NOT BAD WIRING
FACTORY FIRE WAS
DUE TO SOME OTHER CAUSE.
Electricity Is Not Considered An Elk
traordinariIy Grave Hazard BY
Insurance Companies.

81 notice that the cause of the re-
cent fire at the McKinnie Veneer and
Package company's factory is given
as due to defective wiring, said City
Electrical Inspector Mcpherson to-
day. "That is erroneous. What did
cause 1t ] don't know. The wiring
was done there only year ago, and,
at the time 1t was carefully inspected
and passed upon by this Office, and l
hardly think that was the cause OF
the blaze.
Defective wiring gets credit for
causing a great many more fires than
it really is chargeable with" said
Manager Blocker, of the traction
company, commenting on the same
fire. cat a recent convention of cleo
trical peopl. not long ago statistics
were shown which gave evidence that
electricity and electric wires were
far less hazardous than generally
credited. Even the mice and rat COM
bination is chargeable with more
fires than electricity, and fire insur-
ance companies now, with the inspec-
tons with which they safeguard their
risks, don't consider electricity more
hazardous than a host of other
things"

May BE Other Charges.

San Francisco, June 2S.-Judge
Dunno called Mayor Schmitz for sem
tence, first inquiring whether it was
the purpose of the prosecution to
press against him the other four ex-
tortion indictments returned by the
grand jury. District Attorney Lang
don declared the state had not made
up its mind on this point and asked
for another week in which to consider
it. Fairall, for the defense, insisted
upon an immediate reply so that he
could without further delay take an
appeal to the higher court for a new
trial. Dunno finally granted the de-
lay. This means that Schmitz must
spend several more days in jail be-
fore applying to the higher court for
bail upon the strength of the appeal
taken.
