YOUNG IMPOsToR SENT

Petty Thief Poses as the Son of a New

Cnmaeked,

NEW YORK, June 6.-Posing as the
son of Henry o. Havemeyer, the sugar
man, also as the son of s Herman Oel-
richs as well as pretending to be pri-
vate secretary to Clarence Maekay, Eu-
gene Lyons, son of a coachman, has
been able during the last three years
to make an easy and luxurious living,
according to long account of his op-
erations read today in court.
Lyons. who has been conspicuous in
the daily parade on Fifth avenue, was
arrested May 10 on a charge of petty
larceny, and today he was sentenced to
one year in the penitentiary and to pay
fine of s250

The San Francisco call., 1906-06-09

While the general adjustment COM
mittee of the fire underwriters has ap-
pointed 933 loss committees, each
equipped with a chairman and domi-
mated by some company that by reason
of being the largest loser in that par
tlcular loss is made chairman, not one
loss in which several companies are
concerned has yet been adjusted finally.
Yesterday was the third day for the
meeting of adjusters at the ferry
building. No progress was made, as on
the preceding two days.
Secretary Mohrhardt of the UNDER
writer's was in Oakland. The members
of the loss committees did not appear.
The list of names on the bulletin board
in the adjusters' headquarters was in
creased by the addition of only one
firm name, that of the j, S. Turner
Company, whose case is set for hearing
next Wednesday.
Less than a dozen cases out of near
| ly 1000 in which loss committees have
been appointed have been listed on the
bulletin board to date, and not one
final joint adjustment has been re-
ported.
TRYING TO GET MONEY.
A new explanation was given by sew
eral underwriters yesterday, who
talked about the delay that is holding
up all business houses and owners OF
real estate who had policies in several
companies simultaneously. This is that
/ the companies, or some of them, are
trying to turn their assets into cash
in the East that they may have their
money all available for use in San
hot ic ic n.
pIished no further progress will be
/ made in adjustments. Every day some
/ new reason for delay is given by some
I one. In the meantime the larger losers
/ are becoming daily more dissatisfied
/ and restive, and the tension is becom-
! ing greater.

named yesterday to take up large
losses:

Chinese Books.

From Chinese Literature in San Fran

Book News, Philadelphia
There have been no separate
bookshops in the Chinese Quar-
ter, although many stores have
had books on sale. and the Chi
nese Daily World" has had 4
book department in connection
with its editorial Office. Prac-
tically all the modern litera-
ture and school, books come
from Japan. Books are made
up in Oriental fashion, each
sheet being printed on one side
and doubled over, the title and
index being stamped on the
edges of the volume. A volume
is sometimes Two books in one.
In one instance, the upper half
pages contain a brief history OF
the Tai-Ping Rebellion, the
lower half-pages a collection of
ballads. The reader has a
change of subject on every
page. He can skip the history
or the ballads, as he likes; but
he must buy two books in order
to get one. A poor seller"
thus reaches, perhaps. the hun
dredth edition, if bound with a
popular works. II the reader
wants "foot-notes," he will
find them at the top.

Earth's Age Now Put at over 100000,
600 Years.

Earth's Age Now Put at over 100000
600 Years.
The best geometrical esti-
mates of the age of our globe are
in close agreement. From the
time when the record of the
stratified rocks begin to the
present, the figures are some.
thing over 10O.000,00e years.
While some of the estimates
vary considerably both above
and below the period mention
ed, the general results are not
ma terially affected.
A generation ago, calcula-
lions of the earth's age we're for
the most part very much less
than one-half of the figure Civ.
en- above. Dana, for instance,
computed the length Of Pale
ozoic time at about 10000, 00C
years; of Mesozoic time. $1,000,
900 years, and of Cenozoic time
3,0n0,00O years making 10 all
AZ, 100000 years.
Recently, however. there has
been found beneath the vas
PaIeozoic sequence an assemb
lage of rocks of enormous ex
tent. All biologists are now
agreed in placing the time
equivalent of these pre- Cam
BRIAN CLASHES as equal, at least
to the entire time that ha:
elapsed since the beginning o
the Paleozoic era. Taking into
consideration this fact, ever
Dana's estimate is doubled, ant
reaches very nearly the 100, 900,
900 mark.
Biologists tell US that at thu
beginning of Paleozsic time lift
in general was already nine
tenths differentiated. There
must have been a period o
time prior to this during which
organic forms fourisbed, anC
during which sediments were
laid down, that was very, very
long. This early period, posi-
bly,, was not ten times as Ions
as from Cambrian times to tn,
present, but it certainly was al
least two or three times a
long.
From all these differen
sources one can arrive at com
parative scheme. IF we consid
err the ratios, we get for Archie
ozoic time %, for Proterozoi
time 38, Paleozoic time %, Mes
ozoic time s, Cenozoic 8, and W,
obtain for the total number o
years something like 100000,
