The special train consists of three cars, the- President's private -ar Rockele. the Pullman sleeper Forest, and" the combina t '0,1 baggage and buffot car Viceroy.

The trip is being primarily made to en able the President to attend the reunion of his old regiment, the Hough Riders. wLich Is to be held at San Antonio, Tex., next Friday, and to hunt big game in Oklahoma and Colorado. Incidentally the President will deliver notable addresses at several places en joute. His first Im portant stop will be made at Louisville.

He will go directly to St. Louis, and thence via the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Rail road to San Antonio, stopping at several j laces on the way. Among them Sherman and Dallas, Tex. Wolf-Hunt in Oklahoma. After leaving San Antonio, the President will go to Oklahoma for a wolf hunt, and Trill proceed thence to Colorado to hunt lig game In the mountains. Unless it should be necessary on account of unfore se'n circumstances to curtail the trip, the President will be absent from Washington about two months. Definite plans for the ti.'p after ho shall leave Oklahoma have r. t been made, the purpose, of the Presi dent being to adjust his plans to the con ditions as they may exist at the time, "ft bile lie expects to be in the wilds of Colorado for a considerable time, he will keep In Constant touch with. Washington ry means of couriers to the nearest tele graph station, and thus will be enabled to attend to such important business as may demand his personal attention. Dr. Lambert, who accompanies the President, is his physician, and has hunted throughout the country the President will visit. President Roosevelt's delay in arriving at the railway station today was due to an accident which happened to one of the horses attached to his carriage, soon rfter leaving the White House. The off-1-crse fell, becoming entangled In the har ness. The accident amounted to little, and the President was In no wise Injured. It occasioned a delay of about five min utes, After the horse got up the trip to the station was made without incident. UNDER GOD'S BLUE HEAVEN President Exuberant With Joy at Prospect of Outing. HARRISBURG. Pa.. April S. President Roosevelt's special train arrived here at 1? 53 and left here for the West at 1 P. M. There was a large crowd at the station.

BEEF TRUST TAKES ITS TIME Connors Fails to Demand Prompt Trial, and Files Demurrer. CHICAGO, April -Superintendent J. T Connors, of Armour & Co., under in tment for alleged Interfering with Fed-f.-al grand jury witnesses, failed to ap ; ar In person before Judge Landis today, aid thus failing to observe the formality f arraignment, was unable to push a rouon for an Immediate trial. Judge Landis said that he would not bo in Chl f ago again for at least two weeks from today. The case was continued until Sat'irday morning. When counsel for Mr. Connors realized that they would be unable to force the i ae to an Immediate hearing M,r. Urlon fued a demurrer to the indictment The Equitably Affairs Under Scrutiny Alexander's Reply to Hyde. NEW YORK, April 3. The most Im portant development In the Equitable Life Assurance Society's affairs toJay was the announcement tonight by Gov ernor Hlgglns, at Albany, and by Pres ident James W. Alexander, of the so ciety, in this city, that the State Su perintendent of Insurance, Francis Hondrioks, had bifrun an Investigation of the company's affairs. This was fol lowed by the introduction in the State Senate tonight of a resolution provid ing for a legislative Investigation of the Equitable. The resolution was pre sented by Senator Bracke.tt. Mr. Hendricku returned to Albany last night after several days spent in conference with those interested in Equitable matters in this city. The Governor's announcement came "less than 12 hours after the superintendent had reached his Albany office and was followed by a formal announcement from Mr. Hendricks office in this city tonight to the same effect. This action by the stae authorities follows a re quest made by Mr. Alexander to Su perintendent Hendricks by letter Feb ruary 21 and by Mr. Hyde In a letter, announcement of which was made last Saturday night. In an autnorlzed statement the first Mr. Alexander has made since the State Superintendent was called into the con troversythe president of the Equit able says that the Investigation by Mr. Hendricks "is now in progress. Its re sult," he adds, "will establish the truth or falsity of many matters which are now being alleged on the one hand and controverted on the other." He also takes occasion to deny some of the statements made formally by Mr. Hyde last Saturday night. Mr. Alexander's statement follows: It has been my eottled purpo?e to avoid a for a possible a dlwiisslon In the public press nf the merits of any phaoe of the controversies now ftxistuiK within the Equitable Life Assur ance Society. It Is properly a matter of con cern with me to avoid any expression which will embarrass the board of directors In the 'dlscharce of He duties or that will give rise to Irematurtt Judgment on any matter affectlns the society or any Individual. I am confirmed In this resolve by the fact that an examina tion of the society wan asked for by me through a letter addressed to the Superintendent of Insurance an February 21, 19CJ. This exami nation le now in progress. Its result will es tablish the truth or falelty of many matters which are now being alleged on the one hantl and controverted on the other. In a signed statement Issued by the vice president of the society. James H. Hyde, on Saturday, April 1. 1905, certain statements were made which I cannot allow to pars un challenged. He cays that the charges that havc-freen made against him have their origin In an effort by Individuals to obtain control of the Eaui table Society and lis assets. On the part of myself and other officers of the society who are associated with me la this movement, I desire to deny that our action is influenced by any motive except a desire to discharge our duty as officers of the society. Mr. Hyde further says that he has exer cised no power except with the president's concurrence. In reply, I assert that Mr. Hyde's usurpation of the president's authority and his habitual action without the consent or the knowledge of the president of the society are amonr the subjects of serious crltlcin against his conduct as an officer of the so ciety. Mr. HydeV request for an examination of the society's affairs by the Superintendent of Insurance must be viewed as an acquiescence in my course In this respect, which a few days ago Mr. Hyde was disposed to regard as taken without authority. I have thus far made no denial of the fre quent assertion that, as one of the trustee of the Hyde stock, I am vested with the voting power upon It. The trust exprecsly provide that no vote shall be cast upon the Hyde shares at any election of the society by the three trustees, except for a person approved by James H. Hyde, who is also one of the trustees. The section under which Mr. Hen vlricks today began his investigation is 39 of the insurance law, which pro vides that the Superintendent of" In surance may, as often as he deems It expedient, "appoint one or more per sons as examlrters to examine into the affairs of any such corporation and its books with reference to Its busines.". Every such corporation, its officers and. agents shall produce its books and all papers In its or their possession relat ing to its business or affairs for the inspection and examination of such ex aminers whenever required." The law als6 provides for a hearing to the cor poration on the examiners' report be fore filing such roport. The announcement of an investiga tion was preceded by a statement that the hearing before the Superintendent of Insurance on the application of the Crhnmlns' policyholders committee, which has been set for tomorrow, has been postponed. NEW MEN NAMED. (Continued from First Page.) on the isthmus, with the special view to its utilization in canal construction work. 4. He shall reside on the Isthmus and devote his entire time to the service, except when granted leave of absence by the Secretary of "War All officers and employes shall be appointed and their salaries shall be fixed by the head of the department In which they are engaged. Their appointment and salary shall be sub ject to the approval cither of the Commission or. If the Commission Is not in session, of the executive committee. The employment of lu. borers where the contract of employment I made In the United States, or outside of the isthmus, shall be negotiated and concluded by the chairman of the Commission, subject to 'the approval of tlie executive committee. Where the employment of laborers Is effected on the Isthmus, It shall be conducted under the supervision of the Chief Engineer, subject to the approval of the executive committee. Letting of Supply Contracts. Contracts for the purchase of. supplies or for construction involving an estimated expendi ture exceeding 10.000 shall only be made after due public advertisement In newspapers of gen eral circulation, and shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, except In case of emergency, when, with the approval of the Secretary of War. advertising may be dis pensed with. In the making of contracts for supplies or construction Involving an esti mated expenditure of more than $1000 and less than $10,000, competitive bids should be sc oured by invitation or advertisement when ever practicable. As soon as practicable after the date of this order the Isthmian Canal Commission, as here after constituted, shall hold a session In the City of Washington for th general purposes of preparing t1w number and character of of ficers and employes to serve In the Clly of Washington In the work of the Commission. The Commission Is especially charged with the duty of maintaining a complete system of ac count on the lMhmus, which shall be dupli cated In Washington, so that there may be always In Washington the proper means of In forming the President, the Secretary of War and Congress of the amount of work done, the cost of the same, the amount of money available, the amount of money expended and the general financial condition of th Enter prise. Board of Consulting .Engineer. There will hereafter bo appointed by the President nine civil engineers ot the highest standing, having experience- in work of canal construction and hydraulics, to constitute a board of consulting engineers, to whloh will be submitted by the Isthmian Canal Commis sion for is consideration and advice the im portant engineering questions arising In the selection of the best plan for the construction of the canal. The recommendations of the board of consulting engineers shall be consid ered by the Isthmian Canal Commission, and, with the recommends-tlons of the Commission, shall finally be submitted through the Secre tary of War to the President for his decision. The executive officers of the. Commission shall make duplicate reports on the work nnd operating of their respective department to the Sccreuo of War and the Isthmian Canal Commission from time to time and as often as may be required by the Secretary of War will make to the President a report at least annually and as orten as he may deem advis able or the President may require. All ex ecutive orders relating to the subject of the Panama Canal, except ro far a they may hs inconsistent with the present order, remain In force. Change Comes Right Away. The order closes with the announce ment of the appointment of the com mission. The appointment of Judge Ma goon as Governor of the Canal Zone shall take effect on the date of his ar rival on the Isthmus and the resigna tion of the present incumbent of said office shall thereupon take effect. The commissions of Messrs. Shonts, Magoon, EnJicott, Hnins and Harrod were de livered to them today and they took the oath qf office as Isthmian Canal Commissioners. They immediately called upon Secretary of "War Taft, and it Is expected they will enter upon j their ;lutles at once. Will Reorganize Forces. After their induction into office and their consultation with Secretary Taft. the Commissioners met in the office of Gover nor Magoon and had a brief talk over the reorganization plans. They was of neces sity preliminary, because most of the new Commissioners were unfamiliar by per sonal experience with the mechanism the old Commission has created. It is Jald that" there Is no disposition to make sud den changes in it. though In the end a more or less complete reorganization is expected. Under the President's order, the actual headquarters of the commission will be In Panama and there probably will be a considerable transfer of employes from Washington to that place, leaving here only a sufficient force to carry on the work of the admiMstratlvo branch and to j keep the duplicate accounts. Chairman Shonts, with Governor Magoon and En- , glneer Wallace, will spend most of his time in the Zone, but as the admlnlstra- ! tlve officers are directly in Mr. Shonts" charge, he will be In Washington more or less. The purchasing agent of the commission will probably be established in Xew York. Rear-Admiral Endicott and Colonel Ernst are at present charged with Im portant duties In connection with the Navy and Army. The Admiral Is chief of the Xaval Bureau of Wards and Docks and Colpnel Ernst is not only In charge of Important river and harbor worka in the neighborhood of Chicago, but is presi dent of the Mississippi River Commission and a number of the International Deep Water Way Commission, which is to meet during the Summer at Toronto. Their continued presence on the Isthmus is- not necessary and It probably will be quite sufficient If they are there only long enough to attend the regular meeting at Panama. This will enable Admiral En dicott to meet the President's wishes and continue as the head of the Bureau of Tarda and Docks. Colonel Ernst will be relieved ot the river and 'harbor work In the Chicago division by Colonel W. H. Blxby, Corps of Engineers, now on sick leave. Engineer Walters, who is now on his way from Panama, will be here Wednesday or Thursday. Colonel Erjisi will continue to act as president of the Mississippi River Commission and member of the International Deep -Water Water way Commission. Governor. Magoon will .be required to reside permanently on the isthmus and has" resigned his present position as law officer of the Bureau of Insular Affairs. It Is the present Intention to refrain from filling the vacancy thus created. The In sular Bureau, like the other Bureaus of the War Department, will call on the Judge-Advocate-General's office for any necessary legal advice. Executive Committee Elected. Later in the day the new body met in the office of the commission and perfected Its organization. The first action taken was the appointment of an executive committee, composed of Chairman Shonts, Governor Magoon and Chief Engineer Wallace. The question of the disposition of the minor officials and the clerical force was left open. Mr. Shonts left here tonight for a brief visit to the West to finish up some private matters demanding his attention.
