FRANKLIN WELLS LOUGEE
SUCCUMBs TO HEART DISEASE
Pioneer Insurance Man Unable With
Senile IHfrmfties to Withstand
Strain of Disaster.

Franklin Wells Lougee, treasurer of
the Fireman's Fund Insurance Com
pany since April. 1895. died on Friday
last at Petaluma. He was So years and
months old at the time of his death,
and had long been a prominent figure
in insurance and commercial circles in
this city.
The deceased came TO San Francisco
from the East in 1850 and in 1885 was
made a member of the board of direc-
tors in the company named He had
previously tried his hand at mining e.
He made his first $500 by bringing 100
copies OF the New York Herald across
the continent and selling them here
He soon gave up mining and after
ward became a power in insurance cir
cles. 1t was Lougee and President w
]. Dutton that brought the Fireman s
Fund Company successfully through
the great Chicago fire.
Lougee was at his desk up to the day
after that he seemed to lose heart. His
extreme age would not permit of his
bearing up under the strain and he
succumbed TO heart failure. He leaves
a widow and one married daughter
Mrs. James ". Elder. Lougee was a
charitable man and many can tell OF
his generosity to the hotsam and jet
som of mankind. His fortune is a
large one and viii go to the widow and
daughter. The funeral will take place

CENSUS IS TAKEN
OF REFUGEES STILL
ENCANPED IN PARKS
Rough Estimate by Sanitary
inspectors Places Total
at 1850.
Thrifty Folk Renting Their
Houses and Enjoying the
Life Out of Doors.

From a rough estimate taken from
the reports of the various sanitary in
spectors il is estimated that there are
now in the neighborhood of 1880 ref
ugees in the various camps in the city
and county of San Francisco. These
figures do not include the tenters in
Oakland and other places.
According to DR.. w. c. Hassler, who
has charge of the sanitary work under
the supervision of Health Oficer Ra-
gan, these figures show decided de-
crease from the maximum, probably OF
so per cent. The greatest decrease
came of course, shortly after the fire,
that during the past week there has
been little, If any, change in the refu-
gee camp population.
There is well founded rumor that
some of the tenters have their own
homes in San Francisco. which they
have rented, intending to make money
and at the same time enjoy outdoor
life. 1t is the intention of the Health
Department when in full control of the
situation to require all able-bodied men
| to work and leave the camps, and
where impostors are discovered they
will be forced to shift fer themselves.
The census showing for the various
camps is as follows: Washington

Lombard and Chestnut, 21: Chestnut,

efaI Type of Construction Be Per-
mftted by Municipal Ordinance.
The chief topic of discussion at the
meeting of the Structural Association,
held Thursday evening al the rooms OF
the Harbor Commission. was reinforced
concrete. and the contemplated re-
strictions in the interest of other ma
terials which are being considered IN
connection with the building ordinance
now about to be passed by the Board
of Supervisors.
At the first meeting of the assocla-
ton ]. d. Galloway, who at that time
had lust finished drafting the new or
dinance. explained in detail the posi-
tor that this new construction was TO
plav in the upbuiIdfng of the city. The
Supervisors. after listening 20 various
contractors, material men and others
who were interested in brick and its
bv-products. who felt that much of
their work might be displaced by con-
crete. have under advisement the idea
OF limiting the future use of concrete
10 foundation work only.
The Structural Association has ap-
pointed a committee consisting OF
Henry A. Schulze, architect; William
Hall. civil engineer. and Lewis A..
Hicks. builder, who are to appear be-
fore the Board OF Supervisors for the
purpose Of presenting the facts about
reinforced concrete, and it is hoped by
the association that their explanations
may serve to prevent the attempt to
impose such restrictions on its use as
20 make il unnecessarily expensive.

The exact form or style of drag 20
Be used is not the most essential part
OF road dragging. Most any device

a small amount OF earth towards the
middle Of the road and AZ the same
time slick over the surface. As the
whole theory and effectiveness of road
dragging depends On the moving of
but a small amount of earth AZ q time.
u is important that no road drag be
used which n of heavy design. In
fact the lighter and moro simple the
drag the more effective Il usually n.
This DRAG IL made from a 10 or II
inch log. eight or nine feet long. The
cross braces are fcurlneh sticks
shaped TO ~ into a twoInch hole. A
board platform. not shown IN the cut.
Is laid on the cross pieces for the

A simple stick Of timber or niece Of
railroad iron has proved useful for
this work. v-shaped drags have also
been used. but seem 90 meet an oh
lection. due 20 the fact of their heavy
draught Perhaps the most effective
form OF drag Is that known as the
-spllt log drag which may also be
made of two stout pIankE In place Of
the split log. Oak or other heavy
wood should not be used where u ls
possible Go get a log of lighter wood.
We show a sketch for n split log

lower part Of the front face of the
split log. The holes in the rear log
are bored ~ that Its fiat face win be

the connecting braces. which should

wedges should be driven erosswise Of
