tity of liquors left the Presidio early In
June for tha commissary of the board
of health. Whether - It arrived at its
destination or was ' absorbed or evap
orated an route Is not known. All that
can be learned Is that It has - vanished.
A. few days ago Dr. J. Wilson Bhlels,
to charge of the relief hospitals, reo-
qulslttoned the board of health for a
barrel of alcohol. He received half a
gallon, and upon protesting learned that
very little more was stored in the ware
house of the board of health in Jeffer
son square. - An investigation followed.
It transpired that of the nine dray
loads of hospital supplies., by fsr the
greater part of which ware alcoholic
stimulants, sent from the Presidio early
In June, less than half a load was In tha
storehouse. The books of the Utter
place, show that some wine and whiskey
was received on June SI. and soma more
on July I. ' What became of the lot
shipped to the commissary early In
June neither Dr. J. Hughes. In charge
of the oommlssary, nor L. T. Munroe.
the storekeeper, Is able to say. -
Bo far as can be learned, colonel J.
Prechenln . shipped the liquor from tho
Presidio about June 1. Tha exact date
la not known, as Colonel Prechenln Is
now in New Tork land has the records
of 'the transactions with him. He
ordered tha stuff taken to ths commis
sary for the board of health. '
General Oreely aald yesterday that, to
the best of his knowledge, the liquor
was delivered. Ernest P. BicknelU sec
retary of tha relief committee, said that
he, too, understood the board of health
or tha Central Emergency hospital had
got the whiskey. Dr. C F. Millar says
he never saw-it at the emergency hos
pital. ' Dr Hughes declares It did nut
reach the board or health storeroom.
Dr. Bhlels wants to know where It Is.

(Special Dfepatea by Leased Wire te The Jeenial)
San Francisco. July 11. The Com
mercial Union. Palatine and AUlanoe
Insurance companies of London have
made up their minds to take a commer
cial, rather than a strictly legal, view
of the earthquake clause la their poli
cies that la to aay, while, as they de
clare, they are advlssd by their attor
neys that the earthquake elause covers
the entire three day a' conflagration and
that they do not legally owe a cent to
their policy holders in the burned dis
trict,, thsy are prepared to take up
clalme on their merits and to aattle In
accordance with what they deem to be
fair adjustments, despite tha fact that
they are Involved to the extent of $15,-
000.000. .
Tble Is taken by Insurance' men to
mean elmply that the attorneys for
thess companies-have advlssd them also
that the burden of proof Is upon them te
show that In each Individual case the
loss was directly or indirectly attribut
able to the earthquake, and that ther
realise this must bs a difficult problem
to solve In a oourt of law and before a
Jury, i -
Aa far as possible then they win seek
to avoid litigation and will endeavor to
treat with their policyholders, denying
liability only in cases where thsy are ad
vised they have a good defense under
tbelr 'earthquake clause.
: The Norwich Union will undoubtedly
follow the lead of these companies. The
Rhine ds Moselle also Is expected to fall
In Una. now that its oifer of a $500,000
"donation" In lieu of settlement haa
been refused by Its creditors.
The British companies will give" out
an official statement of their position
Monday. This decision of the British
companies will mean a great deal to tha
Ban FY an si aco people. Partially, at least.
It releases some Hi. 000,000 in olalma that
at one time, looked like being tied up In
long and bitter litigation. Even as It la,
bowsver. It Is not expected that the
situation 'will be cleared up without a
number of lawsuits. The policyholders
wboss claims are denied will of a surety
have recourse to the courts.

Bra sen la his cool daring, the ealooa
robber scored again- last night. This
time he touched the saloon of S. J.
Poulssn. at 167 Burnalde street, for
111, escaping as usual from the fright
ened man behind the bar.
. This is the third trick turned by the
sane man. Though the datectlvee have
an azoellent description ol him . tnsy
have not been able to find any one who
corresponds to the stories of the bold
robber told by the saloon man.
At 10:41 last night a dark, awarthy
man. apparently an Italian, entered the
saloon on Burnalde street, and laying
down a Quarter, asksd - for a glaas of
beer.
C A. Hal torn . waa the bartender.
When he turned from, the cash register
to give the eustomsr his (0 oents he
looked directly Into the business end of
a gooa-sised revolver.
"Hand over the money," aald the
hold-up man. Haltora obeyed without
queationlng his right to dictate. About
111 in sliver wss obtained. The man
wore no mask and made no effort to
conceal his features. Whan ha had put
tha coins In hie pocket he backed out
of the saloon and disappeared In the
darkness. There waa no one slse in the
place at the time,
Haltom Immediately telephoned tbe
police station and Detective Hart man
waa assigned to the case. He eeoured
a good description of the man from

given by the other victims of tha same
daring bandit.

la to rafss money to replace tha sumptu

The manner in which this season of
prayer la carried on is characteristic of
the place. In the two great towera of
the Temple of Zlon, towers which com
msnd the sntlrs Androscoggin valley,
two or more of thedlsolples, generally
those holding more responsible positions,
are constantly . prostrated - for - prayer.

retire, and another of the band takes his
place. At this time "Elijah" Sandford
himself, who recently returned from a
trip abroad. Is praying night and day,
with only short intervals for sleep and
tha taking of nourishment.
Whan the contributions, which have
been coming In seemingly a moat mirac

(Special Dispatch by Leased Wire to The JoaroaTV
Saa Fraaolsoo, July II. . Lumber
"gougera" In the trust controlling the
entire coast supply have raised the
prices oa all varieties of lumber used la
Ban Franolsco rebuilding, and the ad
van oe la II per thousand feet.
'The railroad trust la aiding tbe lum
bar trust, snd en the Oakland side of
tha bay there are 1,000 care of lumber
tied up and to be held there until fur
ther orders are issued.
These ears are loaded with the lumber
that la needed la the rebuilding of the
eity, but to further the interests of the
"gougera tha lumber is - being kept
out of tha-market That which Is
callable now is being eold at a prioe
higher than was over before obtained
for lumber bare and higher than ought
ever to be necessary while the northern
forests last, .
' Trains Are Xeld TJ
, Oa account of the trouble between the
steam schooner ewnere snd- sailors'
unloa the deelera have been e ending
lumber from the Puget sound country
by rail instead ef by water. - , ' -
Tbe loaded trains are held ea the Oak
land aide of the bay aad there seems te
be little or no attempt te dlaeharga tbe
freight. The result le that while the
lumber laden freight ears are blocking
ell the yards that are available, lumber
haa become scarcer and scarcer in Sen
Francisco and it Is dlffloult for the
builders to obtain what thsy need.
Today it waa announced that on ae-'
count of tba congeetlon of ears at the
point about tha bay there was a ear
shortage in the north and no more could
be loaded for San Franolsco and Oak
land in the north at the present time.
This order will probably remain In force
aa long as necessary to uphold tho trust
In Ita still advancing rates for lumber. .
Tgvlldlag TuijinsTlile
No building of any extent Is possible
here now and tbe rates may go muoh '
higher before the needs- are supplied.
With the railroad trust and lumber trust
operating together and with the water
ways of transportation tied up by a
atrlke that is largely controlled and
dl rooted by railroad Interacts, there is
little prospeot of early Improvement In '
conditions. Fdr the present the re
building of Saa Francisco is seriously
checked. - ' - -.... r-,-,
The Retail Lumber Dealers' associa
tion, which by Its practice In raising
tbe prices on finishes' lumber at regu

known aa the "gougere," hae again In
creased the price 11 per thousand feet
This leaf advance was made at a meet
ing last Thursday and In explanation of
It a member stated that It was done be
euse It wse expected that the whole-'
ealere were to raise thslr prices' short
ly. The Utter declare that If the salt

freight rates ic win be necessary for
them to make a raise In prices.
