A RATE WAR INEVITABLE
BELIEF EXPRESSED BY CERTAIN
LOCAL INSURANCE MEN.
The Relations Strained and Restora-
ton of Harmony Regarded as
Improbahle-<The Outlook.

Now that a board of underwriters has
been formed by aocal fire insurance COM
panies, and thee Association of Fire I'm
derwriters, composed mainly Of agency
companies, is still In existence, the local
situation has by no means cleared up. In
addltion to these two organizations there
are seven or eight companies doing busi-
ness mere which are sustaining an inde-
pendent relation. These are the companies
recently suspended by the association and
subsequently reinstated. The suspended
companies, however. have not returned to
membership in the association, neither
nave they Joined the board which has just
been formed. There are, therefore, in addi-
tlon to the companies composing the men,
oersh1p of the two associations, a third
class of fire insurance NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
VINO don't belong to either organization.
Inc situation is an embarrassing one to
conscientious members of the old associa-
tlon, for the rules prohibited its members
from doing business with companies not in
the association. 1t often happens that a
FISK Is given to company which is larger
IN amount than it cares to carry, and SO a
portion of 1t is offered to some other COM
pany or companies. Under the rules all
such companies must be members of the
association. The new organization, how
ever mas not adopted such a rule, and
therefore can do business with any COM
pany.
1t Is thought 1t will be difficult for the
association members to live up to their
rules. and, in fact. 1t is said there are daily
Vloiations. Owing to this alleged inability
10 enforce its own regulations 1T is predict
eo that the association will have short
existence. But in case of the disintegration
OF the older organization there is not much
nkehhood or the members joining the new
poard, because Of the irritated state of feel
ing, winch has reached such pitch that
is believed harmony will be impossible
among the insurance men of the District
men are compelled by financial loss to yie,D
their opinions and prejudices. For this rea-
son the belief is a general one that a rate
war Is inevitable, and that the sooner it
comes the better it will be for the fnsur-
ance business of the District.

CASE OF LIEUT.. DALEY.
His Answer to Charges Filed With
Mai. Sylvester.

Lieutenant John c. Daley of the ninth po-
lice precinct, against whom complaint was
recently made by James l.. Norris because
the police official made an affidavit con-
corning alleged irregularities at the demo-
cratic primaries recently held in the Dis
trict, has submitted his report to Major
Sylvester. While the report has not yet
been made public it is known that the lieu
tenant claims he did not make the affi-
davit for use either at the Kansas City
convention or before any committee. He
claims that he gave the affidavit to Mr..
Cotter T. Bride, with the understanding
that 1t was to be shown to William Jen-
nings Bryan upon his arrival here. No
action has yet been taken in the case
1t is stated that the police officials make
no claim that Lieutenant Daley violated
the paragraph of the manual relating to
politics. If charges are eventually pre-
ferred against him they will charge n vio-
lation of rule 45, which says that, except
with the permission of the superintendent
or captain. no member of the force shall
communicate any information respecting
orders he may have received or about his
contemplated movements.

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
James ID. Gray Committed Suicide at
Local Hotel.

Local Hotel.
James d. Gray, who committed suicide
by drinking chloroform at the Chicago Ho-
tel, on Pennsylvania avenue yesterday
afternoon, stated in The Star, came
here from Philadelphia Monday afternoon
with his wife to attend to some business
matters. His mission in Philadelphia, 1t is
stated, was to meet his business partner.
Samuel A. Williamson. Monday night, after
reaching Washington. he rode out as far as
Glen Echo with his wife. Yesterday morn
ing he went to the Chicago Hotel, short
distance from where he had registered with
his wife.
He talked with Mr.. Connors, propri-
etor Of the hotel. and about 8 o'clock in
the afternoon informed Mr.. Connors thtte
he had but five minutes to live, and re-
quested that his wife be summoned from
Made's Hotel. Mrs. Gray was summoned,
but her husband died before she reached
him.
The deceased was a native of Erie county,
Pa He graduated as a physician from
Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore,
but has not practiced his profession for
some time. A number of years ago he
moved to near Industry, w. Va, where he
was interested in number of business en-
terprises.
While Dr. Gray had visited this city on
business a number of times he was better
known in Baltimore than he was here.
In the Monumental City the doctor
was a member of the order of Odd Fel-
lows. and members of local lodge called
on the bereaved widow last night and ten
dered their assistance.
Acting Coroner Gazebrook gave a certifi-
cate of death after he had learned of the
facts in the case. and the body was taken
to the undertaking establishment of ]. w.
Lee and prepared for burial. The funeral
will take place tomorrow afternoon. The
body will be inferred in Congressional Gem

Messrs. AmZi Smith and John c. Fay as
executors of Mrs. Eliza ]. Smith. by Samuel
A. Putnam. attorney, have brought suit
against the Mutual Reserve Fund Life AS
sociaton of New York on a policy of 81, 900
Issued on the life Of Mrs. Smith in March,
1888. The declaration says that Mrs. Smith
took out policy in March, 1883, on the as
sessment plan, at a maximum annual rate
indorsed on the policy of s4O.7O, and that
she paid assessments regularly till August,
1898. when the company undertook unlaw-
fully as she charges, to raise the assess
ment to sG'.1S. She continued to pay at
this rate till February, 1898, she says
when the company, as alleged. unlawfully
undertook to raise the assessment to $40 "a.
She paid two assessments under protest
and In June, 1898, rendered the company

claims, it was entitled to charge She died
February 2. 1899, and her executors claim
that after August 1898. the total assess
ments that could have been lawfully
made were s1s2.o6, and she actually paid
sl9s.o3, or total payment on the policy of
$4,000 for $1,000 insurance. Proofs of death
having been furnished and ninety days
elapsed and payment being refused, suit is
brought by the executors.

APPLICATION DENIED,
The Cancellation of Certain Assess
ments Passed Upon.

In the case of Mr. d. O'C. Callaghan, at
torney for Mr.. Bartholomew Diggins, who
applied for the cancellation of certain assess
ments against sublots IS, 10, 20 and 81,
square 791, for sewer in North Carolina
avenue. Mr.. A. B. Duvall, the attorney for
the District, has advised the Commission
ers to deny the application.
The claim for cancellation, states Mr. Du-
vail. is based upon the fact of the payment
Of a sewer tax in January, 1873. when the
land comprised in these lots was connected
with the trunk sewer laid in the middle of
North Carolina avenue. The connections
then made were, however, temporary, and
were only allowed for accommodation be-
cause Of the absence of a service sewer.
The assessments now sought to be can
celled. explains the attorney. are for
service sewer laid December 1, 1882 con-
structed inside of the curb line.
In making connections with this new
sewer the connections with the original
sewer in the carriageway were taken up,
and Mr.. Duvall is of the opinion that the
fact that these lots We're thus allowed tenn
porarily to connect with the trunk sewer
does not operate to relieve the property
from assessment for the new service sewer.
