Nearly a hundred policy holders of
the German of Freepert Fire Insurance

holders are given equal treatment by
the insurance company. A large number
of the policy -holdres of the German of
Freeport and of other German com
paniss signified their intention of
entering into such an agreement.
According to the statements of the
policy holders. made in the meeting yes
terday, the German of Freeport has not
refused TO pay the full amounts of the
policies but has adopted dilatory
methods of settling up. In few cases
the policy holders were offered a shaved
settlement for cash. The helders be-
lieve that by organization they can

TOO SUDDEN
ASSERTS BRYAN
Democratic Leader Not
Ready to Talk of
Nomination.
Scores Practices of the
Trusts in United
States.

BERLIN, June 11.-"Thls is too sud
den," said William ]. Bryan with a
laugh, when he was told today of the
adoption by recent State Democratic
conventions of resolutions favoring his
nomination for the Presidency of the
United States in 1908.
This is the first announcement of
the news to me-" Mr.. Bryan continued.
II have been off the main caravan route
for some time and have been absorbed
in what 1 have been seeing and doing
Mr.. Bryan had been moving so rap
idly since he left Vienna on Friday that
letters and kilograms for him did not
reach him until today AS to the psl- :
sibility of his nomination he had little
to say, declaring it is too early to speak
of that question. but taking UP the SUBJ
ject of the political requirements of the
day, he said:
Before leaving home I tried to dis
tinguish between Democracy and what
can properly be called Socialism De-
mocracy recognizes competition as le-
gitimate and tries to protect the com
petitive principle from attack Social
ism sees competition as an evil to be
eliminated by public ownership and
operation of all means of production
and distribution. While this distinction
between Democracy and Socialism can
not be overlooked, the Democratic plat
form must be one Of progress and re-
form and not merely of opposition to
Republican policies or Socialistic ideas.
In our fight for the absolute elimi-
nation of private monopolies and for
the regulation of corporations in gem
eral il is necessary that the party shall
be free from any suspicion of alliance
with the corporate interests that have
been dominating American politics Te
this end campaign contributions must
be limited TO these who have the public
interest to advance.
II trust that public sentiment will re-
quire all parties to keep their books
open so that hereafter no party will be
under private obligations TO shield cor
porate offenders"
Abiding to conditions in the meat in
dustry, Mr.. Bryan said:
The beef trust is not different in
character and methods from other
trusts. The inevitable tendency of a
private monopoly is to increase the
quality. Why should any one expect
anything else from trust than the
lowering of quality when a monopoly is
established? Observe l have used the
words private monopoly, not public. In
a private monopoly a private interest
is set up against those of the whole
people. Quite q different principle
comes INTO operation when the interest
of all is alone in view"
Herman Ridder of the New York
Stats Zeitung and Mr.. Bryan had a
long talk today on the political situa-
ton in the United States. Mr.. Bryan
will leave here for st. Petersburg to-
morrow. and from there will visit Swe-
den and Norway. He will arrive in
England early in July and will then
visit France. Italy and Switzerland He
expects to sail on the steamship Prin-
cess Irene from Gibraltar on August 20
and to arrive in New York on August
2s.

CoNcERrRD MOVEMENT FOR A CUT
Several Insurance Companies Set Afoot
New Scheme of Evasion.

Several Insurance Companies Set Afoot
New Scheme of Evasion.
A well defined movement has been
begun by certain insurance agents,
among them representatives Of several
large companies, to bring about an
agreement between all of the insurance
companies with risks in San Francisco
and the insured who have loss claims
whereby an immediate cash settlement
for 75 per cent Of the claim basis can
be made This plan means a % per
cent horizontal cut on the face values
of all policies and in return for this
sacrifice an immediate cash payment,
without waste Of time in litigation and
investigator Of proofs Of loss.
The proponents of this scheme have
been working quietly for the past week.
1t is said that seventy of the companies
have been brought into line, along
with large number of policy holders
The argument used to the insurance
companies is settlement without liti-
gatien and to the insured ready money
with which to begin rebuilding at
once.
An obstacle has been met with, how
ever Some of the largest insurance
companies declare they will not accede
to the plan. They say that settlement
upon such a basis will be of serious in
jury to their business of future years,
an unerasible black spot upon their
financial characters. Many of the heav-
lily insured merchants say that while
they are anxious to get their insur-
ance money without delay. they are far
from willing to accept such a cut as
20 per cent. They would rather wait.
they say, and suffer temporarily, than
lese such percentage of their in
surance money.
IN the face of these objections, it
seems likely that the movement will
die before il is publicly launched A
man well acquainted with the insurance
problem said last night that in his
opinion the smaller companies win all
fall into line, but that those companies
whose financial foundation has not been
wrecked Will steer clear of such an
agreement for fear that they will never
be able to do business in the West after
such a settlement is made.
The proponents of the IS per cent
cash payment scheme have stated that
unless all OF the companies will enter
into an agreement they will not at
tempt the percentage settlement.
