For falling to appear In the Munici pal Court yesterday morning for trial on a charge of dumping garbage into the Willamette River, I. N. Day, man ager of the Columbia Construction Company, will be arrested today on his arrival from Tacoma. He Is cited to appear before Judge Cameron to show cause why he should not be pun ished for contempt, and his bail has been fixed at $300 cash. Manager Day was arrested recently on complaint of Acting Harbormaster Smith, who charged him with dumping refuse Into the river at the foot of Couch street. Ball In that case was fixed at $100, and when taken to police headquarters Day made a loud com plaint, saying he was not the man wanted, and he finally appealed to Municipal Judge Cameron, who re leased him on his own recognizance. Day promised Judge Cameron that he would produce In court the man who actually dumped the refuse Into the river, and yesterday was the date set for the hearing. The session of court closed, however, without any appear ance being entered by Day, and the contempt citation was issued by Judge Cameron later.

Unexpected charges that have made the expense of laying the cargo of New Well ington Coal on the Supple Dock very heavy, the Rock Springs Coal Company have been compelled to charge $9.50 for this splendid coal Instead of $9, as orig inally expected. Many things the com pany had to pay in the matter of dis charging this cargo showed up at such a late day that many tons were sold at such a small margin that the balance could not be sold for less than $9.50 and allow the company to come out clear.

FIRE PREMIUMS TO FEEL E Insurance Rates Said to Be Held Too Hirjh in ' Portland. DENIAL BY UNDERWRITERS Committee of Commercial Club, Headed by E. M. Brannlck, Plans 1 to Delve Into Question, In In terest of Policy-Holders. For lower insurance rates In Portland, a special committee of the Commercial Club has been appointed to delve into the matter of premiums. The committee, headed by E. M. Brannick, and contain ing Tom Richardson, J. Couch Flanders, D. C. O'Reilly, F. H. Ransom and John Annand, will boost the plan for a new steel flreboat, to cost between $100,000 and $125.000 this in the interest of better pro tection and lower rates. It is alleged that rates have been forced up in the last three years by the under writers, out of proportion with risks, but Insurance men declare that this Is not the fact. It Is asserted that the reduction prom ised three years ago, by the underwriters, for a flreboat, has not beer) given, and that where it has been demanded, new risks have been found by the Insurance companies, to offset it. But this also is denied by the insurance men, who de clare that many cases can be cited of lower rates since the flreboat was built, even including the 25 per cent Increase, imposed after the San Francisco burn. "Portland Is Squeezed." "The Insurance comrJanles are squeezing Portland for every dollar they can get," said Mr. Brannick yesterday. That's their business, and we must expect It, I sup pose. But it's a mighty heavy tax. Rates have been boosted up all over the city and are going up yet. I received notice of an increase Just the other day. Then there is that 25 per cent Increase, put on us last May. Before we got our flreboat. we were promised 15 per cent and 10 and 5 per cent reductions. We got the fire boat, but' not the1 lower rates. On the East Side there have been very heavy In creases. Two or three years ago my busi ness was paying $V60 per $100 for insur ance; now it pays $2.59, which would be one-third higher, or about $3.85, if we had not put in sprinklers in our buildings. Some of those properties near us are paying $5. Many property owners in Port land cannot afford to pay premiums and therefore have to carry their own insur ance." Other Side of Story. . A different side is offered by insurance men. A prominent member of their ranks said yesterday that the flreboat had brought rate reductions on the river front and that be could cite many instances of the fact, even with the 25 per cent in crease included. The East Side had re received no reductions on account of its inaccessibility to the flreboat. That rates In that part of the city are not too high, he said was proved by the difficulty which property owners have found in obtaining insurance. Even in the dangerous district east of Morrison bridge, he asserted there were Individual risks which had rates even lower than three years ago. Where many buildings have collected in the last two or three years, rates had been put up, on account of the added hazard. "The truth is," said he, "rates In Portland are too low. This city is exposed to conflagration, starting from Its inflammable waterfront, yet rates are not up to a compensating figure. In North Portland I can point out dwellings which are rated at 40 cents per $100 Insurance, or 80 cents for three years' Insurance. This is en tirely too low." J. D. Coleman, Northwest manager for the Home Insurance Company, said proof that rates in the United States are not too high is found In the fact that domestic insurance companies made only 2 per cent on their paid-up capital in the last ten years, before the prodigious losses in San Francis co occurred. Rates in Portland, lie said, were on the same basis as in other parts of the United States. "Who of those who complain that insurance companies are making too much mon ey," he asked, "would put their money in the insurance business, content to receive back 2 per cent on their money invested?" Insurance Surplus Wiped Out. "It should be remembered that the In surance companies have gone deep into their pockets and refunded not only the dividends they have drawn since their or ganization, but in-addition have levied heavy assessments against stockholders to meet the losses and impairment of their capital. There was not insurance surplus enough in the whole world to meet the San Francisco losses, and the companies stand today In an impoverished condition as a whole surplus gone, capital gone, nothing left but name. There are some 30 companies that were able to meet their losses out of surplus; nevertheless, the ag gregate surplus of all the companies could not possibly meet the losses sustained. All others have become weakened to the extent that they are not able to pay their honest obligations. It Is only those engaged in the insurance business that know the real, true situation. "The recent increase of rates, through out the United States was imperative for the protection of the insuring public throughout the world, should another con flagration occur in the near future. At the present time there is not a single dollar of surplus In the aggregate, avail able to meet a similar fire. The excep tions, such as the 30 companies men tioned, are not able to carry the liability of the world. Therefore, what Ms the little 25 per cent advance to the merchant who wants first-class protection to the property he has devoted his entire life in accumulating? We are committed to the advance in rates for the reason that un less the weakened companies secure as sistance at this time in the replenishing of their surplus 70 per cent of them will be forced to the wall. The strong com panies have no desire to bring about a financial crisis which would certainly follow should such a calamity happen.

Without a replenished surplus there would be no protection whatsoever for the in suring public against even a smaller con flagration. "Profits Are Small." "While it is true there are upwards of 40 companies left, having a surplus with which to continue business and meet future conflagrations, yet that number is only a small proportion of the insurance companies of the world, and could not begin to care for the lia bility should the large majority of companies be compelled to enter "into liquidation; consequently, I hold that it is far more to the interest of the public that an increase of rates should be had than it is to the insurance com panies, for the stockholders could read ily invest their money elsewhere to far better advantage than engaging in the hazardous undertaking of fire in surance. I will venture the assertion that there is no class of investors on top. of earth that have been more mag nanimous and public-spirited than those engaged in the insurance busi ness, coming forward as they have with the dividends they have hereto fore drawn, augmented by new capital, for the purpose of making good tlieir obligations and continuing in business. "Money is timid and shrinks from uncertain ventures, and as there has been less than 2.1 per cent profit in the underwriting business covering a period of upwards of a quarter of a century, it must be admitted that such a margin of profit is exceedingly small. Strange to me that the public is not willing to study the history of such matters before forming opinions con demnatory to those who have not only ventured their money, but have paid the penalty of so doing, by surrender ing the profits heretofore drawn, and digging deep into their pockets for new capital with which to continue business. Missionary work among business men by disseminating a true knowledge of the Are insurance situa tion, ought to bring about a reaction ary sentiment in favor of the com panies."
