POLICIES LISTED
Legislation Planned by
Committee to Aid
Families.
Relief for Those Who
Do Not Remember
Company.

A matter of legislation affecting
hundreds of poor families whose prop
/ erty was destroyed and who have lost
their insurance papers has been de-
cided upon by the revision committee
of the joint committee on call for
special session of the Legislature for
! incorporation in the proposed call.
The new provision, which will add
a new section to the Political Code,
! is aimed to give information and re-
| lief to those who were insured and
who do not remember in what COM
pany they had taken a policy. The
new section calls upon the insurance
companies to furnish a list of policies
with number and name upon the re-
quest of the Commissioner
A portion of the new section reads:
A new section to be known as section
! 597A: The Commissioner has power to
and whenever he deems necessary may, in
writing, require any company engaged
in insurance business in the State of
! California to furnish the Commissioner
as of a date past or present, to be des-
| ignated by the Commissioner, a full and
complete list of all its policies of insur-
ance on property risks located within that
portion of the State of California includ-
ed within the territory described by the
| Commissioner, and which policies had not
| by the terms thereof expired, on the date
list must show the number of the policy,
the name in which the policy was issued,
the amount for which it was issued the
| nature and description of the property
on which the policy was written. or the
nature of the risk assumed by the COM
pany, the location of the property and
| the residence of the insured, and the form
or class of such policy as designated on
the policy by the company
Penalties directed at the bonds filed
by offending companies are provided
for infraction of the statute.
The revision committee Will be
ready 10 report on the matter of State
bonding this morning to the joint
committee in time for embodiment in
it's final report to the general commit
tee. 1t is probable that s5,000,000 of
State bonds will be issued for the re-
pair and reconstruction of State build
ings. The remainder of the sum will
be utilized TO cover appropriations for
other State needs, so that the present
tax rate will not be raised and outside
capital may be assured of an oppor-
tunity TO invest without being threat
ened with burdensome taxation.

SOUTH PARK SETTLEMENT
COUNCIL SHOWS TRUE GRIT
Decides That Work Must Not Be Given
Up, Though Fire Destroys Building
and Eduipnent.

Among the public institutions in the
burned district the South Park Settle
ment is among the heaviest losers. While
the building suffered very little from the
earthquake the fire swept it away and
the handsome equipment given by Mrs.
Phebe Hearst. The residents were only
able to save a few personal possessions,
and were obliged to spend the first night
without shelter at China Basin.
At a recent meeting of the Council OF
the Settlement it was unanimously de-
cided that the work must not be given up
and that an effort should be made 70 To-
cate the members of the clubs formerly
meeting in the house. and TO relieve any
who were in distress Many members OF
the women's clubs have already joined
in the work of the Settlement sewing
room at the Hearst School. Several OF
the clubs for young men and girls have
also held meetings. Dane Coolidge. the
director Of the boys clubs. has taken a
party of his boys TO Palo Alto. where
they are receiving the best Of care.
Most Of the Settlement workers and
residents are actively engaged in the re-
lief work. DIR. NJ. Smith. the acting chief
worker, has made a special investigation
of the conditions in the Chinese camps
at the request OF DR.. Devine. Miss Lucille
Eaves. who was on leave of absence at
Columbia University. started west imne-
diately on hearing Of the disasters that
had overtaken the city and she and her
sister. Miss Ruth Eaves. have been busy
assisting in the Red Cross employment
bureau and sewing rooms. Miss Mary
Kidder has been in charge of a Red
Cross relief station at China Basin The
other residents and workers have also
found plenty to do.
As il is doubtful whether the working
people will make their homes in the
same locality no attempt will be made
to rebuild the Settlement house until the
association can discover where IL is most
needed In the meantime a temporary
meeting place will be secured and an ef-
fort made to keep the clubs and workers
together.

BUOYANT PUBLIC SPIRIT
IMPRESSES THE VISITOR
Frank BeIcher, ErstwhlIe Favorite Club
man and Singer, Returns to City
and Notes Peoples Grit

'T never was so proud of San Fran
cisco-so glad TO call the city my home
as / am at this moment" said Frank
Belcher, than whom there was no more
popular clubman or vocalist here seven
years ago. He returned Saturday after
achieving nothing but triumph wherever
his magnificent barytone voice was heard
in opera or concert, and he has sung in
many lands.
1T is the spirit shown by the people
that elates me-" he explained. "where
the desolation is create the popular
buoyancy seems to be most marked When
the first shock caused by seeing the dew
astation is past and the visitor -egins to
note what the townsfolk are saving and
doing, his sorrow gives way to wonder
ment and admiration. for he sees no evil
dence of public detection. nor does he
hear individual whining. On all sides
there is only the hustle of reconstruction
The people who have not actually segun
TO rebuild are planning to do it, And
they go about it in a way that proves
their earnestness and assures the city's
rapid restoration more emphaticaliy than
could mere empty boosting
How could people like THAT possibly
be kept down any longer than there is
possibility of their rising? If they speak
at all of what is past their words are
lightsome- But when they allude to the
future there is in both sentiment and tone
the determination that wins.
God bless dear old San Francisco ana
the California grit that is raising her from
the ashes. In the time Of her greatest
prosperity she never appeared more beau
tiful to me than she does today
Mr. Belcher is a guest of his brother n
well-known newspaper man. and expects
TO spend some time in the city he is So
proud of.

LADY WARWICI<z' TELLS HOW
TO SOLVE LABOR PROBLEM.

If one asks, Where is the money to
come from? I ask in reply, Where does
the annual tribute Of more than 1,000,-
100000 pounds for rent, profit and in
terest come from? Where do all the
taxes come from? What other source
is there Of all tribute public or pri-
vate, save the products Of our trades
and industries? Taxation, which goes
to organize, develop and regularize in
dustry, to raise the standard Of a peo-
PIES life, increases the very fund from
which it is provided. The share taken
by those who have earned nothing
would certainly be greatly reduced
either by our present class Of ministers
or by another class which will super
sede them.
Little Comfort for Masses.
The mass Of people know so little
even of the comforts Of life, expect so
few Of its joys, are SO easily satisfied
If they can but somehow pay their way,
endure the bitterest hardships and pri-
vations with so little complaint that
we have come to think they have less
feeling and courage than our cattle.
It Is in the nature Of bureaucracies
under plutocratic government as we'll
as autocratic to mistake peoples ig-
| norance for indifference and it's for
bearance for weakness.
Such mistakes have been konwn to
| end In rude awakenings. The school,
| masters work has incalcuable results
! The most wonderfully pathetic for
bearance has it's limits. Once it was
said: Society must settle this prob
! lem or it will settle society. Now we
| simply say: Society must settle this
| problem.
