Consider Rate Increase
Association Holds Its Annual
Meeting and Orders
Data Collected

The burglary insurance business here

than a year owing to the great increase
in the number Of robbrrses of resi-
dences, banks, stores, loft establish
ments and brokerage concerns, mem.
bers Of the Burglary Insurance Under
writer's Association said yesterday, fol-
lowing their annual meeting in the
Hotel McAlpin.
Data to be assembled within the next
thirty days will indicate whether fur
ther rate increases must be applied
to meet the losses. Increases of 20 per
cent were effected last December on
burglary insurance for residences.
Suggestions for changes in the policy
forms of the surety companies were
approved by the association. H. w.
Cluff, secretary of the organization
denied that one of the changes agreed
upon provided for the assumption of q
part of the loss by the policyholder
The only thing that had kept many of
the surety companies from bankruptcy,
he said, was the fact that they engage
in other forms of the insurance bust
ness.
E. G. Bogart, of the Globe Surety
Company, was elected president Of the

Court Calls Divorce
Case Sheer CollusiOn'
Justice Tompkins, at White
Plains, Dismisses Suit of
Mrs. Helene Mahlsteado>

declaring that the evidence in the
divorce action before him was "the
crudest of collusion," Justice Arthur
S. Tompkins in the Supreme Court at
White Plains yesterday dismissed the
suit brought by Mrs. Helene Mahlstead
against John P. Mahlstead, of New
Rochelle.
The court in giving his decision as
serted that in the first place he could
not understand why the suit was
brought before him, as the alleged in
discretion named in the action occurred
in Rockland County. And in the evil
dence presented to him by the referee.
he said he found countless evidences
OF the clearest collusion.
How three detectives and two wit
nesses could have happened to be at
the st. George Hotel, in Nyack. which
IS across the Hudson from New
Rochelle, at the same time is bevond
me- declared the justice. The evil
dence shows that at least three of
them never had been at that particular
point before, and yet they all conere-
gated there at 9 o'clock on the MONT
of the alleged indiscretion. This lonls
to me like sheer, fragrant collusion."
