Be Made Saturday.
Statements as 10 Pros and Cons Issued
by Both Parties.

Boston, Nov. 14.-After a private
hearing, today. Judge Wentworth of
the municipal court announced that he
would issue warrant for the arrest
of Thomas w. Lawson OH a charge of
criminal libel. The complainant in the
case is Clarence w. Barron, manager
of the Boston News Bureau.
The matter at issue has been pend
ing before the court for q long time
but has been postponed from week to
week until the final hearing was held,
today. Besides the complainant and
the court the only persons present
were Sherman l.. Whipple, counsel for
Mr.. Barron, Homer Albers and Henry
f. Hurlburt and the stenographers
The alleged libel is based upon a
magazine article which appeared in
October under the name of Mr.. Law
son and in various typewriter tissue
sheets containing comments upon the
stock market and also his alleged
libellous acts on Mr.. Barron and the
Boston News Bureau. These sheets, it
was contended, were given circulation
i'll the Boston brokerage district
According to Sherman L. Whiple,
counsel for Mr.. Barron. Judge Went
worth intimated to counsel, today, that
he would grant warrant for the ar
rest of Mr.. Lawson on a charge of
criminal libel. although a preliminary
hearing would be held before final ac-
ton was taken. The court followed
its announcement of intention of
granting a warrant by ordering the
clerk of the court to issue the war

siderable length, was copied and Mr..
Barron must affix his signature before
the warrant will finally issue for Mr..
Lawsons arrest.
Counsel arranged that the warrant
would officially issue. Saturday, wnen
Mr.. Lawson would appear in the mum
cipal court and submit to arrest and
the subsequent court proceedings. Bail
has been fixed at $4,000. this being the
bonds under which Mr.. Lawson may
obtain his liberty, after arrest.
Complainant Barron issued state
ment later in which he said that the
warrant in the case is based upon a
ma gazine article which appeared in
February and by threats in another
series Of articles as well as upon It's
sues and circulars issued by Mr.. Law
son attacking the Boston News Bureau
Mr.. Lawson followed with a state
ment in which he declared that the
long delay in granting a warrant for
his arrest was caused by his applica-
ton for a warrant for Barron's arrest
for criminal libel. Mr.. Lawson also
pointed out that Mr.. Barrons allega-
ton of criminal libel follows suit
which was brought against him by the
News Bureau in September. 1900. This
suit sought damages of 100000 and
was based upon alleged libel.

Mr. Hyde said that he first received
salary of 100000, seven years ago. In
1902, when he became chairman of the
finance committee, his salary was ad-
vanced to $4,000 and in 1903 it was ad-
Vanced to 100000. at which it remained
| until he resigned as vice president OF
the society.
Mr.. Hyde presented a statement
showing that in the seven years of his
connection with the Equitable Life and
the allied corporations, his average in
come had been but 4 little more than
$4,000 year. This was figured as sew
en- years salary from the Equitable
| amounting to s435.000. from which he
deducted his losses in syndicate trans
actions. amounting to $28, SIS. and the
S21z.5o0 raid on the $685.. 900 loan which
left Il balance of $193, 1884, or an average
annual income of $27,6g7. to which'w was
added the average income from his Of
fees in the trust companies of $10,5O0.
Witness said he presented this state
ment to show that he had been misrep-

Sensational testimony was given by
MIR. Hyde concerning Former Governor
Odell and Mr.. Hartman relative to the
settlement of Mr.. Odell's suit against
the Mercantile Trust Co. involving ship
building companies bonds held by him.
Mr.. Hyde said that Mr.. Hartman
came to him and advised the settle
ment of Odell's suit, as he feared that
otherwise powerful influences at AL
bany would be invoked in retaliatory
measures. Mr.. Hartman suggested that
the revocation of the charter OF the
Mercantile Trust Co. might be one of
the measures. Mr.. Hyde knew of no ac-
tual steps that were taken. nor Of any
bill that was introduced. but he was
beset with rumors on the subject. The
Equitable Life, he said. was not inter-
ested beyond the connection it had with
the Mercantile Trust Co. Mr.. Hyde
said the suit was settled by paying Mr..
Odel about $4,000. b
Charges of conspiracy to get him out

several organizations. They told him
that railroad rate legislation logically
meant the lowering of rates. This
they contcnded will be followed by

roads and consequently by reduction
eventually of the wages of railroad
employees.
