Mr.. PIatt Got $4,000
from the Equitable.
TO USE IN POLITICS
The Mutual Life and New York Life
Also Gave FrequentIy--Ta
bell and Nichols Talk.

New York, Nov. 22.-The identity Of
Senator Depew's "rantankerous
friend from up the river" was disclos-
ed in the session of the legislative in
surance investigating committee yes
terday by the testimony of John A.
Nichols, a lawyer under retainer by
the Equitable Life Insurance Co. Mr..
Nichols had written Senator Depew a
letter referring to an individual in the
above terms, and this letter was read
at the session of the committee Friday
when Senator Depew was on the
stand. The senator was unable to re-
call who was meant by the "rantank-
erous friend" but yesterday Mr.. Mich
OILS disclosed series of payments to
w. S. Manning, of Albany, a former
actuary who had been connected with
the investigation of insurance compa-
nies in 1877.
Aside from the disclosures by Mich
OILS, the feature of the. day was the
appearance of Senator Thomas C.
Platt, who told of the contributions of
the insurance companies to state cam
paigns. The Equitable, the Mutual
Life and the New York Life were the
only insurance companies that made
such contributions. The Equitable
Life, the senator said, contributed
regularly $4,000 to the state cam
paigns, the Mutual Life the same sum
frequently and the New York Life a
sum not as large, occasionally These
monies were always delivered in cash
to Senator Platt's office by messenger,
and he turned them over to the state
committee.
The senator said he was expected
to influence the legislature when any
legislation appeared that was hostile
to the insurance companies. Senator
Platt said he believed he had asked
President McCurdy, of the Mutual
Life, for a contribution when the
needs were very great. He had, how
ever, never been asked to use his in
fluence on any measure before the
Legislature, nor had he ever done so.
Gage E. Tarbell, second vice presi-
dent of the Equitable Life, was also a
witness. He detailed history of the
agencies of insurance companies.

Four Men are Killed by an Explosion
in Laboratory.

South River, N. j., NBv, 22.-Four
men were blown to pieces yesterday
afternoon by an explosion at the labor
atory of the International Smokeless
Powder and Chemical Co. at Parlin.
They were:
John Pierce, Frank Spratford, John
Applegate and J. w. Redpath, superin-
tendent of the laboratory.
What caused the explosion will
never be known, as only the four men
were in the building at the time. The
building was one-story frame struc-
ture and because of the liability to ex-
plosions was separated from all 9TH
ers in the plant except one by space
of several hundred feet. The next
building was store house in which
supplies used in the other were stored.
This caught fire and was burned.

A MILLION IN FIVE MINUTES.
That Was the Profit OF New York
Speculator When Cotton Prices
SCARED.

New York, Nov. 22.-Joseph Hoad-
ley made $1,OO0,COO in five minutes
Tuesday over sudden rise in cotton
prices,
Cotton leaped So bale in less than
five minutes, meaning an increase of
$50,000,000 in the valuation of the
years crop.
Yesterdays furry in cotton was
brought about quick as a flash by the
receipt of telegraphic information
from the census bureau at Washing
ton, showing that up to November IA
only 7,49S,000 bales of cotton had been
ginned, as against 9,7S6,G46 bales at
the corresponding time last year.
New Orleans, Nov. 22.-With the
ginners' report coming like bolt from
a clear sky, yesterdays operations
were the most exciting of the year in
the local cotton market From the
lowest to the highest the range in
prices throughout the active futur,
positions ran as high as 105 points and
the net gain over Mondays closing
after the satisfied longs had taken
profits was from 81 to SO points.
When the report was due at 1
O'Clock local time, prices were at the
lowest of the day. Nearly every bull
looked for report of 100000 bales.
The report showing less than 100000
bales ginned is taken to mean, If the
estimate of the Southern Cotton asso-
citation that rs per cent. of the crop
was actually ginned this year up to
November IA is right, crop of slight
ly below 5000 900 bales
