Name Committee

T. That the Board Of Trade appoint an executive committee of five who shall have power and authority to in- vestigate the rates of insurance in the Birmingham district as compared with other parts of the country and to make recommendations in regard to the same; and who shall have authority to take all proper steps whereby needful leg islation may be secured at the coming meeting of the Legislature for the pur- pose of making the collection of losses more speedy and less liable to be de- feated by technical objections without merit; and to take all proper steps to examine into the organization and proper license fees to be paid by al legged adjustment bureaus, foreign or local, alleged to be organized to rep resent either the insured or the com panies.
 "2. Resolved, that such executive com mittee report in writing to a meeting of this Board of Trade to be called by the president.
 "S. Resolved, that said executive com mittee have authority, if necessary, to em- ploy such assistance as may be neces- sary to carry this resolution into effect, and to correspond and act with other sim liar commercial bodies throughout the state in obtaining the relief desired"
 Expect Developments
 The investigation that will be started by the foregoing resolution will end in some interesting light being thrown upon the situation, 1t is believed, and perhaps a state wide war will be declared against those companies who allow the Southeast ern Underwriters association to manipu- late rates. It is stated-as disclosed at the meeting yesterday afternoon-that Mont gomery. Mobile, Talladega and other places in this state are very much con- cerned over the increase said to have been made in those places recently. It was the information brought here yesterday that the above named cities are restless under the yoke placed upon them by the association and are willing to enter into fight against the proposition.
 The alleged practices of adjusters in forcing insurers to accept a small sum rather than to contest the claims was brought out yesterday The statement was made by Sterling A. Wood that a business man of Birmingham, who had suffered a los, was forced by adjusters to accept sum inconsiderate with the loss sustained. These alleged practices and the increases already given out will form the basis of report to be made by the committee appointed yesterday. That committee will compare all the rates paid in various cities. It is probable. 1t was stated, that eventually the movement started yesterday will cause the South eastern Underwriters association to be ex- pelled from this state.
 President John L. Parker presided at the meeting yesterday. and short talks were made by Mir. Wood, John w 'Neill, Dr. Parker. J. E. Babb and others.

The Resolutions

The resolution adopted follows:
 "Whereas, an attempt is now being made to raise the rates of insurance in the Birmingham district by the Southeastern Tariff association; and.
 Whereas, this district, with the view to minimize the loss by fire has just added large and valuable amounts of equipment to its fire department and,
 Whereas. many just losses have been has become more difficult whereby the insured is often compelled to employ special agents and attorneys, or ac- cept whatever the insurance companies may voluntarily allow them; and.
 "Wheras. many just losses have been either defeated entirely or reduced ma terially by technical objections which did not relate to the merits of the loss or any wilful act on the part of the insured;

Witnesses Absent

Many witnesses, both for the state and deiense, failed to answer their names when called and Judge Cahalan ordered attachments issued for each absentee. He called Sheriff McAdory to the bench and instructed him to see that the process was promptly served. There was little opposition to the passing or setting of any of the cases except in that of Henry Cole. His attorneys announced ready and insisted on an immediate trial. The case was continued until Wednesday morning.
 There arc sufficient jurors impaneed to have both divisions of the courts in ses- sion trying the capital cases. In the event that Acting Judge Frank Smith of the second division gets through with its docket he will take up some of the cases set in the first division.
