The Atlanta Birmingham Fire In

hundred policy-holders in this city are
financially interested. has made deal
by which it's entire outstanding La
bility, except that involved in San
Francisco losses. has been reinsured by
the Prudential Fire Insurance Com
pany of Virginia.
In addition to this move, the home
offices of the Atlanta Birmingham Com
pany have been transferred TO Taze-
WELL Va, from Georgia The presi-
edent of the Atlanta Birmingham Com
pany, j. T. Dargan, and the secretary,
Robert n. Hughes, have been elected to
the same offices in the Prudential Com
pany.
This move has caused no little won
der among the policy-holders of the
Atlanta Birmingham Company in San
Francisco. A vague announcement has
been made that the Prudential will be
managed in Virginia and also in West
Virginia by practically the same office
and field force as that controlling the
Atlanta Birmingham. although the two
organizations will be entirely distinct.
The Atlanta Birmingham will con-
tinue in business without interruption,

until the business in San Francisco is
all cleared up. The Prudential Will en-

The directors of the North German
policy holders corporation plan to
bring suit in the California State
courts against the Hamburg company.
They will merely show that there was
a loss under the policies and aIlege that
the North German is liable. The North
German will Of course deny it's liability
because of the existence Of the EARTH
quake clause in its policies. The case
will probably be transferred imme-
diately to the Federal courts. for the
insurance companies have an aversion
TO pleading before the State courts.
The legal fight will be on the interpre-
tation of the earthquake clause.
1t Is possible. however. that the or
ganiZed policy-holders may be able to
make a settlement without dragging
the case through the courts. The North
German Is solvent and can afford to pay
it's losses. Because OF the unanimity
Of opinion among the attorneys that
the earthquake clause in the policies
will not hold good in the courts 1t may
be persuaded to settle. Thus far it has
not paid single loss.
Under the articles Of incorporation

wide powers. II has the power TO pur-
chase policies or acquire them In any
other legal way. IL can sue for the

STORMY SCENE IN DoUMA.
Breach Widens Between Group of Toll
and Democrats.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 5.-There
was a stormy scene at the opening or
the lower house of Parliament today,
which further emphasized the split
between the Constitutional Democrats
and their Radical allies and the Group
of Toll.
Sidelnikoff, a Radical Cossack mem
Der of the House, was beaten while in
the hands of the police last night,
after having been arrested for exhort-
ing a crowd of people to resist the po-
lice, who were breaking up one OF the
mass meetings which are becoming
more frequent. When Sidelnikoff was
searched at police headquarters a re-
yolver was found. He was released
later in the evening.
When the House opened today Sidel-
nikoff gave his version of the affair
and proposed that the House interpret
late the Minister of the Interior, ask
ing him what measures had been taken
to punish the policemen who were
guilty of assaulting a member or Par-
lament and to prevent a recurrence
of such Incidents in the future.
Alladin, the fiery Danton of the
House, then made a wild harangue In
denunciation of the Government for
permitting such violations of the in
volatility of the persons of the mem
bers He declared that he expressed
the views of the Group of Toll when
he announced that if such an incident
recurred no Minister would be permit
ted to speak in the House and he could
not even answer for their personal
safety.
The statements of Alladin became so
violent that President Mouromtseff re-
peatedly called him to order and the
speaker finally was forced, amid wild
stumult. to leave the tribune.
fA1u ~ ho
pened to be present in connection with
the Bialystok affair, boldly ascended
the tribune and explained, amid con-
stant interruption from the Left, that
the Chief of Police had telephoned him
last night regarding the incident, but
his account differed SO widely from
that given by Sidelnikof that he must
have further time for investigation.
The Minister, however. gave the House
his personal assurances that ample
measures would be taken to assure the
inviolability of members, and If the
police were guilty in this case they
would be punished
The statement of Stolypin was
greeted with cries from the Left of
Resign and take the Chief of Police
with you" which finally compelled the
Minister to cease speaking. In spite
of this, Stolypin's frank manner for
the first time provoked counter
demonstration in favor of the Govern
ment. After saying quietly, when the
tumult ceased, that it was useless to
proceed while the passions of the
members were so high, the Minister
left the tribune.
President Mouromtseff then admins
tered a severe rebuke to the members
of the Left for having lowered the dig
nifty of the House by such demonstra-
ton His reproof was vigorously an

The policy holders of the Rhine and
Moselle Fire Insurance Company OF
Hamburg, Germany, corporation
which, without denying its liability,
has refused to pay any losses because
of the existence of the earthquake
clause in its policies, met yesterday af-
ternoon and formed a temporary sor-
ganization. They appointed com
mittee to call upon the representatives
of the Rhine and Moselle in this city
and obtain from them an authoritative
statement of the position of the insur-
ance company regarding it's losses.
They named William J. Herrin as their
chairman. They will meet in a few
DAYS TO receive the report OF the COM
mittee The tone of this report Will
determine their future actions.
The policy-holders at this meeting
each declared the agents of the Rhine
and Moselle had never made point
blank denial of the company's liability
for their losses, but had merely said.
I'VE stand on the protective edrtn-
quake clause" In the meantime the
company is writing no more business
in this State and its representatives are
saying that it intends Withdrawing
from California as soon as it deter
mines it's course regarding its losses.
The Rhine and Moselle does not
know what II will do. Two special
representatives have been sent out
from the home office to look over the
San Francisco situation. These two
men will determine the amount of
earthquake damage and submit a re-
port Upon this report will probably
depend the final stand of the company.
The present representatives expect the
arrivals of the German experts within
a few weeks. They urge the assured
to await this report before taking ac-
tion in the courts.
Yesterdays organization OF the
policy holders was not permanent
one 1t will probably take the form
of the Traders Policy Holders Com
pany. a corporation with powers to col
Iect policies and sue for collection.
The assured, however, have decided to
await the arrival of the German repre-
sentatives before final organization is
accomplished.

ANXIOUS TO BE SUED.
German Companies Want ReInsurance

German Companies want heAnSurunO8
Question Settled by Courts.
Attorney William j. Herrin declared
in an address to gathering of policy
holders yesterday afternoon that the
German insurance companies desired
TO be sued by the poliey-hOlders- They
do not know at the present time
whether they will be able to collect
one cent of their vast amount of re-
insurance. Most of this reinsurance Is
placed with German and Austrian re-
insurance companies and many of these
have refused to pay fire losses because
Of the primary earthquake clause. The
German insurance companies. says At
torney Herrin, desire to be sued In
the courts of America because they be-
lieve that in case of Judgment against
them they can present the opinion OF
the court as evidence to the German
and Austrian Government insurance
officials, who will, they believe, decide
that the reinsurance companies in turn
must pay over the amount due to the
line companies
This. statement presents an entirely
new feature to the insurance situation
in this city and may explain the ap-
parently stubborn 'non-liability" stand
of certain of these German companies.
II may also aid the policy holder in
securing his money 1t will save the
hold that the assured are entitled to
recover-frOm possible failure and
withdrawal from the California field.
Il have talked with the agents OF
several of these German earthquake
clause companies" said Attorney Her
rim to a group of policy-holders yester-
day afternoon These agents have not
dared say so in so many words, but
they have given me to understand that
some of the German companies Will
gladly welcome a suit which has the
validity of the earthquake clause as
the contention point. They inform me
that with a decision against each OF
them they can get their reinsurance
money. Then. they say. they will glad
ly pay their losses here, dollar for dol
