phere, particularly North America, has

seismic shocks. The shock which dis
rupted San Francisco was the most

try
This earthquake is not the first that
has occurred in that section OF the
country. As late as Oct, IA, 1901, the
town was shaken by shock, and al
though n great deal of excitement pre-
vailed, not very much damage was
done to property. The first serious
shock that Frisco got was In 1855. On
Oct. OF that year there were rum

ings in the town. and some Of them
toppled over Three years later san
Francesca was shaken by an earth
quake. which proved 10 be more serious
than the one Of 1865, A good many
acres Of ground were shaken by the

had the most damaging effect at
Charleston. s. C., whore II persons

FIRE INSURANCE
MEN FRIGHTENED
Some Start Agitation to Make

THEY WILL HARDLY SUCCEED.
Nothing Vet Determined ON ss to

Immediately.

New York, May L--The Tribune to.
day says:
Some fire insurance men, frightened
by the losses in San Francisco. started
an agitation yesterday to make the
form Of Insurance contracts more rigi1.
a president OF one OF the bis companies
was approached by a man who wants
the contracts in the future TO read that
Losses caused not only directly but in
directly by earthquakes cannot be re.
covered. In other words. no iusursnc,

caused by Are started by an earth

II do not believe there Is any chance
of such restrictions being placed IN con
tracts said the president You might
as well except losses indirectly due 70
tornadoeS or billiards, New York
might have burned ny at the time OF
the great blizzard, but II would MOI
have been right to have such sltua-
ton invalidated the insurance.
Several kilograms were received yes
terday from officials and representa-
tlves of insurance companies who have
reached san Francisco, one expressed
the opinion that the companies would
not get rid OF more than ID per cent OF
their liabilities In the burned district
through the action OF the earthquake.
other estimates ranged from that to 40
pcr cent.
Several representatives. Of foreign
companies are expected on the steam-i
Baltic today. Nothing definite was de-
clded yesterday on the proposition that
the companies get together and agree
10 pay about so per cent OF the claims
within 30 days rather than have long IL
LEGATIONS over them.
Efforts are being made 20 induce some
OF the big life Insurance companies TO
assist IN financing the rebuilding OF sar

ing business man OF that city has been
here on that mission, but so for rs
could be learned he had not been sue
