Wm- the - ) Tpon the Suggestion of‘ District Attorney Jerome | SUITS BEIX6 PREPARED Men Who Handle the Funds of Society Must Explain Their Financial Methods NEW YORK, Juae 23.—The regular summer vaeation of the Court of Gen- eral Sessions will be wsuspended this year, so that the court may be avall- able if District Attorney Jerome begins prosecutions in connecilon with the af- fairs of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. This action was taken upom the request of District Attorney Jerome. District Attorney Jerome. in making his motion to suspend the court’s vaca- tion, said he hlid a letter from Governor Higgins offering to place the evidence obtained by Superintendent of Insur- ance Hendricks at Jerome's disposal. Jerome added: “It is my desire to have that evidence and it is my intention to go through it thoroughly. I am not in a position to know at this time whether there has been any violation of the law, but it is my duty to find out. “It is unusua! for the Governor to address a letter such as I have re- | ceived to the District Attorney, and it focuses public attention upon me. I have made arrangements with Justice | Davy of the criminal branch of the Supreme Court and he will continue | the June term of that court through | the summer. The powers of both courts can, if necessary. be invoked. It wllli take me some time to learn whether I | shall need the assistance of thé courts.” SOON TO BEGIN ACTIONS. Attorney General Julius M. Mayer was at his office to-day, engaged in going over the proceedings of the Eouitable Society. When asked how | soon he would begin action against | the FEquitable officers scored in the | Hendricks report, Mayer replied: ‘““Action will be taken as soon as it is physically possible and it will not be a matter of weeks, but days only before | we will be ready. Not only have I got to go over the Hendricks report, but the testimony which preceded that report, | and on which the repor based.” He was of the opinion that separate | actions would be taken, one for the resti- tution of funds wrongfully taken and an- other for the debarment proceedings against officers of the society. He said: | “This 1s a novel action, and it is the first time in the history of the State of New York where debarment proceedings against officfals of an insurance company will have becn taken. Under the insur- ance law,, the application of which nas never vet been put in practice, the Attor- ney General has power to debar officers of an insurance company who have been | found derelict in their duty, and this de- | barment not only precludes them from holdirg positions as officers, but also de- bars them trom acting as directors, not only in the company .from which they have been debarred, but from any other insurance company doing business within the confines of the State, and the Attor- ney General is the ome to enforce the action.” STATEMENT FOR HYDE. James H. Hyde, through his counsel, Samuel Untermeyer, has indicated to At- torney General Mayer his willingness to facilitate the Attorney General's pro- posed suit against “James H. Hyde and associates” for the return of the profits received by them in the syndicate trans- actions in which the Equitable Society was Involved. Hyde said he was anxious for an imme- diate determination of the question of the ownership of this fund, for “if he is right, as he believes himself to be, the decision will relieve him from the criti- cisms that have been leveled against him in the report of the superintendent, which he regards as most unjust and as based upon a total misapprehension of the law and facts.” Attorney General Mayer informed Hyde that he will avail himself of the offer to expedite an immediate determination in regard to the matter. BERLIN, June 23.—Over sixty poliey- holders of the Equitable Life Assurance Society held a meeting here to-day un- der tne auspices of the German Fire In- surance Protective League to discuss the measures to be adopted in tneir interest in view of recent events in conmection with the Equitable.

That such a system exists to an alarming degree is the dec- laration of Superintendent W. L. Bodine, ‘who has secured the conviction of Mrs. Ottilie Krosdick on the charge of violat- ing the compulsory education law. “This is the tenth of its kind that I have had in the last three weeks,” said Bodine. ‘“Judging from the testimony of varlous “Witnesses at the trials of these cases I am convinced there are hundreds of children from institutions who are drudging as servants jn many households of the city without being sent to school.” ——————————— TAX OF THE CHOCTAW TRIBE MUST BE PAID, SAYS COURT Appeal Will Be Taken, but Busimess Men Favor Making Settlement With SOUTH MCcALISTER, L T., June 23.— The United States Cireuit Court of Ap- peals has just decided that the Choctaw tribal tax must be pald.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, June 23.—There seems to be a decided difference of opinion be-! tween President Roosevelt and Secretary | of Commerce and Labor Metcalf. Al-| though it has been repeatedly denied that the President has asked Metcalf, with some degree of severity, to use his offi- | cial prerogative to lessen the evil of “un- | Juse® discrimination” against Asiatics, it/ was emphasized to-day at a lengthy Cab- | inet meeting that the administration does | not think that the immigration bureaus of the country have shown as much di- | plomacy as is necessary. | The Cabinet discussed the situation for nearly three hours. Prior to the confer- | ence, Secretary Taft said: i “This is a very serious question. The| President is inclined to modify the ex-| clusion laws, but only to that extent that will permit of fair and impartial treat- ment to students and merchants. He has not deviated from his policy of legislat- | ing against the coolie.” Secretary Metcalf sald: | “I am in favor of following to the letter | the provisions of the Chinese exclusion | act. I am really in no position to talk of t..c matter.” While it may be shown on the official | surface that the Cabinet is in harmony | on the subject of modifying the exclusion | act, there has been an effort to prove| that the claims of the Pacific Coast of a | “yellow peril” are unfounded. Secretary | Metcalf has attempted to qualify this| impression, so he says, and make the | East understand that California is I:M‘ fighting immigration from Asia on any | other ground than that upon which is| | fought the battles against immigrants | from the lower classes of Europe. The President made it clear at the| meeting to-day that he was determined | the Chinese should have fair treatment | under the law, whenever they applied for | admission to this country at any port. He believed this was not only in the in- terest of American manufacturers and business men, but no more than just to the Chinese. While no definite decision was reached at to-day’s meeting, it was the generally expressed opinion that the | amicable diplomatic and trade relations, | which this country has always min-‘ tained with China, should be continued if | possible. To this end Secretary Hay will | The report that the commercial guilds | of China have entered into a hard and | fast agreement to boycott American- on American producers interested in the Chinese trade.

Injured in a Storm in New: York and Its Surroundings DAMAGE TO PROPERTY Bolt Explodes a Dynamite Cartridge, Which Had Been Left by Harlem Workmen NEW YORK, June 23.—Two men wers kiled by lightning, eight persons were se- riously hurt and considerable property damage resulted from a - severe .storm which swept over New York and the sur-' rounding country last night. Following hours of great heat and humidity, the storm broke with intense violence and more than ene-half an inch of rain fell in thirteen minutes. The electrical dis- play continued intermittently over a wide territory for hours. Those who lost their lives were Michael Burns of Montclair, N. J., a plumber, and Arthur Bolton of Newark, N. J., a coach~ man. Scores of others were more or less seriously injured from the effects of the lightning and from fire and panic result- ing from the storm. Many buildings were wholly or in part demolished. two schoolhouses were struck by lightning, telephone and tele- graph wires were disabled and panics oe- curred in many buildings hit by lightning. The damage was greatest in New Jer- sey and in the suburbs along the south shore of Long Island, Coney Island and Rockaway Beach. Sections of Brooklyn also suffered severely. Among the peculiar freaks of the light- ning was a dynamite explosion in Har- lem. A boit plowed its way down the side of a new apartment house to the ground, where it exploded a dynamite cartridge which excavators had left un- discharged in the rocks. Serious damage was caused to several buildings close by. Confusion and wild alarm were created among 50,000 pleasure seekers at Coney Island, where the storm burst with vio- lent fury, The police station was struck by lightning, while several cottages and amusement halls were set on fire. Sim- ilar scenes were witnessed at Rockaway Beach. Lightning struck the Hudson County electric Yght plant at Snake Hill, N. J., and damaged the machinery so seriously that the arc lights, which illuminate the Iourteerbmlle boulevard were put out of ommission. In this city the electric conduits of the surface lines were flooded in lower Broadway and traffic was seriously de- layed. Flashes of blue flame shot out from beneath the ears for hours, until the workmen had pumped out nearly all the water that had collected. —_——— ARMY ORDERS.
