Special Cable Despatch 10 The SUN.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 5.-The civil popu-
lation Of the capital is alarmed by the Cars
sanctioning a policy OF repression, as Is
evidenced by the creation Of separate
Ministry of Police. Everywhere this Is
declared to mean the comforting OF a die
tatorship on Governor General Trepof.
He is now armed with all the exceptional
temporary powers that were introduced
in 1882 after the assassination of Car Alex
ander, and is authorized to arrest without
accusation and to Danish without trial.
A system that will be more severe than that
under the administration of Minister Of
the Interior Plehve is foreseen. The APP
pointment of Imperial Councillor Sturmer
as Minister OF the Interior is not yet known
to the public His appointment makes
the outlook backer still. His Governor

LEGISLATURE MAY ACT.
Gov. Higgins Talks Of Equitable Situation
Before He starts West.


ALBANY, June 5.-Gov. Higgins left
Albany tonight for business trip to Du-
luth which will last until about the middle
Of the month. For the first time to-day
Gov. Higgins expressed himself freely
and rather definitely regarding the at
fairs Of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety.
MIR. Hendricks. the State Superintend-
ent OF Insurance. said the Governor.
stopped over train yesterday on his
way from Syracuse to New York and we
had further talk about the Equitable
situation. Mr.. Hendricks expects to have
bis report al a result Of his examination
of the affairs Of the Equitable ready about
June Is. l expect to return to Albany
by that time. cannot predict what action
1t may seem wise to take until after / have
read Mr.. Hendricks's report.
Il do not anticipate that legislative
investigation Of the affairs Of the Equitable
will be necessary, although 1t is possible
that some action on the part Of the Legisla-
ture may be desirable at the extra session
which will consider the Hooker charges.
do not believe that a legislative investiga-
ting committee could gather any more
information than can the Superintendent
Of Insurance. Policyholders may be as
sured that conditions affecting the Equi-
able's affairs will be probed to the bottom.
and 30 far as lies in my power any evils
that exist will be corrected.
-Of course, cannot say definitely as to
whether or not the Equitable matter will
come up at the extra session. I see no
necessity for a general investigation OF
life insurance, and I have not given the
matter any consideration. l am fully
convinced. however, that insurance written
by New York State corporations ought
to be put upon a plane where no question
Of doubt can reach 1t 80 far as relia bility
and the honesty OF corporations authorized
to do that class Of business are con cerned.
am still IN doubt as to what Ia best to be
done in the Equitable matter regarding
the naturalization Of the company though
it would seem that Is question to be de-
cided by the courts.

MURDERED TWO GIRLS.
Farmha nd Then Took His Own Life. After
Setting the House Anre.

H1LLsBoRo, Ohio, June "a double
murder and suicide occurred about a mile
from here last night at the home Of Edward
Dimes, farmer in this county. Dines's
daughter Madge, IA years Of age, and a
young woman named Nettie Hart, who
was staying with her. were shot and killed
by David Baldwin, farmland, who then
committed suicide. He killed the girls
with revolver belonging to his employer
and used Dines's shotgun to kill himself.
The girls were in bed. Miss Hart was
shot twice. Miss Dimes tried to get away.
She was found in a room upstairs, with
one shot through her heart. Baldwin
was about 10 years of age and came to
Dines's about two years ago as tramp.
They took him in and fed him, and he asked
to stay and work.
At the time Of the murder Mr. Dimes
and his wife and another hired man were
in town at church. The man got home
first and found that the house was on fire.
He put out the blaze. No motive has been
found for the crime.

tendants at the meeting and they ought to
know what was going on. He then laid
proposition of the employers before the
meeting which was to the effect that the two
factions should get together, select an UNI
pire and place the dispute before him,
agreeing to be bound by his decision, the
employers also agreeing to be bound by
it. He said the trade agreement with the
union expired at the end of the year and
either side had six months to propose
changes. This time limit would expire
July /. and if no agreement was reached
the employers would take s;eps for protec-
ton.
4 volley of questions followed.
"Why does the constitution of the union
not allow members Of No. 3 who join the
union to become officers?' asked a man.
Because we don't want the old corrupt
element to get control again. MIR. Strong
replied.
Kisses and jeers followed.
A proposition for a general reorganiZa-
ton was received with frantic cheers, men
throwing their hats in the air. The meeting
was becoming rapidly more and more bois-
ferrous when it was suddenly adjourned
Mr.. Strong recommending those present
to lay his proposition before the union,
which meets in Gerlnania Hall on the
Bowery tomorrow.

RESTORES OLD STYLE POLICIES.
New York Life Will Resume Issuing Those
Paving Annual Dividends.

The Prick report on the Equitable and
especially its vigorous condemnation Of
deferred dividend policies is having wide
effect in the insurance business. 1t became
known yesterday that on Thursday, the day
before the publication Of the Prick report,
the trustees Of the New York Life decided
to resume issuing the annual dividend
policy, although 1t was declared yesterday
by an officer of the company that no attempt
would be made to push this form Of policy
in preference to the deferred dividend
style
The New York Life dropped the annual
dividend policy. the oldest form. about
Ave years ago. The reason given was that
there was no demand for such policies
from the public, the demand being almost
entirely for the tontine, or deferred dividend,
policy.
As matter Of fact the demand for the
deferred dividend policies was created by
the agents of all the big companies. as
they we're under instructions to make as
little mention as possible Of any other kind.
A report, said to have emanated from some
OF the agents OF the New York Life, had 1t
that coincident with the issuing Of the
annual dividend policy again there would
be big cut in commissions and that all
cash bonuses would be discontinued. This
was denied by the company's secretary
He said no change whatsoever had been
made in these lines.

ously hampered II the fight continues.

association and the union to see If some

other lockout is in order. followed by the
organization Of new union unless the
two factions can be united.
1t appears that the presi dent of the new
union, John F. Hogan. Is under charges
which were aired in police court and he
Is now out on bail pending hearing. One
OF the factions is headed by Hogan and
the other by Financial Secretary George
B. Abbott, and latterly individual strikes
OF one faction against the other have
started. Proceedings in the courts have
been begun over the control Of the funds
and there ia talk OF an appeal to the Dis
trict Attorney.
The contractors' association not only
hired Lyric Hall, but sent time sheets to
every ono Of it's employees 30 that they
should be paid for the time lost attending
the meeting. This was in order that the
majority Of the men who do not usually
attend the meetings of their union might
learn something OF the situation.
They came in such crowds that it re =
ouired the services Of several policemen
to keep them in order. and an overflow
meeting had to be held in another hail.
Cards were industriously circulated outside
by Electrical Workers Union 3. which is
locked out. After announcing the date,
hour and place of meeting, the cards said:
Who runs the Electrical Contractors Asso-
citation? The electrical contractors. OF course.
Who runs the New York Electrical Workers
Union? The electrical contractors Your

ployers not to Interfere with your business.
John C. Hatze, president of the Electrical
Contractors Association, was chairman
OF the meeting He said that the contrac-
tors wanted to know exactly how they
stood. There was plenty of work. but
everything seemed to be up in the air as
to who controlled the union. He then
called for James R. Strong; chairman of
the executive committee OF the association,
to explain the situation.
