Rockefeller should offer -~ the Roman ' Catholic church $100,000 for missionary work. He declared this to-night: “I have read a great deal about Mr. Rockefeller's offer and the objections | made to its acceptance by the Congre- gationalists,” said the Cardinal, “but 1 must confess that thus far I have been unable to reach a positive conclusion. 1, therefore, hesitate about discussing the matter further than to say that there is much to be said on both sides of the question. “In my opinion no testimony has been produced showing that Rockefeller ac- quired his fortune in any other than a legitimate manner. Numerous asser- | tions have been made; but, I repeat, no | proof has been forthcoming, and in the absence of positive proof it manifestly would be unfair for me or any one else | to pronounce judgment either one way | or the other. Neither have I any per- sonal knowledge of the man himself, which fact forms another objection to by entering into a discussion on the | subject. “1 might say, however, that if the offer had been made to me, or to any institution under my control, I would be in some doubt as to how to act in the premises.” BOSTON, April 4.—The committee of | Congregational clergymen who are pro- testing against the acceptance by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions of John D. Rockefel- ler's gift of $100,000 will have to con- duct their crusade unassisted by the prudential committee of the American i Board. After a protracted conference to-day belween representatives of the protesting clergymen’s committee and three members of the prudential com- mittec the latter refused absolutely to join the protestants in their movement to bring before the Congregational clergy of the country the reasons ad- vanced for or against the acceptance of the gift. ———— SAN DOMINGO, Aprfl 4.—Belgian Minister Willems, in ap interview to-day regarding the Teport from Antwerp that he had been inptructed to protest against the proposed agreement between the Government of the United States and the Government of Santo Domingo for the payfment of the forelgn bond- holders of the Dominican republic, said that 50 far he bad not received any such instruc- HARRIMAN PLANS BIG PROJECTS Union- Pacific Holders. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, April 4—The an- | nouncement was made to-night, after a long meeting of the executive com- | mittee of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, that the directors had ap- proved a plan to issue $100,000,000 ad- | ditional preferred stock, doubling the present issue. The purposes of the enormous in- crease in capital stock were not spe- cificaily set forth in E. H. Harriman’s circular to the stockholders. He asked their approval of the scheme, wiil be presented for the stockholders’ consideration at a special meeting to be held in Salt Lake City on May & next. Incidentally the stockholders will | be asked to approve an amendment to the articles of incorporation so that the | company can increase its capital obli- gations. | A significant statement is made in this connection. The circular says this | policy should be adopted, “especially in requirements such as arise in connec- tion with the acquisition of stocks of other companies.” Harriman urges that this policy £hould be followed, rather than to cre- ate fixed interest-bearing obligations. Reference is made in a general way to financing ‘“coming requirements,” but | official circular as to the purpose of the huge stock increase. —_—————— How Is Your Fountaing Pen?

Force Opponents Out of i | Positions in the Society! NEW YORK, April 4—The fight in the FEquitable Life Assurance Society assumed a new phase to-night, when geveral letters that heretofore have have heen carefully kept secret were made public. Further interest was aroused by a persistent report, emanat- ing from an apparently reliable source | and so far not denied, that Vice Presi- | dent Hyde and his friends in the soci- ety had decided to agsume the aggres- sive. According to the report, the Hyde party will force James W. Alexander | and Gage E. Tarbell to retire from the presidency and second vice presideney | respectively of the society at the meet- | ing of the board of directors to be held next Thursdey. : This report was strengthened to- night by the fact that both parties gave out certain letters and statements bear- | ing on the questiors in dispute. Hyde's | | contribution was the letter which he . wrote to the Equitable directors on February,15. when the fight for mutual- | ization first came officially before the board. At the time this letter was carefully guarded and only its general | tenor was allowed to become known. | The letter is a lengthy history of the ! Kquitable and Hyde's position under | the terms of his father's bequests, and | lin it Hyde formally charges President | Alexander with ‘“gross breach of trust | to my fether and me.” | ; SHOT TAKEN AT TARBELL. i | Alexander’s contribution to the his- ! tory of the controversy is his letter to | 'the State Superintendent of Insurance, defining his position and acquiescing in | | the compromise plan for the mutual- |'ization of the society. It is interesting in that he declared that his consent | was given with reluctance, because he | | felt that he could not take the respon- | gibility of rejecting even the measure | of control by the policy holders. | On behalf of Hyde a statement was | given out with reference to this letter, which charges that Alexander’s action | | in this matter was a breach of faith. Second Vice President Gage E. Tar- | | bell is the target of an open state- | ment given out by Alexander S. Bacon, counsel for certain policy holders. This | statement declares that Tarbell is the | || feal leader F the Alexander forces, and | | makes the charge that Tarbell, just | | prier to the beginning of the present controversy, sold back to the Equitable | for the sum-of $135,000 all his interests { in renewals or future busizoss. STATEMENT OF HYDE. | in Hyde's letter to the directors, he | says he was called into conference with President Alexander on February 3| when but two business days intervened | before the directors were to meet to ! elect officers, and told that a ‘“large | number of officers of the Equitable So- mmmmmm mwmmmmmumux&mu RRPRRRRRRRRRE RYRY | tive, had signed a memorial addressed | | to the directors, demanding that steps | be taken which would resuit in placing | the policy holders in control of the cor- poration to the exclusion of the stock control.” The letter also says he was given a legal opinion to the effect+that it was | the duty of the officers to bring this | matter before the directors, together with a paper signed by a majority of the officers charging Hyde with . per- sonal unfitness for the office of vice president. The letter continues: “Mr. Alexander demanded my imme- diate consent that my control of the| company through the ownership of a majority of its stock be at once relin- quished; that I should consent that the functions of the stock should be’super- seded under a reorganization through which the vote of the policy holders by proxy should select a managament to control the company and that I should personally resign and withdraw abso- lutely from any connection with the control or management of the com- pany, accompanying the demands by | threats of exposure of improprieties on i my part in both persohal and official | conduct, and impressing upon me that the movement against me personally had been so effectively organized as to be resistless. TURNS ON ALEXANDER. “I shall not in this statement under- take to discuss or palliate any personal indiscretions which may have given oc- | casion for just criticism, but I have no | hesitation in contrasting all of' these with the attitude which has been taken in this matter by James W. Alexand- der, a man of mature years, of wide business experience and of such abili- | ties that 1t is impossible he should | have misconceived the solemn duties devolved upon him under the instru- ment of trust executed by my father. “On the sixth day of June, 1806, I will have attained (should I live) the age of 30 years, and will then, subject to my duty to my father’s expressed wish, have come into possession of my stock. Thus shortly before the expiration of that period, Mr. Alexander, owing his existence as a director and officer of the Equitable Society to nis trust and to the stock confided to his care, has engaged in a secret cabal with officers under his command and in many cases subject to his coercion, to destroy the value of the subject of his trust and destroy the reputation and future of the benefi¢iary. ‘““There can be no long-continued dis- guise of the true purpose of the pres- ent movement. Its purpose is to trans- fer the selection of the directors of the Equitable Soclety and its management to a coterie of men whose more imme- diate contact with the policy holders would place them in a favored position to obtain the qroxiel of the latter and Mr. Alexander's gross breach of trust to my father and to me, with which I herewith solemnly charge him, has none but the most specious pretext of high motives.” "MAKES NEW PROPOSITION. transfer his stock vote to a board trustees pending the adjustment of mutualization plan. 7 A statement given to-night in Hyde's behalf by one of his friends denies the |cl:zrn made by Alexander that Hyde had largely usurped the powers and authority of the president, and quotes {from the by-laws of the Equitable to . show that practically all the power ot 1 the secretarv is vested in the president. o a THE EMPORIUM. i § | Friday. teresting fabgc.

Said to Have Borrowed Big Sum From Equitable. NEW YORK, April 4—It turns out that Edward H. Harriman’s statement, printed to-day, is not fully accurate, wherein he said, concerning the vast loans of the Equitable: ‘“Personally, I never borrowed a dollar from the Equi- table Life Assurance Society.” High and competent authorities dis- puted to-day this statement of Harri- man’s and said: “It can be easily provedthat the loan which appears on page 10 of the Equitable report to the Superintend- ent of Insurance on January 1, 1903, was made to Harriman personally and moreover was made on Harriman’s rsonal request. This loan was for 2,700,000 on Union Paclfic stock, the par value of ,Which at the time was $3,600,000 and the market value at the time $3,348,000.” ———————— SON-IN-LAW OF JUSTICE 'FULLER A SUICIDE CHICAGO, April 4.—William H.
