TIME NOT EXTENDED
Suit Against North German
Must Be Commenced

TIME NOT EXTENDED

Details were arranged at meeting
OF attorneys yesterday afternoon for
the benefit Of claimants in this city to
whom sT,000.0o0 is due from German
and Austrian fire insurance COM
panies, and who are yet unrepresented
by counsel. The total fire losses in
San Francisco for which the German
and Austrian companies are responsible
amount to $4,000, 900. Only about half
the claimants have taken the neces-
sary steps to recover.
F. w. Dohrmann of the San Fran
cisco committee which went to Ham
burg and Austria to see what could be
done for the benefit of San Francisco
policy holders said last evening:
William Thomas, of Thomas &
Gerstle. has been authorized to take
up the work at this end for the policy
holders of the North German In5ur-
ance Company of Hamburg, and he
will be ready to see policy holders of
that company next Tuesday morning.
He will give information regarding
all that Is necessary to be done to have
claims included in suits to be begun
in Germany against the North German
OF Hamburg. The matter is pressing
as there is no extension of time re-
garding the beginning of legal pro-
ceedings. The suits must be begun in
Germany before April 1S. This means
that all the papers must be prepared
here and mailed early in March.
"An extension of time has been Sc
cured from the Rhine and Moselle In
surance Company. The terms will be
announced one week from next Mon
day. Suits against the Rhine and
Moselle can be brought in San Fran
cisco. The committee is not ready tc
announce who will look after the Rhine
and Moselle matters.
"A compromise has been reached with
the Austrian Phoenix Insurance Com
pany. Oscar Sutro, in the Kohl build
ing, will be ready to take signatures ot
interested persons to the agreement
toward the end of the week.
THE Transatlantic Insurance Com
pany matters will be handled by L. A
