Their patience exhausted with waiting

action for the redress OF their grievances

of a number of the aggrieved members

PayIng Insurance Claims.

Forty-ive OF the 1870 odd insurance COM
panies involved in the San Francisco dis
aster had by the first of this month paid
an aggregate Of 1866. 400 on their losses
there. Several OF the larger companies are
not included in the list, so that the actual
payments to date considerably exceed SlO0,-
10000, and this is not the end of the dis
bursements. San Francisco has thus al
ready received more than double the total
amount of insurance paid to Chicago on
account OF the great fire of 1871. The
Golden Gate city certainly has no reason
to complain OF the general character Of its
insurance protection. The number of COM
panies which have fallen down" on their
contracts there is not to be mentioned be-
side the array Of those which toppled over
under the Chicago blow.

During the nrst four or five days after

could get no money from the banks. a
great number went to the railroad officials

They insisted upon paying eventually, but
had nothing to give at that time, but their
written promises to pay as soon as they
could reach their destinations. The Of

The Commissions Control.

How far the commission retains control
is summed up briefly in this way:
All engineering work affecting construc-
ton, including surveys, and the general di-
rection and control OF construction work
with the right to inspect Il all; municipal
engineering, including the construction OF
water works sewers. roads and streets
wherever located; construction and main
tenance of buildings needed for the work.
living quarters and mess houses; the de-
partments of government and police, sanl-
tary and hospital commissary auditing
with the right to direct the manner In
which accounts are kept, and inspect the
same; materials and supplies department.
operation of the Panama railroad. and, in
general, all rights and privileges not spe-
cifcally coded TO the contractor.
This describes the lay Of the land" in
a general way. The contract drawn up by
the commission has much more in the way

Vigilance Committee

An attempt was made last Saturday to
organize a vigilance committee patterned
after the famous organization which res
cued San FraL cisco from the clutches of
outlaws in the early days. Unfortunately
the initiative was a pubic meeting which
the authorities succeeded in dividing into
factions. Less public methods are now being
pursued, giving assurances of effective
work. The police force seems To be ut
terly helpless. In fact the force il
charged with standing in with criminals
and prohting by crime. That there 10
basis for the charge Is shown by the ar
rest Of a policeman in the act of rifiing
the pockets of a man who was about to
undergo an operation in the police emer-
gency hospital.

TROUBLES OF STRICKEN CITY
Epidemic OF High Crimes and Terrorism in
San Francisco.
POLICE AND COURTS HELD RESPONSIBLE

Refugees Redeem Their Promises
-RebuiIding Chinatown on
OLD site.

San Franciscos troubles have broken out
In a new quarter An epidemic of crime
prevails in the city and in Oakland, calling
forth extraordinary efforts to protect life
and property. Highway robbery is COM
mon in daylight as well as nighttime, with
the Accomplishments of murder, garroting
and assaults. Since August ! a total Of
seventy-four crimes were reported. OF this
number eleven were murders, twenty-eight
highway robberies and ten burglaries.
1.-THE reign OF terror" says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, calls for an uprising OF
the people. The city is infested with
known criminals who do not work but are
we'll supplied with money. Brutal robber-
les occur in broad daylight. and in crowded
streets. Vinainous faces are everywhere
in evidence. Neither man nor woman feels
safe out of doors after dark. They hardly
feel safe at their own flresides.'
Roasting the Judges.
Francis ]. Heney, the prosecutor OF the
Oregon land fraud ring, is out in an open
letter to the press on the disgraceful state
of affairs existing in the stricken city.
He says over his own signature:
Under the deplorable conditions exist
ing today in our Inflated city. II becomes
the duty of every man to protect his
mother. wife and sisters by doing his ut
most TO elect judges who will put a stop
to the carnival of crime now prevailing
in our midst, so that it will at least be
safe for women to remain at home in the
daytime and to walk upon our public
streets in open daylight, even in the out
lying districts of the city.
Judges, like Caesars wife, should be
above suspicion, and any man occupying
judicial position who so conducts him
self as to lose the confidence of the MEM
bers of the bar generally, and cause them
to suspect his integrity, ought to be kept
from further defiling the bench. A man
and when we find Superior Judge Cook
and Police Judges Conlan and Morgan
supported by every gambler on Fillmore
street and every professional crook and
keeper of dives, we should stop and in
quire why IL Is.
"If they conducted their criminal courts
in the interest of good government and
at all times endeavored to voice the law,
they would inevitably have incurred the
enmity and opposition of the vicious and
criminal element, instead Of arousng the
support OF such people. We cannot ex-
pect to control crime in our city unless
we elect judges who are anxious to Sc
cure the respect and confidence of the de-
cent element in the community, rather than
the friendship OF the vicious and depraved."

Newspapers and Hotels.

Running a newspaper is just like
running a hotel-only little diff
ferent. When a man goes into a
hotel and finds something on the
table which does not suit him, what
does he do? Does he get up and
tell the hotel man to stop his darned
old hotel? Well, hardly. He simply
sits that dish aside and wades into
some other of the many dishes that
do suit him. 1t is different with
some newspaper readers. They
find an item occasionally that does
not suit them exactly, and without
stopping to think that it may please
hundreds of other readers, make a
grandstand play of their insanity
and hasten to the Office to stop their
DaDer.

TO KEEP SIDEWALKS CLEAN.
How a Kansas Town Stopped the
Splitting Habit.

The motto Make Olathe a good
place to live in" was adopted a
/ few years ago under Mayor Hodges
administration, says an Olathe
(Kan.) correspondent of the Kansas
City Star. At the request of the
women's clubs of Olathe an ordin-
ance was passed making Il a
violation of law to expectorate on
sidewalks or in halls or public
places. Large signs, Is by IS
inches, were placed in public places
throughout the business portion of
the city. One was nailed on a
telegraph pole just in front of the
bank of Olathe.
Ten to fourteen feet wide cement
sidewalks are in front of all bust
ness property surrounding the
square, and before this ordinance
was passed and these signs placed
around the square it seemed to be
the delight of careless and filthy
persons to spit upon and so cover
the walks that women were almost
compelled to walk around. This
brought forth the action of their
various clubs, followed by the
passage and enforcement of the
ordinance by the board of health.
Notably the first violator was
big careless young farmer who al
ways spat on the white cement
sidewalks just the same as if he
were in a barnyard. Two and
three times a week he would come
to town with much regularity,
The city marshal arrested him al
most under the shadow of a sign.
The sign was pointed out to him.
He was finally released without a
fine, but he was so badly frightened
he was not seen in Olathe again
for six months. Other arrests
have been made, but those arrested
have been released for the first
ofense. The effect is splendid.
are spotless and clean
as floor. The board of health
under Mayor Ogg is just as vigilant
now as when the ordinance was
first passed.

The twelve negro soldiers who

outrage against Brownsville are
now safely held prisoners at Fort
Sam Houston, and the one dis
charged soldier who is also believed
to be implicated is also a prisoner
at Fort Brown, all awaiting the ser
vice of civil process to be turned
over to the civil authorities for
trial. While these men are I'M
doubtedly only part of the &C
tually guilty ones, yet it is believ-
ed that they were all implicated in
she crime. But the thing now is to
convict them Are we prepared to
do It? 1t may be that the district
attorney is in possession OF evi-
