FIFTY-FoUR EXTEND TIME.

surance concerns have now granted the
extension of time, and Commissioner
Wolf expects many more to follow dur
ing the next two days The last day
for either signing the time stipulation
or sending in a list of poIicy-holders
and the description of policies expires
on Saturday, and those insurance com
panies which do neither are likely to
find themselves in serious predica-
ment. Commissioner Wolf will not saw
what steps he will take against those
companies that defy the State law by
failure to comply with its requirements,
but it is likely that they will be pro-
ceeded against at once. The law just
passed by the Legislature provides a
penalty of prohibition from doing
future business in California or a fine
of $1,000.
Many of the insurance companies are

Jury Convicts the Chicago,
Burlington and
Quincy.
Concessions to Packing
Companies Prove
Improbable.
Defendant Is Subject to
Fines on Each Of
Four Counts.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TqE/ CALI.


Z KANSAS CITY. June 13.-The Chi
cago. Burlington and Quincy Railroad
Company was found guilty here late
this afternoon by jury in the United
States District Court on four counts of
having granted concessions on packing
house shipments for export to the Ar
mour Packing Company, Swift & Co.,
Cudahy 81 Co. and the Nelson-Morris
Packing Company. The conviction car
ried with it a fine of from $1,000 TO
$4,000 on each count Judge Smith
Mcpherson, the presiding Judge, de-
ferred sentencing the defendant until
June 2S.
All four counts are practically the
same. The case of the Armour Packing
Company, on which instructions were
read to the jury. charged specifically
that the Burlington on August II, 1905,
accepted a shipment of oleo oil from
Kansas City to Liverpool at rate that
included a rate of 23 cents a hundred
pounds, Mississippi to New York,
whereas the regular tariff at that time
was 35 cents.
To simplify the case A S. Van VAL
kenburgh. District Attorney for the
Government, and Judge o. NJ. Spencer
of st. Joseph, representing the defend
ant, signed an agreement of facts,
which was in effect that the Burlington
did contract with the packers to carry
their product at 23 cents for the dis
tance named, or a rate of 40 cents for
the whole distance from Kansas City
to Liverpool. Only a half dozen wit
nesses were examined. their testimony
being largely technical and pertaining
to the tariffs in existence at the time
covered in the indictment.
Judge Mcpherson. in instructing the
jury, said that the Burlington Railroad
had no right to make a contract for a
period longer than the established rate
of 22 cents should be in force. To have
carried shipments for % cents after
August IT, 1905, when the tariff was
raised to 30 cents, would be considered
a concession. The failure Of the Bur-
lington to file the schedule of % cents
was immaterial.
CHICAGO, June I'D. E. Hartwell.
secretary for Swift & Co.. packers. re-
ferring today to the decision in the So
called report rebate case in the Federal
court at Kansas City, said:
The case in question does not involve
rebates The shipments were made at
the contract rates and payments of
freight made accordingly, and all rates
were shown on the bill of lading, no re-
bates being received The Supreme
Court of the United States has held that
the rate on export shipments may De
less than the rate on interstate or do
mestic shipments. If Judge McPherson's
opinion be sustained, no shipper can
figure in advance what it will cost him
to transport his products. and shippers
will be seriously embarrassed in max
ing contracts for future delivery. In
this case the law was not so determined
in advance that Swift & Co. could knoG
that they were violating the law. and,
as a matter of fact, they were advised
by able legal counsel that in acting on
the contract they were not violating
the interstate commerce act"

Two Companies Announce Their
Temporary Retirement

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW lORh, June 13.-In two differ
ent instances announcement has been
made by fire insurance companies which
were hit by the great San Francisco
disaster of the reinsurance of their out
standing liabilities in new fire insur-
ance companies organized since the
earthquake
The North German Fire Insurance Com
pany of this city has reinsured its net
outstanding liabilities, exclusive of Cali
ifornia. in the Cosmopolitan Fire In
surance Company, recently organized.
The North German Company's assets
on January 1, 1906, were $6O1, 900; its
reserve fund, S270,0o0 and it's surplus
$4,000. It's capital was 100000. The
San Francisco losses are estimated at
$16o.000 net, which will be adjusted and
paid. The company, it is reported,
probably will resume business later.
The Security Fire Insurance Company
of Baltimore, which recently announced
its suspension of business, has rein
sured all of it's outstanding claims, with
the exception of those in California, in
the New Jersey Fire Insurance Com
pany, organized since the San Fran
cisco disaster.
Like the North German Company, the
Security, it is said. probably will re-
sumo business when the matter of the
San Francisco losses has been settled.

STOCKTON, June 13.-The spectators
who have crowded Judge Nutter's
courtroom from day to day hoping to
hear something sensational in the lie
Doux murder trial have so far been
disappointed. The evidence up to this
point has to great extent been a
recital of physical facts, and none Of it
has as yet pointed directly to the sac-
cused as far as her actual connection
with the death of McVicar is concerned.
Much of the testimony has been of a
decidedly technical character, dry and
uninteresting to the point of WEAKNESS.

between witnesses and defendants
counsel.
Almost the entire session today was
taken up by rigid cross examination
of Professor R. r. Rodgers, the
chemist who analyzed the tissues from
the viscera of the dead man. He was
closely catechiSed regarding his ex-
periments and on more than one occa-
sion he asked Attorney Fairall for the
defense to please remember that he had
answered some of the questions several
times and told all he knew about the
matters inquired into. Once the court
rebuked the witness for telling the
attorney to stop repeating the ques-
tions. and once the court rebuked the
attorney for suggesting that the wit
ness was paid fee for testifying. Most
of the poisons known to science, to-
gether with their effect upon the
system, were the subject of inquiry.
Rodgers stuck to his declaration, how
ever, that morphine had caused the
death of McVicar, and that he could

to Charles b. Gilbert, vice president of
the Calumet Insurance Company, to-

over buildings destroyed in the lower
