THE INSURANCE PROBE.

James Hazen Hyde, testifying be-
fore the New York insurance legisla-
tive committee, declared that the Mer-
camille Trust company, an offshoot of
the Equitable Life, paid $4,000 to
former Gov. Odell in order to prevent
an attack from Albany, as result OF
the shipbuilding trust scandal. He ex-
planned the $685,000 yellow dog" fund
and charged Hartman and Frick with
conspiring to get him to go abroad.
q. II. Hartman denied on the wit
ness stand before the insurance inves-
tigating committee that he ever adj
vised James H. Hyde to settle with
former Gov. Odell, who was suing the
Mercantile Trust company. Mr.. Hyde
reaffirmed his statement. Former Gov.
Odell asked the privilege of being
heard.
Former Gov. Odell gave Hyde the lie
before the Armstrong committee. He
denied that he sandbagged the Equi-
table into paying the $4,000 shipbuild-
ing claim.
Senator Chauncey M Deepw, who
was on the stand as a witness in the
insurance investigation in New York,
expressed the hope that state legisla-
lures would enact laws forbidding con-
tribut1ons in aid of political parties.
He denied lobbying 1T Albany and dis
claimed knowledge of the use of rail-
road passes to influence legislation.
Richard A. McCurdy, president of
the Mutual Life insurance company,
startled the trustees by announcing
that he had cut his $15O,O00 salary to
$4,000.

familiar to most sufferers from stomach
trouble. Too often the ordinary doctors
treatment serves but to weaken the dis
