STILL COMBINING
Oakland Insurance Men In Consultation With
Underwriters


Underwriters
San Francisco. March 15.-Oakland in
surance agents are in consultation with
the Board of Fire Underwriters regarding
the proposed formation of local board.
their idea being that the general board
should regulate rates but not interfere
with the subject of compensation to
agents, the Oakland agents being placed
on similar footing with those in San
Francisco.
They want to be paid 20 per cent COM
mission and 8 per cent extra where they
occupy their own Offices with the right to
be paid either commission or salary when
they are exclusively the agents of one
company. The executive committee OF
the Board of Fire Underwriters now an
ticipates an adverse decision in the case
of the Continental Insurance Company
against the board, and with this end in
view they are bending all their energie
to bring the local boards. which had been
formed in SO many cities, into the COM
bine.
The. fact that these outside insurance
men do not wish to be forced into the
rate war is helping the board in its
efforts, as it will check the guerilla war
fare here if the representatives OF nom
board companies elsewhere can be kept in
line with the ideas of the combine.

Detectives
San Francisco, March 15.-For several
days a detective has been trying to find in
this bity Henry Stewardt for whom a for
tune is waiting. Stewardt was well known
along the water front in 1870, and in No
vember of that year he is known to have
been living here. He was on board the
ship Isaac James when she went to pieces
off Fort Point in 1876. AS no lives are
supposed to have been lost in that wreck
it Is presumed that Stewardt is still in the
land of the living. AS he has not been
seen since the Isaac James sank, it is
thought by some of his friends that he
must have persisted with the ship. Stew
ardt is a native of Denmark, about As
years old. A considerable sum is ready
to be turned over to him whenever he can
be found. Inquiry has been made for
him at all the sailors unions on the
coast, but without success.

ON POLITICAL LINES
How the American Railway Union Will Work
In Future

Spokane. WASH, March 15.-Eugene
Debs, President Of the American Railway
Union, lectured tonight before a big au-
dience at the Auditorium. He declared
his conviction that strikes could only re-
suit in failure, and that henceforth the
union will work along political lines.
There can be no permanent or satsfac-
tory solution Of this railroad question, -
he said. until the Government takes pos
session of the railroads and runs them in
the interest of the people. Our recent OK
periences have demonstrated that defeat
is inevitable. just as soon as strike is
inaugurated disturbances will occur.
Courts will then be applied to; injunc
tions and mandamuses will be issued. and
the leaders will be arrested and thrown
into jail. / tell you strike cannot sue
coed when it is against the United States
Government.

The suit Is to compel the payment of n

OF merely the defendants admissions and
an allegation that the warrant was not
