Local Managers Meet, But Fail to
Agree, and the Rate War Still
Gees On.

The mana gers of nearly all the fire in
surance agencies in San Francisco met
yesterday at California and Battery streets.
/ Their purpose was TO proceed with the
organization of a compact which would
have for its object the maintaining OF
rates. On the street there was considerable
conjecture as 10 the possibility of the
managers accomplishing anything. They
had met so many times within the past
two years, and failed hopelessly, other
insurance men merely shook their heads
and remarked, as if it all were foregone
conclusion: lit can't be done
This time, however, the general agents
mean business. The home offices have
grown weary OF the relentless war in rates.
and revolted, so that more than one local
representative, who had distinguished
himself as fighter and an anti-compact
man, has made a complete change of front
Manager Magil of the Phoenix and
Howe companies. who had stood out all
through the struggle on the ground that
the non-intercourse rule sought 10 be in
corporated in the constitution of one
abortive com bine after the other, was IN
Americana boycott in fact. He held
that rule prohibiting intercourse with a
company not in the union was not busi-
nessIlke or becoming. At last his home
Office suggested il would be Advisable to
make some concessions. Manager Null
Inns OF the Commercial Union, also an
nounced his Willingness 10 come into line.
Other managers said they we're only too
willing to have peace at any price.
So meeting was held a week ago. The
non-interoourse clause, il was then con-
ceded should be abolished, since it was an
Objectionable stun bling block. In its
stead q clause was introduced which would
fix penalty an agents for breaking rules
OF the proposed com pact.
Matters were in this condition yester-
day when the meeting was called TO order.
No progress could be made II seems, for
/ the managers adjourned until next Tues
/ day, thereby postponing the whole pro-
ceedines one week.
! Rolla V. Watt, manager of the Royal
and Nowich Union, did not attend, as be
was not q memb of the Union. He
/ asked many concessions granted
many more, but it is not yet certain that he
will join with his colleagues. Ii which
case the succe ss of the present movement
I would be exceedingly doubtful.

evenings enjoyment came to close al

for the purpose of raising a fund for uni

ton that he thought it best to advise the
indictments on that account.
According 10 the inside story. which was
not disclosed to the court, Harvey Dor
rowed money from Mrs. Smith, pledging
AS security stock in the FL Dorado County
Fruit-growers' Association. 1t is said also
that he neglected 70 pay her taxes, and
she was compelled TO put up 500 on short
notice to save her property, although he
had advised her that her property affairs
were all right.
Some fifteen years ago the old Farmers
and Merchants Bank, with which Harvey
was connected, succumbed to financial
fluctuations. Among the depositors was q
rowing but careful mining prospector
named Williams. He put in $4,000 in coin
as special deposit few days before the
hank showed signs of weakness. When
the disaster came the management claim ed
that Williams was regular depositor and
had no better claim than other depositors.
He was not so easily put aside, however,
but persisted in his demands until he got a
mortgage on some Placerville orchard
property. Williams died and left hi. es-
tate to two heirs, who have since foreclosed
