BOGUS CLAIMS
INSURANCE FRAUDS PLAN FOR PREVENTION DEVISED SECRET COMMITTEE (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 8.45 p.m.) London, August 29. In consequence of the fire conspiracy case London insurance companies have appointed a secret committee from senior officials to form an unofficial criminal investigation department of the insurance world for the purpose of stopping bogus claims. The Daily Herald learns that clues discovered during the recent case led detectives to suspect the existence of several more fire-raising organizations. If the inquiries result in a prosecution the charge sheet will be one of the most sensational seen in an English court, but the next step is likely to be the launching of a case against a group of defendants outside London. Meanwhile, fire-raisers are frightened, and it is practically certain that the deliberate burning of premises has ceased for the time being.
