COMPANY REFUSES
 TO PAY ANY CLAIMS
WILLIAMSBURG FIRE INSERTED EARTHQUAKE CLAUSE TWO YEARS AGO AND WILL STAND BY ITS PROVISIONS.

New York, July s.-The position of the Williamsburg Fire Insurance company with reference to claims growing out of the San Francisco disaster, was out lined by Preident Driggs of the com pany MT. Driggs statement was called forth by the announcement from San Francisco that polieyholders in that city had organized as a corporation to sue his company for their recent losses, the company having declined to pay on the ground that 1t had a clause excepting 1t from earthquake liability The San Fran cisco policyholders claim that this clause was added only a couple of years ago, and without their knowledge.
 Ut is true that the earthquake clause was added only two years ago." said MT. Driggs. and that some of the policy holders. may not have noticed 1t, but if they did not read their policies, that is not our fault I have as much sympathy with the San Francisco sufferers as any body. I gave my personal check to help in their relief, but I am not justified In paying out corporation money for which I am legally liable"
 Mr. Driggs said that the company is paying considerable number of San Francisco claims, but these these pay ments are on five year or other long time policies that had been issued pre- vious to the time that 1t was decided to introduce the earthquake clause.
 "Of course the ground will be taken that the earthquake clause does not ap- ply because 1t was not earthquake but fire that caused the damage" he said We are advised by our counsel, how ever, that as long as the earthquake was the primary cause we are not liable"
