mo FRAUD"-UNT.ERMYER
Demurrers IN Equitable Suit Argued
Before Justice Bisckof.

In the Supreme Court, Special Term, Part V,
before Justice Bischoff, demurrers were ar
gued yesterday in the suits brought by At
torney General Mayer against the Equita BILE
Life Assurance Society and it's former directors
to make accounting Of its funds and to divide
the surplus among the policyholders.
Samuel Untermyer opened for the defendants,
contending that the demurrers should be main
tained ON the three grounds that there was
no cause of action at all, that such causes Of
action, if any, were not such would be pre-
ferred by the Attorney General and that there
had been nisjoinder in the causes Of action, If
any and misjoinder of the parties defendant.
There was he contended, no connection between
actions for relief from an alleged malfeasance
oe dutv and to procure the distribution of the

defendants were improperly Joined in the case.
for many of the directors were entire stran-
gers TO the complaint against the directors. Mr..
TTnternver declared there could not possibly be
any alleged or deliberate fraud. although
nossIbIv the defendants might be open to an
action at law for loss through negligence. There
could not be any question of fraud, however.
Therefore the Attorney General could have no
standing in the casa.
He argued that the directors could not be
held responsible for the societys proceedings
and contended that the Vlsaollty or advances
to agents was entirely within the discretion OF
the directors and there could be no question of
their liability in the case.
NOTHING TO PROVE COMPLETELY"
AS to the contention of the Attorney General
that the defendants were liable because they,
as directors also Of certain trust companies,
were parties TO the arrangement by which these
companies made the difference between and 3

Sends Check to Je10ish Defence Fund
Others Viii FoII0zc.

Jacob Fl. Schiff yesterday sent his check for Se0
to DR.. ]. L. Magnes. president of the Jewish De-
fence Association, East Side organization which
is collecting money to the Jews in Russia.
This movement has heretofore been opposed by
their uptown co-religionists but the East Siders
seem to have won their point. the opposition is
likely to be removed by this action of Jacob H.
Schf
Mr.. Schifs contribution will probably be fol-
lowed by others from those who have thus far
concerned themselves only with the OF the
massacre victims.
Another proof of the extent of the disorders
existing in Russia was received yesterday in a
cable dispatch from Sir Samuel Montagu, in Lon
don, to Jacob H. Schif. The message shows also
under what difficulties the work of relief for the
Jews is carried on The dispatch is follows

John w Foster, ex-Secretary of State has con-
demned the outrages on the Jews in Russia and
has sent check for the relief work. Mr.. Fosters

out country for this object we'll pro-
test against the horrible barbarity which has
Gently disgraced the Russian Empire, and l desire
to join in the general detestaton of this outrage
against our common humanity.
The general relief fund reached nearly the $4,000
mark yesterday. There reported the further
contribution of $6S $40 O6 The exact total Of the
money received by the national COMMITTEES is
S79S.O64 29.
In the list of additional contributions appears
third remittance of $4,000 from Philadelphia, max
ing $4,000 from that city. which is the second larg
amount for cities outside of New-York Chicago
being first with $4,000. boxful of money was
brought in yesterday from the College of the City
of New-York, representing collection taken up
there. 1t amounted to $50 45.
The contribution of $1,000 by the B'nat Birth,
District No l. is instance which shows that the
fund will be larger than the most sanguine
member of the committee had hoped. Charles

pledged the latter to contribute 5000. which

POLISH DISCONTENT is A
MENACE TO GERMANY

Berlin Nov. ga remarkable ar
ticle In the Tageblatt shows what d
serious matter the Polish unrest Is to
Germany. The editor, under the head
ing, give Way" calls on the govern
ment. in view Of the troubles kvhicn
are threatening Germany ON alr sides.
to take measures to remove the causes
of discomfort among the German peo-
pie as Will result in uniting them
against an enemy should disastrous
days come.
The Tageblatt, turning toward the
west, sees in England. and France, two
powers which are In no sense friendly
to Germany. In the east affairs are
still more threatening The Roman
offs, Count Whites and all the forces OF
order may be swept away by some gil
gantic upheaval, which will hurl the
waves OF revolution into Germany.
What, says the Tageblatt, will be the
attitude of the German Poles in the
face of such a cataelysm? Has the
Prusstan government been wise in the
adoption of policy which has made
the Poles the bltterest enemies of Ger
many?
The article then turns to the wretch
ed electoral laws of Prussia. which
practically exclude the working classes
from voting against members of the
diet 1t eastlgates class rule and class
justice, and points out how the gov
eminent has done nothing to mitigate
the heavy pressure on the people in the
scarcity of meats which has now last
ed four months, calling upon Chan
cellor Won Buelow to remove the pro-
hibitIon on the importation of meat
before he Is compelled to do so by
some great popular movement.
The heavy taxation already and the
threatened new taxes cause discomfort
everywhere. according to the Tage-
blatt which concludes with the solemn
warning to the government to yield
to circumstances before It Is too late.

FLEETS GATHER
TO BLUFF SULTAN
Europe AnxiouSly Awaits Outcome of
Formidable Demonstration.

London. Nov. 23-The persistent
refusal of the Turkish government to
accept European control of the reve-
nues of the vilayets of Macedonia not
withstanding the ultlmatum presented
by the allied powers. is about to lead
to the putting into operation of the
threat of a naval demonstration, with
the view of compelling the aequies-
cence of Turkey in the European con-
troll of administrations of reforms IN
Macedonia. The obduracy of the sui
tan apparently is based on the belief
that he had the passive support of the
emperor of Germany. and upon jeal-
ousles supposed to exist among the
powers Interested
In diplomatic quarters 1t had been
supposed to the very last that the
sultan would yield, and even now Il IS
expected that he viii do so before the
international fleet takes active meas
ures. II Is understood that the sultan
appealed vainly to Emperor William,
Emperor Nicholas and Emperor Fran
els Joseph against the proposed dem
onstratQn The powers are said 70
have agreed as to the first part OF
their procedure on the seizure OF the
harbors and custom houses of the ISL
and Of Mytilene. the island of Lemnos
in the northern part of the Aegaen sea
and the island of Tenedos on the west
coast of Asia Minor.
The fact that the session of the
council of ministers at which the' pro-
posals OF the powers were rejected.
was stormy one, and that all the
ministers except the minister of war
favored yielding to the ultimatum.
leads TO the belief othat the sultan
will yield at the first show of deter
mihation on the part of the powers
after satisfying his people that he is
Yielding to superior forces. This Is
said to be the view OF Count Goln-
thowski the AustTo- Hungarian minis
ter of foreign Affairs.
