OF James H. Hyde's directories in
various corporations, Mr.. Hendricks
expresses the opinion that he was put
on these boards for the reason that
he was the financial head of a great
insurance corporation whose assets
were so large and whose ready money
was always available for the purchase
of securities which these great corpor-
ations are largely in the market to
SELL
The pension of $4,000 to Mrs. Hen
ry B. Hyde is condemned as unneces-
sary and probably illegal.
Dummy Directors.
OF the directors Mr.. Hendricks
found that only ten of the fifty-two
owned stock in their own right and
most of the others qualified on Hyde's
stock
H. C. Frick is the only man. says
Mr. Hendricks, who on the record
is not under obligations to Mr.. Hyde
and he qualified by Hyde stock
OF the financial condition Of the
society Mr.. Hendricks says: "The
executive committee transacts all the
important business of the society. The

that he executed the leases detrimen-
tai to the society's welfare and has
failed to meet the obligations imposed
upon him as chief officer Of the So
ciety.
The summing up against Mr.. Hyde
is more severe. 1t sets forth that he
permitted the society to lose heavily
in it's business transactions with the
Commercial Trust company: that he
eXacted salaries out of all proportion
to his age, ability or the value of his
services; that he has been accustom-
ed to draw large sums for expenses
on his own unitemized vouchers: that
he assumed domination OF the society's
affairs until the presidency was re-
duced to position of secondary i'm
portance and that he proceeded to use
the society and it's assets more and
more as if they were MS own, until
he was checked by the demand for
naturalization and his retirement.

Mrs. TooTner had been ill for a con-
siderable length of time and although
her death was not unexpected it am
as a great shock to her family and

extremely critical and her death was
expected at any time.

be learned with the deepest regret by
all who knew her. She possessed a
beautiful character and her many acts
of kindness will long be remembered.
Her disposition vas n to dispel gloom,
and make life brighter to those AROUND
her and her bright and sunny face will
be sadly missed in the hom she has
left forever. The members Of the grief
stricken family have the sympathy of
the entire community in their great
bereavement.
The deceased is survived by her hus-
band and three children, James Edwin
Mary Arch and Evander ]. TOomer. She
also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Annie E.
Weber, of Newport News, Va, and
Miss Lena Berry of this city, and a
brother, Mr.. Eugene Berry, also of this
city.
The funeral will be conducted MONDAY
afternoon at 4 o'clock from Grace
church, with interment in Oakdale.
