of the island where the rain is not as
frequent as here in the city. There is
no place in the country as we'll arrang-

this, no place where their comfort is as
much considered as here. We would

FRISCO COMMITTEES SUCCESS.
Most German Companies to Make Payment
on Earthquake and Fire Losses

Berlin, Jan. H.-The members OF the COMMITTEES
that came from San Francisco to secure the pay
ment of insurance on losses sustained in the earth
quake. having in the main accomplished the pur-
pose of their visit. about to leave here for
England. The most difficult thing this committee
had 20 do was to arrange a compromise with the
Phoenix. Of Vienna, and the Transatlantic, Of
Hamburg. both companies having insured without
earthquake clause. II is understood that the
Phoenix agreed to settle it's policies far from
their face value. and that the Transatlantic has
agreed to a basis of settlement at consi ierably
lower rate than the Austrian company.
After a Hamburg court decided test case
against the North German Fire Insurance Com
pany. the committee offered compromise at higher
terms than this company was willing TO pay. and
n result further litigation will be necessary.
The Rhine & MOselle Company of Strasburg,
which operated with a strong earthquake clause. is
forthcoming trial the broad question will come
up as TO whether or not the earthquake at San
Francisco caused the fire.
The other German companies have agreed 10
settlements satisfactory to the committee.
