VIII Pay san Francisco Losses Literally.

/. Special Gable Despatch 10 The sun.
LONDON, May a.-At a meeting Of the
Commercial Union Assurance Company
to-day Chairman Trotter said that tho San
Francisco fire was not likely to cause perma-
nent injury to any first class companies,
The Commercial Union was able and willing
to deal with the confla grafton in the. same
manner as with other fires, settling the
claims literally and promptly. The man.
ayers of insurance companies, he said,
always considered the possibility of several
large fires occurring in the same year.
Tn company's aggregate Of Insurance in
theNdestroyed district was about IS ,OCO 900.
Rates had already been raised in the United
States and there was 10 doubt that the
flip given business by the fire would soon
rtpav tho losses.

obtained by hook or crook" proxies for

Northern People Condemn Bishop Tur-
ner for InHan,matory Remarks
Made at Macon Negro Meeting.

The Office of Mayor Bridges Smith
at Macon, Georgia, is being literally
flooded with mail from many
northern citizens protesting against
the utterances of Bishop H. NJ. Tur-
rer in the recent negro meeting in
that city, when many negro leaders
expressed themselves in strong terms
regarding the proposed disfranchise-
ment of their race in Georgia. Those
who wrote wanted to know of Mayor
Smith if this utterance should be
accredited to Turner. It was hand
led by the Associated Press, and the.
utterance referred to is as follows:
Turner declared the American flag
to be dirty and contemplate rag.
He further said that hell was an i'm
proyement on the United States when
the negro was involved. In closing
he said: "If a little ignorant and
stupid white man who has never
teen heard Of and never would be
heard of until 10000 years after the
resurrection trumpet, wishes a little
lotoriety, he begins to belle and SLAM
der the negro and bounds into pop.
ularity. And I challenge any one or
all Ct them to meet me in public dis
cussion and will show that the me-
gro is a far better man than they
are"
The most spirited disapproval OF
Bishop Turner's utterance came in
letter from Indianapolis, reading as
follows: "If there are any white men
in Macon they ought to thrash that
dirty black brute within an inch of
his life" Another letter, Enclosing
the clipping, adds: eve think he de-
serves the full extent Of Macon's wrath
and the prosecution Of the govern.
ment. Really such mild punishment
is far too dignifed method in which
to handle such fend."
There are others that speak in such
strong terms coming from many ether
points and it is evident that there :s
strong feeling against Turner for the
utterance. One Grand Army man ts

QUICK BANK WRECK
Organized in December and
Now in Hands of Receiver.
PRESIDENT UNDER BAN
ALLEGATION That Officials of the lnsti'
tuition Have Done as They Pleased
with the Funds Depositors
May Be Saved.

The Bank of America, incorporated
In Chicago last December, with a cap
ital stock Of s25O,OOO, Thursday night,
was placed in the hands Of receiver
on complaint Of John E. Kavanaugh,
stockholder. The bill asking for
the receivership holds former Judge
Abner Smith, president and three
other officers of the bank responsible
for the alleged insolvency of the in
stitution.
In the few weeks since the opening
Of the bank, President Smith is chars'
ed with having so manipulated seeur-
tiles, mortgages and notes and stock
Of the bank that he has obtained
amounts aggregating $14e,ooO. The
other three officers, who, in connection
with President Smith are held respon-
s:ble for the alleged, insolvency OF the
bank are: G. F. Sorrow, vice presi-
dent; Jerome V. Pierce, cashier, and
F. E. Greelman, stockholder and
director. .s .
1t is charged against these officials,
together with President Smith, that
they have done as they pleased with
the funds of the bank, have voted
themselves such salaries as they de-
sired, and have lent the money of the
incorporation on such securities as
they saw fit.
The bank had about 100000 in de-
posits, Of which $4,000 was in saw
ings accounts of working people. The
representatives of the bank declare
there is 40 per cent of the cash on
band and a large amount Of paper,
the value Of which is unknown. On
this paper depends the chance OF the
bank Nquidating in full.
Attorney Clarence Darrow, who !s
a stockholder, paid up to the extent
Of $1,000, personally has come 70
the rescue of the saving depositors.
GAIL savings depositors will be paid
in full" said Attorney Darrow. Il
will buy their checks as they are pre-
sented at the bank. The bank Will
be opened in the morning under
charge Of Receiver Healey."
Mr.. Greelman, who is charged with
unloading a. large amount Of paper
on the institution, is Chicago lum-
Der merchant, and is said to have large
lumber interests in Nashville, Tenn.

DEATH CLAIMS M'CALL.
Troubles and TribaIations Of Former
President Of New York Life In.
suranee Company Are Ended.

+ John A. Mccall, until recently pres
ident of the New York Life Insur
ance Company, died at 5:33 o'clock
Sunday afternoon at the Laurel house
in Lakewood, N. j., where he hal
been taken three weeks ago in the
hope that the change might benefit
his health, which had suffered a
breakdown two months ago.
~ The news Of the death was not
given out by the family until some
time after the end. Then Mr.. Nc.
Calls son, Jchn C. Mccall, briefly
announced:
The end has come. MY father has
passed away"
Mr.. Mccall had been unconscious
since about l o'clock Sunday morn
ing, except possibly for ore brief min
Ute in the afternoon, when his eyes
opened and looked into the face Of
his wife, who was bending over him.
He smiled and as he did SO he closed
his eyes again and remained in coma
until the end.
It was announced that Mr.. McCall's
death was due to enlargement of the
liver, and the end had been peaceful
and without pain.
Mrs. Mccall is now under medical
care. She had become worn out by
the long Tigil at the bedside Of her
husband, and when he died she prac-
tically collapsed, although it Is
thought her condition will not Gtvelop
seriously.
Mr.. McCall's physical breakdown
occurred about the close Of the in
vestigation of life insurance affairs
in New York by the legislative COM
mittee in December. The report Of
the committee is expected to be sub
mitted to the legislature at Albany
early this week. Mr.. McCall's exam
ination before the committee was Sc.
we're one, and the ordeal he underwent
rehearsing in detail the affairs Of
the company, and in divulging trans
actions about which the general pub
lie was ignorant, worried him greatly,
it was said.
Mr.. Mccall was ill in bed at his
home in New York city when he af-
fixed his signature to his letter OF
resignation from the presidency of
the New York Life.
About three weeks ago his condi-
ton became such that his physicians
and family deemed it advisable to re-
move him to Lakewood. During all
this time, Mr.. Mccall worried con-
stantly about his business afairs.
He was compelled first to mort.
gage and then to sell his handsome
country place at Long Branch, N. J.,
in order, it was stated, to repay TO
the New York Life Insurance COM
pany S235,0OO on the Andrew Hamil-
ton account, Mr.. Hamilton, the legis-
latiye agent of the company, having
made no accounting for this sum.
Mr.. Mccall had promised when the
Hamilton disclosures first were made,
