Get Out OF Business.
In the name of the city of San
Francisco and the state of California
demand has been made upon insur-
ance companies that are accused of
trying to dodge their obligations for
a full settlement with the people of
the city. A telegram signed by
Mayor Schmitz and Governor Pardee
has been sent to the home offices of
the 81 companies that voted in Oak
land to cut all payments of losses %
per cent The exact contents of the
telegram are kept secret, but it known
that the message is virtually an ulti-
matum and a warning to the concerns
addressed that they must deal fairly
and honestly with the San Francisco
public or be driven from California.
Before the message was sent it was
submitted to Insurance Commissioner
Wolf, who gave it his entire approval.
A number of companies that hold
large amounts of reinsurance in other
concerns would sign stipulations ex-
tending the time for filing proof
of loss were they not prohibited
from doing so by the reinsurance COM
panies. They have conferred with
Commissioner Wolf and explained the
plight in which they find themselves.
They have been warned, they say, that
they will run the risk of losing all
their reinsurance if they yield to any
demand of the insurance commits
sioner. The Royal Exchange company
has arranged with the commissioner
to have a published extension of time
accepted by him instead of the stipula-
ton demanded. This extension is
until September 1.

dent Roosevelt Signing the State
hood BilI-PeopIe of Arizona and
New Mexico Take a Vote Wnethe.
They Will Come in as One State.

Another star was added to theUnion
Saturday, when President Roosevelt
signed the bill admitting Oklahoma and
Indian Territory as one state. The
measure also provides that Arizona
and New Mexico may be admitted to
statehood as the state OF Arizona, pro-
vided the people of the territories
vote in favor of admission on the
terms submitted by congress.
The signing of the bill was made
the occasion of an interesting cere-
mony. Senator Beveridge and Repre-
sentative Hamilton, chairmen of the
senate and house committees on ter
ritories, who have worked long and
hard for the measure, were present, as
also were Delegate MCGUIRE of Okla
homa and a number of residents of
Oklahoma; Delegate Andrews of New
Mexico, Secretary Loeb and others.
Just before the president signed the
bill Ambassador Speck Won Sternburg
of Germany was ushered into the Of
flee, and he, too, witnessed the cere-
mOny.
The president used two pens in sign
ing the measure, writing the first
name. Theodore" with a solid gold
pen presented by the people of Ari-
FONT; his family name, Roosevelt,
with an eagles quill taken from an
eagle in Oklahoma After signing the
bill the president congratulated Sena-
tor Beverage and Representative
Hamilton on the completion of their
long and arduous labors in connection
with the measure. He also expressed
the hope that the people of Arizona
and New Mexico would avail them
selves of the opportunity to come into
the Union as state. From every
viewpoint, he regarded this as the
wise thing for them to do, as the
opportunity might not come again in
a score of years. The president said
he has a personal interest in the ad-
mission of Arizona and New Mexico
as many of the members of his regi.
ment, the Rough Riders, resided in
those territories.

LADRoNE LEADER sURRENDERs

to His Senses.

to His Senses.
Macaro Sakay, self styled president,
and Francisco Carton, vice president
of the Filipino republic, has surrender
ed at the constabulary headquarters
in Manila. The military and civil au-
thorities are much elated as Sakay
was chief of ladrones in LuzOn, and
his surrender means an end of the
campaigning in this section.
The surrender of this ladrone chief
tain was accomplished through the in
fluence of Villafuerte, former Off
cial of Sakay's government. The act
ing chief of the constabulary con-
ferred with Villafuerte two months
|agO and when the latter gave himself
up he promised to use his influence
with Sakay to persuade him to sur
render He met Sakay in the provinces
recently for long conference, which
resulted in the latter's surrender.
Il surrendered" said Sakay, "be-
cause fighting is an uphill game and
the Fillipinos will never succeed in
gaining independence until they show
themselves worthy of it. There is
nothing to be gained by opposing the
Americans
His surrender is regarded as the
most important since the close of the
insurrection. Sakay is an educated
Filipino and after giving the American
authorities much trouble in and
around Manila, proclaimed himself SUI
preme head of the republic with head
quarters in the Tagalog islands, form
ed large staff and issued commits
sions to generals and other officers.
He went into the provinces three
years ago and started campaign of
robbery and general depreciation. A
reward of $1,000 was offered for his
capture. Sakay fought several bat
ties with the constabulary and was
twice reported killed, but always
eVaded arrest

KIDNAPER LANDS In PRISON.
Stolen Child Was Returned After a
Weeks Detention.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 20.-After q
weeks confinement in an unteEanted
house. subsisting on bread and milk,
and suffering from exposure, little
Freddie MLth, the year old boy who
was abducted week ago, has beenIre-
turned to his home.
His abductor, John J Kean, is in
the city Jail, and bis trial is to be rush
ed by the loacl authorities.
John j. Kean,t he kidnaper of little
Freddie Muth, was once a prosperous
broker, who was respected in the tusi-
ness world, and whose word could com
mand moderate amount of capital.
My few years ago he was happily.
married ard is now the father of three
bright and interesting children, the eld-
est not yet as old as the boy he stole.
Then. few years ago, there entered
upon the scene woman. For her the
prosperous broker neglected both his
business and his family, until the form
er went to ruin and the latter was
brought to the verge of actual suffer-
ing.
. In an effort to recoup his fallen for
tunes. Kean entered the real estate bus
mess. and here his ability placed him
on the high road to prosperity.
But his income would not suffice for
the maintenance of his family and the
household of the other woman as we'll,
and he began classifying his accounts
and embezzling rents and moneys which
he had collected for his clients. His
dishonesty was discovered by man
named Cooke, whom he had represent
ed ever since his entrance into the real
estate business, and for whom he had
handled large sums.
Cooke was not only a client, but q
friend and benefactor of Kean, even
providing him with free house for
his family. When he discovered the
dishonesty of the man he had befriend-
ed he did not at once cause bis arrest,
but instead went to him and informed
him of what he had discovered and
gave him June IL, to make good the
embezzled money. On Saturday, June
9, Kean wrote to Cooke from Palmyra,
N. J. stating that either Tuesday night
or Wednesday he would return the
stolen money, which amounted to less
than $12 It was in order to get
the funds to pay this obligation that
Kean kidnapped Freddie Muth.
