PS ^ i ' \ AUTO INSURANCE LOSSES MOUNT Risk Companies Worried at Growth In Payments?Often Exceeds Car's Value \ New York Sun. Insurance companies of New York are agitated over the question of what is to be done in the matter of issuing policies covering the loss of automobiles, in view of recent developments which tend to show that the owners of cars stolen have noj special desire to have them returned after collecting the amount of insurance, which often exceeds the value of the machine itself. In many cases it has been shown that where the manufacturers have reduced the prices of their cars the i ) i insurance companies are still carrying policies which, if compelled by reason of losa of the oar to pay, means that the company is paying more than the car is worth. In the meantime, the loss ratio is climbing higher and higher. Traffic " * ?SVI?. JwifTdM *171. congestion, irrespviiaiuic umuo, ? apprehended auto thief hands, crowded courts and increase in women drivers and over-insurance are given as few of the reasons for the tieavy losses sustained. In regard to the valued form, one of the leading underwriters on the street said today: "The so-called valued form of 'automobfle fire and theft insurance has made the situation more serious, particularly by reason of the fact that it was customary for brokers and their clients to obtain from companies the liiriipjit nossible amount they would write, and competitive conditions between companies lend aid to such efforts. 1 "The result has been an almost universal overinsurance of cars. Practically all insurance companies dis:ontihued the valued form policy writings of auto, fire and theft to the ion-valued basis, which provides an igreementin advances as to the value >? the car to continue for the term of /he policy. "The point with broken is not so nuch the discontinuance of the valled. form (admittedly a move to :onserve interest of all concerned,) is it is the imperative need right low to reduce materially in amounts he insurance in force and the writng of new policies contemplating a 'air amount of insurance is repre tenting fair reimbursement to the tssured of his loss if one should be rartained."

G O GOOD KILLERS FORM TRUST New Organisation Effects Death of i Eighty*5eren. New York, Aug. 18.?'Clews that will lead to the arrest of members of i the murder trust responsible for eighty-seven killings in this city, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, etc., , have ibeen given the police by three of the seven men of the "Bonventre" band in confessions today. The men were arrested Tuesday < night and told their stories today under pressure. These revealed Specifically. Implication in or knowledge of six t vendetta murders in this city in the > past twelve months. Connection with at least 7 'sudden > deaths' in Detroit. ... I Indications of seventy-three murders in middle western cities having been instigated by the "hidden hand." A fund of half a million dollars for defense of members arrested for < murder. * The gang here is said to be orga- 1 nized in groups of fifteen. Forty members of these groups are known the police say, and the arrest of the men responsible for recent mysteri- < ous killings will be known soon. i (Police agents disguised as pusft cart peddlers and Immigrants are i swarming in "Little Italy" to pre- : vent the escape of the -suspects. i Four of the seven men under ar- i rest declare the confession of Bartolo Fontana, by which the workings i of the murder trust were disclosed is pure fabrication. Two of therm have corroborated the details. Fohtant formerly a Detroit baiter j made the disclosures in his confes- : sion of the murder ot a friend in a : lonely "wood near Avan, N. J., on July 30. He was moved by remorse; he said, ne aeciarea ne was acting under orders of "the fcood killers."' Immediately following the confession tlie police sent telegrams to the scenes of (many unsolved murders. The first arrest came in a few hours Salvatore Gigrazo, was taken at Avan, N. J., where he Is accused of conducting a murder farm. It wae here Fontant murdered his friend. The seven others under arrest are chaged with complicity in this killing although the police expect to connect them with man of the series of homicides. Detroit police consider Fontana's story the first tangible clew they have to .the wave, of bombing outrages and murders which have swept through the local Italian quarter during the last four years. They believe they are at last on the trail of the men responsible for seventy mysterious killings since 1917. Five of the victims of the saner have, already! (been identified from reports telegraphed from this city. The men under arrest were coin- , mitted to the Tomlbs to await extra- < dition to New Jersey. i Fontana has declared the gang 1 operators under orders received < from its headquarters in Italy. The ( brains of the gang on this side of the < Atlantic are said to be 'known and t their arrest is momentarily expected. 1 MASTER'S SALE ' The Stat* of South Carolina, COUNTY OF ABBEVILLE!. 1 Court of Common Pleas.

Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 18.?Arrival of a trunk her# late last night consigned from San Francisco to Mrs. Madalynne* Obenchaln, held in Jail here on a charge of murder, and the subsequent attempt of the sheriff's office to seize it as possible evidence against her, -was the signal for. a "fighting announcement" today by her attorney, Ralph R.
