BURGLARY INSURANCE.

The Latest Thing In tho Way of Guaran-
teeing Indemnity For Losses.
Burglaries have become so frequent
in Chicago that several capitalists have
aow under consideration the formation
of burglary indemnity company. Hard
y day passes in which some residence
or mercantile building is not entered
by thieves and valuable property dam
aged or taken away. In a large percent
age of the burglaries the property is
rover recovered. Even when it is found
the article is generally in damaged
condition and of little value.
When the company commences bust
ness, its policy holders can go away
from home for few days Or abroad for
vacation and not be in a perpetual
state Of worry about the safety of their
household effects. This would be be-
cause the company believes prevention
of housebreaking is even better than
the conviction of the burglar. An eff
cient force of watchmen would patrol
tho district in which the insured lived.
When burglary was committed, the
policy holder would have to report at
once to the offices cf the company. Its
agents would so to the building just as
the adjusters of fire company would
in case of loss All tlio property dam
aged would bo taken possession of as if
it were salvage, and trained detectives
would endeavor to run down the crimi-
nails.
A charter has already been issued to
the company in Iowa, where capital
of $50, 600 was subscribed. Application
was then mado to tho insurance com.
missioner of Illinois to do business in
this state. He looked up the law, and
though it does not expressly include
burglary indemnity companies in its
provisions he decided that the company
could legally do business if 500, 900
subscription was raised in the state.
This will now be done, and the head
quarters for tho United States will be
established in Chicago. From here
branches will likely be established in
all the large cities Of the country. In
Great Britain and Canada similar COM
panies have successfully transacted busi-
ness for several years. Chicago Times.
