HENDRICKS TO AGENTS.
State Superintendent of Insurancs

State Superintendent of Insuranco
 Says He will Probe Thoroughly.
 SYRACUSE. N. Y., April 22.-Prefer- ably naturalization, the turning over of substantial control to the policy hold .rs. or some other remedy to relieve the embarrassing situation in the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance society was the burden of the request made of Superintendent of Insurance Francis Hendricks by the committee of general agents who laid their wishes before him here. About forty of the members of the special committee of seventy-two appointed at the meeting of general agents recently held in New York were present at the conference Held at noon In Superintendent Hendricks office at the State bank of Syracuse, of which ,e is president. In his reply Mir. Hen 1ricks said:
 "As far as the naturalization of the company is concerned I have already expressed myself very clearly: I am very much in favor of that outcome. I am not sure. however. that you can ob. tain the relief desired by legislation. Of course I speak to you as superin- tendent of insurance. You know have DO control over the legislature and can- not say what that body would do. The question has got to be determined by the courts. If Judge Maddox decides that I have no power to put in force the amended charter an appeal will be made either to the court of appeals or the United States courts.
 "I will assure you. though, that whether legislation is feasible or not I'm heartily in favor of naturalization. And I will tell you, too. that before we get through the examination the insur- ance department will disclose if there are dummy directors. I will find that out absolutely. You can rely on this. When we get done we will tell yoa the true condition of that society. I can't tell you how long it will be. whether days. weeks or months. but it will be thoroughly done. In the meantime the Prick committed has asked questions Of the officers which will take them thirty or forty days to answer"
 After the conference the agents gen. orally expressed satisfaction at the re- ception accorded them by Mir. Hen dricks.

HIGGINS TO AGENTS
Governor Says Courts Must

THINKS SITUATION IS UNFORTUNATE
Special Committee of Assurance So. >cfety's Agents Wait Upon New YOrks Chief Executive. Fol-
 lowing Visit to Hendricks.


 Yorks Chief Executive. Fol-
 lowing Visit to Hendricks.
 ALBANY. N. Y.. April 22.-The crisis Tn the affairs of the Equitable Life as- surance society was laid before Gov ernor Higgins at the executive cham Der by the committee of thirty-five of the managing agents of the society, which earlier in the day at Syracuse had made the same appeal, for mu- tualization of the society, to Superin- tendent Francis Hendricks of the state insurance department. The views of the agents were presented to the gov ernor by Joseph Bowes, manager for the Equitable at Baltimore, as chief spokesman, and he was seconded by Edward A. Woods of Pittsburg, Archi- bald c. Haynes of New York and Regi- nald T. Naist of London. The agents slso presented to the governor the reso- lutions adopted earlier in the week by the agents convention in New York city. ,.. ......
 Governor Higgins made very evident his appreciation of the great serious ness of the situation in the Equitable society. His reply to the speeches was heard with an attention which it is no exaggeration to describe as strained, and when he concluded there was 6 burst or applause.
 q realize fully" the governor began, ''that this is very serious talk. I re- alize fully that the policy holders of this company have been led to believe that it was mutual in it's character. I would be glad to do anything within reason that could do to bring about naturalization. But I desire to call to your attention the fact that difficulties that arise between citizens in the state of New York very fortunately T would say, rather than unfortunately cannot be settled by the governor nor by the legislature. Those questions of difference have to be settled in this state by the courts.'
 MT. Bowes told the governor that the committee represented managers and agents from all over the world, some of whom had grown gray in the serv- ice of the Equitable, men intensely loyal to the society, men not only large policy holders, but whose whole earn ings for ten, fifteen and twenty years are bound up with the present condi- tions and future welfare of the so- ciety."
 After referring to the sentimental at- tachlnent for the name of Hyde, which, he said, had induced the old officers to stifle personal ambition and consent to the elevation of James H. Hyde to the vice presidency, Mir. Bowes declar- ed futile the compromise involved in the amended charter adopted by the directors, and he concluded: "We ap, peal to you and to the legislature. We appeal to you to use the great power of your office to promote the move. ment for the amendment of the charter 50 as to secure immediate and com. plete naturalization of the society. Our appeal is made in the name of the poll cy holders. officers, managers and agents of this company throughout the entire world"

 NEW YORK, April 222.-While the or thodox Jews. who form the entire pOpu- lation of the Brownsville section of East New York, were in the midst of the celebration of the feast of the Passover a fire started in the very heart of the colony which destroyed twenty-nine buildings before it was checked and at one time threatened to wipe out the entire settlement.
 Frame buildings fairly choked with people caught fire and burned like tin der, a half dozen synagogues, which were crowded with worshipers. were wiped out and whole families were im- prisoncd in the upper floors of some of the houses and rescued with difficulty.
 Outside of the twenty-nine buildings totally destroyed a score of others, some three or foIr blocks away from the center of the conaagration. caught fire from flying embers. The firemen were kept buzy rushing from one pdrt of the settlement to the other putting out little fires. The residents them selves were of no assistance, becoming wildly excited at the first appearance of the fAmes and devoting their time to running about and wringing their hands.
 The flames were started in frrni- ture establishment by the careless throwing of a cigarette into pile of excalSfor

 Is it up to the husband to tell his wife lie, when after he has told her the truth, she disbelieves him? Sup pose that by reason of some accident he has been detained, and when he makes his appearance his wife greets him with anything but pleasant smile and he starts to tell her the un- vanished truth and is doubted, and then he has recourse to q plausible excuse for his delay, but which is well within the realms of fiction. is he not justified? This is question that was solved in most entertaining manner by Mrs Temples Telegram" at, Poli's this afternoon.
