METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE 3 WEST 2%h STREET, NEW YORK CITY dignified NEW YORK COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS READY TO TAKE UP EQUITABLE CASES. DISTRICT AI]‘ORI(EYTAKES REQUEST EXAMINING EVIDENCE TO DETER. MINE IF STATE LAWS HAVE BEEN VIGLATED. ] New York, June 24 —The regular! summer vacation of the court of gen- eral sessions will.be suspended this year so that the court niay be available if District Attorney Jerome begins prosecution in. connection with the affairs of the Equitable Life Assur- ance society. This action was taken on the request of ‘District Attormey Jerome. District Attorney Jerome, in making ; his motion to suspend the court’s vaca- tion, said he had a:letter from Gov- ernor Higgins offering fo place the evidence obtained by Superintendent of Insurance Hendricks at Mr. Je- rome'’s disposal. Mr. Jerome added: “It is my- desire'fo have that evi- dence and it is my intention to .o through it very thoroughly. The wide- spread attention called to this matter | makes it mandatory on me to make an examination of the affair. Iam not in a position to know at this time whether there has been a violation of the law, but it is my duty to find out. Before the governor addressed this | letter to me I had ‘the matter under consideration, having sent for a copy of the official report-of the investiga- tion, It may be that there is nothing in this affair to call for the action of this court.” Attorney General Wl Act. Attorney General Julius M. Mayer was at the office in this city during the day engaged in going over the proceedings in the investigation of the Equitable society. ~“When asked how soon he would begin action against the Equitable officers scored in the Hendricks report MrMazer replied: “‘Actlon will be taken as soon as it is physically possible and it wHl not be a matter of days but of weeks before ‘we will be ready. Not only have I got to go over the Hendricks report but the testimony which preceded that re- port and on which the report is based.” He was of an opinion that separate action would be taken, one for the restitution of funds wrongfully elic- ited and another for the debarment proceedings against officers of the so- clety. In commenting on this phase of the situation Mr. Mayer said: - “This is a novel action and it is the first time in the history of the state of New York where debarment proceed- ings against officials of an insurance company will ‘have been taken. Un- der the insurance law the attorney general has power to debar ofiicers of un insurance company who have been found derelict in their duty and this debarment not only precludes them from holding positions as officers but also debars them from acting as direc- tors not onmly in the company from which they have been debarred but from any other insurance company- do- ing business within the_confines of the state.” STRIKE DRAGGING ALONG. No Decision Reached by Settlement Committee. Chicago, June 24—Three concrete problems confronted the Teamsters’ Joint Council strike settlement com- mittee in session during the day with the executive board of the” Interna- tional Brotherhood of Teamsters. Upon”the decision of the leaders to adopt any of these seemed to depend the settlement or continuation of the strike. The first plan considered was to accept the employers’ terms, aban- don the union button and get back whatever places may be had. The more belligerent members favored the calling of a general strike of team- sters to carry the point that the union Is to the teamster what the flag is to a patriot in battle. The only other al- ternative was: to let the strike con- tinue on the present lines. President: C. P. Shea again ap- peared to be in the saddle. The “peace committee” had made no prog- ress in negotiations with Chalrman John V, Farwell, Jr., of the action com- mittee of the Employers’ association.

CONTROL. ! |- WAR IS THEIR OBJECT POWERFUL lNTRIl_il.JES AT WORK TO INTENSIFY FRANCO.GER- - MAN DIFFERENGES. POINTS OF DlSAGREEIEI.T REMAIN FRENGCH NOTE JUST RECEIVED AT BERLIN DOES NOT IM- P_ROVE SITUATIO'N. Berlin, June 24—The French note on the subject of the Moroccan con- ference was handed to the foreign office during the morning. Owing to its great length the note had to be sent by mail to Berlin instead of by telegraph. The foreign office, while declining to discuss the points of the note in detail, admits that it leaves the situation where it was before. = The points of disagreement between Ger- many and France have not been re: moved. ” It is expected that the nego- tiations will continue for a long time | before a-positive result is reached. - Germany’s answer to Premier Rou- vier has not yet been considered. It will require considerable time to meet all the points railsed. While the delay might under ordinary circumstances be of advantage in affording time for the excitement to subside German government circles note . willi some concern that powerful intrigues are going on, having for their object war between Germany and France. Ger- many's intentions remain thoroughly pacific, but government circles herc apprehend the possibility that these intrigues will result in inflaming the French people against Germany and creating a delicate and complicated situation. UNEASINESS IN FRANCE. Renewed Depressmn and Falling Prices. on the Bourse. Paris, June 24.—An official commu- nication {ssued after the meeting of the council of ministers savs Premier Rouvier acquainted his colleagues with the status of the negotiations with Germany. These follow the nor mal course, with changes since the de- livery of the formal note of Prince Radolin, the German ambassador. The note was simultaneously communi- cated to .the French ambassadors abroad for the purpose of informing the powers. Uneasiness continues to prevail in parllameatary circles and among the public generally concerning the out- come of the negotiations. The bourse showed renewed depression and prices continued to decline. In spite of the reassuring tone of the official communication issued after the cabinet council public uneasiness was apparent over the strained .rela- tions between France and Germany. This produced a panicky sentiment on ‘the bourse, where heavy offers of rentes sent down prices to the unusual figure of 97.90. Parliamentary circles also continued to show a feeling of nervousness and apprehension. This was increased by the publication in the sensational aft- ernoon papers of maps showing-the dispositions of the French and German military forces along the frontier, ac- companied by interviews setting forth the gloominess of the situation and the belief that Germany’s reply to the French note would increase the difficulties of the government. SEVERE ELECTRICAL STORM. Two Persons Killed and Eight Injured in Vicinity of New York. New York, June 24—Two men were killed by lightning, eight persons were seriously hurt and considerable prop- erty .damage resulted from a severe storm which has swept New York and |- the * surtounding country. Following hours of great heat and humidity the storm broke with intense violence and more. than one-half of an-inch of rain fell in thirteen minutes. The elec- trical display continued intermittingly over a wide territory for hours. Those who lost their lives were Mike Burns, a Mont Clare (N. J.) plumber, and Arthur Bolton of Newark, N. J., a coachman. Scores of others were more or less injured from the effects of the lightning and from fire and panic resulting from the storm. Many buildings were wholly or: in part demolished, two -schoolhouses were struck by lightning, telephone and electric light wires were disabled and panics occurred in many build- ings hit by,lightning. While l.he storm swept every sec- tion of the city proper the damage was greatest in New Jersey and in the suburbs along the south shore of Long lsland Coney Island, Rockaway Beach and sections 6f Brooklyn. Woman Charged With Murder, Milwaukee, June 24—Eva Bacon, -thirty-four years of age; professional singer and actress, was taken into:cus- tody during the day on the charge: of murder. The woman is wanted in | Chicago, where it is said she shot John Bennett to death on the morning of JMay 6. 5 7 Bank Cashier Under Arrest. ‘Buffalo, N.

Retired by Czar Without Usual Re- script of Praise. St. Petersburg, June 24—The vice- toyalty of the Far East having been _abolished by the imperial ukase of June 21 Admiral Alexieff has been | appointed a member of the council of the ‘empire andwill continue to hold his position as aide-de-camp general; to ‘the emperor. The announcement of Admiral Alex: lefl’s retirement was not accompanied by the usual rescript of praise and it bears all the other marks of imperialk disfavor. The retirement of Grand Duke Alexis as high admiral and of ‘Alexieff as viceroy of the Far East and the suppression of the Far Eastern commission in guick succession is the best evidence Japan could have that the emperor has washed his hands of the whole Manchurian adventure. The liberal Press greets, the demise of the Far Fastern commiSsion with a howl of exultation as being the final blow to the policy which led to the present war. The Slov, M. Witte's organ, traces the origin-of the war to the late Interior Minister von Plehve and concludes: “The bluck page which'preceded the bloody pages of the book of our Far Eastern affairs has at last been torn out by the emperor and all Russia will rejoice.” Too Severe in lis Criti St, Petersburg, June 24.—The news: paper Russ’ has been suspended for thirty days upon the recommendation of Assistant Minister of the Interior Trepoff. The Russ, which enjoys an immense circulation, lately has been the government’s most severe eritic, ‘waging unceasingly a war against the byreaucracy and printing ~exposure after exposure. Disturbances Anticipated. ‘Warsaw, Russian Poland, June 24.— A man carrying a bomb was arrested during the morning in front of the Malewki police - station. He relusen all information regarding himself. Dis- turbances are anticipated here in con sequence of the recent shooiing o: workmen a'. LOdL. TENDERS HIS RESIGRATIOR GOVERNOR CARTER OF HAWAL DESIRES TO RETIRE FROM THAT POSITIGN. Honolulu, June 24.—Governor Carter mailed his resignation” to President Roosevelt on Wednesday. He will leave on June 28 for Washington to discuss the matter of his retirement from the governorship. He has been in cable correspondence with the presi- dent regarding it and has received permission to go to the capital for a personal interview. Governor Carter says he had urged President Roosevelt to accept his res- ignation and appoint a successor. His action, it is declared, was not due to the election of E. M. Brown as high sheriff, but had been under considera- tion for some time. It was first writ- ten on June 6, but *was withheld on the advice of friends, who asked him not to send it to Washington. The resignation was the culmination of a long series of events which led Carter to the conclusion that he could be of more service to the territory ot Hawaii outside the gubernatorial chair than in that posmon COLLISION OF STEAMERS: Both Vessels Sunk but Only Two Lives Are Lost. Detroit, Mich., June 24—The wood- en steamer: City of Rome and Linden collided early in the day in the St. Clair river opposite Tashmoopark and both were sunk.. Two members of the crew of the Linden, the cook and his wife, were drowned. The other mem- bers of both crews escaped in safety from the sinking boats. The City of Rome was bound down with a cargo of iron ore and the Linden was up bound with a cargo of coal. Oft Tashmoopark the Linden, it is said, suddenly sheered and rammed the City of Rome. damaging her so that the steamer sank almost immediately. The Linden, although also ~badly damaged, limped along until off the head of Russell island, where she sank in the channel. All the members of the crew excepting the cook and his wife escaped from the sinking boat. FARMERS FORM COMBINE. Build Elevator and May Deal in Coal and Lumber. Sioux City, Ia., June 23.—Dissatis fled with the prices paid for grain by two elevators at Sloan, Ia., about 200 farmers, including practically every leading tiller of the soil in that section of the county, have gone into the ele- wvator business themselves and prob- ably later will engage in the flour mill and coal and lumber business. The pro- moters have provided that any of the stockholders who shall sell grain to any dealer other than the farmers’ ‘company shall pay a fine of one-half of a-cent a bushel for each bushel s0ld. The new company will proceed at once to purchise a site and erect 8n elevator. 'May Remain at Port Arthur. London, June 24.—Replying to a question in the house of commons in tegard to the reported expulsion of} American and European firms: from Port Arthur the under secretary for foreign affairs, Earl Percy, sald the snwmment had been infol h orders ILLNESS. OF RUSSIAN flFOREléN g MINISTER DELAYING MDVE. MENT FOR PEACE: LITTLE HOPE FOR AN ARMISTIGE. JAPAN WILL NOT DISCUSS ISSUE WHILE OTHER QUESTIONS ARE UNSETTLED. Washington, June 24.—It is learned’ ' through officlal sources that owing to the illness of Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minister, there has been a slight check to the negotiations wifecting Russia’ and Japan. It is specifically stated, however, that this. does mnot imply that there ha§ been any hitch but simply that the nego- tiations have been unayoidably de- layed for the reason given. President Roosevelt so far has not received an answer from Russia to his latest representations regarding Deace. It is believed that the illness of Count Lamsdorff may account for this delay. While there is no official announcement on the subject the gen- eral understanding is that these repre- sentations concern an armistice. Count Cassini had a long talk with Secre- tary Hay at the latter’s residence, but the visit was primarily a personal one and no decision regarding the nego- tiations was reached. IN - NEGOTIATIONS. ey Both Russia and Japan Opposed to Making First Move. St. Petersburg, June 24.—There is not likely to be any further move in the direction of an armistice until the plenipotentiaries are appointed and the time of their meeting is definitely fixed. Japan seems unwilling to dis- cuss any new issue until these two questions are settled. This does not necessarily mean that all hope of ar- ranging a suspension of hostilities be- fore the meeting has disappeared, but as-an indication of Japan’s mood it in- creases the doubt as to whether she could be induced to relinquish tem- porarily the ‘strategic advantages ‘which she evidently believes she en- joys. The delay in settling the matter of the plenipotentiaries is, therefore, all the more deplored by those desir- ing to avoid further bloodshed, Both countries seem perfectly willing to name negotiators, but each evidently desires the other to show its hand first. On account of Foreign Minister Lamsdorff’s illness Ambassador Meyer ‘was unable to have a personal inter- view with him for two days, but it is believed that - communications from ‘Washington are passing in writing. DELAY RUSSIANS LOSE HEAVILY. “Force of One Thousand Men Repulsed by Japs. Tokio, June 24.—The fcollowing offi~ cial dispatch has been received from the headquarters of the Japanese armies in Manchuria: “In the vicinity of Yingecheng June . 21 a thousand of the enemy’s infantry, pressing our scouts, advanced and when they reached Hsiangyangcheu, . ten miles southeast of Wankautzkeau, our forces repulsed them with heavy loss and pursued them to the vicinity of Weiyuanpaomen. “After eur force, which occupied ‘Yangmulintzu June 19, had completed their mission they returned. “The enemy, consisting of three bat- talions and four squadrons with twelve guns, advanced through the eastern distriets of the Kirin road and moved southward June 21. From 11:30 in ‘the morning his infantry gradually ap- peared on the heights between Cha- pengan and Lichiatun and his artil- lery- posted on the heights of Lien- huachies shelled the northern heights of Nantchendzy. Our force, after a féw hours’ engagement, assumed the offensive and completely repulsed the enemy,. captured the heights and pur- sued him.” DIPLOMATIC MANEUVER. Jap Advance Not Considered a Gen- uine Offensive. Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, June 24.— The Japanese are no longer pressing the Russian south and doubt is now entertained as to whether the weak offensive is the precursor of a big bat- tle or a diplomatic maneuver. Belief in the prompt conclusion of peace is weakening. ‘The heat is-intolerable. nights afford.little relief. Even the WARNED BY TERRORISTS. Grand Duke Alexis Given Twenty-four . Hours to Resign. 8t.
