THE INSURANCE SETTLEMENT.
Board Believed to Have Been Made
Stronger by the Fight.

The final steps in the long drawn-out
settlement Of the local insurance war
have been taken and the Potomac Com
pany, the National Union, and the agencies
of outside companies that have been out
of the Board of Underwriters have been
readmitted. At a meeting OF the board
Thursday night. President Cohen, Chair
man, action to this effect was taken,
which HIS since been ratified by the
companies affected.
The settlement is victory for the
Potomac and the other companies that
were suspended from the board several
months ago. The rule adopted by the
board limiting to three the number of
agencies which any one company was to be
allowed has been rescinded. This was the
rule which the suspended companies re-
fused to obey.
In many ways, however, it is believed
that the association is stronger and
more serviceable organization as result
of the war than il has ever been before.
The adoption OF the compact manager
plan, which will put all rate adjustment
into the hands of an experienced outside
man, is considered by many the best step
ever taken by the association. The abol-
ishment of all relief" is also considered
a long step toward harmony and the strict
observance OF the rules. The insurance
rate on preferred risks has been cut
on al average 20 per cent by the board,
and this cut will be maintained.
In addition to this the officers of the
association and many of the agency COM
panies generally that supported them be-
lieve that the tendency is certain to be
toward fewer agencies in the future. or.
in other words, toward the adjustment
of multiple agencies.
The Board of Underwriters is now look
ing around for a compact manager. 1t has
been decided that this man shall be a
resident of some other city. probably from
the Middle West; that he shall be I'M
known personally to the members of the
association. and that he shall be an in
surance underwater of experience and
ability. The salary to be paid him is
s., 900. His position will be of great i'm
portance. He will take the place of the
executive committee and of the rating
committee and will in reality have charge
of the executive insurance work of the
association generally.

GALLAUDET REsE2vES WIN.
4 Druising Game Results in the De
feat of the Georgetown Props.

In bruising game yesterday George
town College Props went down in defeat
before the heavy rushes of the Gallaudet
Reserves by score of 5 to 0.
The game was closely contested from
start to finish. Much time was taken out
for injuries to players. Gallaudet made
their touchdown about ten minutes after
play commenced.
Heavy mass play proved very effective
in netting steady gains and when the
ball was pushed nearly to the goal line,
Strong carried 1t over Haynes failed to
kick goal. Later Gallaudet worked the
ball to the Preps' two-yard line and the
call of time prevented what looked like
a certain touchdown. In the second half
nearly all the playing was in Georgetown
territory.
The line-up was as follows:
