SPECIAL CLASSES
GET Low RATE.
Clergymen and Others May
Enjoy Half Fare on Rail
ways Until January 1
SENDS OUT NOTICE

Acting under the advice of Chief
Counsel William F. Herrin the South
ern Pacific Company has sent notice to
the railroads of the United States that
1t has adopted a more liberal construc-
ton OF the new ratio law in regard to
passenger rates than the Eastern roads.
Until January /. 1907. when the new
law positively goes into effect. 1t will
give .half-rates to members OF the
clergy and their families, employees of
the reclamation service, officers OF the
army and navy, officers of the British
army and navy, teachers and pupils of
Indian schools. disabled soldiers and
sailors and inmates of national homes.
The reduced rate to officers of the army
and navy will be given only when such
officers are travelling on their private
business. At other times the Govern
ment is supposed to pay their fare. This
reduction may be done away with at
any time upon the giving of thirty
days notice
1t is expected that the Southern Pa
cif1c connections, the Hartman lines,
will take similar action Immediately.
There has been much discussion among
railroad attorneys as to whether the
provision of the law governing special
rates to certain classes of people went
into effect on August % of this year
or becomes effective on January 1. 1907.
The Eastern railroads have taken the
position that the law became operative
In August, but Chief Counsel Herrin Of
the Southern Pacific has decided that
January l Is the time. Other provisions
OF the rate law, however, are effective
at the present time.

Judges Kerrigan, Trout and Hosmer
Will sit In bank next Friday at p. m.
and hear the argument in the cases Of
Baker & Hamilton the McNicoll Ele-
vator Company and Walters VS.. the
Williamsburgh City Fire Insurance Com
pany.
The question involved in these cases
is the scope of the earthquake clause
In the Williamsburgh City policies. 1t
VIII be remembered that shortly after
the flre the Williamsburgh City Com
pany denied liability under its so-called
Earthquake" policies and instructed
Its attorneys, Notwithstanding that 1t
thereby incurred a forfeiture OF Its
right to do business in California. to
remove all cases brought against 1t in
the Superior Court involving more than
$4,000 to the Federal Court.
The ground of the liability was
that under the terms OF its policy 1t
was not liable for losses which resulted
proximately or remotely from the
ferred to each involve less than $1,000,
and hence they could not be removed
to the Federal Court
The plaintiffs in these cases contend
that the position of the insurance COM
pany is untcnable, that the earthquake
clause does not absolve the company
from liability for losses caused either
feilioteiy OF ln0lreclly Dy the edrtn- :.
quake.
The construction of the earthquake
clause arises upon demurrers to the
defendants answers filed in the cases
referred to. If these demurrers are sus-
tanned by the court 1t will mean that
Judgment will be in favor of the plain
tiffs.
The result In these cases will virtual
ly decide also the liability of the Nor
wich Union and Indemnity companies
the policies of which contain precisely
the same clauses as the Williamsburgh
City policies. Although at first the
Wflliamsburgh City declined to pay
anything, 1t has been effecting settle
ments recently by paying half of the
amount of its policies In some districts
and three-quarters in others. The Nor
wich Union and Indemnity companies
are following the same course.
Several other companies whose poll
cies contain substantially the same
clause as the Williamsburgh City. Nor
wich Union and Indemnity are paying
their losses without regard to 1t.
L. A. Redman will appear for the
plaintiffs and Van Ness & Denman for
the defendants.

WITNESSES ARE CALLED IN
ITALIAN FORGERY CASE
soiomena Says a Power of Attorney
Was Filled In Over His sigma
fure ON SHEET tof Paucr

The trial of John Di Ryana and At
torney Carlo charged with having
forged the name of Pasquale Solomena
to claim for insurance on a policy in
the Hamburg Bremen Fire Insurance
Company shortly after the fire was be-
gun yesterday in Judge Lawlor's court,
the jury having been drawn Monday.
Solomena testified yesterday that after
the fire Carlo came to him and asked
for q. power of attorney to collect the
insurance on Solomenas cabinet works
at North Beach. Solomena refused to
give this, but claims that the defend
ants, by pretext, got him to sign his
name near the bottom of blank sheet
of paper and then filled in power of
attorney above 1t and, forged his sig
nature to another paper relating to
the insurance claim. They are alleged
to have settled the claim on a basis of
90 per cent, taking $1,000 in settlement
Of a $4,000 policy. They went to New
York, where eXtradition papers were
served on them. Several other wit
nesses were called yesterday. The case
will be continued today.

TRANSATLANTIC LOSES AGAIN.
Agrees to Judgment Against 1t In Four
Remaining Suits for $4,000.

The Transatlantic Fire Insurance
Company, btrnited, of Hamburg. Ger
many. threw up the sponge yesterday
in the United States Circuit Court and
consented that Judgment should be en-
tered against it for $4,000, with inter-
est and costs, in the four suits to re-
cover the amount of policies on build
ings consumed In the April conflagra-
ton. The plaintiffs were as follows:
Charles Hirsch. $4,000; Rightway Shoe
Company. s2500; Rosenthals, Incorpo-
rated. $500, and Levi Strauss e. Co.
$4,000
Henry Ach apeared for the plain
tifs and Henry Eicknon and Charles
A. Lee for the insurance company. 1t
was agreed that the evidence in the
case Of the Levi Strauss Realty Com
pany should he accepted as the evidence
In the four cases named. and that judg-
ment should be taken for the amounts
claimed.
The plaintiffs have been unable to
attach anything Of value belonging to
the Transatlantic Company, but the
Judgments will hold good in any part
or the United States wherever that
company may acquire property In the
shape of premiums or real estate. The
policies of this company did not con-
tain an earthquake clause, and the
only defense interposed In the Levi
Strauss Realty Company case was that
the burned buildings had been weak
ened and injured by the earthquake,
thereby being rendered more accessi-
bic to fire, and that the fire itself was
calamity of superhuman origin and
against which human foresight could
not guard. There was no evidence to
support either Of these contentious
and judgment was given for the plain
tiff for $4,000. the sum sued for to-
gether with S5S interest.
