The two girls were clinging to each

Weiss dropped her apron, half filled

the road. She seized the bride of the
horse as it got abreast of her, and
held on, swaying back and forth and

hundred yards.
Quite similar to this was the dar-

RATES MUST STAY
THIRTY DAYS.

Growers manufacturers and ship
pers as we'll as the railroad companies
are frightened at the provision of the
newly passed railway rate Dill which
forbids the changing of interstate
freight tariffs until the commission
has been given thirty days notice. Ship
pers declare that this clause works an
injustice on them because they cannot
rush their product to the area of sud
den shortage without paying the rate
ordinarily required for freight. The
railroads complain that the clause de-
stroys the elasticity of their freight
tariffs and prevents adjustment to meet
sudden conditions.
1t is probable that the freight de-
partments of both the Santa Fe and the
Southern Pacific will join with the
shippers in forwarding formal COM
plant to the commission. That body
has declared that II would not be too
rigorous in its enforcement OF clauses
when emergency demands relief.
1t has been the habit of both the
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe to
lower freight rates as they wished,
complying with the forty -eight-hour
notification demanded by the commits
sion. In this way the farmers and
shippers could take advantage of scar
cities arising In other States and send
their products there without delay.
The railroads reduced the ratee to get
the long haul.
The clerks in the freight department
of the Southern Pacific are working
night and day getting together the
tariffs in publishable form. The law
requires that every shipping point be
supplied with complete tariff book.
The Southern Pacific was unable to
get this work done by August %, but
the commission has granted 1t further
time. The work will be finished next
month.
The breaking of the freight conges-
tion has enabled the Southern Pacific
to remove the embargoes on nay, wine,
lime, cement, brick and fuel oils.

ell High School and $3.50. 600 for a build

of s785,6oO. which can be used for the
building for WHICH the city already

A committee of high school principals
and teachers called on the Board of
Education at it's meeting yesterday af-
ternoon and formally objected to the
recent reduction made in their salaries
They wanted salaries IN grammar and
primary schools TO be made at an equal
ratio, but it was explained to them
that the money received from the State
had to be used only for salaries for
lower grades and not for high school
Instructors. There is not sufficient
money from other sources TO allow of

OUTSIDERS FOR JURYMEN.
Citizens of Other Counties to FIJI In
surance Suits Panels.

Several of the attorneys for the
welching fire insurance companies
called upon United States Circuit Judge
Morrow in chambers yesterday and
lafd~ bare their fears that juries com
posed of business men of this city
would be biased in favor of the policy
holders in these suits. They therefore
suggested that Judge Morrow should
order the commissioners, William
Broderick and Southard Hoffman, to fill
the vacancies in the panel box with
names of residents of counties other
than San Francisco.
Judge Morrow said in an. interview
yesterday that he would accept the
suggestion, Is the biased state of pub
lie opinion in this city was a fact of
common knowledge. Section S02 of the
Revised Statutes. adopted in 1898 and
still in effect, requires that there shall
be 300 names in the box before a panel
may be drawn therefrom and that va
cancies caused by death, excuse or re-
moval from the district shall be filed
with names of residents of the dis
tricts, but that panelmen need not be
selected from remote parts of the dis
trict on account of the expense of
mileage, etc. Heretofore panelmen
have been selected only from San
Francisco, Oakland. Berkeley, Ala
media, San Mateo, Sausalito, San Ra-
fae1 and San Jose. San Francisco will
be left out In filling up the present va
cancies in the. box, but as the names
are drawn by lot San Francisco may
have some representatives on the panel.

NORTH GERMAN HAS
b NEW PLEA.
Corporation Denies T hat
Stockholders Are In
dividually Responsible
CLAIM DISPUTED

The North German Fire Insurance
Company of New York puts up a plea
through the local agent, L. H. Ankele,
that it's stockholders, who are wealthy
New Workers, are exempt from, person
al liability on account of losses IN
San Francisco. To make good on this
plea, Ankele produces policy form of
the North German of New York. IN
which the following words are includ-
ed:
TT is hereby expressly agreed and
declared, and the true intent and mean
ing hereof Is, that the. capital stock
and funds of the company shall alone
be answerable to the demands thereon
under this policy, and that no mem-
Der or stockholder of this company
shall be subject or liable to any de-
mands against this company upon any
account or .pretense. whatsoever, be-
yond his share of the capital stock
or funds Of this company. anything
contained. in this policy to the con-
trary Notwithstanding"
This, so Ankefe says, limits the pay
ments that poIicy-holders may expect
strictly to the visible assets of tho
company. Attorney Levy of New York
has arrived from the home Office of the
North German of New York and he
takes the same legal view of the case
San Francisco attorneys saw that the
claim is unfounded. The clause in the
policy form evidently was drawn to
shield the personal fortunes of the
stockholders. from policy-holders.
but 1t does not appear in the
insurance contract that any val
liable consideration passed as between
the stockholders and the policy-holders
as the contract was between the COR
poration and the holders of policies en-
t1rely. The Supreme Court of the
United States has held that q contract
under which no valuable consideration
passes Is not binding. Hence there is
chance for test OF the liability of
the bankers and others In New York
VINO are seking to hide behind the COL
lection of words herein quoted
The North German OF New York has
paid but one loss In San Francisco
since the great fire, so far as reports
show. The one exception was set
tlement at twenty-five cents on the
dollar, according to Ankele
Ankele says Jnat Attorney Levy is
In communication with the home Of
hce and that an announcement will be
made in a few days concerning the in
tentions of the company. This may
be received today.
The North German OF Hamburg and
the North German of New York were
formerly allied. There Is an abundance
of capital back of both. The earth
quake clause and an explosion clause
are set up as reason for not making
payments.
