Son. Denies Stories That Father Re

NEW YORK. June 24. (Special.)
Jamas Hazon Hyde today denied the
story printed In the newspapers to the
effect that the estate of his father had
ever received a sum of money from the
Equitable Life Assurance Socioty, said to
amount to 13,000.000. in settlement of
claims on account of commissions to his
.father on premiums. He made this state
ment: "This statement is on a nar with other
wild stories that have born printed from
time to time since the Equitable trouble
began. There was. no system or arrange
ment undor which my fathor received 1
por cent or any per cent on premiums.
There was no settlement of any such
claims with my fathor in which he re
colved $6,000,000 or any other amount. As
for my personal interest in this matter,
I have no feeling, because I .shall have
an opportunity to be herd myself after
the heat of this controversy has subsided.
But I have no right to permit the mem
ory of my father to be "defamed. His
life was characterized by undying zeal
for the good of the Equitable Society.
"If the Superintendent of Insurance had
takon the precaution to look into the his
tory of loases to various safe deposit
companies made during my father's life,
he would have found that the society has
made vast sums out of these loases. In
renpect to the lease to the Mercantile
Safe Deposit Company, I will say that
this company was formerly owned by the

be was commissioned by President Boose-
colt. Francis B. Loomls. Assistant Sec
retary of State, sailed for Southampton

cerning tho mission Mr. Loomls would

"I am not only going as special Am
bassador to receive Paul Jones' body, but
also have been commissioned by the
President to perform a seerot mission for
the State Donartmont while, abroad, l
must decline positively to state what my
mission Is."

secret mission would prevent him from

Paul Jones, as he bad expected to do, but
that he hoped to return in about a raontn.

Troops Not Popular.
When asked tonight why he did not
make a raid today on Delmar track, in
compliance with Governor Folk's In
structions, Sheriff Herpel said he did not
believe In raiding, and Intimated If troops
were aent Into the country they might be
shot down.
He was asked to make an official state
ment, and the following statement was
dictated by State Senator A. E. L. Gard
ner, of SL Louis County, who opposed
the repeal of the Breeders law In the
last Legislature and who is the legal
adviser of Sheriff HerpeL He also is
said to be the legal representative of the
Delmar Racing Association.
Senator Gardner spoke for Sheriff Her
pel In making tho following statement:
"I am against raids in tho practical
meaning of that term, which means a
seizure of persons or property without
logical process of law or evidence of vio
lation of the law. A raid, or the use of
the militia, means a usurpation of tho
judicial powers of the state guaranteed
by the constitution and by military force.
"An appeal to bayonets Is the first
threat of a- bigot, fired by fanatical zeal.
his personal ambition and Ideas against
the guaranteed liberties of the people."
Sheriff Herpel agreed that what Senator
Gardner has dictated was the expression
of' his personal and official feelings in
the matter.
Further he said:
Sheriff Asserts Himself.
- "I .am the Sheriff of St. Louis County,
and have not requested any assistance
from the Governor. Troops will not be
sent Into this county legally until I have
made such request and I believe the
county -authorities are abundantly able to
handlo the situation as it exists at pres
ent. I am under a bond of 530.000 and
cannot make arrests Indiscriminately, and
I shall not do so until I have sufficient
evidence to protect myself and bondsmen.
I feel that the course which the county
officlals have taken Is all that the law
contemplates, and It Is the course which
will bo followed by us in the future.
"If troops come In here they are liable
to get shot. I do not say that the Sheriff
or tho Sheriffs deputies will bo respon
sible for the shooting, but some of the
citizens around here might not llko the
idea of sending in soldiers."
It was suggested to Sheriff Herpel that
an impression prevailed that In case
members of the National Guard came Into
the county they might be arrested for
disturbing the peace.
"Well, If they disturbed my peace they
surely would be arrested," was his re
ply. '

Mrs. Anna Beadlxeat Salem, Or., sayst "As a re
sult of childbirth four years ago I passed into a
very serious condition. It left me with, a leucor
rhoeal condition, backache, pain in both my sides
and headache. I doctored with, a number of doctors
without benefit until at last, reading of so many
cases similar to mine being treated successfully by
the X-Radlum Medical Institute. I determined to
consult them. At that time I was In a very- miser
able condition, had pain and soreness all over the
region of the ovaries, backache, leucorrhoea. kid
ney and bladder trouble, vomiting after meals, with
severe bloating and rifting of gas from stomach.
My periods were so painful I was unable to do any
work and had to spend most of my time In bed. I
was weak and very nervous, could not sleep. How
thankful I am for the relief afforded by the Liquid
SaasblBe treatment. I feel like a different person.
