The steamship Dacia left Galveston
for Rotterdam January 81 with IL, 00(
bales of cotton to be trans-shipped tC
Bremen. 1t was fully expected al
that time that the ship would be seizeC
on her way to Rotterdam.
Great Britain questioned the valid
ity of the recent transfer Of the Dacis
from German to American registry.
The Dacia touched at Norfolk Febru.
ary IL and proceeded.
The Dacia was formerly Hamburg
American freight steamship which had
been used before the war in trade with
Bremen and New Orleans and other
Gulf ports. At the outbreak Of tine
hostilities she was interned at Port
Arthur, Tex.
The Dacia was bought on December
"a by an American and on January 4
American registry was obtained. 1t
was then announced that she was to be
used to relieve the cotton congestion
and loading was begun with cargo Of
cotton to be taken to Rotterdam and
thence shipped to Bremen, where it
was already sold.
Representations were made immedi-
ately by the British embassy at Wash
ington, questioning the validity of the
transfer of the interned vessel and it
was generally understood that If she
sailed she would be seized by British
or French warships and taken before a
prize court.

"A short time after / took posses

to me from inquiries from all parts OF

Relief Of Oregon, Oregon Merchants

collecting assessments levied during

ference. They readily accepted this
invitation, and in discussing their fu-
ture plans, it was decided q thorough
investigation be made by an expert
insurance accountant. This met with
their approval and they employed w.

''The results of this investigation
showed these three companies to be in
such financial condition that the board
of directors deemed it advisable to
notify the insurance department of
same, and on being informed of con-

should be taken to protect the policy
holders and warn those who held insur-

Mutual Fire Insurance
Company Quits Business

Salem-Upon application Of the di-
rectors Of the company, which is un-
able to meet its financial obligations,
Circuit Juge Galloway appointed Har-
vey Wells, insurance commissioner. re-
ceiver of the horticultural Fire Relief
of Oregon, with Offices in this city.
Assets are estimated by Mr.. Wells
at $1,000, with liabilities of from
$50, 600 to 100000. The company alb
sorbed the Oregon Merchants Mutual
Fire Assurance Association of Dayton,
and the Pacific Home Mutual Fire In
surance company of Forest Grove in
1919. Recent large losses and the
absorption of the two companies are
ascribed as the cause Of the failure.
The three companies had insurance ag-
gregating about $4,000. 900. Ar
rangements will be made with the Pa
cific States Fire Insurance company to
rewrite as much of this business as
possible on 10 per cent basis.
Insurance Commissioner Wells said:
''The net premiums received by this
company during 19l4were $50, 072 and
losses incurred were $50, 976, plus an
expense of about so per cent of the
