San Francisco, Feb. "a fire ear
ly this morning in the central station
of the San Francisco Gas & Electric
Company caused a loss estimated at
a quarter million dollars besides Grip
pling many commercial and Manu-.
featuring establishments. All the ev.
ening papers are without power, even
linotype being rendered useless. Can
dies and kerosene being in many of
the dark offices, elevators were not
standstill in some places. Nearly
all of the telegraph wires leading out
of the city are idle, the company hav
ing obtained power from the station
burned. Every effort is being made
to install power plants but it is un-
certain when normal conditions can
be restored.
The origin of the fire which COM
pletely gutted the building is not po-
sitively determined. The workmen
who were in the building at the time
say there was a flash followed by a
sheet of flames and in a few minutes
the flames had broken through the
roof.
The impression was that some dy
namo vas overcharged and exploded.
The burned station was in the heart
of the city.
LATER
During the progress of the fire six
teen persons were hurt, only one.
William Keane, however, sustained
any serious injury. The loss has
reached nearly million dollars.

burne, Texas who is well known here
arrived in the city last evening. He
was recently appointed one of the
Special Agents of the Pecos Valley
Lines AMI he is here on private rail-
road matters. He succeeded as Spec
ial Agent Tom Bell, who died in Anna
rillo last December. Mr.. Stewart was
formerly sheriff at Cleburne and came
here and it was his clever detective
work that resulted in the arrest and
conviction of William Geaton for mur
dering his partner Henry Jones and
throwing the body in the head of
North Spring River. Geaton and
Jones were both from Mr.. Stewards
town at Clebunre.

Judge Granville, A. Richardson,
president of the Commercial Club re-
Agricultural College at Mesi1la Park,
New Mexico in regard to the sugar
beets that were raised here last year
for experimental purposes. The re
port was highly satisfactory and the
prospects are bright for the establish
ment of an immense beet sugar plant
here. Analysis was made of six lots
of the beets in the past thirty days
by Professor r. F. Hare, an eminent
chemist at the college and his report
is that the run of per cent in sugar in
the juice is from 1S1s to 20 per cent.
The purity of the juice runs from 81
to 80 per cent. All of the six lots of
in Roswell and vicinity last year and
the chemist said that all we're of the
finest kinds for sugar producing quail
ities It will be remembered last
year the Roswell Commercial Club
bought large quantity of sugar beet
seed from the American Beet Sugar
Company at Rocky Ford, Colorado,
for experimental purposes. This lot
of seed were distributed by Secretary
Graham of the club to one hundred
farmers of the Pecos Valley and It
was these beets that were raised from
these seeds that were analyzed at Me
silla Park Mr. Richardson stated to
reporter that the run of juice in the
beets raised here was higher per-
cent than those raised in the famous
sugar beet growing belt of Colorado.
The per cent of sugar juice there is
only from Is to II per cent. There
are now several proposition under
consideration pending before the Com
mercial Club in reference to the es-
tab1ishing of a beet sugar plant here.
At the first it is said that the plant
that will in all probability be erected
here will cost s1,0OO,OOO

EVIDENCE SECURED.
Important Letter Gives Evidence
Against Miners.

Important Letter Gives Evidence
Against Miners.
Boise, Feb. pa story was pub
lished here today to the effect that a
letter written at the Headquarters
of the Western Federation of Miners
at Denver was the foundation upon
which the detectives worked to Sc
cure evidence which will be used
against the prisoners now charged
with the murder of former Governor
Steunenberg. This letter it is said
was addressed to member of the
Federation in Silver City, Ida, but he
did not call for it and the detectives
secured it. 1t is expected that this
letter directed the assassination of
Steunenberg and as an encourage
ment to the act referred to other
crimes which had been committed
and the perpetrators of which had
escaped punishment
The name of the person to whom
the letter was address is withheld.
Other letters from the Denver Office
of the Federation are said to have
been intercepted and it is said these
letters have been used in securing
damaging statements from one pris-
oner's arrest.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 22.-The report
by Senator Armstrong of the Special
Insurance Investigation Committee
was presented in both houses of the
legislature today. 1t was accompan-
led by eight bills designed to carry in
to effect In detail the recommends
tions of the committee. Senator
Armstrong made a statement in which
he said Counsel for the committee,
Hughes, McKeen and himself had
worked upon the bill until four this
morning and that had not then fin
ished their labors. He asked leave
for the Committee to submit supple
mentary report which will make the
proposed forms of the Standard Insur
ance Life Policy to be prescribed by
law He promised this report next
week. There will be a public hear
eating committee itself on Friday, the
9th of March in the Assembly Cham
ber. In statement to newspaper
men before the presentation of the re
port Armstrong said he hoped to have
1t passed before April Is, which will
defer the annual elections in the Mu-
tual companies from April Is to No.
vember. This it is believed probably
would nullify all proxies obtained up
to this time by Thomas Lawson and
the Policy Holders Committe of State
Governors and others as well as those
which the management of the COM
panys themselves have gathered thro
agents.
New York. Feb. 2O.-The report of
the joint committee of the Senate and
Assembly of the State of New York
which was appointed to investigate
the affairs of the Life Insurance Com
panies covers a printed pamphlet of
319 pages. The matters demanding
consideration of the legislature for
the purpose of remedying the existing
evils and establishing more securely
the business Of Life Insurance in
this state are grouped under the fol-
lowing heads:
4. Organization Of Life Insurance
Corporations.
2. The control or the right of poll
cy holders to elect directors
g. Retirement Of stock.
4. Investment including syndicate
participations.
s. Limitations of New Business.
6. Political contributions.
4. Lobbying.
8. Limitation Of expenses.
.. Valuation Of policies.
10. Rebates.
ii. Surrender values.
IL. Ascertainment anu distribution

strong with completed copy of the
report of the Insurance Investigating
Committee left New York for Albany
today He will submit the document
for final signature to the members of
the committee and will probably pre-
sent the report to the Legislature
today.

article IL of the insurance law be
so amended as to permit the forma
ton Hereunder of mutual corpora
tions without capital stock to trans
act business of Life Insurance under
limitations. Section 200 permitting
the Incorporation of companies upon
the cooperative or assessment plan
should be so amended as to not per-
NIT such companies to be incorporate
ed in the future and foreign compan.
les of this sort should not be permit
ted to enter the state. In regard to
the so-called Mutual Companies the
following plan is recommended: At
least five months prior to the election
lists of the policy holders should be
filed with the Supt. of Insurance and
ton at the home Office of the Corpor-
alton The voting should be limited
to those who have been insured at
least one year before the election and
whose policies are still in force when
the election is held
The manner of making nominations
and holding elections is provided for
AS to the stock companies, the com
mittee recommended naturalization.
On the subject of investments of Life
Insurance companies the committee
after declaring against "Syndicates"
makes recommendations for amend
ing the law so as to provide for the
safeguarding of the money of the po-
Icy holders
The committee recommends limit
ing the amount of new business
which each of the larger companies
may take to one hundred and fly mil
lion dollars yearly and that no com
pany doing business in the state ex-
cept Industrial companies shall issue
policies in excess of certain prescrib-
ed limits.
Contributions by Insurance corpor-
ations for political purposes should
be strictly forbidden. The committee
recommends the passage of unequi-
vocal and drastic measures to remedy
this evil
the investigation deserves more ser
ious attention. While the committee
discovered that there had been
large amount of lobbying on account
of the absence of necessary witness
es and the lack of proper vouchers,
the committee is unable to trace the
money. The Legislature owes it to
itself to~stop as far as possible lobby
ing and the remedy of Insurance Com
panies against hold ups lies generally
within the requirement of the proper
authorization of all expenditure vouch
ers stating in detail the purpose for
which the money was expended and
the company should be compelled to
set forth all expenditures in an an
nual report for the Superintendent of
Insurance.

A Splendid Play.

One of the brightest and most
novel of farce comedies to be
found in a years watching of the
passing shows is being played by
a company supporting and in
Guiding as clever comedienne as
could be seen In the same length
of time. Miss Kathryn Osterman
and the "The Girl Who Looks
Like Me" are both splendid-each
joins with the other in making
the evening go by without single
dull minute.
But, mind you, Miss Osterman
is not the whole show. She has a
capable company. For this reason
the audience is not let down from
its height of good humor when
she IL out of the picture for a
few minutes.
1t would take a column to tell
all the story of the play in detail.
Suffice to say that it concerns the
predicament gotten into by young
women while she is impersonating
the woman whose companion she

appeared. The remarkable re-

KICK ON RATES.
Athens Wants the Rate
Cut Down.

A formal complaint was regis
tered with the Ohio railway COM
mission Thursday afternoon by
Aaron e. Price, an attorney of
Athens, charging the Hooking
Valley Railroad company with
practicing discrimination against
tho citizens of Athens in the
matter of rates to and from Colum-
bus. He charges that tickets
from LANCASTER to Columbus, from
Columbus to Lancaster, from Log
an TO Columbus and from Colum-
bus TO Logan are sold by the
Hooking Valley road for prices
less per mile between Columbus
and Athens.
The fare between Athens and
Columbus, says the complainant,
10 e1.66, for . distance of 1853
miles. Between Logan and Co
lumbus passengers are allowed to
ride . round trip, 99.2 miles, for
$l.60. The round trip fare be-
tween Lancaster and Columbus,
claims Mr.. Price, Is rs cents, for
. round distance OF 6S miles.
