NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-President
Paul Morton outlined the policy of the
new management of the Equitable Life
Assurance society in an address which
he delivered at Manhattan Beach to-
day to $50 agents of the society who
come from different parts of the coun-
try.
After briefly reviewing recent events
in the Equitable Mr.. Morton said: II
am going to say few words to you OH
your new administration. There will
be no attempt to make it dazzlingly
brilliant. The effort will be to make it
honest. courageous and conservative.
There will be the greatest consideration
shown for the policy holders and at
every turn their interests will be pro-
tected. All of the new directors are
policy holders. Businesslike methods
will prevail. The more economy of
the right sort we can institute the
more we can save the policy holders.
INVESTMENTS Will pS VI IAS highest
character.
1.-THE institution will not be run as
an adjunct to any one or several bank
ing houses. Every owner of securi-
us, and our aim will be to buy the
very best at the very lowest prices.
The cheaper the society can be prop,
erly administered the better we can In
vest our earnings and the better show
ing we can make. the easier will it be
for agents to sell our insurance.
IT want to see the insurance bust
ness removed as far as possible from
politics. I believe in proper laws safe
guarding the sacred trusts of insur-
ance, and I will cooperate in the en-
actment of any necessary laws with
that end in view. We shall all work to
put the business of life insurance on
the elevated plane 1t ought to occupy.
1.-THE new management of the Equit-
able will insist on an annual audit of
it's affairs by an unbiased and inde-
pendent accountant. There will be no
attempt to deceive anybody. not even
ourselves.
"Retrenchments are the order of the
day in the Equitable. They will
amount to over 100000 per year, which
is equal to per cent on an investment
of $15,000,000 They will amount to a
much larger sum before we are
through, and I am sure that we Will
satisfy not only our policy holders and
our own agents, but the many who

DISASTER IN NEW YORK CITY
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE death list
of todays accident on the Ninth
avenue elevated railroad, when a car
crowded with early morning workers
on their way downtown was pitched
into the street, stands at twelve. Three
men are in hospitals with fractured
skulls. One of these, who as yet re-
mains unidentified at Roosevelt hos
pital, is unconscious and not expected
to live. More than two score of persons
were injured, many of them seriously.
The cause of the accident and the i'm
mediate responsibility remain to be
seen. The motorman of the wrecked
train is a fugitive, while the switchman,
conductor and four guards are under
arrest.
The switchman is charged with man
slaughter and the trainmen are held as
witnesses. Tonight Coroner Scholer,
who has undertaken the work of fix
ing the blame for the wreck, announced
that the switchman's bond had been
placed at $4,000 and those of the wit
nesses at $1OO each.
Whatever may have caused the mis-
take the accident, the worst in the his
tory of the overhead railroads in New
York, came when a southbound train
on the Ninth avenue line was switched
off to the Sixth avenue line at the Fif-
ty-third street junction.
The motorman, expecting a clear
track on the direct line of the Ninth
avenue line, without regarding the
warning signal that the switch was
open, rushed his train along at high
rate of speed. The first car swung
around the right angle curve, hold
ing to the rails because of the weight
of the train behind. Then the strain
became too great. The couplings broke,
the second car was whirled about al
of those who looked on from below,
pitched into the street.
Passengers Hurled to Death
The first indication people on the side
walk had of the accident was loud
rumbling along the overhead structure.
Looking up they saw shower of
sparks. Then followed splinters and
the sound of splitting timbers. Sud

road structure gave way, score of

by ASSOCldIeu E-ESSS'
VIENNA, Sept. 11.-All hope of peace
between the crown and the united oppo-
sition in the Hungarian diet seems to
have come to an end. 1t is understood
that Emperor Francis Joseph, who at
first was apparently inclined to acqui-
esce in the plan of the Hungarian min
listers for the granting of universal
suffrage as one way Of bringing about
the defeat of the united opposition, has
been induced to change his mind by
the Austrian ministers, who feared the
effect on political conditions in Austria
If universal suffrage should be granted
to the Hungarian people.
1t is not considered likely that Pre-
mier Fejervary's consultation with his
colleagues will lead to any modifica-
tion of the Hungarian ministerial pro-
gram. and it is thought that at the
audience tomorrow the emperor will
reject the idea Of universal suffrage and
that the TejeryarZ cabinet win resign.
