HOT SHOT.
Continued from first page, part two.l

NOb'''''NA iioii ptSt, Bblt bNo
a company fails, as in the case of the
Manhattan Fire. In regular order
must come the rumors of a deficit,
which, of course, the officers say will
be Immediately made up; the innocent
surprise of the officers when they
learn that the department has thrown
out some of their questionable secur-
ties; their positive assurances to the
insurance world that n reorganization
will ut once take place and everyone
be paid in full.
Then after the insurance world has
let down the management as easily
as it could be arranged, a quantity
of salve must be prepared for the
benefit of the stockholders whe were
not in the deal. This of course, takes
the form of explanation as to the I'M
looked-for losses, the unfair competi-
tion of the giant companies, the heavy
expenses.
Every insurance man knows that
the Manhattau's failure does not be-
long in this class. Among the stock
holders and the policyholders and
agents, the burdens of an insincere and
unscrupulous management were borne.
Can anyone believe that two such
shrcwd men as President Myers aud
Manager Squire did not know the
condition of company whose capi-
tai of 100000 was almost entirely
wiped out in two years? President
Myers is the man who has the moral
responsibility to bear in this. Not
much was looked for from MIR.
Squire, but President Myers, who had
the reputation of Il shrewd business
man, was expected to see that the
Manhattan was conducted in busI-
ness-liEe, honorable way. Squire was
only to furnish the steam. Myers is
the man who must come up with the
money if he desires to keep his record
clean.
We understand there are large
number of small stockholders in Oleve-
land who We're induced to invest their
savings in the company. The stock
holders i'll the Myers Squire clique
probably have not lost much, taking
one thing with another.
The talk of organizing Il new com
pany IN order to save the plant of
the Manhattan will strike many as
being little short of ridiculous.
A good lesson can be learned from
the Manhattan's career, and thar is,
that sooner or later IA company that
does not follow safe course in under
writing will come to grief The fire
Insurance business is sufficiently well
established so that experience will
tell just how far company can so.
The Manhattan got out of the con
servatlve pathway. 1t had no prohi-
bited list, except for moral hazard;
1t based its line on rates, and followed
other just as peculiar tactics. The
management was not such as to com
mand the confidence of underwriters
Its only opportunity was TO pay high
commissions and thus attract agents
The lesson should be taken to heart
by agents, for there are other conf
panies in the field just rs culpable as
the Manhattan, who seek to seduce
agents by great promises aud excess
compensation.
