co.1NsURANcE FRAUD
Knocked out by the City Council of
Dallas,

Dallas.
The city council Of Dallas re-
fused to insure the public build
ings unless the co-insurance clause
was stricken out of the policies,
and the insurance agents quickly
complied with the terms and con-
ditions of the city. Alderman Pat
O'Keefe, on the subject Of COIN
surance, publishes the following
in the Dallas Times-Herald:
A Word to the Public on Co-Insurance:
"The question having come be-
fore the city council in connection
with the insuring OF public build
ings owned by the city, while L
shall always believe the city
should carry its own insurance, as
many well conducted business
firms do, and not submit to any
dictation from insurance agents,
the question for the public to con-
slider now is, what shall we do to
eliminate reinsurance"
My Fl Ist action was in the coun-
Gil. The aldermen, as representa-
tives of the people, should have
declared against the reinsurance
clause, as they we'll knew that all
the principal cities in. the state
have taken action against co-insur-
ance. But the weak plea Of having
no other course but to remain at
the mercy of the insurance agents
prevailed. We might better burn
up all our public buildings, rather
than give up to a few insurance
agents.
But to show the public, and es-
pecially the poorer classes, who
own only their little homes, what
insurance agents really are, it
il only necessary to state that they
have come to terms with the city
and have taken the city's business
with the co-insurance clause out.
Now, why cah not each block of
business men in this city do the
same as the city council and
the mayor do-say to them
selves we will carry our own
insurance? In so doing they
will insure each other with fully
double the amount of precaution
against fire from their neighbors
and when the insurance agents
find they are losing customers they
will come to terms.
l learn from the representative
of the largest implement house in
Chicago that the insurance COM
panies of that city tried the COIN
surance clause with them, and
they refused to insure unless it
was waived, and brought them to
terms.
Again, it is the duty OF the pow
erful to help the weak, and il all
large business firms would get to-
gether and carry their own insur-
ance, they would find that they
can dictate, instead of being die
tated to, and do a charitable act to
their weaker fellowmen.
These, my fellow citizens, are
my views in reference to co-insur-
ance." PAT O'CEEFE.

ANOTHER FoRGER.
Wells Fargo Express Assailed on
all Sides.

Wells Fargo Express Assaulted on
all Sides.
The Taylor Texan, Of May Is,
publishes the following additional
news of forgeries committed in the
name of the Wells-Fargo Express
company:
A SLICK ROOSTER.
A young fellow giving his name
as E. K. Erwin worked a very
smooth game on couple of Taylor
merchants last Friday. 1t had
been raining during the day, and
after dark he went into the gents
furnishing store of Louis Wagner,
and saying that he was afraid of
getting wet and sick purchased a
macintosh and several other
items, in payment for which he
presented a check OF the Wells-Far-
go Express Co., for $50. He received
in change 500. He then went to
Goldstein & Davis, purchased So
worth of carpeting, ordered it sent
by express to Hutto, and had a
$4S check cashed. Although he
told Mr.. Wagner that he was here
purchasing Jersey cattle for his
ranch in Del Rio, and would re-
main several days, it seems that
he suddenly remembered some I'M
finished business at Austin. At
all events he was not seen in Tay-
lOr any more, and we next hear of
his operations, similar to his
Taylor deals, being perpetrated in
the Capitol city wh, re he pass d
of five of his handy express
checks. Detective Gates was in
Taylor day or two after the young
mans departure, hot on his trail
1t seems that this young forger
had succeeded in robbing the
Wells-Fargo Express company of
some Sc blank checks at some
small station, and was working
them off as he went along. A gen.
tleman in Taylor claims that he
knows the young man, and states
that he is from Del Rio, is a tele-
graph operator by trade, and that
his real name is Morse.
