Efforts to Control! English Com
panies.

London, Nov. 3.-English fire insur.
ance circles are alarmed at the efforts OF
American capitalists to gain control OF
several Of the big London companies.
The first direct offers came from the
Morgan group, but these were rejected.
Then the stock of one of the biggest
companies was quietly bought, and 1t
was soon found that Morgan and his as
sociates practically controlled the com
pany. The reason for this move on the
part of the Americans is that they have
found the American companies are I'M
able to cover all the insurance required
by the shipping and other trusts, hence
the necessity of obtaining control OF the
English companies.
