This policy was adopted on the theory
that the people of San Francisco were
most directly concerned in the rellef
measures and should know better than
any one else what legislation was most
needed. In this connection the citi-
zens Of Santa Rosa and San Jose were
represented on the San Francisco COM

titled them to be considered in the
matter of relief legislation.
AS outlined by incoming Legislators,

General opinion is to press the sessions

TINE EXTENSION
IS DISCUSSED
Insurance &c Companies
Fear 1t May Cause
Complications.
Liability of Underwrit-
ing Concerns Is IN
Question.

OAKLAND. May 31.-While many OF
the insurance companies concerned In
the San Francisco losses have volun-
tarily announced an extension of ame
to August Is in which to file proofs OF
loss, some of the corporations, through
their local representatives are with
holding their written consent TO extern
sion. On the face of the situation this
condition is ssrious in that the refusal
OF an insurance company TO grant more
than the sixty days allowed IN the poll
cies would mean; the sacrlnce OF az
payment to hundreds OF the lnsulSsH si..s !
who have not been able to connect with
the companies in which they were IN
Sured
.Objeetion was raised today at the
meeting of the Fire Underwriters "A.
justing Bureau at Reed Hall by SeNerai
representatives of insurance companies
to signing the extension agreement.
The, argument hinged upon the respon-
sibility of the reinsuring companies,
whether they could be held liable IN
event an extension were permitted by
the original insuring company: THIS
point provoked much discussion and
was the issue which caused a postpone
ment of a general extension order. y
Some of the representatives OF Tor
eign companies have cabled their home
offices for instructions. Eminent law
yers who have given the situation clos
est attention declare that the insurln
companies do not je0pardise their IN
terests as to reinsurance by allowing
the extension. In short. that the com
pany accepting reinsurance is bound by
the terms of the original policies and
the extension would not in any wise in
validate contract based upon the
original policy
The discussion over extension is only
one element in the many complexities
which have arisen since the fire. There
are nearly 120 Insurance. companies
concerned in the San Francisco losses
Many Of these companies have adopted
the plan of adjusting and paying losses
as rapidly as they can Many others
have been compelled by the conditions
10 postpone action. AS one prominent
insurance man said today;
There are not few companies
which much perforce make careful
survey OF the situation before they can
which must be studied before they can
decide whether they are legally and
morally bound TO pay There are a
thousand and one Questions 10 be con-
sidered in the situation. In other
words, men will figure closely before
they decide finally their LIABILITY to pay

reason of the conditions OF their poll

will be delay in settling many of the
big losses. such as are represented by

OAKLAND May 31.--Governor Par
dee says that sending kilograms to leg
islators collect is like throwing a
rock at a house buildcd by hornets He
admits that Such tcIegra:ns sent by him
should be prepaid, bu his belief on that
subject didn't prevent an operators s

The Governors kilograms from Oak
land a few days ago announcin~ TO the
Senators and Assemblyfnen that the
special session of the Levislatureswo would
be called for SATURDAY. were all labeled
for collection at the other end.
The first intimation that these dis
patches were to be the cause OF trouDle
game to the Governor last night. when
he received word at his hotel that a
humber of telegrams had been returned
to him because the addresses were out

with II. s. Stratton, representing the
