Hidden sccrots far moro noisomo than tho disclosures in tho Prick and TIcnd rieks reports, creeping out through tho publication of tho transcript of tho ovi donco taken during tho last inquiry, chow that tho rovclatlous so far, have Leon but a scratch, on tho surf aco. Tho trail lends to tho millionairo railway mngnato, and tho fact that it has been Abandoned has plunged tho utnto into nn uproar. Petition on petition, sup ported by requests from tho utate aa itombly for nn investigating committee, liavo fallen vainly on tho cars of Gov ernor Ulggins. Jcromo'fl Work Thwarted. District Attornoy Jcromo has boon thwarted in his attompt to secure tho transcript that would onablo him to tako tho scandals to tho grand jury Sj far tho ontiro movement has been blocked ovon ns tho researches of tho Prick and tho Hendricks investigation wcro blocked by tho mighty lovorage monoyod intorcsts exert socially and politically. Can Harriman thwart tho ontiro stato in its nttorapt to drag tho hideous so crots of tho Euqitnblo into the day light! On tho very vcrgo of a sonsa- tional tlifeldsilrq In 'th6 'cpispdo 'of tho "Union 'Pacfloprofcrreilj deal)" which threat oned, to drag Harriman and his cotorio beforo the public and perhaps Into tho courts, tho investigation was abruptly tormlnatod.

Higglns, in turn, oxorts prcssuro on Hendricks, tho stato superintendent of insurance, a chain of Iniluenco that mado the ncndrlcfcs roport a practical white wash, with tho nnmo of Harriman enro fully suppressed. Tho first inquiry, mado by tho n. C. Frlck committco, resulted in suppres sion ns far ns Harriman was concornod. Tho roport wont into potty graft. Tho disclosures wcro sensational enough at tho time, but subsequent dovolopments indicnto that tho Frlck committco. in- stond of trying to'divo to tho bottom action on tho part of ,thq .legislature wouiu upset tno plants of "Thomas F.

Next wcok tho movement to forco n messago from Hlggins In favor of tho appointment of a legislative commis sion will como to ji head; when a pe tition calling for action will bo circu lated among tho members of both houses of 'tho legislature and will bo sent to tho executive. Harriman'n Biggest Squeeze Tho Union Pacific preferred deal was built on tho architectural lines that scorn to havo been a hobby with tho financiers of tho Equitable. Of all tho schemes that "James J, Hydo and as sociates," used in squeoziug from $15,. P00,000 to $20,000,000 out of tho syn- tlicato connected with tho society, this was perhaps tho boldest In point of ex ecution and tho greatest In scope and in tho porsonncl of tho talont implicat ed In tho deal. This is tho deal that led Harriman X-RAYS Instead of watching Tacoma grow, why not watch Tucomii, Wasli.f Tho Equitable Assuranco Company certainly had a full shnro of assurance. Portland has a land office of its own, but can sparo officers for all tho balance. Tho prlnelplo of lifo insuranco Is to protect tho widow and orphan.

Hendricks Suppresses Worst. Tho suppressions In tho Hendricks roport show tho phonomonal influenco nnrriman, through Odell and Higglns, axierts on tho stato Insuranco superin tendent. Tho roport mado no mention of Hnrrlmnn 's deals, yet tho testimony tells of Btock speculations -with Equit ablo monoy; of tho dlvorBion and di vision of botweon $15,000,000 and $20, 000,000 in tho last three years; of a $50,000,000 Union Pacific blind pool, which Is directly traced to Hnrrlmnn by tho testimony of James II.

With theso facts gnernlly known to tho public of Now York stnto, tho do- mand for a legislative investigation hns becomo well-nfgh irresistible Fifty thrco members of tho stato nssombly, now In extraordinary session, havo de clared for an investigation, and 33 bo ing opposed.

Still, Governor Higglns hesitates and refrains from asking for tho investi gation which would result in nrticulat ing "Equitablo" skolotons and supply ing tho knowlodgo necessary to tho drafting of a statuto to rcmody exist ing avils. Odell soema to havo surron dorod to popular clamor, Ho is now supporting tho movement for n logls lativolnquiry. Shrowd bankers and politicians surmise, howover, that ho has on "understanding" with Hlggins whereby his chnngo of front is not to ncct tho .attltudo of tho stato execu tive.
