"READ YOUR POLICY," GOOD THING TO DO GRIEG’S MUSICAL SETTING TO “PEER GYNT”AS GREAT AS IBSEN’S WORD PAINTING T WO NE W INSURANCE CO. ’S ESTABLISH AGENCIES IN THE CIT Y OF A PLANT A Music and Drama Are United For First Time in America in Mansfield’s Great Production. Aza's Death** Solveigs Song President Isaac H. Hamilton of the Fedtral Life* Insurance Company, of Chicago, t/lalted tho office of Comptrol ler •General William A. Wright this week to mdke preparations for enter ing hla company In Georgia. When seen by a representative of The Geor gian, Mr. Hamilton stated that ho had not considered establishing the head quarters of the company In any other city of the state than Atlanta. The Federal Is a well established old line, legal reserve company and recently took over In addition to Us own busi- ncis, that of tho Chicago Life; which was represented In Atlanta by Pierce. Maddox A Pierce, who subsequently signed a contract to manage the Re liance Life In Georgia. The Federal has taken every step to protect the former policy holders of the Chicago, and Us entrance to Georgia is to that end, as It will make the statutory de posit.here and have Its own stair for the writing of business and the collec tion of premiums together with the payment of cD.lms. Another life Insurance company which will be new to the Georgia Held Is the United American Life, of Phila delphia, which has filed papers with the Georgia Insurance deportment nnd will begin business about January 1. This company has a cash capital of 3100,000 and a surplus to policy hold ers of 3118.080. It writes only on the legal reserve plan and has very liberal forms of policy. It Is it young compa ny, being established.only since March of this year, but It has already met with much success. Francis It. Reeves. Jr., Is president and John M. Muir, secretary. As far ea can be learned at present, the company has not ap pointed any representatives for the state. Anitras Dance* _ ^ In the Wall of the AIou/wwn King * /FORMING PASTORAL' PeerGynt’s Serenade-. ATLANTA IS OUTGROWING CIT Y'S FIRE INSURA NCE FACILITIES, SA YS DICKEY Atlanta Is outgrowing Its fire insur ance facilities, according to the opinion of Jamea L. Dickey, Jr., one of the best- known of the local agents of the city. "The rapid Increase In values In Ibe mercantile district," says Mr. Dickey, "has outrun the ability of the fire In surance agent* of the town to give ade quate protection and It Is probable that a number of new fire Insurance com panies will be attracted to thla city during tho coming year on account of thla shortage and the demands of local agents for more facilities." Inquiry among other local fir* In surance ofilces showed this fact to no generally true. White most of the of fice* can handle ordinarily any. buslno-d which comes to them, some of the largo lines In the big mercantile houses are becoming very difficult to distribute properly, as none of the companies will take over certain amounts on any one risk. As the statistics of the city bank clearings demonstrate, the moneyed value of Atlanta Is advancing by leans and bounds, and the Increased demand for protection follows It. A BUREAU FOR GENERAL INSURANCE ADJUSTMENT TO BE ESTABLISHED HERE SOME OK* THE PRINCIPAL THEMES IN GRIEG'S "PEER GYNT" SUITES. nomi* “Peer Gynt” for yenr* bat mount to tho public nothin? more than ox* qiilalto music, f oiupotctl by Kihv.ird Grit*?, tho Norwegian, amt played by tho great oyinphony and concert orchestra* of tbe world. The few of broader culture and Information knew the meaning of the four heads to tho divisions of the suite: "Morn lug,” “Are's Death," "Anltra’a Daure" ami "The Ilall of the Mountain King.’ They knew Grieg found his Inspiration In lofty poetic drama by Henrik Ibsen, Peer Gynt" by name, phases of which he translated Into hla tone poem, and thesr knew ntao of » second suite, “peer Gynt, " " " "Ingrid's ’Tears lloiiie-Couilng." ment In producing *Tcer Gynt" dramatic stage, where ft has been a strnn* AND KEPT SECRET OP HIS IDENTITY An Important pointer for purchasers of accident Insurance to obeerve In securing their policies, Is to note whether tho form they are buying fur niehes the greateet possible protection against the moet probable loss, or whether It affords the most spectacular provisions tor indemnity against con tingencies which are really remote. The difference le apparent when stated In thla way, but some of the contracts ore not very explicit upon these points and the Insured would do well to examine them. Some accident policies, fortu nutcly not many, are quite obviously mode up after a search of claim rec ords for the character of loss or claim least frequently experienced and mos: ■ emote of possibility. A provision for such a possibility Is then put Into tho contract and Is elaborately featured and Illustrated as an "advance" In ac cident underwriting. The more simple an accident policy Is, nnd tho more common overy-day accidents It pro vide* against, the better It Is. These things can oc easily picked out by those who xead their policies before buying. The motto, "read your policy" Is plainly printed on policies by many companies, but It ought to read, "read the policy before It la yours.’’ Such a course In purchasing any kind of In surance should be a universal practice In no other line of business. It le safe to -ray, does the Insurer depend so im plicitly upon the agent In signing up for a contract that may mean a great deni to him, whether fire, life or acci dent Insurance, and the hint Is a val uahle one.

Powell was placed on trial this morning In the superior court on the charge of larceny from the Ocean Steamship Company's wharves. The case Is being tried before Jadge Cann. It Is probable that the verdict will be one of acquittal, since the verdict In two similar cases yesterday was ac* oulttaL noon after having examined nearly fif ty witnesses. The defense will probably conclude tonight and'"the arguments begin on tomorrow and will consume the whole day. A verdict can hardly be reached before Saturday. The state rested Its case upon the track of Sasser's horse, claimed leading to the scene of the homicide, and the presence of the prisoner near Parker's home on the night of the killing. The state Introduced a number of witnesses to prove Improper relations between Sasser and Mrs. Parker, the wife of the deceased, and bad feeling between the defendant and the murdered man. music.

It Is rcgaided ns probable by many Arc Insurance men of Atlanta that within a short time steps will be taken at Atlanta for the formation of a gen eral adjustment bureau for the South in which most of the companies op erating In Georgia and the adjoining states will be Interested, as stockhold ers. The recent opening of an office for tho Underwriters Salvage Company at Atlanta, which Is operated also by tho companies themselves, has further in creased the probability of such an or ganization which may, it Is stated, be Adjustments In'the South have dur ing the paat been handled either by special agents of the companies them selves, or independent adjusters, of which there are several very competent one* who make Atlanta their head quarters. Losses this season in the South have been particularly heavy, however, and at each loss under tho present arrangement, two or more ad justers are usually present, represent ing different companies. It is thought that If a number of the adjusters could be brought to Join In this movement, It would not only distribute the work more equitably among them, but each loss could be handled by one man at a run In connection with that business, very great saving to the insurance as the two are very closely related. companies in Consequence.
