QUAKE CLAUSE
TOB TESTED
AT ONCE.
First Action in Which Joker
Is Made a Defense VIII Be
Heard by Judge Kerrigan

= UDGE KERRIGAN will hear the
first insurance case involving the
earthquake clause. This was de-
~ cided upon yesterday by Presiding
Judge Graham, after a conference
with the Superior Judge who will try
the case. Which suit will be taken up
first has not been decided yet.
Already there are 100 or more in
surance suits in the Superior Court. all
OF which involve the question of
whether the earthquake clause, as it
is commonly known, will serve as
bar to the collection of policies writ
ten with this clause as a part Of the
contract.
There will be as speedy settle
ment Of this question as possible" said
Judge Graham. 1T will be the policy
of the Superior Court to bring about
a decision at an early date. We will
consult with the attorneys who are
interested in some of the suits that
have been brought and ascertain which
one of the actions is ready for trial.
Judge Kerrigan will try the first
case, and 1t is expected that the suit
will be ready for trial the middle of
next week"
William M. Hoag commenced suit
yesterday against the Girard Fire and
Marine Insurance Company to recover
$4,000 on a policy held on the Pendle-
ton, at Sutter and Leavenworth streets.
The loss is estimated at $4,000 and
the total amount Of insurance placed
on the building was $4,000.

THINKS FREE TRADE
IS NECESSARY.
General Buchanan Says
This Country Must
Help the Philippines
ARRIVES ON LOGAN

The possibilities OF the Philippines
are great, but they will never be de-
veloped until the United States
Government grants the islands the
privilege of free trade with this
country" This is the opinion ex-
General James A. Buchanan, United
States army, retired, who returned
from the Philippines on the army
transport Logan.
General Buchanan has been sta
toned in Samar, where he performed
valuable service in quelling the num-
erous bands of outlaws infesting that
province to the sore discomfort of the
peaceful native inhabitants. He thinks
the recent trouble with the Pulajanes
a matter Of small consequence and no
indication Of any general unrest. The
Pulajanes, he said, have only about
sixty rifles and usually confine their
raids to the native settlements. Oc-
casionally, when a favorable oppor-
tunity offers, they will attack native
troops for the sake of securing am
munition. They have a wholesome re-
spect for the American soldier, and
give him a wide berth. General Bu-
chanan compares these outlaw out
breaks TO the Indian troubles in this
country, and believes that before long
the outlaw tribes will be broken up
and rendered harmless.
The question of developing the
agricultural resources of the Philip
pines, in General Buchanans opinion,
is the real problem in the management
OF the islands. He said:
The resources of the Philippines
are without limit, but under present
conditions there is little to encoura ge
their development. Take the sugar in
dustry. for instance. China and Japan
now take virtually all the sugar raised
in the islands. The buyers have no
competition and make their own price.
AS a result the sugar grower gets only
about one-third the market value for
his product. Free trade with the
United States would mean freedom
from the thralldom of Oriental buyers.
China and Japan would probably con-
tinue to take the sugar. but with the
market in the United States open to
him the planter could insist on getting
the feir market price. This would
mean general stimulation throughout
the Philippines and would make little
difference TO this country.
1T would be the same in other lines
of industry, and I believe that when
this country grants the Philippines
free trade, a privilege to which the
islands are entitled. Americas trans
Pacific territory will prosper, and not
before"
General Buchanan was retired about
two months ago.
Major Z. E Wilcox. who was post
commander at Jolo during the Moro
outbreak which terminated in the
famous Dajo crater fight, was also a
passenger on the Logan.

6 CASE
IS SLEEPING.

A week ago last Friday Steve Law
renee. special officer at the Chutes, ad-
ministered a terrible beating to w.
Kingsley, steward of the Chutes Cafe.
After nearly killing his victim the spe-
cial made an attempt TO place a charge
Of drunkenness against him. Lieuten-
ant Kelly of the Park police station
discovered that Lawrence was the
drunken one and at his instiEation
Kingsley swore to a warrant charging
his assailant with assault with a dead
ly weapon.
Lawrence's actions after he had con-
Quoted a careful investigation. In it
he strongly recommended that the
authority vested in the special be re-
voked by the Police Commission. He
stated that he was convinced that the
assault on Kingsley was a cowardly
and unprovoked deed.
According to the natural course of
events the charges made by the police
lieutenant would pass to the captain
of the district and from him to the
Chief of Police, whose duty it would
be to bring the matter 10 the attention
Of the Police Commission. Since the
fling Of Kelly's report nothing has
been heard of the case.
On the night of July IS Lawrence,
Kingsley and several actors from the
Chutes were drinking in saloons near
the Chutes. According TO the stories
of witnesses Lawrence became intoxi-
Gated. Kingsley passed an idle jest
about Lawrence's failure to buy" Tho
remark did not at the time arouse the
specials ire and nothing more was
said. About 4 a. m. Kingsley broke
away from the crowd and started down
Fulton street to his home.
At Eighth avenue Lawrence, who
was following, felled him to the ground
with his club. Unable to- defend him
self against the man with a black jack
Kingsley staggered TO his feet to get
away. He was knocked down repeat
edly by Lawrence and believes that he
would have been killed had not an old
man who was passing interfered.
Lawrence TOOK Kingsley to the Park
police station to charge him with
drunkenness. There Lieutenant Kelly
saw that the special was the intoxi-
Gated one and refused to allow him to
place a charge against Kingsley.
Lawrence was arrested the following
day. His bail was placed at $3.50 but
for some unknown reason was after
ward reduced to $50 by Police Judge
Cabaniss. The ease, like Kellys re-
port. has as yet received no attention

APPRECIATE WORK
Of k|L|AN.

Retreat has been sounded at the
Moulder School warehouse and the
army train of a regiment is hauling
away the supplies destined ultimately
for the relief of San Francisco's refu-
gees. Where boxes and bales have
been stored children will stand next
week to recite their lessons; the emer-
gency has passed and the old school
Will be rededicated to the cause of edu-
cation. The relief supplies are being
taken to the general headquarters of
the relief committees, located at Geary
and Cough streets.
Yesterday afternoon the many en-
ployes who have worked under Captain
]. n. Kilian, u. S. A, at the Moulder
warehouse. demonstrated their appre-
citation of the treatment they have re-
ceived at his hands by presenting him
with a beautiful gold watch. The
teachers of the Moulder School were
present and added their testimonial to
that of the employees by presenting
Captain Kilfan with bouquets of flow
ers, saying: This is in appreciat ton
of your kindness to us and we ask you
to accept the same with the best wishes
Of all you have so favored" Captain
Kilian's appreciation was beyond re-
sponse.
The gold watch, the gift of the en-
ployes, was presented by ]. Brown, who
opened. 1t is beautiful timepiece, and
engraved inside the lid is the follow
ing: Presented to Captain j. n. Kilian
from the employees of the Moulder
warehouse. July %, 1906" In pre-
senting the watch Mr.. Brown said:
When San Francisco was stricken
with one of the greatest disasters that
this world has ever known: when the
cry went out for relief throughout the
length and breadth of the land, the re-
sponse was so great that 1T taxed the
railroads to their utmost capacity in
hauling these supplies to this city, and
the amount was so great that 1t was
almost impossible to find buildings
large enough to store them in. 1t was
about this time that this building,
which is known and designated as the
Moulder School. where the young are
being educated in the different walks
OF life was secured. You were called
upon to take charge; how we'll you
have performed that duty none can
.estify better than those who have
been working side by side with you
But we feel that our labors are about
to be brought to close. Soon we will
be called to other vocations in life
while you to other fields of duty, and
we thought that it would not be out
of place at this time to present to you

Adjustments by British Earthquake
Companies May Mean Compromise.

Policy holders of the Norwich Union
Insurance Company and the companies
represented in the Mullins agency in
Oakland are anxious concerning the
policy that will be developed by these
companies during the present week.
The Norwich Union will open an
adjusting agency in the Montgomery
block in this city tomorrow. The other
companies will remain in Oakland.
Many have understood the position
of these companies to be that they alb
solutely. declined to admit liability for
losses In this city because an earth
quake took place April IS. The open
ing of adjusting agencies may mean
that some sort of a compromise will be
sought with policy holders.
