He Surprises the Insur-
anCe Investigators.
STARTLING STORY.
he Practically Accuses ex-GOv. 0deIl
of BIaCkmaiI; Charges FriCk
with Conspiracy.

New York, Nov. 15.-James Hazen
Hyde in the last half hour of the in
surance investigating committees ses-
sion yesterday practically accused ex-
Gov. B. B. Odell of blackmah, by
threatening through e. H. Hartman
to have the charter of the Mercantile
Trust Co. repealed unless Odells suit
to recover on bonds of the United
States Shipbuilding Co. was settled.
Mr.. Hyde created further sensations
by accusing the Frick commission of
unfairness in it's report, charging Mr..
Frick and Mr.. Hartman with con-
spiracy to get him out of the country
by inspiring him with the ambition to
become ambassador to France, and
with endeavoring to overthrow his po-
sition in the Equitable Life Assurance
Society.
Mr. Hyde said that he first received
a salary of 100000, seven years ago
In 1902 when he became chairman of
the finance committee this was ad-
vanced to 100000, at which it re-
manned until he resigned as vice pres
ident of the society.
Mr. Hyde presented a statement
showing that in the seven years of his
connection with the Equitable Life
and the allied corporations his aver
age income had been only little more
than $4,000 year. This was figured
as seven years salary from the Equi-
table amounting to s495,0OO from
which he deducted his losses in syndi-
cate transactions, amounting to $2S,-
615, and the $212,500 paid on the $685.
600 loan of the Mercantile Trust Co.,
which left balance of $193,SS4, or an
average annual income of $27,697, to
which was added the average income
from his offices in the trust companies
Of S1O500. Witness said he presented
this statement to show that he had
been misrepresented,
