Oakland Attorney Declares Earthquake Clause Does Not Free Companies. H. A. Sherwood, an Oakland attorney, formerly an insurapce adjuster, hol that the earthquake clause in the fire insurance policies that were issued to cover logses in this city raises a ques- tion that has never been before the c for a decision. Mr. Sherwood quotes the substance of the earthquake clause, which provides that “the in-| gurer s #ot be responsible for loss ed directly or indirectly by inva- , earthquake, insurrection, riot or war, by explosion of any kind fire ensues), or the bursting r hurricane or lightning,"” age by lightning may be specific agreement. vs -that the question < the insurer intended to provide for loss caused by fire ex- e of the -thquake or intended exclude an from fire resulting n the earthquake.” 1 also say s provides that the Insurer 1iable for lpss by explosion ensues, and in that case only for loss which the fire causes; it also provides that the insurer shall not be liable for loss by lightning, but there is no questiop whatever that what the insurer is liable for loss bi; light- g when fire ensues, whether the icy contains the lightning clause or n po. not. The policy being a contract of in- dem only, covers the interest of the insured in the property and not the | propert self. The term “proper insu ance as used in a policy of insu he interest of the insured. r exclusions such as lightning losion, contained i the policy r to that of earthquake, whic the courts throughout the United States b eld to be loss by fire. 1 will not believe that the courts will constru the most flagrant case of the fire loss portion of a structure of the contents t eof in any other light than loss or age by fire. To do so0 would be to ke flesh of one and fish of the other. and exp flar REPORT IS DUE MONDAY.

Fololwing in the track of the-National Credit Men's As- soclation, that adopted resolutions con- | cerning the action of delinquent {nsur- |ance corporations at a recent meeting at Chicago, the ways and means com- mittee of the Chlcago Commercial As- soclation, a large and influential body, has prepared to institute an inquiry concerning the attitude of the under- writers doing business in San Fran- | etsco. | A copy of resolutions adopted at a ‘lale meeting of the Chicago Commer- cial Assoclation has been received by Secretary Burks of the Chamber of Commerce from Thomas J. Stacey. These resolutions demand & prompt and | equitable settlement of San Francisco ‘nre losses and declare that such action is of vital importance to the San Fran- | cisco policy-holders and to the business | world in general. Stacey also suggests | that all-the commercial bodies in the | United States are interested in seeing | that fair play is accorded to San Fran- | eisco. | Following is the text of the Chicago | Commercial Association resolutions un- | der consideration: Whereas, A prompt and equitable | settlement’ of the Ban Francisco fire | losses is a matter of the most vital im- [ portance to the San Francisco policy- olders and to the business-world in | general; and |~ Whereas, Intelligent and organized publicity will be a powerful incentiv to the insurance companies to ma] prompt and equitable settlements; therefore be it Resolved, That the executive director of the association be and hereby is re- quested to secure from the leading commercial organizations of San Fran- ciseo the names of the insurance com- panies that are making prompt and equitable adjustments of their San Francisco losses and supply such names to the members of this association. Fifty additional loss committees were appointed by the committee of fifteen | at the adjusters’ bureau of the board | of underwriters yesterday in the ferry | building. The committee of five re-i cently appbinted at a meeting of the| “dollar for dollar” companies was in | evidence. This fact was consldered by | the insured as well as the insurors to| be of speclal interest. Whatever the| differences of opinion that exist among the insuring companies, no break in the | customary procedure took place. There | was a rumor that a disagreement was impehding and that a climax was about to be reached. Possibly the agency of the committee of five appointed by the “dollar for dol- | lar” companies may be sufilcient to sgt | aside the conditions that have made appointed yesterday the total number of such committees is now more than 1300.

MELROSE, Mass, July 8.-—Mrs, Mary Kinney Sterling, wife of Rev. Paul Sterling, rector of Trinity Church, and known during the civil war as the idol of the Union troops at New Orleans, died today. She had been ail- ing for a long time. When the war broke out Mrs. Sterl- ing's father, Nathan P.. Banks, who | was Governor of Massachusetts from | 1858 to 1861, and who was Speaker of the House. of Representatives in the thirty-fourth Congress, volunteered for service in the army. While in com- mand of the Union troops at New Or- leans, General Banks had his little 10- year-old daughter at his quarters. Most of her time was spent among the troops, with whom she became so pop- ular that she was known as “the idol {of the camp.” 2 —— PIONEER'S WIFE DEAD. Mrs. Isanc Dixon, Who Came to State in 1553, Summoned. SAN JOSE, July 3.—Mrs. Catherine Dixon, wife of Isaac Dixon, a ploneer of '49, dled this morning at 283 North Twelfth street. Mrs. Dixon was born ‘from NDVELIST A OF HIS DENTH Démise of Rev. S. Baring-'G_ou_ld. ‘ Labor Leaders Talk of Inspiration From Books, : SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE OALL, LONDON, July 8.—To be ‘made the subject of premature obituary notices Is by no means a unique experience nowadays. Several more or less fa- mous men have been reported dead one day, only to be publicly resurrected the next. But to go through such an experience and then refuse to read any of the obltuary notices certainly con- stitutes a unique clatm to distinction. The Rev. 8. Baring-Gould has earned it. The death of his cousin and namesake in South Africa caused the report to be published all over the country that the voluminous author had passed away, and every daily newspaper of any con- sequence followed the announcement with a review of his life and work. Instead of availing himself of the opportunity afforded to see himself as others see him, Mr. Baring-Gould de- clined to read any of the numerous bio- graphical notices that were sent to his family by press-clipping agencies. “I have,” he says, “inclosed the whole set unread in an envelope, sealed it up and put it aside with my will to be read or burned when I am no more.” He shows himself to be a very differ- ent type of man to the first Lord Brougham, who was so anxious to find out what the newspapers thought of him that he put in eirculation a false rumor of his death, with results hardly flattering to his vanity. A London newspaper offered the vet- eran cleric $60 for a critique of his obituary notices. The tempting offer was declined. Se also did he the sug- gestion of a benevolent society that he should make a liberal contribution to its funds as a thank offering for not being dead as reported. Though the living he occuples fis worth only $1000 a year, he was sur- prised to discover how many curates there are eager to take advantage of his decease. His wife was inundated with letters from enterprising drapery firms anxifous to supply her with wid- ow's caps and mourning costumes. But the oddest of all communications he re- ceived was one from a tradesman who congratulated him on his resurrection and sent him a new patent razor which he wishes to introduce. “Does -he want me to try it on my throat,” says the novelist, “that I may elicit another. series of obituary no- tices?” Mr. Baring-Gould is 73 years old, and has been wriung books for nearly half a century at the rate of something like three a year.. The obituary notice writ- ers have almost unanimously praised several of his novgls, and their sale will undoubtedly be greatly stimulated. In this way the genial old man will reap a substantial reward from the prema- ture announcement of his decease. LABOR LEADERS AND BOOKS. Beveral labor members of Parliament have been telling what books helped them most in thelr early carers. John Burnes obtained his first stimulus a translation - of Voltaire's “Charles XIL" a second-hand copy of which he bought for two cents. It taught him to cultivate physical hardi- hood agd Indifference to extremes of heat or cold. He credits John Stuart Mill with having done most to make him a Socfalist by his failure to refute the arguments of the Socialists. F. W. Jowett says: “The book which (1) made me want to read was ‘Ivan- hoe’; (2) led me to think and reflect was ‘Past and Present'; (3) made me a Socialist was ‘Unto This Last.’"” John Ward, the strenuous and elo- quent navvy, writes: “When I was first taught to read the Bible was my chief sourge of inspiration. ‘Pligrim’s Progress’ comes next. The first book that struck my imagination was Scott's ‘Ivanhoe,” which I read when about 12 years old. About this time I devoured —not read, that's too tame an expres- slon—'Robinson Crusoe.'” With Stephen Walsh “from very early years Shakespeare has been a prime and cohstant favorite. Falstaff, Brutus, Mark Antony, Cassius, quaint old Dogberry, and t tender, half-pet- ulant yet innocent old Verges—all these have been almost living realities with me. The first book I ever bought was ‘Pllgrim’s Progress,’ over thirty- two years ago, though I was then a Roman Catholic.” T. Burt acknowledges that the great- est literary Influence of his youth was Channing, particularly his essays on Napoleon, Fenelon and Mllton. Kelr Hardie was most impressed by his mother's Scotch songs and Wilson's “Tales of the Border,” which is the first ' book he remembers reading. RARE VOLUMES FOUND. There has just been brought to light one of the most important literary dis- coveries of modern times. In a library in Ireland, which was recently inher- ited by an Irishman, there was found seventeen of the rarest English pre- Shakespearean plays. Thelr owner had no idea of their great value, but some- body advised him to consult & London authority. Then he learned to his amazement that these long neglected volumes were worth more than all the rest of his inheritance. Historically these old plays are more valuable than those of Shakespeare, for they glve a clearer idea of England's literary growth, from its rise to the date of the master dramatist. They in- clude moral plays, interludes and com- edles, several of them being unrecorded editions. Among the most important of them are two well-preserved copies of the first and second comedles to be written In the English language, namely, Nicholas Udall's “Ralph Rol- ter Doighter,” the first issued anony- mously in 1566, and the “Ryght, Pithy, Pleausant and Merie Comedle: Inty- teled Gammer Gurton's Nedle." Still rare are an unrecorded edition of John Bale's early sixteenth century morality play, “Here Begynneth the Enterlude of Johan the Bvangelist,” and the excessively scare first edition of “The Ninth Tragedie of Luclus An- naeus Seneca” (called Octavia), trans- lated out of Latin into English by T. N, (Thomas Luce), student in Cambridge, and the only known edition of the un- recorded “Newe, Mery and Wittle Com- edie or Enterlude, Treating Upon the Historle of Jacob and Esaw,” 1568. RELICS UP AT AUCTION. The great London literary auction room s a magnet which sooner or later draws to it the relics and reminders of great men. One day comes a frag- ment of proof of Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” on another the family Bible of Burns, and anon is dumped down the anvil of the inspired tinker, John Bun- yan. Next week many Interesting me- mentos of men who have won fame in various fields are to be sold. Probably the most Interesting of them is the chair in whjch Goldsmith wrote his beautiful idyll, “The De- serted Village.” It is of generous pro- in Hessen Cassel, Germany, in 1833. She came to San Jose in 1853 in a sail- ing vessel around the Horn. She leaves a husband and seven children, all re- |siaing here { portions, made of oak and covered with tapestry. It is fitted with & writ- ing desk, adjustable for reading also it has stationery and pen and inl drawers and candle sconces as well.

ALTOONA, Pa, July 8.—A runaway mine car, flying down a mine branch track that runs from Puritan to Port- age, just before midnight reaped a frightful harvest of eleven men killed and several injured. The car had been left standing near Puritan when the mines closed last night and some ma- licious person loosened the brakes and permitted the car to speed down the snarp incline. The disaster happened on what is known as Martin's Branch, a stretch of track four miles long, that acts as a feeder for several mines that are lo- cated between Portage and Puritan. TRAIN IS DEMOLISHED; NOT A PASSENGER HURT Wieck & Seratoga Limited Dué to the Mistake Made by a Switch Tender. BALLSTON, N. Y., July 3.—The Sara- toga limited on the Delaware and Hud- son Railroad, the flnest and fastest passenger train running between Sara- toga and New York, was wrecked in this village early today. Although the train was demolished, not a passenger was killed or injured. The train left Saratoga at 7:40 o'clock with twenty passengers and a crew of seven men. At the north end of this village the Schenectady electric rail- way connects with the steam railway, and when the limited approached at the rate of fifty miles an hour the switch tender made a mistake and opened the switch, thinking it was the locel train to be sidetracked. The entire train leaped from the track. The engine parted from the train and landed in a ditch on its side. Engineer Ed Crane and Fireman Wil- liam Flannery stayed at thelr posts and were not injured. “The four palace cars followed the track for a few feet and then overturned and went into the ditch. The fact that the engine parted from the train and went to one side pre- vented telescoping and probably saved a score of lives. Engineer-Crane said that the signals| were set right for his train. It is be- lieved that the switch was turned just before the train reached the junction. MILLION-DOLLAR ESTATE MAY G0 T0 SCHOOLS Officials Claim to Have Ewi- dence Knocking Out Alleged Heirs. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. SEATTLE, July 3.—That John Sulli- van, the deceased pioneer, was not the son of Peter and Alby Sullivan nor Cor- | nelius and Johanna BSullivan is the startling statement made by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Prigmore in afi- davits filed in the Superior Court this afternoon on behalf of King County, which 18 claiming the Sullivan estate. Through one of these two couples all of the alleged heirs of the Sulllvan prop- erty trace their relationship to John Sullivan. If the county can prove, as Prosecuting Attorney MacKintosh and his deputies believe, that John Sullivan was not the son of cither of these couples, then none of the present claim- ants has a shadow of a title and John Sullivan's property will go to the common school fund of King County for lack of heirs. The estate is valued at more than a million dollars. DASHING BOSTON WIDOW QUICKLY WEDS ON DARE Mrs. Grace Adams Luker Becomes | the Wife of a Clubman of Colorado Springs. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. DENVER, July 3.—Mrs. Grace Adams Luker, a dashing Boston widow, would not pass a dare, and hence is Mrs. Wil- llam H. Ryer, wife of a prominent Col- orado Springs clubman. Both attended a function last night. During the con- versation Ryer sald he was going East, Mrs. Luker remarking jestingly, “Wish I could go along." 4 “You may,” sald Ryer. “How?" she asked. “As my wife,” he replied. Embarrassed, she did not know what to say. Quickly Ryer sald, “I dare you to become Mrs. Ryen" She would not be bantered and he called'a minister, and they were mar- ried before the guests at the function. They left for Chicago today. e STATEMENT OF CONDITION OF SAN FRANCISCO BANKS Comptroller of Currency Reports on Natlonnl Concerns at Close of Busidess on June 18.
