New York Man Shoots

Daughter.
Dispute Over Property
Said to Be Cause
of TroubleS
sprcIAI, DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, June s.-After firing
FIVE shots at his stepdaughter today
Edward Eschbach reloaded his revolt
yer, sought his wife in her farmhouse
in Ferris lane, off Fort Schuyler road.
and fired bullet into her body. Then
he fed to a barn near by, where he
barr1caded himself.
When Captain Gray and three po-
iicemen called on him to surrender he
defied them. The policemen broke in
the door, to find Eschbaeh pointing his
pistol at it. Eschbach's nerve left him
at the last moment. however, and the
weapon was Knocked out of his hand
and he was made a prisoner.
Mrs. Eschbach was taken to the
Fort Schuyler Hospital suffering from
a wound just below the heart The
surgeon says she will die. Eschbach
is the woman's second husband. They
were married seven years ago and had
been separated for year. Mrs. Lena
Kearn, the mans stepdaughter, says
that four years ago he was arrested
for shooting at her. but was released
on his declaration that the affair was
an accident. The troubles were due,
according to Mrs. Kearn. to her
mothers refusal to sign over TO Eseh-
bach property left by her first hus-
band.
Eschbach has a son by his first wife
living on Glebe avenue, Williams
Bridge. Mrs. Kearn says she believes
her stepfather is insane.

CASSATT'S SON
ON THE STAND
Denies That There Was
Favoritism in Car
Distribution.
Refutes the Testimony
Given Before Inter
state Commission.

PHILADELPHIA, June 3.-At the
conclusion of today's session the Inter
state Commerce Commission suspended
it's inquiry into the relations of rail-
roads with coal and oil interests until
next Tuesday, when the investigation
will be resumed here.
Probably the most important feature
of the session was the voluntary testi-
mony of j. Mcclellan of BIairsville, Pa,
contradicting the testimony of previ-
Gus witnesses who told the commission
that it had been the policy of the Penn
sylyania Railroad Company to encour-
age its employees to become interested
in coal companies on the lines of the
roads.
Charles McFadden related the story
of his troubles while he was mine
operator in the soft coal field. His car
supply became so meager that he was
compelled to rent cars from the Com
mercial Coal Company a concern in
which General superintendent Creigh-
ton of the Pennsylvania Railroad is in
terested. He was finally compelled to
make an arrangement by which the
Commercial Company operates his
mines for one-third of the profits.
Robert Cassatt, son of President Cas-
satt, denied the statement made yester-
day by S. II. Potter of the Donohue
Coal and Coke Company that the Key
stones operations had been favored
in the distribution of cars. He also
stated that the keystone Company was
not a "Cassatt concern"
w. G. Spangler, local agent of the
Pennsylvania Railroad at Milton. Pa,
said that he also acted as sales agent
for the Keystone Company, receiving
a commission of ? Y cents a ton.

CALUMET COMPANY WANTS DISCOUNT.
Offers Compromise Ultimatum to Policy.Holders

The policy holders of the Calumet
Insurance Company of Chicago will be
offered the alternative of accepting 65
per cent of the amount due them on
their losses, or taking what the COM
pany chooses to give them after il
has taken advantage of the earthquake
clause included in the provisions of it's
policies by refusing to pay on policies
which were held by people located in
buildings damaged by the shock. Such
was the agreement reached at a meet
ing of the stockholders of the company
a few days ago.
Some of the large policy-hoIders in
the company were approached with the
above proposition and refused to ac-
cept the 65-per-cent settlement. A
fund of 100000 has been raised by
cash contributions from the stockhold-
ers to be used to pay the losses on a
65-per-cent basis.
An official of the company said yes
terday that it was up to the policy
holders" The Calumet's capital anS
surplus is given as $456,Oo0 and Its
estimated risk at $1,3S2,000. The COM
pany does not>send to touch its capi-
tai in paying off tlle losses. If this
is done, the officials claim that the
company will have to cease business
The San Francisco call., 1906-06-09

The letter sent out yesterday by
T. Myron Wolf. Insurance Commis-
sioner, stating that the law would be
brought TO bear on the insurance COM
panies IL they failed 10 send him a full
list Of their policy holders and de-
scription of each policy is having the
effect of increasing the number of time
extension stipulations that are being
signed and turned in to him. Com
missioner Wolf has stated that If the
companies viii grant the policy cy-holders
an extension of time in which TO file
proofs of loss he viii not insist on the
immediate receipt from them Of their
lists of poiicy-holders. Consequently
many Of the companies are now signing
these certificates.
Most of the stipulations give the
holders until August u and is TO nle
their proofs Of loss. One or two COM
panies will give until September l. This
extension will, il is thought, give all
policy-holders plenty of time in which
to file their proofs and save their poll
cies from possible forfeiture

They claim that while the liabilities of
the company are not as high as s1,3S2,-
600. they are high enough to present
a settlement on a better basis than 65
per cent
1t is question for the policy-hold
ers to decide explained the official
e want to leave it to them. Whether
they accept our offer of approximately
80 per or our ruling on the earth
quake clause is immaterial TO us. We
want to do what is right, but have not
the funds. The stockholders have
raised s500.000 with which to pay
losses. This fund is in cash and ready,
awaiting the decision of our policy
holders. Our capital and surplus, ap-
proximately s45e,0e0, will not be used
in paying losses. Should we use the
money we would be compelled to re-
tire from business. We offer our ul-
timatum, accept the SIS per cent or ad-
nit our legal right to enforce the
earthquake clause in adjusting"
So far the proposition of the CaIu-
met Company has not met favor with
the policy holders. William Crocker
of the HI. S. Crocker Company was
approached on the 65-per-cent propo-
s1tion and fatty refused to accept any
such settlement. Many other large
policy -holders have done likewise.
