DELEGATES OF SUNDAY
SCHOOL TO MEET HERE
Big International Convention
to Be Held in San Fran
cisco in 1911

Largely through the efforts of the
California Promotion committee, which
backed up with strong arguments the
efforts of delegates from this city, San
Francisco has secured the convention
of the International Sunday School as
sooiation for 1911. The association is
one of the largest and most influential
religious organizations of it's kind in
the world, and it's annual conventions
are attended by thousands of delegates
from all parts of the United States,
Canada, Europe and even the orient.
K. K. Warren, vice chairman of the
association, is at the Fairmont hotel
making preliminary arrangements for
the convention. Among the noted men
who will probably attend are John
Wanamaker and ]. B. Williams. Ac-
ccording to Warren the convention
would have gone to New Orleans or
Louisville, which made strong bids, but
for the hearty cooperation of dele
gates from both San Francisco and
Los Angeles aided by the Promotion
committee and the transcontinental
railroads.

ACCUSE INSURANCE
COMPANY OF FRAUD
American Company of Philadel=
phia Sued for S2l2,305, Bal
ance Due Policy Holders

A blanket suit on SIS policies for sums
aggregating S212.3O5.15 was filed yes
terday against the American fire in
surance company of Philadelphia by the
Policy Holders adjustment company.
In connection with the suit accusa-
tions are made of fraud on the part of
the company, in that it falsely repre-
sented it was insolvent and could not
pay more than so per cent of claims
upon it after the fire of April, 1906.
Upon those representations the policy
holders who are now suing accepted so
per cent in settlement, but it is
claimed that both prior and subse-
quent TO the acceptance of the settle
ment other policy holders were paid in
excess of so per cent. The representa-
tions Of the company that it was in
solvent that it intended to wind up
its affairs and go out of business, and
that it could not and would not pay
more than a half of the amount of
policy holders claims are declared TO be
false and fraudulent.
The complaint was drawn by
Thomas, Gerstle, Frick & Beedy.
Beedy stated last night that he ex-
pected the policy holders would re-
cover 100 cents on the dollar, or very
nearly that upon their claims. There
is now pending in the federal courts
tract between the Commercial Union
fire insurance company and the Ameri-
can fire insurance company of Phila-
delphia," he said. We claim that large
fraudulent commissions were paid the
Commercial, and if we can have the
contract set aside and the money paid
back into the treasury of the American
there will be a large sum for the policy
holders"
The largest claimants, with the
amounts for which they were insured
(half Of which they have received), are
al follows: Sanborn, Vail & Co. S9,50O;
Goodyear rubber company. $4,000; w.

discreet little smile, pointed the way to
the costume room, where several dozen
