A LETTER TO THE POLICY-HOLDERS OF THE EQUIT
ABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY
H. C Frick, chairman of the directors' committee investigating the
Equitable Life Assurance Society, has written the Wowing letter to the
policy-holders assuring them that the interest of every policy-holder Is ab
solutely safe.
"To tho policy-holders of the Equitable Life Assurance Society:
'The members of the investigating committee havo received a large
number of letters from policy-holders Inquiring If the sums already paid
to thcsoety as premiums on policies were endangered or lost.
"The workf- investigation to be of value must be done thoroughly.
To do Ij thoroughly will necessarily take time. The committee Is not ready
to make its report and cannot at this time anticipate Its report.
"In view of these inquiries from policy-holders, it sems proper for the
committee to state that the Interest of every policy-holder Is absolutely
safe.
"The assets of the society are in its possession. They have been exam
ined in detail by the insurance commissioners of many states. They are
absolutely sound. Indeed, one ot the criticisms of the society's manage
ment has" been that in Its Investments it has been conservative to tho
point of -not realizing a sufficiently high rate or Interest on its funds.
"If the Investigation should substantiate the gravest charges made
by anyone against the society. It would simply mean, that in the past the
society had not realized ail that It might possibly have realized under a
uinerem uess conservative) management. THERE
iV MICH IF TRUE, WOULD DIMINISH
ASSETS.
"The integrity of every one of the society's contracts is absolutely
unimpaired. It might be well in this connection to add. that while assess
ment societies and fraternal organizations require the constant addition of
new risks to meet their obligations on old ones, THE EQUITABLE, Ilk

The conference was called to order by
.air. bchlfr, who said that he was not
alone responsible for tho meeting, but tho
directors had spoken to him of the neces
sity for the meeting and also of confer
ring on the present situation and condi
tions in tho society. Charles Smith was
made chairman of the conference.

to adopt any resolution before tho report
ot me investigating committee. Tho only
affirmative action taken was that the

man .May 5L
Concerning the absence of Chairman
Frick. a director said that Mr. Frick had
sent word through Mr. Harrlman that he
was in sympathy with the object of the
conference but felt that, because of his
position as chairman of tho investigating
committee, it might be Indelicate for him
to attend. Mr. Frick also sent word to
the .meeting that tho report of his com
mittee would be submitted to the direc
tors not later than the last of the month.
The statement Is made that no demand
was made at the conference for tho retire
ment either of President Alexander or
Vice-President Hyde. It was not denied
that the names of several men of distinc
tion were mentioned in connecion with the
presidency of the society.
The following statement was made to
day by a director of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society:
The rail for today's mrtlng of the KquH
able directors rrai twsurd by some of the con
servative mwnbfra of the board, who recently
arrived at tlve conclusion that romcthlns murt
be done at once to repair the society's falling
fortunes. The conference in the fullest sens'
will le Informal, and every director present
will be ariced to exprees M views, and If
pcwdble offer a plan to oH-c the exlxthis
difficulties. It will be a frank, heart-to-heart
talk, and for that and other reasons It was
deemed advisable' not to Invite tho executive
officers. The directors realize that the public
Is heartily sick of the- bickerings and petty
Jealousies of these officers. It lit not the pur-
pos- oi me con i ere nee to demand the resigna
tions of Prcaldcnt Alexander and Vlce-PreI-
dents Hyde and Tarbell. though the advisabil
ity of such a course doubtless will be dis
cussed. It is expected that some of the conferees
win micrcrt one or more names to succeed
President Alexander, but tbe reports that any
particular Individual has been selected for the
position ore untrue.
A suggestion by implication was made
during the conference when M. EL In
galls. after a speech in which he told of
the necessity for a speedy settlement of
the difficulty, urged for the society an
executive of capacity, a man ot busi
ness experience and reputation.
"Wo must get a man of the size and
ability of Grovcr Cleveland." said he "if
he want to get the Equitable out of the
present predicament."

French Officers Testify Against Men
Accused of Conspiracy.
PARIS, May 8. Five persons, including
Captains Tamburtna and Votpert, were
before the Police Court today charged
with -plotting a conspiracy against the
state and having in their possession mili
tary equipment and ammunition. Several
officers testified that Captain Tamburlna
had proposed the seizure of President
Loubet and the Ministers, the palace and
other public buildings.
The accused denounced the statement,
saying It was merely a friendly conversa
tion between brother officers who had dis
played indignation against the system of
secret representatives, and officers ad
vanced the proposition, not seriously, but
as an argument as a capital way of show
ing disapproval of tho system.
The reason for possession of uniforms
and ammunition, tho accused claimed, was
the foundation of a colonial enterprise.

when speaking to the naval recruits at

to the very brief report published at the

example of patriotism and soldierly fidel

as iouows:
The Emperor referred to the heroic deeds
of the Japanese and added that these are
born of Japanese patriotism and lore for
children which In turn resulted in plendld
discipline In the army and navy. One must
not, however, draw the conclusion from Jap

In passing on the Secretary's right to
order exclusion in such cases. Justice

The petitioner, although phyalcaUy within

Justice Peckham. Justice Brewer said
that Ju Tuy had been- judicially adjudged
