SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.-In
Marin county, just over the bay from
San Francisco, an old multi-millionaire

lynchng by a mob because he de-
manded rent OF q house owned by him
from a woman whose doctor husband
waa in this city doing relief work, The
people insist on the motto. "One for
all and all for one"
Guard Goes Too Far.
Minor clashes continue to occur be-
tween the police and miltiamen of the
National Guard. the latter being In
clined to go too far in a show of their
temporary authority. People generally
are good deal disgusted with the TOY
soldiers" and Mayor Schmitz has
asked that they be withdrawn from
San Francisco. but Gov. Pardee. who
WAS himself captain in the National
Guard before he was elected Governor,
insists that the militia is efficient and
that to crlticlse. IT is unworthy There
Is here and there little friction be-
tween the regulars and police one po
liceman making complaint that he was
shot at by a regular, but, generally
speaking, the United States military
authorities and civic officials are work
Ing harmoniously.
Telephone communication between
San Francisco and cities on the other
side OF the bay has been re-esta blished.
For the present the use OF the wires is
confined to business men. The tele-
phone company announces that in a
few days the hello bells will be ring

city in the world on the ruins OF what

The big life insurance companies
have extended by sixty days the time
for paying premiums. but the life in
surance loss may not be large.
Fire insurance men continue to de-
clare that their losses Will be paid In
full. though some companies will have
to assess their stockholders to meet the
emergency. The insurance loss Is es-
timated by agents here at SITE, ,000, 900
to 1925. .000, 900
Earthquake losses introduce new
element into the calculations of ad-
justers, After the earthquake in
Charleston there was no FIRE, and no
losses were paid, but In San Fran
cisco some policies cover earthquake
losses. while others do not.
Must Wait for Money.
The bankers Will have plenty to meet
the situation as soon as they dare
open their vaults, but the experience
OF Baltimore taught that II ia not safe
to open the vaults until they are thor
oughly cooled. The bankers fear II viii
be nearly thirty days before they can
get at their securities In the mean
time there Will be Il great scarcity of
ready money. but the prices OF neces-

The Oakland Savings bank is arrang-
ing to pay out small sums
April rains, necessary to the matur-
