigt- ance to the Pacific managers in their work of showing that the “six-bit” stand was, to say the least, unpopuar. “The Agricultural has paid out 70 per cent of its individual policy-holders’ claims.
