all over the Pacific Coast States. Under
the new regime, however, he is to be local
agent of the corporation on com mission
basis.
This means that the general manager
ship of the Fire Association OF Phliadei-
phia, in San Francisco, will be abolished,
if, indeed, it has not already become a
thing of the past.
The abolition of a general office carries
with it the reduction or large stan OF
clerks and other insurance men, all trained
in their special departments; also the re-
ducrions of office accommodations, or more
likely the dispensing of the whole plant
and employees. 1t is simply contrac-
ton OF business expenses, and methods
under unfavorable conditions such as nave
prevailed for some time past IN the local
fire insurance field, since a rate war de-
moralized profits.
The last general Office to be withdrawn
was the very considerable one OF the Con-
tinental Insurance Company OF New
York, shortly after that concern had pur-
chased the old Pacific Bank building for
its Pacific Coast headquarters. Mr. Ber-
thau's company follows, making him the
local agent, as the Continental did for j.
d. Maxwell upon retiring its general man
ager.
The Fire Association of Philadelphia is
an important American company with
assets of So, 500 600, and it did fair busi-
ness on this coast. Quite recently j. M.
Beck, it's former general manager here,
was transferred to the Chicago office, there
to be assistant general manager. The
moving of Mr.. Beck is said to have been
the first step in the change that took

SAUSALITO, CAL. Aug. 21.-Jogging

homeward bound at an early hour this
morning from Larkspur. He had trans
acted his business satisfactorily, had en-

ing back once in while to his friend,
Marshal Greed, who was in buggy be-
hind him.
They had just reached the summit of
the hill by Alto station, when two men
jumped from the side of the road and, in
loud tones. ordered Sylvia to throw up his
hands, at the same time covering him
with their guns.
Sylvia can use pistol himself, but there
was no time, and he complied with the
request quickly.
The two robbers, however, had no
thoughts Of Creed. the sturdy Marshal of
Sausallto, who. as soon as he saw his
friend Adolphus' plight, jumped from his
buggy, pulled his gun and covered the
two men in turns. They gave in at once,
were handcuffed and marched To San
Rafael, where they now lie in durance

they are named Jones and Anderson,
and belong to this county. They claim
their action was joke and that they were
camping close by, but probably the joke
was played on the wrong person.
The total cash, on Creed and Sylvia only
amounted to 81 Is.
