HOLCOMB. Secretary Pro Ten . Help Counteract False State- ments. Oakland Real Estate Association Will OFFERS ASSISTANCE TO PROMOTION COMMITTEE Report comes from New York that a group of American insur- ance companies is negotiating in Paris for a.4 per cent one-year $25,000,000 loan wherewith to pay off their San Francisco losses without depending upon the New York money market. This group is said to be composed of the smaller and accordingly weaker com- panies. If this be true it shows a most commendable spirit and those companies resorting to this measure will probably secure a large patronage from San Francisco in the future. This city is bright and observing and has a memory, as every insurance company in the United States will find out later on. It will be as prompt to appre- ciate and reward honest dealings in this matter. of the payment of the insurance losses as it will be to see through any knavish evasions, and to punish them by non-patronage hereafter. PROPOSED INSURANCE LOAN.' Thomas Ma«ree & Sons Report F.ot-a- tlon of Firms on Available Sites South of Market Street. Thomas Magee & Sons have leased I to E. Gulttard & Co.. the tea, coffee j and spice firm, for Frank Arthur iHammersmith, the lot at the north- west corner of Harrison and Ritch streets, 50x75. with a one-story and basement building to be erected thereon. This property was leased for* four years at a total rental of, I $7000. The tendency of wholesalers : and manufacturers to locate in that section of the city Is decidedly strong, by reason of its being on a level with ;Market street, and also cio.se to tha railroad tracks. Hulse. Bradford & Co,, are located on the south side of Harrison, east' of Fourth, and Tyler &• Co., the coffee dealers, are located on the south side, just west of Third. The same firm, has also leased for the Mysell-Rollins Co. the stores on the north side of Clay street, just west of East, one store 23x40 for three years at a total rental of- $4500 to A. Kukaviza; another store 25x113 for three years to Calklxw Newspaper Syndicate at $225 a month; part of the loft in the same building to the Guide Publishing Co. for' three year 3 at a total rental of $1080. Mysell- Holiins Co. are to occupy the rear portion of this building, together with a portion of the loft. The same firm has also leased four stores on" the north line of Sacra- mento street. between East and Drumm. ,one- to "West. Elliott &.

BUSINESS HOUSES MAKE liEASKS I*OR PREMISES That Germany is in a position to supply San Francisco with great quantities of structural steel, notwithstanding report to the 'contrary. Is made known in a com- munication from Franz Bopp, Consul of therGerman Empire, to Mayor Schmitz. This *communication, which is of special importance at this time, is as follows: A few days. ago one of the San Fran- cisco daily papers published the report that the German Steel Association had declined an order -for 100.000 tons of structural steel because delivery was to begin at once and the German wqrks had already, accepted orders which would tax them" to their utmost capacity until the end of \u25a0 the year. I cabled to my Government and have just received offi- cial information to this effect: "'The Steel Association referred/ to in the report (Stahlwerk-Verband at Dues- sellorf) is in a position to fill orders of any size for structural steel and to begin delivery at once." . As under the present circumstances the supply of the domestic structural steel may not i suffice ' for the immediate need of San Francisco, and as her people in that case will- naturally: look for the product of other countries it is my opin- ion that in their own interest the error referred to should be promptly rectified. The stock of Hie]California Wine Asso- ciation In this city Was not a total loss, as 2,100,000 gallons of wine V that passed through the fire was available for mak- ing brandy. Tne loss amounted' to 5,000.000 gallons. Other large wine ; houses , lost 5,000,000 gallons of wine in the^ fire,*and the smaller houses had an aggregate loss. ...organ estimates, of 3.000.000 to 5,000,000 gallons/making up a total wine Joss in San Francisco of 13, 0001 000 to" l. r>,000.000r >, 000.000 "gal- lons. The California Wine Association oc- cupied leased premises before the fire. It owns rea 1ty , near, the old si te and a build- ing may be erected. Ao decisionrin that regard has been reached." "Fortunately, our reser\-e stocks, scat- tered through our various country plants, are of sufficient proportions ,to maintain our own trade as soon as an organization ot shipping facilities can be perfected, but we ' feel compelled to husband . these re- sources, not only for our own uses,- but to help other wine concerns, whose ; stocks have been more completely destroyed, to maintain their identity with the general trade." Percy T.-Morgan, president of tho Cali- fornia^ Wine Association, lias addressed a -communication to-Uhe stockholders -'of the 1 association, Inrwhich he,, sets . forth that the principal inconvenience caused to the wine industry by the fire in April was brought about by • the destruction of old matured stocks of wine in' San Francisco tliat^oannot be replaced. >--\u25a0*. j Owing to the system of managing 'the business in the past it will still be possible to continue dividends, 'as -reserves had been created against .contingencies. The usual dividend checks will ' be left with the' Union Trust Company for distribution to the stockholders on and after May 25. Concerning the present 'situation 'of the wine industry. President Morgan writes to the stockholders of the Wine Associa- tion: • :: ; Advices by wire and mall have been received by-the club from New York to the effect that: proceeds from 1 -, an auction sale of places for the Ladles' Gambol under the auspices of the Lamb Club had netted $7000 and that the amount had bt»en generously do- nated to the Bohemian Club of this city. The enterprise and kindness of the Lambs received prompt acknowl- edgment from Fred AY. Hall, presi- dent of the Bohemians. , The club in due time Svill meet the question of what shall be done with the money. The Bohemian Club has never ac- cepted a contribution of money ex- cept in tru-*t for some specified pur- pose. Some years ago an admirer of poetic preniu* sent to • the club the sum of $r,OO to be applied in assist- ing writer.* am! poots. in its disburse- ment the V-lub made no distinction in favor , of either sex .and treated non- memb'Ts of the club the same as members were treated. 'The Idea of lending, assistance to artists, poets'and singers "appeals f to many .wealthy men and women, jbut extreme care is taken to' impress upon ". the beneficiaries that the" contribution is not charity. It is known that men and women, who have -achieved distinction in the field of literature in California were encouraged -many years ago to: travel abroad and record the impressions of their - v travels. * Artists who. have at- tained celebrity .were sustained ...byv glf ts_ of money in ; their, early strug- gles7> although .the cash was paid un- der the guise of .orders! for pictures. \u25a0 .The Bohemian- Club may find: some method of putting toexcbllent use the generous sum Bof -money contributed by the Lambs Club; of New York.' The spirit which animated tho Lambs is honored -and recognized.' The senti- ment of regard Iskeen for the reason that.Clay. M. Greene, ; Joseph R.

Last week one vast expanse of ghastly and tangled ruins met the eye on all sides in the burned district. Tall, tottering brick walls, blackened with smoke, reared their shapeless silhouettes out of the masses of brick, stone and iron pipes twisted and tangled in all sorts of fantastic shapes. Nothing else was visible save these grisly specters. But behold the transformation one short week has effected. The dismal expanse is already dotted with low wooden and corrugated iron tenements for trade, all bright, new and smiling. They, are even now impartinjr to the desolate scenes a cheerful air. Of course, the}' are humble shacks, but they are new and bright complexioned heralds of the more solid and imposing city to follow them. At the rate at which they are going up the burned area will be pretty well buried in its own graveyard within sixty or ninety days and we shall see m. more of it. We shall bid it farewell for ever without regret. Chicago has already been held up as an example of how quickly a lively and enterprising American city can arise from its ashes. Let us see if we cannot beat Chicago. Reserve. Stocks Will Maintain Trade : V of State. C't BEATING THE RECORD.

The weather has turned damp and disagreeable. For twenty-four hours a rain, unusual at this time of the year, has fallen and the atmosphere is charged with humidity. The rain itself was preceded by several days of cold, windy weather, and our houses, tireless for five weeks prior to the storm, had already become chilled through and uncomfortable. Now, since the rain began, they are worse. Furthermore, many householders are still obliged to cook their meals in the gutter. Our women are running in and out of the houses to and from their street stoves pretty much all day. No sooner do they get one meal iinished and out of the way than they have to begin on an- other. They wear shawls over their heads and shoulders and keep their wraps on, but nevertheless they get more or less damp and chilled. Their shivering figures, bending over their gutter stoves, confront us on all sides, and for a citizen who has any regard for his women folk the spectacle is not one to render him especially cheerful or satisfied with a municipal administration which permits such indif- ference to the comfort and health of the general public. t . . The women are getting the worst of this street cooking nuis- ance, and have all along. They are very patient under it and are showing the world what an admirable and adorable creature the American woman is after all, however we may ridicule her foibles in seasons of comfort and prosperity. But that is no reason why we should prostrate her with pneumonia, rheumatism, chills and fever and a dozen other dangerous illnesses because certain ignorant, indif- ferent or incompetent city officials are too dilatory or lazy or thought- less to give us the use of our chimneys so that we can keep our honses dry and warm and cook like civilized human beings. The* situation in regard to the chimneys has been absurd and in- consistent from the very beginning. Our streetcar service has been restored with tremendous energy; our gas maius have been* repaired and the gas turned on; the water reservoirs have been replenished and most of the houses? supplied with running water in abundance, but our chimneys are still smokeless. The Board of Health insists that we shall boil our water, and - J . -4*.. - it might recommend as supplementary thereto that we boil half a dozen of those officials who are depriving us of our chimneys with their wretched red tape. Warm and dry bodies are as essential to physical health as boiled water, and the Board of Health should take the matter up and insist that we be permitted to use our chimneys. Many hundreds of chimneys have been repaired, but we are not permitted to use them, even after they are repaired. Why not? What possible objection is there to their use? ** v Just as soon as a chimney is repaired an inspector should be available to test it and issue a permit for its immediate use. But no — some functionary ordains that a certain district shall have all its chimneys in order before a single one can be used. That is fool- ishness. \u25a0 It is a matter for the Board of Health to take up, for it clearly comes within the province of the public health and comfort. Give us our chimneys!
