LIKE WEATHER INSURANCE
Protection Against Rain More
Sought of Late.

New York Times. -.
Weather insurance a novelty q
year ago, has now taken a firm hold
in this country and, following the
example of Great Britain, Americans
are now insuring every variety of
event against loss by rain. More
than $1;5oO,o0o was underwritten
In rain insurance on July 4, it was
estimated by a broker yesterday, and
Labor Day is expected to break that
record. Fortunately for the insur-
ance companies, fair weather was
general on the Fourth of July, and
less than 100000 yas paid to poll
cy holders. D.,
Five major league baeball clubs
this season have thus safeguarded
themselves on all Of their Saturday,
Sunday and holiday dates, while
many minor league teams have pro-
tected themselves by Pluvius insur-
ance policy as that class of risk is
termed. A British company under
wrote a $750,000 rain tnurance poll
cy for Tex Richard as protection
that horse racing promoters
elements might have caused on July
2, the day Of the Dempsey4Carpen-
tier fight. The premium Of this policy
was reported to have been $4,000.
The field for rain insurance has
broadened. Colleges have begun 10
insure their football games, and
State and county fairs also have
taken up the practice. Underwriters
and excursion boat owners are
among their best clients. In the Win
ter they insure ice-skating rinks on
the temperature remaining below
freezing. Summer hotels insure them
selves against bad weather over week
ends and department. stores do the
same thing on days when.special bar
gains are advertised.
| Rain insurance is said to be like
playing a fve-to-one shot. The in
surance companies charge premi'
ums ranging from 2 1-2 to rs per
cent, and even higher in rare in
stances. The usual method is to in
sure against oneEenth inch of rain
fall during stipulated hours-usual,
ly "a, IL, 6, or 4 hours.
Pluvius insurance policies are
flexible and can be written to cover
special conditions or localities or in
blanket form to cover a series Of
, events. Every class of this form o1
inurance is now being written
There are policies under the terms
, of which if the income from any
, event does not equal the expense in
Cured the company pays the differ
ence. Another form of agreemen'
= makes the company liable for the diff
ference between a valued amount
and the actual receipts. Snow, slee'
: and hail are now included in the
risks.
One line of weather insurance
that is being developed is crop in
surance. In, this form of underwrit
, ing the companies will take either
| side. They will insure against fail
weather when the crops need rair
or they will insure against rain wher
{ crops have been cut and the coming
of rain would be calamity to the
: farmer.
Rates are based on the average
: rainfall in any location over a ten
year period and on the month ir
which the event insured is to take
: place. Reports of the United State:
7 Weather Bureau are taken as evi
: dence of rainfall and policies are
paid on SIGH reports.

ID PLAIN UNIRUIH Judge Westcott. 72, Accuses
 Former Acting Judge Advo-
 cate General of Lack of
 Veracity In Hearing
 By Associated Press
 Washington, May 3.-A sharp ques- ton of veracity arising between Sam uel T. Ansen, former acting judge ad- vocate general of the army, and for mer Judge John w. Westcott of New Jersey, created intense excitement to- day at the investigation by a House committee of the escape of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, Philadelphia draft evader.
 Called to the stand before Mir. An sel counsel for Bergdoll, had com rleted his long statement, Judge Vest cctt, who is 72 years of age, flatly denied the testimony of Ansell in two essential details and declared with | great emphasis that there was no word of truth in the report that he had beer | engaged as associate counsel, as An sell had stated, to help get Bergdoll | out of prison after he had evaded the draft for nearly two years
 l As the judge went back to seat in a corner of the committee room, MT. Ansell, who had heard part of the | denial, reiterated under oath that ev- cry word of his testimony was true. Just his examination was about so shift to other channels, Chairman | Peters, turning to the judge, asked if | he desired to be heard.
 OFFERS TO FIGh1 | The judge was on lis feet instantly. Moving over toward the table, across from which Mir. Ansell sat, and, refus- ing to be seated, Judge Westcott for l five minutes let loose a torrent of denial, declaring that Ansell lacked the physical, mental and moral courage | to step outside and make the same charges to his face. In the midst of the verbal attack Mr. Ansell broke in with the uemand that if it was to be debate he wanted the right to speak.
 Seeing possibilities of an impending clash, Chairman Peters quickly stopped 1t, but not until the judge had fired a few more shots. Then, picking up his hat, the latter walked out with d courteous and smiling, Well good bye, gentlemen"

BIG AID TO CONSTRUCTION
Elimination Of Levy on New
Building Brings S200,000,-
900 Work in This City.

The time limit. at present set for April
l. 1922, before which housing construc-
tion must be begun If owners are to en-
JOY the tax exemption provision allowed
by the Board of Aldermen, for which
Borough President Henry II. Curran of
Manhattan was mainly responsible, may
be extended one or two years IL plans
OF the Lockwood legislative committee
on housing are put into effect. The
Curran resolution provided for the ex-
emption for ten years of all dwelling
construction begun before April / next
and completed within tho ensuing
eighteen months.
The suggested modification OF this pro-
vision will not permit of tax exemptions
beyond 1882. but will extend the time
within which such construction must be-
gin for at least one or possibly two
years. Legislation authorizing the city
to grant this additional relief TO housing
contractors will probably be introduced
at the next session Of the Legislature.
This move was tentatively decided
upon at an informal session of the Lock-
wood committee at City Hall yesterday
as a further stimulant to building.
In addition, TO cope with possible fur
ther profiteering in leases, the sug-
gestion is under consideration to recon-
mend an extension of the rent laws
limiting landlords annual increase.
provided the constitutionality OF the laws
Is upheld when it is tested before the
United States Supreme Court in the near
future. These laws have been upheld
by the State Court OF Appeals, and in
the argument before the Supreme Court
William D. Guthrie, who drew the tax
exemption law, and julius Henry Cohen
will appear in support of the laws.
State Senator Charles G. Lockwood,
chairman of the housing committee.
commenting on the suggestion for fur
ther stimulation of housing construction
said:
More than 5000, 100000 worth of
houses have been built or planned in
New York city alone since the adoption
of the tax exemption ordinance last
February. This is by far larger than
| in any community in the United States,
showing that the tax exemption law has
been the great stimulant.'
