MUST PAY UP
FIRE LOSSES

SAN FRANCISCO, May 11.-Ar
important decision relative to the
question of the earthquake clause In
fire insurance policies was handed
down by the United States Circuit
Court OF Appeals. 1t directly at
fects several hundred pending suits
against insurance companies for loss
es sustained in the great fire OF April.
1906, and may result in the insured
obtaining the principal of their poll.
cies with interest for three years.
The case decided was that OF the
Richmond Coal Company against the
Commercial Union Assurance Com.
pany OF London, in which it was
sought to recover about $4,000 In.
surance on coal in the bunkers at
spear and Howard Streets, which
caught fire several hours after the
earthquake of April Is, 1906, and was
destroyed after smouldering for a
month.
The Circuit Court OF Appeals re-
verses the judgment OF the lower
court and decides that the earth
quake was not the proXimate cause
OF a fire which occurred after the
earthquake shock, practically holding
that an earthquake cannot cause a
fire directly and that for an earta-
quake to be the Indirect cause the
biaZe must follow Immediately upon
the quake.
The court OF appeals also holds
that it was proper to take into &C
cdunt causes such as wind. back
firing and dynamiting, intervening be-
tween the earthquake and the fire de-
strOying the property Involved.

STATE CONTROLLER DID
NOT REFUSE WARRANTS

The Appeal was in slight error yes
terday in reference to the action OF
the state Controller in relation to the
salaries OF tne supreme justices.
The last legislature passed a law
requiring the compilation OF the
statutes by the supreme court justi-
ces The constitution provides that
no state ~officer shall receive added
COMPENSATION for services OF his Of
fee. Under this clause ,he state con-
trOller was in doubt as TO whether
the law was constitutional which pro-
vided for added compensation for the
compilation OF the statutes.
The attorney general advises that
the law does not provide Tor added
duties OF tn. Office as sucn, but that
the law does provide for cuties over
and above those OF the office OF Su-
preme Justices and that therefore
the state controller will be held TO
be within his legal requirements il he
.rawS such warrants.
AS matter OF fact no claims
have been filed with the state control
Ter and he has not refused to draw
such warrants, nor did lie intend to
so refuse until the attorney general
advised him that he should do so.
State Controller Eggers is in the
position OF watch uog of the treas
ury and since his term of CftiCe began
! he has yet to make a mistake In the
payment OF a salary or warrant llle-
