THE INSURANCE COMBINE.
Manager HiIlman Denies That COM
panieS Are Withdrawing.

During several days past there has been
considerable talk on the street that the in
surance combine of the Pacific Coast was on
the verge Of disbanding. that many of the
members could not agree on number of
important questions, and that a number of
companies were about to give the necessary
thirty days notice of withdrawal from the
combine.
1t was stated that business would be con-
siderably enivene1 by the cutting of rates,
which would result from a dsSo luton of
the combine. AS II is now, when a house
is insured the combine fixes the rate, and
this holds good for all the companies be-
longing 10 it, Hence the rustlers and soie-
itors do not do the business, it is claimed,
that they ought. 1t is merely matter of
friendship and acquaintance with the man
insurng, for it makes no difference with
which solicitor he does business. as the
rates are all the same.
John X. Hllman. prominent member Of
the insurance combine. was asked yesterday
II there was any truth In the rumor Of the
dissolution Of the combine.
None that l know of" replied Mr.. Hill
man. Some time ago the Northwestern
sent in letter Withdrawing from the COM
bne. The Northwestern was followed by
the Phoenix aud Home Company, which
has always stated that If any one company
withdrew from the combine it would be the
second 10 withdraw. Recently, however,
both these companies have returned to the
combine and have Cancelled their letters of
withdrawal. have not heard OF the New
Zealand Company Withdrawing, as the
rumor has IL.
"As far as the arguments about the rus
tiers and solicitors are concerned, l do not
think they would be much benefited by the
breaking up of the combine. 1t is now
case Of survival of the est"
Nv hat WDulu ba ne affect nj dissolu-
ton OF the combine 2" was asked.
There would result" replied Mr.. Hill
man. "a lively cutting of rates on desirable
property, but do not think any great war
would ensue. On undesirable property
like planing-mills, livery stables, lumber
yards and the like the cutting would be but
slight. and those companies which wanted
to make big cuts on this kind of property
could take the business if they wanted it
and stand the risk.
You may say 1t is all nonsense that the
Insurance business is dull and that this Is
one reason why the combine is about to
break up. The insurance. business during
the last year has been unusually brisk
among the combine belonging to he firm.

there may be in the combine, L see no rea-
son why it should Dissolve"

KELLY BROS. ARE ATTACHED.
Large Numbers of Creditors Close In
on the Market-Street Firm.

on the Market-Street Firm.
An attachment for S22,653 was levied yes
terday morning on the dry-goods store Of
Kelly Bros. 947-949 Market street, by
Charles r. Ravens, bookkeeper for Murphy,
Grant 81 Co., and assignee Of the firms
claims.
Ravens was also assigned claims for
Sachs Bros. & Co., Kahn Bros, Klein g.
Neustadter Bros. Bauer Bros. and Schweit-
ger & Co. A. Heynemann is the attorney
for the assignee.
The failure of this we'll known firm
caused much CONSERVATION in business
circles and was varlously commented upon
by the prominent commercial lights of the
town.
Apprehension was the more universal
from the fact that only few OF the firms
creditors had come TO the front, and no one
could speak with any degree of accuracy as
to either the liabilities or assets of the
bankrupt house.
The brothers. John r. and Phillip G..
Kelly, began business In a modest establish
ment over twelve years ago IN Sixth street.
at that time the boys were started in life
by their father. who was drayman and
had laid by neat sum to aid his sons when
they should need assistance.
The brothers were ambitious and ener-
getic, and it was not long before the little
store was outgrown and a larger one was
necessary.
Similar good fortune accompanied the new
venture, and their ambitions rising with the
possibilities that seem TO present. Sixth
street itself became too small.
Somewhat over year ago the firm of
Sullivan, Burtis 81 Dewey failed. and Kelly
Bros bought their stock and charging the
store opened up business at 947 $40 Market

got off the car. She handed the boy her
purse, which contained SIS. and told him to
get the oysters and go on home and she
would soon follow This the boy did. and
that was the last seen Of the girl.
The stepfather. when he heard the BOYS
story. started to find Miss James, but with
out effect, aId the police were notified.
Mr. Stallard said he knew Of no reason
for the girls disappearance. There was
nothing to cause her any une asiness in her
home. She always appeared pleasant and
happy and was usually bright and viva
days, when her appetite failed and she be-
came very nervous.
The managers Of the Singer company say
that for the five years she was employed
there she always conducted herself in a
manner calculated to win the respect and
confidence of all connected with the estab-
lishmeDt. and she was considered the most
competent Of all the employees in her special
department. She had never had any trou-
bic and never kept company with gentle
men. Her young brother was always her
escort whenever she went to the theater or
elsewhere.
When last seen Miss James wore dark
velvet hat, black jacket, with gray fur
trimmings, a black sateeD skirt and thin,
low shoes. She was "a years of age, of
English parentage, dark complexion, about
5 feet inches tall. and Of very slender
build.
There is strong suspicion that she has
committed suicide. but none can conceive
OF any good reason why she should do So
unless her mind had become unhinged
through illness. The police say that no sui
eide or attempted suicide has been reported
TO them.
In 1914 stays were introduced In to the
costumes OF gentlemen to keep the doublet
straight and confne the waist.

All thr.igh the forenoon and afternoon

There were good many inquiries of ex-

it should make so great difference in time

looked the shorter.

Miss James lived with her mother and
stepfather, NJ. Stallard, at 720h Lott street
and was employed as Instructor by the
Singer Sewing Machine Company. Her
work was very hard and tedious, and her
mother says that during the week previous
to her disappearance she became very ner-
vous from overwork and was advised 10
take rest. Last Saturday she gave up her
situation, but seemed very respondent.
That evening she, with her small brother,
rode down on the McAllister-street car as
far as the ferry and. leaving the boy stand
ing at the ferry wharf, walked along East
street. saying she was going to call on a
lady friend. She came back to her brother
in about an hour and went home.
All day Sun day she seemed much excited
and in the evening expressed desire for
some oysters and, with her brother, took
the car downtown for them.

OTHER SHIPS OVERDUE.
High Rates of Insurance on Several
DELAYED Vessels,


1t was stated yesterday around the Mer-
chants Exchange that the marine insur-
ance men had offered rate Of 10 per cent
on the City of Picking.
The delay of the City of Picking has called
renewed attention in shipping circles to
several other vessels which are now overdue
at this port.
The first of these is the Ena, British
ship OF 256S tons, which is now 165 DAYS out
from Cardiff. She is consigned TO Girvin,
Baldwin 81 Eyre. The trip from Cardiff to
this port ordinarily takes from l25 10 100
days. This makes the Ena about thirty-fiye
or forty days overdue. Insurance on the
Ena is about 20 per cent.
Another vessel which is long overdue is
the British ship Horesfeld, now III days out
from Liverpool. She is consigned to j. d.
SpTeckels 81 Bro. and Is about forty DAYS
overdue. The rate of insurance on the
Horesfeld is said to be about 80 per ceut.
A third overdue ship is the parkentine

letter to his wife be stated that he was

Perhaps some Of our readers
void like to know in what respect
Chaimberlains Cough Remedy is
better than any other. We will
tell you. When this remedy is
taken as soon as a cold has
been contracted, and before it has
become settled in the system, it will
counterfeit the effect Of the cold
and greatly lessen its severity. and
it is the only remedy that will dc
this. 1t acts in perfect harmony
with nature and aids nature in re-
leiying the lungs, opening the Sc
cretions, liquefying the mucus and
causing it's expulsion from the all
cells Of the lungs and restoring the
system to strong and healthy con-
'dition. No other remedy in tho
market possesses these remarkable
properties, No other will cure q
cold so quickly. For sale by Ell. f.
