cides on Action of Direc
tors Meeting Today.
N'EW YORK, June 6. (Special.) Myron
T llerrick. Governor of Ohio, will be se
lected as the chairman of the Equitable
board. After consultation with persons
representing James H. Hyde, Governor
Hcrrlck loft 'the Waldorf-Astoria at 6
o'clock for his home in Cleveland. He
had assured his visitors that ho was will
ing to take hold of the Equitable at a sal
ary of $159,000 a year, providing he was
given absolute freedom in his control of
the society, and it was added that this
was assured and lie would be unhampered
in his management.
It was said tonight that Governor Hcr
rlck, as the representative of -a syndicate,
had made a liberal cash offer for Mr.
Hyde's stock holdings, so that, if alrans
fer were' made, the control of the society
would not only be vested in Governor
Herrjck, as chairman of the board, -with
plenty of powers, but in fact he would bo
in absolute control.
Hyde Declines to Sell.
The price offered was said to be in the
neighborhood of $5,009,000, or about $1,000,
000 more than Mr. Hyde was offered for
his control of the Equitable two years
ago, when a syndicate of Wall-street men
tried to buy out his interests. Mr. Hyde
declined Governor Herrlck's offer, but at
the same time proffered to him the newly
created office of chairman of the board,
which the Governor expressed his willing
ness to accept.
Choice May Be Unanimous.
There was a conference tonight, at
which Mr. Hyde was present with his
legal adviser, Samuel Untcrmeyer. There
was a full and free discussion of the
selection of a suitable man for the posi
tion of chairman of the board, and the
selection of GovcrnorHcrrick proved ac
ceptable to all who were in attendance.
At the meeting of the board of directors
at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon Governor
Hcrrlck probably will be unanimously de
cided upon as chairman, and a committee
will be appointed to wait on him and
' formally tender him the position.
THREE MORE DIRECTORS QUIT
Slorc Adherents of Frick Out Friclc
May Join Rival Company.
NEW YORK, June 6. Three more
directors resigned today from the board
of the Equitable Life Assurance Society
and at least one more will retire tomor
row, making in all ten resignations since
the present troubles of the society began.
The resignation of A. J. Cassatt, presi
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, was followed this afternoon by the
announcement of the resignations of John
A. Stewart, chairman of the board of
directors of the United States Trust
Company, and John Sloane, prominent in
banking and trust company circles. The
resignation of D. O. Mills will be handed
to President Alexander tomorrow. Mr.
Mills was at llrst Inclined to postpone
action, but decided not to attend the
meeting.
The other directors who have resigned
from the Equitable board are H. C. Frick,
E. H. Harrlman, T. Jefforson Coolldge,
M. E. Ingalls, Jacob H. Schlff and Cor
nelius N. Bliss.
New Place for II. C. Frick.
Among the stories which gained circu
lation today was one to the effect that.
Henry C. Frick has boon offered a posi
tion on the board of directors of the New
York Life Insurance Company, that many
of the directors of the company have
asked him to join the board, and that he
Is seriously considering the offer.
Mr. Frick resigned as a director of the
Equitable last week when the report of
the investigating committee, of which lie
was the head, was not accepted by the
board of directors.
It Is understood that James H. Hyde
Intends to resign from the Union Pacific
and Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com
pany board of directors. These are Har
rlman properties.
Did Not Call Them Names.
Mr. Hyde gave out the following state
ment today:
I have been jrreatly pained by the asser
tion In, one of the morning paper that I had
raid of the gentlemen who have sfen flt
to resign from the Equitable board that It
was freeing ourselves of driftwood. In the
light of existing conditions these untruthful
Interviews with me are calculated to do some
serious harm. As to the gentlemen referred
to. no one can question their right to with
draw from the Equitable board, and while I
greatly Tegret that their point of view did
not coincide with mine. I do not think the
best good of the large interests at stake
are to be served by recrimination.
President Alexander and Fourth Vice
President William 1L Mclntyre of the
Equitable, the latter a supporter of Mr.
Hyde, were examined by Superintendent
Hendricks of the State Insurance Depart
ment today.
Will Meet to Elect Chairman.
The call for the Equitable directors
gives notice that, on adjournment of tho
regular meeting, a special meeting will
be held for the following- purposes:
First Of amending the by-laws so as to
provide for the office of chairman of the'
board of directors and prescribing the powers
and duties -of the office and passing upon
such other amendments to the by-laws as
may be submitted to the meeting.
Second Tor the election of a chairman of
the board to fill the office thus created.
Third For the election of the chairman as

Total Russian Loss Nearly 19,060.
LONDON. Juno 6. The Tokio corre-
spondent of the Dally Telegraph -eays
there were ladles on board the hospital
ships captured by Japanese, Including
Vice-Admiral Rojcstvensky's niece,' who
asked permission to nurse her uncle.
The correspondent -says that the total
Russian casualties in the naval battle
were H.000 perished and 4900 captured,
while SOX) escaped. He adds that a large
percentage of the prisoners are suffering
from disease.
SUBMARINES' GOOD WORK
Japan Gives Them Credit Togo's
Coolness In Battle.
LONDON. June 7. The correspondent at
Toklo of the Dally Telegraph says:
It is officially -stated that submarines
actually were used in the Tsu Straits
battle.
During the battle Admiral Togo, on the
Mikasa, displayed admirable coolness.
The Mikasa approached nearer the Rus
sians than any other battleship. While
standing in the conning tower a Lieuten
ant at Togo's side was wounded with &
splinter from a shell. Togo, unmoved,
went on his knees and tenderly lifted up
the young officer. After the battle, when
he arrived at Sasebo, Togo allowed no
one to land, and himself did not leave
his ship till he visited Rojestvensky on
June 2.
LTNTEVTTCH WANTS MORE WAR
Believes He Can and Will Defeat
Japanese Army.
GUNSHU PASS. Manchuria, June 6.
Undismayed by Rojestvcnsky's defeat and
full of confidence as to the outcome of the
approaching battle, Lieutonant-Gencral
Linievltch is for war to the bitter end.
and he believes that the Manchurlan
army is now strong enough to assume the
aggressive.
To a question nut to him by the cor
respondent of the Associated Press, as to
whether he was for war or peace, the
commander-in-chief replied firmly and
without the slightest hesitation:
"Most certainly I am for war. I am a
soldier. The Emperor's will is naturally
my law, but my voice now, as before, is
for the continuance of the tight.
"With tho destruction of our fleet, van
ishes, of course, the hope of those, who,
at the beginning of the war, wished to
make peace at Tokio, but our defeat at
sea has not interfered with my plans
absolutely not one whit. I consider my
self strong enough not only to hold my
ground, but even to advance.
"I am no prophet and have no desire to
be one, but I certainly believe that I can
and will defeat the Japanese in Man
churia. "I havo asked tho War Office to send
me reservists of the youngest classes in
stead of older ones, not because the lat
ter make poor soldiers, but because with
plenty of young and vigorous reservists
it would be unjust as well as Inadvisable
to call the older men from their more
settled life."
JAPAN IS READY FOR LONG WAR
May Be Means of Liberating Russia's
Oppressed People.
SPECIAL CABLE.
TOKIO, June 6. "If Russia prefers
to continue the war. Japan is willing
to meet the enemy's challenge," says
the Kokumln Shimbun, a leading paper
of this city, commenting on Russia's
apparent stubbornness in admitting that
the time has arrived to arrange for end
ing hostilities. It declares that, did the
responsibility rest upon Japan to decide
the question, the Japanese could not
afford to ignore the demands of other
countries for the cessation of hostili
ties, though based upon purely human
itarian principles. As the case stands,
however, says the Kokumln Shimbun,
it is the enemy who desires the in
definite protraction of hostilities, and
nothing prevents Japan from shearing
Russia of her military strength as she
has deprived her of her naval power.
In this way it would be possible to
liberate the Czar's stricken people,
who have long suffered from the op
pression of the autocracy, to restore
Independence to the Poles and Finns,
to establish a free state out of the re
maining portion of Russia and to
bridge the chasm dividing that country
from the powers. Japan, it adds, is
ready for any war programme, whether
for 20, 30 or 100 years.
PUTS TRUST IN INTERVENTION
Czar Will Fight On Hoping Powers
Will Check Japan.
CHICAGO. June 6. (Special.) A
Berlin cablegram to the Daily News
says: It has become known in Berlin
that the Czar and Grand Dukes have
decided to continue the war in the be
lief that the powers will intervene to
arrest Japanese pretensions. This de
cision Iras been taken at the suggestion
of Grand Duke Vladimir. It is pointed
out that the recommendations of peace
reaching Russia from all quarters,
especially from England and America,
constitute the best proof that the end
ing of the war Is desired before Japan's
success leads her to extortionate con
ditions damaging to tho Interests of all
nations.
Nicholas has therefore determined
that the situation cannot become more
unfavorable, even if Linievltch should
be beaten. On the contrary, he is con
vinced that another disaster will pro
voke International restoration of the
status quo.
BAY STATE MEN START

BOSTON, llasa.. June 6. (Special.) The
Bay State's legislative delegation for the

JOB-HUNTERS HIE
AFTER NEW MAYOR
Many of the Best Places Are
Well Protected by Civil
1 Service.

Lane Will Not Have Many Positions
at His Disposal With Which to

Brethren for Work.
PLUMS OF POLITICS.
Positions In the city government sub

perintendent of Street-Cleaning De
partment. $125; foreman. $00.
Jobhuntcrs began camping on Mayor
elect Lane's trail yesterday at early day
break. The new Mayor Has several fat
pi urns, at his disposal, and before he shall
take his seat next month he will be sore
pressed by plescekcrs.
But many of the hungry faithful had
cause to lament yesterday when they
started on their quest for Jobs; civil ser
vice rules were in the way of most of the
rich prizes, and others were fortified be
hind boards which the new Mayor cannot
discharge without making "a written re
port to the Council setting forth his rea
sons for such removal."
Among the Jobs protected by civil ser
vice are all those In the Fire Department,
thjasc under the Chief of Police. thoe in
the Street-Cleaning Department, thoce
under the City Engineer, those In the
Water Department under the Superin
tendent and the Chief Engineer, those
under the Park Board, the Poundmaster
and the Harbormaster.
Removals Must Be for Cause.
Removals from all such positions can be
made by the Mayor only for cauye. and
the persons thrust from their places have
the right under the charter to appeal to
the Civil Service Commission. The find
ings of the Commission roust be accepted
by the Mayor. Should the removal be ap
proved by the Commission, the new ap
pointee must be chosen from cllgiblcs who
have passed satisfactory examinations
under the Commission, and from none
other.
Some additional policemen were recent
ly appointed by Chief Hunt, and until
they have had their positions six months
they are on probation and subject to re
moval, but unless the Civil Service Com
mission should consent to their dismissal
tholr successors could not be appointed
because the Commission could refuse to
offer any other eligible. This is a live
question now in the police force, and the
40 new policemen are shaking in their
boots. The officers who have been in the
service more than six months, however,
aver that they cannot be displaced so long
as they shall perform their duties faith
fully. The commission itself cannot be re
newed by the Mayor. He has power of
removal, but the power of appointing
new members under such circumstances
lies with the City Council. Inasmuch as
most of the new Councllmen represent
political beliefs different from those of
Dr. Lane's, the new Mayor could not
reconstruct the commission according to
his desires. One member of it. however,
he will appoint as soon as he shall come
Into office the successor of A. A. Court
ney, whose term will then expire. But
the other members. P. L. Willis and J.
W. Blain. will hold over.
New Mayor Not Omnipotent.
It Is therefore manifest that the new
Mayor will not be able to make much of
a feast for his brethren. Before the
present charter went Into effect, the
Mayor could put his followers into offices
of high and low degree as Mayor Pen
noyer did. But now that many of the
good places are held by men who cannot
be put out without cause, there Is walling
and gnashing of teeth among the Demo
cratic patriots. .
And another good place beyond the
reach of the faithful is that of secretary
of the civil-service commission, drawing
$100 a month, now hold by O. L. McPbcr
son. who acts also as secretary to the
Mayor. The secretary Is appointed by
the civil-service commission. True Mayor
Lane wilP appoint one member of the
commission, but two others will hold
over and may thwart any purpose of
Democrats to gain possession of the sec
retary's office. And Inasmuch as the
commission will be In the hands or the
two Republicans, it will have an im
portant function in the making of all
clvll-scrvicc appointments in the city
government.
Beneficiaries or Civil Scrrlcc.
M embers of the Street-Cleaning Depart
merit will be beneficiaries of the civil-
service system. Heretofore that depart
ment has been the victim, of the spoils
system. Alex Donaldson, superintendent,
drawing $123 a month, and E. F. Jenkins.
foreman, drawing $$0, and their many
subordinates are fixtures: likewise J. R.
Hanson. Assistant City Engineer, at
$16; A. M. -Shannon, chief deputy, at
$115, and the other employes of the City
Engineer's department. The same may
be szia of men la tae Fire Department.
headed by David Campbell, chief engi
neer, at $1B a month, and M. Laudenklos
at $103X0 a month. Ben BIglln. harbor
master, at $100 & month, and Fred Heed.
poundmaster. at .$90. a month, are In the
civil-service class also.
Bhculi the new Mayor displace the
present Health Board the spoils would be
considerable. Four well-paying Jobs are
allotted by that board. They are: City
Physician. $150 a month, held by Dr. J.
C Zan; Health Officer. $00 a month, held
by Dr. H. B, Blersdorf; plumbing in
spector. $125. held by Thomas E. Hulme;
deputy plumbing Inspector. $109 a month;
superintendent of crematory. $110 a
month, held by R. Robinson. The Board
of Health is composed, of Dr. Mae H.
Cardwell. Dr." William Jones and Dr. J.
F. BelL
The position of Superintendent of
Parks, held by H. Lowltz. at $100 a
month, is at tho disposal of the Park
Board and this board, like the Health
Board and the Water Board, could be
reconstructed by the Mayor. The posi
tions at the disposal of the Water Board
are that of superintendent, held by
Frank T. Dodge, .and of engineer, held
by D. D. Clarke.
WORTHY OF GREAT EVERT
FAIRBANKS SPEAKS IN PHAISE
OF PORTLAND FAIR.
Tells Chicago People Exposition Can
not Fall to Succeed and Praises
Portland's Hospitality.
CHICAGO. Juno 6. -Vice-President
and Mrs. Fairbanks arrived In Chicago
today from Portland, Or., where the
Vice-President went to open the Ex
position. Tomorrow the Vice-President
wilt make an address at the lay
ing of the corner stone of the new
Federal building at Flint. Mich.
Mr. Fairbanks was inspired by the
Portland Exposition and he did not hesi
tate to say so.
"The Exposition is in every way worthy
of the event It commemorates. said the
Vice-President. "The people of the Coast
took a pride in the enterprise from its
Inception, and they fulfilled their Ideals.
The Exposition has a worthy setting.
Nature aided the builders, and the site
and its surroundings are of rare beauty.
The buildings are properly grouped for
purposes of the best effect and their ar
tistic excellence cannot be denied. It
seems to me that the Fair cannot fall of
the success that it most certainly de
serves. We had a delightful time in
Portland. The people of the West are
charming host?."

NORWAY DECIDES ON REVOLU
TIONARY ACTION.
Bcrorc Week Expires Norway Will
Declare Kins Has Suspended
Rights by Ills Veto.
COPENHAGEN. June 6. The Chrls-
tianla correspondent of the National
Tldenden says:
It is the general opinion that a disso
lution between Norway and Sweden is
now Inevitable, but that It cannot occur
without removing or suspending the ex
isting Norwegian legal power.
Before the end of this week the
Storthing will have adopted resolutions
which, from the instant they come in
force, will mean the dethronement of the
King.
The Norwegians maintain that the
King, by not revoking his veto given at
Stockholm of the law for separate con
sular representation and partly by his
absence from Norway, has suspended his
rights and duties as King of Norway.
Under article 13 of the constitution the
Storthing will install a responsible gov
crnment. which in the absence of the
King will govern in the King's name.
Notifications of eventual changes in
the constitutional situation will probably
be given to the powers by special mis
sion.
OMAHA COMING IN JULY

where German warships floated began
firing a 21-gun salute at the same mo
ment. In the chapel one of the most
distinguished -assemblages that could
be gathered in Europe saw the simple
wedding service of the Lutheran
Church. Some of the 60 to 70 members
of the royal families present from
German and other foreign states were
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Aus

Tnese all stood In a wide circle
around the altar, for there wore no
pews, and behind them without regard
to rank were the members of the for
eign embassies, with Ambassador
Tower and Mrs. Tower among them.
the Cabinet Ministers, a number of Ad
mirals. the commanders of army corps
and many persons of the high nobility.
Brldes Gorgeous Costume.
The Crown Princess, for she was
nlpnuCrowcuPrlncess bjvclyILcJght,-carne.
In on the arm of the Crown Prince. She
was wearing a wreath of fresh myrtle
on her head, over which was a small
crown of diamonds and rubies in a-gold
frame, placed there by the Empress. A
triangle of-diamonds rested on the
front of her low-cut bodice, and around
her neck was a necklace of large Jia
monds. The wedding dress was of Rus
sian silver brocade, with a train four
anJ a half yards in length and two and
a' quarter yard3 wide attached to the.
shoulders. Four maids of -honor In
dresses of pale blue silk, the Crown
Prince's favorite color, carried the
-train, and behind them walked two
pages. The bridal veil was of old Brus
sels lace.
The Crown Prince wore the light
blue uniform of the First Foot Guards,
with a Major's insignia and his deco
rations. He carried his helmet in his
hand.
Behind the bride and groom came
the Empress on the arm of the Grand
Ouke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. broth
er of the bride, and the Emperor wlt'i
tbe Grand Duchess Anastasia. mother
of the bride. These and other members
of the royal family stood on the right
of the altar.
Simple Lutheran Service.
The choir sang "God Give His Angels
Charge Concerning Thee," set to
music by Mendelssohn. This text was
carved on the cradle of the Crown
Prince. The congregation joined in
singing from the programme the fa
miliar hymn "Praije the Master." 'Dr.
Dryander, the court chaplain, with nine
of the cathedral clergy standing near
him, began the service.
It is the privilege of the pastor,
according to the Lutheran rite, to read
either one of the several admonitory
addresses to the bridal couple or to make
one of his own. Dr. Dryander elected to
lay aside the book, taking as his subject
the book of Ruth, chapter 1, verses 16. and
17, beginning: "For whither thou goest I
will go," etc.
Dr. Dryander spoke briefly on the
beauty of love, the large responsibilities
reining on the youthful pair, their need
of the support of faith and spiritual
vision..
The pastor then asked his Imperial high
ness If he took out of God's hand to have
and to hold, according to God's word and
will, her highness, Cecilia. The Crown
Prince answered: "Yes."
The same question was addressed to the
Ducheas. with tbe additional question
"and obey." to which she also answered
yea." These were the only responses.
Tbe rings were then exchanged, and the
bride and groom knelt while Dr. Dryander
read the liturgical prayer, closing the
ceremony, which had taken precisely 30
minutes.
Dr. Dryander shook hands with the
Crown Prince and kissed the hand of
the Crown Princess. He then presented
the bridal couple with a Bible orna
mentally bound.
The Emperor kissed the bride on
both cheeks and then kissed his son.
the Empress doing likewise.
The bridal party slowly moved out,
followed by the Princes and Princesses,
but all others waited In the chapel,

most brilliant picture.
Quaint Torchlight Dance.
After supper had been served, a
torchlight dance, a unique practice at
weddings In the house of Hohenzol
lern for centuries, was performed in
a modified form by 12 pages bearing
thick candles about two and a half feet
tall.
The Crown Prince took the hand of
the Crown Princess and walked slowly
behind the pages, keeping step to the
music around a quadrangle formed by
men and women standing ten feet deep
along the sides of the drawing-room,
which is 105 by 50 feet, all bowing as
the bridal couple passed. The Emperor
tnen led the Crown Princess and the
Crown Prince led his mother around
the same walk. Next, the Crown Prin
cess took each of the other Princes and
the Crown Prince one of the other
Princesses around the hall, occasion
ally several at a time, so that preced
ence might not be disregarded. Once
Grand Duke Michael of Russia, Arch
duke Franz Ferdinand of Austria,
Crown Prince Gustav of Sweden and
the Duke of Oporto were walking with
the Crown Princess at the samo time,
two on either side. This function came
to a closb after 9 o'clock, the wedding
party having lasted more than four
nours.
The honeymoon probably will be
spent at Hubertstock, a hunting
lodge in a large forest near Eberswald,
Prussia. This is a simple sort of house
in the woods, where the Emperor goes
deerstalking.
Off for the Honeymoon.
After the conclusion of the dance.
the Crown Prince and the Crown Prin
cess In an open carriage drove to the
Stettin station, where a special train
was awaiting them. Attached to the
train was the Crown Prince's private
car. which ha3 Just been made for him
and which will be used in all his fu
ture travels. The Emperor, with all
the younger Princes, awaited the couple
at the station to say farewell.
The bridal pair have gone to Huber
tusstock. a hunting lodge in a large
forest near Eberswald. Prussia. This
Is a simple sort of house in the woods,
where It Is the Emperor's custom to go
