INSURANCE SALES
BY MAIL PLANNED
Casualty Company Being Or
ganized-Fire Risk Firm
to Follow.
BY RoLL1N NJ. CLARK.

In line with the constant expansion
in types of commodities sold by mail
order houses, these concerns are now
turning to insurance. 1t has just been
disclosed that one Of the largest mail
order institutions is organizing a cas-
ualty insurance company to sell insur-
ance by mail without agents. II this
venture materializes as expected, it will
be followed later by a fire insurance
running mate.
Mail order insurance Is not new.
There are a number of insurance COM
panies that are licensed only in their
home states but which are writing busi-
ness throughout the country, soliciting
by newspaper ADVERTISING radio and
mail. The practice is opposed by most
state insurance commissioners on the
ground that they have no supervision
over the mail operations Of these COM
panies in their states. Disputed claims
must be litigated in the state where the
insurer is domiciled, they point out, and
this is usually impracticable for the
small policyholder of limited means.
Licenses Necessary.
OF course, the new mail order COM
pany can eliminate this objection by
obtaining licenses in all 48 States. II
it decides to sell insurance through its
branch retail stores as we'll as by mail,
it would be necessary to obtain a license
in each state in which its stores sell
insurance
It is considered likely that such q
plan will be followed. Rural districts
can be successfully reached by mail, but
this form of solicitation will not pro-
duce much business in the cities where
agents and brokers control practically
all of the premium volume. The only
way in which the new company may
hope to compete for urban business,
most observers believe, is through utili-
cation Of the sales forces of the retail
stores of the parent concern. Every
purchaser of tires and automobile sup
plies is a prospect for automobile in
surance. Both tires and policies may
be sold over the same counter.
All types of casualty insurance car
riers will be affected by the operations
of the new company. In rural terri
tories it will be competing with mutual
and reciprocal insurers and in the
cities with all companies, but particu-
larry the stock companies which operate
through agents and brokers.
Opposition Expected.
1t is a foregone conclusion that the
organized insurance agents of the
country will condemn the new plan.
Agents contend that their services are
an essehial element in the sale of in
surance. It is their function, they say,
to see that insurance Is properly written
and that adequate service is given to
policyholders after the business goes
on the books, and that this is not pos
sible when insurance is sold by mail or
by clerks. The agency forces appear
to have ample cause for alarm, for the
new company will sell at lower than
standard rates and will start with a
mailing list containing 100000 names
and with more than 300 retail stores
located in the larger centers Of popu-
lation.

QUICK DECISION ON MERGER
DESIRED BY RAIL EXECUTIVES
Leaders In Carrier Field Believe IN Prompt
Action as Means of Acquiring
Benefits of Plan.

stock Of both properties. Therefore
It now appears likely that within four
or five months of the date when the
Eastern consolidation plan was Off
cially accepted and promulgated, all Of
the railroad systems identified with
this merger will have been required to
make important concessions to the I'M
favorable trend Of the times. To is
believed that had the merger been in
operation when the slump came 1t
would have been possible to have ef-
fected important economies in opera
ton that would have gone q consid-
cradle way in improving net earnings
and stabilizing dividend rates.
Unfortunately, the processes of rail-
road consolidation are extremely slow
and subject TO many Interruptions. On
this account 1t is not believed that
the petition Of the railroads will be in
shape to present to the Interstate COM
merce Commission until after the
Summer recess. There is no reason to
change the opinion previously ex-
pressed in these dispatches that the
final decision on the merger viii not
be given by the commission much be-
fore the late Spring of 1882.
Sluggish Traflc.
n Trafic conditions in the territory
outside Of that influenced by the four
party merger plan indicate the same
sluggishness as in the East. The Atch-
ison today published its February state
ment showing q decrease in this short
month of about $4,000, 900 gross and a
loss In net operating income Of over
40 per cent. The Burlington had a
decrease in gross Of 50, 100 900 and a
net loss Of over IS per cent. The Erie
had a deficit of about $4,000 after OPP
Grating expenses. Southern Railways
net operating income was of about IS
per cent, with that for two months less
than a third of the total a year ago.
This clearly points to a coming change
In the dividend policy of the road. The
Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Paul & Pacific
has had a so per cent reduction in OPP
Grating income for the two months,
while the Rock Island lines, which re-
duced their common stock dividend re-
Gently, had deficit after charges in
February Of over $243. 900, and the Mis-
souri, KansaS-Texas lines, whose COM
mon stock dividend was passed last
week, g deficit Of about $293, 900.

Engineers Public Service.

Controlled by Stone g. Webster. In
corporated, through ownership Of over
30 per cent of the common stock, En-
ginners Public Service is q holding COM
pany, the subsidiaries of which serve
nearly 700 communities in IL States
The holding company has no funded
debt of its own, but subsidiaries have
outstanding bonds to the amount Of
more than Sal, 100000 and preferred
stock in the sum Of over $72, 900 900,
these figures being as Of December 81
last.
There are three series Of no par
value preferred stocks, one paying IS,
one paying $3.50, and one paying IS
annually. The two first named are listed
on the New York Stock Exchange and
sell to yield about SIS for the SIS and
about 6.25 per cent for the $3.50 issue.
The So preferred was only recently
offered by the bankers at price to
yield per cent.
OF these issues the most interesting Is
the SIS preferred which hasa CONVEX
sion feature. The present conversion
rate is Is shares of common for each
10 shares of SIS preferred. At recent
market prices there was no object in
exercising the privilege. The potential
value of the conversion right, however,
appears In the lower yield basis at the
market for the SIS preferred, compared
with the two other preferred issues.
Dividend rate on the common is now
$2.40 a share to which rate 1t was
raised last May. Prior to that time the
common has been paying 81 share in
cash and per cent in stock annually
The company went through the year 1880
with q creditable showing. Net was
equivalent to 1881 a share on the COM
bined preferreds, against $1765 share
in the preceding year, and 1882 share
on the common, against $3.50 a share
in 1929, these figures being based on
the amounts outstanding in their rel
spective years. Among the important
subsidiaries are Virginia Electric &
Power Co., Eastern Texas Electric and
Puget Sound Power 81 Light.

Special'Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND, March 2S.-The eiee-
trio power and light industry, maintains
ing operations consistently above the
fluctuations of general business, faces
a most promising outlook in 1891 from
the standpoint OF electrical energy sold
and operating profits according to the
Union Trust Co of Cleveland.
A survey of the industry in the cur.
rent issue Of Trade Winds, the banks
publication. points out that 1880 was a
record aking year in gross revenue
despite decrease of II per cent in
electrical current generated. With
some signs of general economic repair,
the 1ndustry's record is the soundest
reason for future encouragement, the
article concludes.
Increased revenue on less current
supplied was due to a shifting in the
nature of consumer demand" saws
Trade Winds. During 1880, Industrial
consumption decreased because OF cur
tailed manufacturing operations, forcing
some power users TO pay higher rates
for electrical energy since they failed
to earn the minimum rate for volume
consumption. Meanwhile, domestic de-
mand increased through the addition
of thousands Of new customers and
greater consumption per user, more
than offsetting industrial loss in rev.
enue and almost making up for 1t in
volume.
Pew businesses depend so much on
volume for efficient and economical op-
erations as the electric power industry.
so as consumption increases and plant
facilities are more completely utilized.
rates viii continue to tend downward,
as evidenced by reduction Of about S
per cent in domestic rates last year
The industry today represents an
investment of approximately $1l.850.-
100000, and collects more than 81 1000.
100000 annually from 24,702 900 con-
sumers Of all types. Domestic users Of
electricity now total 20, 43S, 900, repre-
senting 40 per cent Of American homes,
In 1927 domestic users totaled u.s.
5000.
THE industry expects to spend APP
proximately s800,00O,0 900 this year for
new constructions, extensions and inn
provement OF facilities, and the sum OF
$1,000, 100000 is contemplated for that
purpose during the next 10 years.
Achievements of the industry during
preston may be summarized as foI-
lows:
The number Of new customers in.
creased by $4,000, Of which 472 ,O0o
were new domestic users.
Domestic consumption of electrical
energy gained IA per cent and CONNER
ctal consumption gained 10 per cent.
Industrial consumption fell on rs per
cent.
Generating capacity was increased
BY 2,750,000 horsepower, or per cent.
Electrical service to farms increased
ID per cent, the largest gain ever res
corded IN one year.
THE industry's effort in the future
naturally viii be directed toward selling
more kilowatt hours for each dollar 81
investment, and this effort depends on
strengthening the domestic market and
continued growth Of industrial con-
sumption"

CURB PRICES DROP
ON SHARP SELLING
Utilities Group Continues
Most Active in List-Air
Stocks Off.
BY JOHN A. cRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 28.--Prices con-
tinued to move downward on the Curb
Exchange today after an irregular open
ing. Public utilities, in which spec
ulative interest has been built up, were
the principal sufferers as they were the
most active group.
Electric Bond & Share sold on more
than point at times, usually rallying
fractionally after each string of sales.
Cities Service was relatively inactive
and moved narrowly.
Following the downturn of power and
light issues, air shares and motion pic
ture stocks came out at lower prices
and then the tape recorded sales Of
many inactive securities.
Aviation Corporation of America,
whose annual report will be made public
around April 2, was down q point most
of the time. Douglas Aircraft also de-
clined along with Niles ement-Pond,
General Aviation and Transcontinental
Transport on a small turnover. Educa-
tional Pictures preferred with warrants,
without any oflcial news being made
public today, ran up 80 points and
moved against the general trend Of
amusement shares.
Noranda Mines in early tradings acted
as If traders were disappointed about
the remarks of President Murdoch. He
told shareholders that exploration of
tigh-grade ore found in the drift on
the 1,475-foot level was being con-
tinued. In some places. he indicated,
high-grade ore has now been proved to
continue to some 2,700 feet from the
surface. The company, Mr.. Murdoch
explained, is taking no ore below the
o75-foct level. Noranda Mines will
apply for listing on the New York
Stock Exchange.
Northern States Power A was up

nouncement that it planned to sell
SIS, 100000 of first lien and refunding

which will refund an outstanding issue
