board at once directed that investiga-
ton be<made of The Calls charges. and
after weeks of careful examination the
experts reported yesterday that they
were absolutely true. Assistant City
Engineer Price and Superintendent Of
Street Repair Broderick, who repre-
sented the city at the examination. re-
ported to the board of public works at
the meeting yesterday that the work
should be ordered done over again.,
They found that in many places the
trenches had not been filled properly,
with the result that the earth had fallen
away from the concrete and bitumen,
leaving spaces of from three inches to a
foot between the surface material and
the filling. When heavy teams passed
over the street the bitumen and con-
crete gave way. having nothing under
meath to support them. In other places
1t was discovered the bitumen had been
burned while being cooked and was of
little value. In addition, considerable
old and worthless bitumen had been
cooked over and used for surfacing the
trenches.
Among the streets examined were
Jackson, Buchanan, Sanchez Henry
Scott, Broderick. Fell and Franklin. and
in each of them evidence of faulty re-
pair work was discovered.
Should the telephone company try to
evade it's responsibility to the city. it
will be refused permission to tear UP
any more streets. On all future work
of the Home company a close watch
will be kept, and If one inspector is
unable to perform the duty, as many
more as are needed will be employed
at the expense of the company.

Home Telephone Company to
Pay Penalty for Faulty
Repair Work

The Home telephone company was
notified by the board of public work
yesterday that the contractors en-
ployed by it to repair the public streets
torn up to lay conduits had failed TO
put the thoroughfares in proper con-
dition and that the work must be gone
over again. The company also was IN
formed that the board would appoint
an inspector to see that the repairs
were properly made this time, and that
the expense of his employment must De
borne by the corporation.
The work found to be faulty was per-
formed by Finn &c Treacy, the Barber
asphalt company and the City Street
Improvement company under contracts
entered into with the telephone COM
pany.
Several months ago The Call directed
attention to the faulty repairs to the
streets being made by the Home tele-
phone company's contractors. The
trenches, it was stated, were not prop
erly filled, the concrete used was not OF
sufficient thickness or strength and the
bitumen and asphalt were of poor

JURY SETS ASIDE
"QUAk[ clause
Insurance Company Must Pay
Loss on California Wine
Association Cellars

BY vote of 10 to ] a jury in Judge
Murasky's department of the superior
court decided last evening that the fire
which destroyed the cellars of the Cali
fornia wine association at Fifth and
Bluxome streets. following the disas-
ter of April IS, 1905, was not caused by
the earthquake The verdict awards a
policy of $4,000 written by the COM
mercial union fire insurance company
to the plaintiff, with interest at per
cent from the date of the confagration
The policy held an Earthquake clause"
The trial consumed thirteen weeks
and 1S9 witnesses were examined. The
plaintiff alleged that the particular fire
which destroyed the wine cellars was
OF incendiary origin, having been
started in the east side of Sixth street,
between Clara and Harrison. The route
OF the blaze was traced from that loca-
ton to Fifth and Bluxome streets.
In his instructions to the jury Judge
Murasky pointed out that the insurance
company would have positively to
prove that the fire was of earthquake
origin to be absolved from paying the
claim.

were embodied In the Century review.
recently suppressed at the request OF
the German government. Emperor
William" says the American CORES
pendent, was bitter against England
and full of the yellow peril He de
clared England traitor to the White
Mans cause. He predicted that she
would ultimately lose some OF her col
onies through her treaty with Japan.
The emperor declared that Japan Is
even now fomenting insurrectIon in
India. This insurrection might break
out within six mon,ns. Germany ana
the United States win, however. find
D solution of the eastern question.
There is complete understanding
between Emperor William and Presi
dent Roosevelt on this point. They
intend to divide the east against it.
self by becoming the recognized
friends of China. If japan be suffer
ed now to get control of China. EG
rope will suffer attack. Emperor vii
liam said he believed that America
would be forced TO fight Japan with
in ten years"
Making due allowance for the SUI
perlatives In which Emperor william
INDUCES. such as TIE intimation that
he has a complete understanding
with the president OF the United
States" It is probably true that the
words here quoted are fair report OF
what be said, says the Washington
Post II may be recalled that Mr..
Barchfield, of Pennsylvania. and sew
eral other members of the house of
representatives were received by the
emperor in Berlin soon after the
treaty of Portsmouth, and that he
then uttered substantially the same
sentiments. He told his American Wis
itors that he had suggested the peace
conference, and that the rise On ia
pan made the yellow peril q reali-
ty. which all Europe and America
must face. He deprecated the ALI
ance between England and Japan and
predicted a clash between the Unit
ed States and Japan.
Since the kaiser's interview has
been suppressed, the publication OF
the purport Of hissremarks loses force
because OF the ease with which the
words may be disavowed. Neverthe-
less, it is interesting TO learn the
views OF this great ruler, whose per
sonaIity has so much to do with the
peace OF the world. Taken in con-
nection with his London Telegraph In
terview. in which ne spoke of the in
tention of Germany TO build up her
fleet in order to take hand in the
domination of the Pacific, the Hale
interview would have proved intense
ly irritating TO England and Japan.
1t is just as well that it was sup
pressed.
