When the senatcr reached the hospital he was in a very weakened condition and it became apparent that unless the flow of blood was soon stopped life would pass out.

AVERTED GREAT PANIC l‘(‘HOMAS F. RYAN TELLS WHY HE PURCHASED HYDE’'S STOCK IN THE EQUITABLE. 4 5 ASSERTS HE HAD NO OTHER MOTIVE i TRIES TO EVADE QUESTIONS AS| TO HARRIMAN’S DESIRE TO SHARE CONTROL. . New York, Dec. ).—Thomas F. Ryan, ho purchased the control of the uitable Life Assurance society by buymg the stock of ‘James H. Hyde, as the first ,witness of the day be fore the insurance investigating com- fittee. Mr. Ryvan testified that he bought he Hyde Equitable stock because he elieved that by so doing he prevent d the most tremendous panic -the Lountry had ever seen, which he be lieved would have followed if the Equitable would have been put in the hands of a receiver, Mr. Ryan said that after his purchase E. H. Harri- man, president of the Union Pacific, desired to share in the purchase. Mr Ryan refused Mr. Harriman’s offer. - Mr. Ryan declined to answer ques: tions as to what was said at the con- versation between him and Mr. Harri: man. Mr. Hughes said he wanted to know whether there was any truth in the report that it was hinted there would be an investigation of the life insurance husiness if Mr. Harriman was not- given an interest in the Equitable. Mr. Ryan declined to an swer and was upheld in his declina- tion by Paul D. Cravath, his attorney. ‘. Chairman Armstrong of the commit: tee said the question was proper and should be answered. Mr. Hughes here asked if Mr. Harriman had said any- thing to intimate that anything dis- astrous would happen to Mr. Ryan’s i interests ifv he refused to share with Mr. Harriman. " 'Mr. Ryan again re- fused to answer, although Chairman Armstrong, in the name of the com- mittee, directed him to reply. Witness Finally Repljes. On advice of counsel Mr. Ryan re plied that Mr. Harriman had not made such a threat. Mr. Ryan said he had directed his counsel to make the trus. teeship of the Equitable stock perpet ual because he did not want any heir of his ever to control the property. “How did it happen that you were willing to pay $2,500,000 for stock which yon then put intc the hands of trustees and upon which vou get only T per cent?” asked Mr. Hughes. “lI did it for the purpose I de- scribed,” replied Mr. Ryan. “I thought I was doing a public service and-to prevent the most tremendous panic the country has -ever seen if the Equitable went into the hands of a receiver.” Reverting to Harriman’s request for permission to take a portion of the stock Mr. Ryan said he thought likely he told Mr. Harriman he should go ahead with his plan as he saw fit re- gardless of what Mr, Harriman want- ed. Mr. Ryan did not remember aow much of the stock Mr. Harriman want-. ed and he declined to say whether Harriman offered to put the stock in trust. Mr. Harriman, he said, was the only man who tried to get a share of the stock. “Cur relations became strained,” said Mr. Ryan, “but we resumed re- lations later when Mr. Harriman be- came satisfied that I would not part with that stoek to him or anybody else.” 3.
