Company admitted this afternoon that his company was making a 25 per cent horizontal cut in its cash settlements. *“‘There is no use beating about the bush,” he said. “The Aachen and Munich does not intend to pay more than 75 cenis on the dollar to anyone. We do not try to conceal this from the public. We maintain that there was earthquake damage and our pictures prove the truth of this. We talked the whole situation over and de- cided that in fairness to the policy-holders we could make a 25 per cent cul. This is the position we are standing on today and the posifion we in- tend {o maintain in regard to all our San Francisco losses.

They arrived there about seven o'clock in the evening. They were then under the| influence of liquor, boldly provoked quarrels and engaged in boisterous conduct.

After a tigld catechising of several young men who were picked up in the camps of refugees about Golden Gate Park the sleuths rtéd out on a still hunt for four young men Who are supposed to have knowledge of the crime. The suspects are believed to be occupying tents in a camp site not | far from the park. It is expected that they will be taken into custody and put through the “sweating” process. Last night the detectives interviewed several young friends of Hoffer, but nothing was learned. The lads, named respectively Joseph Fibbs, Rudolph Rody, George Campbell, Robert Gray. Albert Prince, Richard Johnson and Heck Brody, stated that they had been with Hofer on Saturday and Sunday nights. When they left him Hofer went into the Davis T ter.
