We Build and Burn

The cost of fire and it's acces-
series, in round numbers, is just
about an even 5000, 900, 600 a year.
1t may be but peculiar coinci-
dence, or perhaps it is an uncons-
cious, economic adjustment, that
with all our phenomenal growth
and the tremendous boom and vast
amount Of building carried on in
some years, the most active year
we have ever had in building cone
tructions Melted just s6l5, 600, COOS
worth Of new buildings and altera-
tons during the twelve months.
So that with all our Wanted activ-
ity, we produced in money value
only trifle more than we destroy
ed. Worse than that, in the first
month of the present year our loss
es by fire were over $24, 900, OOO,
in new buildings and repairs. Our
average fire loss is $40, 900, 900 q
month"; "normal" month. But
the confiagation risk is such that
we have abnormal months with
with startling, normal regularity.
In February, 1904, Baltimore
raised that months figure to $780,
600, 900, and in April 1906, San
Francisco added $780, 900, 600 to
the "normal' months loss. In
five years, time the total has been
81, 257, 7l6,O 600. No other nation
on earth could stand the drain,

DR.. GENTLE BRINGS
PICTURES OF JAPAN
Negatives Show Places in Nip
pom Never Visited by Pro-
fessiOnal Globe TrOtters

DIR. Arnold Genthe, sunburned to the
roots of his hair and happy in the pos
session of a collection of Photographic
negatives made in parts of Japan never
visited by the professional globe trot-
ter. arrived here yesterday on the Japa-
nese liner America Maru. He brought
home the friendliest feelings for the
Japanese. the pictures he wanted and
a doleful tale which he tells with a
smile of the obstacles that Japanese
red tape throws in the way of the man
with a camera He made the trip with
three cameras and his troubles were in
proportion.
Japan. he says. is crowded with places
and things which may not be photo
graphed The mikado his home or any
place that has been honored by his
presence are among the objects at
which the photographer may not level
his camera All negatives must be de-
veloped on the spot, regardless of the
difficulties in the way, and the o. x.
of half a dozen officials is necessary
before the photographer may call the
picture his own.
DR.. Genthe did most of his travelling
in the unbeaten paths and spent most
OF his time in northern Japan, where
he hobnobbed with Buddhist priests
and was the guest Of honor at the Koy-
asan monastery.
He visited the island of Ise and
might have secured some pictures at
the shrine of the sun goddess, but un-
fortunately the mikado went there in
company with Admiral Togo and Cen
eral Oyama after the war with Russia
to thank the goddess and since that
visit cameras have been barred.
While climbing q mountain trail DR..
Genthe fell and injured his right hand.
Three days later he found a Japanese
doctor who looked at the injury, passed
the remark that it was not very serious
and collected his fee. An English sur
geon who treated the injury later said
that it would be months before Genthe
would recover the full use of his hand,
a diagnosis which proved correct.

BANK BOOKS SHOW
FRAUDULENT ENTRY
Receiver OF California Safe De-
posit Company Resists Suit
for Money Collected

A fraudulent entry of s1O0, 900 made
in the books of the California safe de-
posit and trust company, for the pur-
pose of making it appear that the bank
had credit of that sum with the
Bowling Green trust company of New
York. was disclosed during the hearing
of suit before Judge Seawell yes
terday. Mrs A Moore, wife of a min
ing man. sued the receiver of the bank
for the return of $1,000, the amount
of a draft she deposited with the Cali
fornia safe deposit and trust company
for collection in New York and which
was. in fact. collected by the Bowling
Green company 1t was contended by
Mrs Moore that this was a preferred
claim. and she sued for it's recovery
on the ground that the California safe
deposit company was merely her agent
for the collection of the money In
support of her petition Attorney Oscar
Sutro introduced the books of the Cali
with the Bowling Green company,
showing that the New York corpora
ton owed the local bank $4,000 on
September 8. 1907.
In defense. Messrs. De Laveaga &
Magee, attorneys for the receiver,
placed on the stand William Klink, ex-
pert accountant, who testified that
there was a false entry in the books
of the bank on December 8, 1906, pur-
porting to show that the Bowling
Green company owed the California
safe deposit company 100000. Klink
told of other fraudulent entries about
the same date and said they had been
made in anticipation of visit from
the bank commissioners.
The trial of Mrs. Moore's suit will be
resumed this morning.

SHIPPERS PROTEST
AT RAILWAY RULE
Classification Compelling Use of
Patent Nail ArOuSeS
Shoe Dealers

For years railroad companies have
been victimized by shoe thieves and
have had to pay out several millions of
dollars for stolen boots, but now be-
heve they have solved the problem OF
protecting their cars from thieves, and
also their Golfers from the demands of
shoemen who have been robbed OF
footwear
A firm in Cleveland, o.. has invented
a cement coated nail, which defies the
most dexterous lid raiser, for when
driven into the wood the natural mois-
ture sOftens the cement and firmly i'm
beds the nail so that il can not be re-
moved without tearing the box to
pieces.
Shoe thieves had become so expert
that they were able to lift off a lid, re-
move few pairs of shoes and nail the
lid on again. so that the case passed
muster, and not till il was received by
the store keeper was it discovered that
it had been broken into and robbed.
The western classification committee
finally took up the matter, investigated
the cement coated nail. has adopted it
and has informed shippers where
the western classification applies, not
covered by special commodity rates.
that the cement coated nail will have
TO be used on boot packages or the next
higher rate will be charged.
1t is probable that this rule will be
embodied in the transcontinental tariff
Agreeable as this ruling is to the
transportation interests of the country,
protecting them from boot and shoe
thieves, the dealers. however, are not
enamored with the provision compell-
ing the manufacturer to use cement
coated nails.
AS far a. the middleman is concerned.
he is no loser by theft in transit, for
the railroad company has to stand the
loss
What he is out by the new rule is the
box
With ordinary nails. the dealer can
use the box over and over again, for,
by carefully removing the lid, the case
is uninjured and can be sent out again
to his country patrons.
But with the cement coated nail this
is impossible. as the box is torn to
pieces when the lid is removed, so ad-
hesive is the cement
1t is going to be a fight against the
shoeman and the railroad companies
with the cement coated nail as the
bone OF contention.

of Chief Crowley and Chief Lees. and
.ater as the head Of the detective force.

buneted about from position to posi-
tion until Chief Biggy sent him TO the

heard Of seldom.
Lieutenant Eugene Wall, attached to
