COUNSEL'S STATEMENT
CONCERNING THE SYNDICATE
TRANSACTIONS.
NEW YORK. April 10. 100:

NEW YORK. April 10, 1905
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for Mr.. Hyde.
made a statement today concerning the
James H. Hyde and associates" syndicate
transactions Mr.. Untermyer said, in part:
''These transac lotions tell their own story
of the equal interest and participation OF
Mr.. Alexander. The transactions were en-
tirely legitimate and there is no just
ground for criticising Mr.. Alexander or
anybody else for being interested In them.
There We're other like operations of this
same syndicate, such as the international
marine, in which the syndicate members
lost their money and in which the society
took no participation"
After calling attention to the dates Of the
checks sent Mr.. Alexander by Mr.. Hyde
from July, 1902. up to this year. MIR. Inter
meyer said:
No Moneys Returned.
Mr.. Alexander does not claim to have
returned any of the moneys received from
these transactions except as to those re-
ceived in January, 1905, although they were
all of the same general character and were
paid to him by checks signed James H.
Hyde (syndicate ACCOUNT.
Even the check of January H. 1905. for
SOS, 266S1 was deposited by Mr. Alexander
Bank of Commerce. No notice has ever
been given to anybody that this check or
It's proceeds were ever turned over to the
Equitable Society or that Mr.. Alexander
had any doubt of his right to keep the
money which he had taken and put into
his own account.
About the Checks.
LAS to the previous checks. he does not
apparently claim to have done so. AS to
fhn OCT To- %
523.73, the proceeds of which are now said
to have been handed over by Mr.. Alexan-
der to the cashier or the trustee account
Of the society. 1t would be interesting to
know when that was done.
IF the assertion of Mr.. Alexander that
he did not during all these years that he
has been president know the sources from
which his private bank account was being
replenished by these large checks. is to be
taken seriously, his absence of curiosity on
the subject is at least remarkable. 1t would
be interesting to know whether in the in
stance in which Mr.. Alexander lost money
in the syndicate he ascertained on what
particular transactions the losses were
made before paying them"
Fortunate for Hyde.
ut is fortunate for Mr.. Hyde that this
huge conspiracy against his reputation and
his property is to be dragged into the
searchlight of publicity.
1T started by masquerading in the sham
form of 'mutualiza tion,' but its real pur-
pose Is at last apparent and its hldeous-
ness may be seen of all men. stripped of all
cant-it is nothing more than a sordd at
tempt to destroy the property of the young
men whose interests have been cOnfided to
his trustees.
But these gentlemen have reckoned
without their host Mr.. Hyde has done no
wrong. Nobody can point out single
transaction that is subject to just criticism.
And so he proposes to stand his ground
like a man in the defense of the honored
name bequeathed to him by his father"

HEADLIGHTS OF MOTOR CARS.
Journal Complains That illumination
is Overdone

Is not the binding glare Of the now
huge searchlights with which the
heavy touring cars are equipped far
more dangerous than the absence Of
light? asks the Motor World. True
enough, speed requires that the road
be seen for quite length ahead in
order to insure safety, but night
speeding over unknown, or over we'll
known roads for that matter, is not
particularly safe practice under any
circumstances.
What is it to become when every.
thing on the road moving in the oppo.
| site direction is to be rendered help
less by the sudden flashing of an over.
towering glare in the eyes and left to
founder, blind and bewildered, in mid
road during the moments of the cars
approach? By actual count many OF
the powerful cars now carry no less
than six lamps, two oil headlights, .
| tail light ditto, pair of acetylene
| headlights of no mean illuminative
power, and, to top off all, a hand-con-
trolled searchlight that would do credit
to torpedo-boat.

BOUGHT a whistler" Cheap.

A London newspaper says in regard
to buying a Whistler for the nation.
which will cost a pretty stiff price,
there is one Whistler at any rate
which cost the owner a mere trifie.
This is the portrait of Sir Henry Irv-
ing as Philip ii. The sitter asked one
day, "How much would you want for
this, Whistler" and the artist an
swered, 400 guineas." And the sitter
said no more. But two or three
months later he strolled into pic
ture dealers and saw protruding from
a heap of things on the floor pair OF
legs that seemed familiar. He made
the reluctant dealer dig them out,
and. sure enough, they were the legs
that belonged to him and to Philip
II. And he bought them for EGO!
But this was nearly thirty years ago"

Do you glide. star-like, to that garden

Walk you there, when the moon Is In

In paths where lilies deck the dewy

Grown green with May and showered

Hark sings a bird. darlkling in blossomed

Near by the old wall. meath nights

Pass where we kissed, a sweet ghost

taut and to compensate for any varia-

also remove the lateral pressure of
the towers, producing instead down

The system does not require any
elevated approaches to the bridge
entrances. The transporter cars are
suspended from swivel trucks. which
travel on the cables. In practice a
car is raised by means OF the elevator
to the top Of tower, the trucks being
turned so as to clear the cables.
When the top of the tower is reached
the trucks are turned back to normal

elevator they will rest on the cables
