Ryan admitted that Harriman bad ea- deavored to secure part of the Hyde but refused to divulge what means him $o share. stock after Ryan bad purchased it, Harriman had used to try to force NEW YORK, *Dec. 8—The legislative, | committee which is investigating life in- | | surance conditions to-day determined to | send to District Attorney Willlam T. | Jerome a request that he institute pro- cler and owner of the majority of the stock of the Equitable Life Assurance So- clety, to punish Ryan for refusing to answer qugstions before the committee. | Ryan had fefused to answer when asked what E. H. Harriman, president of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Rali- road companiés, had sald to him when Harriman tried to induce him to share his control of the Equitable Soclety with Harriman. Ryan was asked whether Harriman had threatened that results disastrous to Ryan's Interests would ensue, or if Har- riman had told him that some actién would be taken by the State Legislature, or any officer of the Government, unless Ryan consented to share his stock with him. Acting on the advice of his attor- ney, Paul D. Cravath, Ryan declined to answer those questions, although Senator Armstrong, chairman of the committee, directed him to do so. Ryan, however, aid answer one question by saying that Harriman did not tell him at that time there would be & legislative investigation of life insurance business unless he gave up part of the Hyde stock Ryan had already testi: ' that he had secured control of the Eq ‘.ble Soclety by paying James H. Hyde 32,600,000 for 502 shares of the total 1000 shares of the so- clety. “‘After you had bought that stock, wasy there any proposition to share it with you?’ asked Charles E. Hughes, counsel for the committee. RYAN REFUSES TO ANSWER. “Am I obllnd to answer that ques- tion?"’ asked R: o2 mmx you ougpt to, Mr. Ryan,” said Hug! “lk H. Harriman desired to share the with me, and I refused to per- mit that,” replied Ryan. "’ Ryan said that he thought Harriman made his request on the day that Ryan bought the stock, and before the pur- chase was publicly “What 4id Harriman say to you to in- fluence you to make the sale?” “I do not think, Mr. Hughes. T ought to be called upon to answer a q!mx!pm like that—to characterize or state a con versation I had privately with Mr. Harri man,” sald Ryan. Paul D. Cravath interrupted by saving to the chairman: “I feel bound to say to my client, Mr. Ryan, that, while he should testify most fully to what he did and what he planned to do, he cannot, uniess he chooses to do so voluntarily, be re- quired to attempt to state conversations ¥hich Mr. Harriman or any gther man bad with him.' To this Hughes repiled '( deem the matter important In two aspects; in the first place, ittée may un- derstand the motive which may actuate those who desire to obtain control of the stock of the insurance company, and the proceedings which may be taken to ac- quire it; and, s>cond, that we may Kknow whether there is any truth in the report that there was any suggestion that life insurance conditions in this State wouid be investigated if Mr. Ryan did not ac- cede to Mr. Harriman's request. I think that we should have full light upon the transaction, and I hope that Mr. Ryan will feei that he can do another pubilc service by advising the committee fully.” Cravath said that Ryan would testify freely as to facts, but that he was not re- quired to state what Harriman said to him in private conversation. “Mr. Ryan,” said Senator Armstrong, “the committee directs you to answer the question.” ‘The following colloquy ensued: Ryan—I will answer to it so far as to state that I refused to smare the purchase with Mr. Harriman. A DID HARRIMAN THREATEN? “What did Mr. Harriman say to you in connection with the matter?’ asked Hughes. Cravath—My,advice is that you are not required to answer that quescion. The chairman—Do you refuse? Ryan—I refuse to answer on the advice of counsel. 3 “Did Mr. Harriman say that there ‘would be any result injurious to your in- terests in case you refused to admit him to share in the ownership?” asked Hughes, " Continued on Page 7, Columa &
