Agents for Dr. Warner's Rust Proof corsets.
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

of the Equitable, but his time for the
last three or four years has been de
voted larkely to the management of the
cafe.

to move the big Stella sea-raft from its

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
