Der of the board of directors of the Equit-

Emphatic Denial by odell.
New York, Nov. 17.-Former Gov.
Benjamin B. Odell, Jr., and United
States Senator Chauncey M. Depew as
witnesses before the Armstrong legis-
lative insurance investigation commit.
tee Thursday, denied parts of the testi-
mony of James Hazen Hyde in which
their names were used. Mr.. Odell in
the course of his testimony called Mr..
Hyde's statements base calumny,"
and when he was asked whether he
directly or Indirectly had made threats
to nave the charter Of the Mercantile
Trust company revoked, his face
flushed and, striking the arm of the
witness chair with his fist, he ex-
claimed. "There is no truth in that
statement, so help me Cod" Mr..
Odell said he had never solicited po-
litical contributions, but possibly
some moneys might have come to him
through the national committee, or
Senator Thomas c. Plat, as the latter
had always gathered together the
funds in New York state except in the
last year.
Depew Takes Stand.
Senator Chauncey M. Depew was
called later. He never heard of the
various trustee accounts until this in
vestigation. He knew of the campaign
contributions only in a general way.
He did not know the amount contrib
uted to the national campaign in 1904.
He hoped both state and national
legislatures would pass laws prohibiting
these contributions. He detailed the
various syndicates he had been in dur
ing four years, and said these had net
ted him the sum of 1929. In these
syndicates he had 100000 tied up most
of the time, and 100000 is still tied
up.

New York, Nov. 15.-James H. Hyde,

came into the market, and to make

the only political contribution of which
he knew was that of $4,000 to Cor
nelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the repuD'
lican national committee, in the last
presidential campaign. This contri-
button was solicited by H. G. Frick,
said Mr.. Hyde. Last summer when
the banking department called for the
repayment of the $6s5,000 and the
Equitable Life repudiated it, Mr.. Hyde
said Mr.. Alexander and Mr.. Jordan
raised as much as they could and then
he, Hyde, made up the balance, $2l2,-
900. He said he thought he was gen.
erous in this, as he had not received
any benefit from the loan.
The syndicate operations OF J. H.

that in % syndicates Mr.. Hyde sus-

the spider. This is fixed over that
part of the body between the abdomen
and the head. The legs are arranged
on the thorax, the abdomen thus
emerging on the side whence the silk is
to be drawn. They must be arranged
with great care so as not to injure
them, and they yield a generous
amount of exquisitely fine hlament.
About 10, 500 yards of silk can be TAX
en- from one single insect in a month
in four or five windings, After this
they die, possibly from overwork, there
being no limit to the laborer's output
in that far island.
The native girls have a very delicate
hand and actually succeed in drawing
the filaments from all the spiders in
the box at the same time. This is
done by lightly touching each insect
in turn and then withdrawing the
hand, the thread being then led to a
mechanical twister. which In turn
sends it to rude wheel The spiders
yield their silk very freely and with
cut resistance. and, being naturally
somewhat run down in health, after
this operation, are sent TO Spider Park
Sanitarfum," where among bamboo
plants specially arranged to form shell
tering bowers they gradually recover.
At the end of a few days of GONZALES
cence those who have not formed part
of the menu of their companions return
to business and to yield more silk.
BRILLIANT THREADS.
The thread thus obtained from the
halabe is of a marvellous color and
quality. No gold was ever more bril-
liant, no yellow ever so pure. Its ex-
treme fineness and elasticity, far ex-
ceiling that of ordinary silk. allows 1t
to be woven into tissues of extraor-
binary suppleness, yet solid enough to
stand the wear Of ages. Visitors to the
colonial section of the last Paris ex-
hibition will remember in the Madag gas
car show some bed hangings made Of
this wonderful silk. which delighted
and astonished all beholders. Several
of the spiders were also to be seen at
work.
The only difficulty is the smalIness
of the output, and that is the result
of the Ill training Of the spiders. They
have not yet really learned that this
is an age when all must labor for the
universal benefit. AS far back as 171O

On first reading this might be taken
to mean that an overseer was needed
for certain recalcitrant natives, or per-
haps an expert to run some queer piece

proves that the spiders to be tanned

that nothing less than a fortune is in

disciplining them.
The French Governments silk spin

with so much promise few years ago,

vagaries of the spiders from whom the

worst of tempers and possessed of de-

feated all efforts to bring them into

that is why a spider trainer is SO

as much from the domesticated insect
as chalk from cheese, and requires a

In the first place the spider of Mad

he prefers suicide, to furnish in his
own form a cold collation. for his wife
sooner or later.
This unlovable spirit and hungry
spider so difficult to rear, though great
efforts are being made to bring 1t to a
better feeling; for could it only be
tanned to gentler ways and it's canni-
balism checked, there is little doubt
that the Madagascar spiders would be
far more valuable than silkworms
They are supposed to live on mangos

vide a happy home with luscious food,
where they might live happily and In
crease at ease. But the fighting in
stincts and depraved taste of these in
sects for eating one another keeps
their numbers small, and this is at the
bottom of the difficulty Of the French
Colonial Ministry.
With every desire to foster the silk
spinning industry, the Government, at
the suggestion of General Gallieni, has
founded professional schools for the
propagation and cultivation of these
spiders. and many natives are engaged
in the industry.
