MO- MORE RED TAPE.
WITH RELIEF.

So much inconvenience has been ex-
perienced in the past in the formal
methods used in receiving applications
and giving relief, that new system
will be put in force next Saturday by
the Relief Corporation, which is in
tended to simplify matters to great
extent. Each applicant will be direct
ed to a committee whose duty 1t Is Ito
look after a special line of work and it
is hoped to have each case investigated
with dispatch in that manner.
All the details of .the new arrange
ment have not yet been completed and
will not be finished until after "a trial
has been given the matter In a general
way. The general plan is to have each
of the six members of the rehabilita-
ton committee be the chairman of a
subcommittee, to which will be as
signed certain duties, and separate
room is to be provided for each of these
subcommittees. Thus it Is hoped to
give each applicant hearing without
his having to wait his turn in the
general line. The new plan is the work
Of F. w. Dohrmann. chairman of the
rehabilitation committee.
Arrangements have been made with
ST. Luke's Hospital to provide thirty
five additional beds at the branch insti-
tuition at Ingleside for the increased
number of cases of typhoid that. has
come into existence of late among the
refugees. There is an average of four
new cases each day and 1t is feared
that they will not be decreased until
after the rainy weather sets in. The
larger number of cases come from the
Potrero district from among refugees
who are not in the regular camps.

SEEK TO RECOVER
FROM RICH MEN.

At last the individual liability of the
stockholders of the Traders Insurance
Company to the San Francisco fire
losers will be tested. This move has
been in view for some time. The policy
holders of the Traders company, or
ganized as the Traders Policy holders
Company. in large number and repre-
senting $1,500,000 in losses in round
figures. acting upon the advice of coun-
sci in Chicago, have decided to make
bankers and other wealthy men in Chi
cago pay if 1t is possible.
John S. Partridge, secretary of the
Traders Policy holders Company, ex-
planned the move now in view When
the majority of the stockholders of the
Traders Insurance Company threw the
company last May into the hands of a
receiver" he said, "the company had
$4,000, 900 in good assets. The San Fran
cisco losses, to the amount of $1,S00,00
were reinsured. The appointment of a
receiver resulted in creating liability
of s1,000.000 on account of unearned
premiums The conditions have been
unsatisfactory. The stockholders are
rich. We have decided to see whether
they are liable.
"A letter was received today from
our attorneys at Chicago that informed
us that a petition authorized by us has
been filed, in which several things are
asked for. The most interesting Of
the items to the public is the one
referring to the stockholders liability
The stockholders under the constitu-
tion of California are liable. That we
have always contended. The legal
questions will be tried in Chicago and
the proceedings will be very interest
ing. No other set of policy holders has
tried to recover from stockholders since
the beginning of the San Francisco
insurance troubles. Our proceedings
are against all the stockholders of the
Traders Insurance Company. What the
policy holders shall receive will de-
pend on the issue now raised.

"About four years ago was afflicted

produced severe itching irritation, and
which caused ME great deal of annoy
ance and suffering, to such an extent that
was forced to call in two of the leading
physicians of my town. After thor

me for the same for the length of one

NEW EXCUSE ADVANCED.
Transatlantic Company Says Fire Line.
Annulled Insurance Policies.

A new excuse for the nom payment
of insurance claims under policies COW
ering property destroyed by the fire
was advanced yesterday by the Trans
atlantic Fire Insurance Company of
Hamburg in its efforts, through a
variety of defenses, to find some loop
hole Of escape from payment which
will be declared valid by the courts
The new claim Is that the establish
ment of fire lines during the progress
of the fire made 1t impossible for prop
erty owners to save any portion of
their property and therefore annulled
their insurance.
The new point was raised In the
trial of suit brought by D. villalon
against the Transatlantic for $500 on
a piano and other household furni-
ture at 2049 Powell street. The case
was argued before Judge Graham and
submitted.
The theory advanced by the defend

that the military authorities by estab-
fishing fire lines on April Is, 19 and 20
made 1T impossible for po1icy-holders
to reach their homes within the fire
lines for the purpose of saving their
household goods, and that this action
relieved the insurance companies of
all obligations, as they cannot be held
liable for losses where every means of
prevention was not exercised by the
holders of the insurance policies.
