WILL BE NO LOSS TO LIFE SOCIETY
That New York Senator Has Resign ed as Director Is Contradicted by Morton-Commiss Have
 Confidence In Schiff.


 NEW YORK, July 14.-The follow ing cablegram from Chauncey NJ. De- pew, who is now in Paris. has been re- ceived here. It is in regard to charges made against him as a director of the Equita ble:
 The Depew Improvement company the Equitable Life Assurance society. The Equitable asked for no guarantee, verbal or otherwise, in connection with the loan of S250,0OO made to the con- pany. The transaction occurred sev- eral years ago, before the company got into trouble.
 Interest on the loan was regularly paid. The application for the loan, so far as 1 know. was made to the Equi- tabA society by the officers of the inn provement company. The Equitable appraisers and officers charged with looking after loans and real estate ap- praised the estate at the usual valua- tion above the amount loaned. as pre- scribed by the rules of the company.
 ''The property was recently valued at s200.000 at the lowest above liabili- ties. and others valued it at S1,5OO,O0O above all liabilities.
 By any proper administration of the property there can be no loss to the Equitable or any other creditors. There are between 100 and 200 stock holders in the improvement company, as am informed
 Chairman Paul Morton of the Equi- table denied the published report that Senator Depew had resigned from the board of directors.
 Grover Cleveland. George Nesting house and Justice Morgan J. O'Brien, trustees of the majority stock of the Equitable Life Assurance society. have written to Jacob H. Schiff expressing their confidence in him. Mfr. Schiff re- tired from the Equitable directorate at the time the board rejected the report of the Prick Investigating committee.
