As to Equitab|e's Claim
AgainstHim of$|oo,ooo.
Says the Society Lent Money
to Enable Its Agents
To Purchase Stock and He Will Pay Cash
When He Gets His Stock.

New York, Dec. 1i.-During the insur-
ance investigation today, Edward w.
Scott, president of the ProVident Saw
inSs Life Assurance Society, made an
earnest appeal to Chairman w. w.
Armstrong of the investigating COM
| mittee to exclude from the hearing GER
tain statements bearing on his former
relations with the Equitable Life AS
Surance Society of which he was at one
time Australian agent. Charles L.
Hughes, counsel for the committee had
asked Mr.. Scott whether the Euuita BILE
Society had not 4 claim of 800, 900
against him. Mr.. Scott at first declared
that there was no such claim and when
Fir. Hughes produced letters which
passed between Mr.. Scott and Presi-
dent James w. Alexander on that sub
ject in 1897, in which President AleAan-
der asked Mr.. Scott to make q formal
admission in writing that his accounts
with the society showing balances of
$1I.933 due the society We're accurate.
In one letter President Alexander wrote
that Mr.. Scott had accepted the ac-
counts. Mr.. SCOTS letter to President
Alexander proposed Il conference. but
made no admissions as to the accept
ance Of the accounts.
When these letters had been read
President Scott made an earnest plea
to the committee to rule that this sub
Ject is foreign to the investigation. He
declared that he had been pursued by
enemies for several years; that in 1900
he caused the arrest and Indictment of
a man who had engaged with the iIqui
table Life Assurance Society to deliver
to it records stolen from the PrOVident
Savings Life Assurance Society; that a
traitor Gus bCokkeepcr who was in
league With this man was dismissed
from the Provident Society's employ;
and that it was in connection with
these matters that his (Mr. Scotts) re-
lations with the Equitable We're report
cd to the committee and in spirit of
revenge.
Though Mr.. Hughes did not uncover
just what the Equitable Socicty's claim
against Mr.. Scott was based on, he
brought out FROM him the statement
that the Equitable Society had made
such claim upon him and that Mr..
Scott refused to settle it.
Another incident in the testimony of
MI. scott WAS HIS statement tlldt Witch
he bought control of the PrOvdent Saw
ings Life Assurance Socety's stock he
used So 600 which had been lent by
that company to two of its agents in
order to enable them to buy 100 shares
of it's stock. They did not buy the stock
and Mir. Scott said he took over the loan
and delivered to the society a promise
to turn over to it 100 shares of its stock
when he gets the stock. 1t is now held
by a trust committee to whom he still
owes $4,000 which he borrowed to
buy it.
New York, Dec. 1.-THE hearing on the
demurrer to the suit of J. Wilcox Brown
of Baltimore against the Equitable Life
Assurance Society began today before
Judge Hazel in the United States district
court Judge IaZcn reserved decision.
