mOny of Hyde COntrndicted
by Hartman and OdeHl.


New York, Nov. 1S:-Frank B. Jor-
dan, son of the former comptroller OF
the Equitable Life Assurance society,
was the first witness called before the
legislative insurance investigation COM
mittee Friday. He had testified at a
previous session that he did not know
the whereabouts Of his father or
mother and that he did not know
whether they were living or dead.
Friday he said be had not since
learned of his fathers whereabouts
He had received letter from his
mother who is in Canada. She said
nothing about his father. As to his
profits from fire insurance written on
properties mortgaged to the Equitable,
he said his father received none Of
them. He had no idea what proportion
Of his business the Equitable furnished
him.
With the end of the morning ses-
sion Friday Senator Armstrong; COM
mittee on insurance Investigation fin
ished a week that for strenuousness
and importance has been eclipsed by
no one week since the investigation
was inauguarted. Beside being the
week in which the most sessions have
been held, the witnesses have been the
most important, including the "big
guns" in the financial world. as well
as IN the insurance business.
Early in the week James H. Hyde
was examined and made charges
against q. H. Hartman and Former
Gov. Odell, who successfully appeared
and denied Mr. Hyde's statements and
Mr.. Hyde being recalled affirmed his
testimony. Then Senator chauncy M.
Depew was heard and when the ses-
sion opened Friday It was expected
that before the day was over Senator
Plat would be called. He is wanted
to testify as to the collection Of con-
tributions to political campaign funds
by the insurance companies, MT. Odeli
having testified Thursday that Sena-
tor Plat collected all such monies up
to last year. It is now expected that
the senator will be heard early next
week, possibly on Tuesday, when the
session will be resumed.

Of the state demanded an examination.

The fourteen months old son of
Judge and Mrs. H. H. Voorhees, died
last Saturday. The little fellow, who

with DIR. Cohen, the attending physi-
clan, and it was thought he would re-
cover. The next day he was taken
worse and death resulted. The funeral
occurred yesterday from the Voorhees,

by Rev. A. w. Hand and the funeral
was under the direction of Undertaken

PREPARING A DINNER.
Clean Up ms YOu Go and Save a Lot
of Time and Trouble.

An important point in the prepara-
ton of a dinner is to clear up as you go
along, SO that when dishing up time ar
riyes the table is not in a hopeless
muddle, covered with dirty plates,
dirty knives, spoons, basins, jars, etc.
Have a pan of hot water, into which
you can dip the knives, forks, etc, as
they are used, and then if wanted
again they only just require wiping.
If the flour bin has been used or a jar
out of the kitchen cupboard or the pot
Of coloring put them all back in their
places directly they are done with, SO
that there is plenty of space on the
kitchen table. With regard to the
saucepans that are used, a great
amount of trouble wil$pe saved if they
are filled with hot water as soon as
they are emptied of their contents and
put on n side.
In preparing a meal always have the
table set at least half an hour before
dinner. Be sure to think beforehand
how many hot plates, ETC., whether
large or small, and what vegetable
dishes will be required and dust these
well and get them thoroughly hot in
good time. These directions may seem
superfluous to some, but there are
plenty of cases, with young and mex
perienced cooks especially, where If it
were not for the personal supervision
OF the mistress these small but impor-
tant details would be overlooked alto

AvERTED GREAT PANIC.
THOMAS r. RYAN TELLS WHY HE
PURCHASED HYDE's STOCK
IN THE EQUITABLE.
ASSERTS he HAD NO OTHER MOTIVE
TRIES TO EvADE QUESTIONS AS
TO HARRlMAN's DESIRE TO
SHARE CONTROL.
ASSERTS he HAD NO OTHER MOTIVE

New York, Dec. 9.-Thomas F. Ryan
who purchased the control of the
Equitable Life Assurance society by
buying the stock of James H. Hyde,
was the first witness of the day be-
fore the insurance investigating com
mittee. .
Mr. Ryan testified that he bought
the Hyde Equitable stock because he
believed that by so doing he prevent
ed the most tremendous panic the
country had ever seen, which he be
lieved would have followed if the
Equitable would have been put in the
hands of a receiver. Mr.. Ryan said
that after his purchase E. H. Harri
man, president of the Union Pacific,
desired to share in the purchase Mr.
Ryan refused Mr.. Harriman's offer.
Mr.. Ryan declined to answer ques,
tions as to what was said at the con.
versation between him and Mr.. Harri.
man. Mr.. Hughes said he wanted to
know whether there was any truth in
the report that it was limited there
would be an investigation of the life
insurance business if Mr. Hartman
was not given an interest in the
Equitable. Mr.. Ryan declined to an
sWer and was upheld in his declina.
ton by Paul D. Cravath, his attorney.
Chairman Armstrong of the commit.
tee said the question was proper and
should be answered. Mr.. Hughes here
asked il Mr. Hartman had said any
thing to intimate that anything dis.
astrous would happen to Mr.. Ryan g
snterests iii he refused to share with
Mr.. Hartman. Mr.. Ryan again re.
fused to answer, although Chairman
Armstrong, in the name of the com.
mittee, directed him to reply.
Witness Finally Replies.
On advice of counsel Mr.. Ryan re.
piled that Mr.. Hartman had not made
such a threat. Mr.. Ryan said he had
directed his counsel to make the trus.
teeship of the Equitable stock perpet.
ual because lie did not want any heir
of his ever to control the property.
"How did it happen that you were
willing to pay $2,500,00O for stock
which you then put into the hands Of
trustees and upon which you get only
I per cent? asked Mr.. Hughes.
Il did it for the purpose I de-.
scribed," replied Mr.. Ryan. 81 thought
| was doing a public service and to
prevent the most tremendous panic
the country has ever seen if the
Equitable went into the hands of a
receiver
Reverting to Harrimans request for
permission to take a portion of the
stock Mr.. Ryan said he thought likely
he told Mr.. Hartman he should go
ahead with his plan as he saw fit re.
Sardless of what Mr.. Hartman want
ed. Mr.. Ryan did not remember how
much of the stock Mr. Hartman want
ed and he declined to say whether
Hartman offered to put the stock in
trust. Mr.. Hartman, he said, was
the only man who tried to get share
of the stock.
Our relations became strained,"
said Mr.. Ryan, "but we resumed re-
lations later when Mr.. Hartman be-
came satisfied that I would not part
with that stock to him or anybody
eise''
