The North- era-Securities Company today filed with the Secretary of State articles providing for the reduction of its capital stock from JSS3.4O0.O0O to $3,954,000. The new capital is Just 1 per cent of the original outstand ing capital. Accompanying the papers and as a part thereof is a resolution of the board of directors 9f the company providing for the reduction of the capital stock and the giving to the stockholders of stock of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Company in return for the surrender of 99 per cent of their hold ings of the stock of the Northern Securi ties Company. It is provided that for each share of stock of the Northern Se curities Company of the par value of 5100 each, the stockholders shall receive stock of the Northern Pacific Railroad of the par value of 539.27, and stock of the Great Northern Railroad of the par value of 530.17. The certificate sets out the resolution adopted by the board of directors on April 2L 190. providing for the reduction of the capital stock and the distribution of the stock of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railways, two of the surren dered stocks Of the Northern securities Company. This is really the final distribution that was attacked In the courts by E. H. Har rlman, the suit finally terminating in a victory for J. J. Hill and the Interests which he represents. The New Jersey corporation laws provide that Increase or decrease of capital stock must have the consent of the holders of two-thirds or the company's outstanding stock.

VOICES HIS VIEWS Senator Brackett Afraid Equitable Bill's Death. of DEBATE LASTS 'ALL DAY Superintendent Hendricks' Shows That Policy-Holders Cannot Be Made Stockholders Under Present Charter. Control Is Made Difficult. NEW YORK. April 18. General read justment In the personnel of the North western - railroad directorates concerned In the Northern Securities dissolution 1b soon to take place, according to the asking the Justice to order the District TlmejJ Tn,g ,3 undeYstood to have been Attorney and Mr. Rand, his assistant, to appear tomorrow before him and under oath state just what papers and docu ments in the Smith case the Dis trict Attorney's office had gained pos session of, whether they still retain such property, or whether they have caused It to be destroyed or sent out of their cus tody and control found necessary in order to comply with the decision of. the Supreme Court, under which it is believed that one man cannot be a director in two parallel and compet ing railroad companies. This discovery upsets one of the work ing methods of the "communlty-of-lnter-esf'plan in which practically the same board of directors controlled a large num ber )f systems, and, while It Is not .be lleved that the decision will do away juimburger Heard Over 1 elepnone. with this Idea altogether, financiers say T ... . , ... .. . . it will mane tne control of sucn noaros or pnone conversation wnicn tie. nan wun Qne of the first changes scheduled to Mfi itana regaramg me pacKage ot aoc- take place will be in the board of "the uments Mr. Rand relinquished to him I Northern Pacific Railroad at the annual vesterdav.

SRULIi FLATTENED BULLET. Jealous-Singer First Fatally Wounds a Chorus Girl. PHILADELPHIA, April 18. Because she intended -leaving the theatrical company of which both were mem bers, Edward Smedes today shot Bessie Helen Davis, at a theatrical hotel. where they were both staying, inflict ing; a probably fatal wound near the heart, and then attempted to kill him self. The bullet Jlatened against his skull, and he was not much hurt. The couple were members of the chorus in "The School Girl" company, of which Edna May is the star. The woman Is known on the stage as Bes sie Dale. She is 23 years old, and her home Is in Hebron, Neb. Smedes' home, it is believed, 1b in Vicksburg, Miss. first meeting held by the stockholders of that road in two years and a half, be cause of the Injunction preventing the voting of the stock held by the Northern Securities Company, without which there was never a quorum. James J. Hill re signed from the Board some time ago be cause he believed it illegal for one man to sit as a director of competing lines. The Hill Interests are said to make no secret of their intention not to re-elect E. H. Harrlman, and the latter interests admit that they expect that'Mr. Harris man will fall of re-election. It Is said that the views held by Mr. Hill are also now maintained by the Rockefeller Inter ests, and that for this reason there will in the near future be many changes In board memberships. If the decision of the Western Interests Is carried farther there may be a rear rangement of the directors of many of the Eastern railroads which are compet itors, and whose boards are composed of practically the same men. All this, of course, will not necessarily mean the end of the community of inter est Idea, but that the old plan of having boards of directors as nearly identical as possible will "nave to be abandoned. ALBANY. N. Y.. April 18. An all day debate In the Senate chamber to In vestigate charges against the Equitable Life Assurance Society and the return of Superintendent Hendricks, who. for the first time since the Equitable investi gation began, talked on that topic with anything approaching freedom, brought the affairs of that corporation Into sen sational notice today. The subject came before the Senate in the form of a resolution Introduced by Senator Brackett to take from the in surance committee his bill to fascllltate policyholders suits' accountings. Being unable to get a favorable report on this measure. Senator Brackett secured a chance to voice his views by putting in this resolution and having it made a special order of debate for this morn ing. The resolution was defeated by a vote of 25 to 7. While Superintendent Hendricks de clined to forecast -when his investigation would be completed, he said that the next step, so far aa his department is con cerned, is to have a representative pres ent at Part I of the Supreme Court In New York County Thursday morning, when an order is returnable requiring the superintendent to show cause why he should not be restrained from taking action on the amended charter of the society. When asked concerning the reports that there Is some dissatisfaction because two representatives of the policyholders have not been added to the executive commit tee In accordance with the alleged agree ment. Superintendent Hendricks replied: "I will answer that question by say ing that the charter of the company now requires the members of the executive committee to be stockholders of the com pany. How could policyholders be made members of that company before the charter has been amended and the amended charter approved, as required by law?" IN SESSION SIX HOURS. Equitable General Agents Resolve on Appeal to Legislature. NEW YORK, April lo. After a ses sion at the Hotel Savoy lasting for nearly six hours today, aside from short recesses, the 200 odd managing- agents of the Equitable Life Assurance So ciety from all over the United States adopted resolutions late this afternoon asking the New York State Legislature to "exercise Its plenary power by en acting an amendment to the society's charter," this amendment to give the policy-holders admission to the directo rate of the society. The resolutions also provide that a committee, consisting of one manager in every state of the union, ana one from Canada, together with the man ager in New York, snould be named to visit Governor Higglns and Superinten dent of Insurance Hendricks and secure thoir assistance in getting the Legisla- terests, but I will never be called upon to put any money back Into the treasury of the society." This declaration was greeted with cheers President Alexander, In his address, stated he did hot consider the occasion a proper one to make any mention of the subject of investigations by any committee, or to talk about personal matters. It was Improper, he said, that any personal controversy should have taken place in the matter. "I fully realize," he said, "that you gentlemen are responsible for bring ing the Equitable its enormous sur plus of $80,000,000 and its assets of more than $400,000,000. I want you to know that your interests will be safe guarded. I would shed my heart's blood to protect you and your inter ests. Wo realize that this Is a very difficult work, but hope that we can make it easier before long." A short recess was taken. Thereafter there was a long discussion, resulting in the adoption of the resolutions here tofore referred to. Before today's meet ings began every one of the agents was given credentials and none of the score or more of newspaper representatives were allowed in the hall. Third "Vice President Wilson did not attend. It was announced tonight that tomor row's meeting of agents will be for the purpose of effecting a permanent or ganization.

For mlttee, representing the whole country, 1 wlir be designated before the agents finally adjourn. ' Today s sessions were replete wun developments. Several sets of resolu-1 tions were adopted. President Alexan- 1 der made a brief speech. Vice-President Hyde followed him and in the course of , his remarks referred to the sale by Sec ond Vice-President Tarbell of the lat- ( ter's Interest in the renewal account of 1 the company, which brought forth a sharp retort from Mr. Tarbell. Then all three officers left tne meeting and tne , agents devoted thejr time to discussion behind closed doors. At 5:50 this even ing the agents adjourned to meet again tomorrow morning. The first set of resolutions declared , that the agents plelged their "unquall- j fled support" to President Alexander and expressed their "entire confidence that the president -will continue unfal- terlngly and finish the work of mutual- j lzatlon that he has so courageously begun." There was no reference in any or tne j resolutions to Mr. Hyde. Resolutions were adopted by the agents giving their "unqualified ap proval of the firm -tand taken by Vice President Tarbell In his support of the president on the mutualization issue. The Tarbell resolution was introduced by E. A. Woods, of Pittsburg. The Frlck committee of investigation was commended in another resolution. The meeting of metropolitan man agers was abandoned by resolution and the resolutions declared that the funds i in the surplus reserve of the company belong to the policy-holders. This, in brief, is a summary of the day's pro ceedings, which began shortly before .noon. Soon after the meeting opened iir. Alex ander made an address and was followed by Mr. Hyde and .Mr. Tarbell. The talk of all was confined strictly to the admo nition that all concerned should work from now on for the best Interests of the society. When Mr. Hyde arose to speak he was. hissed by a general agent of the aociety. who was said to be the leader In lact night's movement to engage Joseph H. Choate, now American Ambassador to Great Britain, to conduct an investiga tion on behalf of the agents Into the so ciety's affairs. Mr. Hyde remarked that any such reception really was a compli ment, and proceeded with what he had to say. He said if he had done anything wrong, financially or otherwise, or had participated In any wrongdoing by others, he should be "kicked out," and If any other officers of the society had been guilty of wrongdoing they should be thrown into the street. Mr. Hyde, Vice-President Tarbell and President Alexander left soon after Mr. Hyde finished his address to the agents. As he was leaving the hotel Mr. Hyde said he would not return again to any conference of the agents unless he was sent for, in which event he would be very glad to respond. In the course of his address to the agents, Mr. Hyde referred to the sale by Second Vice-President Tarbell of the latter's interest in his renewal account, and remarked that he hoped "no agent would be called upon to sell his (the agent's) renewal Interest." Mr. Tarbell followed Mr. Hyde and explained the sale of his renewal ac count by saying that he contemplated recent ! the action six months ago.
