EQUITABLE PAID

Big Insurance Companies Di
vide "Legislative" Expenses
MR. SCHIFF TALKATIVE
Who; Has Charge of New York "Leg
islative" Department? Sensa
tional Disclosures Expected Next
Week -As to the Blind Pool
Union Pacific Preferred Stock
In :
New York, Sept. 29. The fact- was
;isclo.ed at today's hearing before
tiiO
Armstrong insurance committee
that the Equitable Society had paid"!
i oney to - "Judge" Andrew Hamilton
Sri reurn for services as special eoun-
K'l
m "legislative" matters.
Hamilton is the man to whom the
New York Life Insurance Companvtof
am j.'os.wu ,in,iyu3. .president Mcuaii
testified that the $235,000 had been ad
vanced to Hamilton by the New York
Life for the purpose of acquiring real
f siate in the rear of the New York
Life's home office building and had not
yet, so far as he knew, been paid out j
by Hamilton. I
It was shown today that the Equit-
able has made frequent payments to!
two men who had charge of 'legislation
f .r the society. In addition the Equit-
r. ule, it was shown, hat paid on ac-j
count of legislative matters moneys'
to special representatives, jn .Missis
sippi, Georgia and California. In :" Mas
sachusetts and Georgia the Equitable
.maintained representatives on a regular
t alary.
It was, in fact, shown at today's
hearing that the entire territory of tha
T'nited States in the matter of legis- j
lative supervision is divided among '
three big companies, the Equitable, the
Mutual and New York Life, and that
the expenses incurred by the repre
sentative's of -the three companies are
divided equally among the three In
stitutions. "
All efforts on the part of the counsel
for the committee to ascertain who
has charge of matters pertaining to the
legislature in this state were futile. The
' . T 1 n I: r n f 4- r-t
v, ere obtained. Alfred "W. Main, asso
f iate auditor of the Equitable, who co
it 'era ted with Hamilton and others in
the Society's "legislative" department,
declared' repeatedly that he did not
;nov who had charge of New York
ftate affairs. Counsel for the investi
gating committee is determined to fer
ret this matter out down to the last
detail, and there were reports today
that sensational disclosures involving i
the name of at least one prominent '
raan might be" known as the result of
the inquiry next week..
The disclosures regarding the three
big ! insurance companies legislative
ro'unselj came late in the afternoon.
Mr. Schiff proved to be one of the
most talkative witnesses that has ap
1 '.-eared before the committe. It wa.s
t-vident at various times that the bank
er was laboring under considerable
emotional stress.
At the close of his examination he
asked permission to make a statement
and launched forth into a defense of
the sales of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of bonds
to the Equitable in comparison with
what the same firm had sold to the
New York Life and the Mutual. Some
persons in the room actually thought
they detected tearsin 'Mr. .Schiff 's eyes.
Counsel for the committee questioned
Mr. Schiff fully in regard to his rela
tions to the Equitable's indirect par
ticipation in the $50,000,000 blind pool
in "Union Pacific preferred stock. Mr.
Hughes was unable to extract from
the witness the admission that this
lool was formed for the purpose of
Bllowing Edward H. Harriman to con
trol the Union Pacific road. It was
formed, in Mr. Schiff's'words, for the
purpose of "concentrating the stock.''
Mr. Schiff declared again that ' the
Equitable records are false when they
record the purchase of Union Pacific
preferred stock by the Equitable from
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. He was ready and
wining xo aamu, ne eaiu, men. nc at
tended two meetings of the Society's
financial committee at which the pur-'
chase of this stock by the Society was
japproved, but he declared that he hail
rot noticed the Union Pacific items
when they were read, and his attention
had not been called to them. He re-
Iterated what he had said before Su
perintendent Hendricks, that he had
not known until after the recent dis
closures that the Equitable Society had
ny interest in; this holding syndicate.
- fie supposed, he-said, that the stock
had been paid for and was held by
JTas. H. Hyde, in whose name the par
ticipation in the pooling. syndicatte was
taken. He knew nothing, he1 said, about
Mr. Hyde having been indemnified by
Ihe Society in the transaction. , He
had not, he declared, even had. any
thing, to do with obtaining Mr. Hyde's
subscription of $2,5Cd,000. That," Mr.
Schiff testified, was a matter arranged
fey Edward H. Harriman, who together
-. ' " .1 fc ""' " " - ' " ' ' : ; . .
with Mr.- Schiff and James Stillman.
were the managers of the syndicate.
Mr. Hyde's statements in resard to
this transaction before Superintendent
Hendricks contradicting Mr. Schiif
flatly, the banked - declared, were all
madefor the purpose of shielding Mr.
Hyde at the expense of Kuhn. Loeb
& Co. Mr. -Schiff did not explain
lucidly in what sense Mr. Hyde was
shielding himself,
Mr. Schiff explained In detail the
transactions which his firm had had
wnn tne Equitable in; the last ten
years in great detail.

of the visit of President Roosevelt
to this city on October 24th is receiv

editorial this morning says:

She was Lillie Harriman, a daughter of
Oliver Harriman. Town. Topics has
been printing a bunch of stuff about
Travers. No one saw Mr. Travers
take his life, and he had been dead
two hours when his body was found.
He was forty-four years old. He had
been living at 156 Madison avenue
nearly two years, but his time was
equally divided between his cottage at
Newport, his villa at Aiken, S. C, aiM
his apartments in this city. He spent
most of this summer at Newport and
closed ud his cottaee there the latter
part of August. Then he went to Vir-
ginia Hot Springs. He returned ten
days ago and since had been a daily
visitor at the Knickerbocker Club. ,
Mr. Travers inherited a good deal of
money and he never engaged in busi
ness until a few months ago. Early
I in the summer he told some of his
j friends that he was tired of idleness
l and was going into business. On July
1 he became a member of a broker
I age firm at 27. Wall street with the
understanding that he would try busi
ness life for six months. For a short
time Mr. Travers took an active inter
! est in the firm, and then went to New
port and devoted little time to "busi
ness. A week ago he developed a cold-that
seemed to worry him. He awoke soon
after 9 o'clock this morning and or
dered his valet, Martin Noon, to got
his breakfast. He ate his breakfast
in his pajamas. He was still at the
table at noon and he told his man
that he had no intention of leaving
the house.
i jNOon went out ai o ciwn auu up
turned about 2 o'clock. He found Mr.
Travers lying across his bed dead with
a pistol in his right hand. His ".rela
tives were notified, among them Clar
ence H. Mackay and Mrs. Mackay,
who was Katherine A. Duer, a niece
of Mr. Travers.
Mr. Travers' body was rejnoved to
fan undertaker's and will be held there
.
' to await the decision of his family. Mr.
Travers-was despondent of late, but
outside of this there is no known rea
son for his suicide.

WAS THIS THE GIRL?
Woman Tells of Disappearance of
Her Daughter with Stepfather
New York. SeDtf 29. Mrs. Frank
Dixon, who is stopping with her sister,
Mrs. George Pfann, in Hoyt street,
Brooklyn, thinks that the torso of a
woman's body found in Winthrop Bay,
Boston, may be that of her daughter
by her first husband, Nannie Shay.
The only reason Mrs. Dixon has for
thinking so is the fact that both her
daughter and her husband are missing.
; Mrs. DJxon, who was formerly Mrs.
Shay, came to Montreal ten years ago
from Ireland. Soon after her arrival
there she met and married Dixon.
Three years ago her daughter Nannie
came to this country. Mrs. Dixon says
her husband - bean to show marked
attention to her daughter. Finally
things came to such a condition that
Mrs. Dixon ha d a warrant sworn out
for her husbard's arrest. He begged
forgiveness and suggested that they
get -out 'of Montreal and go to New
j York. To this Mrs. Dixon agreed, and
the ; three arrived here on Saturday,
September 9th, and went to live In
Twenty-sixth street. r
The next Monday morning, Mrs.
' Dixon states, her husband demanded
that the girl go with him to the Grand
Central depot in order to get baggage
which consisted of a trunk and two
suit cases. The girl did not want to
go, but Dixon drew a revolver and
threatened to kill her unless she did as
he said. Nannie then decided to ac-
company him, and this is the last Mrs.
Dixon has seen of the pair. Mrs. Dixon
tnen went to live th her hister in
Bbrooklyn.

New Orleans, Sept." 29. The end of
the yellow fever epidemic, as far as
