This is one of the ways by which
Henry 33. Hyde became a multi-millionaire.
This is ono of the means
by which James H. Hyde has been
making money out of the s 'ety ainco
his father's death; and Mr. James H.
Hyde was quite an apt son, for when
the question of the increase of the
capital stock of the Equitable Trust
company, from $500,000 to $1,000,000,
came up, James H. Hyde, as chair
man of the executive and finance
committees of tbe society, thought it
was unwise for the society to take
its share of that allotment, but it was
a very wise thng for him to take his
own share -1 a very large portion
of that which belonged to the society.
I wish every policyholder of the so
ciety would "read Mr. Hyde's letter, to
which I have just referred; read it
carefully, and bear in mind all the
time that nenry B. Hyde absolutely
controlled the society, and when At
is stated that he declined to do cer
tain things it was simply Henry B.
Hyde who declined to do those things.
Henry B. Hyde represented a great
trust on one side the money of the
policqholders and on the other he
represented his own private Interests.
He controlled both. He loved mon
ey. What show d I the society have
in those transactions?"

"Tho Norvostl this morning prints
what is claimed is the actual text of
tho original draft of Minister of tho
Interior Bouligan's plan for tho form
ation of a representative assembly,
which bears out the forecasts of the
measure given In tho Associated
Press .dispatch. The question of elec
tion of members to the lower house of
the legislative body Is settled not on
the basis of property, but on that of
universal suffrage of men and women,
tho latter voting by proxy. The
classes absolutely debarred are Jevs,
the nomadic races, persons not of
Russian nationality, governs and other
imperial and local admin!strators,-and
all persons connected with tho police.
It is provided that the disability of
the Jews shall only continue until
their status shall have been defined by
the popular assembly. Persons con
victed of crime are also deprived of
suffrage. Tho emperor possesses the
right of absolute veto as "well as tho
power to prorogue tho assembly. The
presidents of the respective chambers
are to be chosen by the emperor and
he will have the right to suspend the
sittings. The Interpellation of minis
ters will take place behind closed
doors if reasons of state are pleaded.
The national assembly will control
the budget except in the case of per
manent and national defense appro
priations. The duoma is divided into
ten committees of finance, rural af
fairs, Industry, education, clergy, ad
ministration of justice, war, marine,
railroads and budget.

Jamos Dalrymple, the Glasgow expert,

but prove to be a failure. Mr. Dal
rymple denies that he ever made a
statement that is possible of such an
interpretation. Ho has said that mu
nicipal ownership to be successful
must be divorced from politics and
must be conducted in connection with
a strict civil service. In that he is
entirely In harmony with Mayor
Dunne. On his arrival homo Mr. Dal
rymple will make a written report to
Mayor Dunne, and that report will be
made public.
