But of little service here at home.
Honolulu people want local proof.
The sayings of neighbors, friends

What the Companies Insure.

In insuring property these COM
panies contemplate and intend to pro-
vide protection against such fire losses
as occur from usual and ordinary
causes, such as accident, incendiarism,
ETC., and the policies which they issue
expressly limit their liability to such
losses. The language of the policies is
SO framed as to exclude claims for
losses arising from unusual causes. The
rate of premium which insurance COM
panies charge is based upon the expec-
tation that they will have the aid of the
civil authorities, fire and police, and of
all who can lend a helping hand, in
extinguishi1g any fire which may start,
and 1t is certainly not their intention
to insure against the deliberate de-
struction Of property by the govern
ment.

ON INSURANCE
Lawyer Van Ness Talks
for Companies.
How Property is Insured and Pre-
miums are Set-The Law
And Liabilities.

Mention has been made in the press
that Mr.. T. c. Van Ness, a prominent
lawer, of San Francisco, came down on
the last steamer. representing the in
surance companies who had issued
policies on the buildings which have
been destroyed by fire in connection
with the plague; some by direct order
of the Board of Health and others
which caught fire accidentally from
such intentional fires. II has also been
publicly stated that the Firemen's Fund
Company would pay the losses under
their policies, but that the other COM
panies had refused so 90 do. II is
understood that the amount of insur-
ance represented by Mr.. Van Ness, pay
ment of which is refused, aggregates
something like $250,O00. So much is in
VOWED to Honolulu people in this ques-
ton that an Advertiser representa-
tive waited on Mr.. Van Ness and asked
him If he would not make a statement
of the position taken by his companies,
of the reasons why they would not pay.
and why they acted differently from the
Firemen's Fund Company. Mr.. Van
Ness replied:
II have no objection to stating the
position of the insurance companies
concerning these Honolulu fires. 1t is
their understanding that the losses
caused by the destruction OF property,
either directly by order of the civil
authorities, or indirectly by the spread
ing of fires started under such orders,
are not within the risk assumed by the
companies. and hence that their con-
tracts with the owners OF such property
do not make them liable for these
losses.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-03-06
The Question of Law.

II has been suggested that there may
De some difference between those cases
IN which the building was directly
hred by the Government. and those in
which the destruction of the nronarty,
was by reason Of the spread OF fire so
set; but this is clearly not so. In each
case the loss resulted from the action
OIL the authorities, and It has been de-
cided by as high authority as the Su-
preme Court Of The United States that
IN such case the cause OF the second
nre IS that which started the first one
IN other words, that the second fire
would not have taken place but for the
order which caused the first one. and
therefore, IL is that order which is the
cause OF both fires. This is Certainly

The Intention of Companies.

the law and would seem TO be common
sense.
The Intention of Companies.
AS l have already said, it is not the
intention of the companies to insure
against extraordinary hazards arising
from such health conditions as have re-
Gently existed here; hazards in the face
of which they are deprived of the pro
lection of the fire extinguishing facili-
ties OF the municipal government. and
by reason of which the loss is not from
any Of the usually to be expected
causes, but by reason of the purely ar
bitrary action of the authorities.
Not only are such losses not caused
directly by fire, within the meaning of
the policy. but 1t is in all these insur-
ance contracts substantially provided
that the COMPANY shall not be liable
for losses so caused. The language
used is. that the company
shall not be liable for any loss directly.
or indirectly, caused by any order OF
the civil authorities. The fires here
have certainly been caused either di-
rectly or indirectly by the orders con-
demning the property TO destruc-
ton because of supposed infection.
Hard Upon Owners.
1T may be very hard upon the owners
OF this property that it should be de-
stroyed, but the losses not being with
in the liability assumed by the COM
panies, the latter cannot be called up
on to make them good. believe that
one company having policies upon
some of this destroyed property has
paid the losses; but IL is nv under
standing that this company has been
advised that under the peculiar word
ing of its contracts-the wording diff
fering materially from that in the pol
icies of the other companies-it was
liable: and for this reason it has set
tied, taking an assignment against the
Government of the claims which il has
paid.
THE experience of this particular
company would seem to make evident
the wisdom of so framing a policy as
to cut out liability for such losses as
these, for while the company may be
willing to write large aggregate sum
upon different risks in such a place as
the Chinese quarter, upon the theory
that with the protection usually afford
ed, all the risks assumed would not
probably be destroyed in one fire, it
certainly could not, with safety to it
self, write such insurance, if at any
time, upon the discovery of some in
fictitious disease, the whole quarter
might, upon a moments notice, be
condemned to destruction, and the
company held liable for losses so caus-
ed"
Asked if the companies expected
suits to be brought against them, Mr..
Van Ness replied that he did not.
"Of course, cannot be positive as
to that" he said, but 1t seems TO me
so perfectly clear that the companies
are not in any way liable, that / can
hardly believe that those whose prop
erty has been destroyed, will care TO
add the expense of litigation TO the
losses already suffered"

The Present Not Fire Risks.

Experience has demonstrated that
business wisely done upon these lines
prospers, and the companies which
persistently disregard the various con-
siderations | have mentioned go to the
wall. But the risks to be run under
conditions such as have recently ex-
listed in Honolulu, cannot be estimated.
and therefore, they are not assumed.
In fact, these risks cannot, in any prop-
er sense of the word, be said to be fire
risks. In all these policies the COM
panies agree to make good only such
direct loss or damage as is caused by
nre; and this means that fire shall be
the promoting cause of the loss. But
IN these Honolulu cases the true cause
or the property destroyed was not the
nre, but the condemnation orders of he
civil authorities. The moment those
orders were made the property affected
by them was doomed to destruction
and was valueless for any purpose
Inc nre was but the means used IN
enect that destruction. A BUILDING wa
no more destroyed by fire under these
circumstances, within the meanin, Of
the insurance contracts. than If n had
Deen torn down by the authorities in
the first place and then the debris set
on hre. 1t might as we'll be said that
tne ak used in knocking apart a build
ing condemned by the authorities was
the cause of the destruction OF that
building as to say that in these cases
the IRE and not the order was the
cause. In each case the true cause of
the destruction is the condemnation
ana the resulting order of the authori-
| ties.

How the Premium is Set.

I'm determining what premium shall
be charged upon particular risk, they
take into consideration the character
Of the property to be insured. its con-
dition and it's surroundings, the eff
cheney or non-efficieney of the local fire
department, and to a very considerable
extent, the personal character of the
person seeking the insurance. Apply
ing to these varying conditions the
knowledge resulting from past exper-
fence. they estimate the percentage of
chance of property upon which insur-
ance is sought, being destroyed by fire,
and the proportion which the premium
10 be charged shall bear to the amount
to be insured is thus determined. To
the amount so arrived at there is al
ways an addition to meet the expenses
OF the business with an allowance for
profit upon the capital invested

After the Caterpillars.

Taxidermist Balch of Lunenburg, who
is doing some work at the Museum this
week, has made the important discovery
that the crows and blue jays are great
eaters of both the cocoons and clusters
of eggs of the caterpiIars, of which this
section has been infested the past few
years. The blue jays have been more
abundant this winter in northern Yer.
mont than for many years and Mr..
Balch thinks it is because they have
found so much food in the line mentioned.
He has watched the blue jays with
glass and seen the birds eat the eggs and
when they cannot reach the end of
small branch they fly up against it ana
by beating their wings brush off the eggs
and then pick them up. He has seen the
crows go through the same performance
to get these egg clusters. The crows
have not been SO numerous this winter,
but those that have come back have
searched fruit trees for eggs and pried
around crevices for the cocoons which
did not hatch out last season. AS both
the crows and blue jays have been con-
sdered the natural enemies of the farmers
and the targetfor any gun it isgratifying
to learn from an ornithologist that they
are of so much use in the world.

THE CHORAL UNION FESTIVAL
1Continued from list page.l

trained under Mr.. Blaisdell's sklllful
leadership for five successive winters ana
naturally showed this year the good re-
sults of such training. The parts were
we'll balanced and each chorus OF TINS
GRAND oratorio was given with great
precision and power. Special mention {, !,
should be made of For unto us child
is born" "All we like sheep have gone
astray,"and the "Hallelujah" chorus.
These were magni6cently sung and sur
prised and almost electrified an apprecla,,
five audience. Such a chorus could
probably not be heard outside our large
cities, and this oratorio is rarely at
tempted by small chorus. The soloists
appeared to their best advantage and
were heartily applauded. :,
A delightful social feature of the week
was a reception given the chorus and So
loists by Mrs. William c. Tyler and Mrs
P, F. Hazen at Mrs. Tyler's home on
Friday afternoon.
The only thing lacking to make the
festival a decided success was the sup
port of our townspeople. 1t was ois'
couraging enough for the chorus and So
loists to face rows of empty seats, put
they have the satisfaction OF knowing
that those who were in the audience
went because they appreciated gooo
music given by first-class talent.

Road Commissioners Meeting.

W. B. Wall of Randolph, state commits
sioner of highways, met the commission
ers of Caledonia county at the hall OF the
Avenue House last Wednesday. The
meeting organized by electing Horace
Jackson of St. Johnsbury, chairman, and
H. E. Eovey of Lyndon, secretary. Only
three towns i'll the county, Groton, New
ark, Sutton, were not represented, and
the road commissioners were also present
from Concord, Greensboro, Lunenburg
and Newbury.
The morning hour was devoted to
helpful address by Mr.. Wall, who told
his audience how they could get the ben
eft of the five per cent state tax for per-
manent roads, and making strong plea
for good roads throughout the state.
He said the people did not realize how
largely the summer tourist business de-
pended upon good roads, or how much
more econo mically farmer could man.
age his property if he could have the ben
eft of better roads in drawing his loads.
Through the five per cent state tax the
state treasurer disbursed $4,000 last
year and III miles OF permanent road
were built. Only two towns in Vermont
tailed to draw this money, while the ma
jority of them used up the entire appro-
priation. This is law that benefits the
small towns for towns with a small grand
list get the best returns, while Burling-
ton paid $4,000 into the treasury, and
received back only 1913.
Mr.. Wall said so few towns could af-
ford steam roller and crushing machine
that he would not dwell upon that but
cited as piece of good work Eastern
Avenue in this place. He thought the
Talford road almost as good as macadam,
and explained to the commissioners the
best way to build such road. Before
concluding his remarks he said he hoped
that each road commissioner would be
reelected as continual change meant in
efficient service.
At the afternoon session there was ar
informal discussion of all matters per
tanning to roads and Mr.. Wall was freely
Intercepted. The meeting adjourned al
2.3O O'Clock after which Mr.. Wall wen,
to Newport to conduct a similar gather
ing tor the benefit OF Orleans county com
missioners.
