MILLION A DAY FIRE LOSS
January One Of the Most Disastrous
Months Known to Insurance Men.

January One Of the Most Disastrous
Months Known to Insurance Men.
Hartford, Conn, Jan. 1S.-During
January the fire insurance companies
of the country have become liable for
$4,000, 900 in losses, according to a
Hartford company, which is one Of
the largest in the world. The com
pany acknowledges that it has paid
out for adjustments more than twice
the amount it has received in prem
iums, but the numerous fire scares
have made new business unusually
good,
In the opinion of Hartford fire UNI
derwriters, there has never been
such severe and steady drain on
their resources for one month as the
statistics for January will show. For
the first ten days of the year the
losses were nearly S10,000,0O0.
Not many fire insurance companies
made big profits in 1911 on their UNI
der-writing the investment side Of
the business alone sufiicing for the
carrying through of regular dividends
but this years beginning is the most
discouraging in the memory of local
officials.

circus managers is accepted 1t will

Jay McDevitt of Wilkesbarre, the
millionaire-for-a-day," was a guest
tonight at the Clover Club dinner at
the BellevueStratford Hotel, but he
was a subdued individual because he

Instead McDevitt was seated at one
OF the side tables, from where he
might see how men possessing some
thing more than a million disported
themselves.
John Jay announced on his arrival
this afternoon that he would not go
to the dinner II II was necessary to

Il would not be necessary for him 10
wear evening clothes. He was much
disappointed because he was not

Ward and James Gaffney, new own
ers Of the Boston Nationals, had
their first conference today with
Johnny King, new manager of the
club. King came from Kansas City
for the meeting, Gaffney coming
from New York.
According to Ward, there is no in.
tention of trading AL Mattern, the lit.
tie lefthander of the Boston Club, for
Arthur Devlin of the Giants, as re-
ported THAT talk did not come
from us, | am sure" said Ward
"Mattern is a good pitcher. While
would like to have Devlin on third
base-there is a lot of baseball left
in him--l would not swap any OF the
present Boston Nationals for him."
Ward will suggest to the Rules
Committee. of which he is a member
that players spikes shall be reduced
He says that the present ones are
too much like knives, and that the
players could obtain as much speed
with shorter ones.
