Griffin, a park ref- ugee, yesterday afternoon. When pur- sued by Policeman Williams the child stealer flung the baby to the ground and made good his escape. Shortly after 2 o'clock, while Mrs. Grifin_ was absent from her tent in camp 7 in Golden Gate Park, her little one wandered away. Neighboring chil- dren saw a strange man pick up the child and walk toward the Chutes with her. They immediately gave the alarm and the frantic mother ran to the po- lice station for ald. Policeman Williams was detailed to find the child. He beat the shrubbery in the recreation ground for an hour Lefore he came upon the kidnaper. The man saw the approach of the patrol- man and, tossing the little girl aside, ran out of the Sixth-avenue entrance to the park and disappeared on an east- bound Fulton-street car. The child said the strange man had offered her candy to go with him. She alarmed when she got farther from her home. Her little arms were bruised by the miscreant’s strong grasp. The police have a good description of the man. They belleve he intended to hold the babe for ransom. —_— Enemy Shoots Butcher's Steers.

One name of George Finnegan, who is held by Kuhls & Schwarke, who have a written lease. The board could not decide upon the rightful lessee, but wiil try again next week.

Milton S. Nathan's application for a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of Har- rison Boynton was denied yesterday by United States Circuit Judge Morrow. The petition recited that Mr. Boynton, a farmer of Solano County, 79 years old, | was, on November 20, 05, confined | 19 without due process of law in the State | Asylum for the Insane at Napa and that he was there kept Incomunicado by Elmer E. Stone, the superintendent of that institution. The return to the application for the vrit shows that on November 18, 1905, Etta F. Boynton, whose relation to Boynton is not disclosed in the papers, swore to a complaint charging him with insanity; that a warrant of arrest was issued on the same day by W. W. R. Reeves, Justice of the Peace of Sui- sun Township, Solano County; that on November 20 I J. Lenahan, deputy sheriff, arrested Boynton and on the same day Superior Judge L. G. Harrier committed him to the asylum, after Boynton had been examined by Drs. W. G. Bransford. Personal. — - 3 J. A.

Aug. 16. — Chester university sopho- more, son of A. S. FYarsons, a well ‘known citizen of Berkeley, lies dying at Roosevelt Hos- pital as the result of hardships endured during a walking trip. through the mountains from Berkeley to Bodi Mills, Nev. Typhoid fever and pneumonia at- tacked him when he lay at the mills, half dead, as the result of privations. He was sent back to his home by mem~ vers of the Masonic fraternity, of which his father is a prominent mem- ber. B Young Parsons started with Wood- worth Ryder, also a university student, for Nevada on June 1. The boys took but little food with them, as they ex- pected to kill game en route. After reaching the high levels past the Yo- semite Valley they encountered deep snow, the heaviest in years. The game had fled to the lower levels. The trav- elers tramped on in snow walst deep. Their provisions scarcely kept them alive. When they reached Bodi Mills they were prostrated and slept like dead men for two days. Ryder escaped fllness. Parsons was attacked. 'The fever and pneumonia now have him close to death’s door, and there is lit- tle hope that he will survive. —_—— ‘Would Lease the Vendome.

ENGLISH-AMERICAN UNDERWRITERS” AGENCY TO THE PUBLIC: In the Evening Bulletin of the 10th instant there was published over the signature of Messrs. Tobin & Tobin, attorneys for the Hibernia Savings and Loan Society, a statement as to the settlements by the above named companies of their San Francisco losses. > The companies are not clear as to the motives of Messrs. Tobin & Tobin in publishing this statement, as there has not at any time been any difficulty between any of the members of their firm and the undersigned, and the com- panies are therefore forced to the belief that the publication referred to was of their clients or the clients of the bank. And it may be that the bank represented by Messrs. Tobin & Tobin, having, we believe, established an agency for the collection of claims against the underwriters, has experienced difficulties which would not have been encountered if it and its attorneys had sought only the protection of the bank's interests, and that the irritation arising from these possibly unavoidable difficulties has produced a condition of mind on the part of Messrs. Tobin & Tobin which had to find some kind of relief, and hence the published communication referred to. Be this as it may, their statement as a presentation of facts is wholly incorrect. Taking up the statements of Messrs. Tobin & Tobin seriatim, we make the following reply thereto and ask'the careful consideration of the public and particularly of the patrons of these companies to the facts: 1. “The above named companies,” say Messrs. Tobin & Tobin, “represent that they are well able to pay San Francisco losses in full.” This representa- tion has been made and states the fact. But while it is true that the com- panies are able to pay in full, been mre against them for more than the actual losses suffered. And be- cause of these exaggerated demands it has been found necessary to carefully examine into the merits of all claims presented. In these examinations the companies are working at great disadvantage under unusual conditions, and acting as collecting agent have met with delay In securing an adjustment of their losses. In view of the fact that the companfes’ commitments in San Francisco reach nine and one-half milllons of dollars it is not at all sur- prising that this should be so. 2. The next statement of Messrs. Tobin & Tobin is that the local managers of the companies have resigned because of the practices adopted by our ad- justers to evade the payment of the companies’ liabilities. In relation to this it is only necessary to say that in adjusting their losses the companies have reserved to themselves the right to carefully examine into each claim and to }reluse payment thereof in full in all cases where they know that they are entitled to a reasonable reduction. It is weil known by all persons having a correct understanding as to the situation here that there was a very large amount of earthquake damage preceding the conflagration, for which the underwriters are not liable. In the presentation of claims this character of loss has been generally ignored by the insured, and the companies have not seen their way, in justice to their stockholders, to recognize and pay the face of demands upon ‘them without some deduction to cover this class 3. “The attormey for the adjusters has stated within the last week that they (the companies) have not adjusted a single loss.” say that this is an intentional misrepresentation, but it is certainly impossible that any such statement could have been made, as the fact is that with the close of the business day of August 11th, 1906, the companies had adjusted 1209 claims and had paid thereon approximately $3,000.000. Of this large amount, aggregating nearly one-third of the total of loss claims against the companies, over $117,000 has been paid to the Hibernia Bank, a fact presumably within the knowledge of Messrs. Tobin & Tobin, and in addition to members of the Tobin family upon their loss claims theretofore adjusted over $62.000. The next statement of Messrs. Tobin & Tobin is that the companies have knowingly denied all lability for clalms on which their liability was beyond question, and that by persistently adhering to their fraudulent state- ments they have frightened policy-holders into accepting from 50 to 90 per cent of the amounts due them. It is difficult to understand how reputable -and supposedly conservative lawyers could have made such a statement as this, for it is absolutely without foundation. The fact is that out of the several thousand claim: presented there are not over six instances in which liability has been denied, a the understanding of the companies that there was good ground in each every one of these cases for this action. It is, of course, impossible that Messrs, Tobin & Tobin, without having before them the information upon be in a position to determine whether they were or were not, in fact or in law, liable, and that they should make this sweeping statement indicates a recklessness that is not easily understood. The statement that the companies in denying liability have frightened policy-holders into accepting from 50 to 90 per cent of the amounts due them is without any foundation whatsoever. The truth is that up to the present date the-maximum salvage from all sources made by these companies 3?0:‘]:}31 (lh? claims presented and paid is not equal to 10 per cent of the face claims. 5. “By reason of their practice the Hibernia Savings regards their (the companies’) new p. nd Loan Soclety cies of insurance as of doubtful value and will therefore refuse to accept the same ns security for its lomns.” We, of course, regret that Messrs. Tobin & Tobin should take this position in regard to these companies, but certaln it is that our adjustments of claims under policies payable to the bank will be only after proper examination into the merits of the demands, notwithstanding this action upon the bank's part. In other words, these companies will not for the purpose of reinstating them- selves in the good graces of the bank refrain from examining into the merits of claims to determine whether or not the losses equal the amounts claimed. The bank would, of cour: method of adjusting losses, bu would long continue to exis that property owners desirin t no company conducting its business in this way t. It is also to be observed in this connection g insurance are not necessarily under obligation to borrow from the Hibernia Savings and Loan Society and that loans can be obtained from other banking institutions which are satisfied with the policies of these companies as security therefor. Insurers are not under any obligation to borrow from the Hibernia Bank, and we venture to suggest that there is something childish in this method of attempting to get even Wwith these companies because Messrs. Tobin & Tobin are displeased with the companies’ insistence upon a careful scrutiny of the merits of claims presented 6. “As attorneys we cannot counsel the acceptance of less than the amoun: legally due from these companies.” The publication of this statement would seem to have been uncalled for. With the advice that Messrs. Tobin & Tobin may see fit to give clients calling upon them therefor we are not concerned. Their statements just quoted would, however, seem. to be addressed to the general public, by whom, so far as we are informed, they have not been retained, and as to whom it is to be presumed those holding policies in these companies can and probably will obtain the advice of their own counsel. To what has already been said we deem it proper to add the following: Some several weeks since the Hibernla Bank, through Messrs. Tobin & Tobin, proposed that all claims In which the bank might be interested should be taken up and pald on a basis of 95 per cent!of the face of the claims. This proposition was not accepted. Thereafter adjustments as between the com- f{-‘“"e’ and their various insured was proceeding in usual course and smoothly. hen a representative of the Hibernia Bank injected himself into the adjust- ments as between the companies and those having policies payable to the bank. As we are informed, the bank makes charge for preparing proofs and collecting claims against the underwriters, and it was our understanding that this representative of the institution had charge of this branch of its business. An effort was made by the companies to reach adjustments with this gentleman, but his manner of handling the claims intrusted to him finally became so_offensive that the companies’ adjusters declined to deal further with him. Policy-holders whose claims were in his hands returned voluntarily and asked to have their claims disposed of on the basis suggested by the companies. Subsequently Mr. Joseph Tobin called upon us, a tentative agreement was reached to the effect that claims in which the bank was interested should be adjusted and paid, without further inquiry into the merlts of the claims, at 90 per cent of the face thereof. The companies were prepared to live up to this agreement and in fact made payments thereunder. One of these was in favor of Mr. R. C. Tobin and others inter- ested with him. Later Mr. Joseph Tobin wrote us a letter, withdrawing from this arrangement, which was offensive in tone and, in the judgment of the companies, without justification, and this letter has been followed up|by the published tirade against the companies of Mr. Frank S. Brittain, one of the bank’s attorneys. It is, of course, impossible to reply to the attacks of dissatisfled policy-holders because we are not informed in relation thereto. We beg leave to submit, however, to an unprejudiced public that counsel who will so recklessly make charges such as those we are criticising against companies which for years past have promptly met all their losses upon this coast are not entitled to the full faith and credit that would justify any policy- holder in following their advice. It does not occur to us that the communica- tion of the attorneys for the bank requires any further notice. CHARLES HENDRY, Attorney in Fact.
