impossible If Japan tried TO force upon
Russia humiliating terms such as the

SMOOTH SAILING
FOR EQUITABLE
Morton's Election Likely to Settle
the Squabble.
NATURALIZATION Is SURE
INTERVIEW WITH AN ANTI
HYDE DIRECTOR.

New York. June IA letter has been
sent 10 Thomas F. Ryan by George
Westinghouse of .Pittsburg accepting
membership in the board of trustees Of
the Equitable Life Assurance society.
Mr.. Westinghouse is now in this city,
he and Paul Morton being guests Of the
same hotel in Fifth avenue. After the
directors had finished their work by Sc
lecting Mr. Morton as chairman, Roger
Winthrop. financial manager of the so
Ciety, rendered his resignation It was
explained that he did this as a courtesy
to Mr.. Morton, that the new chairman
might not be embarrassed in any way
in the plans that he had for the reor-
ganiZation of the society.
While the result of the directors
meeting was widely discussed in the
evening wherever men of finance gath
cred, few of those directly interested
cared TO say much for publication.
Morton Congratulated.
In the evening Mr.. Morton attended
the Pilgrims clubs dinner to former
Ambassador Joseph Choate, and was
the recipient of many congratulations
over his new position.
when will you take charge Of Equi-
table affairs2" he was asked.
AS soon as I can be relieved of my
duties in Washington. My resignation
goes ito effect on July 1, but l expect
from this time on to pay more or less
attention 10 Equitable matters. I was
here to look after the other office for
which I had been chosen by the Metro
p0litan subway syndicate, but any con-
neCtion with that is now out of the
question. I do not know who will be
put in that place.
Charles Stewart Smith, an anti-Hyde
- - ~ Ill nj
tended the dinner, denied that he OPP
posed in any way the election Of Mr.,
Morton as had been stated.
Stewart Is Satisfied.
Il am perfectly satisfied with the re-
suit of the meeting said he We have
done everything that the public re-
quiTed of us and more We have COM
piled with everything that public opin-
ion has demanded, and rightly de-
manded.
This action means naturalization. II
matters not who has control of the
stock, naturalization must come, and
the board Is pledged to see that it is
carried out unless the court interferes
and I do not imagine that anything Of
the kind viii occur.
I have had a talk with Mr.. Nor
tor concerning the designations that
have been placed in his hands. I have
advised him strongly not to accept
them all When a man starts out to
run an establishment he cannot afford
to throw out all the old servants who
know how the place ought to be run
Mr.. Morton viii be compelled to sur
round himself with men who are con-
versant with the details. and I believe
he will keep at least some of those who
have resigned in the service of the So
Ciety.

Diplomatic Triumph.

It is a diplomatic triumph of the first
magnitude and the diplomats here make
no attempt to conceal their admiration
for the new world brand of diplomacy
which acts while the remainder Of the
world thinks.
The formal replies of Russia and ia
pan are expected to be transmitted
through Count Cassini, the Russian am
bassad dor at Washington, and NJ Taxa
hira. the japanese minister at Wash
ington, but the situation is such at
this hour as to leave no doubt of the
acceptance of both and that the ques-
ton Of the selection OF plenipotentiaries
and the place Of meeting will follow.
President ROOsevelt's urgent express
sion in favor of direct negotiations ex-
clusively between the belligeTents
points straight to the battlefield in
Manchuria as the scene Of the uego-
tiations and the diplomats generally
here entertain the view that Russia and
Japan had best settle their quarrel
there beyond the range Of possible out
c1dn Influence
