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.

ident of the local government board,

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.
