New York, July 11.-The Evening
Post today will say: Thomas F. Ry
an, in addition TO his purchase from
Hyde Of Equitable Life Assurance so
ciety control, also rules, with his asso
ciates. the Washington Insurance com
pany."
| New York, July 1.-THE World to.
day says:
| Revelations far more startling than
those in the report of Superintendent
Hendricks are contained in the testi.
mony contained in the state insurance
departments investigation of the
Equitable Life Assurance society.
Chauncey NJ. Depew testified that the
Depew Improvement company in
which he was interested, obtained a
loan from the Equitable of S250,000 on
property which the state insurance de-
partment valued at only $150,000.
Had to FOrecIOse.
He admitted that neither principal
nor interest had been paid and that
the Equitable had been forced to fore
close. He admitted that, as a member
of the executive committee of the
Equitable he had not advised this loan
but had voted for it. He confessed TO
making a promise that the Equitable
should be made whole, but in the same
breath said that the promise was not
legally binding.
Records Were False.
Jacob H. Schiff, confronted with the
records of the Equitable that Kuhn.
Loeb & Co. had sold a large amount
of Union Pacific preferred stock to the
society, swore that these records were
false. In various sales of bonds to the
Equitable by his firm he admitted that
a large loss was shown. He confessed
that he had been a dummy director,
but said that since the Equitable scan
daI had developed he had bought five
shares of the stock, paying $4,000 a
share.
Syndicate Bought stock.
II appeared from his testimony, that
Of Hyde and others, that the Equitable
had taken $2,000,000 worth of Union
Pacific preferred, apparently at the
of e. H. Hartman. 1t ap
Deared that this stock was under a
syndicate agreement that it should not
be sold. making the deal speculative
one. No record of this agreement was
put in evidence. Hyde said that Har-
rimau had it, but Hartman was not
called as a witness.

Improvements.

| Washington, July 11.-After an ex
haustive investigation covering a peri
cd of several months, Joseph L. Bris
| tow, special Panama railroad commits
sioner, has submitted to the secretary
Of war his report on trade conditions
| as affected by the isthmian railway
and its connections with certain steam.
ship companies.
The commissioner finds there is
good ground for the complaints con.
cerning the restrictions of commerce
| that were made possible by the monop.
olistic combination between the rail-
road company and steamship compa.
nies under the domination of the trans
| continental railroad lines prior to the
taking over of the Panama property by
the Uited States government.
Recommendations of Report.
The report makes the following re-
concentrations:
THAT the Panama railroad be con-
tinued as a commercial line: that its
facilities for handling commerce be
improved at once; that it be double
tracked and re-equipped with modern
rolling stock; that its port facilities be
enlarged by the construction of addi-
tiOnal wharves, and that modern facili-
ties for handling cargo be provided
THAT a schedule of rates for through
business be provided, fixing the charg-
es at the minima which the payment
of operating expenses and fair divi-
dend on the investment of the govern
ment will permit. The cost of hand
ling freight with improved facilities.
and not what it has cost in the past,
should be used as the basis in fixing
rates.
That the present policy of charging
a per cent of the rates on through busi-
ness, subject to certain minima, be ad-
hered to.
THAT the steamship line between
New York and Colon he retained.
To Break steamer Monopoly.
THAT the contracts with the Pacific
Mail Steamship company and the
South American lines be cancelled. and
the ports of Colon and Panama opened
to the use of all steamship lines on
equal terms.
THAT if, within a reasonable time,
a regular steamship passenger and
freight service is not established be
tween Colon and the gulf ports, a line
be established by the Panama railroad. |
THAT if the Pacific Mail Steamship |
company withdraws its present Pana-
ma line an effort be made TO induce |
some other company to establish a |
frst-class service between the import |
ant Pacific coast ports of the United |
States and Panama, and, in the event |
that no other company is prepared to |
furnish the service that it be provided |
by the Panama railroad.
THAT in traffic connections Ameri- |
can steamship lines be favored so far |
as can be done consistently with the |
treaty obligations of the United |
States"

Mr Bristow says it clearly appears
that the Pacific Mail Steamship COM

business between the Pacific and Aa-
lantic ports of the United States, and
declares the statement of the steam
ship managers that there is not suffi-
cient business at Pacific ports other
than San Francisco to justify ships
stopping there TO be unwarranted by
the facts.

GRAIN EXPORTS ON INCREASE

WASHINGTON, July l0.-Of the
gain in the exports from the United
States during the first eleven months
of this fiscal year little more than
half was shipped through the district
of the Puget sound, and little less
than half was in goods shipped
through the district of San Francisco.
The con- plete record of exports for the
first eleven months, as shown by
statements issued ON the govern
ment bureau of statistics, gives the
shipments from Puget Sound as $s7.
SIT, 1875 and from San Francisco SAC,
2I9,174.
Although San Fraucisco's exports
are still larger than those from the
Sound,it is significant that the gain
in shipments from the Sound ports
during the last fiscal year as compar-
ed with the fiscal year 1904 was rs
per cent, while the gain in outbound
commerce from San Francisco was
just about so per cent.
