CAN AFFORD TO PAY THE LOSS
Insurance Companies Show SUCH
PpOnts That SAN FFanciscO Dis
astep Will Not Break Them.

New York, May 1.-THE SUI
ferers BY the fire following the
earthquake In San Francisco Will
experience less loss through failure Of
their insurance underwriters than
those in any other great confagration
which heretofore has visited this
country, according to a statement
made by President John H. Wash
burn, Of the national board Of FIRE I'M
derwriters, at the i4th annual meet
ing of that organization Mr.. Wash
burn said that the San Francisco dis
aster found the insurance companies
better prepared than they ever were
before to meet such enormous losses
while the calamity is so recent
that the amount Of losses In the aggre-
gate or to the individual companies is
not yet known" he concluded, I'VE
have reason to believe that most OF
the companies will weather the storm
and that policyholders will recover
their losses with few or no excep-
TONS"
The aggregate property loss from
Ore in 1905 was reported to be $685.
201 $50 as against S229,19S.050 in 1904.

1876 United States companies In 1905

BICYCLE RIDERS
BEHIND RECORD
Walthour and Bedell Are Unable
to Make Up Their Lost
Lap.

Journal Special Service.
New York, Dec. 12.-Try as they win
Walthour and Bedell seem unable to
make up the lap they are behind the
other twelve teams that remain in the
bicycle race in the Madison Square Gar
den. Both Walthour and Bedell are
considered among tho fastest bicycle
riders in the world, but the other rid
ers in the race have thus far been able
to hold them. This may be due to the
fact that in the last twenty hours Be-
dell has been suffering from Indigestion
SO that his stomach has not been able
to retain solid food and he has not been
able to do himself full Justice. To-
day, however, Bedell felt better and
was able to eat chop. With renewed
strength he and Walthour may find that
they can gain the desired lap.
The riding of Walthour and Beden
has been the feature of the race up to
this time. Twice during the night
they set the crowd wild with their de-
termined sprints to gain the lap and
Bedell started the squirt and gained
nearly quarter of lap and then Wal
thour picked up his mate and continued
the race. Round and round he rode,
gaining gradually but surely. But
just as it seemed as if he would catch
the. flying bunch ahead Of him Hollis
ter's wheel wobbled and Root ran into
him causing a spill. Under the rules
governing fall Walthour s effort did
not count. Disappointed, but still
determined Walthour gave up the at
tempt for the time. Spectators are
sure to see some more fast riding dur
ing the day. At am. today the two
leading team had scored lob miles
and Z laps and Walthour and Be-
dell one lap less. This is nearly sew
entyfour miles behind the record Of
1908 miles and 7 laps made by Miller
and Waller in 1899.
The score at O'Clock am. which
concluded the ffty-sixth hour Of the
race was 1.O35 miles and 5 laps for all
the teams except the Walthour-Bedell
team, which was one lap less. The
record is 1,112 miles laps, made by
Miller and Waller in 1899.
At l pm. the scores were l,122
miles for all except Wa1thour and
Bedell, who were a lap behind.

date for reelection, but is being strongly
opposed by rival interests headed by
John T. Brush of the New York club
and Garry Hermann Of Cincinnati.
James A. Hart, formerly owner and
president of the Chicago club, was also
spoken of as a possible candidate.

POTTS TOO CLEVER
.. FOR MARK NELSON

timmy Potts demonstrated his clever
ness in boxing by outpointing Mark
Nelson the North Dakota blizzard,
at the regular monthly entertainment
for the members of the Cooke Insti-
tute last night. Nelson outweighed
Potts by about eight pounds and was
game as a pebble. The exhibition was
to have gone for ten rounds, but Mel
son was not in condition to make a
good showing after the third round,
and Potts gained the decision at the
stopping Of the bout. Potts gave a
splendid exhibition.
Tug Wilson Of Minneapolis and
Young Higgins Of St. Paul, two sun
burned descendants Of African poten-
tates, put up a bowling six-round exhi-
bition. The Minneapolis boxer was
very tall, while the St. Paul lad was
short and possessed the proportions of
a. beerbarrel. Neither attempted to
hurt the other, and their antics were
highly amusing. g
Roy Moore Of Minneapolis outpointed
Kid Anderson Of Winnipeg in rather
easy style. A large attendance marked
the entertainment, and a number Of
women, wives of the members, watched
the proceedings. =. 49,. -

ASK FOR WAIVERS
ON THREE men
Mike Cantillon Said to Have Vac,
ger, Shannon and Cadwalla-
der Listed. --,.-..

Advices, coming in a roundabout
way from Chicago, lead to the belief
that Mike Cantillon is preparing a
general shakeup of the millers for
1907. Fox has already been sold to
Lincoln, Neb., and now comes word
that waivers have been asked on
Yaeger and Shannon, catchers, and on
y Cadwallader of the pitching staff. The
report further goes that Shannon and
Cadwallader, if no other club on the
syndicate circuit wants them, will be
4 sent to Des Moines to brace up Can
tillon 8 second team in that city.
Freeman is also thought to be on the
list, and he expects to be sold or ex-
changed by the new management Of the
club. Oyler may not play baseball next
season and Sullivan is still refusing
to go to Boston. "Lefty'' Davis will
gladly go to Cincinnati, where he was
drafted. This leaves only Greminger,
Thomas, Ford, Kilroy, Sporer and Hart
of the last season s team still on the
slate for 1907.
AS the headquarters Of the club still
remain in Chicago, there is no way of
verifying these reports, but as they
come from the elmer circles' of base
ball affairs in the city, they are gen.
orally accepted as true.
