HYDE DEMANDS INVESTIGATION.
Plan to Put Policy Holders on EGuit-
able Directorate at Ratio of %
to 24 Approved by all
Parties.
(By the Associated Press.l

New York, April 1.-After a con-
ference of five hours in the New York
office of State Superintendent of In
surance Hendricks, at which were
present representatives of the various
interests in the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society controversy, two official
statements were issued, one which
suggested a solution of the differences.
and a second some hours later by
James II. Hyde, first Vice-president Of
the society. who declared that he had
requested the State insurance depart
ment to make a thorough and drastic
investigation of the entire manage
ment of the society,"
Mr. Hdye's statement declared that
the ''scandalous charges relating to
his conduct as a director and an off,
Ger" were false and these charges
"have their origin in an eoffrt by in
dividuals to obtain control of the
Equitable Society and its assets
He said that he did not control the
society, and that he has no official
power in the society except such as
the president of the society chooses to
give him and has accorded no power
except with the concurrence and for
the benefit of the society itself.
The first statement issued. which has
the approval of all sides to the con-
torversy, suggests representation of
the policy-holders in the directory at
the ratio of % to "a, that four vacan-
cieS be created in the executive COM
mfttee, the superintendent of inSur-
ance to designate the four names
which should retire, and the policy
holders to name two of the new names
and Cornelius n. Bliss the other two.
AS explained to the Associated Press
by one of the attorneys present, the
agreement reached means that the
Crimmins policy-holders committee,
as party of the first part. MIR. Hyde,
principal stakeholder, as party of the
second part; Mr.. Hendricks, superin-
tendent of insurance, as party of the
third part, and Mr.. Root. chief coun-
sci of the Equitable Society. as party
of the fourth part, have unanimously
decided upon a plan of naturalization
and Mr.. Root as counsel of the COM
pany will suggest its adoption by the
board of directors at q meeting which
is to be especially called to act upon
it.
Until the board of directors acts
on the plan to be submitted the
changes in the personnel of the board
which it contemplates including the
anmes of the four members of the
executive committee whom Superin-
tepdent Hendricks is to name for re-
tirement will not be known.
John d. Crimmirs, of the policy
holders committee, in an interview,
said tonight:
''The result of the conference in
Mr.. Henrick's office means that there
will be injected into the new board of
directors four men not friendly to Mr..

SLAVERY OF RUSSIAN CHURCH.
Demand for COnyocation of Council
to Consider Reforms.
(By the Associated Press.

st. Petersburg, April 2.-(Sunday.)
--2 a. m.-The movement just begun
for greater freedom for the Russian
church and the demand for the con-
vocation of n general council to con-
slider reforms in the spiritual and adj
ministrative life of the church. and
voiced in the manifesto of a group of
st. Petersburg priests. finds support in
the influential clergy not only in the
capital but in the provinces. and is to
be regarded as another manifestation
of a general revolt in Russia against
the domination of the bureaucracy.
which is equally predominant in
church as in political administration.
It is q mistake TO suppose the move
ment is directed against the Emperor.
with whose position as divine repre-
sentative and viceroy unon earth the
whole relief of the Russian church is
bound mp. but against the sub,prdina-
ton of church to civil authority aims.
which have been steadily growing
since the institution by Peter the Great
of the Holy Synod.
The manifesto was followed yester-
day by a letter from Bishop DmiITi
of Novo- Mirgorod. one of the influ-
entail provincial bishops in which he
demands freedom of the church from
the power of the Chinovnike and the
bureaucracy ar1 names the chief pro-
curator of the Holy Synod both as an
official whose power needs curtailment
and who himself stands in the way of
reform.
The whole movement, i'm fact, is
aimed at procurater general of the
Holy synod Pobedonostseff and the
chancellerie under his direction.
which. though in essence a political
organization. has attained such pow
ers that without it's permission no pull
pit can be occupied, and not even re-
pairs in a church in the remntcst gov
eminent. can be undertaken.

Paris, April 1.-Germanys advent
In the Mediterranean as shown by EN-
peror Williams visit to Morocco and
Chancellor Won Buelow's speech is the
absorbing question of the day. Now
for the first time Germany makes her
appearance in the South and asserts
that she has strong interests in the
territory bordering on the Medterran-
can.
The sequel to the present complica-
ton arouses considerable solicitude. 1t
is maintained that Germany's claim
to have the open door indefinitely pro-
longed would result in giving Germany
commercial privileges exceeding those
OF the other powers. Beneath digni-
fled external calm considerable irrita-
ton prevails in government quarters
here. However, this does not show a
menacing tone. The attitude of the
press also is free from menace.
