INSURANCE COMPANY
DEMESLAW BREACH
Refutes Charge That Fire Risk
Rates Have Increased 20 to
100 Per Cent.

Denying that 1t has violated the new
Clayton antitrust law IN any particu-
lar, the Home Insurance Company. of
New York, fled an answer in the Dis
trict Supreme Court today to the suit
of Jesse w. I1own to compel the cor
poration to sever its connections with
the Underwriters Association of the
District.
The insurance company admits It's
rlembe rship with the Underwriters As
ISOLATION, but claims that It IL not for
the purpose Of restraining trade, but
rather for the purpose of engaging ex-
perts to determine and fix Reasonable
rates OF fire Insurance I'm this 1urisdic-
tion.
A donial is made that fire insurance
rates in the District have increased 30
to 100 per cent, as alleged. On the con-
trary, 1t is urged that there have been
decreases in certain rates. and that
there are possibilities OF further rcduc-
uons as a result OF the relations Of
the corporation and the association.
It ls stated in the answer that the
policy OF Mr. Lown has been Cancelled
by the defendant company, and for that
reason he now has no ground upon
which to institute proceedings under the
Clayton act. The cancellation Of Mr..
Lown's policy, it is argued. puts him
out Of court. as It is impossible for him
to sustain any damag ges.
Attorney J. ]. Darlington appears as
counsel for the insurance company.
