MILLIONS TIED OP A HIDEOUS MARRIAGE MOCKERY. San Francisco Suffers at Hands of Insurance Companies. -a-wr •*- • - • ks| oi «.*: - (t£ POLICY HOLDERS BAND TOGETHER a C -v- ft, ¿ a ft, s. i ¡¡■ iti , * Business o f Bay City But One Third o f What It Was During Month o f May 1905. San Francisco, June 9.— Interest here has centered in the insnrance situation. Business conditions remain uncertain and wait upon the settlement of losses. The time has come when the insurance companies must positively declare themselves. The policies held by San Franciscans call for the payment of about $200,000,000. So far but little more than $3,000,000 has been paid, and almost all of this was in small amounts. The $200,000,000 is needed to enable the people of the city to re sume business. How badly the money is needed may be gathered from the clearing house figures. In May, 1905, the clearances in San Francisco amounted to $147,000,000. For May, 1906, the clearances amounted to $50,000,000. In other words, one-third as much business was done last month as in the corresponding month a year ago. The policy holders have become weary of the dilatory tactics of the in surance companies. They have re frained from criticism for six weeks, but now are insisting that their claims be paid without further delay. The policy holders of each company have banded together for protection. They have the support of the newspapers, the commercial bodieB and the indus trial and commercial organizations of every city on the coast. They no long er deal as single individuals with the insurauce companies, but present a solid front which is not to be repulsed. This organization w ill save them in the end. It is known that millions of dollars are lying dormant in the banks of this city and Oakland to the credit of the insurance companies. The question naturally suggests itself: Why do not the insurance companies pay? The answer is that they are trying to drive the best bargain they can, hoping to bring about a compromise in the end. These are not pretty tactics, but never theless they are used. London, June 11.— John Burns, pres ident of the local government board, liaB requested the Foreign office to com municate with the State department at Washington and ascertain to what ex tent reliance can be placed on the ays tern of meat inspection undertaken by the bureau of Animal industry.

M AR R IA G E OF A SOCIETY DAME TO A CONDEMNED C R IM IN A L. Iu England, during the eighteenth century, women, by a curious legal anomaly, were relieved of all debts upon their marriage. Women of fashion who had become involved In financial straits, used often to go to Newgnte prison and innrry condemned criminals Just tiefore the cart started with the latter for Tyburn hill to be executed. This shocking mockery of the Christian Institution of marriage seems to have had the approval o f the corrupt society o f thut period, and it Is an evidence o f Improved manners, morals and man hood that such a hideous thing would be impossible to-day. It Is recorded In one case that a condemned criminal thus married was unexpectedly reprieved and the society woman found herself Is. an unfortunate position, from which she was ultimately released by the discovery that the man was already mar ried, the second marriage being, accordingly, Invalid. 3TANFORD M E M O R IAL C H APE L. the spire of which was 188 feet high.
