The Fire-Insurance Brokess’ Objections to tho Recent Ordinance. Let the Wholé System of Brok- erage Be Abolished, THE CHARTER OAK, REIOINDERS TO MN. FURNER'S LETTER. Mr. I. J. Furber, Inte of the Charter Oak Life-Insuranca Company of Martford, Conn., haying taken exception to certait strictures upon bis management of thot Institution, and embodied his alleged grievances in a letter to the New York Zimea, which waa republished fn this paper yesterday morning, a reporter of Tus TripuNE visited Mr. Geurze Sherwood, a mem- ber of the Speciat Committee of Polfcy-holders, who visited Hartford not long ago to examine Into the affairs of the Company, in order to Jearn what Mr. Sherwood had to say in reply. Mr. Furber's allegations were sweeping in their character, and he denounced Mr. Sher- wood, Mr. Wiliam Bross, and tho Mey. W. IL Ryder ns utterers of untruths, provided the published report of their utterances nt the meeting held on Monday Jast at the Sherman House was a faithful one. Me. Sherwood said he had looked over the re- pote of his remarks, which were correct through- ont. ‘The reporter drew his attentinn to the allega- tion made by Mr. Turber: “They (the Com- mittee) epent two houra in conversatlon with the Presitent, Mr. Wiggins. They neyer examined a book on’ paper of the Company. nor aaked to gee ore; but, after listening to story of tho Prealdent. George Sherwood himself stated that, the Committee were satisfied that the manage- ment of the Cumpany since the retirement of Mr. Walkley had teen judicious.” Mr. Sherwool—f never sald anything of the Kinds Furber's assertion [3 i gross falsehood. 1 will tell you what we ditdo. The entie Committee called on Mr. Wiggins, who told bis story tromn.beginuing te end. It is unnecessary tu repeat all bis yurn, much of which had noth- Ing to do with ‘the points at {issue} but I will give you the leading features of {t, Ho stared that he and Furber would never have gone into the Company at all if they had knuwn, or cn- tertained any fdea, of the corruption aud mis- manezement of the previous managers. They (Farber and himself) nad found a million dollars in pecinlitiy notes counted as asscta, which pos- essed NO VALUE WHATEVER, There were many other crooked things, Tho accounts were ina chaotle state, and they could not make head nor tall of them, Some of the books were missing, and the cash had never bien batanced at all. Then, resumed Mr. Sherwood, the Committec asked hin why ts ttthat this Mr. White, who wad connected with the former management, and who, itis generally charged and acknowl- edged, 16 so corrupt, is stilt retaiued in the service of the Company ot a salary of $10,000 or $120 per annum ‘To this Wiggins replied: “That is a pertinent question, There are certain matters in court on which we want bis testimony, aud we thought it better to keep hin than to dismiss him. But tne experts who lave examined our books say that they never saw a better kept set af books $a their liver," ‘Mr. Sherwood then asked: ‘How do you get up such a first-class set of books from the niuss of rubbish which you and Furber found ou tak- Ing posseasion |"? Mr. Wiggins’ repiled. that. they went to work just the same as ove would {nu a coun- try store, and took =—oaon—_invento- of everything, Ther sent agents ry alt over the country to examine Into the real estate, and looked up every detull of the busi- nes. The Commitice then returned, with tho exception of Mr, Sherwood, who remained: to examine the buoks. He asked to sce the In- yentory, and, after some deluy, cuuacd by walt- Ing for a clerk who wes alleged to kuow all about {t, thi wns produced, a8 also the books. To Sherwood's utter astontshment, the ilrst of books bore date May 12, 18% y over cot then staried, hie didi'’t know, and how much the Cum- ay wight have been robbed of privr to the late of their commencement there seemed no means of telling. . ‘The reporter then inquired: “Did you give any expression of optinior astd the amount in which the books shown to you had been keptt” “ Yex, I did say thut the new booke from May, 1876, appeared to be kept ono very, good sys tem, and that [Mked tha plan and details.” 1 spent four or flve hours {1 the olive’?

THE BROKERS. ‘TORIR VIEWS ON TUX COUNCIL ORDINANCE, At a oceting held Tuesday, attended by about twenty of the leading {nsurance brokers Of the city, a committee was appointed to call Upon the Muyor to ask him to withhold bis sig- Dature from the ordinance adupted on the Preylous day providing for lceuslug inaurauce brokers. ‘The same Comumittes also called upou Rfor the pirpore af eetting forth at The Tien their objections tothe ordinance bn Tle pres forms. Conelely stated, (hey are as fellas: "Tho first ecction of the ordinance provides that “Any person other than an authorized In- surance-acent holding a commission from the State of Hiinols who acts or aids in any mauner In negotiating contracts of instirance or relnsur- surance, or placing risks, or effecting Insurance ‘or relnsurance, except for himself, or in care of anattorney-at-law fora cent or general agent for his principal asan Inctdcnt of hla emplos- ment a9 such attorney or general agent, and re- ceiving a commission or compensation therefor, shall jo deemed for the purposes of this ordl- nance an ‘insurance broker.’ ”. They state that, when the draft of the ordl- nance was originally submitted to the Council, it wan stated to thetn that it had nothing ‘in it regarding attorneys or general agents. These cluuses were Interpolntlons, the effect of which is to discriminate unjustly against them. ‘Their position fs, In brief, that any pereun who re- eelvesn commission or pay tn any form for placing Insurance fs an Insurance broker. They say that numbers of lawyers are In the habit of laving insurance elther on property over which hey have control or for thelr clients; that these lawyers charge and receive a commission for so doing, and orc to that extent Insurance brokers, ‘They state also that a reqularly au- thorized agent of a company tay bave an ap plication made to him to place Insurance to the Amount of $10,000. He places $10,000 of that with the company he representa, being all of the risk which that company wanta to carry. The remaining $30,000 he then distributes around among other agents, and receives his eommis- afon forao doing. And, therefore, they claim thut he Isto that extent an insurance “broker. 8a wlit they want Is to have this first ecction atnended by striking out allof these distinc tions, which they claim are invidious, and com- pelling avery pera. who reeelyes = pay jor placing’ insurance to take out a leense as au Insurance — broker, or ff he fails to do It, then ho beconies amenable to the penalties provided by the ordinance. If this. were done, they say that they would have no objection to the ordinance, and that they bad none when it was originally aubmitted. "They revognize the wisdom of freezing out THNSE Ut ‘ONSIBLE DIROKERS: who have reflected discredit upon the profes- sion, and they sce tliat this can be done by means of chariging a license fee. They consider 3100 excessive os compared with the charges in some other businesses, as. for Instance, the Joon Henge, which {6 852, But they perceive and admit that, if only 50 were charged, anun- ber of these Irresponsible people would beuble to raise that much inoney, and would still continas in business, So they are willing to pay $100, provided everybody else pays. But they clain that it would ‘not be fair to make twenty-five or thirty Prone pay £100 cach for the sake of get- ting a Heense, and yet allow ‘agents, attorneys, und Tom, Dick, and Harry to do business with- out any necessity for a license, They state further that the ordinance.in its present form {s full of loopholes and cannot bo enforced, It ie perfectly casy for every onc of them to get a commission ‘as. ngeut for sume eompany which would cnable then to carry on their: business without any fear of the Jaw... Even they were to nttempt to conform to It, it ts so full of weak points that hundréds of others would slip through {ts meshes, and the duly-authorized brokers would yet no more business than they did before, and would not be protected i any way ugainst tholoterference with thelr business by tcse unauthorized partica, ‘They deny the statement published in yester- day's paper to the effect that agents of insur- ance companies payatax., They state that oll the chiarges finposed on insurance here, whether the 2 per cent tax which the city collects or the asecesuient made tu malntain the Fire Patrol, come ipon the companies themselves, aud not upon.the agents; that the agents pay nothing In the way of Heense, nothing In the way of special tax, and yct are all the while acting ss insuraneebrokera. They would .niso like to have the ordinance amended by the: insertion of a provision that any person doing business with an unlicensed broker, knowing him to be suels, shall algo be subjected toa Ane. They claim that were this not done, many ogents would take business from whatever quarter it came, no matter whether the person bringing it had or had not a Neense. For the protection of the Heensed brokers, tt would be imperative that the ordi- nance should be thus amended. Were theac changes made they would take no exception whateverto this provision, and would he the first to step up, pay their fees, ana cet their document. An idea of the duties of a broker may bo gathered from the following extract from a clr- cular fssued by one of them: Not being connected with any particular com- pany, I keep fully posted in regard to the standing of all compuntes,und do not hesitate to Inform my patrons ay soon as Any question ari regarding the soundness of any company. Constltuted by Jow ant the polley, the agent of the assured, I aia alive to the Dest Interests of my customers.

Hy the provisions of the pallcy the broker fade jure nnd de facto the ageut of the assured, not the {nsurcr, The polley ts delivered to him by tho legal representatives of the company to be by hlm turned over to the fmsured on pay- ment tu him of the agreed premium. The pulley bas no binding fureo ‘until paid Jor to the coni- pany or its Irgal representative. This leaves the supposed insured cutirely at the mercy of the broker, who, if he be dishonest;—ond niany havo beeu,—pockets tho money. ‘This vitlates the pollcy and leaves the holder without the slightest protection. It fs customary for many brokers dolng busl- ners in this city to place large ines of insur ance with companies which have no teval status inthis State, have never complied with its laws, and are utterly unknown to the Insurance De- partment, With these companies the brokers keep running accounts, making remittances whenever they {cel likeit. No schedule, as a rule, accompant heso remittances, ludicating tu what policies they shall be credited. A biz fro comes along; the broker is indebted to the company to a greater or less ex- tent; demund for indemnity is mado by the — polley-holder, and the company cheerfully responds, “You have no clatin agalnat us; we find on our bouks no recorl of your having pald fur the policy, and wo won't pay your Joas.”” ‘The lusured produces the bro- er’s receipt. The company says: “Hye wus your agent, and to hin you must look for pay ment.” Itisnause to sue. Nothing can be collected. . Hence If, as the broxers say, the ordinance will compel them to get commissions aa azents, it will achieve one good thing, It will throw tho onus of the business ou the com- panlea, whlch will then be held responsible for thu actions of the brokers, and thus ratialy the ueured that bla pollcy is avtually what it ry to bo—absulute protection. The objection to the attorucya or general agents of the insured has no force. They are Ju law the same as principals. ‘They pay the compantes direct for the pollefes, which are in the tames of tho principals. If the insurance companies sce fit to allow them % comunission, it ia their privilege tudo so. There are num- erous perauns In Chicago who, wactheras owners of goods or houses, require lurge Hues of In- surance.

An old opera munuger, Spent of the Patti scandal the other night, said that it recalled the historyof Gris! That great efnger left her hus- band, one De Meley, au Itallan, to Hye with Marlo. ‘The husbund did not atiletto him, nor even try to, bit took her carnings, or a goat share of them, by deerce of court, with admira- bic punctuality.

He was born in Now Milford, Conn., and came to this city in 18%, at the time belng, tt was thought, about 20 years ofsze. If this be correct, his oge ut the time of his death was $4 years, Mr, Brooks was of a very modest and retiring disposition, and that iaone reason why be was so little known during the last few yeara to the geueral public. He tirat went into business here In the manufacture of woolen cloth, and afterward became a merchant, doing business Iu a store west of the present Arcago entrance Forty veara oho retired . from active business, and sluce then bas been engaged merely In Jnycating his money to tha best ad- vantage and looking after his real estate. Being unmarried, and haying na family to look after, he amussed, alarge fortune, about 820U,- 000 of which be ave sectetly to we 7eral worthy and public inutitutions, He was the mysteriour gentteman who, through Prof. Ward, bestowed $120,000 upon the University of Virginia at Monticello, It was also he who guve $10,000 tu the Rochester City Hospital lust year, and the unknown friend who would not allow his name tobe mude public, who gave $10,000 to St. Mary's Hospital. In o sitaflar manner he also ave secretly $5,000to the Industrial School and $5,000 to ths Fomale Charitable Society, He thus carried out the Scripture injunction— “Hut when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right band doeth, that thine alms may bo in secret.” Ils gifts tothe Virginia University were luduced by bis desire tovommemorate tho home of Jefferson, who was a friend of his family.
