STATES MAY LOSE.
Appropriations for Rivers and Har
bors May Revert to Government.
Washington, May 10. Unless con
gress takes specific action at tho spec
ial session now in progress, nearly $1,
000,000 appropriated for river and har
bor improvements in various sections
of tho United States will be turned
back into the national treasury, much
to the chagrin of many congressmen
and senators.
This situation arises over tho "cov
ering back" section of tho sundry civil
bill, approved March 4. This section
provides that all unexpended balances
of spproprtattons that remained on the
treasury books Juno 1, 1904, except
permanent specified appropriations.
judgments and findings of courts and
trust funds and appropriations for ful
filling treaty obligations with the In
dians be carried to the surplus fund and
covered back into tho treasury, "pro
vided that tho money is not needed to
pay existing treaties."
To meet tho situation. Senator Burton
haa introduced a resolution providing
that tho section or the sundry civil bill
in question shall not be construed as
applying to the unexpended balances in
river and harbor appropriations which
may bo essential, In tho judgment of
the secretary of war, for tho mainten
ance and prosecution of tho work for
which it was appropriated.
Among tho appropriations that will
rovert aro :
Mouth of Columbia river, Oregon.
$24,000; entrance to Coos bay, Oregon,
123,000; restraining barriers Sacra
mento and Feather rivers, California,
$14,000; and harbor at Tacoma, Wash
ington, $11,000.

tho former date there have been no

MUST PAY LOSSES
Insurance Companies Cannot Pat
Blame on Earthquake.
IT COULD NOT DE CAUSE OF FIRE
Insurance Policies Cover Fires Due
to Dynamiting Test Case Is
Won at San Francisco.
San Francisco, May 11. An Import
ant decision relative to tho earthquako
clause, of fire insuranco policies was
handed down today by the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals. It directly
affects several hundred pending suits
against Insurance companies for losses
sustained in the great flro of April,
1906, and may result In the insured ob
taining the principal of their policies
with interest for three years.
Tho cose decided today was that of
the Richmond Coal company against the
Commercial Union Assurance company
of London, In which It was sought to
recover about $20,000 insurance on coal
in tho bunkers at Spear and Howard
streets, which caught fire several hours
after the earthquake of April 18, 190C,
and was destroyed after smouldering
for a month. The Circuit Court of
Appeals reverses the judgment of the
lower court, which was in favor of tho
insurance company.
Tho higher court decides that the
earthquako was not the proximate
cause of a flro which occurred after tho
earthquake shock, practically holding
that an earthquako cannot cause a firo
directly and that for an earthquake to
be the Indirect cause of a fire tho blazo
must follow immediately upon tho
quake.
Tho Appellate court also decided an
other very important point, which Is
that a firo following upon an explosion,
such as ono caused by dynamiting, is
eovcrcdjjy the terms of tho insurance
policy.
