President Paul Morton of the Equit able Life Assurance society announced yesterday that he intends to divorce the Equitable from the Cafe Savarin as soon as possible. The society has run the restaurant and bar for a good many years; in fact, ever since the Cafe Sa varin company was incorporated, and the relation between the two has at times been the basis for widespread criticism among 'persons who objected to a life insurance company being en paged In selling intoxicating drinks. Here is' President Morton's statement: There is nothing new or sensational about the Cafe Savarin. There has been no change in its relation to the Equit able society, which now owns and ope rates it. I do not like the idea of the society benig in the restaurant business, but it is a condition that I found, and we will have to continue in the busi ness until I can make other arrange ments. It will be my effort to get the society out of the business, although, in lieu of rent, the Cafe Savarin is now netting the society profits which ap proximate what the rent ought to be. No officer, director or employe of the society is interested in any way in the profits of the cafe. Mr. Morton's statement was made in response tonewspaper criticism about the Kquitable's relation to the cafe. The statement that none of the socie ty's officers or director receives ' any profit from the cafe was received by many with surprie, as it was general ly supposed that several of the direc tors, comprising the old regime were stockholders in the company. The Cafe Savarin company is apparently then on ly a nominal affair. Its directors were at the beginning of the year Henry C. Dcming, Thomas D. Jordan, tieorge V. Turner and Daniel M. Junk. Mr. Deming is a director of the Equit able and president of the Mercantile Trust company. Mr. Jordan was compt roller of the society until President Mor ton dimiHed him becaute he refused to answer questions in regard to the no torious M.),000 blind loan, of wliich he was one of the trustees. Turner is the- Mercantile Trust com pany clerk who served as the figurehead in the Turner loan transaction, in which the Western National bank, through the efforts of Henry B. Hyde, Louis Fits- gerald and others, got more than $K),. 000 from the trust company on security which the federal banking authorities had refused to allow as an asset. Junk has a dck in the cashier's department of the Equitable, but his time for the last three or four years has been de voted larkely to the management of the cafe.

It waa during the preliminary ad vance of this storm that the compre hensive and strenuous effort was made to move the big Stella sea-raft from its bed on the spit in Young's bay, to the adjacent channel of the harbor, yester day afternoon. At 1 :S0 o'clock p. m. a fleet of seven steamers collected about the stranded, hsin hound leviathan in the lower bay, for the express, purpose of hauling it in to deep water and giving the steamer Francis 11. Leggett a chance to start Sao Francisco-ward with it. The Leggett had 700 feet of five-inch steel wire hawer attached to the raft with a deep-sea bend, so if the effort wa succe-ful, tlis and her convoy could get away without further trouble.
