INSURANCE COMPANY BRINGS SUIT

The trial of a suit in which the
Phenix insurance company of Brook
lyn is seeking to recover from Henry
J. Wicker and Herman Hermansen
$3,750 claimed to have been paid be-
cause of misrepresentation as to the
cause of damage, was begun before a
jury in Judge Sturtevant's court yes
terday. Wicker and Hermansen were
the proprietors of the Good Fellows
grotto, on City Hall square. After the
fire of April, 1906, they received from
the Phenfx insurance company s3,750,
representing a compromise at the rate
of 10 cents on the dollar on a policy
on the contents of the grotto.
The company asserts that Wicker
and Hermansen represented that the
place was not damaged by the earth
quake and that all the loss was oc-
casioned by fire. subsequently, the
company pleads, it was ascertained this
was not so and that the earthquake
was the cause of the damage. AS the
policy contained an earthquake immun-
ity clause it is contended the insured
were not entitled to receive anything.
