SUE IN GERMANY :
THE DECISION.
Policy-Holders' League
to Fight in Fatherland
for It's Just Rights
s1O,00O,0OO IS OWING

The trustees OF the Policy holders
League have decided that 1t will be
necessary to bring suits in Germany
and Austria against the Austrian Phoe-
nix North German of New York, North
German of Hamburg. Rhine and Mo-
*se1le and the transatlantic insurance
companies in addition to suits in the
United States. One or more repre-
sentatives OF the policy holders must
be sent to these countries to make the
proper connections and to take the
initial steps necessary to collect
amounts due in losses in San Fran
cisco caused by the great fire.
A stubborn fight, SO the trustees OF
the Policy holders League say. Is In
sight. 1t will be impossible for a small
number of policy holders to bear the
costs of such a fight. while, II all
pclicy- holders can agree to make a
joint contest, the expense to the fndi-
vidual policy-h holder need not be ex-
cessive.
To ascertain whether concerted
movement can be made, meeting OF
policy holders in the fve companies
named has been called for tomorrow
afternoon. To this also attorneys who
re present policy holders are invited, 10
counsel with the trustees and to help
form some plan that shall be effective.
The losses admitted. in gross, OF the
five companies In San Francisco ex-
ceeds $4,000, 600. From this large de-
ductions are made, as matter OF
bookkeeping, on account OF the doubt
ful items relating to reinsurance and
salvage. but the sums in total are
great and represent thousands Of pol
icy holders.
This afternoon the Policy holders
League will meet with the policy-hold-
ers of the Calumet Insurance Company
of Illinois, which Is making no pay
ments SO far as reported. After atten-
ton has been paid to the corporations
he rein mentioned the matter OF many
other corporations will be taken up.
This is the work for which the league
was Organized.

PEORIA, H., Aug. 21.-The Demo-
cratic State Convention today made
these nominations. State Treasurer, L..

tendent of Public Instruction. Miss

trustees. of the University of Illinois
Daniel r. Cameron of Chicago, John 5.

BY a vote of 1898 to $40 the conven-
tion placed upon the table the request
of William j. Bryan for the resigna-
tion of Roger c. Sullivan from the
national committee. Despite the fact
that Mr.. Bryan had declared that he
did not wish to be indorsed unless Sui
liyan was repudiated the convention
declared him to be the one and only
man capable of leading the Democratic
party to victory in 1908.
The committee on designations de-
the resignation of Sullivan ana the
debate followed upon motion made
in the convention by Judge owen
Thompson of Jacksonville, calling
for 1t. Judge Thompson was the hrst
advocate of the cause of Mr.. Bryan.
He allowed his feelings to carry him
somewhat to an extreme and aroused
the hostility of Sullivan's friends by
the unsparing manner in which he
dwelt upon the last Democratic con-
lvention at Springfield His form shook
with wrath His caustic criticisms
finally lost him the ear of the conven-
ton and he might never have been
able to conclude his speech IT Mr.
Sullivan had not personally requested
quiet
Sullivan. who, followed Thompson
and who was the first speaker in his
own behalf, declared that the ear or
Mr.. Bryan had been poisoned against
him and that the demand for his re-
| signatien sprang from his personal
enemies.
The end came on a motion made by
ex-Congressman Kern of Belleville
that the request for the resignation of
Sullivan be laid on the table.
The votes of several counties were
challenged. and one delegate from
Warren declared that the vote of that
county had been deliberately garbled.
A large part of the platform deals
with State issues. The passage OF a
State~banking law which will prevent
robbing of poor depositors is pledged
and revision of the present tariff law
is demanded. The use of large cam
paign funds for the corruption OF the
electors is denounced, and the pas
sage of law preventing contributions
to campaign funds by insurance COM
panies is urged.
The recent Congress is denounced
for it's surrender to the meat trust,
railways and the Standard Oil Com
pany. The early establishment by the
United States of postal savings banks
Is urged.
The eight-hour law and anti-injunc-
tion law asked from Congress by the
laboring men are declared to be de-
sirabIe and their enactment is urged
Election of Senators by the direct
vote of the people is urged.

SOBS At
THE INQUEST.
Boy Homicide Loses His
Bravado and Seeks to
Transfer the Blame
MURDER CHARGED

Coroner's jury yesterday held an
inquest on the body of Fred Mulinix,
who was killed by Fred Peterson near
the ocean Beach on August IL. The
Jury returned a verdict that Peterson
nred the shot that killed Mulinix, and
lnat Petersons three accomplices, Wa1S
ter Westwood. Frank McAuliffe and
William Meares, assisted Peterson In
the commission of the crime.
The inquest was important In that a
Iuii public confession was secured from
peterson and Westwood as to the part
trey took in the killing of MuHnix
Both boys told their tales without much
duestioning by Coroner Walsh and As.
slstant District Attorney Block. who
conducted the examination.
When Peterson had concluded his
testimony he sat down beside his COM
pahfons and began to sob bitterly, as
though the enormfty of his crime had
Tor the first time dawned upon him.
Peterson has evidently lost the bravado
nc displayed shortly after his capture.
he endeavored to throw all the blame
Tor his plight on his companions, say
ing that McAuliffe had given him
WHISKY and WeStwood had ordered him
te held the pistol when it was decided
to rob Mulir1ix
DECLINES TO ANSWER.
Westwood displayed no emotion
while telling his story He testified
that Meares and McAuliffe had first
suggested the holding up of pedestrians
In the park. The two last named were
put on the stand. but both declined to
answer any questions on the advice OF
their attorney, who, however, did not
put In an appearance. They feared that
tLeil answers would further incrim-
mate them.
Nofbipo
the published accounts of the crime
We're brought out at the inquest. Po-
ficemen Merchant, Dow and Black told
OF the capture of the four boys and
OF their stories in connection with the
murder
Miss Norma Plise, who was with
Muiinix at the time he was shot down.
repeated her published narrative of the
meeting with the boy bandits and of
he's subsequent flight from the scene
When asked to identify the boys Miss
Plise was unable tosdo so. except as to
general height and appearance.
Peterson was the first of the boys to
be interrogated. He said:
PETERSON TELLS STORY.
Il went cut to the Chutes on the
evening of August II with my friend

suggested that we go to the park as

would need it as we were going to get

Secretary VIII Decline Place on the
Supreme Bench.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-In a short
time Secretary Taft will formally tell
the President that he does not desire
the honor of an appointment to the
Supreme Court bench.
1t Will delight Speaker Cannon, Sec
retary Shaw and probably Secretary
Root to know that the Secretary of
War is not going on the bench, fer that
means that the Ohio Republican con
vention will have to indorse him for
the Presidency. Foraker will be out

of his stand on the rate bill before
Congress.
Vice President Fairbanks is probably
the only candidate who will not like the
big Secretary's decision.
