CALIFORNIA HAS HER BACK UP Will Advertise the Crooks to Whole Wide World. DRIVE THEM FROM STATE Insurance Commissioners ' ot AH States Mill Combine to Punish Shylocks Who Rob Homeless People of San Francisco. PAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-The offl. eials of California are agreed. It Is eald. that the Insurance companies which re fuse to meet their obligations and pay their losses In full will not only be driven from the state, but ruined before the world, if the widest publication of their methods can accomplish that end. Insur ance Commissioner E. Marlon Wolf is backed by Attorney-General Webb. The Attorney-General expressed himself force fully today regarding the proposition made by 60 companies at the meeting in Oakland Tuesday to pay only 75 per cent of adjusted losses. Drive Them From State. under the law of California," he said. "the State Insurance Commissioner can summarily revoke the license of any la surance company for the state when there is cause. Certainly the payment of only 75 per cent of losses would be cause. And not only would It be proof ot unsound ness and unfitness to do business, but it will be the plainest evidence of dishon esty. It would be cause for the Commis sioner to revoke the state license of any company standing for such a proposition. and I know that Mr. Wolf, whose heart Is in the situation, will take such action toward any companies that enter BUch an agreement. Advertise Them to World. "This Is the limit of his power of pun lshment under the California law, but he can go much further. The Insurance Commissioners of all the states stand to gether. Through them. Commissioner Wolf can advertise to all the world the dishonesty of the companies that refuse to meet their obligations. I am certain that he will use that power against those that give him cause." i There was no change today in the align ment of insurance companies on the prop osition to make a general 25 per cent cut. nut me companies that voted for full pay- jnent still hope to win over many of those ithat took the stand for a percentage set tlement.

Bolton, of the Seventeenth Infantry, Governor of the Province of Davao, Island of Mindanao, and Benja min Christian have been murdered on the beach on the west coast of Davao by a Mungalayan and his two broth ers. The murderers have not yet been captured. A report received here by General Wood from General Weiss, who is at Zamboang-a, states that Bolton and Christian passed a night at the Mun galayan's house, and were returning to Malita in the morning, the Mungalayan brothers acting as guides for the Americans, both of whom were un armed. Bolton and Christian were at tacked unawares. The Mungalayan has the reputation of being a cutthroat and murderer. He is second chief of the Tagacolas, who are non-Christian Filipinos. Lieutenant Bolton was endeavoring to pacify the people by peaceful methods, and habitually went unarmed. He was regarded as one of the best of ficials of the Government in the islands, and had accomplished much. He had stopped at the Mungalayan's house many times previously, but had never before been molested. Chris tian, the other murdered man, was a discharged soldier and foreman of the Government farm at Malita. A report of the murder received at constabulary headquarters gives addi tional information that the Mungalay an is the leader of a band of 200 re ligious fanatics, who are terrorizing the country, and recently sacked a place known as McCulloughs, near Malagog. One company of regular troops and one company of the con stabulary were dispatched from Zam boanga at daylight today to scour the country, arrest the murderers if pos sible and restore order.
