Atlanta Birmingham Co. ]. in Trouble. MIR. SEXTON MADE RECEIVER Corporation in Distress Because of
 San Francisco. Petition Filed by Attorney-Generai wilson for Temporary Receiver
 Granted by Judge sayre
 Last Night.
MR. SEXTON MADE RECEIVER

The Atlanta Birmingham Fire In . gurance Company was last night placed in the hands of a temporary receiver, Deputy Insurance Commissioner A. C Sexton, by Judge A. D. Sayre, of the City Court of Montgomery. who acted responsively to a petition by the Attor- ney General, who filed it at the in stance of the Commissioner of Insu- rance. The alleged insolvency of the company is the basis for the proceed ing.
 The heavy losses resultant from the great fire in San Francisco from wnlch the company is said to have vainly at' tempted to recover ars supposed to have enfected the present insolvency. It has reinsured it's risks in the Pruden- tial Insurance Company of West Vir- Einia which thus may become involved in the legal proceedings begun in Mont gomery.
 of three fire insurance companies in- corporated under the laws of Alabama the tlanta-Blrminghani is the only one that has done a general business outside the State. It had capital stock of S25O,O00 and though incorpo- rated in Alabama is domiciled in Att lanta where it has general officers. Ma tor J. T. Dargan and R. w. Pollard. or Atlanta, are it's president and secre- tarv.
  temporary receiver. will leave Mont gomery at 9 o'clock this morning for Atlanta where he will take possession of the company's properties.
 The proceedings against the compa- nv were subsequent upon an investi- gation of the company made by Deputy Commissioner A. c. Sexton. in October. He found that the company was tnsol~ vent. and after he had conferred with F. R McDavid secretary of State and ex- -officio commissioner of insurance, the latter decided that the company 8 further continuance in the insurance business was hazardous and dangerous to the interests of it's patrons. At his request Attorney General Massie Will son last night made petition to Judge Eayre that a temporary receiver be ap- pointed to assume charge of the com pany. The prayer of tlTe petition was granted and Deputy Commissioner Sex ton was named as temporary receiver, and immediately upon his arrival in Atlanta today he will officially take control.
 The Atlanta Birmingham Fire Insu- rance Company has capital of s25O,- 00O At the present time 1t has no in- surance in force. all of it's business having been reinsured by the Pruden- tial Insurance Company of West Ptr- ginia which the Alabama company is said to control through the ownership of majority of it's capital stock. It is therefore very probable that the West Virginia Company will become a party to the receivership proceedings.
 The Atlanta Birmingham incurred losses of $660,000 by the fire in San Francisco. It made an effort to recoup but apparently was unable to re-estab- fish itself upon a strong financial basis.

 Socialism.

Chicago. Dec. 4.-James M. Van Cleave of St. Louis. president of the National Association of Manufacturers delivered the principal address today before the convention of the Citizens Industrial Association.
 Mfr. Van Cleave condemned strongly men who oppressed their employees. de- claring such a man to be "A worse cit- izen than the demagogue. whom he assails." Continuing the speaker said: we see socialists, anarchists, and ex- tremists of all sorts springing up on all sides. It is we'll for us employers to question ourselves and learn whether we have had any part in the seneratio of implicables and destructionists.
 Tt is well to understand that some oS the captains of industry and tho heads of some of the great aggrega- tions of capital and some of the em- ployers of labor in general are in a measure responsible for these things. The outbreaks which occur in this country from time to time ran only be cured by the permanent 'emoval of the causes, which causes them"
