ON VERGEOF COLLAPSE
1t is Predicted That Many Big Fire
Insurance Companies Will be Com
PEELED to Close Down Because Of
Frisco Disaster-Des Moines Inter.
ested.

Special to Tlmes-Republican.
Des Moines, July 19--Altho no def
mite information as to the condition of
the concerns is being given out, 1t Is
predicted that great many of the
big fire insurance companies here and
elsewhere will be going out of business
within a short time. Des Moines Is
carrying about $40, 600. 900 worth Of in
surance, according to the statements
of the best posted agents, fully one
half of which Is being carried by COM
panies that are very seriously embar
raised by the California disasters. and
il a fire should occur not more than
e-half of a general average of so
Per cent of the companies could pay
out. OF this $30,O0o.oOO insurance
about two-thirds is on the property
in the business district and the other
third on residence property. The bus
mess section of Des Moines has always
been rated as specially hazardous by
Insurance companies, for there are
few fire proof buildings. For that
reason higher premiums are required
The city is paying out annually about
100000 to the insurance companies.
While the agencies us a rule are
watching the insurance situation
closely the business men as a class are
not so much interested, apparently. But
it is even harder for the agencies to
secure accurate information as to the
condition Of the companies they are
if,- for. ha that the
panies are not giving out anything re-
garding their conditions.
The enormous losses at San Francis
co are putting a great many of the
companies on the verge of collapse, all
tho they are struggling along and max
ing efforts to reinsure or tide over the
trying period. In New York City and
in Chicago, where the agents are in
close touch with the mana gements,
there seems to be more uneasinesi
than out in this section where gem
eral confidence is placed in the com-
panies, and but little of the real sit
uation is known. And what seems
worse, it is next to impossible to OBJ
tain definite knowledge of the real Sit
uation for the companies in many in
stances are guarding against public
ity.
The state auditor of the state of In
diana has taken a step which insur-
ance men and business men carrying
heavy insurance are commencing gem
orally. He is not compelling the in
surance companies to submit state
ments to him of their condition at this
time. So far as is known, he is the
only state official of any of the states
who is making this requirement. The
insurance companies doing business in
Iowa make an annual statement and
that is the only one which is made.

Perkins Claims Not Borne Out BY
Monona Delegation.
Orawa, Ia, July 19.-There seems to
be great hue and cry from the stand
pat press In an effort to make it ap-
pear that the farmers are on the other
side of the state governorship fight
from Governor Cummins. If the per-
sonnet of the Monona county delega-
ton of the state convention is any in
dication, then it sis evident that Per-
kins has few farmers among his dele
gates. There is not single farmer
on the delegation, and, furthermore,
the county boss would not let them
go, because. as he said, they were "urs-
safe" However, it is said, that the
delegation, which is composed wholly
of lawyers and politicians, is safe
for anything that the railroads may
spring to defeat the will of the repub-
licans of the state. Following is a list
Of the delegates and their respective
vocations: C. B. Ellis. officeholder and
