LONDON DAILIES FIND
FREE INSURANCE HEAVY
Hard to Unload Burden As
sumed for Circulation.

LONDON. May 14.--It is an open secret
that the publishers of one or two OF the
London penny morn ng newspapers are
sorry that they et.r engaged In the
fierce competition which they have been
waging for some weeks 10 gain circula-
tion by giving subscribers free insurance
for a variety of accidents. ills and all
ments.
Having taken It up and doomed them
selves unsparingly as great public bene-
factors, the papers do not see their way
to drop IL without great loss of prestige
and circulation.
One paper of a large circulation states
that since the first sof the year ii has
paid claims amounting to $4,000 under
its free accident insurance scheme. An
other credits Itself with paying over 600
claims and $4,000 for free insurance in
the same period.
This campaign has been watched with
intense interest. Some OF the papers have
offered to obtain readers odd and un-
usual lines of insurance so as TO at
tract attention as the first in that par
ticular field.
One paper started a boom in It's free
Insurance scheme by announcing that II
was the one and only paper that pad
compensation for lost. strayed, stolen or
damaged laundry. Another capped this
by advertising Itself as the only paper
that paid compensation for accidents
occurring either In subscribers own
garden or that of somebody else.
Another claims 1t is the only paper
running free insurance scheme that In
