THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
BATURDAY. JUNE 3, IV*.
MAY BE DISSOLVED
AND NEW FORMEI
Atlan>a - Birmingham
Fire Ins. Directors
Session.
in
To dissolve the Atlanta-BIrmlngham
rira Insurance Company, of Atlanta.
Milton A. Dsrgan, president, and form
a netv company for the carrying on of
the business done by the old one and
to ray the losses Incurred by the com
pany In the San Francisco disaster. Is
be eved to be the ultimate outcome of
the meeting of the directors and stock
holders of the company which Is being
held Saturday In the convention hall of
th' piedmont hotel.
For several days rumors regarding
this matter have been In circulation,
as veil as have others regarding the
change to be made In the board of
din--tors and ofllcers. When ths meet
ing was called to order Saturday morn
ing fifty of the stockholders were pres
em from all parts of the South, al
though a majority reside In Atlanta
and Birmingham. Absolute secrecy
»« maintained throughout the ses
si"ii. which was behind locked doors.
It Is known that there has been con
slderable feeling among those Inter'
esicd In the Atlsnta-Blrmlngham Com
pony for some time regarding the set'
tlcment of the Skn Francisco losses.
Ths recent report which was current,
receding the denial of liability alleged
to have been made by the local com
pany, has been denied by President
Dm van In the following Interview:
"Nobody but a fool would have made
a general denial of liability, situated
s.- the Atlanta-HIrmlngham was, as It
would not only cut us off from all In-
vcMlgnlIon of claims made against the
company, but would have precipitated
si once lawsuits for any and every
claim In ‘Frisco against us.
"We are not only willing, but have
been anxious all along, to pay every
cent we Justly owe under our policies
lit 'Frisco, even If it tskes the last
(P'llnr we have, and we have never had
eriy other Idea and never will.
"At large expense we sent as strong
a lot of men as there la In the busi
ness, and as there Is on the coast, to
'Frisco to Investigate, adjust and pay
nil claims In cash as toon as adjust
ed. and to meet such claims wo ar
ranged In advance for a large sum of
ready money with our bankers, payable
in 'Frisco, before I or any of my men
proceeded there.
Ready to Meet Claims,
“The Atlsnta-Blrmlngham Is now,
nn'l has been, ready to meet every
claimant In 'Frisco and pay them every
dollar tlmt Is due them under our con
tract, for even where liability Is que*
ihumble we have been ready and will
ing at all times to settle on a reason'
able compromise and avoid litigation
which Is In line with our previous his
tory os a company."
It la believed that If the old company
In dissolved and the assets used for the
payment of the Ban Francisco losses,
a settlement of from 10 to 75 cente on
the dollar will be offered stockholders

The president of Bagwell's Business
College and School of Shorthand, 111
Peachtree strent, this city, accepts an
open challenge of 11,000 Just made by
a competitive school, and he proposes
to prove by actual testa every claim
which he has made for the new Char'
tier system of shorthand, which ht la
teaching.
The claim was made by both Mr. L.
C. Spencer, prc.ldent of the Charller
Spencer Publishing Company, and J.
O. Bagwell, president of Bagwelr* Bus
Iness college, that pupil* of ordinary
abllty would, after one week'a study,
writs 100 words per minute (practice
matter) an'd read their notes without
hesitation.
We anticipated that some might be
skeptical to our claim, so we Invited
the public. A large number attended,
and If any wefe not satlsffed that the
claims, had bean fully met they never
let the fact be known. Every one ex
pressed surprlte and amassment at the
results obtained. It In somewhat nig'
nlflcant that our doubting competitors
above referred to did not attend the
demonstration to see for themselves If
the facts had been misrepresented.
Proposition No. 1.
His first proposition Is as follows:
“It was stated In his advertisement
that pupils would write 100 words per
minute after one week’s trial course.
It has been three weeks since his
class commenced, and If ho will now
produce a pupil who had no knowledge
of shorthand prior to June 4, who will
take our dictation In average com
mercial matter at the rale of 100 worda
per minute for three consecutive min
utes, and read the asm* back correct
ly, we will give him *150.”
We accept thla proposition with the
understanding that ho conflne himself
to the statement of our claims as origi
nally made by u* which appeared In
the dally papers, nnd are as follows:

the subject carefully In Montgomery.
After their derision, which will not bo
announced for some time yet, if at all,
the papers and their findings were
turned over to the officials of the Cen
tral of Georgia, who will go over tho
same matter next week. A Joint meet
ing will then be held and some decision
arrived at If possible.
It Is thought by local officials that
the matter win be given to a board of
arbitration for settlement In order that
there inay be- no question os to th*
fairness of the llnnl decision. Th*
large nmount of money Involved In th*
suits filed since the accident has rather
alarmed the officials of both roads, who
will move carefully before taking any
decisive step.
