REMARKABLE RECORD
SHOWN BY WASHINGTON
COMPANY

The latest financial statement
|of the Northwestern Mutual Fire
Association of Seattle shows that
it has made its policy holders over
100000 profits as compared with
the rates of other companies. The
company is owned entirely by it's
policy holders, each one of which
has received portion of this saw
ing. Notwithstanding the large
cash dividends returned to its
policy holders, which amount to
as much as 55 per cent. on some
classes of property, it has accumu-
lated cash and securities equal to
three and three-fourths times the
cost to carry its present business
to expiration based on its expert
ence for the past eight years. Very
few of the largest companies can
show proportionate cash re-
sources. 1t issues paid up policies
under which its policy holders as
sumo no liability other than the
payment of premium.
The remarkable record made. is
attributed to it's careful selection
of preferred risks. Property own
|ers would do we'll to see if their
property is acceptable to this COM
pany before insuring it elsewhere.

SIGNAL STATION
PROJECT MAY
FALL FLAT

Commissioner McGregor last
night appealed to the council to
have it help find site for the new
signal station for the fire depart
ment. There is talk of putting it
ON the stub end of South Seventh
street, near the city hall, but this
cannot be done without getting all
the property owners to consent
and they will probably not do SO.
The council last night voted the
money tobuy new auto-chemical
and, when this is in service, it
will displace two horses at Central
engine house. Other auto equip
ment is contemplated for the CEN
trail house. When 1t is secured,
it is said, there will be plenty of
room for the signal apparatus at
this fire house.
In view of this the council may
decide to drop the new building
project as thu city finances are
not in shape to do much extra
building now.

terested In the retirement of j. w
Van Cleave from the presidency OF
the National Association of Manu-
facturers. Van Cleave has been
an uncompromising opponent .of1a-
Dor organizations, and declares
that the burden of his position has
been too great for any one man
to carry. al
Several years ago, when Van
Cleave assumed office, he recdIn-
Imended that 100000 a year FOR
"a period of three years be Fevt6d
upon the membership of the asso-
citation for the purpose of Great
ing a war fund to fight organized
labor. His recommendation was
enthusiastically adopted. 1t is not
known, however, whether the en-
tire sum was contributed to the
war chest, but 1t is certain y that
enormous amounts of money were
spent to fight the printers eight
hour movement, to prosecute the
boycott and injunction cases in the
courts, to finance the employing
hatters in the strike still in prog
ress, and TO assist in other strug-
giles to exterminate the unions.
But Notwithstanding the extra
ordinary expenditures of the anti
unionists, and who were given con-
siderable of an advantage by the
industrial depression and wide
spread employment, NOT A SIN
GLE NATIONAL UNION HAS
BEEN DESTROYED, and but few
local organizations. In fact, the
trade unions are, in many respects,
stronger today than they ever have
been throughout their history. Was
the powder worth the candle?
The miners officials appear to
be quite well satisfied with the
settlement obtained from the an
thracite coal operators. The most
important concession that the men
obained was the notification OF
the decision of the late Carroll D.
Wright, former United States la
Dor commissioner, who held that
no mine worker had the right to
appeal to the Cancellation board
after being discharged. This de-
cision virtually permitted black
listing. The new agreement pro-
vides that man discharged with
or without cause can appeal to the
board.
The total paid-up membership
in the United Mine Workers is
now 800 .000,a gain of $4,000
during the year, and the high
water mark in the organization S
history.
Indications are that, along with
various political questions and
internal jurisdictional controver-
sizes that will create lively fights
in this years convention of the
American Federation of Labor, the
prohibition issue will also be pre-
cipitated to add to.the excitement

GREAT WHITE PLAGUE
WIPING OUT RED RACE
Indian Bureau Undertakes Im-
provement of Conditions

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The red
man is gradually disappearing through
the ravages of tuberculosis. To save
the Indian race from extinction by this
disease and yet lead 1t into the ways of
the white man is the task which Of
hcials of the bureau of Indian affairs
have undertaken.
When the white man undertook to
civilize the Indian. tuberculosis was
almost unknown among the race. To-
day the Indians are dying off at the
rate OF approximately 1000 per annum.
OF all the tribes none seem to be so
susceptible as the Sioux Indians in
South Dakota. Last year nearly 1000
members of this tribe were afflicted
They live in unsanitary surroundings
Officials are determined to teach the
Indian the value Of sanitation, personal
cleanliness and other preventive meas
ures.

PANIC AVfRTED BY
COACH AND PIANIST
'EverygirI' at State Normal
School EnyelOped in Dark
ness by Lightning

'EverygirP' was in the dark at the
San Francisco state normal school in
Buchanan street Saturday night, and
had it not been for the calming infiu-
ence ex4rted by Miss Lorena Hoag OF
21s0 Webster street, Oakland, the dra-
matte coach. and Miss Gladys Merrill OF
the state normal panic might have en-
sued among the spectators at the play
which the students were giving.
"EverygirI" was a dramatic conceit
played by the pupils of the school 1t
was based on the morality play of
'Esveryman."
During the second act Of the produc-l
tion Saturday night the thunder storm
without so affected the electric lights
that they were extinguished. On the
stage were 40 young girls. filed with
the excitement of the play. Finding
themselves suddenly in darkness. the
girls were thrown into such a state OF
nervous tension that there was danger
Of hysteria, but Miss Hoag Quieted them
with a few words.
In the crowded auditorium the loud
peal of thunder and the darkness almost
caused panic. Miss Gladys Morrill, was
at the piano. and although she could
not see the keys she played jigtime
music, that quieted the nerves of the
audience
The teachers of the school secured
lamps ana in the dimly lighted place
the second act was completed and the
third act played with a smOOthness that
could not have been excelled if the sun
had been borrowed from the heavens
and stuck up In the ceiling to illuminate
the hall.
The play was very successful. Miss
Kitty Kavanagh had the title role. and
In spite OF the distressing circumstances
enacted her part with rare grace and
charm. The play was produced with
the assistance of Miss Hoag. Miss Eva.
Levy, teacher in the school. and Miss
Estelle Carpenter, teacher Of singing in
the San Francisco public schools.

LONG OIL PIPE LINE
NEEDS MORE PUMPS
Twelve Boosters" Fail to Id
sure Sufficient Flow From
Bakersfield to Bay

The long pipe line from Bakersfield
to Point Richmond, which was built
at great cost and was expected to send
a continuous flow Of oil from the wells
in the southern part of the state to
the tanks at the bayside depot, has
been proved unsatisfactory Twelve
boosters" or pumping stations to
keep the oil stream in motion, are in
operation at points "a miles apart
along the line, but still the device. con-
cerning which engineers were so en-
thusiastic. is proving a losing PROPOSE
tion.
The Associated oil company has de-
cided at last to double the number of
boosters" and establish one every IL
miles. This will insure an oil supply
at the point so per cent in excess of
the present flow.
ECONOMY CAUSES DIFFICULTIES
The George Z Dow pumping engine
company had the original contract for
laying the pipe and erecting the pump
ing stations. 1t was at first planned
TO construct a pumping station every
y miles. Arguments Of economy We're
offered, however. and Southern Pacific
engineers said that station every "a
miles would be sufficient.
Difficulty appeared at the start. Rife
screws were introduced to clear the
passage of oil through the pipes and
to keep 1t from sticking TO the sides
Of the pipe. This device did not solve
the problem.
Water in abundant streams was then
run through the pipes to keep them
clear of refuse which choked the pas
sage of the oils. Still the flow was
not what was expected.
ORIGINAL PLAN RESTORED
Now 1t has been determined TO COM
plete the system as first laid out, add
ing II more stations along the route.
W. H Dow treasurer of the George
E. Dow company. SID last night:
Il have heard that the oil COM
pany has determined to add II more
pumping stations. but as yet we have
received no notification to go ahead
with the installation, although our
original contract calls for "a stations
between Bakersfield and Point Rich
mond.
1T is an economic matter. purely.
which rests with the railroad company
for solution. At the time of the panic
1t was believed that the Il pumping
stations would be able to perform the
work satisfactorily. The added IL sta
