TO PAY, OR NOT TO PAY.
Informal Meeting of the Stock
holders of the Bepnhlio
Insurance Company
Discussion of the Best Modes
of Settling with Policy-
Holders.
Strong Opposition to the Action
of the Executive Committee*
A Disposition to Pay Losses and
Discontinue the Company.
An informal meeting of the Directors and stock
holders of the Republic Fire Insurance Company
was held on yesterday at Hunnoni* Hall, Nos.
Os and TSWest Lake street. The meeting was held
in response to a call by tho Secretary of the com
pany, J. R. Payson, and for the purpose of taking
action with reference to the affairs of the organi
zation. more especially as to the liquidation of tho
liabilities resulting from the Chicago lire. Delo.
gates were present to the number of about two
hundred, representing branches in the States of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, lowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska.
Mr. A. Dudgeon was called to tho chair, and Mr.
Payson acted as Secretary. During the forenoon
session the principal bnsiness transacted was the
organization of the meeting, and the presentation
of a statement of the condition of tho company’s
affairs by the Secretary, from which it
appeared that the total cash as
sets of the Republic amount to $512,000,
while tho liabilities are about $2,000,000 in excess
of that sum, and are divided among nearly four
teen hundred policy-holders. Of the capital stock
of $5,000,000,20 per cent has been paid up, requir
ing an assessment of 50 per cent upon the remain
iug unpaid stock to meet liabilities, without refer
ence to the further continuing of the company in
business.
A recess -was taken until 2 o’clock in tlio after
noon, at which hour tho meeting reassembled in
larger numbers than before- Owing to the fact
that no rule was adopted requiring each gentle
man to announce his name and residence on rising
to address the Chair, there was much confusion,
it happening in a majority of cases that the Chair
himself did not know the names of gentlemen
ottering resolutions or debating propasitions. For
this reason we are forced to omit names in many
instances.
A resolution, to the effect that the representa
tives from the various branches express their
views, each speaker occupying not more than
three minutes, was voted down.
It was then suggested that the meeting defer
until the arrival of Judge Miller, of Chicago, the
attorney of the company, who was momentarily
expected, and who was prepared to give much
needed information.
A gentleman offered a resolution providing that
the Secretary state the amount necessary to be
assessed to pay the debts of the company, and
that such amount be assessed and paid, together
with an estimated amount, by the Secretary, of
the stock which cannot be collected. This was
tabled.
A gentleman from lowa staled that this was
not a regularly called meeting, and many of tho
branches were not represented. There was no
legal authority for tho calling of the meeting bv
Secretary Payson.Jand it was doubtful whether
any action.of this meeting would bo legally bind
ing. There was also a legal question as to the
increase of capital stock from 81,000,000 to $3,000,-
000, which was done by the Directors, without
the approval or consent of tho stockholders. He
had no doubt that there would boa disposition
to shirk payment upon that stock if It were
shown to have been illegally issued.
A gentleman from Peru, Ind., said that from
the statement of the Secretary it appeared that
the Republic had been doing a losing business
from last January up to the time of the Chicago
i 6 lll stockholders had a right to consider
whether they should continue in existence an
institution so badly managed and unprofitable.
At this point Judge Miller arrived in the hall,
and on taking the platform proceeded to explain
why the call for the meeting had been issued.
About two weeks after the fire the legal lirm of
which he was a member had been retained as
counsel for the company. The great questions
were, as to the relations between tho stockhold
ers Were the stockholders
liable i No notes had been given, and it had been
confidently expected that they would never be
called upon to ]>ay the remaining 60 per cent
The plain conclusion was, that stock
■jiolrt££& were liable for this 80 per cent of the
stock, which must be regarded as so much funds
in the hands of the Executive Committe, whoso
legal duty it was to collect the money and pay it
over to the creditors of the company. If tho
stockholders refrained from doing this, then the
conn’s must do it. It had
been decided by the Executive
Committee to go on and pay all claims. After
this decision had been reached, the Attorney
General of the State began a suit against the com
pany forthe appointment of a Receiver to conduct
ns affairs, but on learning the intention of the
Executive Committee the Attorney General said
he would postpone his application, and delay
further action. The Executive Committee, called
together in Chicago from all parts of the country,
decided not to make the call upon the stockhold
ers at once, but to go home first and consult their
constituents. They adjourned for ten days for
that purpose, but at about that time a great
clamor was raised against the company
in the public press, and a hos
tile public opinion was created. On
the Wednesday following the adjournment of the
committee Judge Miller w.as informed by Gen
eral Smith that ne had received .a telegram from
the Attorney General, directing him to proceed
at nice against the company. The speaker and
Judge Murphy went immediately to Springfield,
and met the Stale Auditor, who said that he de
sired to be relieved from any interference with
the affairs of the company, and if it would per
form its duty to its creditors he would be re
lieved from much embarrassment in the
matter. Judge Miller returned with a letter to
General Smith, directing him to post
pone for two weeks proceedings against
the company. It was then found that a warrant
hod been issued from the United States Court,
and that the property of the company had been
seized. They succeeded, however, in removing
all obstacles and in retaining the affairs of the
company in the control of its officers. The Ex
ecutive Committee then made a call of stock to
be paid iu on the isiii of December, and decided
to call in the Soper cent in installments of 10 per
cent per month. A copy of the resolution to this
effect was sent to the Slate Auditor, who replied
that it was entirely satisfactory to mm.
The purpose had been to keep the affairs
of the company in the hands of the proper offi
cers, audio keep out of the courts and prevent
litigation. In the meantime pnblicsentiment had
changed, and the creditors entertained the most
kindly leelings toward the company. The Repub
lic was in the way of paying out more money
thansnv other Chictgo company had done or
was likely to do, and if it could preservers credit
it would’ therebv make for itself a reputation
which would be of vast benefit in. Its future busi
ness.
A gentleman inquired as to whether liabilities
bought up by stockholders could be presented
for pavxuent’by them in lieu of stock deficits.
Judge Miller replied that he did not think that
the Executive Committee was bound to receive
sucb payments, forthe reason that claims against
the company were payable before the stock
was.
The inquiry was made: "If the company should
go into bankruptcy, what would be the prospect
lor puliev-bolders
Judge Miller said, in reply, that if the com
pany should be thrown into bankruptcy its assets
■would have to be sold for what they would bring,
and, if through any concerted scheme, a ring
should buy up the assets, the policy-holders
would only get the proceeds of the sale, and the
purchasers would then realize from the stock
holders.
4 In that case,” suggested a gentleman, the
policv-holders would do better to take seventy
live cents on the dollar from the company, to pay
which an assessment of 40 per cent would be suffi
cient.”
That question,” said the Judge, “is for your*
selves as businessmen to settle.”
Was Ibis a legal meeting I was asked.
Judge Miller understood it to bo. merely an in
formal meeting, assembled for tho purpose of
cutting at certain facts.
How about liability in caso of a transfer of
stock was another inquiry.
Judge Miner replied that according to the char
ter a transferor stock must appear on the books of
the company. If A transferred stock to B with
out its appearing on the books, the transaction
was validasbetween A and B.piut A wassull liable
to the company stock. If, however, the transfer
were in duo form, then B was responsible.
A gentleman said he had understood Secretary
Parson to say that about $2,000,000 would be
neccf-sary to meet liabilities, but ho wanted to
know something more concerning the manner in
which the capital stock of the company had been
inert ased trom $1,0(0,000 to $5,000,000.
The Secretary stated that this was done by a
vote of the Dlrectois at a regular annual meet
ing, held January 0,18G9, a majority of stock be
ing represented at that meeting.
Mr. Clark said it was a grave question whether
the stockholders were legally bound by that ac
tion oi the Directors, which, he believed, was
■without due authority according to the charter.
This view of the case was strengthened by tbo
fact that the charter was subsequently amended
so as to give the Directors the'power to increase
the ca filial stock, from which it must be inferred
that, previous to its amendment, the charter did
not give them that power.
Mr. Howland, of lowa, said that it was useless
for stockholders to try to crowd through that
loophole. If the power to increase the capital
Mock was conveyed by the original charter, it
made no difference whether it was done bj the
Moekholdcrs themselves, or by thmr properly
constituted officers, the Directors. As Ion? as
the act of the Directors hadgbeen rotitied and up
proven by the stockholders in accepting the stock
and voting it, ilarc was no possibility of cocapc
on the plea of illegal issue. T
Judge Mdier took precisely the same view, ii
the stockholders knew* of the increase, ana
acquiesced in it I»3* receiving and voting tun
Mock, it was not possible for them to escape
rtspoiifibility on such grounds.
A gentleman inquired •whether, if after the
payment of existing liabilities, tho stockholder
was legally bound to continue as such. It had
been showed, he said, that the Republic was a
badly managed am) unprofitable institution, and
lie, lor one, was not disposed to continue the sup
port of a company whoso officers took extra haz
ardous risks in Chicago for four mills, and exact
ed one and one-half per cent ou much better risks
in country towns. The people of his section felt
this tl ing keenly, and ho could give assurance
that they would resist any assessment which con
templated the continuance of tho company in
1,: Absolution was offered, providing for the ap
•uointmeut of a committee of one from each State
to negotiate with policy-holders with a view to a
C °Mr! l Dietrich, of Galesburg, said that, as a
member of the Executive Committee, ho had
e( n number of policy-holders, and proposed
to way them seventy-live cents on the dollar, and
he had been uniformly met with the answer that
tbev were not disposed to take three-quarters
m mu thev could get the whole of their claims.
The Executive Committee had come to the con
clusion that the company could not avoid the
puymcii’, of its liabilities in foil, and for tins rea
eon the committee had made the assessment of 80
per cent.
A resolution was offered directing the Secretary
to call a meeting of policy-holders and all others
holding claims against the company, said meet
ing to be held between now and the annual moot
ing in January, for the purpose of coming to some
agreement; the sum agreed upon to bo paid by
February 1, 1872, and the stockholders to pay
promptly the assessment falling due on the 15th
off December.
secretary Payson said that if the company
wanted to compromise with the policy-holder it
must have some money to pay him when ho pre
sented his claim.
Mr. McClellan, of Crawfordsville, In<L, moved
the passage of a resolution expressive of tho
sense of tho meeting that tho Executive Commit
tee should change its assessment, aud that a call
be made of 50 per cent on all outstanding
stock, tho money to be expended in the payment
of losses.
Mr. Wells, of Quincy, said that if this resolu
tion were adopted it would throw the company
into bankruptcy within forty-cighfhours Ho

the prompt payment of 40 per cent on their stock
[Cries of •‘yea,’’“yes.”J “I. for one,” said ho
“can’t promise that my constituents will par anv
such amount.” J J
Mr. Howland, of Keokuk, didn’t believe that 40

ary 3. There were a large number of stockhold
ers who didn’t propose to pav if they conid help
it, and many others who couldn’t pay if they
110 ov edthc passage of a substitute,
approving and ratifying the action of tho Execu
te Committee, of November 3, in making a call
of 80 per cent, payable in installments of 10 per
cent per month. “This done,” ho added, “we
stand clear of the courts and of tho thousand
suits which will bo begun. Wo can seo how the
people respond, and at the annual meeting take
other action, if necessary.”
Mr. Blackman said that there was no fear of
bankruptcy until it could be shown that the
funds of the company had been misappropriated.
The Secretary had said that 40 per cent was
enough to pay all liabilities. Then why ask for
80 per centt If the stockholders were con
vinced that 40 per cent was enough, all
would respond, bat there should be no uncertain
ty. The people wanted to wind up the affairs of
the company, and drop the whole thing. Collect
enough to pay everything, but don’t leave the
company free to go on and waste anv mo-io
money.
A resolution was offered providing fora com
mittee of live, of which tho Treasurer, W. F.
Coolbaugb, should be one, to adjust ana settle all
Chicagolosses, andto make an assessment not ex
ceeding 40 per cent, payable within fifteen days.
Mr. Chase, of LaFayette, said it would bo im
possible to bring about a concert of action among
the policy-holders. Tho company must come
down to a square business platform. It would bo
impossible to adjust all tho losses by the Ist of
January, and to set aside the action of the Ex
ecutive Committee would be to throw
everything into confusion. It was not
expected that the whole of the 80 per cent would
be paid in. The call was maae to show the
people that the Republic meant to pay its debts.
When those debts were paid no moro money
would be called in.
Mr. McClellan said that if the call of the Exec
utive Committee went before the .stockholders
they would resist it. They would pav what was
necessary to meet the liabilities, but not a cent to
continue the company in existence. Ho moved
the passage of a resolution to the effect that the
Executive Committee call for an amount suffi
cient to pay losses, and no more.
Mr. Carney, of Kansas City, explained that the
making of the call for 80 per cent at the time
they did, was the only act by which the Execu
tive Committee could keep the company out of
the courts. At the ensuing annual meeting the
exact amount of liabilities could be ascertained,
and it could then be determined what cause to
pursue.
Mr. Chase suggested that all differences might
be harmonized by tho passage of a resolution
by which no more money shall bo called in after
enough is paid to settle losses.
A gentleman thought it would bo unwise to
declare that the company proposed to stop until
the day arrived when it was ready to go out of
existence. That question did not necessarily
arise at this time. If tho stockholders wanted to
quit after paying losses, they could easily do so
by surrendering their stock, but tho company
should not now lie embarrassed by such an ex
pression.
A gentleman from Jacksonville wanted the
whole question left open until tho next annual
meeting of the Directors.
A vote was then taken on Mr. Howland’s reso
lution, ratifying the action of the Executive
Committee, and it was declared to have been
adopted.
Judge Miller said that the idea was prevalent
that the action of the Executive Committee
pledged the company to continue m business.
That question was still open, and tho company
was not committed to any action beyond the
payment! of its debts. At tho next annual meet
ing the Directors could judge of tho future, and
act accordingly.
Mr. Dodge moved the "passage of a resolution
providing tliat no more than the first, second,
third, fourth and fifth instalments of 10 per cent
per month be paid until a further expression on
the part of the stockholders.
A resolution was finally adopted providing for
the appointment of a committee of one from each
State represented, to confer with the Secretary,
ascertain the exact condition of the company's
affairs, and report at an adjourned meeting.
The meeting then adjourned until 9 o’clock this
morning.
CITY AFFAIRS IN BRIEF.
