TRAcERs LOCATE Policies.
Many Lost During Fire Are Recovered
by Commissioner Wolf. {

Nearly 100 lost policies have been
found through the tracers sent out by
Insurance Commissioner r. Myron Wolf
since June l. Immediately. after the
opening of the office on Fillmore street
complaints came in from people who
had lost their insurance policies: and
had no knowledge of the company in
which they were insured. Commits !;
sioner VOLTS Office tabulated each OF
these names and at once sent out
tracers to each of the companies hav-
ing risks in San Francisco.
The work of tracing these policies
through the companies was made doul
bly, hard because of the fact that most
of the local records of the agents were
destroyed during the fire. In many,
instances the tracers were sent to the
home Office to get the information de-
sired. They have been returning slow
ly to Commissioner Wolf and those
policy holders thus fortunate have been
notified where to get their new policies,
Many requests were made too late to
secure the information ip time to al
low the filing of the proofs of loss.

Attitude Expressed by Companies
Said to Be Satisfactory.

Many answers are expected 10 come
TO hand ia the next few days from in
surance companies TO the joint dis
patch sent 70 them by Governor Par
dee and Mayor Schmitz. Several We're
received yesterday. Mayor Schmitz
says that they were satisfactory in
tone. but he declined to make any of
them public
The text of the telegram sent by the
Governor and Mayor is kept secret for
the present. 1t Will, says Mayor
Schmitz, be published in a few days.
Any company that does not give as
surance of an intention TO deal fairly
with the people of San Francisco, in
response to the ultimatum sent out, is
liable to be in serious trouble. The de-
velopments in this line may be among
the more important of the week.
The permits for continuing business
in this State may be revoked for two
legal reasons. One is for insolvency.
The laws of California define the in
solvency of a fire or marine insurance
company in the following terms.

Thirty-fve insurance companies do

additional sixty days in which proofs

Ii is against these thirty-ffve insur-

though last night was thought 10 be

= requests must be obeyed It is
possible that the time VIII be extended
to Monday AFTERNOON at 5. o'clock, as
there IS some question as 10 the exact
expiration Of the ten days notice sent
out
Yesterday three more companies
signed the stipulation granting the eX-
tension OF tine 10 the policy holders.
These three companies were the Equit-
able Fire and Marine. St PAU Fire and
Marine and the Royal Exchange As
6urance Company Of LONDON The
Royal Exchange signed the stipulation
some weeks ago. but because of the
omission Of a date it was returned TO
BE resigned. This makes a total of
. seventy seven companies that have
Signed the time stipulation.
NINE GIVE Up LISTS.
Nine companies have. however, es-
capped signing the stipulation by fur
nishing Commissioner Wolf with lists
OF the policies issued by them. This
was the alternative imposed by the In
eurance Commissioner. These nine com
RRnies evidently feel they would rather
give up the details Of their business
than take the risk of losing their re-
q. Insurance by granting an extension of
time TO the pOlicy-hOldeFs. The nine
are Austin Fire. Scottish Union, North
western National, Rochester German,
New Brunswick, Providence of Wash

ca and the Queen City Fire Insurance
Company.

Policy-Holders of Earthquake Conn
papies Get Together. !

Yesterday afternoon the, policy-h hold K
ers of the fourteen insurance COM
panies which are protected by strict
earthquake clauses in the policies met
at 911 Laguna street for the purpose
of organizing to protect their rights.
Fully 100 policy holders were present
and in few cases did their property
seem to have. been. damaged by the
earthquake, according to their testiy
mony. Several attorneys Who met
with them declared that the earth !
quake was such a distant. cause. of the
fire that in most cases the insured
would be able to recover on their poll
ieies. The fourteen companies having
the earthquake clause are the Rhine
and Moselle. Norwich Union, Indemnity,

ATTITUDE Is UNCHANGED.

Soon after the arrival on June of
President Damon, The Call, published
exclusively an interview with, the yis-
itor in which Damon gave in detail the
position which the company had, taken
in the matter of payment of losses In
that interview Damon said:st,s
"Our company is and always has been
opposed to any horizontal cut of 20. or
25 per cent, or any such big deduction
In settling the fire risks in San. Fran :
cisco. We propose to. pay all Of our
losses fully, dollar for dollar, after
they shall have been fairly determined.
Every loss will be taken up. adjusted
and paid on it's merits. we do not feel
that we are responsible for loss or dam :
age that was due to earthduake alone.
Our insurance is fire insurance. That
is our business, and where we are just
ly liable we will pay and pay without
question"
That President Damon, after an in
auiry with the eyes and mind of an ex-
pert found nothing to warrant a change
in the company,s policy, is one OF the
most significant developments OF the
insurance situation. It serves to
strengthen the position of the thirty or
more companies that have taken the
stand for full payment on adjusted
losses.

gin tomorrow to gather Information
concerning insurance conditions and
problems in this city to be embodied IN
reports to be sent to the commercial
ORGANIZATIONS of the world for their In :
formation The principal purpose of
the Chamber of Commerce is 70 inform
the public how the people of San Fran
cisco were treated by insurance cor
porations in the settlement of losses
by the fire of April.
Il shall send out Monday" said Pro-
fessor Whitney yesterday, ito all the
policy holders who lost by the recent
fire whose addresses are sohtafnable e
printed forms containing ques tious with
blank spaces for answers. Each form
viii be accompanied by a circular let
ter TO explain the purposes of the
chamber
The attitude of the Chamber of Com
merce will be entirely judicial in the
insurance inquiry, and l think it is
fortunate that such can be the. fact
ANY reports that may be promulgated
will receive more attention on that ba-
sis. In addition to communicating with
the policy holders information will be
collected among the insurance coTnpa-
nies. The idea is to be just to all.
THE conditions are unique by reason
of the earthquake and fire on one day.
This conjunction has given rise to ques-
tions in the adjustment of losses that
are unusual Very likely cut of 5the
facts in San Francisco some changes in
insuring will result. ! anticipate that
very little information will be given out
while the inquiry that is about to begin
is in progress. When the report is pre-
pared it will be sent to policy holders,
to commercial organizations and to the
insurance companies and given to the
press for publication"

DAMON STAMPS STRONG.

A. W. Damon. president of the Spring
field Fire and Marine Insurance Com
pany of Springfield Mass ,cdepapted to-
day for his home after spending nearly
two, weeks inves stiaating cpnffitions in
San Francisco. He ,ffeel elaredobefors1his IS
departure that he had neither seen nor
heard anything which would in the
slightest change his attitude toward
the situa tion, namely, that his company
was bound in all honesty and justice to
settle its policy payments on dollar
for-dollar basis. President Damon
gave a thorough and careful eonsid-
GRAFTON TO the many problems which
presented themselves and then. took the
position that there was nothing tore
verse in the atfitude7Gf tfleI company.
Damon spent a great deal of :ttsne,in-
vestigating the ruins in San Francisco.
In addition to giving close attention TO
the many phases of the insurance. sit
uation which have arisen by reason. of
the clash between. the. doIlar-fer-dellar
companies and the '.six-bit" CONCERNS.
1t was one. of the gratifying::r esBHs. of
his visit that he had eQnfigmedaby per-
sonal contact the. views which, had
been presented to him by the. company S

New Graft In Missouri.
new graft has been discovered

"a new graft has been discovered
in Sedalia," says n of the papers of
that place. Every night for some
time past the mems waiting room at
the Missouri Pacific station has been
crowded with men sleeping in the
seats. When asked their business
there by station attendants, they in
variably resurrected tickets to some
nearby town and said that they were
waiting for trains. A few days ago
about fifty of these regular boarders
applied at the ticket office to have
the tickets redeemed. The agent then
became aware of the fact hat the
tickets were purchased for the sole
purpose of bunking in a warn room"

The door ajar in my hand. my foot on

What do / heal in the wind, whispering
under the caves?
What do / hope to find-blossom, or fall

Here, where the dulled, dih square of a

Registers, unaware, the desoluate void
Here, Where a tangled rose, trailing,
across the latch,
Tenderly clings and grows up to the
crumbling thatch.
Nay! but / see. but I hear, all that the
years have wrought.
Laughter and smile, and tear; intimate
Jest and thought;
Voices of those long dead, footsteps OF
those afar,
Words that were left unsaid. kisses no
time can mar.
If / should venture in, l, from the thresh-
old stone,
Say, hould / find the thin ghost of my

Grasping at joys long fled, would not
