APPEALS FOR HELP
Policy-Holders Are Asked to
Advise in Winding Up
Company's Affairs.
THREE CONCERNS INVOLVED
Directors Declare That If Court
Proceedings Are . Avoided the
Creditors 'Will Receive at Least
Sixty Cents on the Dollar.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 24. (Special.)
After making: every effort to carry their
concern through the crisis, the directors
of the Fireman s Fund Insurance Com
pany have at last appealed to the policy
holders to help them In winding up the
affairs of the company. The situation Is
complicated by reason of the destruction
of the records of the corporation.
With the Fireman's Fund are allied the
Home Fire & Marine Insurance Com
pany and the Pacific Underwriters. The
total liabilities of the three concerns will
exceed $10,000,000 and may approach $15,
000,009. It Is stated that about 60 cents
on the'dollar will be realized.
The directors of the Fireman's Fund In
surance Company requested the policy
holders' League, of which H. Welnstock
Is president, to advise with them In form
ing a plan for winding up their business.
The policy-holders' League has consented
end Andrew Carrigan, Joseph A. Dono
hoe and F. W. Dohrmann have been ap
pointed, an advisory committee.
Every effort will be made to save the
Fireman's Fun and its companion, the
Home Fire & Marine, from being thrown
into the hands of a receiver. The direc
tors express the opinion that if the ex
pense of court proceedings can be avoid
ed, each company will be able to pay
Its creditors an average of not less than
60 cents on the dollar and possibly more.
The action of the Policyholders' League
was taken upon receipt of a communica
tion to President Weinstock by Bernard
Faymonville, vice-president of the Fire
man's Fund. It sets forth the difficulties
with which the Fireman's Fund Is beset,
carrying Its own responsibilities and
those of the Home Fire & Marine, whose
failure has been announced, not to men
tion the Pacific Underwriters, whose pol
icies are guaranteed by the Fireman's
Fund and the. Home Fire & Marine Joint
ly. The communication represented to the
policyholders that the investments of the
local companies were in local securities,
and that disaster must follow any attempt
to throw these on the market In a lump.
The only practical basis of settlement
appeared to be part payments at stated
intervals, and it was suggested that the
co-operation of the policyholders was es
sential to the carrying out of the project.
The liabilities of the Fireman's Fund
stand at between $5,000,000 and $7,000,000;
those of the Home Fire & Marine at $2,
000,000, while those of the Pacific Under
writers foot up about $1,200,000. The Fire
man's Fund also has about $2,000,000 re
insurance to collect, and as its records are
destroyed the officers have found it diffi
cult to trace this reinsurance. However,
about $1,400,000 of reinsurance has been
traced, and a large portion of this Is with
companies that have either failed, left
the Coast or denied liability.
The Home Fire & Marine has about $1,
000.000 reinsurance. The Pacific Under
writers reinsurance amounts to $500,000.
The full liabilities of the three concerns
cannot be determined until all the proofs
of loss are in.
MEDIATE POINTS OF HONOR
Parliamentary Union Adopts Bry
an's Extension of Arbitration.
LONDON, July 24. William J. Bryan's
proposed rider to the model arbitration
treaty was discussed at a session of the
International Council of the Inter-Parliamentary
Union this morning, and resulted
in its being recast, as follows:
"If a disagreement should arise which
is not Included in those to be submitted
to arbitration, the contracting parties
shall not resort to any act of hostility
before they separately or Jointly Invite,
as the case may necessitate, the forma
tion of an international commission of
inquiry or mediation of one or more
friendly powers, this requisition to take
place, if necessary. In accordance with
Article VIII of The Hague convention,
providing for a peaceful settlement of in
ternational conflicts."
On the resumption of the sessions
today the above was unanimously
adopted after speeches by former Aus
trian Minister of Commerce von Ple
ner and Mr. Bryan, warmly supporting
the amended rider. The latter paid that
his amendment was aimed at widening
the scope of arbitration so as to include
questions of national honor, the chances
being a hundred to one that the pro
posed Investigation of facts would also
settle any question of national honor. If
the hand of war could be stayed till the
conscience awakened, wars would become
more remote. The amendment, therefore,
was a long step in the direction of peace.
Mr. Bryan's speech was brief but elo
quent, and aroused much enthusiasm
among the delegates.
Baron d'Estournelles de Constant, head
of the' French delegation, subsequently
opened the debate on the limitation of
military and naval forces. Ha declared
that If the powers were undecided among
themselves how to act for their common
Interests, they would be forced to do so,
first, by bankruptcy, and then by revolu
tion. He said that limitation of arma
ments had no connection with the chime
ra of disarmament. The arguments
against disarmament were based on the
augmented expenditure of the powers.
The augmentations In the United States
were due to the unfortunate example In
Europe, but In proportion to the popula
tion the American forces had not been
increased unreasonably, and the expendi
ture had augmented proportionately, the
armaments proving the Inaptitude of
Americans to transform themselves Into
a nation of soldiers.
Germany, continued the Baron, commits
the grave fault of struggling with the
United States for naval pre-eminence,
and thus divides her energies both on
land and sea uselessly, for the American
States were united and Inaccessible, while
the states of Europe were divided and
will always be menaced by the possibility
of a coallltlon against them.
A resolution was agreed to In principle
urging that the question of disarmament
be placed on the programme of the next
peace conference at The Hague. The ex
act wording of the resolution will be dis
cussed tomarrow.
Congressman D. L. D. Granger, of
Rhode Island, was elected vice-president
of the American delegation for the coming
year, and Congressman Richard Bar
tholdt, of Missouri, and T. E. Burton, of
Ohio, were elected members of the Inter-,
national Council.

E
GIVES PROSECUTION EVIDENCE
ABOUT HARRY THAW.
Mysterious Female AVith White's De
tectives Mrs. Thaw Denies She
Will Seek Divorce.
NEW YORK, July 24. Mrs. William
Thaw, Harry Thaw's mother; his sister,
Mrs. George L. Carnegie, and his wife,
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, paid another visit
to the Tombs prison today. While wait
ing to see her husband, Mrs. Harry J.
Thaw was asked if it is true that she is
seeking a divorce from him. Mrs. Thaw
replied:
"That story is perfectly absurd. It is a
cruel canard. There is absolutely nothing
to it."
, Much speculation was caused at the
District Attorney's office late this after
noon by the appearance of a new witness
in the Thaw case whose identity none of
the officials concerned would make known.
She was a woman past 40 years of age.
She came to the Criminal Courts building
in company with P. L. Bergoff, the de
tective whom Stanford White employed
when he is said to have feared injury
from Thaw. The detective and the
woman went to the office of Assistant
District Attorney Turnbull, where they
were closeted for an hour, a stenographer
being in attendance. A great deal of at
tention seemed to be paid to the woman,
and hr appearance so late In the day was
taken to mean that she had something of
Importance to contribute to the District
Attorney's case.

PEONS IN LUMBER CAMP
NOT WORRIED BY LETTERS
Thaw's Counsel Says They Put Mrs.
Holman in Bad Light.
NEW YORK. July 24. The defense has
placed an entirely different construction
on the meaning of the letters written by
Mrs. Holman, Evelyn Nesbit's mother,
which were made public on Sunday. In
stead of conceding that Thaw's case had
received a hard blow, the opinion of the
counsel for the defense yesterday was
that the letters would aid Thaw mate
rially. "I am not the least bit worried by their
publication." Clifford W. Hartridge, chief
counsel for Thaw, said. "I leave you to
draw your own conclusions1 from them.
They don't worry me. Neither do they
worry Mr. Thaw Or Mrs. Thaw in the
slightest. I may have a statement from
either or both of them in a day or two
regarding the letters. Of that I am not
yet sure."
It is understood that the defense In
terprets the letters altogether differently
from the prosecution. Whereas the pros
ecution holds that Thaw was placed In as
unenviable a light as possible, the defense
holds that White Is more Injured than
anyone else. The fact that Mrs. Holman
accepted money from him and also asked
him for money in the letters is one
ground given. Mrs. Holman, the defense
holds, was cognizant of her daughter's
behavior at all times and when Thaw
succeeded in gaining her affection Bhe
pleaded with White to try to win her
away from Thaw. The letters, the de
fense believes, verify this idea.
In a reply to a note which was sent to
Mrs. Harry Thaw last night informing
her of a report originating in Pittsburg
that she was about to bring suit for di
vorce, she wrote: "It is perfectly absurd."
SCORXS THEORY OF INSANITY

DEER PARK, Md.. July 24. District
Attorney William T. Jerome and Assist
ant Attorney Garvan, of New York, were
guests at a farewell dinner given by
Colonel John McGraw of West Virginia,

said:
"This Is probably another one of the
extremely numerous cases in which Dr.
Hamilton will be afforded an opportunity

PENSACOLA, Fla., July 24. Peonage in
a vicious form is charged against the of
ficers of the Jackson Lumber Company at
Lockhart, Ala., and United States depu
ties, armed with warrants for their ar
rest, left here today for that place If
the allegations are true, about 100 immi
grants, mostly Germans, are held in the
lumber camps of that company virtually
as slaves.
A party of Germans reached here today
from the camps, stating that they had
escaped. They went to the German Vlce
Consul for protection, and told him a. tale
of ill-treatment and cruelty that has
hardly a parallel in the South. They said
they were brought South in February,
under representations that they would re
ceive $3 to $5 per day, but only $1 was
received from the company lor laDor.
They allege that they were compelled to
eat after the .Americans, and, if nothing
was left, they got nothing. None of them
was allowed to leave camp and when they
attempted to leave they were caught and
severely beaten.

EXPELLED FROM HIS UNION
Alexander Fairgrieve Fought Fede-
ration in Montana.
ST. PAUL. Minn., July 24. A special to
the Pioneer Press from Helena, Mont.,
says:
Alexander Fairgrieve, president or the
State Federation of' Labor, has been ex
pelled from membership In Mount Helena
Miners' Union, of this city. This action
has caused no little comment in union
circles. Charges were made that Fair
grieve had used his position as president
of the State Federation of Labor to fight
the Western Federation of Miners, of
which the Helena union Is a part.
Among the charges said to have been
preferred against Fairgrieve was that he
made a remark to the effect that Moyer,
Haywood and Pettlbone, Western Federa
tion officials accused of killing Governor
Steunenberg, of Idaho, should stay in
jail.
Strike on Southern Pacific
NEW ORLEANS, July 24. A strike of
the Southern Pacific Railway Company's
repairers, which extends almost entirely
across the State of Louisiana from here
to Lake Charles and involves 500 men,
was begun today.
The strike involves nearly every class
of workingmen occupied In making and
inspecting cars. The men demand recog
nition of their union. Reports from La
fayette, La., tonight said that the strike
would shortly extend to Houston, Texas.

OPEN DOOR IN MANCHURIA
Foreign Diplomats Have Not Been
. Able to Take United Action.
TIENTSIN, China. July 24.-Japan's f ul-
flllment of her promises regarding the
open door in Manchuria continues to be
the principal topic of Eastern politics.
The Chamber of Commerce of Shanghai
has repeatedly requested the diplomatic
corps to take action to insure equality
of trade conditions, but the majority of
the diplomats do not consider that the
situation demands it, and consequently
united action is impossible.
American negotiations for the opening
of Mukden and Antung are proceeding.
One of the most important details to be
settled regarding Manchuria is the assign
ment of tracts of land for foreign settlers.
This cannot at present be arranged, be
cause Japanese speculators bought from
the Chinese all the most desirable lands,
including the entire navigable waterfront
of Antung. The question whether these
purchases are valid must be decided be
tween China and Japan.
The American Association of Shanghai
has petitioned Minister Rockhili at Pe
king to press China to resume an .effect
ive administration of Manchuria at the
earliest possible moment and to establish
customs to regulate trade over the bor--
ders now controlled by Japan and Russia.
The government is arranging to establish
a customs office at Antung. The Japan
ese Minister at Pekin, M. Hayashi, has
promised to take up the question of the
opening of Port Dalny in the near future.
The Chinese say they are unable to
take any other steps towards administer
ing Manchuria until the evacuation of
that post, according to the terms of the
Portsmouth treaty.

ST. LOUIS, July 24. By Impersonating
Mrs. Theresa Bodnero, a wealthy Italian
widow. Policeman Carpenter tonight cap
tured a man giving his name as Johann
Hoppe, who Is held on a charge of send
ing a threatening letter to Mrs. Bodnero.
The letter was received today, and de
manded $600 In cash. It threatened that
if Mrs. Bodnero communicated with the
police or failed to provide the money,
ner noma would be dynamited. An ap
pointment was made for 8:30 o'clock this
evening, and Carpenter, dressed in one of
Mrs. Bodnero's gowns, followed the direc
tions contained in the letter. He was
accosted by a man who demanded the
money.
Carpenter handed him a packaae with
his left hand, at the same time striking
him on the jaw with his right. The man
showed fight, and Carpenter, hampered
by the dress, was worsted, and the man
fled. Other police who had been sta
tioned in the neighborhood, took up the
chase and Hoppe was arrested while hid
ing in an ashbin.
Beyond saying that he had been in St.
Louis only two weeks and in this country
only 18 days, Hoppe refused to make a
statement.

(Continued from First Pas'.)
proven too many times to need further
demonstration.
Hoot is equally competent to carry on
the great works started by the present
administration; Just as capable as Taft
and Just as determined in his purpose.
Probably "Uncle Joe" Cannon would
prove almost as efficient as Taft or Root,
though he has not their grasp of the
Panama situation, and might not be as
vigorous in the prosecution of the "bad
trusts." In the late session Cannon was
lined up against -the President on the
meat Inspection bill, and this may be
taken as an indication that he is not en
tirely in accord with the President's pol
icies regarding corporations.
Fairbanks Least Available.
Of the four men named, Fairbanks is
the least available. He is not Such a
man as Roosevelt; he and Roosevelt have
nothing in common. With Fairbanks in
the White House, the prosecution of the
trusts would be continued in a half
hearted way, and might stop altogether.
Fairbanks is a practical politician. He
knows where campaign funds com. from,
and would be loath to make any move
that would Interfere with the campaign
receipts. Under Fairbanks as Prresldent.
there would be few land-fraud prosecu
tions, for Fairbanks gives a ready ear
to political leaders, and on the advice of
leaders in different states, would soon
stop the prosecutions, for fear of injur
ing some of the "good party men." As
far as the canal is concerned, it would
have to take care of Itself. Fairbanks
does not possess the firmness necessary
to push this work to an early finish. In
no way is Fairbanks equal to the job of
filling Roosevelt's shoes.
But there is material at hand that fills
the bill and, if Bryan is not to be the
Democratic nominee, or if he is to be the
candidate of only the radical wing of the
party, some one of the men named could
safely be nominated and run little risk
of defeat at the polls. Bryan as the
leader of a reunited Democracy, running
on new Issues, would be a formidable
opponent in 1908, but Bryan, on his" old
issues and professing his belief in free
silver, would be as easily defeated as he
was in 1896 and in 1900.
If Bryan does not change his views to
meet changed conditions. It will not be
necessary for the Republicans to renomt
naet Roosevelt, but they maw do so any
way, if they fear that some other man
would fail to carry out the good work
now in progress.
