AGENTS OFFERING
INSURANCE RELIEF
Refusal of Renewals Proves
Not to Be Concerted
Acation.

Ell Paso is not to be deprived OF all
insurance protection by reason or the
orders received Monday by majority
of the local agents instruct1ng them 10
refuse to make renewals on policies eN-
piring on or after July IL, when the
reduced rates promulgated by the state
fire rating board went into effect. A
few of the local agents have received
the amendments from their general
agents without the instructions
as to the refusal of new business IN
til such instructions are received by the
Ell Paso agents, they will continue 10
accept business from persons having
policies expiring after last Monday
Few Agents VIII Benefit.
This will throw practically all OF the
new business TO these few agents VINO
have not been instructed to refuse re-
newals. as the instructed agents Will not
dare write any new business in the race
of the instructions received. At least
three Of the local insurance agencies
have companies in which the renewals
may be written in and they state that
they will continue to accept all new bus
mess until they are instructed by their
companies not to accept any IuTthef
business under the reduced rates.
Action Not Concerted.
When the instructions were received
Monday it was thought the action OF the
agents to refuse to renew policies, was
a concerted one and it would be tmpos-
sible for merchants having policies writ
ten on mercantile risks TO renew the
policies. But since the few local agents
have received no such instructions ana
expect to continue to accept the new
business as long as they receive no in
structions to the contrary, it Is thought
that the edge has been taken off OF the
order which practically deprived III
Paso of future fire protection.
The Inter-Insurance Underwriters
company, Of Galveston, through its 10
cal agent, is offering a combined pol
icy on fire insurance which covers live
stock, dwellings or mercantile risks at
the rate of SO per hundred. The mu-
tuaI companies are not controlled by
the state fire insurance law and are
permitted to write at their own rates
However the InterInsurance Under
writers has instructed its local agent
to write not more than $500 on any
risk in Ell Paso.

News has reached Ell Paso of the
death at Towaco. n. J.. July i. o. Julius
Prudential, first business man of early

years, which has left its mark in bust
ness monuments of the southwest, nota-
bly, the Arizona Copper company and
the h. Lesfnsky company of FL 'Paso-
A native of Germany, Mr.. Freudenthal
came 10 New York, and thence almost
Immediately to New Mexico That was
Ill 1861. A general mercantile business
was established at Belen. \ few years
later large business house was estab-
nshed at Las Cruces in association with
Charles and Henry Lesinsky.
That firm engaged in extensive min
ing operations and produced the Long
fellow Copper company at Clifton, Ariz-,
IN 1876. In the name Of the great New
England poet, fancy of Mr.. Freuden-
thai, the company mined and smeked
copper ore 1t was the first successful
operation of that kind in the terri
tory. Products were sent 700 miles
overland, in the absence OF raiIw avs,
and indian hostility caused an endless
source Of difficulties In 1882 the hold
ings were sold to a foreign syndicate,
the Arizona Copper company resulting.
The house of L. B. Prudential was
established in the early eighties in FL
PasO, the pioneer being associated with
his son, Ludvick, also known to many
early settlers of this city. This con-
Germ soon became a leading business
venture Of FL Paso, a general mercan-
tile business being transacted. The
F,reudenthals relinquished their local
holding 10 years ago, and the same con-
Germ evoluted into the H Lesinsky CO.
Surviving are LudvIck Prudential.

J. Prudential of Ell Paso, a nephew,
who IS secretary and treasurer Of the
H Lesinsky company.
Mr. Prudential never resided in FL
Paso for any great length of time. He
lived in New York city, making fire.
Quent trips west in inspection of his
business ventures. Since the sale Of
the local company he has been almost
inactive in business, spending his de-
Ginning years at his New Jersey coun-
try home.
