Say the Plea, Act
Of Cod" VIII
Not Stand.
GET TOGETHER TODAY

THE organized policy holders of
the Transatlantic Fire Insurance
Company Of Hamburg are pre-
pairing to send their attorneys to
Germany to demand in foreign courts
the payment OF the s5,O0O,OoO the Teu-
tonic corporation owes them for their
April losses. They are incensed at tho
act Of God" plea that the directors or
the Transatlantic have put forward as
absolving them from liability on their
San Francisco policies. They declare
that the German company waited long
trying 10 find some excuse to avoid
payment, and, not having the famous
earthquake clause TO fall back upon
Snally discovered the act Of Cod pro-
Viso in small print on the back OF the
policies
The policy-holders feel sure that the
excuse put forward by the TTansatlan-
tic TO avoid payment viii not stand hre
in German or any other court Ihey
have a mass OF evidence TO snow that
the conha grafton was caused in most
cases by natural reasons. Many OF
them believe that il viii be cheaper TO
begin proceedings at once in the courts
al Hamburg than TO take hrst steps
through the United States or California
courts. They are ready 10 appeal TO
lnt Insurance. deAlSA NliLSlle % -
man Government TO assist them IN Sc
curing from the Transatlantic the
$4,000, 600 which they claim it justly
owes them.
The policy-holders will meet together
in Judge Kerrigan's courtroom Call
fornia and Webster streets, at O'Clock
this afternoon. They viii go over the
whole situation carefully with the at
torneys, who have already formed
definite plan Of action A final de
cision will then be made by vote OF
the policy holders and the active steps
toward a suit in the German courts
will be begun. II is probable that
letter viii be sent to the directors OF
the Transatlantic in answer 10 the
message sent out by the home office
denying liability for its losses.

ward the San Francisco policy holders
point out the great significance of the
present discovery.
Forty-seven New York State COM
panies that were interested in risks in
san Francisco In the burned portion of
this city claim that s10,S34,000 is due
them for reinsurance. Eighty-four Of
the hre insurance companies in Amer
lea that are losers by San Francisco's
IRE nave reported that they have re-
insurance due to them from other COM
pan1es amounting to s22,130,000.
Thirty-two foreign insurance conf
panies have filed figures showing that
they have $32,2S1, 900 due them. Alto
gether. the figures show that s65, ,000,-
600 OF reinsurance is claimed as against
the gross amount of insurance carried
IT San Francisco by all these compa.
MES, which was s222,000,000 in round
hgures. More than one-fourth OF the
entire insurance due thus rests for pay
ment on expected reinsurance money
from a multitude of companies.
The San Francisco call., 1906-08-03
ANOTHER SCHEME TO DEFRAUp.

In view OF the facts in the case and
the discoveries that have been made
since some statistics were submitted, 1t
is not improbable that some of the let
ters about reinsurance have been writ
ten for the purpose of giving welching
direct insurance companies chances to
set up the plea that they were unable
to get their reinsurance money, and
also to enable them to reserve the re-
insurance to themselves, to be collected
for the benefit of stockholders after the
and have signed off their claims.
The fact that sixty-f1ve reinsurance
companies that are not authorized to
do business in California are looked to
by the direct insurers for reinsurance
money amounting to millions of dol
lars has been made clear by some sta
tistics recently reported by the Insur-
ance Department of the State of New
York.
For the s65,o0o,000 in reinsurance
there are 1853 companies. There are but
11S fire insurance companies authorized
to do business in California. The diff
ference between lis and 163 companies
IS As. The enumeration by the New
York Insurance Department does not
take in the twenty or more German
reinsurance companies that recently
United In a threat against direct In
surers that should venture to disregard
earthquake clauses in settling with
policy holders.

Welching insurance companies arc
hiding behind the claim that they can
not get their reinsurance money from
the reiiisurers, and that, therefore, they
are unable to pay claims in full in San
Francisco, and that the lack of reinsur-
ance money warrants them in scaling
policies down largely in making set
Elements. Square companies are max
ing less pretense about the failure of
reinsurance to materialize. The fact
is, however. that the direct insurers
do not know how much reinsurance
money they will get, and the feature Of
reinsurance is a sham plea to some
extent
The Supreme Courts of several
American States have held that the In
sured has no claim upon the reinsur-
ance money. Statutes to that effect
are found In the law books of Califor-
MIA and some other States. The insur-
ing companies alone have a claim to
tho reinsurance. To get their money
they may have to sue the reinsurers.
Until the end of test suit not one
of the direct insurers can tell what
amount of reinsurance money II. can
get. No suits are reported to have
been instituted by any direct insurer
against any reinsuring company on ac-
count of the San Francisco fire. No at
tempt has been made to collect any re-
insurance by process or law, in other
words.
Letters in which liability is denied
for reinsurance on account Of earth
quake clauses or for any other alleged
reason have been published in the San
Francisco newspapers. Their effect has
been to make certain persons accept
less money in settlement of their pol
icies of insurance than they might 9TH
erwise have taken.
