in the Equitable.
IBy the Associated Press. )

New York, April 5.-The course
which the Hyde forces will pursue in
tomorrow's special meeting of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society's di>
rectors was forecasted tonight in a
statement given out by one of Mr..
Hyde's friends While the statement
bears on signature, it originates in the
same source from which others giving
Mr. Hyde's attitude have come and is
regarded as authentic.
The statement asserts that Mr.. Alex
ander will be called upon to explain to
the directors why he sent a letter re-
questing the commissioner of insur-
anee to make an examination of the
society without having informed the
executive committee and that he viii
also be called upon to explain 'his con-
duct in assailing the personal integrity
of his associate, James HaZen Hyde,
the vice-president, Jacob Fl. Schitf
and t.. H Hartman, directors of the
society. and causing the publication
of matter derogatory to Them"
Continuing the statement said:
Both Mr.. Alexander and Mr.. Tar
bell will be called upon to explain the
sale of the renewal account for the
sum of S135, 600 on the day that the
memorable petition, asking for the re-
moval of Mr.. Hyde was presented to
the directors.
'Mr. Alexander will be charged with
having retained Frank H. Platt to or
ganize what is SO commonly known
as the Crimmins policy holders pro-
tective committee, for the express pur-
pose of assailing the board of di-
rectors and maligning James Hazen
Hyde, the vice-president, and also inn
pairing public confidence in the man
agement of the society.
MIR. Alexander will also be charged
with having instigated the suit known
as the Brackett-M Mary Young suit. and
the action taken by Senator Bracket
in the office of the attorney general,
and also in the Legislature-acts
which are detrimental to the good
name of the society,""

the Dan River Kennel Company had
advertised highly pedigreed dogs all
over the country, and received orders
through the mails for many dogs, cost
ing from $50 to $50 each. That IN
almost every instance the dog was
returned, but no money was refunded.
AS soon as Jordan got the dog back,
he would fill another order with him.
The big dog in the case, which the
inspector had kept for exhibition to
the jury, should the case come to trial,
had been reshipped seven times, to
parties in Nebraska, New York, Penn
sylvania and South Carolina. This
dog, he said, was advertised with the
following pedigree: "RushaWay Rap
out of Reuse of Heathecote, clost rela-
ton to Lad of Rush, lingo, Rip Rap
and King of Kent" He said the dog
was a stray from about the freight
yards in Winston.
Judge Adams, in pleading for the
young man, said he had had but little
chance in life; that he had the sup
port of a mother and sister on his
hands, his father and brother having
been shot down in their own home in
Kernersville when he was a little boy
by revenue officers, and killed. That
he really dealt in high pedigreed dogs,
but as numerous orders came in for
them and the real dogs gave out, the
young fellow could not resist the temp
tation to fill an order with any sort
of dag that came handy.
A petition by the Nick Williams
Distilling Company to Judge Boyd to
restrain and enjoin Collector Harkins
from closing the distillery on account
of the failure of the company to re-
new their bond, because of a lien
having been filed by Minor & Sons for
material, was argued by Bynum, Set
tie, Bradshaw and Adams for the
company, and by District Attorney
Holton for the collector. Judge Boyd
took the case under advisement.

STRAWBERRY PEST
Prospects Are That Crop
Will Not Be Better
Than Last Years.

State Entomologist Franklin Sher-
man, Jr., returned to the city yester-
day from eastern North Carolina and
reported that the strawberries are be-
ing badly damaged by the strawberry
weevil. This weevil has become a SER
ious menace to the strawberry industry
in the State and the efforts of the De-
partment of Agriculture are being di-
rected against it's further spread, and
methods are being devised to effect its
determination.
For several years past the State has
gathered a crop of only three-fourths
to the acre of what it did formerly,
and the prospects are that the crop
win be no better than it was last year.
A conservative estimate placed the
damage inflicted by the strawberry
weevil in the spring of 1904 at 500, 900
for North Carolina. Reports from
growers in the strawberry section from
Mount Olive to Wilmington and Chad
bourn placed the loss at from 10 per
cent to SO per cent. of the entire crop.
Some have in other years reported an
entire loss from certain varieties.
The strawberry Weevil has been
known as pest in the eastern region
of the State for four or five years, and
seems to be rapidly gaining i'm num-
bers and destructiveness. The adult
weevil is about as large as the head OF
a pin, but more elongated. 1t is of the
chestnut brown color. From the head
projects a snout of a little more than
one-half the length of the body.
Observations show the pest to be in
this State in the principal strawberry
section from Mount Olive southwark
to Wilmington, and thence westward
to Chadbourn

Lahore. India, April 5.-The hin
station of Dharmsala was practically
RACED to the ground by the earth
quakes. The native quarter was en-
tirely obliterated, many of the inhabi-
tants were buried in the ruins. most
of the houses in the European quarter
were wrecked and nine persons We're
Killed. The people are sleeping in the

IGNORANCE OF THE CANAL.
Chief Engineer Wallace COrrects Some
Wrong Impressions.
(By the Associated Pres. }

New York, April 5.-Chief Engineer
John F. Wallace of the Panama Ca
nal Commission, first learned of his APP
pointment on the new commission
upon his arrival here today on the
steamer Finance from Colon.
Speaking of the difficulties of build
ing the canal, Mr.. Wallace said:
'It is surprising what wrong inn
presions prevail in this country about
the canal. The control of the Chagres
River for instance has been much mis-
understood. The cost of this work with
be only five per cent. of the total cost
of building the canal. The difference
in tide between the Pacific and Carib-
bean can be controlled by tide locks,
although this is not necessary with a
sea level canal. The tide in the Pa
cific rises ten feet higher and falls ten
feet lower than it does in the Carib-
bean. The canal, however, will be for
ty-seven miles long and will take up
this difference. We do not place locks
at Sandy Hook to control tide in the
Hudson and that river is always naYi-
gable. So WILL the canal be navigable
at all times"

upon the suggestion of Emperor Will
liam that President Roosevelt, in Feb
ruary, 1904, undertook to arrange
concerted action on the part of. the
neutral powers for the purpose of in
ducing the belligerents in the Far
Eastern war to respect the neutrality
of China was for the first time officially
disclosed in the advance sheets of
foreign relations made public at the
State Department today.
In the correspondence with Ger
many is included the paraphrase of a
cablegram addressed by Secretary Hay
to Mr.. Tower, the American ambassa-
dor at Berlin, after Germany's accept
ance of the invitation of Secretary Hay
had been received directing the am
bassador ITO convey to the Emperor
the Presidents profound appreciation
of his generous initiative and power
full cooperation in the matter of Chi
nese neutrality"
1t is now possible to state that the
reason Germany's initiative was kept a

Emperor's belief that the suggestion
about Chinese neutrality would re the
more certain of success if emanating
from Washington.
