How Mutual Life Insurance Money
Is Handled.
TRUST COMPANY PROFITS
SOME HIGHLY INTERESTING TES-
TiMONN.

NEW YORK, Sept. The affairs of
IL the Equitable Life Insurance So
ciety and the Mutual Life COM
pany held the attention today of the
legislative life insurance investigating
committee in session in this city. Moth
ing particularly new was developed in
regard to the Equitable society other
than a statement drawn from one of
the officers that the society does not
know the present whereabouts OF
Thomas d. Jordan, the former comp
troller. 1t was stated that Mr.. Jordan
was wanted as a witness to explain the
loan of $6s5,00O made to the Equitable
society by the Mercantile Trust COM
pany 1t was also stated that James
II. Hyde. former first vice president OF
the Equitable, later will be called as
witness before the committee.
Affairs of the Mutual.
The inquiry into the Mutual Life
Insurance company was begun. The
testimony drawn from an officer OF this
company showed that the MUTUAL con-
trolls many trust companies. among
them the Morton Trust company, the
Guarantee Trust company and the
United States Mortgage & Trust COM
pany On deposit with these COM
panies the insurance company keeps
hundreds Of thousands of dollars
against which it does not draw. 1t was
explained that the prosperity of the
! trust companies meant the prosperity Of
the insurance company. The insurance
| deposits draw 2 per cent and the trust
| companies pay as nigh as 20 per cent
dividends on the par value of the stock
/ or 5 per cent on the market value.
Money on the Side.
! Frederick Cromwell, treasurer Of the
| Mutual Life said the company had
! bought securities from syndicates, that
| officers of the company also bought Sc
curities from the syndicates and re-

Fearful Sunday Might.

Sunday night was more fearful than
the preceding one. Fires broke out in
several quarters and the firing of the
troops was uninterrupted.
Fires also broke out in the suburbs OF
Balakhan and SabuntO Telephone com

points was DESTROYED, ana it was inn

Arrival Of Cossacks.

Two hours later patrols OF Cossacks and
other soldiers armed with rifles began to
arrive from the barracks and these
troops Immediately engaged the rioters.
The firing between the warning factions
continued all of Saturday night. on Sun
day the situation showed no Improve
ment and firing was in progress all dur
ing the dav, the streets being deserted
except for the e0mbatants. No one dared
TO leave the houses. AT o'clock on Sun
day evening the first reflection on the
sky of fire in the Black Town" quar-
ter was noticed, and II was learned that
the Nobel oil reservoirs were burning.

Army OF Hunary Workmen.

A whole army of hungry Workmen.
driven in from the burned suburbs, has
flocked into the city. There is the great
est restitution and measures for trans
porting the Workmen from the city are
imperatiVely necessary. ReinfOrcements
of troops are arriving daily. and il is
hoped the authorities will soon have the
situation better in hand.
Following is a brief review, i'm Sc
quence of the events of the last six days
as witnessed a Bsku:
On the afternoon of Saturday last re
ports began running from mouth TO mouth
that the Tartars and Armenians were
massacreing each other Immediately
there was great alarm and a panic pre-
vailed. Stores were closed and windows
and doors were barTicaded. Twenty min
utes later sounds of rifle firing were
heard from the various quarters of the
city and everybody wished to flee but
no one could tell whether safety lay
within or without the city.
