tanned his information from the COM
pany's local adjUsters, the Milwaukee
concern filed a petition in the courts
that virtually amounts TO a suit, ask
ing that the company be made a trus-
tee Of the fund. This would take the
fund out of the Insurance Commits
sioner's hands and place il in the
treasury OF the company, with the sole
condition that the money be distributed
10 the pOlicy-holders pro rata.

President to Attend Home Fire and
Marine POIicy-HOlders' Meeting.

W. ]. Dutton, president of the Fire
mans Fund and the Home Fire and
Marine Insurance companies, will make
a statement of the affairs of the two
corporations at a meeting of policy
holders at GIL Laguna street tomorrow
afternoon.
Il have only to say that the lack
of salvage and the uncertainty re-
garding the amounts of reinsurance
to be received made it advisable to dis
continue the taking of business for the
Home Fire and Marine Insurance Com
pany," said President Dutton yester-
day. The Fireman's Fund Insurance

to install water mains on all OF the

These mains are to be for fire use only
and will have hydrants at intervals OF

PAY SANTA ROSA LOSSES.
Settlements Have Begun of Claims
From the Sonoma City.

OAKLAND, July 24.-Many of the
seventy companies involved in the
Santa Rosa fire losses have begun this
week to pay their liabilities in the So
noma County town. The earthquake
and fire conditions that attended the
destruction in Santa Rosa have been
thoroughly investigated by the adjust
ers and managers of the companies in
terested, and the information collected
has been compiled.
Attorney T. C. Coogan. who has been
the legal adviser of the fire underwent
ers' adjusting bureau since its forma-
ton over three months ago, says that
he believes that practically all of the San
Francisco losses in which more than six
companies were involved and which
risks were taken up by the bureau and
assigned to subcommittee for adjust
ment have been reported to the bureau
for assignment. The total number of
such losses is about 1900. Attorney
Coogan states that almost one third
of these risks have been investigated
and reports made on them to the bu-
reau.

Harris today decided against the petit
ton of Mrs. Della Walker, who asked
to be granted a family allowance OF
$50 a month out OF the estate OF her d.

from him nine years previous TO HIS
death. Judge Harris held that she was
not entitled to any OF his estate nor to
a family allowance. The estate 10 VAL

NEW ZEALAND SENDS AGENT.
Secretary Minnitt Comes to Investigate
the Insurance Situation.

c. F. Minnitt, secretary Of the New
Zealand Fire Insurance Company, has
come to San Francisco from the home
Office of his company to make a gem
eral investigation of conditions in this
city.
II have no special mission here" said
Mr.. Minnitt yesterday. II will look
over the ground carefully. The New
Zealand is paying its losses on policies
that do. not contain the earthquake
clause. On those that have such clause
we are doing nothing yet. All the gen.
eral offices of foreign fire insurance
companies have, naturally enough, sent
representatives to San Francisco to
inquire and report. The losses were 30
large and the circumstances such that
this was to be expected"

Returned Home with Returni ng
Health.

All the people of Abbeville will be
glad to hear that Mrs. Joe Wilson Is at
home again from hospital, with every
indication that her health may he re-
stored. She has long been a sufferer,
and on a previous occasion she felt so
discouraged that she asked to. be dis
missed from the hospital. She wanted
to come back to Ahbeville, even if she
had but an hour to live. She wished
to spend the last of her time with the
people to whom she was 80 much at
tached. But another time in hospital
seems to promise the best results. Her
cheerful disposition and her love for
cheerful and happy young people have
endeared her to many, and all who
know her have. sympathised with her
in her af1iction and rejoice at her good
fortune in the prospect of restoration
to health.
