The panic In 1898 brought out strik-

has been elemental in the building up
of this bank. Never were the times
more stressful for a bank and never
did a bank meet the issue more proud

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1s.-wher
fire broke out tonight in the Southern
Pacific yards, the flames leaping high
in the air and rapidly consuming the
sheds and several trains Of freight cars,
citizens of San Francisco who beheld
them feared that another conflag grafton
of grave proportions was at hand.
Because of the infiammable nature of
the surrounding property it was al
most impossible to check the progress
of the flames. and before sufficient
amount of water could be secured the
depot at Third and Townsend streets
was in grave danger.
The firemen worked with will. how
ever. and after fifteen streams had
been directed on the burning structures
for an hour the danger was apparently
over.
Great crowds from Market street and
the water front made their way to
the scene of the fire, and almost with
bated breath awaited the success or
failure of the firemen in battling with
the flames. Store buildings were ex-
posed, as were also large warehouses
in the immediate neighborhood, but all
of these were saved.
Early in the evening an estimate
was made that the loss would be $780,
900, but it is likely that the amount
will be far greater than this.
The area burned is considera BILE, and
If the freiPht cars that went up in
smoke were loaded with merchandise

FIREMEN DO HEROIC WORK
Spread Of Flames Confined to the
Southern Pacific Yards

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1s.-Fire
broke out tonight in the freight sheds
of the Southern Pacific company on
Berry street, between Fifth and Sixth,
and made rapid progress on account
of the inflammable material in its path.
Some alarm was felt throughout the
city on account of the quickly spread
ing action of the flames, but the reor-
ganized fire department proved Itself
equal to the emergency.
1t was the first real test the firemen
have had since the confagration Of
April.
Numerous fire companies were rap
idly on the scene and soon had a dozen
or more streams playing on the flames
with the result that surrounding prop
erty was protected.
The water supply was ample and in
good order
Alongside of the sheds were four
tracks of freight cars and these were
consumed.
1t is impossible at this time to give
an accurate estimate OF the loss, as
that fact hinges op whether OF moi
the cars were loaded with freight and
also upon the amount of goods that
was stored in the sheds.
An early estimate placed the damage
at 100000 and that estimate may pos
sibly cover the company's loss.
OIL Tanks Explode
The sheds were coast receiving sheds
and contained much valuable merchan-
disc. Shed /, one block in length, was
totally destroyed. The fire started in
the Sixth street end of this shed short
ly before o'clock and was discovered
by Watchman James Mullaney, who
Immediately turned in an alarm.
BY the time the first engine arrived
the entire shed was ablaze and the
flames quickly spread to long lines of
freight cars on the tracks. many of
which were loaded. Chief Shaugnessy,
upon his arrival. turned in four alarms
In quick succession. For a time over
$50 freight cars were threatened with
destruction.

chemicals and two oil tanks caught on

For an hour the fire gave the hre

NEW YORK Oct. 1S.-The most
startling Development in the present
political campaign in this state came
today when Charles F. Murphy, leader
of Tam1nany Hall, publicly announced
that money had been demanded by
repres sertatives of the independence
league in considera tion of the with
drawal of their candidates In certain
districts,
This was followed by the serving or
Mr. Murphy of a subpoena to appear
before the grand jury in John Doe pro-
ceedings and testify as to his charges
The subpoena was issued by District
Attorney jerome after a conferences
with Judge Otto A. Rosalsky of the
court of general sessions. who, Mr.
Murphy intimated had given up money
for the Endorsement Of the league. Mr.
Murphy charged that certain Inde.
pende league managers had de-
manded money for the withdrawal Of
their candidates in congressional. SEN
atorial and assembly districts where a
third ticket had been put in the field.
"It is a fact" said Mr.. Murphy, 'that
many of our candidates for congress-
and the legislature have been ap-
preached by representatives of the In
dependence league and money has beer
demanded Of them. Our men refused
to give up and it was only then that
the league put up opposition candi-
dates. The men who demanded money
were representatives of that organiza-
ton. If we had paid what they asked
there would be no league ticket in the
field against u.s."
Charge Is Denied
Max F. Ihmsen. who has charge oi
the Independence league headquarters
gave out formal statement denying
Mr.. Murphy's charges.
The statement says;
"The managers of the independence
league, so called, are not n y can
didates for cash. If any C IN re.
motely connected with the lie has
attempted such a thing We snall be
glad to know the facts.
