INSURANCE COMBINE.

Los Angeles, July 1S.-An attempt is
now being made to organize all the
fire insurance agencies in the city into
the Los Angeles Underwriters Asso.
citation. The object OF the organiza.
ton is to prevent rate cutting and to
inGure a uniform scale OF commissions.
Each agency is asked to post $500 as
a guarantee that It will abide by the
rules OF the governing body. Two OF
the "non.board" companies are stand.
ing out, and a RAE war is imminent.
1t was stated today that unless these
companies fall in line, fire insurance
rates may be cut over 80 per cent in
the near future.
The movement to organize the Los
Angeles agencies originated with the
Pacific Coast Underwriters. Some OF
the 'non-board" companies have been
cutting rates in places and granting
extra commissions. To stop these in
fractions of the underwriters rules, II
is thought to organize all the local
companies In a hard and fast organi.
cation. The prospect Of a rate war
is the lever used to force outsiders into
line. The committee on organization
is composed OF four men, Horace Whee
Ter and r. b. Stevens represent the
/ board" companies, and Il. ID. Silent
and Leslie Grey represent the mon
boarders.' They are trying to reach
an agreement that will avoid the rate
war. 1t is stated that the results OF
the committees efforts will be evident
| by August LIST. Most fire insurance
agents believe the local Organization
will be formed.

Hospital, this city, on May 18th, leav-
ing $4,000 in cash, has been solved.
His real name was Salem Charles, and
his home was atBrimfield, Mass.
The story of the search for heirs by

SANTA f Will NOT
BUY OCEANIC LINE

Chicago. July 1G.-The tracks and
property of the Santa Fe Company
from Chicago to the Pacific Coast are
now owned and controlled by one COM
pany. A circular was issued today by
The company announcing the purchase
of the Santa Fe Pacific and San Fran
cisco and San Joaquin Valley. which
will hereafter be operated as the coast
lines of the Santa Fe road.
1t was stated in President Ripleys
Office that the change was made to
simplify management and boOkkeep-
ing. II was asserted that the Santa
Fe previously owned all of the stock
and bonds of the two companies and
that the purchase meant simply pass
ing of title of deed. II is understood
the change will not affect the operat-
ing departments nor the Official lists
of the absorbed companies The change
will. however. permit the Santa Fe to
decrease its accounting force material.
| ly. The organization will also be more
compact and better fitted for the oper-
alton of the big railroad system.
There is little doubt that the Santa
| Fe is negotiating for the purchase or
control of the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany. which operates line of steamers
/ between San Francisco, the Hawaiian
Islands. Tahiti and Australian ports.
The company is owned by John d.
! Spreckels and his associates. The
capital stock of the steamship company
is $500, 900, and It is bonded for about
an equal amount. At present the com.
pany is being operated at loss.
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1902-07-30

The persistent rumor that the Santa
Fe intends or is endeavoring to acquire
the ownership or control of the Oceanic
Steamship Company is emphatiCally
denied by Santa Fe officials. who would
be conversant with the facts IL deal
was pending. Captain A. II. Payson
assistant to the president Of the Santa
Fe. Assistant Traffic Manager W. A.
Bissell and General Manager A. G..
Wells of the Santa Fe coast lines all
say that the story is without founda-
ton. One of the officials, when Ques-
toned about the matter. said:
You can POSITIVELY say that the Santa
Fe has not the slightest idea Of &C.
Quiring control of the Oceanic Steam
ship Company or Identifying itself with
the company in any transaction or ar.
rangement now In existence. II would
be folly for the Santa Fe to take over
the Oceanic Company when 1t is being
operated at big loss, particularly
when our company has an advantage

be improved If the railroad owned the
steamship line"

A REMARKABLE TEST.

The Independent Roofing and
Paint Company, of Syracuse, New
York, demonstrated the heat and fire
resisting qualities of their product on
Market Square Saturday evening be-
fore a tremendous audience. Early
in the afternoon, a miniature house,
constructed of pine was placed on
Market Square. Upon ore side Of
the little structure was a bill an
nouncing the proposed test. This
gave it thorough advertising, and
when the hour for the test arrived,
the street was congested with people.
1t seemed as though our entire popr-
laton had congregated on the Square.
After a few explanatory remarks by
T. A. Gould, representative of the
Company, the little house was moved
out into the center of the square,
surrounded by lot of straw, pine
boards, and other inhammable ma
terial, saturated with keresone, and a
match applied. Instantly the flames
shot heavenward, until they reached
heighth far above the house tops.
For fully twelve minutes the fire
ragged, and the house was allowed to
remain in the seething mass, when 1t
was removed by means of long iron
hook. AS a matter of course, the
paint was scorched and bllstered bu,
the wood was uninjured. Under
ordinary circumstances, there woulo
have been nothing left of it. The
demonstration was satisfactory in q
high degree, and fully sustained the
CLAIMS of the Company that the pain
will not burn.

A New Saw Mill at Jamison City

The Keystone Lumber Company,
says the SuLliVan Re0ieao, is building
a large saw mill, 47xI54 feet, at Jami-
son City, on the site of the one des-
troyed by fire about a month ago.
The woodwork of the dam was also
Damaged to such an extent as to re-
quire an entire new breast to be
built. The mill, which is the third
one erected at that place-the first
one being burned about three years
ago-will be fitted out with all the
latest improved appliances for per
forming its work, and will give EN-
ployment to about forty men. The
Union Tanning Company, at the same
place, gives employment to abou,
sixty-hve men and are turning out SIS
sides daily. They have extended theil
railroad about two miles into the
forest.

OPPOSITION AT RUPERT.
4 Few Property Owners at This Point Are De-
laying the Progress Of the DanviIle
and Bloomsbug Trolley Line.

The benefits and advantages of a
trolley line must be apparent to every
enterprising and progressive citizen,
and yet there is a handful OF property
owners at Rupert who positively re-
fuse to grant any concessions to the
Danville and Bloomsburg Electric
Railway Company, and as a result
work on the line is being delayed.
That Danville is anxious for the con-
s,ruction of the road is very evident
from the following excerpt from the
Danville Morning NeaUS of Monday:
"The residents of Mechanlcsville
and East Danville are becoming quite
impatient over the delay in beginning
work on the new trolley line to con-
meet Danville and Bloomsburg. The
opposition, it appears, has now been
reduced to FIVE property owners.
Whether these will be able to hold up
the construction of the line or not re-
mains to be seen. The promoters, it
seems, have discontinued their labors
on the route for the present, but it is
hardly likely that they are ready yet
to abandon the project.
The trolley, which now connects
Bloomsburg and Catawissa, has In
vested the entire locality between the
two places with an additional charm.
Especially is this true OF Rupert, the
beautiful little town, which will form
the terminus OF the line projected
from this place. The cars have been
running every twenty minutes since
Memorial Day.
From the aqueduct at Rupert to a
point opposite Catawlssa the trolley
follows the towpath. This stretch o.
some two miles lying at the foot OF
the frowning bluffs which flank the
river, with the broad sweep of the
water and the mountains beyond in
full view constitutes one of the mos
charming and picturesque bits o.
travel in the state.
Rupert anticipates boom in build
ing. 1t is indeed charming place
admirably situated on two railroads,
and with the trolley now an acom-
plished fact it has about all the ad
vantages desirable. What the trolle,
has done for Rupert it would do fo
this city and for every mile OF the
distance between here and Rupert
1t IS indeed unfortunate that the line
should be held up single day by any
opposition"

ANOTHER DISCOVERY
Bcrwickians Have Sense OF EIaton Over
The Discovery OF Coal In Salem
Township.

The Berwick hdebenaent finds
cause to rejoice over the recent dis.
covery Of coal in Salem township,
Luzerne County. 1t speaks as fol-
lows:
"Through a deep valley in Salem
township, Luzerne county, runs
stream known as Warmers Creek, by
the side of which lives Alexander
Warner, aged seventy-three years, and
his family. Last spring the water de
scending from the hills, burst the
roadway water pipe and, entering
Verner's Creek, caused it to leave its
accustomed channel and tear open a
new one. When the water subsidized
Mr.. Werner discovered the outcrop-
pirgs of vein of coal.bearing slate.
Assisted by Joseph Walton a veteran
prospector who knows the lay of the
land and by some of his neighbors, he
set to work to dig for coal.
The rock slants at an angle of
forty-fve degrees. The vein of coal
bearing slate which was ten inches
thick at the surface is now four feet
thick at depth of twenty feet, and
the proportion of anthracite coal TO
slate is constantly increasing. The
head of Verner's Creek is up in the
notch in Knob Mountain. The hol-
low extends up towards Shickshinny
and connects with the river road at
Iona, distant three miles. Mr.. Wal
ton, an uncle of our townsman, un-
dertaker Walton, has discovered
traces Of coal in many springs along
this route. Here we have the blue
clay, the blue slate and great boulders
of conglomerate rock,
There may or may not exist an
immense vein of the mammoth Goa
in this locality. Indications encour.
age further prospecting. A railroad
down through the hollow would be
easy to grade, and if this should prove
to be the outcrop of such vein o
coal no person lives who can predic
accurately the tremendous boom /
would give to Berwick, the proper
tions to which our town would grow
nor the good that would accrue to th'
people OF Salem township"

Will Make all Effort to Have Summers
Pardoned.

Application will be made to the
Board of Pardons, at Harrisburg, on
July I6. for the pardon of George
Summers, who was found guilty in
the court Of quarter sessions of this
county of causing the death of Well
ington Hartman, and who is serving
a sentence OF eighteen months IN the
Eastern Penitentiary. The applica-
tion is being made by William Chris
man and Grant Herring, attorneys
for Summers.
Petitions for the granting of the
pardon are being signed by members
of the bar and by the jurors who rem
dered the verdict.
The reasons assigned for making
the application are that Summers has
served a part of his sentence and that
the punishment is sufficient for the
offense.
Wellington Hartman, who resided
in Cooper township, was killed on
Sunday night, May S, 1901, in a run
away caused by collision with bug
gy and horse being driven by Sum-
mers. He was dragged distance of
a bundled feet, by his frightened hor-
ses. Summers and companion,
Miles Sassaman, we're driving from
this city to Bloomsbury when the col
lision occurred. They hired the horse
Sunday morning in Bloomsburg and
drove to Catawissa and then to Dan
vile.
They were placed on trial last Sep
tember and were convicted of volun-
tary manslaughter. Sassaman was rec
commended, to the mercy of the court.
His sentence was two months impris-
onment, which he has served. Sum-
mers was given sentence of eighteen
months in the Eastern penitentiary, of
which he has served six months.
The attorneys for Summers will ask
for the pardon on the ground that the
night the accident occurred was dark,
that the horse was hard to manage
and that the defendant was unable to
control it. This will be set forth to
show that the death of Hartman was
accidental and that the defendant has
been in prison long enough to serve
the ends Of justice.-Dan57He Meas,
