laws. The firm has a practical monopoly
Of the large trade in leaf tobacco with
Italian cigarmakers from San Francisco to

Two charges are mad against the three
men. One is violation of the internal
revenue laws in failing to enter all sales of
leaf tobacco in books to be inspected by
the revenue agents. The other is Grim
inal conspiracy with Frank G. Tripari Of
Tripari Bros, l7e Mott street, the largest
Italian cigarmaking firm in town. to with
hold the entries on large quantities of leaf
tobacco sold to the firm, in order that it
could make cigars from this tobacco un-
detected by the revenue agents.
The charges which resulted in the three
arrests yesterday were made originally

sible to detect the sale OF co ntraban cigars
when the Tobacco is not registered in the
books open for inspection by the internal
revenue men.
On investigation eyenu agents found,

CRISIS IN INSURANCE MIDDLE.
Some Companies Seek to Evade Proved
San Francisco Losses.

San Francisco, June l3.-The fire in
surance situation has reached a critical
point. Sixty companies have voted,
through their managers, to make q horizontal
cut OF rs per cent. on all adjusted losses.
Thirty other companies refused fatty to
abide by this vote, Ten companies were
not represented at the meeting Of the adj
justing bureau, while nearly twenty COM
panies were excused from going on record
at this time as to their attitude toward the
payment Of policies,
While the vote taken is not binding upon
any Of the companies, 1t places on record
more than one-half Of the corporations
carrying Are risks In San Francisco, as
In favor of a slash In the adjusted losses.
A report reached the city that a New
York syndicate Is financing some Of the
larger companies for the purpose Of pay
ing their Losses In full, driving the small
companies out of the field and running
a corner on insurance stocks.
The adjustment OF the losses Of some
OF the larger mercantile houses develops
the fact that more than sixty companies
not qualified to do business In California
and whose names are not in the published
list, were carrying insurance in the burned
district. This will add greatly to the losses
of the insured.
