MEN OF STRENGTH
ON Oh YMPIANS'
TICKET.

The nominating committee of the
Olympic Club has presented a strong
list of directors which will constitute
the regular ticket at the forthcoming 6
election.
With william Greer Harrison the
board is made UP of John Elliott.
Harry V. Ramsden. Kenneth Melrose,
Allan Pollok, Paul Cowies, T J. ! ltz-
patrick. Max Rosenfeld, Thomas Jen-
nings. w. F. Humphrey and Robert
D. McElroy.
The three new members of the board.
Messrs. Jennings. Humphrey and Nc
Elroy. are representative men. They
have all been Identified with outdoor
athletics for years.
They will take the places of Messrs.
Tobin. Magee and Wellington.
Paul Cowles, the acting president
of the club in the absence of Mr.. Har-
rison in Europe, says he is sure Mr..
of the nominating committee.
When he left for Ireland Mr.. Harri-
son placed a letter in the hands of Mr..
Cowles to be in turn given to the
nominating committee. in which he ex-
pressed the wish that the old board
be reelected. He felt that in view of
the great work Of rebuilding the club
tion would secure the best results.
The proposed new board answers
every requirement and. will undoubt-
/ edly be elected.
The insurance companies show a
desire TO pay the full amount of our
policies" said Mr.. Cowles Yesterday.
This money will be available at once
for the new building. Mr.. Harrison
/ has advanced ideas on what the club
house should be. He will undoubtedly
find a way to finance the scheme for
splendid edifiee, so the members will
h not feel the burden"
/ Regarding the approaching election
Mr.. Cowles said: 81 suppose every
man on the present board would be
glad TO retire. They all have unusual
claims on their time in the rebuilding
+ of the city. However, they have a
natural pride in the club and want to
see it rebuilt as quickly and as sub
stantially as possible. We have been
promised the advice and the assist

means much 10 the board. Mr.. We'll

German Companies Will
Be Sued in Courts of
Their Country.

n TO TREATY between the Gov
N ernments of Germany and the
United States has any pro sion
whereby a judgment declared in
the United States courts is binding in
the courts of the fatherland. The alb
sence of this clause means that the in
depreciation of private international
law must be fought out in the courts
before insurance judgments found in
this country will be accepted without
question in Germany
Robert Bacon, Acting Secretary of
State at Washington, telegraphed yes
terday to the attorneys representing
the Organized Policy-holders of San
Francisco informing them that the
united states has no treaty with Ger
many covering the question or legal
judgments. He stated that private law
alone governed judgments and advised
them to procure counsel well versea in
the German law and get their opinion
as to the private international law gov
erning judgments. He also referred
them to text books written by Story,
Dicey, Westiake and Barr.
The Organized Policy-holders wired
Secretary of State Elihu Root last week
asking him to look over the treaties
F" tlii bSii many III OIucI ~ uStSliIlLC
whether any provision Is made in them
for the recognition Of American de-
eisions in the foreign courts. Had there
been such a protecting clause not one
suit would necessarily have been be-
gun in the German courts. Unless the
private international law is interpreted
favorably TO the policy-holders all quits
will be brought across the water.
Attorney James Peck of the Organ
lied Policy holders announced yester-
day that the services of lawyer well
versed in German laws have been Sc
cured. and a syndicate has been formed
TO carry the expenses of anaction in
Germany.
The Organized Policy holders have
new quarters at s11 Turk street, the
old offices at 911 Laguna street proving
too small. A meeting of the policy
holders of all the German companies
was held yesterday afternoon.

Mass Meeting to Bring
Local Company to
Definite Action.

a MASS meteing of the policy
~ holders of the Fireman's Fund
II Insurance Company will be held
in the Calvary Presbyterian
Church this afternoon at o'clock. The
gathering will be larger than any rep
resenting a single company that has
taken place since the fire. Invitation
to attend has been sent to every policy
holder of the company who is con-
cerned as loser. The meeting has
been called by the Policy Holders
League, a large combination of bank
ers, merchants, real estate owners and
representatives of other interests that
has been formed in the interest OF
policy-holders. This action was taken
after consultation with the officers and
directors of the Fireman's Fund.
The leading purpose of the meeting
will be TO organize the Firemans Fund
policy-holders. Several propositions
have been made by the officers of the
Ffreman's Fund to the Policy Holders
League in regard to settlement of the
losses. 1t has been set forth by the
Fireman's Fund officials that they hope
to be able to pay every San Francisco
loss In full, and the aid of the Policy
Holders League has been solicited to
make this possible.
The entire situation has been freely
discussed, but no plan has finally been
accepted by the Policy Holders League.
The organization of the policy holders
of the company, f. W. Dohrmann said
last evening, will make 1t easy and ad-
vantageous in every way to communi-
cate speedily with the losers by fire
whenever a proposition Is in shape TO
be submitted TO them. If there should
be no organization of the policy-hold-
ers, the alternative would be that II
would be necessary on. every occasion
to communicate with the losers sepa-
rately, at a great loss of time.
The meeting OF today may be fol-
lowed by others to be held in behalf
of the policy holders of other COM
panies More than 160 fire insurance
companies, many of them not author
lied to do business in California, have
reported losses of greater or less size
by the San Francisco fire. The Policy
Holders League, so Mr.. Dohrmann
says, will stand ready to help the
policy holders of any company that
needs aid in settling losses. Possibly
$50, 100000 of Insurance money has
been paid, and the amounts unpaid to
date are more than s150,0o0,0 900. Con-
sequently," says Mr.. Dohrmann, the
work has only just begun"

UMPIRE IS MISSED
IN GAME AT
PORTLAND.

CORTLAND, Aug. 16.-Precident Bert.
with his fine staff of umpires idle in
San Francisco, has left Portland out
In the cold. The game today was full
of wrangIing, due to the poor umpiring
of Hopkins of Oakland. Oakland
scored in the third and Portland tied
the score in the eighth. In the ninth
trouble began. Oakland obtained a
lead of one. With two out Sweeney
doubled and Mike Mitchell was pur-
|posely walked. McCreedie called upon
Donahue. who was umpiring. to take
his place at the bat. Donahue hit q
hard one past Haley and Sweeney
scored when Hackett dropped the ball
at the plate. The Oakland team
started to mob Gum, who was umpir-
ing. because they had not seen
Hackett drop the bail. Smith won the
game for Portland. sending Mitchell
over the pan on safe hit. Van Halt
rem protested the game because Dona-
hue batted for McCreedie The score;
