BAPTIST LEADERS LOOKING
OVER SITUATION IN CITY
DR.. e. e. Chivers and DIR. C. A. Woody
Supervising Work of Restoration
of Church Buildings

DR.. E. E. Chivers, field secretary of
the American Baptist Home Mission
Society, arrived in the city Monday and
is spending several days in looking
over the local situation as 1t relates to
the Baptist interests here. DR.. c. A.
Woody, Pacific Coast secretary for the
society, is also here for month for the
same purpose.
DR.. Chivers was on the coast last
April and entered the burned city at
the earliest possible day. He at once
took the lead in measures for the rails
ing of a fund for the restoration of the
church buildings destroyed by earth
quake and fire. Through his efforts the
Home Mission Society was led to I'M
dertake the movement and has secured
about $3.50, 900 for rehabilitation of the
churches of San Francisco, Oakland and
San Jose. DIR. Chivers personally Sc
cured the donation of one-half this
amount from John d. Rockefeller, who
agreed to give dollar for dollar on all
money raised by the society for this
purpose up to a total of s150,o00. The
local Baptist relief committee now has
two representatives in the East. push
ing the campaign to complete this fund.
Dr. Chivers will preach twice while
in the city-at the First Baptist Church,
1920 O'Farrell street, next Sunday
morning, and at the Hamilton square
Church, Post and Steiner streets, in the
evening of the same day. He will lea re
for Portland next week.

SCHOOLS TO HAVE
COAL TODAY

The coal famine, as far as the public
schools were concerned, was little less
yesterday than it was the day previ-
Gus and there were twelve schools in
which no classes were held. Today,
however, the schools will open as
usual, as the shortage in fuel will be
ended. The Western Fuel Company,
which was accused of depriving the
school contractor of coal that it might
sell to the public at an advanced price,
permitted the Board of Education to
take all the coal from it's bunkers on
Steuart street that could be hauled
away. All of the wagons of L. Brazzo-
lara & Son, the contractors, and other
wagons pressed into service by the
Board of Education, were busy deliv-
ering from half a ton to a ton OF coal
to each of the schools where the sup
ply was short.
The blame for the shortage, which
necessitated the closing of the schools
for two days In some districts, is laid
by the Western Fuel Company on Bril-
zolara, who is alleged to have received
ESQ tons of coal for the schools and to
have delivered only 30 tons. The con-
tractor on the other hand states that
the western FUEL company, through
its desire to reap a harvest due to the
famine in fuel, would not deliver him
coal when he called for it.
The bond in Brizzolara's case is only
$500 and it is not enough to protect the
school board in event 1t bought coal
and delivered it on it's own account
The drayage expense incurred yester-
day by the board hauling coal from
the bunkers of the Western Fuel
Company will be charged to the con-
tractor.

EARTHQUAKE CASE
GOES To TRIAL

IF the evidence were equal and there
were no. choice one side or the other
I would favor the poor people who lost
so much money in the big fire." said
a member of the jury panel yesterday
in the United States Circuit Court in
response to a question by T. c. Van
Ness. counsel for the defendant in the
case of Thomas L Bergin VS.. The Com
mercial Union Assurance Company.
Limited, of London, Van Ness chal-
lenged the juror for bias, and United
States District Judge Edward Whitson
sustained the challenge.
The suit was brought by Bergin to
recover $4,000 on a policy of insurance
on a building on California street, near
Battery, destroyed by the confagra-
ton OF April IS. Carrot w. NcEnerney
appeared as counsel for Bergin. The
contention of the insurance company
was that under the earthquake clause
in it's policy it was not liable for losses
arising from any fire caused directly
or indirectly by the earthquake of the
date mentioned, and that the earth
quake was the direct cause of the con-
hagration.
McEnerney inquired of each member
of the panel whether he or any per-
/ son connected with him by marriage
was or ever had been connected with
any fire insurance company. Van Ness
was more particular and soul searching.
He explained to the men in the box that
all he wished was to ascertain the
color of their minds" but by the rigor
with which he applied the microscope
and the micrometer to the jurors II
was evident that he did not stop at
the color of their minds, but probed
deeply into the internal tissue of their
souls.
The greater number of the panel
were selected from residents of Oak
land, Alameda, Berkeley and San Mateo,
but in nearly every instance it ap-
peared that the possible jurors had
been and were engaged in business in
San Francisco, and made the other
towns their 'bunking places"
Most Of the members of the panel
confessed that they had bias against
welching companies. S. c. Irving
stated that he had carried several hun
dred dollars worth of fire insurance.
but that after the fire he had instruct
ed his brokers TO cancel all policies in
the so-called welcEing companies
A venire for an additional fifteen
citizens was issued, returnable this
morning. Ten jurors remain in the
box, but the right of peremptory chaI-
lenge will not be exercised until there
are twelve.

time to complete the work. Burrell

ter does not permit
The Mayor telephoned Duffey with
view to interceding in behalf of
Rurrell that he be given another
chance TO show his good faith To the
Mavor's request Duffey replied:
IF / give this man an extension of
time IT will be as much as my life is
worth to attempt to pass down Market

ers who are tired Of seeing the street
in an impossible condition"
The Mayor did not PRESS the matter.
