EQUITABLE SCANDAL
MAN LONG DEAD ON PAYROLL
FOR S25, 900 SALARY.
Others Not Now Employed Still Draw
Yearly Pay Of $40, 900, $500
and SO, 5oo..

Revealed by the report of Francis Hend-
ricks, state superintendent of insurance, 1t
became known in New York yesterday that
on the pay roll Of the Equitable Life AS
surance Society at a salary of $4,000 a
year is still carried the name of man WI o
has been dead for thirteen months.
In the same list are three other names
of men who for long time have been out
of the employ of the society. One of these
draws a yearly salary of $4,000, another
$4,000 and the third $500. No clear ex-
PLANTATION was offered concerning this con-
dition, but in the case of the man long
since dead it was said that possibly tie
$4,000 a year was being paid in the form
of a pension to his widow.
Affidavits were discovered on file In the
tax office which swore off the assessments
on the ss0000.090 surplus the ground
that II was an accumulation held for the
exclusive benefit of the poicyholders. This
was considered of interest in view of the
opposing assertions that this surplus, or
great portion of it, goes with the stock.
Thou shalt not STEAL was the keynote
of the opinion of Governor Higgins, that
any person guilty of wrongdoing must be
punished. The governor sent letter to
Mr. Jerome, who declared his intention of
at once moving in the case and going as
far as the evidence will permit. ATTORNEY
General Mayer took a similar view, leav-
ing the initiative to the district attorney.
August Belmont resigned from the direc-
torate. Messrs. Alexander and Hyde and
Paul Morton declined to discuss the Hend-
rlcks bombshell, while Wall street decided
that there is a great need for changes in
the society's affairs.
In other states vast interest was taken
in the report of Mr. Hendricks, who was
praised for his courage in daring to set
forth the facts precisely as discovered
them on the evidence presented.

Mr. Benjamin F. Gallant, one OF, the road
commissioners from Prince George county,
persists to decline to affix his signature to
a contract for the improvement of the MARI
boro turnpike. 1t develops that but one
bid was received IN response to an adver-
tisement; that while the understanding was
that three roadside Marlboro turnpike,
the Livingston road and the Baltimore and
Washington turnpfke-were to be improved
under the Shoemaker act. the bid received
was for the Improvement of Marlboro
turnpike only; that this bid was not for a
lump sum, but was for grading and exca-
waiting, matchmaking and masonry work,
and that, under this contract, the entire
amount available for all three roads,
$Zl,OUU, may De expended on the
road to the exclusion Of the other high
ways. 1t is also stated that but one set
of specifications We're sent to the commits
sioner's office, and that there were not ac-
cessible to at least one party who went to
Marlboro for the purpose of bidding on the
work.
Commissioner Gallant says he will refuse
to sign the contract until it is modified. SO

pended and the area to be covered. He

Special Correspondence of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Nd. June 49, 1905.
Judge George c. Merrick recently signed
papers incorporating the Southern Mary
land Agricultural Fair Association of
Prince George county, with these fncor-
porators: Ex-Representative Charles E.
Coffin of Muirkirk, Horace Crosier of Oxon
Hill, Richard S. Hill of Marlboro, William
r. Smith of Mitchellsville, William Binger
of Melwood. Charles P. Stohlman Of Wash
ington, Frederick Dallam of Laurel, VIII
liam Booth Bowie of Queen Anne, George
s. Dove of Forestville, William G. Brooke,
A. T. Brooke and F. Snowden Hill of Upper
Marlboro. These gentlemen met a few days
since and organized by the election of the
following officers: DR.. Richard s. Hill,
president; Horace Crosier, vice president;
A. T. Brooke, treasurer, and William G.
Brooke. secretary.
1t was unanimously agreed that the falr
this year should be held at Upper MARI
boro August 49, 16 and IT, and $1,000 was
appropriated for racing purposes. The sew
eral committees were named, and 1t was
ordered that the catalogue containing the
premiums for the various exhibits of live
stock, farming and household products be
issued. 1t was agreed that no wheel of for
tune or other similar species of gambling
should be permitted on the fair grounds,
although, of course, there will be pools
sold on the trottng and running races, the
law permitting this sort of speculation on
fair grounds.
The new association has made satisfac-
tory arrangements for the purchase of the
fair grounds and appurtenances from the
recent purchasers OF this property under a
mortgage. Several months since about
seventy-eight shares of the old association
were sold to certain men in Washington
who contemplated running poolroom nh-
der the amended charter of the Southern
Maryland Fair Association. When the dis
covery was made that this charter did not
allow the sale of pools on foreign races the
idea was abandoned and the poolrOom peo-
pie II Is said. lost about 5000.

That Germany has any designs upon
coaling base in Caribbean waters, a re-
port as to which has been heretofore dis

month at a cottage which he has leased
at Deer Park, but is in constant touch
with the embassy at Washington. whence

q CITIES WANT
POSTAL SWINDLER
Prisoner in Chicago Said to Have
Worked Money Order Fraud
Manywhere.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-Charged with swim
ding merchants in twenty-one cities out
Of thousand Of dollars, Norman E. Rob-
erts, alleged money order raiser and
forger, was arrested last night at a sub
postal station.
Roberts said he was salesman until
few months ago. He is q years old
and comes from New York, but has a
wife living in Baltimore.
Roberts method has not differed from
that Of several other swindlers, includ-
ing one woman, who have been sent to
the penitentiary from Chicago within
the last three years.
The forger buys money order at a
substitution, usually for Is cents, and
payable to some other person. Then all
the writing is erased with chemicals,
and the blanks are filed out for any
amount under 800. In Chicago the
signature of H. M. Coyne was forged.
The raised order then is offered by
the swindler to some business house in
exchange for small purchase, and the
remainder, which the forger receives
represents the amount Of his dishonest
gain.
Roberts itinerary included New
York, Boston, Providence, r. l., Paw
tucket, R: l., Woonsocket, R. l., New
London, Conn.,, Baltimore, Philadelphia
Harrisburg, Pa, York, Pa, Norfolk anC

"sThe troubles with the battery /
have been trying for two years to rem,
edy have been purely mechanical, =
said Mr.. Edison. "They have been
due chiefly to the swelling Of the nick
ell element. I have succeeded in redu.
cling the weight Of the battery to about
forty pounds per horsepower. With q
proper motor and wagon equipment we
can take the cells and operate an or.
binary delivery wagon at So per cent
of the cost Of maintaining horse. ("
The inventor said he has worked with
the particular object of applying the
power to auto trucks for commercial
purposes, and that he can drive two
ton truck at the rate Of thirty three
miles an hour.

THERE'LL BE NO STRIKE,
DECLARE OPERATORS
New York Sun Special Service.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. Aug. PRESIDENT
w. L. Cornell and s. D. Warmer, coal
operators. who have served upon the
Cancellation board Of the anthracite re-
gion since it's inception, say they do
not believe there will be any strike of
agreement expires and intimate that the
operators are unwilling to renew it.
Mr.. Warmer, after careful review of
the situation, said today:
All this talk of the companies pre-
pairing for strike by the storage of
coal, etc., is nonsense. It is good STRAIT
egy on the part of the mine workers Of
ficials to talk Of the possible necessity
for a strike in April, and formulate de-
mands, for by this means they can in
duce their members to pay up their dues
and get back into the organization. but
aside from this, I think they will have
no effect.'
