T
Thefts Here Warrant Proposed
Rise, Chargo Companios.
Motorists Deny It
NOT TRUE, SAYS SOUDER
Automobile men and insurance com
panies differ on tho justice ot the pro
posed increase in motorcar insurance
rates of from 40 to 00 per cent.
Insurance companies declare that the
largo number ot thefts particularly
in Philadelphia the increased fires,
nnd carelessness in driving pre drain
ing their resources.
Automobile owners insist that these
are old excuses and will not hold
water.
In line with the latter. Captain Sen
der, of the city detective force, declared
today that Philadelphia, instead of hav
ing one of the worst records in the
country, has one of the best.
"Only 105 cars stolen during 101P
have not yet been recovered." he suid
today. "That is no excuse for n boost
in rates, is it?
''So far this year only twelve automo
biles stolen remain lost. We arc, in
fact, losing yerv few enrs. We are. not
ashamed of our losses, for cars will be
Rtnlrn. hut we are nroud of our re
coveries of these btoleu machines. If the
insurance companies want to boost rates
only on account of losses in this city,
they have a flimsy excuse indeed."
It. J. Mullen, manager of the Auto
mobile Owners' Indemnity Exchange, of
this city, said a decision on an in
crease in rates would be reached
when the heads of the big automobile
insurance companies hold their confer
ence ip Chicago in February.
Thefts ot ears nave renencu suc(i
proportions that wc have no margin of j
profit left to work on." he said today, j
"Incidentally, they are worse in Phil- I
adelphin. und I believe in New York, j
Uian in any other city in which wc do
business. Our losses in this city are
far ahead of Detroit, Pittsburgh, lialti
more, or other cities."
The insurance men declare thefts
of cars throughout the country amount
to .?r?5, 000,000 a yenr. Loss by tire and
accidents, due to reckless driving, has
inereused greatly, they say.
A. B. Maltby. a prominent, member
of the Automobile Trade Association of
Philadelphia, declared that an in
crease in rates is entirely unjustified.
"I suppose they are like everjoouy
else," he said. "If they can see their
way clear-to increase rates they will
go ahead and do it, regardless.
"As a matter of fact, tho automobile
insurance companies are making more
money than ever before. They lire
writing more policies, their incomes
arc larger than ever. This cry about
'more accidents, more thefts and more
fires' is 'an old one to us, Wc have
heard it many times before.'.

HARRY SHAW TO GET JOB
Senator David Mitrtin's recent blast
at Independents nnd reformers cost the
job of another of his Nineteenth ward
followers today, the axe being swung
by Sheriff Robert E. Lamberton.
The man dropped from the pnjroll is
Charles J. Muschert, a deputy sheriff
in charge of the Municipal Court work
at Twelfth and Wood streets. Martin
several weeks ago asked for the reten
tion of Muschert and other employes
in the sheriff's office.
Martin's henchman will be succeeded
by Harry Shaw, a Fortieth ward In
dependent, who was a Washington party
city committeeman wljen tho Roosevelt
movement was in progress.
Shortly after Senator Martin had re
quested the sheriff to retnin Nineteenth

Sheriff Lamberton retorted that if

the senator could not expect that his
followers would be tolerated hy the
sheriff.
The dismissal of Muschert was re
garded by Moore supporters ns further
proof that Mr. Lamberton intends to
back up the Major to the limit. Mayor
Moore has stated that if ward leaders
