HUGE INSURANCE
WAR IMMINENT
Hyde People in Equitable Com
pany Accuse the New York
Life.

New York, Feb. 22.-That the great
est insurance war on record is lmpend-
ing as the result of the internal trou-
bles Of the Equitable Life Assurance
society is declared by friends Of young
James H. Hyde.
clusion of five-hour conference be-
tween President Alexander and Mr.
Hyde. With it was coupled this state
mens;
upon exceptionally elaborate lines, a
rigid investigation which they expect
will show that the New York Life In
surance company had an important part
in bringing about the internecine strife
in the Equitable. -
Positive denials are made by officers
of the New York Life that they had
anything whatever to do with the trou-
BILE in the Equitable, and they, on the
other hand, declare that the publicity
attendant upon the fight in that COM
pany has injured the life-insurance
business of all the companies.
Perkins Is Named.
AS giving point to the charge against
the New York Life, friend of Mr..
conference, issued typewritten state
ment, in which the name of George w
Perkins, vice president of the New
York Life and partner of j: Pierpont
Morgan, is specifically used in connec'
ton with the allegation against the
other companies.
This is deemed Of great significance
and as proving the rumors that great
financial interests are clashing for con
Northern Securities company was
formed, Edward H. Hartman and j.
Pierpont Morgan have waged a relent.
less railroad war.
They are leaders of warning groups
Of fnanciers, and the fact that Harri
man has played so conspicuous a role
with the Hyde faction in the Equitable
trouble is accepted as indicating de-
sire to even accounts with an old and
known enemy.
Leaders of the forces in the fight fol
control Of the Equitable Life did not
try to disguise the fact that the strug
gle today is as bitter as ever.
Neither side will cease it's war until
the other has been completely elimi
mated from the control Of the great
corporation in which 100000 policy
holders are vitality concerned.
Eminent "Five-spotters.''
In the Equitable Life Assurance So
c1ety tnere are sixteen directors calleC
fve-spotters. They are not actu
ally owners Of any of the capital stock
Of the Equitable, but have been sup
piled with certificates of five shares
each by James Hazen Hyde.
These certificates are registered or
the books Of the company in the names
Of the men, but they are in the posses
sion of Mr.. Hyde, having been Endorsed
by the nominal holders and returned
to their real owner, Mr.. Hyde.
Many distinguished men in finance
and society are among the "fve-spot
ers.' The list is as follows:
A. j. Cassatt, president of the Penn
sylvania railroad; estimated wealth
100000.
August Belmont, president of the In
terborough Rapid Transit company; es
timated Fortune, $35,O0O,O0O.
George J. Gould, president of tn

SENSATION FOR
INSURANCE WORLD
Death of Unnamed Man Is to Be
Signal for Huge Up
heaval.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York, Feb. 22.-The biggest SEN
sation the insurance world ever has
known is brewing, and in time will be
public property, according to the state
ment of Moore Sanborn, general man
ager of the Security Trust and Life
Insurance company Of New York.
"The sensation will follow the death
Of man whose name I will not men
out in due time, and will be the biggest
revelation the insurance world ever has
SEEM ..
The statement was made Monday
night at the banquet of the New Eng
land Women's Underwriters associa-
tion, held at the Parker house, Boston.
Mr.. Sanborn was responding to the
toast, "Home Missionaries, when he
made the declaration Of the impending
sensation. .:. 1871
Big Insurance Men. H.
Gathered about the board were many
prominent insurance men and women,
among them John Dolph, president Of
the National Association of Under
writer's, and Louis L. Hopkins, presi-
dent of the Boston Life Underwriters ,
association. .
At the office of the Security Trust
and Life company it was said Sanborn
had not returned to the city. One of
the officers Of the company, when told
of the general tenor of Sanborn's re-
marks, said: ID
I have no idea as to what Mr.. San
born refers, unless it be the cordial rela-
lions existing between a prominent Wall
street banking house and rival Of the
Equitable Life Assurance society. The
well-known f1nancier Is a partner in a
banking house and an officer of the in
surance company. ~
1t is an open secret in the insurance
world that when this banking house
wishes to make a large loan for stock
underwriting or Similar purposes it gets
It from this insurance company, thru the
officer who Is one Of the partners in its
own firm. Technically there is nothing
improper in these transactions.
If the collateral offered by the banking
| house for loans depreciates in value the
| bankers have put up cash to make the
| difference good, so the policy holders are
protected. Nevertheless, this often has
caused comment among insurance men.
Equitable Fight Goes On.
The statement of Sanborn comes hot
| upon the recent fight for control of
the Equitable, and that the fight in
| the Equitable by no means is finished
was brought to light yesterday by the
| issuance Of a circular to the agency
force by President James w. Alexander
The circular declares to the agents
in SO many words that in the recent
battle the Alexander forces won and
that the victory is Of the greatest in
terest to the agency force.
Friends Of James Hazen Hyde, when
shown the circular, were wrathy over it.
Hyde would say nothing about the cir
| cular. @-"". 81 )"

Laws Are Confusing.

In view Of the fact that the laws
which have been enacted in many states
were SO varied, confusing, conflicting in
their requirements, and some Of the lar
gest societies operate in at least forty
states, the necessity for a uniform law
was taken up by the National Frater.
nal congress. One important feature
Of the uniform bill was the uniform
table Of rates which the National Fra
ternal congress adopted.
The insurance commissioners of all
states hailed with delight this table of
rates, and grasped the opportunity for
the enactment Of a uniform insurance
bill of their own in all states, which
would require all societies to raise their
rates to the rates Of the National Fra
ternal congress table. The National
Fraternal congress uniform bill, and
the insurance commissioners uniform
bill were both prepared.
But the two bills were Numerically
opposed. Joint meetings were held con
corning the bills with a view to- final
agreement. At a joint meeting in New

Reuters Telegram company from St.
Petersburg, confirming the Associated
Press advices from st. Petersburg to the
effect that peace was under considera-
ton, adds:
"The question of peace has not only
been formally discussed, but the con-
ditions on which Russia is prepared to

Korea to be placed under Japanese
suzerainty. -t~*-
Port Arthur and the Lao -tung PENN

patch, Giles in settling the question of

London Believes Report.
I The rumors that peace between Rus
STA and Japan is near are accepted by
the press Of London this morning as
having inherent probability. It is
pointed out as significant that Count
Benkendorff, the Russian ambassador
has had several audiences recently with
King Edward and that the king on Sun
day received in audience Mr.. Spring
Rice, councillor of the British embassy
at ST. Petersburg, who has just returned
from Washington, where he was re
ceived by Secretary Hay and President
Roosevelt. According to continental re
ports, the emperor Of Austria has usec
his efforts to persuade Emperor Mich
olas to seek peace. It is suggested that
the terms outlined by the st. Petersburg
correspondent Of the Reuter- Telegram
company may be regarded as forming
an extremely possible basis for peace
as they are held to include more thar
Japan claimed before the war.
