BERRY STREET TRACKS TO
REMAIN TEMPORARILY
Supervisors Committee Recommends
Compromise Agreed Upon by
the Interests Involved

The supervisors street committee de-
cided yesterday to recommend that the
Southern Pacific company be granted
periodical extensions Of time for the re-
moval of the tracks in Berry street
from Second to Seventh which were
laid last year under a permit from the
mayor for the removal OF debris. The
action was the result of an agreement
reached by Chairman Rea with the
draymen's association, teamsters' union
and the Potrero manufacturers associa-
ton, as the tracks were deemed a
necessity for the industrials concerns
pending their settlement in permanent
locations.
The committee. however, imposed a
condition that the extensions will not
exceed 18 months, at the end of which
time the tracks must be taken up. The
petition Of number of manufacturers
that permit for a spur track be grant
ed will be held in allegiance until the
ls months have expired. when it will be
withdrawn.

ST, PAUL COMPANY MUST
PAY s31,148 INSURANCE
Jury Rebukes Attempt Of
Corporation to Welch
on Marine Policy

Insurance companies, whether fire,
life or marine, which attempt to use
too fine determinations or legal techni-
calities to avoid payment on policies,
were given another severe jolt yester-
day by the verdict of jury in the
United States circuit court, which gave
to the Barneson- -Hibberd company Judg-
ment for $31,14S.91 against the St Paul
fire and marine insurance company
The jury was out 10 minutes-just long
enough to organize and take single
ballot.
The suit was to recover $2S,500 and
$2,648.91 interest on q policy on cargo
of flour lost in the wreck of the steam
ship Mariechen in January, 1906. dur
ing a voyage from Seattle to Vladi-
vostock. On the first day out from
Seattle the steamer encountered vio-
lent storm and on the fifth day water
burst through a portfolio and flooded
the hold and the coal bunkers, disabling
the engines and causing the ship to &c
ashore near Juneau, Alaska
The insurance company refused to
pay the amount of the policy, alleging
as reason that at the time the policy
was issued the ship was unseaworthy
and that.the Barneson -Hi bberd company
had no insurable interest in the cargo

Nerves were much in evidence
throughout the playing of Leah
Kleschna" by the Frawley folk last
evening at the Novelty theater.
Every one in the cast contributed to
the neurotic exhibit, for it was an open
ing performance, and not until curtain
rise did the scenery and apparel arrive
at the stage door, Even then the first
act was unfolded in drawing room in
stead of an attic, .and some of the
in accordance with the costume plot
The attic was there in fragmentary
form, but there was no time to set it
up, and the proper attire was buried
deeply in trunks. No wonder that the
mummers were i'll at ease. There is
cause for wonder that they were not
more so.
Mrs. Fiske is, think. primarily re-
sponsible for Leah Kleschna" being
admissible to stock" If she had pro-
duced the play as it left the authors
hands there would be no place for it
in the Frawley repertoire, because it
was originally intended as a vehicle
for single feminine star, and the lady
who has the leading part in the present
presentation does not shed binding re-
fulgence. The character of the girl thief
dominates the action, and it is around
the workings for good in her heart that
the situations are drawn, but she really
is no more important than any one of
at least three other characters.
In her revision of the manuscript
Mrs. Fiske unselfshly manipulated
things so that her own position in the
cast was not out of proportion. Assured
OF her comparative artistic strength, she
was not fearsome lest anyone else on
the stage, however well equipped with
opportunity, would make as striking
an impression as she, SO she bettered
the general structure by pruning down
her own role and building up some
others, thereby making good stock
material, though that may not have
been among her aims as she revised
AS interpreted by the Frawleys. the
play is closer to melodrama than 1t
was when in the hands of the Man
haitian company-and that's as far as
1 shall go in the drawing of compari-
son. II would be unfair to compare
the performances without mentioning
the prices. You can see the Frawley
production for exactly one-half the
sum you were taxed for the privilege
of witnessing the Fiske ditto.
Miss Shotwell, in the title role,
proved herself a young woman of fine
presence, pleasing voice, considerable
temperament and inadequate technique.

of reform chastened her soul, she dis
