Endorsed by Superintendent

AS the campaign for the election OF trus-
tees OF the New York Life and Mutual
Life insurance companies OF New York pro-
crosses. and the contest for the votes or
proxies Of policy holders in Washington
and elsewhere grows in vigor. there Is in
creasing manifestation of interest In every
phase of the battle OF the ballots. Dur
ing the past week probably the greatest
concern has centered about the allegations
that the insurance companies are using
money toward furthering work in the field
In behalf of the administration ticket 1t
has been stated, and apparently with au-
thority, that the Insurance departments OF
practically all the states In the west will
begin investigation into these charges
next week.
Further indication of the interest taken
In the trusteeship campaign in the middle
west IS o1ered by the report from Michigan
that Supt. Barrie of the state Insurance
department has ruled that policy holders
in his jurisdiction must be left free to de-
eide for whom they will vote and thar
agents who violate this rule will have their
licenses revoked
In Washington the policy holders COM
mlttee, through Mr.. ]. ]. Darlington, locd
candidate on the Committees ticket for
trustee. has been vigorous in its nrotest
against the activity of the agents I'm the
capital in electioneering for the admins
tfatlon trustees, and Mr.. Darlington. in
interviews printed in The Star has been
severe in his arraignment of the agents
and the administration generally Follow
ing an idea suggested by the reported ac-
tion or Supt Barrie of Michigan. a ques-
ton was asked Thomas Z, Drake District
superintendent of insurance, yesterday con-
corning his attitude toward the participa-
uon OF agents of the New York Life and
Mutual Life in the campaign and toward
their alleged expenditure of policy holders,
money in such work.

Another Phase Develops.

The development of another phase of this
same question is indicated by letter writ
ten to Superintendent of Insurance Kelsey
of New York by Samuel Untermeyer, coun-
sci for the international poicyholders' COM
mittee, copies of which have just been re-
ceived in this city. Mr.. Untermeyer de-
clared that the New York Life and the
Mutual Life are making advances of money
to managers and agents throughout the
country to be used for electioneering pur-
poses.
The letter reads. in part, as follows:
I'VE ask that you promptly investigate in
each of the two companies the advances
thus made since October 1, which, we claim,
to be abnormal as compared even with pre-
yious years for the same parties, and that
you put stop to the supply of funds that
is being poured from the Golfers of the COM
panies into the hands of these managers
and agents and being used by them to IN
fluence the election and to circumyent the
intent of the law
In New York there is also considerable
discussion of the possibility of making the
charge of coercion which the International
policyholders' committee has made against
the Mutual Life the subject of grand jury
investigation. 1t has been urged upon Dis
trfct Attorney Jerome to take action, and
several affidavits have been obtained 1t Is
said sworn to by agents OF the company,
in which 1t is declared that the company
cancelled their contracts because they re-
fused to electioneer in the interests or the
administration ticket.

FEW GAUGE SERIOUS DAMAGE.
San Francisco Frequently Visited by
Earthquakes.

New York, April 19.-The Pacific
coast has been so frequently visited by
earthquakes that it was deemed un-
wise until few years ago to erect tall
buildings in San Francisco. 1t was
only with the advent of modern steel
construction, which was believed to
render tall buildings safe from the
earth's tremors, that skyscrapers made
their appearance on the Pacific coast.
In the last fifty years over 250 earth
quake shocks have been recorded in
San Francisco. The most severe were
in 1865 and 1898. In 1868 much dam
age was done to the city and many
lives were lost.
The disturbance of 1898 did not re-
suit in loss of life, but caused much
damage to property. This shock oc-
CURED at 11:43 p. m, March 81, and
houses all over the city were shaken
to their foundations. There was in
tense excitement and many miraculous
escapes were recorded The damage
was particularly severe along the
water front, for tidal wave rolled in
from the bay and wrecked small boats
and docks.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1906-04-19
FLAMES ARE SPREADING;
MARTIAL LAW IN FORCE.

The Palace hotel Is now on fire.
Other buildings on fire are the Claus
Spreckels structure, seventeen stories
high, the Phelan building and the
O'Farrell store. The south side of
Market street, between Fourth and
Fifth streets, is now on fire and the
flames are spreading In all directions.
The city Is now under martial law. 1t
seems that the entire business section
of San Francisco must be destroyed.
All business is suspended. AT this
moment there is only one wire out OF
San Francisco, Postal wire. The
Postal building Is badly damaged. The
operating room is total wreck. The
power of every kind is gone and there
are no lights, either gas or electric.
Between the Postal Office and the
water front there has been great dam
age by fire, which is burning fiercely,
and there is little or no water. The
fire is burning both on the east and
the south side of the Postal Telegraph
building.
The Mechanics pavilion has been
converted into a temporary hospital
and already several hundred victims of
the disaster are being treated there
by a corps of volunteer surgeons.

10 the use "a - namlIe ana Duhdlngs
are being demolished in the hope OF
staying the conhagration.
The block bounded by Sansome, Cal
ifornia Pine and Battery streets Is
practically doomed, the flames sweep
ing clear across it in great sheets from
Pine street, with no apparatus avail
able.
Fire has started in the sixteen-story
Call building on the Third street side.
1t is now burning fiercely in the in
terror of the building.
The end of the eleven-story Monad
mock building now nearing completion
has fallen out and the flames threaten
to cause great fire loss The front of
the Monadnock was badly cracked by
the earthquake. Although flames are
raging on all sides of the Palace hotel
that structure has not yet caught fire.
From present indications the entire
business district, both wholesale and
retail, will likely fall prey to the
flames, which are increasing In in
tensity, famed by the stiff breeze.

GREAT CREVlCES FORMED.
Damage Along the Southern Pacific Is
Serious.

Sacramento. Cal, April 19.-All the
plans for running trains on the West
ern division of the Southern Pacific
railroad between this city and Oak
land were knocked out by the terrific
earthquake shock. The train dis
patcher had no telegraph wires opcr-
atins to San Francisco and no connec-
tion could be had by telephone.
A short time after the big shock
came a message from Suisun, Solano
county, saying that a long section of
track had disappeared from view. It
was learned later that at one place
between Sprig and Teal stations In
the Suisun marshes for distance of
one mile and half the track had
sunk down three to six feet and at an
other point nearly 1000 feet of track
went out. Trains which were dis
patched for San Francisco early in the
morning had to be brought back and
they went to the Bay City by the
Lathrop route. 1t Is feared that 1t
will take several weeks to repair the
"nllansed track and. in the meantime
