Jere Lynch Tells
How Paris Re-
CeiVed News.
Says Wall Street
Seeks to Save
Its Funds.

Jere Lynch, the well known author
and former State Senator, arrived from
Paris yesterday, having departed from
the French capital immediately upon
hearing of the disaster in San Fran
cisco. Mr.. Lynch is now at the Bohe-
milan Club, 2171 Pacific avenue.
Mr.. Lynch reports that the news that
San Francisco had been destroyed by
earthquake and fire created intense ex.
citement throughout Europe. Especial
ly was the American colony Of Paris
beside itself with anxiety and regret
After the first word of destruction, said
Mr.. Lynch, there was lull in the re-
ceipt of news, which added to the anx-
iety, it being impossible to get cable
messages through to the stricken city.
Mr.. Lynch said that the payment of
insurance claims in full depended on
Wall street. The foreign companies, he
said, were willing to pay and all of the
hating over socalled earthquake losses
came from New York.
fsIf New York shows a desire to act
honestly there will be no difficulty
said Mr.. Lynch in conclusion, and it
the domestic companies do not 80 act
they will simply be committing hari'
kari, for the people will not forget
them. -

SEEKING LOCATION
Fire Committee Going After New Station in Lakeside in Earnest-..SeveraI Sites in Contemplation, and Will Be Ready to Re. port at Next Session Q. Council.

As the result of a conference held between Lee Fox and Chief Schultz of the fire department, in the latter's office Tuesday morning, work on the third fire station, for which the coun- ci! has been seeking suitable loca- ticn. may begin in short time. Rough plans of the proposed building will be drawn and submitted to the chief, and if they are approved by him and the fire committee of the city council, they will probably order work started on the building at once.
 Looking for Location.
 For some time the fire committee has been looking for suitable loca. tion for the third station, which is crying need of the city at the present time. The city has outgrown it's pres ent department, and in the event of two fires of any magnitude occurring in the city simultaneously the de- rartment would be almost powerless. The committee has considered several locations. but the only one which they were disposed to regard favorably they were unable to secure.
 MT. Fox's proposition, however, will give the city a fire station at the corner of Laurel and Twelfth, if it is

This is directly across the street from the lots that the fire con- mittee wished to secure, and is bet ter location, if there is any difference It is right in the heart of the district that is now least protected, and yet not so far from the downtown district that the company located there could not get down town in good time should a serious fire break out in the business district.
 Awaiting Councils Action.
 Several other locations are being considered by the committee, although the one presented to the fire chief Tuesday morning looks the best Al derman Well is looking up a suitable location, and the committee can se- cure a good site at Poplar and Twelfth, but Chief Schultz thinks that is a little too far west. However, the matter will not be settled until the council passes on the recommenda- tions of Chief Schultz and the fire committee, so that nothing definite is known as to the location of the house. It is the desire of the commit tee to have a house built which they can rent, and they will accept the. best proposition offered.

MISS ANTHONY DEAD LEADING WOMAN SUFFRAGIST OF WORLD DIED TUES
 DAY MORNING.
Hard Fight for Life-Weakness of Her Heart Prevented Her Re-
 covery From Pneumonia.

Rochester, N Y.. March 13.-The long and eyenlful life of Susan B. An thony closed at 12:40 this morning. The end came peacefully Miss All thony had been unconscious practical ly for 24 hours, and her death has been momentarily expected since Sun day night. Only her wonderful con stitution kept her alive.
 Dr. M & Hickey, her attending physician, said Miss Anthony died of heart failure, induced by double pneumonia. She had had serious val yular heart trouble for the past six OF seven years. Her lungs were prac tically clear, and the pneumonia had yielded to treatment, but the weak ness of her heart prevented her re- covery
 Miss Anthony's life in later years since her retirement from active par ticipation in the affairs of the national suffrage organization had been com paratively quiet, but her interest in the work to which she had given the hest years of her long life did not abate. She devoted much of her time to writing historical and reminiscent articles on the woman suffrage move ment. In spite of her SC years her mind to within day of her death had been clear and strong, and even in her last sickness she was actively engaged in planning for the future
 Since she retired from the presiden. cE of the suffrage party about three years ago Miss Anthony had travelled widely and lectured more than wise fer one of her age.

In the meantime the secretary o1 the ministerial association was authorized to correspond with Evan selist Chapman with view of ascer- taining just what date his services can be secured, if at all It is un- Gerstood that he can be gotten here on the first of April, and the associa- tion will endeavor to do this.
 fer having submitted the propo- siticn to their churches severally, the various ministers will report back to the association at special session called to convene for that purpose next Monday morning. At this meet ing the secretary will also be able to report as to whether the great evangelist can be secured or not, and definite and final action in the matter is expected to take place then.
