Scheme Is Exposed by
Statements Filed by
Officers of Concern
LOCAL LOSERS MEET
COOL PROPOSITION

ITHE Milwaukee Mechanics In
surance Company has issued
a statement over the sigma
lures of it's president, William
L. Jones, and its directors that will
surprise and interest the fire losers
in this city who had policies issued by
the company. This statement shows
that the company has "s2,397,070.34
assets and net surplus of 1927, ,915.6S,
held by the company for the protection
of its present and future policy holders,
free and clear of all claims arising out
OF or caused by the California conf1a-
grafton"
The sum thus claimed as free and
clear" of California losses is s2,794,-
9S6.02. A friendly suit (by some re-
garded as a collusive action) has been
filed by an attorney of the Milwaukee
Mechanics Company and another law
yer, In which the court Is asked under
the Wisconsin law to set aside in round
numbers $500. 900 for the protection
of all prolicy holders of the company
outside of California and about the
same amount for the settlement Of
California losses. These two amounts
were supposed to represent the total
assets of the company.
If the statement that has just been
issued by the company be true. then
the company is holding back nearly
SO, 0o0,00 while proposing to settle In
San Francisco for $1,000, 900. Details
given by the officers of the company
show that of the total assets the sum
of S1,330,900 is in stocks and bonds; !;
$1,2eo,250 in loans on mortgages, $780,
900 in loans on collaterals. 1872, ,061.26
in cash and 1858, ,S43.S0 in premiums IN
course of collection. The paid up cap
ital is $780, 900. The real estate owned
is appraised at S121.500
That these figures call for an inves-
tigatton and that the policy-holders
were warranted In asking the United
States court at Milwaukee to deny a
decree setting aside for San Francisco
but 1900, 900 is evident
The Milwaukee company has report
ed to the Insurance Commissioner at
New York that it's gross losses In San
Francisco were s2,647,974 and it's net
losses s1,362.117. 1t has also reported
to the same official that it has due from
other companies from reinsurance ST.
2s5,S57. The sum set apart for the set
tlement of San Francisco losses, eX-
actly stated. is $1.436.01S.97.
Not a dollar of the companys losses
in San francisco has been paid. The
suit has tied up all the assets.
The company has appointed Attor-
neys T. C. Coogan, Goodfellow and Eels
to meet and confer with the California
policy holders. A preliminary confer
ence between Putnam and the Milwau-
kee Mechanics lawyers took place at
Oakland yesterday.
1t is probable that a representative
of the San Francisco losers will have
to go to Milwaukee to present the facts
and to make the claims of the San
Francisco people clear to Circuit Judge
Seaman, who has delayed action to give
the policy-holders a chance to make
known their objections to decree
placing all but s1,500.000 of the COM
pany's assets beyond the reach Of San
Francisco losers.

BIG FIGHT THREATENED.
Interests May Combine IL Rhine and
Moselie Refuses Payment.

Unless the answer that the Rhine
and Moselle Insurance Company has
promised to file tomorrow in response
to questions asked by policy holders is
satisfactory there is a chance that a
big fight will be waged against the
company by large interests in this
city. Included in the list of those
who may cooperate to secure fair
treatment are the Pacific Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company.
which has a loss written by the
company amounting to more than $780,
900, and E. ]. lie Breton, W. j. Herrin,
Lewis Bartlett and J. V. de Laveaga,
representing claims amounting to more
than 100000 jointly. This makes
100000 insurance at least to back the
fight that may be necessary.
The Rhine and Moselle Company has
losses in San Francisco amounting to
S4,s00.0 900. 1t has not yet made any pay
ments to San Francisco policy holders,

N attachment for 100000 was
~ placed on the assets of the
~ Transatlantic Insurance Com
pany at New York yesterday.
Up to date tangible assets of the COM
pany have been attached in the inter
est Of San Francisco policy-holders to
the amount of 100000. OF this
s585.000 is deposited with the State Su-
perintendent of Insurance Of New York
trustees in New York. The attachment
yesterday allowed service on both the
Sheriff of New York, who will attach
the property in New York. and also on
the Sheriff of Albany County, who will
levy on property in the custody of the
State Superintendent of Insurance
A corporation is about to be formed
by several attorneys of this city to fight
the Transatlantic Insurance Company Of
Hamburg both In the United States and
in the German courts. They say they
have sufficient money to carry on the
work and will not ask the policy-hold-
ers to part with cent until their
claims have been paid in full.
More than one hundred policy-holders
of the Transatlantic Company gathered
yesterday afternoon at the headquarters
of the Organized Policy Holders at 811
Turk street. The proposed plan of ac-
tion was outlined to them by several
speakers.
Attorneys Boynton, Peck and Solin-
sky, who are behind the movement to
fight the company, say they have suffi-
cient capital pledged to carry their
cases through the courts of this country
and Germany.
The policy holders announced that
they did not intend to advance any
funds to further the scheme, and Peck
informed them that 1t would not be
necessary. He said the money was IN
sight and that the policy-holders would
not be called upon to tighten their
pocketbooks until such time as the suits
have been won and the money collected
In Germany.
Another meeting of the policy-holders
will be held on tomorrow afternoon at
2:30 O'Clock. 1t Is expected that the
first suits will be filed within the next
few weeks.
The policy-holders of the Calumet In
surance Company will meet next
Thusday afternoon at S11 Turk street
to agree upon some plan Of action. This
company has left the State without set
Ting a single loss. 1t Is known to be
a rich corporation and the policy-hold-
ers have been advised to take legal
steps to collect the money due them.

~ EXEMPTION from the payment Of
T. all its San Francisco insurance
policies on two grounds is
claimed by the Williamsburgh
City Fire Insurance Company. 1t sets
up in an answer fled yesterday the
first defense made in the Superior
Courts that the earthquake of April 1S
was responsible for the fires through
the breaking of electrical wires. 1t
alleges again that San Francisco at
the time was provided with a we'll
equipped Fire Department and that but
for the breaking Of the water mains
also due to the earthquake, these fires
might readily have been extinguished
with comparatively little loss.
The company therefore contends
that the earthquake is the indirect, II
loss of property, even where the earth
quake itself did no damage. and that
even in cases whore the fire was sew
eral days in reaching the insured prop
erty no recovery can be had.
The answer was fled yesterday In
the case OF Rosenthars. incorporated.
against the Williamsburgh. After
setting forth the facts and setting UP
it's defense the company asks that the
case be dismissed and that plaintiff be
entitled to no recovery. Although this
suit with others might have been
transferred to the Federal courts 1t
seems to be the desire of Van Ness &
Denman, attorneys for the insurance
company, to bring the question of re-
sponsibility under this oft-mooted
clause fairly and sQuarely before the
Judge who may try the suit.
The RosenIIal suit was filed July S.
The complaint recites that on April 10
$4,000 policy was taken out to cover
a stock of boots and shoes at 107-115
Kearny street. 1t is alleged in the
suit filed that the loss was by fire
direct, and not by earthquake. The
total loss was s221.451.S2.
In its answer the Williamsburgh
Company says: In and by the policy
of intxlrance in this action sued upon
1t was provided by and between the
insured under the policy sued upon and
the defendant, and it was stipulated
and agreed that defendant company
should not be held liable for loss
caused by earthquake"
The answer then recites that on
April Is San Francisco was visited
by an earthquake that caused the
breaking OF electric wires by means
Of which flames were communicated to
number of buildings, and that these
fires spread to other buildings. The
destruction of the water pipes is also
set forth, with the statement that but
for this the fires might have been ex-
tinRuished.

JURY LOOKS FOR c CoNspIRACY.
Inquisitorial Body Gives Reason for
Insurance Investigation.


Criminal conspiracy on the part of
certain insurance companies by which
they hope to avoid responsibility to the
insured of San Francisco is the charge
being examined into by the Grand Jury
In it's present investigation of agents
and attorneys for a number of the
companies. For the first time since sle
investigation took tangible form 1t has
been admitted officially that the grand
jurors are seeking testimony on which
indictments charging criminal conspir-
acy may be returned.
The admission appears in the papers
that were filed yesterday with the
County Clerk by which Charles Hendry
of the London and Lancashire Company
is formally ordered to appear before
Judge Graham at 1870 o'clock Monday
afternoon for the purpose of showing
cause why he should not answer certain
questions or be punished for contempt.
The return on the subpoena reads:
Subpoena was served upon Charles
Hendry, directing him to appear before
the said Grand Jury at it's jury room
the tenth day Of August to testify in an
investigation of charge of criminal
conspiracy then pending"

AIDING FIREMAN's FUND.
Policy-Hoiders' League Considering
Plan for Benefit of All Concerned.

THE Policy Holders League has
agreed to cooperate with the officers
of the Fireman's Fund Insurance Com
pany In the formulation of a plan of re-
lief acceptable to the San Francisco
policy-holders. This is the statement
of F. w. Dohrmann for the league. The
officers of the Fireman's Fund have had
several conferences with the trustees Of
the Policy Holders League. Exclusive
information of the plan in view was
published in The Call some days ago. In

urged to wait the result of these negoti-
ations before taking any action that
will precipitate complications to the in
jury of all concerned.
