INSURANCE COMPANY OF
GERMANY SETTLES CLAIMS
Rhine and MoseiIe Pays rs Per
Cent of Policies

judgments in favor of about 700
policy holders of the Rhine and Moselle
fire insurance company of Strassburg,
for a total amount of between $500, 1000
and 100000, have been settled. Salts
factions of many of them were filed
with the county clerk yesterday.
Some s4,000.000 was due : insured
persons in San Francisco from this COM
pany after the fire of April, 1906 The
company refused to pay. and upon be-
ing sued allowed judgment to go by
default Upon these judgments actions
were afterward begun in the courts of
Germany for the collection of the
money awarded in San Francisco. The
German courts, however, refused to re-
cognize the default judgments of
American tribunals, and ruled that the
cases would have to be retired on their
merits, thus permitting the insurance
company to plead the earthquake
clause.
After this ruling. holders of policies
for some $3,300,000 agreed to accept
the offered compromise of 25 per cent
of their claims, together with an ad
ditional / per cent for the fees of their
attorneys. 1t is this 20 per cent COM
promise which has now been settled.
The holders of the other 100000
worth of policies have intirnated that
they will probably fight in the German
courts for the full amount.

FAIRLY DAYS GONE.
Pardon M. Bowen, Member of
Pioneer Grocery Firm, Suc-
cumbs to Paralysis
Came to California in 1850 With
the Rush Of Youthful
Gold Seekers

Pardon M. Bowen, a California pio-
neer of 1850 and one of the founders of
the San Francisco firm of Bowen Broth
ers, now Goldberg, Bowen & Co., died
yesterday morning at his home, 2256
Central avenue, Alameda from paraly
sis
Bowen was born in Boston, Mass. in
1876 When gold was discovered Bowen
and number of others set out for the
Pacific coast in the ship South America.
Ihey arrived in. San Francisco in the
spring of 1850. Here Bowen engaged in
the manufacturing of gold washers and
continued in that business for two
years He returned to Providence, r. l.,
in 1852 and married Miss Frances A.
Banding. With his bride he came back
to San Francisco the same year and
soon thereafter associated himself with
his brother, Q. r. Bowen, in the grocery
business in Stockton.
In 1859 the brothers established them
selves in San Francisco under the name
of Bowen Brothers, Their store was
then located in Pine street near Kearny.
They continued in business under that
name until a consolidation which ulti-
mately established the firm of Goldberg,
Bowen & Co.
Bowen took up his residence in Ala
media two years ago. Despite his SO
years he was active mentally and
physically until he suffered his first
stroke of paralysis last April. The pio-
neer merchant is survived by wife
and eight children, by brother, c. R..
Bowen, and by sister in law, Mrs. f..
j. Banding of Alameda.

county; but ii was different in San
Francisco. The big leaders of the
Lincoln Roosevelt league in San Fran
cisco began to declare for Gillett early
last spring, as did the young anti-ma-
chine leaders in the state senate. They
declined to consider the claims of SEN
ator Charles NJ Belshaw, their coz
league on the leagues executive COM
mittee, and they were opposed to Curry
out of hand. They declared that they
were for Gillett because he had made
good" and that if Gillett were not a
candidate they had a San Francisco
man under cover who would have Il
valid claim on the support of the
Lincoln Roosevelt league and the
friends of good government generally.
GILLETT GAINS STRENGTH
The municipal campaign has resulted,
strangely enough, in greatly strength
ening the hand of Governor Gillett not
alone with the independent republic
ans of San Francisco. but with the un-
ion labor party and union men gener-
ally. Behind one phase of this freak
of political weight making is Gov
ernor Gillett's refusal to participate in
the San Francisco fight. He was billed
TO speak at a republican ratification
meeting at the opening of the cam
paign. He did not speak. and his fall
consumption, with the plea that he
was compelled to accompany President
Taft on his tour of the Yosemite. A
subsequent attempt TO get the governor
into the San Francisco campaign re-
suited in a verbal communication,
which the local committee accepted as
authorized to the effect that 'the gov
ernor declines to commit political hara
kiri BY appea airing 10 take sides against
an ~ flrnHerh
sibility of the appearance of Charles NJ.
Fickert on the platform with the gov
ernor."
The local committeeman grumped
bit about it, but decided that they had
no right to involve the governor
against his wishes, and the men who
growied then are among those who
insist now that Gillett is the only
logical candidate. The governors re-
fusal TO- come to San Francisco fattened
his batting average with the independ
ent republicans who were for Heney.
and it now develops that has been used
to excellent advantage among the sup
porters of Mccarthy, who believe that
Gillett might have stiffened up the re-
publican ranks prevented the machine
stampede to Mccarthy. the anti-ma-
chine stampede TO Leland ard the cleo
tion of p. II. Mccarthy.
IN any event. and quite apart from
the fact that Gillett is Infinitely
stronger ia San Francisco than ever
before, the candidacy of Gillett Will
furnish the big problem for the Lin
coin Roosevelt league leaders. and some
of the politicians believe that an at
tempt to put the league in active and
general opposition TO the governor will
result in its disruption Than which.
so far as many of them are concerned,
nothing could be more desirable.
