The Fight in the Equitable Life Assurance Society
OLDLETTfRS COMING OUT
Young nr. Hyde States in a Commit nication to the Directors That Pres ident Alexander Tried to Black mail Him Into Acquiesenee.

New York, April 4.-The fight in the EouitabIe Life Assurance society as stunned new phase tonight when sev- eraI letters that heretofore have. been carefully kept secret were made pub lie Further interest was aroused by a persistent report emanating from an apparently reliable source and so far not denied that Vice President Hyde and his friends in the society had de- cided to assume the aggressive.
 According to the report the Hyde uartv will force James w. Alexander and C.. E. TarSen to retire from pres idency and second vice presidency, re- spectively. A meeting of the direct ors will be held next Thursday. This report is strengthened tonight by the fact that both of the parties gave out certain letters and statements bearing on the questions in dispute.
 MT. Hyde's contribution was a letter which he wrote to the Equitable direc- tors on February 15' when the fight for naturalization first came officially before the board At the time this letter was carefully concealed and only it's geenral tenor was allowed to be- come known. The letter is a lengthy history of the Equitable and MT Hyde's position under the terms of his fathers bequests, and in it MT. Hyde formally charges President Alexander with "a gross breach of trust to my father and me"
 Mir Alexander's contribution to the history of the controversy is his let ter to the state superintendent of in- surance defining his position and ac- quiescing in the compromise plan fol the naturalization of the society It i: interesting in that he declared his con sent was given with reluctance be cause he felt that he could not tak' the responsibility of rejecting even |

St. Petersburg, April 5.- The police arrested yesterday in Neszky Prospect man disguised as a carriage driver, presumably belonging to the same or ganization as the twelve persons ar rested last week for supposed con nection with terrorists scheme. There is little doubt that there was plot directed against the life of General Trepoff and the latest arrest indi- cates that the terrorists are acting on a concerted plan with auxiliaries and lookouts to aid the actual perpetrators of assassination.

measure of control by the policy hold CTS. On behalf of Hyde a statement is given out with reference to this letter which charges that Alexander's action in this matter was a breach of faith.
 Second Vice President Gage E. Tar bell is the target of an open statement given out by Alexander S. Bacon, counsel for certain policy holders. This statement declares that Tarbell is the real leader of the Alexander forces and brings up the charge that Tarbell, just prior to the beginning of the present controversy, sold back to the equitable for the sum of $135, 900 all his interests in renewals or future business.
 In Hyde's letter to the directors he says he was called into conference with President Alexander on February 3, when but two business days inter vened before the directors were to meet to elect officers and told that "a large number of officials of the Equitable society under his leader ship and initiative had signed a me morial addressed to tile directors de manding that steps be taken which would result in placing the policy holders in control of the corporation to the exclusion of stock control" The letter also says he was given a legal opinion to the effect that it was the duty of the officers to bring this mat ter before the directors, together with a paper signed by a majority of the officers charging Hyde with personal unfitness for the office of vice presi- dent.
 l The letter continues: Alexander demanded my immediate consent that my control of the company through the ownership of a majority of its stock be at once relinquished; that l should consent that the functions of the stock should be superseded under reorganization, through which a vote of the policy holders by proxy should select a management to control the ] company, and that I should personally resign and withdraw absolutely from any connection with the contro or [ management of the company, accom- panying the demands by threats of exposure of ilnproprieties on my part
 in both my personal and official con- | duct, and impressing upon me that a
 movement against me personally had been effectively organized and would be resistless."
 MT. Hyde further says in his letter
 that the movement was conceived anc | guided by Alexander, secretly so fal
 as he and his associates in the direc- 1 torate were concerned, and that th'
 signatures to charges had been secured
 from officials and heads of depart
 ments with whom he had not been il
 contact.

The Overwhelming Election
 of Dunne the Democrat
OVER PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
The Republicans Fell Down at Many and Unexpected POints-An Over. turning of Things Since the Na- tional Election Last Fall.

Chicago April 4.-Judg Edward F. of Chicago over John M. Harlan, re- publican, by a majority ranging from 10000 to 25,000. Franchises estimated to be worth more than $2O0,OOO, 900 were involved in the contest. The democratic platform pledged the inn mediate taking over of the street rail- ways of the city while the republicans looked to that ultimate end by means of an arrangement to be made with the traction companies.
 It was evident early in the day that Harlan would be defeated. The re- publican vote was slow and there was on every side a general lack of enthu- siasm. On the other hand there was from the opening of the polls a great manifestation of democratic enthusi- asm.
 It was a raw clustering day, gloomy and cold for the most part. Appeals to the fear of domination by corporate wealth appeared to sway many voters and perhaps more than any other in- nuence was incorrectly gauged by the republicans. Harlan was savagely har- rassed during the campaign as the re puted representative of Wall street in terests intent upon fastening burden some franchise grants upon the city Estimates of 5O,OOO votes for Collins socialist, fell woefully short. An un mistakable Reflection suddenly mani fested today in the districts where Afro-Americans are numerous. gave severe jolt to the republican cam paign managers.
 l One of the amusing features tha tonight is recalled as tending to ere ate a good natured feeling in Dunne'!
 behalf is his record as a father. H is the happy parent of thirteen chil dren.
 The plurality of Dunne is estimates at 22,OOO to 5000 over Harlan. liar rison was elected the last time by owe | 1000, while the republican nationa
 ticket last fall carried the city by 110,

VICTOR AND VANoUIsHED.

Chicago, April 4.-The political tor nado today overwhelmed one of the most ruggedly unique leaders in the country and incidentally the repubh- can party met defeat in a memorable effort to capture the mayoralty of Chcago. As a drect result the city is officially committed to the policy of the quickest possible cessation of pri- vate franchises for public utilities. Municipal ownership is especially threatening street car lines valued high up in the millions.
 After winning successfully five re- markable biennial fights of the inde- pendents against the regular republi- can party organization here John Maynard Harlan, son of Associate Jus tice Harlan of the United States su- preme court, was the loser as the re- publican candidate for mayor. His defeat is attributed to an extraordi- nary whirI of causes, starting with po- litical revenge and taking a wide sweep, embracing the most up-to-date socialism as a factor. The victor is Judge Edward F. Dunne, democrat. Seldom, if ever, has Chicago witnessed more lively and picturesque contest. Tonight the city was hideous with the ringing of COW bells and the roar of cannon crackers.
 The republican candidate suffered heavily from campaign attacks charg- ing that he was a political assassin. Alleged unworthy leaders of his own party who had been thrust from of flee and power largely through liar | lan's aggressiveness in previous cam paigns. were conspicuously absent from his support.
 If,,o 11f ,f Tr,a candidates were entirely forgotten in today's election" said Judge Dunne ! tonight. Municipal ownership was the one great issue before the people of Chicago today, and the returns very plainly show how the majority feel to- ward the private ownership of public utilities. It is the greatest victory for municipal ownership ever won in this country.
 'Every pledge that made during the campaign will be kept. Chicago wants municipal ownership and during my tenure of office it will be my aim to bring about such a condition as rap ! idly as possible. I will appoint a X corps of engineers to make a survey ! of all the street railways in the city : so that we will know just how the \ city, when it secures control of the | mes, VIII De able 10 handle the prop + osition. I believe before many months
 we will see the city of Chicago own Ii ing and operating at least one stree
 railway line. The traction question depends in a great measure on the ac-
 tion of the courts but in cases where
 legal proceedings are pending I vii
 endeavor to bring about an immediate
 settlement. It will be years before th'
 city will come into possession of al
 the street railway franchises in Chi
 cago, but we will gradually assum control of the different lines and I be lieve the day will come when the peo pie will control the entire railway sys tenn of the city"

 The decline in the stock market seemed to be in part due to the un- settling influence of cratic fiuctua- tiOns in Tennessee coal Prices of that stock were up and down all day and operators in the market were at loss to determine whether the terms of the proposed merger or the distress of an uncovered short interest was respon- sible for the wavering motion of the stock. The passage through one house of the New York legislature of a stock transfer tax bill and the belief that its enactment into law was certain had the same influence in the uncertain mood of speculation.
