TELLS OF THOSE Who
ESCAPED FROM Hotel
John 7. Mccall, in Letter, Gives List Of
Survivors Of kingsburys Collapse.

John T. Mccall, at present of 24S
Hanover street, and his son, Gerald.
were occupants of one of the apart
ments in the Inflated Kingsbury House
at 172 Sixth street on the morning of
the earthquake. In a letter TO Coroner
Walsh Mccall gives details of the ter
rible experience of other guests in the
house, and from his statement it is
thought very few survived either the
shock or the fire that followed. Yester-
day the bodies of two more victims
were recovered from the ruins.
Mccall says that all guests on the
two lower floors must have been killed
or burned to death. When he reached
the street the third floor of the build
ing was almost on a level with the
street. and the fire started within ten
minutes after he escaped. Mccall gives
names and data concerning a few per-
sons who were fortunate enough to es-
cape in the following paragraphs:
81 occupied apartment No. 235, third
floor. in the Rlingsbury. with my son,
Gerald. We both escaped without in
jury, also others / know, as follows: Mr..
and Mrs. p III. Mccullough, Mrs. Lizzie
Woodward and daughter. June, were hurt
Mr.. and Mrs. Mccullough are at present
at the Presidio, and Mrs. Woodward is at
6S6 North Grand avenue, Los Angeles.
Mrs. Regan and husband also escaped. and
they are at present in Mill Valley: also

23S. He escaped the same time myself
and son did. A Mrs. Morrison. who had
both legs broken. l am told. is at the
hospital in San Jose. Mr.. Holt and wife
also got out. but their present address
is not known. Also a blind man named
Kiezer escaped. He was a coffee ped
dler.
These are all of the people that
know of that escaped on the morning OF
the earthquake. How any one could es-
cape who had apartments on the second
1oor of the building is mystery to me.
for, when l got out, the third story was
almost level with the sidewalk
''I forgot to state that the KingsbGry
was in flames ten minutes after ] got
out, and / am sure all remaining or who
were unable TO escape at that time per-
ished, as all the cooking was done with
gas and the electric current was on in
nearly every apartment The only thing
that saved me and my son were two
bathrooms alongside of each other. and
these kept the wall from falling in on
both of us.
Yesterday the body OF William Burnip.
locomotive engineer. was recovered
from the ruins of the Kingsbury. and
the body of an unidentified man was
found near by.
Bodies were also found at Montgomery
avenue and Francisco street. and at
Washington and Battery streets. They
were so badly burned that Identification
was impossible.

sALVED FURNITURE
CAUSES HITCH IN
PAYING INSURANCE

Persons who saved furniture from their
homes during the great fire last month
and sold it in part or as whole have
raised an insurance question which may
not be answered in accordance with their
wishes. Many such cases have become
known to the underwriters. An one -tn-
stance a large claimant for insurance on
property lost in the fire acknowledged
that he had sold $50 worth of furniture
The agents of the company by which
he had been insured at once informed him
that his action had vitiated the contract
contained in his policy of insurance. Ac-
cording to his story. which he told at the
office of the Insurance Commissioner. he
was refused blank in which to make a
statement concerning his loss.
Since the fire many sales of furniture
have taken place. The articles disposed of
at small prices are supposed. in some IN
stances at least, to have been salvage
from the fire Underwriters have looked
into the matter somewhat, and detectives.
so it is reported. were employed to inves-
tigate.
The offices of the Fire Underwriters
Adjustment Bureau have been established
in one of the spaces of the great nave OF
the Ferry building. The office force
moved in yesterday. Attorney Coogan will
be at the place some time every day 90
