HAS NOT PAID A CENT.
Vienna Insurance Company Has Made
No Move to Settle Frisco Loss.

san Francisco, July s.-The Exam
liner says:
The Austrian-Phoenix an old estab-
lished insurance company of Vienna.
Austria has so far not offered to adjust
a single loss nor has it even admitted
liability although its policies are OF
standard form and contain no earth
quake clauses. Concerning its attitude
and affairs Herr Witt, a representative
from Europe. states: Insurance peo-
pie are sadly misiuformed concerning
the San Francisco conhagratio1 and
its causes. I have suggested an. adj
justment of losses under the principles
laid down in the resolutions adopted
by the New York conference
One hundred and sixty-five settle
ments that have been effected by the
fire insurance companies, indicate that
in the business section of San Fran
cisco more than 100000, 600 will be
paid in coin to fire losers on the face
of the adjustm snts made on losses that
have already come before committees.
The average adjusted loss in the 166
instances mentioned is $84,S25, the
total payments being 100000. The
sound value Of 166 properties is given
at SIS. 900, coo by the adjusters. Con-
seouenfly the reduction for earthquake
damage and for all other causes in the
adjustments is $4,000, 600.

Cotton Picking By Machinery
A New Machine Invented, Designed To
 Pick Cotton By Air Suction

There are four seats on the ma chine to carry four operators, each operator controlling two picking arms. As the machine travels down a field. all of one row and one-half or each row at the side--in all, two rows-are picked. When the machine turns to go back, one row is skipped enabling the operators on the outside 10 pick the other side of their respective rows.
 The picking device is hollow, right -angled elbow, fastened by q hinge to the extension tubing. To the free end of the tubing is fastened a blower casing, with a rocking move ment, provided with fan. which serves to blow the cotton to the re- ceptacle.
 The picking arm is hinged to the lower casing. This casing Is trough like and has pulleys at each end, and over these travels a belt fitted with the curved teeth. All the operator has to do is to appy the picking end of an arm to the bolls as the machine runs through a field. The machine-in- vention of George A. Lowery-is run by gasoline engine. Cost of opera ton is said to be small.
 It is claimed that trials of the ma- chine in the United States show that the cost of labor can be reduced 90 per cent Facilities for gathering cotton crops have been wanting, and as many acres have not been raised as there is soil for cotton This ma chine, however may soon cause every available acre to come into Use. 9th CT machines, also claimed to be sue cessful, pick the cotton by suction.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1906-10-07
tFrom the Monterey News.)

The cotton industry may soon be reyolutioniZed by machines, invented recently, designed to pick cotton by automatic hands or air suction. Cotton crops do not mature simultaneously, and harvest time in the United States and in Mexico usually extends over several weeks each season, requiring the use of many hands, and the slow, labored gathering of raw material for the worlds staple fabrics by the fin ger method.
 In the southern states of the north ern republic practically all the cotton is picked by negroes and ill Mexico the peon does the work. If machin- cry takes the place of the human pick CTS the change will be made first in the United States for there the ex- pense of employing negroes is some what greater than that of employing the peon labor in Mexico. The plant CTS of the United States may have much money by the use of machinery but it is doubtful if any great economy would be the result of the oblitiOn of the peon in the fields of the Mexican planter.
 Heretofore the problem has been to invent a machine which would use iD1- Y the contents of mature bolls. The difficulty has just been overcome, So the mechanical world believes, by meeting the old method half way, for the picking arms of the new machine must be guided by hand. However, the machine works much faster than the human fingers.
 The machine is set on wheels and stands above the cotton. Long bags are suspended above the wheels, and from these a series of tubes project from the front and rear. The bags are receptacles for the picked cotton and the tubes are connected with the arms or conduits which convey the cotton to the bags. Teeth of such size and shape that they will pick cotton from the bolls are attached to a belt. The cotton is removed without the teeth coming in contact with the shell. and little or no foreign matter is taken up. and this little is prevented from enterng the bags by special contri. Vances
