SAX FRANCISCO. .May 16.-The in surancv companion will settk' their losses iu their own way, each company acting for itself, according to the con tracts embodied in its policies and the fire underwriter adjusting bureau will make no attempt to dictate a general policy or lay down uniform rules for the companies to observe in the settle ment of claims, according to a state ment made yesterday by Attorney T. C. Coogan. who is legal adviser to the adjustment bureau. The adjustment bureau is merely to act as a board of appraisers in dealing with claims and only report on losses sustained, leaving the settlement entirely to the respective companies. Mr. Coogan i-aid: "The settlement of claims will not bt? upon any uniform basis. Each company will settle its own losses in its own fashion. It has its own contracts em Ixxlit'd in its own policies, and its own attorneys to advise it. The adjutinj,' bureau has no power to lay down any uniform course or policy for observation by the companies, no power to compel them to waive conditions and legal rights. "N'o propo-itinn looking toward uni formity of action has been sugfre-ted! nor is there any truth in the report that it is contemplated to cut los-es all down the line and ettb; upon a percentage basis. "The companies will pay what they legally owe. Moreover, they will be per fectly fair, but thev will obev no rules laid down for them by any bureau."
