Senator Says Depew Improvement
Company Will Be Reorganized
and Iay Debts Morton
Says Charges Unjust.
NEW .YORK, Augy 31. Announce
ment was made today by the officers of
the EqultabJe liifc Assurance i-SooIety
thar the debt to the society of the
Depew Improvament Company was paid
this afternoon, the principal and In
terest amounting-'to $293,960.82. The
correspondence Incident to the transac
tion was also, at the suggestion of
President Paul Morton, made public to
the end, Mr. Morton said, that the lm-
- predion that Senator Depew caused
the Equitable to loan money on inadc-
: qua to security, which was unjust to
Mr. Depew, might be removed.
The correspondence consists of three
letters of even date, the first addressed
io Mr. Morton by Henry B. Anderson,
of the law firm of Anderson & Ander
lon, attorneys for the Depew Improve
ment Company, announcing that the
; reorganization committee of the Depew
Improvement Company -had perfected
- Ihe title to the property not covered
J by the Equitable mortgage and was
prepared to take over the property
which secured the loan, paying in cash
io the Equitable the face of the loan
ind interest.
Depew Defends His Action.
The second letter, also addressed to
Mr. Morton, is from Senator Depew,.
who states oxpllcltly his part In the
transaction between the Improvement
Company and the Equitable Socloty and
points out what he declares are Inac
curacies In the published statements,
through which a grave injustice Tias
been done him. Among other things
Mr. Depew says:
1 bad nothing to do with the organization
sf the Depew Improvement Company, not-even
the use of my name, nor waa 1 In any way
connected with It until, five years after 1U
incorporation, I purchased for 1100.000 in cash
one-fifteenth cf the stock of the company. The
cqmpany at that time had a tract of lan'J
sonsistlng of about 2700 subdidlved lota and
205 acres not subdivided.
The Equltd.We Life loaned $250,000 upon 1575
of the company's Jous. These lots were se
lected as oontltutlng the most valuable tracts
there At the time the mortgage was made
the lots were selling, the lowest at $300 ae4
the highest at 600 each. The valuation
piwtio m lu tit. i nnc was a&. mat upon
tne balance of tho land owned uy the com
pany $540,000. a total valuation of the prep
erty of f9S3,750. An appraisal was at the
same time made and submitted to the Equita
ble by William B. Cutter, one of the leading
real estate men of Buffalo, In which he ap
praised tho value of the lota loaned on at
5768.000.
In IDOl a real estate depression set In In and
about Buffalo. . which lowered values and
checked the growth of the town of Dopew. It
waa at this time. October. 3001. and not
when the loan was made, in January. lt9$.
that ' the Insurance department appraised a
part of- the property covered by the Equlta
ble'e mortgage at $150,000.
Company Will Pay Debts.
Mr. Depew then recites the charges
made against him, denying each. Of tne
.charges which related to transactions
resulting from the default of the com
pany and the foreclosure of the loan
by the Equitable, he says that as a re
sult of the company's embarrassment a
reorganization was determined upon
and. though there was unavoidable
dolay, the plan was progressing as
rapidly, as possible. The company was
.to be, Inc.orpbrated and was to issue
bonds for- $750,0.10 to supply funds to
take up tho Equitable mortgage, prin
cipal -and interest, and to pay the other
deTjls'of the company. There was not
any dther purpose than that the Equit
able should be fully protected.
The foregoing communications were
acknowledged In the. following letter
from Mr. Morton to Mr. Dopew:
1 am very much pleased to receive your
letter and the communication of the reorgan
iration committee of the Depew Improvement
Company, which dlfposea of the matter in a
manner entirely satisfactory to the Equitable.
An Impression of the situation which was er
roneous and unjust to you should be dispelled.
I think that it can best ;be removed by making
these two communications public, and will do
ao if this action will be agreeable to you.

STRUGGLE IX CHICAGO TOR
EIGHT-HOUR DAY BEGINS.
Employers Start Trouble by Open
Shop Movement Many Firms
Remain Neutral.
CHICAGO. Aug. 31. An acute stage has
been reached In a new labor war in Chi
cago. Nineteen f the larger printlng
houpan of Chicago wore without -union
compositors .tills evening, a result of a
series of strikes Inaugurated by Typo
graphical Union No. 16 against members
of tho Chicago Typothetae, the purpose of
the strike toeing to compel the Typothetae
as an organization to accept the demands
for a -closed shop and that eight hours
constitute a day's work. Further strikes
are expected in case other houses under
take to do work for concerns at which
strikes have been begun as the result of
the posting of notices of an Intention to
inaugurate the open shop and nine hours,
where it is said contrary conditions had
leen the rule.
Pending such assistance to strlko-af-fected
firms the strike loaders pronounced
the strike complete and declared the out
come a matter of endurance, a spread
here or to other cities not being contem
plated, for the present at least.
Not counting other employes in the 19.
printing-houses Involved, printers to the
number of nearly 00 are idle. The strik
ers claim that eight large establishments
will remain neutral, not accepting work
for houses where strikes are in progress;
and that in the eight establishments and
olsewhere. 2500 members of the union will
be at work helping to supply funds for
strike bonoflts. Among the establish,
mcnts . at which the latest cf rit
inaugurated today were Poole Bras., M. A.
jjononue oc uo. and the Methodist Book
Concern.
Contrary to assertion of the officials of
the Typographical Union. Secretary
nnimu. ui me lypometae. says emphat
ically that he docs not know of a single
desertion and .hat the effect of the strike
would be overcome in short order.
Following is a summary of today's de
velopments, as viewed by the officers of
Typographical Union No. 16:
Firms in the Typothetae that were allowed
lo, fn today with unlos corapooitor are no
privileged either because they have promised
not to aid the opponent of the 8-hour day in
the union present straggle against the Typo
thotae as an organization, or becaase they
employ only a few printers and can be j-t-tnlttted
to run without Interference by the
union. Such concerns not being molest will
. iwnvw.c .mv wive pseuKOa
thnmsvlve-. to remain noneorabatlve until Jan
uary 1. when the proposed eight-hour work
flay plan will go Into effect In every union
composing-room In the country. In the mean
time no house employing union printers will
tfacas l Wrk t0r any 0t lhe 'ruck
The other side of the situation was
presented by the secretary of the em
ploying association. He said:
Employers in thin controversy feel confident
of euoceos. At present we have 1S5 non
union printers at work in the plants that
the union thought to tie up and cripple com
? SV Th"ir art? m men on their way
to Chicago from outside places, and it will
SL).,10BJ?K.beforLtne rtrlk cea! to
affect the Chicago Typothetae member.
At the union headquarters today it
leaked out that union printers from va
rious parts of the country are taking ad
vantage of the offer of Chicago strike,
affected print-shops to come to this city
in the guise of strike-breakers, all trav
eling expenses paid. After reaching here
the unionists desert instantly.

-CHICAGO. Aug,. JTL-ConflicUng orders

tee and by the Teamsters' and Ttoight
handlers Unions may result In trouble on

Some months ago the Chicago Federa

PLEA FOB MIT
American Jews Present Case
of Russian. Brethren.
HAVE RIGHT TO MEDDLE
Influx of Immigrants Results From
"Persecution, They Tell Wltlc.
EqunrRIghts Mnkc Jews
Loyal' Citizens.
NEW YORK,' Aug. 3L What- is an
nounced to be the full text of a letter
concerning Russia's treatment of the
Jews, submitted to Serglus Wltte, tho
Russian peace envoy, by-a committee of
Hobrew bankers and merchants is pub
lished today by the American. The com
munication Is signed by Jacob H. Schlff.
Jacob Sellgman, Adolph Lcwlsobn and
others. It covers thoroughly the argu
ments and -contentions of the committee
made before Mr. Wltte by the delegation
recently for the amelioration of the con
dltlon under which people of the Hebrew
race now live in the land of Emperor
Nicholas. Civil and political liberty for
the Jews, on an equality with all other
Russian subjects. Is the keynote of the
communication.
"Mindful of our 'privileges in meeting
you during your recent stay at Ports
mouth," the letter says, "we deem it well
before you leave the United States and
return to your own country to submit in
writing, if only for a thorough under
standing or for further reference, some of
the statements to which we gave expres
sion when we had the privilege of visit
ing you and of listening to your valuable
views." The letter continues:
Concerns Other Nations.
We. believe that the claim of the Russian
Government that the qucsUob of the condition
of the Hebrews In Ruaeta Is a purely domestic
one, with which the people and government of
other countries nave no cancers, oaa no toager
be maintained. When a government, either
through the application ef exceptional lawr,
or by other meant, forces great masses of its
subjects to seek to improve their condition
through emigration to other countries, the peo
ple e these countrlcei which give an asylum
to such refugees from 'persecution and oppres
sion, may. prlth entire propriety. crfiicUe the
-cosditleas which- hive caused cue an influx
into their country and may properly Inetot that
these conditions nhall be improved la such
a manner and to euch extent that the causes
of the forced emigration shall eoaso le exist,
and this without justifying the onarg that
they are meddling with affairs that should not
eeecera them.
TM believe to be the attitude of the
American people in general. We, as Jwn,
have the added interest la the eoadUloa ef
the Jeira of Russia, which ties ef -raee aad
faith always aad properly call forth, aad we
deem it, therefore, nothing less than our plala
duty to do aH in our 'power to procure an
amelioration la their status.
Should Grant Full Equality.
As we stated to you at our eoafereacf. It
Is our very decldod oeavfeUoa that nothing but
tha graaUng of full civil rights to. the Jewish
rubjeeu of the Cxar will entirely remove the
condltloBS which have been the eauM of so
much disturbance In RuMa aad adverse erltl
eWm abroad. You have aaswered us that the
Rue&taa Jew in" general Is not sufficiently pre
pared for the cxerdte ef full civil rights, aad
that the Russian people are such that the Jew
cannot be placed on an equal footing with
them without causing eerioua wteraal disor
ders, aad you have suggested that It might
be advisable and practicable gradually to re
move existing disabilities and thus to prepare
the way for an eventual total granting of civic
equality.
As to this, we aver that the mltHoa or more
Rupsiaa Jews who have come to the United
States have become good cttiseae. notwith
standing their suddea emergeaee la conn ac
tios with the darkness late the most latease
daylight ef political and civil liberty, and
that they have shown themselves entirely
equal to the respoaeiMHtlfn which have been
placed upon them as citizens of thla great
republic
Nor has It ever bea different la modern
history and experleaeetf. XapeJeon.' In lfcoS,
Germany at a somewhat later period, aad Bag
laad, evea la Cromwell's time, granted with
out Injury to the state full civil tights to the
Jews, living then uader eoadlUoas much dark
er thaa those under which they sow live in
Runaia.
Remove Friction at Once.
White it may be true that a state ef eamlty
against the Jews exists amoag part of the
Russian people, for which the Russian Gov.
erameat is to some extent rt-ppeastbte, still.
In our opinion, placing the Jew at once on a
footing of civil equality with the root of the
population would caottt no more fricUoa than
each oae of the steps leading to ibe same
end. This very objection urged by you ems
to us a good reason why this should be settled
once and for all, instead ef attowlag it to drag
on painfully, creating aew eHsturbaaees at
every stage.
The claim that among the ranks of those
who In Russia are seeking U undermine
governmental authority there are a consid
erable number of Jews may. pcrbarr. be
true. In fact, it would be rather surprising
it aome of those to terribly afflicted by perse
cution and exceptional laws should not at
last hare turned agataert their aercllees op
preteors. But it U rafe to assert that, as a whole,
the Jewish population of Ruaila is tawabM.
lag and there Is little doubt that, once given
civil rights, with all the opportunities which
this will carry with It. the Jew In Rutrfa
will become as- valuable a member of the
commonwealth and strive to be as ardent a
lover of his country as have been the Jews
of every country which accorded them rights
as citizens. The fact wilt not be disputed
that In the United States the Jew has become
an ardent American. In England a loyal
Kagllshmaa. In Trance a patriotic Frenchman,
and In Germany a thorough German.
Hussia Alienates America.
The people of the United- States, as" must
be known to you, are oloce observers of alt
that In taking piaee In -Russia during this mo
mentous period of her existence. Their sym
pafbles are for the time "bdsg alienated from
Russia,' because, liberty and justlce-levlng,
they have 'recoiled from the horrors of Klrall
neft and from the terrible cesdiUoBS which
though long existing, have only now been-fully
disclosed.
Jewish Influence In the Ualied States, es
pecially political, carries great weight and
is steadily increasing, being constantly recruit
ed from the -large Immigration of Russian
Jnws. Can It be expected that tho Influence
of- the American Jew upon, public opinion win
be exerted to the advantage of 'the country
which systematically degrades his brethren In
race, making their Uvea almost unendurable
No matuef .how many Jews may emigrate
there will always remain a minimum of six
or seven million Jews in Rua&a, and thus it
appears quite evident that the Ruaso-Jewlsh
question must be settled la Russia settled
promptly and thoroughly In the enlightened
sprlt which your Imperial master has shown
in so many other Instances. Thla "vexatious
question will remove at once and forever a
factor so damaging to Russia at borne and
abroad. We, therefore, earnestly hope that
the exchange of views which has taken place
between us may lead to that solution which
we are convinced you and the other best
minds of your country actually desire.
Detective HartmSn Reinstated.
Cliy Dctectivo L. C. Harthian, who' was
Suspended recently on account of over
staying his time while on a trip to. Chl
.cago after a prisoner, was reinstated
yesterday 'afternoon by the police acom
xnlttee of the executive board, and wijl
co back oh the' force today, although he
will not receive any pay during the term
of his suspension.
There seemed to be some doubt in the
minds of the committee as to whether he
received the recall telegram sent to him
hy Chief Gritxmacher while on the train
going Bast, and this, coupled, with the
act that he introduced some additional
evidence In his behalf, caused the com
mittee to adopt the course It did. al
though not without admonishing Hart
man to be more careful in future.
