SACRED HEART COLLEGE
PREPARES TO OPEN DOORS
Brothers Secure Temporary Home,
where Glasses VIII Meet Until
NcyF Building Is Finished.

Sacred Heart College, formerly at
Eddy and Larkin streets, is now tenn
porarHy located at Fell and Fillmore
streets. and classes in the collegiate,
commercial. academic and grammar
departments will open next Tuesday.
Brother Lewis. last years president.
and most of last years faculty are in
their temporary home, preparing for
the opening day. The registration Of
new students has been going on for
several days.
The property at Eddy and Larkin
streets occupied by the old Sacred
Heart College is about to be leased
for term of years. so that it is
highly Improbable that the proposed
new structure will be erected there.
The brothers prefer a site removed
from the business district and at the
same time accessible by carlines from
ali parts OF the city. This is an i'm
perative necessity, as the students at
tending Sacred Heart College come
from every residence district. from San
Mateo, Menlo and the bay cities. 1t is
understood that the new building will
he completed within a year.

WILL SOD Q|TCHES
ON SHASTA LINE.

The maintenance OF way department
OF the Southern Pacific proposes to sod
and plant grass along every piece OF
irrigation ditch bank. that faces it's
roadbed on the Shasta route. 1t be-,
lieves that this simple scheme will pre-:
vent the recurrence OF landslides such
as that which Is tying up the northern
end OF the system at the present time
superintendent T. r. Jones OF the
Sacramento division has left for Duns-
muir to personally supervise the clear
ing of the track buried under the land
slide of Tuesday morning. Before his
return he will talk with the farmers
OF tue neighborhood and get them to
assist the Southern Pacific In grasstng
and maintaining the irrigation. ditch
banks. He will report to the ONCE of
the General Superintendent. e
Sodding of banks has been success
fully tried by the Denver and Rio
Grande in Colorado and Utah. The
grass grows on the banks and draws
sufficient water from the ditch to keep
it alive. 1t is not expensive to care for
and il Is the simplest way of prevent
ing washouts- A similar washout to
that at Dunsmuir occurred near the
same spot last May. At that time the
trains were tied up for forty-efg ght

COMPANY
STOPS PAYMENTS.
Agents Decline to Make
Further Adjustments
and Business Ceases
SUITS PROBABLE

The German Insurance Company Of
Freeport has suspended the transaction
Of all business al its Offices in Oakland.
The fire in San Francisco made this
company loser to the amount OF Sb,-
100000. Payments are reported to have
been made that represent, s2.000.000 on
the faces OF policies where adjust
ments and settlements have been ef-
fected. This leave sa.50o.ooo unpaid.
Policy holders have been told that
there will be no more adjustments at
present There has been some question
whether a horizontal cut could ever
have been considered an adjustment"
but that was what the office force of
the German of Freeport styled the
slashng of the faces of policies.
Sidney NJ. Van Wyck Jr.. president OF
the German Of Freeport Policy Holders
organization OF this city, went to Oak
land yesterday and interviewed Mr..
Johnson, the adjuster for the company,
at 9oI Broadway. and also c. H. Ward
al Cos Eleventh street. These officials,
so Van Wyck says, treated him very
courteousiy. but they declined to say
what the company would do, except
that they declined to make an adjust
ment on any loss. Whether the corpora
tiou will withdraw from the State is
an open question.
CLAIMS BIG BALANCE.
According to the latest statement
published by the German OF Freeport
there is no reason why 1t should not
pay In full. 1t has been paying at the
rate of so cents on the dollar until IL
decided to quit. The only statement
given In regard TO its act is that the
people at the head of the concern wish
to look into its financial condition.
The eighty-third semi-annual state
ment of the company makes the claim
that the gross assets are S6.e13,40i; that
the policy holders surplus is sl,0io, 223;
that it has on hand in cash In the hands
Of agents sT95,l3l and in banks and Of
fees sl.64O,362 This statement bears
the date of July l. 1906.
In view OF all the facts meeting OF
the policy holders of the German OF
Freeport has been called to take action.
c. H Ward is credited with saying TO
policy holders in the last few days that
the German would become iDsolvent II
it continued to pay them atdhe rate OF
60 cents on the dollar This looks Ike
an attempt to force them TO settle at
still lower basis.
PRAISED IN THE EAST.
The difference between the represen-
tations made in San Francisco to
frighten policy-holders into taking low
PERCENTAGES in settlement of hre losses
and the representations that are made
in the East to keep the public busy In
the payment of premiums is indicated
by the following in the Insurance
Leader, paper published at st. Louis
The eighty-third semi annual state
ment of the German of Freeport viii be
found elsewhere in this issue. 1t re-
fleets much credit on the management
and leaves no doubt as to the financial
strength of the company, in spite OF
the heavy losses sustained in the San
Francisco conflagration
A large number of suits will probabl.
be filed against the German of f'reepor'

wILLIAMsBuBGH STATEMENT.
Claims That Earthquake Annulled
Threc-Fourths of Policies.

A statement has been issued by the
Williamsburgh City Insurance Com
pany. in which the claim is made that
the earthquake clause covers $1.s34.556
of lis liabilities in San Francisco and
that the liability under the standard
form policies amounts to s556.674.
which roughly indicates that the earth
quake clause was inserted In three
fourths of the company's business and
that but one-fourth has no such clause.
President briggs makes the state
mert that IF the court decides we are
liable under the earthquake clause the
total net losses under all policies. will
be sl,O5s,s2s,"
On the earthquake clause policies
reinsurance amounts to S534,si4 and
there is $ii6,40o OF reinsurance on the
standard form business. On January
i. 1906. the company claimed to have a
net surplus of si.4s2.7le.

that you must have the equivalent OF

that one of these suits must contain an
