Wretched Preparing Xor
Special Session.
BAN FRANCISCO, May 14. The cold,
disagreeable rain which fell all this aft
ernoon created much misery among the
rfueee camps and even caused consid
erable annoyance to householders who
were cook Inn In the street. ThoiiKh i
is the middle of May and i-ain Is unusual
at this period, the asheg which drifted
Into the sky during the three days of
the conflagration are believed to hav
conffn trated sufficient moisture to cause
many drizzles for some time to come.
It is most unfortunate at this.partleu
lar time, when a. third of Ban Francisco';
population I camping. Many of the
tenta In Golden Gate Park, the Presidio
and Fort Mason are without plank floor
ing and became damp at once. The
sharks throughout the vacant lots, In
which many of the refugees are living,
are poorly constructed and leaky. It Is
difficult to build outside fires In the rain
and the homeless are without proper
means of dryrng or warming themselves,
Happily the rain was of short duration
and the afternoon was ushered in by
bright sunshine.
At a meeting of the committee on spe
cial session of the legislature today It
was unanimously decided that the prea-
,ent fin-year lease law should be amended
so that 99-year leases will hereafter be
permitted In the state. This la looked
upon by the real estate men as a most
important step, as they maintain that
under the new conditions building will
progress rapidly. The committee also de
cided to recommend an increase of the
Inheritance taxes and corporation li
censes. Th. state will be asked to au
thorlse the Issuance of bonds in the sum
of $600,000 to be a tax on the tonnage of
San Francis jo for a reconstruction of
those portions of the wharves and the
seawall destroyed In the recent calamity.
PAVE TRADERS GOOD NAME
Directors Afrrce to Assessment to Pay
San Francisco Losses.
CHICAGO. May 11 (Special.) The
Traders' Insurance Company's receiver is
to be discharged and the company s San
Francisco losses are to be paid dollar for
dollar. This has been Informally decided
on by the directors for the purpose of
maintaining the honor of Chicago as a
financial center. As soon a the directors
show the court that the lossse are to be
paid. Receiver Smith will be dismissed
and then, it is predicted, the company
will be revived.
John J. Mitchell, president of the Illinois
Trust A Savings Bank, and vice-president
of the Traders', Is given credit for put
ting new backbone Into the directorate.
Me is following the line of action which
has been most strongly urged during his
absence by Mrs. Hubbard Oarpenter one
of the heirs of the rn urges estate.
On his return to the city last FViday
Mr. Mitchell found the Traders' directors
the subject of severe condemnation on the
part of Insurance, financial and general
business men in Chicago. Mr. Mitchell,
who announced on Frkiay morning that
the receivership had been an unfortunate
mistake got the directors together for a
preliminary meeting.
"All the directors are now agreed that
the San Francisco loss and all liabilities
of the Traders' Insurance Company shall
be paid in full," said Mr. Mitchell. "That
will mean an assessment, and for those
stockholders who may refuse to meet it
the directors will pay. Formal action on
the matter will probably not be taken for
a week, but I can say that the sentiment
of the directors is unanimously in favor of
paying the losses In full." Mr. Mitchell
added that steps to dissolve the receiver
ship would follow the payments.
This move on the part of the Trader"
comes in the face of the table of losses
at San Francisco from the New York
State Insurance Department, published to
day, showing that the Traders' was the
second heaviest loser of the American
r-ompanies and that the losses of only two
foreign companies were larger. The
amount given in that report for the Trad
eds' Is 3,7W).0O0. There are other liabili
ties. The assets consist of JSOO.flOO capital.
I1.5on.noft surplus and U.SH.0S5 reinsurance

PROPOSE RELIEF LEGISLATION
Increased Corporation Tax and Li
cense and Long-Term Leases.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 14. At the.
meeting of the committee In special ses
sion of the Legislature today. R. H.
I Countryman presented drafts of two bills
drawn by the Attorney-General, dealing
with the Inheritance tax law and the tax
ation of corporations. The effect of the
first of these would be to remove many
nf the present exemptions and practically
double the receipts from the' tax. The
other Increases the license tax on all cor
porations from $10 to $50. and the delin
quency tax from IIS to $25.
Joslah R. Howell, for the subcommittee
on 99-year leases, read a report that tha
rail for the extra session of the Legis
lature should contain a draft of a hill
permitting such lease In this state, with
out limitation of any kind as to the
terms. The report stated that It was the
.unanimous opinion of real estate dealers
that such an extension of the term for
which leases could be made would tend,
more than any other single circumstance,
toward the rapid upbuilding of the city. It
pointed out that, under the present S0
year law. lessees will not erect buildings
designed to outlast the life of the lease,
resulting In the construction of an infe
rior class of buildings.
The report was adopted, and Judge John
F. Davis and K. H. Countryman were ap
pointed a special committee to draft, in
conjunction with W. P. Pringle. repre
sentative of ine real estate dealers, the
necessary legislation to be incorporated in
the call.
Gavin McNab offered a resolution to be
inserted In the call, authorising the Issu
ance of bonds In the sum of JiW.GX. to
be a tax on tne tonnage of the port of San
Francisco, for the reconstruction of those
portions of the wharves and seawall de
stroyed In the recent calamity. It was
adopted without discussion.

GREAT SHOCK TO MUTUAL LIFE
Cannot Believe British Policy-Hold
ers Will Desert It.
NEW TORK, May 14. The Tribune
today says:
Emory McClintock. vice-nresldent nt
tne Mutual Lire Insurance Company,
who is in charge of the company's
agents in all parts of the world, was
astonished last night when shown the
cable message from London, saying
that the North British & Mercantile
Company might take over policies of
the Mutual Life amounting to $45,000.
000. He said he was not Drenared to
believe that the British company had
agreed to do everything- represented.
jir. mcjiintocK said:
'I feel confident that the policy-holders
win not enter into any such arrangement
n any great number. They would get no
more saiety ana worse results. Any policy-holder
who has been in the- Mutual
Life for any length of time would lose
the benefit of all he has paid into the
company. In the first place, although
that cable message makes announce
ment to the contrary, the North Brit-
sn Ac Mercantile will not accept such
policy-holders without medical exam
ination." That D. C. Haldeman. former man
ager In London for the Mutual, and
who it is announced will loin the
North British & Mercantile Company,
could take over much of the business
of the Mutual to another company, Mr.
McClintock said, was preposterous. He
added that he did not see how any re-
speciaDie company would engage in
such an enterprise.
When this news was communicated
to Samuel Untermyer. he Is reported to
have hurried dispatches to London ad
vising the various interests ha repre
sents to try to persuade the policy
holders not to surrender their policies.
Mr. Untermyer acted in behalf of the
nternational Policy-Holders' Associa
tion.

former London manager of the Mutual,
today flocked to the offices of the North
British & Mercantile Insurance Com
pany, where they filled out papers trans-
remng tnetr policies to the British con
cern. Mr. HaJttoman claims to hav-e a
majority of the large holders on his Jie.
and expects the smaller ones to follow
their lead.
H. EL. Duncan, superintendent of the
foreign department of the Mutual, who
succeeded Mr. Haldeman in the London
office of the company, did not hear of the
plans until tnis morning, when he imme
diately cabled to New York and is await
ing a reply before opening a campaign to
hold the business. He promises that the
campaign will be an active one. Mr.
Duncan announced that many holders will
continue as policy-holders of the Mutual.

PRINCETON, N. J., May It. Ex-
President Grover Cleveland tonight
paid tne following tribute to the late
Carl Schurz:
I look upon the death of Mr. Schurz as a
National affliction. Though he had reached
length of years a.nd though his activity haj
waned, he was still a power and strong in
fluence In the life and sentiment of his
countrymen.
To those who proceed through high disin
terested patriotism continued to be an
inspiring leader; to those who loved un
flinching moral courage "he was a constant
teacher, and to those who aspired to the
highest ldals In civic life he was an unfail
ing guide. His example and lofty career
are left to us to stimulate the young to
virtuous emulation and to eneburage all in
right living. Such can ill be spared, and
what they leave to us should be carefully
kept aa a precious legacy.

my profound sympathy in the death of
your father. This country has lost a
statesman of Lincoln's generation.
whose services both in peace and In
war at the great crisis of the Repub
lic's history will not be forgotten
while that history lasts."
SAVES SULTAN'S DIGNITY
Britain Agrees to Turko-Egyptian
Frontier Commission.
. LONDON, May 15. The correspondent
at Constantinople of the Daily Telegraph,
in a dispatch dated May 14, relative to

been spared by Great Britain in the ac
ceptance of the proposition that the de
limitation of the Sinaitic frontier be de
