in nearly all Of tho institutions whose Sc
curities are owned by the Equitable Life
Assurance Society mentioned above, &C
cording TO the report Of the society 70 the
Insurance Department on Jan. l..
In view Of the fact that Mr.. Hyde has
returned SOL, 1882, il was suggested yes
terday that Gov. Higgins, Attorney-GenerHl
Mayer and Superin tendent Hendricks should
hnd il In the line Of their duty TO ask the
Questions; Who organized these companies'
How we're they organized1 Who got the pref
lts from the organizations, II profits there
were? And who figured up the claimed
value amounting to t42 ole, 1855 on tie par
value investment Of Si0,ll4SOO, as disclosed
in the report Of the Hartman Hyde san
hedrim OF Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety directors TO the Insurance Depart
ment?
Another subject for inquiry on the part
Of Gov. Higgins, Attomey-General Mayer
and Supt Hendricks, II was added should
he. In whose name were various Lease mace
and to whom l. the annual rental paid for
the premises occupied by some OF the aux
Hilary companies Of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society?
Gov Higgin-. Attomey-General Mayer
and SUIT Hendricks might also lhVeHu-
gate statement TO the eject that obliRa-
tons OF agents Of the Eduitahle Life Assur-
anca Society amour ling 20 more than $1,000
O0O were deposited in the Commercial Trust
Company Of Philadelphia and describcd
on the books OF the Equitable and in it,
reports 10 the Insurance Department as
cash deposits, whereas, IL j. assorted these
obligations were advanced commissions 20
the agents and should have been s9t down
as expenditures instead OF being created
a. assets. Concerning this matter II was
said that in view Of all that has been going
on in the Equitable society there has been
an evident difidence on the part OF the
Hartman Hyde directorate TO tell how
much they had paid for COMMISSIONS the
theory being that they had paid Is per cent?
but would report only that they had paid
81 Der cent, and that the remaining rs
per cent. would be spread over a series OF
year,. ,,,,,-,
The charter OF the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society does not permit its stockholders
10 receive more than per cent IN dlVldenas

reported within tho last two years that
