Agent Tyson Says Only
His Quake Concerns
Are Settling.
Denies the Distinction Of
Dollar and Six-Bit
Companies.
Declares That Much Of
the Criticism Is Not
Warranted.

OAKLAND June 25.-General Agent
George H. Tyson of the Phoenix of Hart
ford. the German-American of. New
York and the German Alliance insur-
ance companies, all of which have
policies containing the earthquake
clause" asserts that these firms are
adjusting and paying their San Fran
cisco and Santa Rosa fire losses on
practically the same plan that is being
followed by all the other companies
that are solvent, and that plan is the
one adopted at the recent meeting of
the American companies in New York.
The three companies mentioned are
thus far the only ones in the list of
fourteen earthquake" corporations
that have paid anything to their pol
icy-holders who sustained losses in the
April catastrophe.
Other companies the policies of which
contain the earthquake" clause and
which have not as yet begun to pay on
their San Francisco liabilities, if liabili
ties they may be legally termed. are the
Palatine, the Commercial Union and the
Alliance, all of London; the Commercial
Union of New York. Norwich Union,
Protector Underwriters of Hartford,
Williamsburgh City, Providence Wash
ington, Rhine-Moselle. North German
of Hamburg and Indemnity.
According to General Agent Tyson,
who- also represents the New Hampshire
Company, his companies have already
paid 500 claims. aggregating over half
a million dollars, and this has been on
basis of 100 cents on the dollar. Ty-
son believes that many of the reports
published relative to the insurance sit
uation and the condition of the COM
panies is misleading. and has so advised
the specially agents of his companies.
Said Tyson:
There are no 75-cent or 81 come
panies meeting was held some time
ago to discuss what is known as the
New York platform of adjustment
Some matters came UP as regards dis
counts If any. on doubtful claims
where earthquake damage entered. Into
the case but could not be proven. Some
seventy. companies thought a reason
able discount should be made and some
thirty odd companies thought each
case should be handled on its merits.
The latter was no doubt the correct
solution. The meeting was conf1den-
tial one, each company representative
being pledged not to disclose what
took place.
Some of the thirty odd companies
