INSURANCE CONCERNS
HIT HARD BY WRECK
Death Claims, 1t Is Said, Will
Reach Approximately
s6,ooo,ooo.

According to estimates made by vsri
dent insurance, the death claims which
will be paid as result Of the sinking
of the Titanic will total about $6,00O,
600. Though accident insurance com.
panies are conceded to have suffered
the heaviest loss, large amount Of in,
surance was known TO have been car,
ried by life companies.
Based on the double indemnity clause
covering death by travel, certain of
the companies have estimated their
losses to be as follows: Travellers In
suranee company, 81 100000; Aetna,
$200,000; Fidelity & Casualty, 100000
Pacific Mutual Life, 100000; Ocean
Accident, $4,000: Standard Accident,
United States Fidelity & Guaranty,
10000; Employers Liability, $4,000;
Illinois Commercial Men s association,
$4,000; Massachusetts Accident.
$4,000.
Concerning the question as to what
proof Of death will be required bv the
companies before losses will be paid. w.
II, Ellison. secretary and manager Of
the Anderson Insurance agency Of this
city, said yesterday:
1t is safe to say that the attitude
Of the insurance companies will not be
technical think all that will be re-
qulred Is that persons in basing claims
must prove that the insured sailed on
board the Titanic. If this is done and
they were not among the rescued,
there will be no question raised; it will
be taken as natural sequence that
they were lost.'

Ebert Hubbard has undertaken the

cations,
BY many men of affairs in this coun-

City Gets Revenue.

AS you arc aware, Salt Lake City
receives the entire revenue arising
from such liquor traffic within Its

prosecution OF violations OF the liquor
Law has continued with the county
administration We do not wish TO
shirk any duty. or hamper your ad-
rninistration of municipal affairs,
neither do We wish TO sec the yto-
lators Of the Standard Of morality"
on liquor traffic. adopted by the last
legislature, go unpunished. But since
Salt Lake county, as a municipal
corporation, receives no revenue. we
do not think il should bear the ex-
pense. or any OF its functionaries
perform the work, arising from the
~lolatons of the law In the liquor
traffic In Salt Lake City.
We are Informed. however that
probably you have been advised that
YOU are without authority to pass
ordinances on the subject. This
view, however. this office does not
