HYDE, DEMANDS AN INVESTIGATION Vic President ! iirnir Parties Are Trrlnn to Get Po. session of Assels of the Sorletr. NEW YORK. April l.-After a conference of Ave hours In the New York office of State Superintendent of Insurance Hen dricks, at which were present representa tives of the various Interests In the Equita ble Life Assurance society controversy, two official statements were Issued, one of which suRRcsted a solution of the difficul ties and a second some hours later by James H. Hyde, first vice president of the society, who declared that he hud requested the state Insurance department to make a thnrouffh and drastic Investigation of the entire management of the society." These two statements were the first which have been given out since the present series of conferences began. At today's meeting were present Superin tendent Hendricks, E. H. Harriman, James H. Hyde, John D. Crimmins, Henry Mor genthau, E. W. Bloomlngdale and these attorneys representing- various Interests: Ellhu Root, W. O. Oulliver, Edward Lau torbach. Frank H. Piatt, J. B. Stanchfleld. Judge W. H. Cohen and Balnbridge Colby. It was at the conclusion of a long ses sion that the first of the statements came out. None of those present would offer any comment on it nor would they discuss Equitable affairs, maintaining the silence which has characterized the attitude of everyone Interested since Mr. Hendricks arrived In the city. Mr. Hyde's statement, besides calling for an Investigation, declared that the "scan dalous charges relating to his conduct as a director and officer" were false, and that these charges "have their origin In an effort by ' Individuals to obtain control of the Equitable society and Its assets." Plan of the Settlement. The following statement, which embraces the views of all the Interests represented In the controversy, was given out at the close of the conference: At a conference held before the super intendent of insurance, the Crimmins com mittee; representing policy holders In the Kquitnhle assurance society, submitted for his consideration their report. They demanded a representation In the directory at the ratio of twenty-eight to twenty-four, one-half to be elected in 1905 and the other half In lflofi, the two existing vacancies In the board of directors to be filled by men whose names were to be proposed by the policy holders' committee. These two names as suggested by the policy holders' committee were to be put upon the executive committee, the execu tive committee consisting of twelve mem bers. It was suggested that two additional names for members of the executive com mittee should be designated by Cornelius N. Bliss. In order to secure four vacan cies to enable the policy holders' commit tee to have two representatives ana air. Bliss, the two others sucgested. It was sug gested that the superintendent of insur ance should designate the four nnmes which should retire from the present execu tive committee. The council for the equitable society. Mr. Root, stated that he would recommend Its acceptance to the board of directors. Attitude of President Alexander. The statement issued directly after the meeting has (he approval of all sides to the controversy, except that the attitude of Mr. Alexander, the president of the company, towards the agreement Is not known. His position could not be learned, Inquiry at his home being met with the announcement he had retired. Should he consent the' plan outlined will be adopted. If he dissents the agreement will still go before the board of directors at its next meeting for Its action. If Mr. Alex ander does not approve the result reached at today's conference his future course Is a matter of conjecture. As explained to the Associated Press by one of the at torneys present, the agreement reached means that the Crimmins policy holders' committee, as a party of the first part, Mr. Hyde, principal stockholder, as party of the second part, Mr. Hendricks, super intendent of Insurance, as party of the third part, and Mr. Root, chief counsel of the Equitable society, as party of the fourth part, have unanimously decided upon a plan of mutuallzatlon and Mr. Root, as counsel for the company, will suggest Its adoption by the board of di rectors at a meeting which Is to be ape elally called to act upon It. Until the board of directors act on the plan to be submitted the changes In the personnel of the board which It contem plates. Including the names of the four members of the executive committee whom Superintendent Hendricks Is to name for retirement, will not be known. Mr. Crimmins Talks. John D. Crimmins of the policy holders' committee In an Interview ' said tonight: "The result of the conference in Mr. Hend ricks' office means that there will be In jected Into the new board of directors four men not friendly to Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde had to compromise and the policy holders will have control of affairs in a period of twenty months." "Will the men who Mr. Hendricks shall oelect to leave the directorate do so, 3lnce according to Mr. Hendricks, he has not the power to make them?" was asked. "It has been agreed by all parties con cerned that they shall do so," answered Mr. Crimmins. "The next movement," said Mr. Crlm- I mlns," will be the meeting of the board of ! directors, at which we expect the decision Table Rock to watch the trains.

Neb., April 1. (Special.) Al bert Kinney, the 16-year-old son of Daniel Kinney of "C" precinct, was bound over to the district court by County Judge Leavens Wednesday afternoon on the charge of shooting at his father.

MEN WANT NO LOWER WAGES Ice and Coal Drivers of SI. Strike to Enforce Old Contrnet. Louis ST. I.OriS. April 1. A general strike of Ice and coal wngon drivers was Instituted here today, the strike order having been voted at a mettlng of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters last night for the purpose of forcing the signing of a contract guaranteeing last year's scale of wages. Practically every coal and Ice wagon driver In St. Louis has quit work, and many hotels and other large consumers were forced to make their own deliveries. It Is estimated that 1,100 men rre out, but no disturbances have been reported,. tlon each director of the policy holders Interests must be an actual policy holder himself and the Idea Is to secure for this office not the policy holders of large inter ests, but rather those of medium Interests men of ordinary walks of life who are more liable to take a deeper Interest In the society's affairs than the others. I am happy to soy the affairs of the society have been satisfactorily ' adjusted; the policy holders will have the ful management of the society within twenty months' time and In the Investigation by the policy hold ers' committee we found no cause for urv easiness." fUierman & MoConnell Pmr Co., 10th and Dodg Bta., Omaha, are authorised to give to ytt purchaser of six bottles tf TJricsol t fj.OO, a poaitlre guarantee that Erlt wllf care your Rheumatism.

REORGANIZATION OF IOWA DEMOCRATS Cluh Is Formed . Which Will Be Ex tended Into Every County In the State H. C. Evans Elected President. DES MOINES. Ia., April 1. William J. Bryan was the guest of honor tonight at the Jefferson banquet of Iowa democrats. which was planned largely for the purpose of beginning reorganization of democracy In thiB state. Nearly 300 were in attend ance, coming from all sections of the state, but the gold democrats Were con spicfous by their absence. At a meeting preceding the banquet a plan was adopted for the formation of an Iowa democratic club which will he extended Into every county In the state, pledges will be secured from all democrats possible to attend all caucuses and primaries of the party. Of ficers of the state club are: President, H. C. Evans, Des Moines; secretary, A. R. McCook. Elma.; treasurer, O. F. Relnhardt, Newton. Speech of Mr. Bryan. "Back to the People" was the subject of W. J. Bryan's address tonight at the Jefferson banquet of Iowa democrats. "Back to the people," he said, "Is the phrase that best describes the tendency which Is manifesting Itself In the nation and In most of the states. For a period of years the tendency was toward corporate domination and the voice of tho people grew weaker and wenker on comparison with the Influence of money. Btit the tide has changed and we see evidences every where of a determination on the part of the masses to assert themselves In the management of the parties and In the con duct of the government." In support of these statements Mr. Bryan cited tho agitation In favor of primary laws In Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minne sota and elsewhere. He cited further the recent action of a republican legislature In Kansas In defying the Standard Oil company and the general agitation In favor of government regulation and- control of railroad rates and of the steps taken by congress to this end. Continuing, Mr. Bryan said in part: Public sentiment is gradually crystallising to the proposition that the people have a right to have what they want In govern ment, and this I need not tell you Is the democratic position. To deny either the capacity of the people for self-government or the right of the people to regulate their own affairs and to deal with all questions that concern them Is treason to our theory of government and this treason Is about to be rebuked by a revival of fnlth in the people. This tendency . to restore to the people their lust rights and to put them in possession of their own affairs Is not going to stop with the trust question or with the railroad question. It will ex tend to every issue. When applied' to the tariff question it will put an end to the system that has been In vogue for a quar ter of a century under which the manu facturers have been permitted to write the schedules and determine the amount of the collections that they must take from the people through the operation of high tariff laws. The application of this princi ple will bring together the capitalist and the laborer, even the financial question which has not only been overshadowed by the question of monopoly, but tins lessened In Importance by the Increased volume of money. This question will also feel the Impulse of the movement "back to the pennle." The doctrine that a few financiers can safely be permitted to dictate the flna-nelal policy of the nation will be overthrown with the overthrow of the doctrine that railroad magnates can safely be allowed to control the traffic of the nation or trust mtignates the industries of the country. Democratic Position Vindicated. The democratic position Is being vlndl. cated and the democrats face the future with hope and courage. The last election proved the folly of the attempt to make the democratic party a conservative party or a competitor with the republican party for the favor of the trusts and syndicates. The aggressive and progressive element the radical element, if you please, of the democratic party 's again in control of the party. The democratic party is again united and It Is united upon the basis of a forward movement. As today organized tha t-urnihlienn mrtv In under the control of the corporations. The reform element I In the party is protesting and aemanaing that this leadership shall be overthrown. However much democrats may wish to see the reform element In the republican party successful. It is Inevitable that the triumph of the reform element rust come r through convulsions in the republican party, us the reform came tnrougn a con vulsion In the democratic party. But out of these convulsions will come good; re form can come In no other way. The democratic party has lost In three campaigns and the majority has increased and yet the party Is stronger today than it has been any time since the polls closed in 1W2, because It stands upon solid ground and because events have been proving the correctness of the position taken by it. The democrats who have been keeping the faith have no doubt of the final tri umph of their principles. The forces that are behhid the truth are as irresistible and as constantly at work as the forces of nature which bring forth the harvest from the seed that Is sown, and sustained by faith in the triumph of their cause the democrats are ready for the fight of l!ws. Wherever In any state republican reform ers propose legislation In the Interest of the people they will receive democratic support and the democrats will thus prove the sincerity of their purpose. If through republican initiative, reforms are accom plished democrats will share In the honor of securing these reforms and if repub licans fall to secure reforms the efforts made will furnish an education, of which democrats con take advantage In their next appeal to tne voters. Other peakers were Jerry B. Sullivan, H. C. Evans, Des Moines; John Dennl- son, Clarion; Louis Murphy, Dubuque. HIGHER WAGES IN MILLS I nlted States Steel Corporation Adda About 90,000,000 to Its An nual Expenses.

TALKING OF POISONED FOOD State Dairy and Food Commissioners Will Hold Convention at Portland. CHICAGO, April 1. Members of the ex ecutlve committee of the National asso elation of State Dairy and Food Depart ments met here today to arrange a pro gram for the annual organization of the convention to be held In Portland. Ore , July 10, 11 and 12. It was decided that this year the discussion of the subjects on thu progrum will be confined to mem bers of the organization. Reports are to be submitted showing that 4&ri.tflO Infants died In the United States lsst year from the effects of food poisons. The great mortality among In fants due to Impure foods Is said by John Hurley, secretary of the Indiana Board of Health, to have reached 65 per cent of the total deaths among children In the United States last year. What She Saw In The LookinfrGlass. SHE stood before her glass in the sitting-room. The girl she saw there had a well-rounded face and figure, expressive eyes, and her cheeks had the freshness of rose petals; her hair was wavy and beautiful. She looked well and strong. The reason for it Is given in her own letter, as follows: "I am glad to be able to testify as to the merits of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription for the many ills that women Buffer with," writes Miss Gertrude Mit chell (President Young Ladies' Cluistian Endeavor Society), 43 Columbia St., E., Detroit, Mich. "After many years of suffering and pain, I took your medicine, and in a short time began to feel stronger, became more regular and didn't have the bearing -down pains which had been my lot for so long. Continued Its use until I was a well woman, and shall never cease to be very grate ful that it was brought to my notice. I have no pains, and feel much stronger generally." The above Is a fair portrait of Miss Mitchell, in the looking-glass, although it by no means does her justice, as she is much handsomer than a mere picture like this can portray. The fact is a woman can't look beautiful that is drag ged down with pains at regular Inter vals, who suffers from headaches, back aches, or spine-aches, frequently. Such a woman soon acquires wrinkles, a sal low complexion, dark circles about the eyes, and a general feeling of weakness, which brings misery of mind and body. To keep one's good looks the body must be healthy the feminine functions must be regular. Woman was not intended to suffer, and there is no reason why she should. A healthy body will usually be a shapely body, and no means at hand will more quickly restore the womanly functions to a healthy state than Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Dr. Pierce, during a long period of practice, found that this prescription made entirely of roots and herbs, with out the use of alcohol, was positive IB its action. After using this renieoy lor many years in nis pnvsic -put it up in a form that would make it easily procurable, and it can be had at any store where medicines are handled. THE MARRIAGE QUESTION. iiV,,,Vi tianv Tien n1e mairv without reasoning aboi. it, and do not know the word romancr, they feel it and act it all their lives and are content. There are unhappy married lives, but a large per centage of these unhappy homes are due to the illness of the wife, mother or daughter. The more civilized or cul tured a race becomes, doing with lets and less physical exercise in the out door air, and with the wearing of corsets and other modish customs, tne more likely are the women to suffer from womanly ills. Every woman should know what right Uttng is for perfect health and a fair complexion she should occasionally take a vegetable laxative such as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant relicts. Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable and uniform cures, a record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors and makers of Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay $ 500 in legal money of the United States for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weak ness, Prolapsus, or Falling of womb, which thev cannot cure. All they ask is a fair ana reasonable trial of their meansof cure. Could any test be more fair showing the faith of the makers ? Do not listen to the arguments of the dealer that his own make is better. It means better profit to him, that's all. He insults your in telligence when he tries to make you change your mind, to take a substitute for the standard remedy which has en joyed years of success and the testimony of thousands in its favor. Dr. Pierce by no means confines him self to prescribing his well-known medi cines. He tells you in the most common-sense way what ails you, what you ought to do, what line of treatment should be followed out in your particular case, and if your case does not indicate the need of his proprietary medicine, he tells you plainly and frankly what you do need, and the best possible method of improving your health. If you are a young woman just entering upon the duties of life, you should have good med ical advice of a confidential nature. If you're a mother of children, you may want advice about yourself and how best to put your system in order that your children may be healthy. To sufferers from chrome diseases which do not readily yield to treatment, or to people who are past the youthful stage of life and want confidential advice aWtt their ailments or their physical condition, Dr. Pierce offers to carefully consider your case and give you the best medical advice within his power, free of cost to you.
