Pleasing Announcement to Policy
holders and to Banks---James d. Phe-
Ian, Chairman Of the Finance Com
mittee, Says Nothing Could Do More
Goodwin Put People ON Their Feet.
San Francisco, May 9,-Financial in
terest to-day centers in the announce
ment made by the insurance companies
that in the immediate future they
would pay losses Of the fire sufferers.
1t is believed that most Of the money
will be put into general circulation and
thus relieve the people of San Fran
cisco, as no other means could.
This news was welcomed. not only
by the policy holders, but also by the
banks that have been doing their best
for the public with the resources at
their immediate command necessarily
limited.
What will be the effect Of the pay
ment of this insurance money!" was
asked of James D. Phelan, chairman of
the finance committee.
Nothing could do more good" he re
piled. when the money Is paid out
TO the people it will put them on their
feet. It will bring about an early re-
sumption of commercial activity.
with the announcement that losses
will soon be paid the Insurance inter-
ests have made the concession that
salvage operations on property swept
by the flames may be proceeded with,
Policy holders may save anything they
can find without fear Of risking the loss
of their claims for insurance.
10 a great extent the work of demol-
ishing walls and clearing away the
debris has been postponed because of
the doubt regarding the attitude the
insurance companies would take.
At the meeting of the reconstruction
committee to-day a resolution was
adopted declaring that the wages for
public and private employment at ordi-
nary and unskilled labor should be
$3.50 for nine hours. This rate has been
fixed by the building trades council.
General Greely has asked employers
to pay their men something at least,
daily, SO that they may be able to pay
for their meals.
I'VE are establishing Is cent kitchens
all over the city," said General Greedy,
''and If the men employed could have
their wages promptly paid 1t will great
ly assist the work of relief"
To-days applications for relief shows
a decrease Of 10000.
In communications to Mayor
Schmidt, e. H. Hartman says that he
is so greatly interested in the work of
rebuilding San Francisco that he will
soon return from the east

FROM SPIER'S OWN PISTOL
BULLET THAT KILLED TRAC.
TION MANAGER EXTRACTED.

the Distance He Did After Bullet
! Had Priced His Heart-District At
torney of Opinion That spier Shot
Himself Accidentally.
New York, May 9.--Following the
funeral to-day Of Charles l.. Spier, the
traction manager, who was found dead
| in his home on Staten Island Monday
morning following an alarm of burg
lars, a second autopsy was performed
and the bullet extracted. 1t was found
to be 52-calibre and fitted Spier S
own pistol. The bullet was located in
the back, under the left shoulder blade.
| In it's course through the body it had
| penetrated the heart The physicians
and officials at the autopsy declared
themselves puzzled as to how Epier
could have staggered or walked the
distance he did after the bullet had
pierced his heart His body was found
fully eighteen feet from where the first
blood spots in the hallway of his home
were noted.
1t is the theory of the family that
Spier grappled with the burglar he is
said to have detected at work, and
that the marauder turned Spier's own
weapon upon its owner.
Strong objections were made to-day
by Mrs. Spier to the holding of a sec
ond autopsy, which she declared would
prove nothing, but Coroner Cahill
would not give burial permit until
the bullet had been extracted. Conse-
quently the funeral went forward and
the body was placed in vault. After
short wait it was removed and the
autopsy begun in the presence of Coun-
ty officers and representatives of the
Spier family.
District Attorney Kenney expressed
the belief that Spier shot himself aeci-
dentally. He declared he believed
neither the burglar nor suicide theory,
but that Spier may have tripped in the
hall and thus discharged his weapon
against himself
No final report has yet been agered
upon by the authorities who appear to
be at odds as to whether the case is
one of murder, suicide or accident
An inquest into Mr., Spier's death has
been decided upon and will be held
within few days by Coroner Cahill

PERSONAL CANVASS BY TAFT
Tries to Revive Sentiment in Favor of
Philippine Tariff Legislation.

Washington, May 9.-Secretary Taft,
by personal canvass of the senate, to-
DAY endeavored to revive sentiment in
favor of Philippine tariff legislation at
the present session of congress. He
made arguments in favor of reduc-
ton of the schedules on sugar, tobacco
and rice to 80 per cent. of the Dingley
rates. The measure left sleeping in the
senate Philippine committee, provides
for reduction on these articles to 20
per cent of existing schedules. He
was willing to go further and to elm
mate the proposition for eventual free
trade with the islands. Though the
secretary met with much encourage
ment, he is not yet satisfied that such
a measure would meet with success.
Senator Lodge took no part in the cam
vass, as he has signif1ed his intention
