Insurance men fret over Galveston storm losses
In Dallas on September 17 life insurers discuss the Galveston catastrophe. They estimate total storm losses are small per policy, noting many victims were women and children who seldom carried life insurance. Officials question how many bodies will be identified and claim procedures may strain insurers. Trecevant and Cochran, Western agents for eight large firms, say active demand for insuring Galveston storm losses was negligible.
