By L, C. OWEN (Staff Correspondent of the Casper ‘Tribune) (Copyright, 1924, Consolidated Press Assoclation) SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21— Former Kaiser Wilhelm, who has been charged with about every va- riety of offense on the calendar, shortly to be charged with still an; other one—welching. Fy San Franciscans who lost more than half a billion dollars worth of property in the earthquake and fire in 1906 and who were further cheat- ed out of partial restitution of their losses when several big German in surance companies refused to pay claims against them, will hark back almost a score of years in presenting new allegations of moral shortcom- ings against the former kalser. Testimony of the alleged welching is expected to be brought out before Superior Judge Frank Deasy here at a special hearing begun last night to take sworn statements which will be filed with the alien property cus- todjan at Washington. It is to be chdrged that not only the former kaiser, but also most of the Hohen- zollern family were heavy stockhold- evs in the three largest welching German companijes—that refusal to pay fosses to San Francisco policy holders in these companies was at the dictation of the former Teuton royal family. Following tha disastrous earth: quake and fire in San Francisco in 1906, American, British, French, Holland and Spanish companies pald their losses promptly, dollar for dol- lar, although in the process miny of them became bankrupt. Not so the German companies. Out of more than a dozen Teuton insurance con- cerns, only three attempted to meet claims ‘against them in full and they went into bankruptey before they could liquidate more than half their obligations. Other companies siege ed the three in which it is alleged the German royal family compose a majority of the stockholders, forced fire and eartliquake victims here to settle their claims as low as 25 cents on the dollar. Threats to sue and several suits actually filed were of no avail. The defaulting German companies denied they had any assets in the country and the hopelessness of going to Germany and filing suits there re- sulted in the attempts to collect be- ing abandoned. Entry of America jnto the world war and selzure of German property {n this country by the allen property custodian, most of which is still held, however, offers a new oppor tunity to San Francisco fire losers to collect. Among allen property seized was approximately $4,500,000 of funds and property belonging, to German insurance companies which local records show refused to pay up after the 1906 disaster. ‘The funds e still being held in Washington d it Is in an effort to secure court judgments against them that sworn testimony. which will be placed in the hands of Thomas W. Miller, pres: ent allen property custodian jn Washington, is to be heard here by Julge Deasy.

While there, they made investigations which showed that members of the Hohenzollern family had been paid at various times more than $25,000,- 000 in dividends from insurance pre- miums collected from San Francisco policy holde: At the same time the San co committeemen were inform the heads of the defaulting insurance companies that it would be impossible to make just settlement with fire and earthquake victims because the kaiser, to save his own purse strings, had forbid den such settlement. Because the German emperor then was in full bloom of his royal might, San Fran- clscans were powerless to do any- thing which might help their suffer- Ing townsmen back home. The German companies already have tried to dodge 18-year-old claims of San Franolsco fire victims by pleading that the statute of limit: ations has outlawed the claim, but the allen property cutodian has re- fused to turn over the seized German assets until some kind of a settle. ment ts made.

John Mexes, a local restauranter was held up by four masked bandits, several miles west of this city yes. terday “afternoon and robbed of nearly $14,000. Mexes, according to the report was invited by two acquaintances to take a ride with them and he ac cepted. They drove out of town, and near Jansen, a small town about three miles west of Trinidad, four masked men appeared and ordered the car to stop. Mexes was the only one of the three molested by the highwaymen, the other two not even being searched. It {8 reported that Mexes was con- templating taking a trip to Europe, which fact accounts for his carry. ing such a large amount of money. As far as can be learned no trace as to the identity of the bandits has been found. ——<— When Queen Mary goes visiting, her luggage, in addition to her gowns and dresses, always contains 4 great many of her majesty’s per- belongings in the way of spe- treasured photographs, books and vartous ornaments, which she kes to have arranged about her Personal apartments wherever she may be.
