HOW TO BUILD A BODY.
One of th*- most important discoveries of late
is the application of the right kind of food to
rebuild the lost substances of the body, thrown
off by the active, nervous work of Americans.
Careful Investigation by experts In food and
dietetics, has brought out the fact that albu
men, which is contained in various foods, is
acted upon by phosphate of potash, not such
as obtained in drug stores, but such as is found
in certain parts of the field grains in most
minute particles, arranged in Nature's labora
tory, not man's.
The part of the grains containing phosphate
of potaih is used in the manufacture of Grape-
Nuts food, .therefore the active, nervous, push
ing brain-worker can feed the body with food
that goes directly to the rebuilding of the
l»rok*n-down gray matter In the brain, polar
j>!exus and nerve centres .ii; over the body,
with the result that the Individual who re
freshes and rebuilds the body with proper ma
terial of th's sort, obtains a definite result,
which he" can f«sei and knew of and which is
apparent to his friends.
A vigorous brain and nerves system is of
i!:» greatest importance to any business man

Untermyer to Aid Jerome in Perkins
Case.
Investigation of the insurance companies to
team whether or not any of their officer* or
representatives have done anything which ren
ders them liable to criminal prosecution was
begun by the special grand Jury empanelled be
fore Justice Scott in the criminal branch of the
Supreme Court yesterday.
The Mutual Life Is first on the list. District
Attorney Jerome announced that John B. Stanch
fleld. retained as special counsel by Andrew C.
Fields, who handled the legislative funds of the
Mutual Uf«w had sent word that Fields would
appear as a willing witness whenever his physi
cal condition would permit.
Another announcement of interest was that
Samuel Untermyer. counsel of the International
PoUcyholders' Association, would be associated
with the District Attorney in opposing the ap
peal from the decision of Justice Greenbaum in
the Perkins case before the Appellate Division
to-day. Lewis L. Delafleld and ex-Justice
Cohen, representing George W. Perkins, former
vice-president of the New York Life, charged
with larceny in having" paid campaign contribu
tions out of the funds of the company, will argue
that Justice Greenbaum was wrong in dismiss
ing the habeas corpus writ, on the ground that
such campaign contributions were, prima facie,
grand larceny, and the specific act should be
passed upon by the grand jury. The connection
of Mr. Untermyer on the side of the prosecution
adds Interest to the argument to-day on ac
count of the special study he has given to the
insurance caeee.
It Is said that the contributions of the Equita
ble Life, which came from its "yellow dog"
fund, standing in the names of President Alex
ander and Thomas D. Jordan, will not be in
vestigated because the money was repaid to the
company from the private funds of these men
and of James Hazen Hyde.
Isaac F. Lloyd, third vice-president of the
Mutual Life, and Edgar *W. Rodgers, manager
of the stationery firm of I4ysander W. Lawrence
& Co., which did all of the printing for the
company, were the only witnesses examined by
the grand jury before it adjourned until to
morrow. Among those who. answered subpoenas
and will be examined later were William Car
penter, who had charge of the farnouse "House
of Mirth" in Albany, and Wallace Babcock and
Harry Epps, of the supply department of the
Mutual. The District Attorney will name a
physician to examine Mr. Fields at his summer
home In Ocean Grove. N. J. If the physician
decides that Mr. Fields can stand the strain of
a grand Jury inquisition, the latter will respond
to a subpoena.
Henry L. Joyce, a lighterage contractor, of No.
343 Liberty street, was selected as foreman of
the special grand jury. His associate* are

George I>. Eldridge, vice-president of the
Mutual Reserve, who is under indictment on ac
count of certain acts in connection with his
company, was on the special jury panel, but was
excused at the request of th. District Attorney.
Four of seventeen members of the panel who
presented excuses were <xcu.sed by Justice Scott.
Ten of those not so t-xcused were afterward
drawn. Thomas J. Haverwell was excused for
legal cause after he had been drawn.
Justice Scott, in his address, which was mildly
worded, said In part:
Tour attention will be called to a series of
alleged crimes which have occasioned much dis
cussion in the public press and in various finan
cial circles. A legislative investigation has been
had Into this subject. So far, the Legislature
has passed laws remedying, so far as it can, all
past mistakes. Your duty is to inquire if any
crime has been committed under the law as it
stood before the legislative action.
In that investigation you will have the active
and energetic assistance of the District Attor
ney, and you are entitled at all times to call
upon Mm for assistance and advice. I charge
you to use great care and diligence and absolute
fearlessness and personal impartiality in the
investigation of this subject. You are not to be
Bwayed by suspicion or clamor in any of your
work An indictment by the grand jury is
merely an accusation of a crime, but an accusa
tion by the grand Jury is a very serious matter
to some people.
Judge Foster, In swearing in the regular May
grand Jury, said:
It Is your good fortune and doubtless the g-ood
fortune of the people of this community that
simultaneously with your service* there is a
special grand jury in session. When the man
holes w«-rt- removed from the sewers, of Insur
ance and the mass of •■orruption, if not of crime,
that existed under the name of insurance was
exposed, it was felt that there ought to be a
drastic and thorough investigation, and so there
has been ordered a special grand jury, whose
entire time may be given to the Investigation of
this very important matter.
HENRY PHIPPS FOR MUTUAL TRUSTEE.
William L. McMillan Also Named for Board
—No Action on Bylaws.
Henry Phipps, ex-partner of Andrew Carnegie in
the steel business In Pittsburgh now a resident of
this city, was nominated as a trustee of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company at a meeting of the trus
tees yesterday. William I* McMillan, of Detroit,
son of Senator McMillan, was also nominated for a
place on the board.
Moth will be elected at another meeting to b<»
held on Monday. At that time the bylaws will lie
taken up for passage. They were: considered yes
terday, but. owing to the objections of several
trustees, were sent back to the special committee.
According to one of the trustees, the defects were
merely in the phraseology, but it is understood
that certain of the provisions will be changed
slightly, as well.
Th*.- following men, nominated last week, were
elected trustees yesterday: Nathaniel Thayer, Hugo
Baring, Louis Stern, George P. Miller, Charles S.
Brown and L<eroy Springs.

XEW-YOKK DAILY TRIBTTF. TFESBXY. MAY S. 1000 •"
•\\E\V 'FRISCO SAFE."
Mr. Harriman Praises Mayor
Schmitz — Trying to Break Record.
Omaha, Neb.. May 7.— 8. H. Harriman's •pe
dal train arrived here at 2:45 p. m. on what is
expected to be a record breaking run from the
Paciflo to the Atlantic Coast The fast running
so far, however, haa been mostly on the Union
Pacific. The train left Oaklond Mole at 7:38
o'clock Saturday night and Sparks, Nev., at 6:47
Sunday morning. Forty-six miles an hour was
made between Sparks and Green River. Wyo.,
and 52.8 miles an hour between the latter point
and Omaha.
The highest speed was made between North
Platte and Grand Island, in this state. The 138
miles were covered In 114 minutes. Twelve
minutes were consumed In changing engines
here, and the party started over the North
western Railroad, expecting to reach Buffalo In
time to catch the Empire State Express, which
will take them into New York at 10 o'clock to
morrow night, making the run across the con
tinent in 71 hours and 27 minutes.
While here Mr. Harriman made the following
statement regarding the situation In San Fran
cisco:
The earthquake was the most severe that has
occurred since San Francisco became a great city.
This Is evidenced by the destruction of churches
and other large buildings— showing undoubtedly
some faulty construction— the older houses erected
by the pioneers and early citizens having in many
cases withstood the shock unharmed, as did also
the recent modern steel structures.
It is fortunate that the construction of many
large buildings was only in contemplation. Their
erection fan now be pursued with the assurance of
substantial construction. Indeed, the experience
will result in making San Francisco the safest city
in the country In which to reside— «bsolutely proof
against quakes and fires.
When San Francisco is rebuilt no material dam
age by any future earthquake need be feared. Un
der the new laws all buildings will be reconstructed
under requirements which will prevent Indiscrimi
nate erection of faulty structures and which will
promote the possible artistic or architectural effect,
by providing that the height of the buildings shall
not exceed one and one-half times the width of
the street, and also that avenues, shall bo widened,
which will enable not only the beautifying of the
city, but will prevent the spread of tires In the
future and make possible a clearer means of com
munication or transportation.
Following the experience of Chicago and Balti
more, which have suffered from great destructive
fires, it is in every way reasonable to expect that
San Francisco, upon reconstruction, within a rea
sonable tim<\ will undoubtedly have reached a point
far beyond that which It occupied before the earth
quake and fire.
The presence of the Vnited States troops was a
great advantage, and their being so promptly and
ably handled by General Funston, backed up subse
quently by a man like Major General Greely, who
took in hand the systematizing and regulation of
the distribution of tne relief supplies and the polic
ing of the city by the regular troops. The courage
of the people, remarkable in itself, was undoubted
ly kept up by the perfect security established by
General Funston.
California was never more prosperous than this
year. The crop outlook is better than for many
seasons past, and all business interests are on a
sound basis, with banks strong in resources. Prob
ably, for this reason. San Francisco Is better able
to stand such a catastrophe than any other city in
the country.
The officer? of the Quartermaster's Department
of th© United States Army, of whom Major Devol
Is chief, anil of the commissary department, and
especially the of the army, have all la
bored unremittingly and effectively In caring for
and distributing supplies ami organising camps and
hospitals. The debt of Ban Francisco to the united
States Army will never be discharged. I think that
is the sentimom of overy citizen. The state mi-
Utia of California has. In nome cases, been criti
cised but, to my mind, its officers and men are
enfitle<l to and will receive a full share of the
gratitude and respect of the citizens of San Fran
cisco and of the state. The men have few oppor
tunities for active service, and are therefore mainly
untried, and it would be unusual were there not
among them a very few who might commit some
act of indiscretion, but such should not call for
criticism of the whole body.
The saving: of the docks and waterfront enabled
the work of rescue and relief to be conducted much
more effectively than would have otherwise been
possible. It Is hard to imagine what might have
happened had means of communication Wen re
stricted to the narrow neck of land south of San
Francisco. The saving of this part of the city was
mainly duo to the <*o-op«ratlon of the Navy De
partment, under Admiral Goodrich, with the civil
and other forces.
To speak a worthy word of Mayor Schmlts an<J
his administration of the city's affairs during a
time which would try the soul of the bravest and
strongest man would sound like flattery, so fully
and effectively has l>e risen to the occasion, so
calmly and unselfishly hae he labored with citizens
of every grade and political faith, to make all the
salvage possible out of the wreck, and to organise
against crime and for the purpose of reconstruc
tion. He has notably proved himself to be the man
of the hour.
As a matter of fact, among all the public men
nn«l hueincss men whom it has been my privilege
to meet I have not found one looking behind him:
»very man had his eye on the future, hie mind
alert and his hand ready to do anything that
would speed him to the realisation of his vision— a
new Han Francisco, larger, more beautiful, strong
er rind more Inviting In every way than the orie
whose ashes now cover nearly twelve square miles
Consideration should be given to the fact that
bad as Is this calamity. It Is restricted to San
Francisco and Its Immediate vicinity, and does not
materially affect or limit the wonderful resource
fulness of the state which goes to make great cities
like San Frnncis"r>.
There is now in San Francisco sufficient labor
of all kinds for present needs. Not until rebuild
ing is in full progress will more be needed.

Returning Insurance Man Says the
Companies Will Meet Claims.
[By Tel«?Kraph to The Tribune. ]
Denver, May 7.— "The net losses of the fire in
surance companies in the San Francisco disaster
will amount to $95,000,000," says B. T. Cunning
ham, of Poughkeepsle, N. V.. special agent for sev
eral Insurance companies, who is returning to New
York after a trip to San Francisco.
"The companies can meet this loss and still have
a surplus with which to do business," he said. "The
flro losses of the last five years have taught the
companies that there must be an increase In rates,
especially in cities. The insurance companies must
accumulate sufficient funds to pay all losses, and
as the premiums of the polloyholders are their
source of revenue the rates must b« increased to
establish a reserve fund."
RAILWAYS ABE RECOVERING.
The following message from President Calhoun
of the Vnited Railroads of Ban Francisco, covering
the street railway situation In that city, was re

one hundred cars In operation yesterday; gross

power station last night. Two hundred cars In
operation to-day. Including line to San Mateo. All
electric lines, except some of those «n burned dis
trict, will bo in operation to-morrow. In addition.
Market streot throughout has .been equipped with
the overhead trolley since the fire, and Is now in
full operation. We will start several additional
electric lines in the burned district as soon a.s
dangerous walls are removed. We will then give
through eW-ctrJo service to all parts of the city.
Normal conditions are being promptly restored
and the city will be rapidly rebuilt.

Board of Aldermen to Make New
Assembly Districts To-day.
Alderman James C. Meyers, the Republican leader
of the board, said last night that the work of re
apportioning the Assembly districts would be taken
up by the aldermen to-day. The Senatorial District
lines were fixed in the bill passed at the Instance
of President Parsons, but the Work of carving each
of these districts into three Assembly districts falls
upon the aldermen. The rcapportionment commit
tee consists of Aldermen Max Grifenhagen, chair
man; Diemer. Went*. Guenther, Sturgis. Dottier.
MoCatt. Bunting Cronln. Clifford. Sturgis, Dotzler.
Call. Sullivan and "Wafer. The last three, except
ing Grifenhagen. are the only simon-pure Demo
crats on the committee, the others being Repub
licans and Hearst men.
The Republicans have decided to let Messrs.
Sullivan and McCall do about as they like with the
strong Tammany Senatorial districts when it comes
to laying out the Assembly District lines. "Little
Tim" Is in position to make trouble for some of
the Tammany district leaders If he wants to do so.
The friends of Mayor McClellan said yesterday
that if it came to a question of favoring a Mc-
Clellan man as against an avowed friend of Charles
P. Murphy among the district leaders Mr. Sullivan
would be on the side of the Mayor, as he has been
getting a good deal of patronage from the Mayor of
late.
Alderman Meyers said he thought the committee
would finish its work in about two weeks, so that
the report would be ready for submission to the
board.

HUGHES PRAISES WORK,
Chief Speaker at Opening of
Hebrew Technical School.
Charles K. Hughes was the chief speaker last
night at the dedication of the new building: of the
Hebrew Technical School, at Second avenue and
l«th street. He thanked the officers of the society
for bringing him into the influence of unselfishness
that was prevalent and eaid the contagion was good
for any one. Continuing, he said:
During the last few weeks this country has de
veloped an evidence of unselfishness among the
rich and the humblest poor, each trying to act in
behalf of thu sufferers on the Pacific Coast.
All is for naught In the splendid scheme of edu
cation if there is a lack of efficiency. No educa
tion amounts to much if a man cannot do some
one thing and do it well. A technical education is
one of the most splendid of educations, as it gives
a man v vacation. It should not develop Ingenuity
as much as the power to accomplish something
and be in readiness for actual service Xtt the world's
work. Kducation gives a self-respect that alone
can make charuoter.
We take a special pride in our settlement and
training school work In this country, because it
creates an atmosphere tinged with the love of
service. Discipline goes along with service. When
the historians look buck on this country they will
find that the social settlements were largely the
reasons that our society did not decay. The
preservation of society, despite the attacks that
have lately been made upon it. will come from
this source. The schools of this kind give the
people a fair chance in the struggle for existence
I envy you the work you have to do. It is a living
organlßm that touches society for its benefit. How
raro it is that there is really a thing that lias been
done that will help somebody. We honor the
thought that has found expression in these walls.
We hop*- there will be many others founded, as a
result of this example.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia

MAROONED ON CHIMNEY.
Daring Climb Rescues Workman
from Precarious Position.
[By Telegraph to Tt»e Tribune.)
Camden, N. J., May 7.— John Burnett, of New
York, was held from 7 o'clock this morning till
S o'clock to-night marooned at the top of a
chimney 150 feet high, at the plant of the Ameri
can Klckle Company, at 10th and Elm streets,
and then rescued by a daring steeple climber,
while great crowds of people cheered.
Burnett had gone upon a scaffold on the chim
ney to begin work In its removal, when the
planking gave way. He managed to reach the
top of the stack, to which he clung with despera
tion. The foreman quickly discovered his plight
and started work of rescue. Spikes were driven
Into Joints of bricks inside the chimney, but so
many broke because of the decay of the bricks
that after hours of labor the attempt had to be
abandoned. Meantime a great crowd had gath
ered, offering all sorts of suggestions for rescue.
Some suggested a balloon and others a kite, but
some one hit the Idea when he suggested Joe
Corbett, a steeplejack, of local fame. Corbett
began the ascent upon the spikes that still held,
but for some sixty feet he had to climb the cir
mi!? S. Ides .°/ £ c Btaclt - He carried a rope
which he got to Burnett, and the latter had Just
about strength enough left to.make It&stto the
top of the chimney and slide to safety. He said
the scaffold would be made stronger to-morrow
