That Harriman demanded the right to name two of five trustees and to vote the controiling stock in the elec- tion of directors of the society. to repeated questions by Hughes, counsel for the committee, Ryan stated that Harriman did not threaten that there would be legisiative action unless he were given are in the Equitable control, but there probably would be such ac- nejther did Harriman threaten action by an officer of the Gov- £ a strenuous interview, Ryan d was hLeid in the presence of Root, then Ryan’s counsel, now of State, and Paul' D.

Harriman, said the witness, suspected that he (Ryan) was in on the deal, and had a talk with him ‘on that day. Harriman saw him P Tuesday, ‘in company with Root and Cravath. Most of the things said were sald &t the second'interview. Ryan told Harriman who the trustees were to be. “For'what reason did Mr. Harriman want haif the stock?" asked Hughes. “For the reason that he had been in the Equitable as a director and was fot-sat. plied Ryan. ence would be against me. He said his political influence wdild ‘be against me, but he did not mention any names. He =aid the Legislature probably would take action, but I don’t think he mentioned any investigation. I think he said that legislative action probably would resuit and that his influence would be im- portant. Mr. Harrman did not say any- thing about legislative action in the evént'that 1 acceded to his request. He did not say how his actions _in the mat- ter would be important.” RYAN DECLINES TO BE SCARED. “Did Harriman say there would be anything injurious to your interests if you refused to sell?” asked Hughes. ““He sald his entire influence would be against me,” replied Ryan. “Dld he refer to the political influence he woud assert at the interview at which Mr. Root and Mr. Cravath were | present?"” “My recollection is that he did.” “Did he refer to the probabi...y of legis- lative action at that same Interview?” “He did.” | “And vou understood fully that in re- | fusing to meet his wishes you were tak- ing thechance of whatever opposition he could bring to bear upon you?” “1 gid.” “And you told him that you intended | that the management of the Equitable { should be entirely independent?” { “1aia” | “Independent of what?” | “Independent of me and | else.” | “Did he threaten any action by offi- | cers_of the State Government?” “He did not.’ BIG CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION. ited States Senator John F. Dry- }d, of New Jersey, president of the | Prudential Life Insurance Company of | America, was on the witness stand all the remainder of the day. He. testified | that his company paid $26,000 to .the | Republican mational campaign fund in E]sss, 1900 and 1804. It also paid $5000 {to Andrew Hamilton, formerly the New York Life Insurance Company's legis- lative agent at Albany. Since 1896 the Prudential has pald to. the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company as a share of legislative ex- penses the sum of $24,540. ly Fiske, vice president of the Metropoli- tan, had charge of the expenditures. The Senator said all his ‘company’s legal expenses were fair, open and hon- est and the company never spent a dis- honest dollar on legislation. Senator Dryden said he got a % per cent-commission on some of the insurance in the Prudential on his own life, and 45 and 50 per cent on his premium, and 7% per cent on Tenewals on other policies held by him in the same company. The salaries of the officers of the Pru- dential were taken up. President Dryden said his salary was now and had been since 11899 365000 a year. The first vice president’s salary 18 $80,000, second vice president’s $40,000, third vice -president's | $30.000, fourth vice president's and con- troller’s $20,000. The first vice president is Dryden’s son.

We assume you are jinterested in this subject, and beg to submit the following: - % First: That owing to THE WHITE COMPANY being the largest manufacturers of touring cars in the world, and to the further fact that the WHITE car has a great deal less machinery than any gasoline car of the same capacity, we are enabled to sell a more capable and serviceable automobile at a great deal less money. B | 1906 Model F. White Steamer, with Victoria Hood. The same car furnished with cape top or limousine body. COMPARING THE WHITE with the up-to-date 4-cylinder gasoline car, our engine i a 2-cylinder double acting compound steam engine with 2 valves only and 2 pistons, while the up-to-date gasoline car has cylinders with 4 pistons, 4 connecting rods, 4 inlets and 4 exhaust valves. It has a countershaft to operate these valves, usually gear driven from the main shaft, and’ on this countershaft numerous eccentrics and other parts—making on_the whole ABOUT SIX TIMES THE NUMBER oF MOVING PARTS IN THE GASOLINE ENGINE WHICH WE HAVE IN THE WHITE. 3 In addition, THE WHITE: ENGINE of the same power capacity weighs about one-half as much as the gasoline engine as used in_the up-to-date automobile, and the WHITE ENGINE IS A NORMALLY BUILT STEAM ENGINE, with about 10 to 1 surplus of strength ahd wear in ev: part, while the GAS ENGINE AS USED IN THE AUTOMOBILE ONLY WEIGHS ABOUT O! NTH OF WHAT A STATIONARY GAS ENGINE INTEND- ED TO DO THE SAME WORK under much less difficult conditions re- quires for reasonable durability and efiiciency. From this you can readily judge what can be expected in the way of durability and serviceability from each engine, assuming that THE WHITE COMPANY has learned as much about materials and workmanShip in fifty years’ experience as the average gasoline automobile manufacturer has been able to learn in from 1 to 3 years; and that we are therefore able to use at least as good materials and workmanship in our eonstruction as any other maker. In addition to this, THE WHITE CAR HAS NO_FRICTION CLUTCH; it has NO COMPLICATED SETS OF CHANGE SPEED AND REVERSING GEARS such as are used with the gas engine; it has no countershaft be- iween these and the rear axles to reduce speed; it uses NO CHAINS: and AS A RESULT OF THE ELIMINATION OF ALL OF THIS MACHINERY, A GREAT DEAL OF WEIGHT IS SAVED; and as there is NO VIBRA- TION the elimination of both the exvessive weight and vibration of ths machinery not only reduces breakage -of connections and loosening ov various parts, but it GREATLY REDUCES THE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE TIRES; Insuring a great deal longer life to the tire and a great deal less trouble to the operator. Second: THE WHITE CAR ITSELF as at present offered to the public FOR 1906 Is the outgrowth of 6 years of continuous experimenting and improvement season after season; and while there are only two gaso- Inie car makers who have similar advantages in ‘this respect, none of them have had the advantage of the experienee of 80 large a number of users as the White Company_have had, and most of them are so new in_the bus]- ness that their product can be considered in about the state of develop- ment in this respect that the White Co.'s product was in 4 years ago, since which time the WHITE CAR MAS BEEN IMPROVED so much that you would hardly recognize it as the same make of machine. Third: THE SKILL AND PRACTICE NECESSARY TO PROPERLY OPERATE THE WHITE CAR IS VERY MUCH LESS than any make o» gasoline car, for the reason that there is no shifting of gears and throw- ing in and out of clutches in starting or working up vour speed, which s also true of stopping and slowing down; besides which, most gasoline cars tequire the manipulation of a throttle and sparker and the working of the brakes, besides the manipulation of the low Rgear, intermediate gears, the high speed gear and tl::e re(verle Ee;?' tg say nothing 'of u:ed care in nipulating these to keep from choking down your engine and stoppin; PRl WHITE CAR THERE 18 NO CRANKING OF M BRGINE TO START IT—nothing to do in funning but open your throttle or oloBe It more or less as you may réquire more or less speed, and use your foot brake; and there is absolutely nothing élse necessary to be done in the ordinary operation of the machine, making it AS SIMPLE AS AN ELECTRIC MOTOR, with an unlimited radius of operation. WHITE STEAMER VERSUS GASOL V4 1906 Model F, White Steamer. Price WHITE . GARAGE, 1878 MARKET ST. 2 g INE] As the fuel and water supply are absolutely autematlc, steam Is eon- densed and' used over and over again, so that frequent stops for water ars not necessary and THE ECONOMY IN THE USE OF GASOLINE IS THREE TIMES AS.GREAT AS THAT OF ANY OTHER STEAM CAR. and at ledst as great, if not greater, than that of most gasoline cars of the same capacity for work. Fourth: While we have in starting to lght our piot with a match, this i8 a perfectly simple operation, and after it is once lighted and the main burner turned on, these require no further attention, and do not re- quire renewal for long periods, as there is no wear and tear & THE STEAM GENERATOR (THERE IS NO BOILER) WILL OUTLAST THE RUNNING GFAR, and there is no scale or foaming and none of the ordinary difficulties of the old type of steamer, such as water glass to watch, hand regulation of the fre, etc., By C. A. HAWKINS, General Manager White Sewing Machine Company nd the entire power plant is AB- SOLUTELY SA¥FE AND NON-EXPLOSIVE. DANGER OF FIRE Is VERY MUCH LESS THAN IN THE GASOLINE TYPE OF CAR, as our only flame is encased in an asbestos casing around the gemerator, with the gasoline far removed and safely housed where it canmot communicate, while gasoline cars have electric wires running all over them which give forth sparks both at the batteries and at the engine, as well as at the vibraters, and the exhaust pipes close to the engine are usually red het after having been run a length of time, so that any leak of gasoline in any part of the machine is much more 1 to ignite than ia the White—the records of fires showing that the percentage of same in gasoline cars I8 a great deal more than fn THE WHITE, THOUGH THE ELEMENT OF RISK IN THIS REGARD IN, EITHER TYPE IS SO SMALL AS TO HARDLY BE WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION. The White Car, however, has no carb tor, and no spark and plugs and no batteries to renew, and no c which it is necessary-to keep the valves weil seated to preserve; so t the whole, THE DETAILS WHICH REQUIRE ATTENTION IN 1 WHITE ARE LESS THAN ONE-HALF OF THOSE IN ANY OTHER MAKE OF CAR ON THE MARKET, EITHER STEAM OR GASOLI Pifth: THERE BEING NO NOISE IN THE WHITE CAR AND NO VIBRATION, the ¢omfort of riding and ability to carry on conversation in an ordinary tone of voice, and the fact that horses as well as people are much less frightened at its approach, are important considerations. Sixth: THE WHITE CAR HAS NOT ONLY LESS THAN HALF THE ar, but in case of break- D IS LESS THAN HALF of T, This largely L YOU A SU PARTS to break or get out of order of any other age the AVERAGE ST -OF THOSE PARTS USE! the cost of similar parts used in a ther mak accounts for THE WHITE COMPAN PERIOR CAR AT A GREAT DEAL L ture is a great deal less. I have not touched upon the guestion of the water jackets, including 2300 F. O. B. Factory. as T think this feature 'ypes except that in extremely hot weather wind is from the rear the gas car often finds the cooling efficiency of its as about when _the pumps and the rafliator, in a gas car, equal in the two radiator insufficient—the water boils and fails to cool the engine suffi- ciently, and great damage to the machinery results; owing to inability to lubricate and from the cutting of the cylinders and valves, the car often requires the purchase of new parts, while under these conditions THE WHITE CAR IS AT NO DISADVANTAGE except that it s slightly more water as the efficiency of the condenser is not quite so great This is equally true of climbing hills at slow speed. Another feature is the fact that our condenser only handles steam, while the gasoline car's radiator is like a water back in a Stove, the circulation being slow and sluggish, and there being no oll mixed with the water to dissolve the scale, as is the case in the White generator. The accumulation of scale on the walls of the radiator tubes soon takes place, which reduces the efficiency and re- quires a new radiator, while in & White condenser the only difficuity is the necessity for occasionally cleaning the oil out of the tubes, when, they are just as good as new. THE FRAME OF THE WHITE CAR Is ash, armored with sheet stee?, and while it is very strong, it is at the sameé time resilient. In case of an accident or unusual strain on the road it is impossible to so spring out of shape or alignment, that It will not immediately return to its original form. This also makes the WHITE car ride easily. Finally, THE ARGUMENT AGAINST THE WHITE CAR in 1903 and 1904 was the hand pumping that was occasionally necessary, and this ob- Jjection was remedied in 1905. The argument used against the car in 1905 was the side flues and the rear entrance which was the last peint left to our worthy competitors, and in the 1906 meodel the side flues have been eliminated, and the most comfortable side door entrance car ever offered to the public has been produced.
