DEPEW UP AGAINST 1T.
He and Senator Dryden Will Have to
Testify-Depew's Hand in An
other Syndicate,

New York, Sept. 21.-Today'S morn
ing session of the legislative Insurance
Investigation developed a great mass OF
testimony as to syndicate
profits Of the Equitable Life Assurance
society. Henry Rogers Winthrop. as
sistant secretary and financial manager
of the society, testified hat in one of
the lIquitable's syndicate operations,
Senator Depew was a participant to
the amount Of 100000. Senator Delew
and Senator Dryden. of New Jersey.
have been requested to appear before
the committee.
Then said Hughes, "Squires, first
as an officer Of the Mercantile trust,
writes to the Equitable and asks for
Equitable, signs checks paying the
Yes" replied Winthrop.
1t was announced prior to the OPEN
ing of the investigation that Jacob II.
Schiff, head of the firm of Kuhn. Loeb
d Co, bankers, had been subpoenaed
and will take the stand for examina-
ton either today or tomorrow.
Several vouchers signed by George
Fl. Squires as secretary OF the finance
committee of the Equitable Society
We're shown In evidence today as also
was a letter from George II. Squires
for the Mercantile Trust company to

A GIGANTIC STEAL
Claims of Thousands Of ~PoIicyhoIders
Practically Wiped Out in "West-
ern Life Indemnity" Deal.

Chicago. Sept. DEMONSTRATION of
the affairs of the Western Life Indem-
nifty company by a state examiner to-
day brought to light facts tending to
show that claims of perhaps thousands
OF policyholders in assessment COM
panies have been practically wiped out
through company manipulation. Eek
amtner Lucius Pfouts discovered that
no fewer than eighteen small Insurance
companies have terminated their exist
ence by merging into the Western Lire
Indemnity company. "Tha2 cans" said
the examiner, that the p~ol!cyholders
of the original companies have gone
through a sort Of eliminative process,
which leaves them practically uii;n-
sured, although they are still paving
their premiums, and ave beer doing
so for years.
This condition is not practically the
fault of the Western or other absorb-
ing companies. for the absorption is
done according to law"

BAD CROP SHORTAGE
Official Reports from Russia Show
Wheat Shortage Is Even Worse
Than Reported.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-In answer to In
quiry from the vice consul to Russia
in Chicago, the Russian minister of
finance cabled the statistic committee
an official crop report covering all Eu-
ropean Russia. The official report
makes the shortage in wheat somewhat
more than the extreme figures given in
previous sensational reports, but makes
the rye and oats shortage somewhat
less. The figures are; Wheat in 1905,
472. 500, 900 bushel; last year, ga, 600, 900.
Rye in 1906, 607, zoe, 900 bushels; last
year, 3S,600,000. Oats in 1905, 1885,
625, 900; last year 911 500, 900. The above
shows the following shortages as COM
pared with the official production last
600; oats, 176,2T5,000.

Washington, d c.. Sept. 30-There is
a big row in the state department over
the way in which secret information has
become public property recently. The
key to the cipher in which all imports
ant messages to and from foreign pow
ers are put is believed to be in the pos
session at least of one foreign govern
ment. This situation has led the presi-
dent TO direct that greater care be
taken in enciphering and deciphering
messages, so as to place the response
bility upon as few persons as possible.
1t has been embarrassing to the pres
ident 10 find that Instructions which he
sends to the state department for trans
mission to representatives of the United
States abroad AVE become public be-
fore they have reached their destina-
ton. Sometimes the Instructions were
confidential and We're to be observed
only in certain contingencies. Their
publication forced the hand of the adj
m~inistration before it was ready to play
the garne.
There has been an embarrassment
also through the publication of infor-
nation which has been obtained conf
dentially for the use of the president in
determining the policy the United
States should follow in questions that
have developed.

Il am especially grateful for the

from all quarters during my recent III
ness. and | go nome with a most vivid
recollection of The good will and friend
illness OF the American people for ia
pan, which has, l am convinced, grown
Immensely, both numerically m in in
tensily.
"Availing myself of this occasion I
deem it fitting that | should express
my highest appreciation Of the diSin-
lerestcd, energetic and unlethitti1s cf-
forts of the president in the successful
Initiation and contamination of peace,

deep gratitude.
As the result of the war Japan will
undoubtedly secure a well recognized
position in the far east. | have. how
ever. no hesitation in affirming that
there will be no break in Japan's for
cisn policy. Firmly adhering to the
policy of peace, full expansion in COM

her energies with renewed vigor to the

to respect the acquired interests of the
powers in the east. nor will she at
tempt to Interfere in the least with the

American people throughout the ire
