The session was opened by King Oscar in person, with the usual ceremonial. The members of the royal family and the members of both houses, having pre- viously . attended divine service in the royal chapel, assembled in the immense state hall of the Parllament building.

After some music President Wright, while the audi- ence ‘stood, introduced Mr. Roosevelt simply as “the President.” PRAISES CARROLL WRIGHT. =3 President Roosevelt spoke briefly. In part - he said: “Senator Hoar, two years ago, in- duced me to promise to come here on this oceasion to greet President Wright as the head of this college. Coming from such a'man and for such another man-I could not refuse the request.” Turning to Dr. Mabie the President continued: “With Senator Hoar was realized, Mr. Mable, - vour. picture of = the .public servant.” Addressing President Wright, Mr. Rooseveit sald: “I cannot speak of you as I would like to speak to-day and as I hope you may live a -long-time yet it may be 2 long time before 1 shall be able to say what I would like to say.” “He gave to the country,” the Pres! dent resumed, turning again to the audience and referring to President Wright, “the kind of service no money possibly could buy. It was not merely what he did at the head of his depart- ment. but it was the way in which he did it and the influence wiich he exerted which made him so valuable to the country.” At the conclusion of President Roose- velt's lege were conferred by President Wright and those of the university by President Hall. President Roosevelt received the degree of the doctor of laws from the college. The Presiden- tial ty retired and soon after left for Hely Cross College. RECEIVED AT HOLY CROSS. The President was recefved at Holy s by Rev. Joseph F. Hanselman, head of the institution. The corridors were filled with students and invited guests, who began cheering the moment the President’ appeared. He was es- | corted to the platform of the assembly hall and introduced by President Han- selman as “the most popular execu- tive, soldier and peacemaker.” Applause rang through-the hall as the President began to express his pleasure at being the guest of Holy Cross. He praised the work of Holy Cross and von- cluded by saying: “In America we have been.given. ex- tremely good advantages and we have no excuse when we do not do our duty at home and abroas WILLIAMSTOWN, Pa., June 2..—Tha entire student body of Williams College, headed by President Henry Hopkins, met President Roosevelt upon his arrival here from Worcester at half-past ¢ o'clock to-night. At the close of the re- ception at President Hopkins’ house an informal visit was pald by the President | to the Willlams Chapter House of the | Alpha Deita Phi fraternity of which he is a member. The President remained at the chapter house for a short time and then returned to President Hopkins house for the night. - Among those who met the President upon his arrival at President Hopkins' house were: Joseph H.

The King seated himself on the throne, a massive high-seated structure of solid stiver raised on a high dais. There, sur- rounded by the Princes and function- | arice, kis Majesty's commanding figure and white hair, under the glittering crown, his gray beard and fine-cut fea- tures, wearing an expression of gravity, attracted the. sympathy of the whole concourse. The Etate Marshal, having | taken the King’s orders, gave a signal, the audience arose and the King, in a clear, sonorous voice, which was heard throughout the hall, read his speech. He said: It is & painful step which the Council of | State calls on me to take. My consclence | tells me that I have during my long reign always striven toward the object I had in nd at the time of my accession, namely, wellare of the brother peoples. It is truly aintul to me to contribhte to the dissolution of a union in which I thought I saw the in- dependence, security and happiness of the united kingdom. If. however, I am ready to act thus it is in order to avold a still worse evil and in the convicgion that unfon without mutual accord would bring no real advantage to_Sweden. 1 have acted in accordance with my con- science and always in conformity with the constifution and with the desire to work con- scientionsly for the true welfare of the peo- ples. The bill presented to the Riksdag does not aim at replying to Injustice by acts of coerclon. The union is not worth the sacrifices which acts of coercion would entall. A union into which Norway would be forced in such & manner would be of lfttle value to Sweden The King concluded 'with expressing the hope that the Swedish people would be guided by calmness and prudence and that God would give them strength and unity to regain within their own fron- tlers what they had lost by the dissolu- tion of the union. His Majesty showed marked emotion when he referred to the recent events in Norway and affirmed that his action was dictated by regard for the true welfare |of the two countries. His speech was tears in many eyes. When the King had concluded the | presidents of the chamvers stepped for- ward and conveyed to him assurances of | the devotion of the chambers. |{HARD TASK BEFORE HUNGARY Diet Passes Vote of Lack of Confidence in New Ministry. BUDAPEST, June 21.—The Fejervary Ministry presented ‘itself before the | lower house to-day and had a foretaste of -the disposition of - the united opposi- tion. Premier Fejervary, in a brief state- ment, explained that the Cabinet was | only a stop in the gap, and would make | way as soan as possible after the recruit- | ing of Hungary’s. quota for the army and | the arrangement of the joint expenditure | for a regular Ministry. The Premier then produced a royal autograph letter, where- upon the united oppesition began a tre- | mendous uproar and the session was sus- pended without the letter being read. When the Diet reassembled it was re- solved not to hear the letter until the regular business was completed. The Premier, -after declaring that this pro- cedure was contrary to traditional usage, left the House with the whole Ministry. Fran Kossuth, leader of the united opposition, in behalf of the coalition ma- jority, immediately moved a vote of want | ot confidence in the Ministry ~on the ground that it was not a parliamentary | Ministry. | " Former Premier Tisza also moved a | vote of want of confidence, in the name of | the Liberals, laying stress on the dan- | gers which would ensue from antagonism | { to the crown, and the Diet by a large majority adopted Kossuth's motion. | 7The House then permitted the reading of the opening sentences of the Emperor- King's letter, proroguing the Diet to Sep- tember 15, but in the midst of the read- ing scenes of the greatest disorder oc- curred. A violent demonstration was made against Tisza, who was assailed with opprobrious epithets. The tumult was so great that the president of the House was obliged to again suspend the sitting, but ultimately he managed to se- cure a hearing of the concluding sen- tences of the letter. : The House then adjourned, amid intense excitement. The Ministers appeared at the evening session of -the .. upper house. - Premier Fejervary made a statement regarding the appointment of a programme for the Cabinct, following . which the House passed a vote of lack of confidence in the Ministry, on account of its ‘‘unparlia- mentary and unconstitutional character.”” —_——— “Rainier” Beer is a recognized beer of quality and this is the reasbn such very scvere methods are necessary to enforce the Rainier Beer boycott. ~ * ————— Fallure of a Missourl Bank.

TOUCE \EUOER MO YT New York State Superin- tendent of Insurance Se- verely Arraigns the Late Officers of the Equitable LIKENS THE SOCIETY’S EVILS TO ‘A CANCER Transactions of “James H. Hyde and Associates” Are Declared by Hendricks to Have Been Unlawful . < ALBANY, June 21.—The report of Su- perintendent Francls Hendricks of the State Insurance Department to Governor Higgins, upon his investigation of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, was made public here and in New York to- night. It is described In the title as a “pre- liminary report” and sharply criticizes the management of the soclety, as well as the new trust arrangement for. voting the stock, agreed upon by Thomas F. Ryan and the three trustees designated by him. In conclusion Superintendent Hendricks says: “No superficlal measures will correct the existing evils in this soclety. A can- cer cannoj be cured by treating the symp- toms. Complete mutualization, with the elimination of the stock, to be paid for at a price only commensurate with its dividends, is, in my opinion, the only sure measure of relief. “This report, with a copy of the evi- dence taken on this investigation, wiil be transmitted to the Attorney General for such action thereon as he may deem proper.” James W. Alexander, president, and James H. Hyde, first vice president, whose resignations were accepted yester- day by Chairman Morton, are severely arraigned in. the report. Gage E. Tar- bell, second vice president, is exonerated. Hendricks finding that no substantial evidence appears. in support of the charges against him. VIOLATIONS OF STATE'S LAW. Hendricks says it IS an open question whether President Alexander and the other cfficers and directors who partici- pated with him in the transactions cf “James H. Hyde and associates” are not disqualiied, under section 36 of the in- surance iaws, from Jereatter holding any office in a life insurance company. Tre report ~haracterizes these transactions as unlawful. Tarbell’s name is not in the list of par-i:pants in these transactiona, The policy holders, however, the report sets forth, are under great obligatic i3 to Alexander and the other executive offi- cers for demanding the mutualization of the society and the retirement of Hyae from its control. A surprising feature of the presentment is that Hendricks goes back to the organ- ization of the Mercantile Safe Deposit Company in 1876 by Henry B. Hyde, founder of the society, and declares that this company, which leases its office and vauit room from the Equitable Life As- surance Soclety, does not pay sufficient- ly and profits enormously at the expense of the parent company, paying 29 per cent dlvidends. The safe deposit lease has 96 years to run. Of Henry B. Hyde and the organization of the Safe Deposit and other subsidiary companies, Hendricks says: He did not neglect his own. interests or those of his immediate associates and depend- ents in the soclety. | The relations of the Equitable and its auxiliary companies are discussed at length. Of Alexander’s share in leases to these companies Hendricks says: James W. Alexander says he signed these and it is the I believe ‘this to be the fact, can be miost * charitable. _construction = which placed upon his acts. HEAVY LOSS TO THE EQUITABLE. A loss to e Equitable Liie resuited from the consolidation of the Western Bank of Commerce of 'Néw -York with the Western National Bank of New York, according to the report. The Equitable Life owned about 12,- 000 .shares,. or a controlling interest, in the Western National, and Valentine P. Snyder, who was its president, testificd that he comid have sold the controiling interest at $700 a share. In the merger, however, the Equitable Life Assurance Society accepted $70 in cash and §140 In stock of the Consolidated Bank. The syndicate transaction of *‘James H. Hyde and assoclates'’ ara referred to as_ ‘'mo- torious.”” James W. _Alexander' name fs glven in the list of participants. and it is| shown that in various bond isstes by Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Speyer & Co., J. P. Morgan & Co. and Brown Bros. the syndicate was represented in the underwriting. The total profitsof the syn- dicate are placed at-$188,107. of which $63,731 each went to James B. Hyde and James W. Alexander. Another participant was Willlam H. MelIntyre, fourth vice president of the Equitable, whose share was $14.420. All of those who took part In these dealings, the re- port says, should be compelied to pay back the sums recefved by them. ““This is omly very mild punishment,’”” says the report. In the record of Mercantile Trust Company shares Hendricks found that on June 4, 1900, 100 shares of that company's stock were sold to George J. Gould st $500 a share, and on the same day fifty shares were sold to H. C. Frick at $830 per share. On December 20, 1801, 100 shares were sold to M. L. Schiff at $900 a share, and on January 2, 1802, 100 shares were sold to E. H. Harriman for $500 a share. The report shows that. on the advice of Hendricks, Kuhn, Loeb & Co. re- purchased from the Equitable $1,000,000 of Missouri Pacific gold 4s of 1945, to which’ Hendricks objected, because they were collateral vonds. EXTRAVAGANCE IN SALARIES. Extravagance and waste in salaries are severely condemned. The increase in this respect in the executive department was from $380,800 in 1900 to $613100 in 1904. It was found that President Alexander's salary was advanced from $75,000 per annum to $100,000 without his request, in order that James H. Hyde's salary might be increased to the same figure.

David B. Hill received $000 a year and Elihu Root, for 1905, $25,000, also as attorneys. Of James H. Hyde's directorates in vari- ous corporations, Hendricks expresses the opinion that he was “put on these boards for the reason that he was the financtal head of a great insurance corporation, whose assets were so large and whose ready money was always available for the purchase of securities which these great corporations are largely In the market to sell.” The pension of §25000 to Mrs. Henry B. Hyde is condemned as unnecessary and probably illegal. Of the directors Mr. Hendricks found that only ten of the fifty-two owned stock in their own right and most of the others qualified on Hyde stock. “H. C. -Frick is the only man,” says Hendricks, “who, on the record, is mnot under obligations to Mr. Hyde, and he qualifica by Hyde stock.” SCOKES ALEXANDER AND HYDE. "'he report takes up the charges against James W. Alexander, James H. Hyde and Gage Tarbell, the latter being exon- erated. Of Alexander, Hendricks says uncontroveértsd téstimony:shows ;that -he was a participant in the “James H. Hyde and associates” transactions; that he exe- cuted the lcases detrimental to the so- ligations imposed upon him as chief offi- cer of the society. S The summing up against Hyde is more severe. It sets forth that he permitted the society to lose heavily in its busi- ness transactions with the Commercial Trust Company; that he exacted sglaries out of all proportion to his age, ability or the value of his services: that he has been accustomed to draw large sums for expenses on his own unitemized vouchers; ciety's affairs until the presidency was reduced to a position of secondary im- portance, and that he proceeded to use the society and its assets more and more as if they were his own, until he was checked by the demand for mutualiza- tion and his retirement.
