AN INSURANCE COMBINE,
Franz Jacoby's Agency Trans
ferred to Cesar Ber-
theau.
Other Consultations Are Expected
to FolloW-The Rate War
Responsible.

The Prussian National Insurance Com
pany has gone into the Cesar Bertheau
Agency, and Franz Jacoby, its old man
ager, has been summarily dropped.
Jacoby had been Pacific Coast manager of
the concern for good many years, and
his father held the same position before
him. so his removal has caused consider
able comment among insurance men.
For cause TO account for the change
insurance men are almost unanimous in
the belief that the recent rate war is re-
sponsible They also believe that the
same cause will be responsible for more
changes of the same kind. The ratio of
expenses and the premium incomes of the
local agencies have been too near the same
figure for months back and the companies
can retrench only by cutting down eX-
penses. 1t costs but little more to run
two companies than to run one, and still
less in proportion to run three or four in
the same agency.
The rate war has been, in effect, like
candle burning at both ends. In the re-
duction of the rate the companies lost III
their premium incomes sometimes as high
as 80 per cent. Where before the pre-
dropped suddenly to $4,000 and $4,000.
Daring all this time the losses ran from
$4,000 to $4,000 and there came no decrease
in the losses with the decrease in the
income.
This state of affairs made it imperative
that the loss ratio should be reduced by
taking only the safest risks, and this
policy further reduced the premium in
come until the profits of the insurance
business were extremely meager AS 1t is
now most of California and all of San
Francisco has been worked out, from the
standpoint of an insurance man, and most
of the new policies now being written are
from the Northwest.
The Prussian National has not been in
particularly high favor in insurance circles
since the wrangle over the payment of the
losses at the Buyer 81 Reich fire. The
local insurance men determined to contest
the payment of the losses, and for some
time they held together in this determine
ton. Jacoby finally weakened, however,
and the Prussan National paid the claims
against it. This action met with a storm
of opposition at the time, and it was still
remembered in the various offices even
after all claims were ordered paid by the
court.
. The Cesar Bertheau agency has now the
Hanover, Germania, United Fire of Phila-
delphia, Fireman's Insurance of Baltimore
and the Prussian National There are
other agencies where the companies have
been grouped in just the same way, and it
is expected that within few weeks more
companies will follow the example of the
Prussian National, and will crowd in
together IN the larger agencies.

Bank has been iudicially stopped until a
little matter of 5000 deposit made by
Samuel Montague & Co., bankers of Lon
don, Eng, to be paid to resident of the

paid through the Pacific Bank to a Tacoma
bank and by the latter handed to the
payee. 1t got as far as the Pacific Bank
and there it stopped.

dividend arrangements. 1t names J. NJ
