SAN FUANCIRCO, May 13.— One of
the rnusps of the destruction of the

other officials, made a trip down the

of the water compmiy which furnished
the city's water supply from Crystal
Springs nnd other lakes.
Several big breaks were found In the
mains and thus wns explained why the
city wns without sufficient water sup
ply to fight the flames on the days Im
mediately following the earthquake. •
Engineer Schussler showed where th«
company had endeavored to obviate
such accidents by imlng pllnble trestles,
but that even this precaution h«d not
availed In the recent seismic disturb
ances. )
Reservoir* Are Safe
The reservoirs of the company were
found to bo absolutely, safe and mont
of the connections re-established. The
city is now recplving a supply of water
amply sufficient for domestic needs and
for flre protection In the unburned dis
tricts.
Today was one of unusual quietude,
and beyond the arrest of Policeman W.
R. Cooney, who had In nomo unknown
manner secured a supply .of liquor,
there was virtually nothing to disturb
the Sabbath. Cooney became involved
In a quarrel with a citizen and fired a
shot at him.
Cooney Deprived of Star ,
Cooney was deprived of his stnr and
locked up. Chief Dlnan declared that
he would make an, example of him.
Church .services were' held on a
broader scale todny. Temporary struc

had lost their churches by flre, and
where s the buildings had not been
harmed. Indoor worship was resumed.
The sightseers were not so numerous
today, their curiosity apparently hav

FIREMEN'S REINCORPORATE

By Associated Frees.':. ■ , , '
vSAN FRAwrwco. May 13.^1n view
of the fact that. the- Firemen's Fund In
surance company lost Its' maps and
records -of San Francisco business In
tho recent conflagration, a new 'cor
poration is being formed for the pur
pose of protecting its policy holders
and agents by taking over all the com
pany's outstanding risks. and continu
ing its business.
W. J. Dutton, of the Firemen's Fund
Insurance company, said:
' "The new company, was formed, not
on account of any weakness of ■ the
old, which Is amply able to meet all
Its liabilities and have a surplus re
maining, but only because the loss of
tbese Important records makes- It neces
sary for the company to file sworn
statements with the insurance commis
sioners, based on actual figures.
"This would leave' its business open
to constant raiding by competitors.
"This company's old stockholders are
to have the option of subscribing up
to their present holdings, thus retain
ing their ownership in the company's
valuable plant by practically a volun
tary assessment, and preserving to
such stockholders as could not meet an
assessment If levied their interest in
the assets remaining to the old com
pany after settling its liabilities. • '
"All the prominent San Francisco
stockholders have already subscribed
and so many applications have been
made for such stock as may remain un
subscribed as to indicate a very con
siderable over-subscription."

FATHER GAPON'S
BODY IDENTIFIED
BELIEVED THAT PRIEST WAS
MURDERED
•Corpse of Labor Leader Found In
Finland Village — Many Declare
That Former Mystery Is .
Solved
By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 13.— The
mystery of the fate of Father Gapon
apparently was cleared up today by
the. discovery of a corpse, which has
iilmo.it positively tx-en Identified as
that of the former priest, hanging in
the upper chamber vt a lonely villa in
the summer suburb of Czerkl, Finland.
, The villa was' sold April 8, and a
deposit paid by an unknown man from
St. Petersburg, who after visiting the
house several times 'n company with
a. young New York man, disappeared
April 11, taking the key with him.
The proprietor of *he villa, alarmed at
the non-appearance ot the tenant, noti
fied the police, who entered the house.
Breaking down a door they were con
fronted by a body in a long coat hang l
ing from a nail, the feet touching the
floor.
Decomposition of the face made posi
tive Identification difficult, but the fea
tures resembled those of Gapon and
the clothing corresponded with that
worn by the missing labor leader.
As the usual symptoms of strangula
tion were absent, it is conjectured that
the man was killed elsewhere and his
body brought to the villa on the night of
April 10, This would agree with the
date of the execution of Gapon, given
in information of the secret police and
with the death sentence of the former
priest as announced in recent dispatches
from Berlin.

of his and Senator Bailey's negotia
tions through ex-Senator Chandler with
President ItooseveU regarding the rate
bill, toulght made public a portion of
the written statement to him by Mr.
Chandler of his views on this subject
to the president.
The portion given out by Mr. Tlllman
la largely a repetition of the first part
of his statement in the senate yester
day. It covers, however, that portion
where 'Mr. Tlllman had quoted Mr.
Chandler as saying that the president
had stnted that he had come to a com
plete disagreement with the senatorial
lawyers who were trying? to defeat or
injure the bill, naming Messrs. Knox,
Spooner and Foraker, regarding which
statement Senator Lodge subsequently!
he said, was authorized to say from the
White House that It was an unqualified
falsehood.
On thin subject Mr. Chandler,.refer
ring to the president, said In his written
statement: <■
Could Not Agree
"He said that he had been much
troubled by the possibility of an un
limited court review by some of the
lawyers In the senate — naming Senators
Knox, Spooner and Foraker— as trying
to. Injure or defeat the bill by ingenious
arguments, but that he had come to a
complete disagreement with them. He
made. this point emphatic by repeti
tion." . . '■■
The statement given out by Mr. Till
man follows: ,
i Senator ; Tlllman said today that on
Saturday, May B, he insisted on having
from ex-Senator Chandler a writtea
statement of the various conferences by
the latter in connection with the plan of
the president to control rate legislation
by alliance with Democrats -of the sen
ate and Mr. Chandler gave him such a
statement made prior to Saturday and
signed by Mr. Chandler. . . .;..'. ;

Int.erv4ew\ of , Mr»f Chandler-, wlth.lv the,

would, retain the remalndor for use in
case any 'other parts of his statement
in the senate on Saturday should . be
denied. > • ■
The following Is the portion of^Mr.
Chandler's statement given out by Mr.
Tlllman: : ■•'■-. .:/■
I "On Saturday, March 31, 1906, a'frlend
of mine came into ray office and told
me of the White House conference of
that date in which an understanding as
to a; limited court review had' been
reached with Senator Long and others,
and he , told me that the < president
wished to get- into communication with
the Democrats and would shortly ask
me to come and see him. While he was
talking a messenger boy arrived with a
letter to me from Mr. Loeb, as follows:
Invited to White House
• "'THE WHITE -HOUSE, Washing
ton, March ■ 31.— My I Dear ! Senator
Chandler: The president requests me to
say that he would be glad to have you
come to the White House to see him at
6:30 o'clock tonight. Will you please
let the bearer know whether you can
come? Very truly yours, ,
" 'WILLIAM F. LOEB, JR.
" 'Hon. W. E. Chandler, 1421 I street/
"I told the messenger I would be
there. . , <■
"At the time and place appointed the
president said to me that he wished,
through me, to get into communication
with Mr. Tlllman, Mr. Bailey and other
Democratic senators. He stated his
purpose slowly and carefully and in
exact substance his statement was this:
Wanted Review Limited
■ "That he had reached the conclusion
that the best plan for railroad rate
legislation was to expressly grant a re
view but to distinctly limit it to two
points— first, ' an Inquiry whether . the
interstate commerce commission had
exceeded Its authority, and second, an
inquiry i whether the constitutional
rights of tho carrier had been violated.

troubled by tho advocacy of an un
limited court review by some lawyers of

Spooner and Foraker as trying, to in

"He made this point emphatic by
repetition; said that he would go thus
far. and no further, and that his de
cision would be unalterable.
Asked for United Action
"He declared | that he wished to as
certain whether there could be united
action in the senate among the friends
of the bill so it could be surely passed
wlthout'injurious amendments, and he
named | various Republican senators
who, he thought, were true frlendn of
the bill, but said that It would take
nearly all the Democrats to carry the
limitation and defeat all the obnoxious
provisions." . . . .' '-
i'After the president had made his
statement I replied that I had reason
to believe that a number of Democrats
In the senate would sustain a limita

to inaue injunctions against the orders

of some such restriction. '
