HYDE ON THE STAND.
So Many People Present That Extra
Police Were Required.

New York, Nov. Thames H.
Hyde. former vice president of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society.
was a witness in the legislative insll-
rance Investigation today. Owing to
the great crowd, extra police were
stationed in the corridor outside the
committee room. Hyde said that he
became second vice president of the
Equitable one month after graduating
from Harvard College. He had been
a director OF the company for two
years, and had studied with the spe-
cial object in view of succeeding his
father in the insurance business. He
did not receive any salary during his
first two years connection with the
company, but when elected vice pres
ident his salary was fixed at 100000
year.
His duties, Hyde said, constantly
increased, and his salary was advanc-
ed to $4,000, and finally in 1908, to
100000. Hyde was asked if he was
willing to serve the company at
$4,000 sa1ary7-and he replied that he
was. and caused a laugh by remark
ing that he did not think he could
get it anywhere else.
Hyde testified that the object of
the mysterious s650,000 loan made by
the Mercantile Trust Co. to the Equi-
table was to buy up the stock of the
Equitable as it came into the mar
ket and to make political contribu-
tions Hyde said that the only politi-
was s25, 900 TO Cornelius N. Bliss. the
treasurer of the Republican National
Committee in the last presidential
campaign. This, he said was solicited
by H. C. Frick.
Last summer when the banking de-
partment called for repayment of the
$685., 900 and the Equitable repudiated
the Ioan. Hyde said that Mr.. Alexan-
der and Mr.. Jordan raised as much
as they could. and then he NIyde)
took up the balance, s212.9e0. He
thought he was generous in this, as
he had not received any benefit from
the loan.
Hyde knew. only by hearsay of the
George H. Squire trustee account. He
had since learned that its purpose
was to apply the profits of this ac-
count to the payment of the s6S5.0oO
loan, of which Alexander and Jor-
dan were trustees. but instead of pro-
fits there was a loss.

Passengers and Freight Traffic on the
Coast and Columbia River Present
Heartenins Possibilities for the
Merchants and Owners.

The bad weather that has prevailed
Off the coast for the past two weeks
has delayed the early preparations fol
the logging season to an extent. Two
small RATS that were moved went tc
pieces in the river, and the warning
was sufficient for the majority of the
interests. The large RATS viii not be
begun for at least month. and 1t is
likely that the operations at the
principal camps that are prepar-
ing material for the mills win be held
back until there is certainty OF
smooth enough weather to permit OF
RATS being held in the channels.
The impetus that has been given the
coast traffic by the addition of formid-
able competitors in the freight carry
ing trade has not yet seen its end.
and the announcement by the Harri-
man interests that large and fast boats
win be placed on the San Francisco
Portland run during the spring and the
summer is causing the local freighters
to think twice about the statements
they have been reiterating that there
is not sufficient cargo and passenger
traffic to keep the vessels now on the
runs going ON paying basis. For ten

There is competition among the freight
agents, but there has been freight
enough so that the losers Of the larger
cargoes have not gone jobless, and in
creased demand is putting the wharf
agents in better humor.

Some of the icicles were many feet

New York, Feb. 11.--Much damage
has been done to summer cottages
wharves, landings and boat houses
along Rockaway beach by the heavy
ice and the action of the tide. Losses
already have reached $4,000 and when
the spring thaws occur 1t will be
greatly increased.
The ice freezing thickly around the
piles upon which the cottages are built
has been gradually raised by the tides,
carrying piles and all upward. In
consequence cottages have been tilted
on one end and some have already al
most been overturned. Wharves have
been uprooted while frail boat houses
have been demolished At some points
the blocks of lee are four or five feet
thick.
