INSURANCE FRAUD DENOUNCED
Frisco OmciaI Says Some COmpA nies
Are Scaling Losses Because of
Burning of Books.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 17.-Insurance
Commissioner Wolf today denounced a
fraud that he says has been practiced since
the fire when cases of penalizing claim
ants for the loss of their accounts were
brought TO his attention. He says that
penalties have been charged by many of
the so-called dollar" companies. Commits
sioner Wolf is now questioning the right of
the companies TO deduct percentage from
claimants policy because his books were
burned.
The commissioner commented unfavorably
on the effort the "six-bit" companies are
making TO get into the list of dollar"
companies and the tendency of the latter
to save percentage on payments now
that their dollar for dollar reputation
is established.
Roger owen, manager OF the Commercial
Union Insurance company of London, who
came here a few days ago with other
British agents to investigate the local sit
uatlon, said today:
We are here investigating the facilities.
TO go into the circumstances and merits of
all cases.
They are not all alike by any means. OF
course, the earthquake clause IS the tickler.
II you ask me personally and individually
whether the earthquake clause applies TO
our losses in San Francisco, / would tell
you that it does so apply. But officially
we cannot speak al this time because we
have not all the facts. OF course, If we
can prove that the fires I'm the city were
caused by earthquake, then. we are ad-
Vised, we are not liable for the losses
There Is also equity involved for the
widows and children shareholders, who look
TO the companies for their dividends and
of course we have their interests at heart
also. The directors are acting in the DO
sition of trustees. They have no power 70
act beyond their contract. They have no
more right TO cheat the shareholders out OF
/ their interest or property than has any one
/ in the United States 10 conhscate private
| property without due process of law
| We propose fair treatment for ALL nc
! prefer ences no fish for one and fowl for
I the other; what We can do, we will do
/ what we can't do We can't do even il VIZ
would. OF course, It should be remembered
/ that there is a clause IN our policies thai
/ this company is not liable az once for the
] loss oCcasioned directly OF Indirectly by in,
