Railroads Ordered to Divest From Coal Lands
Interstate Commerce Commission report to Congress finds major carriers including New York Central and Pennsylvania own interests in coal lands and mines. It recommends after a transition period that carriers engaged in interstate commerce be barred from owning or holding any stake in coal properties unless for their own fuel supply, highlighting favoritism and improper stock gifts to railroad officials and widespread control of coal traffic.

Three German Firms Refuse San Francisco Losses
Representative Kahn stated in Congress that 118 fire insurers covered San Francisco property after the quake. Of these, 30 were foreign with 6 German firms. He said most American companies paid in full, while the Germans and Austrians largely repudiated, potentially yielding about 30 cents on the dollar after court action and state department pressure. The report notes English firms largely behaved, and many foreign insurers have withdrawn from the state. Also included is an advertisement for a cold remedy and a Grove's signature on boxes.

Insurance remarks after the 1906 San Francisco fire

Postal expenses rise as postoffice bill eyed
The post office appropriation bill likely totals between 206 and 208 million dollars, up from 19 million for the current year, driven by higher pay for letter carriers and clerks and by the growth of railway mails. The House committee plans to report the subcommittee draft next Tuesday and seek House action next week. A roughly seven percent pay decrease for railway mail transportation is also proposed.
