GROC[RS PLAN TO
REDUCE INSURANCE
Mission Association to Form
Company for Mutual Pro-
tecti0n and Benefit

A. Hubert, secretary of the Mission
grocers association. stated last night
before the Mission Promotion assoeia-
ton that the grocers In the Mission.
acting in conjunction with the United
Grocers' association, are preparing TO
launch a lire fire insurance company
that will be controlled by the grocery
men in the city. The company is be-
ing formed to make 1t possible for the
grocers to insure at a lower rate than
that charged by the fire insurance COM
panies now writing their insurance.
The plans for an auxiliary water sup
ply system and the new high pressure
system that are being planned By As
sistant City Engineer II. d. H. Connick
was given grueling by committee
OF the association which has been in
vestigating the water question. Ac-
cording to the report read the high
pressure system Is useless in the resi-
dence districts and Is only intended TO
protect the business portions of the
city. The majority OF those who spoke
on the matter seem to favor the install
lation of more cisterns. as n eistern
can be depended upon should another
earthquake occur. while there is q liza
bility of a pipe breaking. The assocIa-
tion also believes that the plans of
Connick are faulty, so they have other
engineers engaged on other plans that
it expects will meet with more gem
eral approval.
The committee which has the pro-
iect of widening Ocean avenue from
Parkside boulevard to Corbett road 70

surances from her that in all proba-

HEALTH OFFICERS
ENGAGE IN TILT
Local Experts Claim DIR. Blue
Overlooks Them in Sani-
tatiOn Campaign

The question of maintaining the cam
peign of sanitation at the same de-
gree of expenditure hitherto in force
was argued last night at a meeting at
tended by the members of the health
board, the citizens health committee,
DR.. Blue and Supervisor Allen Pollak.
The controversy was the outcome of the
refusal of the board of supervisors last
Thursday to pay into the sanitation
fund the monthly appropriation Of
$l2,0 900.
Between the members of the board
of health and the federal officials con-
siderable difference of opinion was eX-
pressed. The board OF health COM
planned that the destruction of prop
erty going on for the purpose of sani-
tary Improvement was being pushed too
far. Moreover, the members individu-
ally expressed their displeasure at not
being taken into consideration or con-
suited with in the plans for the city's
cleansing Every hour of the day. they
said, they were besieged by persons
complaining that the alterations or
dered by Dr. Blue and his assistants
were unnecessary.
DR.. Blue responded by saying that
the danger was not altogether disposed
Of and that precautions against disease
should not be relaxed.
1t was pointed out that the sanitary
campaign cost $4,000 last month. OF
this the federal government contrib
uted $4,000. the city $4,000 and the
rest was made up of private contribu-
tions. One of the speakers said that
the campaign was costing too much
money and that the war might be car
ried on much more economically. The
citizens health committee, however, re-
piled that no unnecessary expense was
being incurred. Argument was made
that IL the federal authorities thought
il necessary to continue the work of
determination OF rats and the razing
of property the federal government
should meet the expense.
No definite conclusion was reached
after three hours of conference. The
matter will be further argued tomor-
row afternoon before the health com
nittee OF the supervisors.
Among those present at last night s
colloquy were DR.. Rupert Blue, Super
visor Allen Pollak, Cary Friedlander.
Supervisor Gustave Brenner, DR.. julius

SAYS CROOKS ARE
HUMANE OFFICERS
Superintendent Kane Is Arrested
for Retaining Book to
Defeat Investigation

Frank ]. Kane was arrested yester-
day on the complaint of Attorney
Frank Schilling. who charges the SUI
perintendent of the Pacific humane So
ciety with Withholding the minute book
of the organization from its members.
Behind the arrest of Kane lies a long
story of both internal and external
trouble which has vexed the society
ever since its annual meeting last No
vember. at which time committee of
safety was appointed to exercise a
closer inspection. than was customary
Of the applicants for membership. At
the time there was a large number
of the badge holders of the society
on what is called its blacklist and
the members of the committee assert
that Kane gave them only the numbers
of the stars, without the names or
addresses of the men who were un-
der suspicion.
Attorney Schilling, chairman of the
committee of safety. asserts that there
are a large number of crooks enrolled
in the, organization and that they are
kept on the rolls for the sake of the
revenue which they bring in.
The friction between Kane and the
committee was increased lately when
Chief of Police Biggy demanded a list
of the members of the society in order
that his department might look up the
records of some of its members. The
committee of safety was stirred 10
action by the charges of the chief
and they have commenced an investi-
cation.
Schilling has been charged by Kane
with making an uncalled for arrest
and he VIII be tried by the society
May 4. The accused demanded the
bylaws and the minute book of the
society and on the refusal of Kane to
comply with his demand he caused the
arrest of the latter on the charge of
