GERMAN CONCERNS

Consul Bopp Advises That
Policy-Holders Refuse
to Compromise.

OAKLAND, July e.-Franz Bopp, Ger
man Consul at San Francisco, whose
headquarters are temporarily located
at s5s Clay street. in this city, de-
clares that all the German insurance
companies involved in the San Fran
cisco fire losses will pay dollar for
dollar, and he advises every person
holding a matured policy against any
of the corporations not to accept an
unfair compromise.
Consul Bopp has made an exhaustive
investigation Of the insurance situ-
alton and has thoroughly informed his
imperial Government of the existing
conditions. Although he would not
commit himself directly on the attitude
of Emperor William toward the Ger
man companies that have refused to
pay their losses thus far because of the
earthquake clause" and those that are
scaling their liabilities and paying less
than a dollar where dollar is hon
estly due the policy-holders, Consul
Bopp implied that the ruler of the Ger

wise or well for them to repudiate their

She remained scarcely more than ten
minutes in the prison. and after leav-

husbands attorneys.
That Mrs. Thaw and Stanford White
were on friendly terms up to last Sep
tember is the assertion made in a
signed statement given out today by
John Burns, who was employed by
White as a chauffeur. Burns says in
his statement that on two occasions,
once in February and again in Sep
tember, 1906 an electric cab which he
drove was placed at Mrs. Thaw's dis
posal by White. The first of these oc-
casions was before her marriage, the
second was five months later. In each
instance, according to the chauffeur.
she was taken from a restaurant to her
hotel, and in neither case did White
accompany her.
Burns says that he was engaged by
to drive his electric cab between the
hours of p. m. and 3 a. m. and con-
tinued in his employ until the latter
part of September of that year. The
use OF the electric machine was dis
continued at that time, he says. because
of the persistent following of the cab

Mrs. de Lancy Sturt, who claims to
be the wife of a Philadelphia mil
onaire is Fastening from County
Clerk to County Clerk, fearful lest her
only daughter succeeded in marrying
a coachman who can only drive and
sing, and evidently WOO like
courtier. She has visited the Clerks
of San Francisco, Marin and Alameda
counties, and to each asks the question.
Has my daughter married Hawkins?"
And each Clerk has peered deep into
his great license book and declared
NO madam; no such names appear on
our list"
Behind the frantic questioning of
Mrs de Lancy Sturt, If her story is
true, lies a romance such as will make
the blood tingle in the veins of many
a young maiden. 1t is the story of
the rich young girl and the dashing
coachman; the flight of the mother
with her unwilling daughter to avoid
the attentions of the servant; his pur
suit through the West, and, finally, the
mother believes, a secret wedding.
Mrs de Lancy Sturt said yesterday
on her return from the Alameda County
4eourthouse that she had fed from
Philadelphia with her daughter to
avoid the attentions of Hawkins. Haw-.
kins is an Englishman, as handsome
as any Philadelphia coachman. He
was employed by the Sturts in the
Quaker City and often drove Eva Sturt
about the city. He fell desperately in
love with her. He told her about it
one day and to his joy she promised to
be his wife.
The clandestine courtship went on
for many months before the girls
parents grew suspicious, according to
Mrs. de Lancy Sturt. They made seri-
Gus objections, told the daughter she
could not marry him and finally took
her away from Philadelphia. Haw-
kins was, of course, discharged.
Mrs. de Lancy Sturt came to Los
Angeles. To her dismay she saw
Hawkins talking to her daughter one
afternoon Mother and daughter came
to Santa Cruz. The willy Hawkins was
So did Hawkins.
Last week Eva Sturt disappeared for
two days from their Franklin street
apartments. Her mother could not
trace her. Yesterday the daughter re-
turned, saying that she had been visit
ing friends in Oakland Meanwhile
Hawkins had dropped from sight.
Mrs. de Lancy Sturt is frantic with
fear She believes that her daughter
and Hawkins ran away and were mar
ried. He says that he comes from
noble family" she said yesterday, but
1 don't care about that. He can't have

is in love with hlm. If they are mar
